Interestingly, as far as Fatal Fury games go, the PCE versions always seem to have the worst looking floors.  A good example of this is the floating raft stage.  The other versions have floors with actual perspective.  The logs on the PCE versions, however, are all facing the same direction with no perspective whatsoever.

I would love to add a special "The Logs of Fatal Fury" sub-section...but I need folks to contribute a bunch of interesting screenshots to help illustrate your point.

No, I'm not joking. 

In fact, I would love to add anything you folks (including Joe) want to emphasize/point out in these comparisons. I just need screenshots and competent explanations of the point you are trying to illustrate.

I can only do real system grabs and those will be of lower quality than emulator grabs.  I have RGB out but no way to capture it.  I can transcode it into component but no way to capture that either.  So my captures need to default to s-video which everyone hates.  My Game Sack captures are all S-video for the Turbo.  Early on they were composite.

Yeah, for everything that the PCE Fatal Fury ports have that other 16-bit ports don't, a few background aspects are missing, likely to save on space. Although 18 megs is a lot, the PCE versions not only have huge sprites that are super animated, -the second size for the alternate plane effectively doubles the amount of animation per fight. Still, the ground/floors all look nice, especially the logs. They're just different/unique.

The FFS page has a mismatched screen shot.

I looked at a set number of moves and if i remember right it was about double the number of frames compared to the snes or genesis ports, plus you have the smaller redrawn sprite  in the pce port which isn't much smaller than the large snes sprite...the snes just uses the same sprite for the second plane, it just rearranges the pixels to make it look shorter or thiner. So basically a hell lot more frames than any non neogeo 16bit(pce snes genesis) game.

LOL, SNES FAIL!

does soemone know of how big in graphic size was the biggest ACD game. e.g. SNK beat em up and sapphire? it seems that drac x was the largest SCD game with 19.8MB of pure graphics. that makes almost 160Mbits which is half the size of first generation AES games (in terms of limitation).

Well, if anyone out there wants to take screenshots of unique "The Logs of Fatal Fury"...

Also, to add to my earlier request, I think it would be neat if we added "Notes" to each entry...we can pull some notes from the existing comments, but you folks probably have new stuff to add.

Feel free to contribute any trivia/observations/context that you think is relevant...

Thanks

Did you mean to label the Strider pics as "SuperGrafx"?

Yeah, and I thought I did. Damn, I must be really tired.

Parodius Da!

One thing I like to point out with the parodius pink cloud stage boss and I know this sounds anal.. is that huge sprite the SNES has a few frames missing.. notably when you meet her on the pce and arcade edition her hair is tied up and falls down as you begin to fight her.  SNES version the hair remains fallen as you greet her.
