Why are you so concerned with copyright violations? There's all kinds of let's play videos on Youtube with the cut scenes in them.

I've been warned at least once for a Power Rangers video before. Part of it was for humor's sake, part of it was sincere uncertainty.

I was wondering something about those big guys in Billy's level that were throwing you. Could you have done the up+Jump escape like you can when the Signals throw you in SoR?

I feel bad for not even trying that. I'll be sure to give that a try.

And that's Billy, my favourite character from the FF franchise. Always liked how "normal" he is in relation to everyone else in the game.

I might have missed it, but did you have your personal rankings for the characters in these videos? Who is the best, or who is your favourite, etc?

Andy is my favorite to play as of the main characters, but Tung is by far the most OP.

Outside of the main game (as in, the extra modes we'll get to shortly), I'm a huge fan of Duck King and Billy Kane.

In the final video of the main game, we at last come face to face with Geese Howard.

Final Bout: Geese Howard


See you for the extras!

Fun fact (well, as fun as you may think it is). The theme of that stage is actually the theme that plays when Terry fights Geese in the anime (the one where he beats Geese using a Ryu-esque hurricane kick and not a Power Wave).

Also, I liked how the final battle was on a 2D plane, however I can see why it would be annoying to fight on.

It wasn't really annoying by itself. If you remove the game's biggest flaw (the way the enemies get stuck inside you), the battle against Geese is a highlight of the game. It manages to draw inspiration from the original Fatal Fury while also giving it a second life through new design.

And I had no idea where that music was from, but I feel a lot smarter for knowing now.

After much unease and several days of telling myself to think about it later, I've come to the conclusion that a side-scrolling beat em up megathread is exactly what the genre needs. It's underrepresented, poorly represented, and it needs be preserved for posterity. As thoroughly as humanly possible. So I'll get on that after we're done with the extras. Sometime. Immediately.

In our look at the game's Quest Mode, we dispense some Duck-Themed justice.

That was easily the best video of the whole game. I especially loved the Double Dragon level :allears:

Terry is really just a stunt double. To a person who does their own stunts.

Some observations from that video.

1. Ducks are better than bats. Kings are above men. Therefore Duck King is greater than Batman.
2. Why is the evil path shown as someone putting another guy in a Scorpion Deathlock? Sting was a good guy (most of the time).
3. Am I the only one who finds that static image of Geese falling off the tower really funny?

Who is the worst character to pick in the extra modes?

That's a tough question, but I'd probably go with Raiden or Hwa Jai. Hwa Jai requires his Power Drink to do anything useful, and his "anything useful" is just a knee to the gut or spitting in someone's face. Compare to Tung, who goes full Hulk with his alternate mode, and has a useful basic form.

As for Raiden, he just has a basic projectile and a dropkick attack that has a delay before use.

They could have at least given him a more powerful grab.

I'm having issues with my recording setup on several fronts, and as much as I'd like to finish this thread off, I'm not physically capable at the moment. Consider it on hiatus, my apologies, I really didn't like for this to happen at the eleventh hour.

Well, good luck breaking this LP curse.

I've liked the "play as enemies" optional side content ever since they introduced it in once of the Double Dragon games.

I'm going to have to call the thread finished as is. Unfortunately the frequent technical problems and my personal issues have done a number on my motivation. This thread and all its content will be added to the beat 'em up megathread's extra section, where it will live in peace knowing that it was preserved. I will continue to update that thread, but this one has sadly come to an end.

Sorry to hear about your problems, my friend. I hope they start to improve soon.

And I know I definitely had fun in this thread. Thanks, and I will get my Guardians of the Hood LP done at some point and post it in the other thread.
