 Let's Play Fatal Fury Final Do you like SNK? Do you like Fatal Fury? Have you ever wanted to see Fatal Fury re-imagined as a beat 'em up? You better have, because it's pretty neat. Fatal Fury Final is a decent fan-made tribute with a good heart. What kind of LP is this? Video, post commentary, 100%. No, you won't be seeing every single frame of content, but you will be seeing every game mode and what it has to offer. Why should I care? 2D beat 'em ups have a long history, and they seem to swap ideas back and forth as generously as possible. Streets of Rage and Final Fight massively influenced nearly every game in the genre, but even so, it's relatively hard to find a game that encompasses all of the elements of traditional beat 'em up design. This is where Fatal Fury Final comes in. It has nearly every piece of design I've come to know and love from its ancestors, as well as copious amounts of extra features and playable characters. Who made this game? People collectively named SEEP, who appear to be deeply in love with the genre. That's enough exposition, let's wreak some vengeance. Path of Vengeance Bout One: Duck King  Side Bout: Mighty Final Fight  Bout Two: Richard Meyer  Side Bout: Mystical Fighter  Bout Three: Michael Max  Side Bout: WWF Betrayal  Bout Four: Hwa Jai  Side Bout: Final Justice  Bout Five: Raiden  Side Bout: Burning Fight  Bout Six: Billy Kane  Side Bout: Power Rangers Samurai  Final Bout: Geese Howard  Extras Quest Mode: Justice  Goits of Rage

I used to follow the BoR community a lot, as it was a fun engine, and OpenBOR added a lot of stuff. I kinda drifted away from it after I didn't have time to make the game I wanted to. Still, Roel and the Senile Team guys are all really nice people, and if you get a chance to play it, Rush Rush Rally Racing is a lot of fun. I'm still wondering if Age of the Beast will ever come out though. Also, a small note on Mighty Final Fight and the experience system. If you have full life and pick up food, it gives you a ton of XP, so it's sometimes better to pick it up before you need it.

I also wound up calling Sodom just "this samurai". Oops.

GamesAreSupernice posted:What game were you planning to make? One based on a really embarrassing story some people and I made years ago. It was so cringeworthy. I would have had to do all the artwork myself, and my artistic talent is not very good (read: is terrible). Don't worry. Capcom couldn't decide on his name either. They called him Katana at one point. Same for Thrasher, who is more commonly known as Damnd. I do like in this game how they are seemingly having the bosses join you. It's a nice touch since in the Fatal Fury storyline, most of them are all friends after kicking lumps out of each other. With the exception of Geese, Billy, Lawrence, Yamazaki, and possibly Krauser (since he was mainly more interested in just being the strongest fighter and not being some massive crime lord), everyone in the Fatal Fury universe becomes friends. Oh, and White too, but screw that Clockwork Orange scumbag.

All other bad guys survive (Billy, Krauser, Lawrence, Yamazaki, Chonshu, Chonrei, and in the case of the latter, they become good guys and go to train with Tung). Michael Max and Axel Hawk did vanish without a trace, but they were boring anyway.

I recommend you trying Sengoku 3 as one of your choices. That game is a lot of fun and a vast improvement over the first two Sengoku games. Bonus points if you do Guardians of the Hood. Actually, seriously, do Guardians of the Hood because... reasons...

Sengoku 3 is wonderful, but it deserves to be more than side-content, so until I find a way to properly showcase it, it's not going to be popping up.

GamesAreSupernice posted:Growl/Runark is probably what you're thinking of. I just looked up a vid of it and...wow. I think I developed epilepsy from that game alone. Also, the setting is all kinds of nuts. You're forest rangers in the early 20th century? You start out in a bar that gets firebombed, then immediately pick up a modern rocket launcher to use against the vaguely arab, female or newsie looking enemies. Occasionally you stop people capturing animals, and the animal helps you. The first boss has you cornered by a zoo train while your falcon helps you fight. He's a big fat man in a samurai helmet and shoulderpads, with lit dynamite strapped to his chest who throws a jalopy at you. I'm stunned.

GamesAreSupernice posted:Growl/Runark is probably what you're thinking of. Definitely sounds like Growl. It was an okay game. And true, Sengoku 3 deserves more of a spotlight on it. Instead, you could try Gaia Crusaders. It was also by Noise Factory but not as deep. Also, if you won't play Guardians of the Hood (and I really don't blame you for that decision), you could try another name with Guardians in the name: Denjin Makai II. It's surprisingly good fun.

So this game you can play as Tung Fu Ru? IE the best character from the KOF universe? I'm in. Also Terry doesn't through his hat when he completes a level.... I'm not sure how I feel about that. (also x2 Mark of the Wolves Terry is better than young Terry. fight me.)

I might do a LP of it to save you from that ethical decision. That is if I can make it through a level without it crashing. D_W posted:So this game you can play as Tung Fu Ru? IE the best character from the KOF universe? I'm in. Tung being the best character is a strong statement considering that the Fatal Fury series alone has Geese, Krauser, Yamzaki, Billy, Gato, Grant, etc. I agree about MotW Terry > regular Terry though. That was a really nicely done redesign.

I had no idea a WWF beat-'em-up that looks like River City Ransom was one of WayForward's first games. Is it always the same basic plot with your character as the hero, and the other wrestlers as the bosses? That would be kinda neat. Edit: Also someone please LP Guardians of the Hood. I've never played it, but I loved Pit-Fighter as a kid, for reasons I can't fathom.
