The Bloody Roar games on the PS1 are sooo underrated!
So damn good man
This was a dose of nostalgia injected straight in to my veins. My brother and I have a similar age difference to yours and, like you, I suffered many a beatdown on fighting games (mainly Bloody Roar, Battle Arena Toshinden (which was the first PS1 game I ever owned), Zero Divide and Psychic Force) as he tried to make me git gud. The original Battle Arena Toshinden's soundtrack is S-tier, along with Tekken 3's.
Thanks for the welcome trip down memory lane!😃
Sorry I didn't like battle arena toshinden 1 ha
@sharpdressedgoblin Oh, if I take off my nostalgia glasses, I fully accept that Gaia is cheap, the physics are a mess, half the roster are rubbish (I will have no Duke slander, though!), and the desperation OP moves are ridiculously difficult to pull off. Soundtrack is still a banger, though XD
I liked Duke and Rungo tbf and 3 is bloody great need a physical copy
I like when British man talks about games for over and hour myyyyy favoriiiiiteeeeee 😩
Love you too Canadian Jontron 😘
This is awesome man. You recreated my childhood. It’s crazy to think how fighting games were the games to play. Kinda like how popular first person shooters are now.
Now I’m 42 years old. 😅 and street fighter and tekken have never played better. Cheers mate🎉
absolute banger. insane effort on the edit - really enjoyed it!
Cheers mate, this one took me a while... really wish it did better 😬. Whole reason I'm on a Football Manager sabbatical right now ha.
thats how it goes sometimes eh. luck of the draw sometimes, just got to keep on going!@@sharpdressedgoblin
Don’t know if it has been mentioned yet BUT…you can play as a goblin riding a lizard in the fighting game Chaos Breaker…which hit the Japanese ps3 store under the name Dark Awake: The King has No Name. It has a couple monsters and creatures in the roster and you can unlock a manticore and a dragon as bosses
Whattttttttt.... gotta get on that when I return
X-Men Mutant Academy 1&2, Star Gladiator, Evil Zone, Ehregiz: God Bless the Ring, Get Ready 2 Rumble
LET'S GOOOOOOOO ✨
So freaking excited!
Thanks for all the hard work you do for us, dude. Genuinely. You're very appreciated. I can't wait to watch your channel continue to grow, you absolutely deserve it ~
Hope you enjoy it, I honestly think this might be the best video I've ever made 🙏. I put so much effort into this edit... why it took so long ha.
Cheers for the support and the kind words though mate really appreciate it 👍. Hopefully this year I can claw my way up to 10k 😤
@@sharpdressedgoblin I have no doubt you'll get there!! I share your videos all the time & add them to my public video essay playlists. It's not much, but I try lol.
It was definitely your best work, it was incredible. I'll be watching it again tomorrow!! Thanks dude :))
I hope so gonna be a lot more hard work but I'll get there 😤. That's awesome everything helps.
Excellent glad you enjoyed it makes all the hard work feel worth it 😊
goblin is back fellas 🗣️❗️
Fantastic video, I also had an older brother who got me into Fighting Games so it's wild seeing how similar a lot of the games we grew up on were, all that's missing from my collection were Ergeiz and Evil Zone!
Was so close to putting ehrgeiz in but thought I'd have the one squaresoft Fighter definitely in the sequel vid. And I'll add evil zone on the list not played that one.
@@sharpdressedgoblin You really should keep an eye on Evil Zone! It's quite unique and undeservedly forgotten. To start off: Every character has a uniquely told narrative which is narrated by themselves, thus you have 10 different narratives being told, sometimes not even taking themselves overly seriously. The VA for every character is quite solid and definitly on the higher end for the PS1 era. Alot of special moves have different camera angles so that they don't repeat themselves too often, and also some special moves, once repeated, get shortened in the fight: If a special move would take around say 5-7 seconds to be performed the first time it gets shortened the second time to say 3 seconds. Every character has one if not two alternate outfits to unlock, every character can become the announcer (tho that one takes a while to unlock depending on the character, as they have to be played from say 30 to 70 times, with played I mean having done battles, so one story playthrough of like 10 fights makes that quickly unlocked comparatively), every move, entity or place in this game's universe has a lore entry which could have been used for an RPG I'd say AND the game has one of the most satisfying and quite unique even 100% unlocks where the VA basically has a talk with you about something that sadly seemed to be only going on in the japanese scene. There's also quite some hinting about a sequel but the game, assumingly, didn't sell too well for that OR Yuke's just wanted to get into their WWE type games and luckily Evil Zone is not like that controlwise, but.. it's unique about that too, like it could be controversial but I find it refreshing also because it makes learning a character breezy that way.
Oh and the PAL and JP version has the original age listing and clothes for the characters mentioned ingame and in the manual. Just the japanese opening track, Kiss in the Dark, has been replaced with a really shitty non fitting to the visuals nor its timing music track, Lie Rainwell during his story mode has a different music track playing whyever and I think that's all in terms of differences.
Do take your time with this game, you will NOT regret it to play through the campaign of each character, including the final boss. It also has some darker themes going on at times, so keep that in mind.
I just really loved Kensei Sacred Fist
Oh yeah forgot about that one played that for a video I did on another channel ages ago. I'll have to add that one to the list for the next video.
Can’t wait to see Fighting Games I’ve never heard of!
Thanks for your hard work!
Great job bro, personally n3ver been the biggest fan of any fighting games besides smash and the aforementioned Battle Arena Toshinden 2 but i really enjoyed this.
Destrega.... How the... That's... That's spot on. I got it in a demo disc, never owned the full game, can never remember the name, the fighting system is exactly why I remember it...
Fantastic list. Props for remembering that Bloody Roar exists. I was waiting for the Jojo`s Bizarre Adventure fighting game on the PS1 tho, but with how huge that library is, I get it. Great video, goblin!
Could of easily been a 3 hour vid might have finally lost it completely if it was that long 😂. I'll put it on the list for a sequel vid if this vid ever takes off ha.
@@sharpdressedgoblin I really hope it does then. Like you said, there are a lot of PS1 classics to cover. Keep up the great work!
I loved this video. You proper crack me up, Goblin! Absolute quality!
Cheers man glad you enjoyed it... this video was a lot of work ha
Why did I not get notified this dropped ...ah well great work as always jake
RUclips hates me 😂. Also might be cause I don't upload often so it thinks people aren't interested in the channel maybe
Jake is back! Also I forgot Gorbachev was in SF2 hahaha
So did I made me laugh for ages when i saw that ending 😂
Man, bloody roar, now that is a memorable idea
So much so i still remember Every time i playd it.
At the time me, my little brother, friend and ocusing go to Nit's how
And adult guy with 4 ps, where got a room set up for the kids to play and rented the other 2
Yes, we did go to a shady guy's house to rent and play playstation games for hours.
And let me tell you, played most of the game here and the ps2 version, but always remember bloody roar and another one, a beat them up 3D, where we usually playd a thin guy and a massive dude, where you fight the MiB, smash soda mashines and throw your enemies around.
Thats a Chonk of a Video! Will have to work through it the next days!
Thanks, your entertainment is always great!
No problem hope you enjoy it 🙏. I do the same thing with long vids watch em with food for a few days ha.
Wow! I definitely want a video sequel now!
The PS1 era was hard on us Dragon Ball fans. We only got 3 Japan only titles and two of those are mentioned in this vid. There was a popular cheat in Final Bout where you can immediately unlock Goku's Super Saiyan 4 form. That was all that I can remember since most of the roster were blond dudes! It badly needed variety for sure.
OF COURSE!!!!
There's that boy
Battle arena was dope!
So many wrestling cut aways i feel like a kid in a candy store
There's a Wrestling cut away for everything I swear
@@sharpdressedgoblin oooooooo yeahh
Ah yes my favorite small dinosaur from a manga I like *Gon.*
Gon is based
@@sharpdressedgoblin That it is (So much so that 0 dialogue exists within the chapters of all 7 volumes of it)
@@Denneth_D. I need to track it down one of these days physically
@@sharpdressedgoblin I’ve read it digitally Thru manga sites but having physical copies would be nice (if I had the space for manga in the first place…)
Tekken 3 is the only one I played directly (via emulation on an arcade style machine at my college, but still), and it was quite the blast. Mainly played Anna (I like the slap move), Lei, and Yoshimitsu (I beaten the arcade mode with the last 2). I'm mainly into fighting games for the desings even if I do like the gameplay too..
The only good grace of GT Final Bout is the ost (mainly the Intro theme).
For part 2 I propose:
-The Original Guilty Gear (even if it's available legally on modern systems, it still counts)
-Other Kronos (the people who made Cardinal Syn) games for a laugh like Criticom
-The Unholy War/ Little Witch Mischief (even if they're more strategy games who happen to have arena duels like Destrega)
I do love Guilty Gear definitely gonna go in there and I'll check the other ones out 👍
Honestly, I'm just surprised that this is one of the rare instances where a PS1 fighting game retrospective somehow didn't mention the first Guilty Gear title. To be fair, it was a fairly late release from 1998 and it's possible some territories didn't even receive it until later on along with later entries in the series. Still, if you did do a sequel to this, a shout-out to Guilty Gear: The Missing Link and Ergheiz would be neat to include.
Was saving it for the sequel vid... which probably will never happen ha. Love the first guilty gear had it back in the day when it got a budget re release banger
Nice video, though I was expecting Primal rage.
Definitely one for the sequel vid... if I do it ha
I have the manual for shoul edge and mk4 but no game
I wonder if Battle Arena Toshinden 2 is gonna be in here?
Litterally the secomd gane you cover haha, i have memories of playinh that with my family im glad you eventually enjoyed yhe series.
This video made me realize were arounthe same age 😂
Fun fact if you play a number of vs battles, i think 50 or something you unlcok doctor b in tekken 3
What about 'Evil Zone'?
As of the time of this comment, Keith Richards has told Death to fuck off.
This comment will be edited when he does pass on.
I don't think it's just you, the further back you go with any Fighting Game AI the worse it gets, just unadulterated cheating
Yeah that's true I remember my friend telling me about a certain port of Mortal Kombat 2 where the ai was borderline impossible. Think it was input reading to a ludicrous degree or something.
I haven't watched the full video yet, but when I scrub over it, all I see is memes. Memes everywhere.
I would honeslty recommend you to reduce that to a minimum so we could enjoy more the games themselves without being interrupted by something irrelevant.
It's an acquired taste
Can’t wait to see Fighting Games I’ve never heard of!
Thanks for your hard work!
No problem hope you enjoy it definitely my best vid 🙏
