The latest news

(http://segabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/dfc_01_cs1w1_720x-600x337.jpg)

Sega has released two fighting games this year (2014), first is Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax (I've pre-ordered the vita version, thanks God it's not region locked), and second is this.

(http://segabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/bladea011-600x337.jpg)

These two somehow make me missed playing Eternal Champion on Genesis and Golden Axe The Duel on Saturn.

On topic, anyone know whether this one will get console (or handheld) version? Not just arcade?

Sega hasn't released any SHINING FORCE arcade games..actually many arcade games on console in general. There are some here waiting for a BORDERBREAK port...and that hasn't appeared ..so don't hold you're breath..

Also don't let SOJ hear you mention ETERNAL CHAMPIONS as a comparison..or they'll never release it and come up with an excuse that it will interfere with the latest VIRTUA FIGHTER game...

Hahaha, yeah, I remember about that Eternal Champions/Virtua Fighters thing back then. Sega of Japan seems to deem that the game never existed, no wonders there is no EC chars for Sega All Star Racing/Tennis, no 3D Classic version, no mobile version, etc. *sigh*

It goes back to the self destruction and petty jealousy of SOJ. ETERNAL CHAMPIONS sold 2 million on the MD. And that was the reason they were against the game when it was being developed for Saturn before it got canned. That was the reason why a lot of Sega of america Ips and games that was associated with the MD or Sega of america including Sonic didn't get a game or were treated like crap on the saturn because the SOJ managenmnet wanted to prove they could launch a succesful sega console themselves worldwide. With just their properties without no american co operation like SONIC for example.  And we all know what happened with that ...

No Mariano it won't. None of the modern arcade games from Sega has made it to console..and none of the SHINING FORCE arcade games have either. So i doubt that this will have a port..although it could happen...you can't be sure..and there's a very large pattern that arcade titles from Sega never make it to console especially now with their mobile phone focus..

I played Street Fighter 2 SCE almost every day back then on my Mega Drive / Genesis.
Love SF2 so much, but can't say the same about SF1. SF1's control is so weird.

Champion Boxing is the first game coded by Yu Suzuki in his first year at SEGA.

The Last Boss: Red Eye

(http://segabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Red-Eye-600x286.jpg)

Quote
No matter who you choose though, Red Eye can be a colossal pain in the proverbial to gain a win over, and unlike his Virtua Fighter equivalent, Dural, you NEED to beat Red-Eye if you want to get to the end of the game.
He fights using a mix of traditional tonfa (a tonfa is kind of like a night-stick, only not wielded by police officers and with a less cool name) and martial arts based attacks, along with some bat-shit insane stuff where he just throws himself at you while spinning through the air and laughing like a lunatic.

Fighters Megamix is a video game crossover of various 3D arcade blockbusters by Sega, from the complete cast of Virtua Fighter 2 and Fighting Vipers to Janet from Virtua Cop 2 and the Hornet car from Daytona USA.
George and Barry discuss the game’s development, how it compares to other AM2 fighters of the time and the many crazy hidden characters featured in the game.

Anarchy Reigns (Xbox 360)
Return of Fan Favorite Characters


(http://segabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/segabits-anarchy-reigns-ai-rin.jpg)

Quote
Anarchy Reigns is a title that I can recommend mainly to the biggest fans of Platinum Games.
It’s definitely possible to get a lot out of this game, especially its multiplayer mode; I just wish its release was handled better so that we could have had more people online to play against.
A more fleshed out single player would have helped to remedy this, but that simply isn’t the case.

Trivia : Top Secret United States Tech Used for Virtua Fighter 2
The SEGA Five: Virtua Fighter Facts


(http://segabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/VF2-750x414.jpg)

Quote
Motion capture and texture mapping isn’t really a big deal now-a-days considering most medium size studios have the ability to afford it.
Looking at Virtua Fighter, it was evident that it was missing texture mapping, but seeing as it was the first 3D fighting game it was easy to dismiss.
Yu Suzuki had to go out and find the technology to effectively help create the successor to the Model 1 arcade board, the Model 2.
This board would go on to power hits like Virtua Cop, Virtua Fighter 2 and Daytona USA.

How SEGA-AM2 changed video gaming : Pioneered 3D Gaming

(http://segabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/SBGCN-Model-2-Collection-481x600.png)

Quote
Once the 90’s came around, AM2 hit full force developing their model 1 arcade board in 1992.
It was the first arcade board that could run 3D games at 60fps with multiple players on the screen.
The first game that AM2 created with the new board was Virtua Racing.
Even though the game broke new ground at the time it wasn’t the first 3D racing game release.
That would go to Namco’s Winning Run in 1988.
Next AM2 would take on the fighting genre with Virtua Fighter, showing the power of their Model 1 arcade board by rendering human characters with full facial animation.
This game laid the groundwork for later 3D fighters including Tekken and Dead or Alive.

Quote
Larcen is my favorite character. I love his time period, fighting style, and look.
Most people assume that Shadow is my favorite female character as she is the most popular for sure, but when I play I love Jetta.
I was always a Chun Li player in SF, Jetta has that speed and air attacks that I really love.

SAVAGE HEROES
A Cancelled Sega Genesis SFII Style Fighting Game


(https://i.ibb.co/ZJFswvK/Savage-Heroes.jpg)

Quote
There was a lot of enthusiasm for the game internally, but we ran into several issues that lead to the game’s demise.
1) It was a very ambitious idea that really should have been on a more powerful platform,
2) the developer we used for the prototype just wasn’t very good.
When the prototype wasn’t very good, enthusiasm started to fade

There are five empty slots in the voice files, but there are only four DLC character slots left.
In other words, it suggests one of these characters will take up two voice files, which in turn hints at the character having a gender alt or possibly a side-kick.

"Sega of Japan felt that Eternal Champions was keeping Virtua Fighter from being more successful in the US and that it would be better if the company focused on only one franchise…and as Sega is a Japanese company, the Japan side won.
Even when we did the NetFighter project for Heat.net, we weren’t able to use the Eternal characters as a hidden bonus.
From Japan’s view the game never existed, in spite of its stellar sales and even offers to do comic books and a cartoon around it."

Wii is an amazing platform but asking us to choose a favorite is like asking a parent to choose a favorite child. (laughs)
We decided to release Tournament of Legends on the Wii for two reasons:
first, the gameplay was designed specifically for the platform and second, building on our Quantum3 technology, we were able to take advantage of all of the bells and whistles that we used in The Conduit right from the start.

SEGA has basically, mostly, sold off its Arcade arcade business to GENDA, a company founded in 2018 to operate arcade rentals, online crane games.
I know its mostly a Japanese thing, but SEGA’s arcade business has been part of its history almost since the start and having them sell off 85% of the shares on the companies 60th Anniversary is a bit bitter.

I think SEGA pulling 85% out of a business like Amusement Centers is a good thing, while they profited for awhile, that profit had been up and down. Never stable and it continued to shrink.
SEGA pushing more developers and workers into making software titles, especially since they are on the rise in sales and due to COVID-19 a lot more people are playing video games at home; it makes sense to adapt.

Power Instinct / Goketsuji Series
Atlus' Best and Craziest Fighting Game Franchise


(https://thumbs.gfycat.com/ShorttermComposedEarthworm-small.gif)

Quote
For the most part Power Instinct strayed little from the proven Street Fighter II formula but managed to introduce some genuine charm into the fold (the final boss / old lady’s slightly younger sister Octane is a playable character and one of her attacks involves throwing her dentures at opponents).
It sounds zany and silly on paper but the play experience is surprisingly solid.
Power Instinct has become a staple franchise in Japan where it spans 6 games, novels, soundtracks, calendars etc.

Apparently, Sonic The Fighters was conceptualized thanks to a bored character designer known as Masahiro Sugiyama.
Seemingly for fun, he added Sonic and Tails to the arcade title, "Fighting Vipers."
Upon seeing this, Yu Suzuki was given the idea to pitch a 3D Sonic fighting game.
While it was initially believed that Yuji Naka wouldn't approve of the idea of Sonic characters beating one another up, he ended up actually encouraging the idea.

Virtua Fighter for the Sega Saturn was released on this day in Japan, 26 years ago (1994).
Virtua Fighter almost single-handedly sold the Saturn in Japan, but by the time it reached the West the port’s glitches and outdated graphics allowed the comparatively shallow Battle Arena Toshinden by Tamsoft to be built up as Sony’s Saturn killer for 1995.

Sega CEO Haruki Satomi described Virtua Fighter X Esports as “a project commemorating the 60th year anniversary of [Sega],” starting “first” in Japan.
Asked if the project would involve a new Virtua Fighter game, the CEO joked that he had run out of time and that more information would be revealed in the future.
However, in its latest financial results, Sega has provided a clearer description of the project, which it confirms is a game “restart” focussed on competitive play.

I just discovered "Toy Fighter" exists today and im already in love with it. It's like a spiritual sequel to Fighters Destiny on the N64. Another great and unique fighter.

I can't find any real information about move lists or FAQs on the games mechanics ANYWHERE. It seems the games super obscure or not really cared about which makes no sense because it's clearly a great game. Maybe it's the cutsey kiddish theme that turns people away?

If any of you know of somewhere that has a full list of moves for this game or something that would be amazing. It's very cryptic not knowing anything other than a small flyer with just a few moves on Google images.

No special peripherals. It just uses your bog standard fighting game controls. Stick, punch/kick/block. It would plug into any standard Naomi cabinet.


It maybe was just overshadowed by the massive fighting games of the time like Dead or Alive and Soul Caliber.


Also, that link you shared brought me to scans of an old Japanese gaming magazine issues which has FULL move lists for all the characters! Exactly what I was looking for! Amazing, Thank you so much!

I see. Guess it doesn't really stand out.
As for me, the character design is just too generic
(only the red dragon was the one who looks cool).
If I had to pick this game or DoA/SC based on the look, the answer is definitely the later.

Anyway, glad to know that you found what you're looking for.  :-D

Definitely Street Fighter.  :-D

Street Fighter II was so big in my arcade center, and it was the reason I choose SEGA Mega Drive 2 over Super Famicom back then.
(because of its six buttons controller layout, other reasons : Golden Axe, Moonwalker).

Here is my collection of the franchise

Street Fighter.
I don't like Mortal Kombat because of its overdose on violence.
The 16 bits Mortal Kombat were all right since the violence wasn't realistic enough, but the recent ones made me want to vomit.
No wonder the franchise never made to Japan again.
Tekken is okay, but too lazy to remember all the combos. Street Fighter's combos are easier to remember.

If Sega ever decides to make a Sega All-Stars fighting game, I hope they make it a direct sequel to Fighters Megamix and not knock-off Super Smash Bros.
Though that'll be the day Virtua Fighter actually has a fleshed out story mode for a change to compete with Tekken or DoA in lore-building.

Yeah. Virtua Fighter is the pioneer of 3D Fighting Games, the franchise should be kept alive like Sonic and Yakuza.
I hope Virtua Fighter x eSport become success enough to revive the franchise again.
I think the one thing Virtua Fighter series needs is a proper Story Mode. As far as I'm aware Virtua Fighter games (as well as Fighting Vipers) don't have a story mode. They have a story but it's the mostly the "Fighting tournament" trope which feels more like an excuse than a reason in fighting games.

Virtua Fighters does have more to it's story, like the J6 (https://virtuafighter.fandom.com/wiki/Judgement_6) organization collecting data and roboticizing mothers to creat Dural (https://virtuafighter.fandom.com/wiki/Dural). But given Virtua Fighter doesn't have a Story Mode to further expand on it, not many know of D6 or the whole point of the tournament. I mean, sure these games were made for the Arcade, most of Sega's arcade games lack story. But there is no harm expanding on it for console release.

Games like Tekken and Dead or Alive, they have Story Modes in their games and spin-off movies and animations based on these Story Modes. Because of this players can relate more to the fighters they choose and be more engaged in the lore around Tekken. As for SoulCalibur I dunno much about it's media but it too has a story which explains the lore around the Soul Edge and it's ongoing history and story.
Virtua Fighter... a bunch of muscle-dudes show up to fight in a tourney.

Agree about story mode.
And funnily enough, Game Gear / Master System has a story mode.
If they can do it for its 8 Bit version, why not in the modern version.

I don't know if the Game Gear version counts though given it was based on the anime (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtua_Fighter_(TV_series)) than directly on the games. The anime portrait characters rather differently than the games so I can't really regard the anime "canon" to the games, no more than I regard AoSTH or SatAM canon to Sonic games.


For example in the original Virtua Fighter games, Akira Yuki is suppose to be this serious, no-nonsense martial arts master who take his training very seriously. While he is friends with other fighters (at least, I presume they're friends. Sega All-Stars Racing is the only hint I have that Yuki and Jacky are at least friends.)

In the anime, while Akira Yuki is a travelling martial artist, he's somewhat of a goof. His personality reminds me a bit of Goku from DragonBall Z. The sort who does take his training seriously but will eat a lot of food but still a powerful fighter despite not behaving like one.

I know it's not canon.
What I meant is the story mode, if they can do it for its 8 Bit version, why not in the modern version.
It doesn't have to be cinematic story like Marvel vs Capcom Infinite or Street Fighter V.
Just a pic of character (with different emotion of course) and background, completed with text and voice acting.
Blazblue, Project X Zone 1-2, DBFC, and Idola Phantasy Star Saga could have interesting story mode with just those.

I myself have story ideas for Fighting Vipers. That is if I ever make a fan remake of it. Unity is a hassle.

I wish I can make a Fighting VIpers fan game. I have a story and vision in mind.
I would make the game look like it belongs in an 80s movie, A Miami urbanpunk-genre movie. Even go as far as a VHS-filter over the games camera.
The story in mind is while the fighting tournament is a government event forwarded by the mayor of Armstone city, it is actually a front to peddle a new drug called "kobra". The drug is called that because it uses a cocktail of snake venom and steroids and is delivered in a double-needle syringe. When administered it gives the user a rush of addrenelin and strength allowing them to be more efficient fighters, even if it's temporarily.The fighters are divided into two sides of the tournament. the Kobras who want to use the drug to win and the Vipers who wish to parttake in the tournament for their own reasons without the need of drugs.

That is a cool story concept.
And Kobra is also a fitting name to the snake based game title.
But if there are two sides of the tournament, wouldn't it make they can't fight their own group?

Well, in most fighting games you can pit friend against friend. And sometimes in stories one guy encounters another, don't like the cut of their jib, fight it out and become friends afterwards so there's that.

Kobra users in mind are Jane (https://www.fightersgeneration.com/characters2/jane.html) who is perhaps strong without the drug, but took it anyway during her application for the Marines and was disgraced for it. Raxel (https://www.fightersgeneration.com/characters3/raxel.html) who is a wannabe punk rockstar. And as we all know, or more "who knows", what they put in themselves on a weekly basis. Tokio (https://www.fightersgeneration.com/characters4/tokio.html) is perhaps a "maybe". He left his family of Kabuki actors to join a criminal gang and eventually became the leader, so being crime and all drugs maybe involved. Mahler (https://www.fightersgeneration.com/characters2/mahler.html), who is the one who created the drug and is using the tournament as a front to peddle it. Charlie (https://www.fightersgeneration.com/characters/charlie-fv.html) is a maybe who perhaps mostly uses it to enhance his BMX skills, and takes up fighting in the tournament to proove his skills.

Tokio and Charlie are the sorts I can imagine eventually switching sides. Tokio was leader of the criminal gang Black Thunder but quit when one of the members died, so maybe he has some morality over what he's doing as a criminal and may not like what kobra is doing for others. Charlie has a rivalry with Picky, I dunno how aggressive that rivalry is. But he was raised by his sister at the church so either he will realise taking kobra is wrong, or maybe he'll never do that stuff to begin with.


Probably other fighters that can be on the Kobras but I don't know which ones. But I figure can be an equal number of Kobras and Vipers.

That's interesting story idea.
I though I kinda think that this story is more fit in other SEGA game, Last Bronx, where it shows more 'crime and gang warfare' theme.
Also I think Mahler is more interesting villain to explore than Tokio though, Tokio's kind remind me of Streets of Rage's Shiva.

I pressume Last Bronx takes place in the borough of New York City. I'm not familiar with Last Bronx lore nor have I ever set foot in America to comprehend how big New York is. I know Fighting Vipers take place in the fictional metropolis of Armstrong City and that this tournament was permitted by the mayor. I can't help but imagine Armstrong City mayor looking like Mayor Mike Haggar (https://streetfighter.fandom.com/wiki/Mike_Haggar).

My story idea is for Fighting Vipers in mind purely because the original games didn't have a story and just a backstory/excuse of a fighting tournament to go by. Plus 60s-80s American urbanpunk movies were in mind for the story.
Such as Miami Vice (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miami_Vice), The Warriors (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Warriors_(film)), Cyborg (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyborg_(film)), Double Dragon (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_Dragon_(film)) film or practically any movie starring Kurt Russell (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurt_Russell). My main inspiration being the YouTube film Kung Fury which is a homage to all those movies. (YouTube Kung Fury sometime, it's awesome!)


A "Story Mode" for a modern fighting game can do wonders for it.

Last Bronx took place in alternate version of Tokyo.
But since it's an alternate universe, there could be Armstrong City too there.

Yeah, I've watched Kung Fury. Cringe but it's entertaining.

I never played Xenoblade so when I first saw that video I thought "Someone should tell that lady her hair is on fire."

As for Dr. Eggman in Smash Bros, I would like to see that. I can imagine him taking the stage in the EGG-HVC-001 (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/EGG-HVC-001) and has a quick-switch ability to allow him to change into diffrent mechs needed for his moveset. Like maybe the Egg Mobile-D (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Egg_Mobile-D) used in similar way Wario's bike is used.

I can't really imagine Dr. Eggman joining Smash bare-knuckle like Sonic. I imagine like Bowser Jr. and the Koopalings he will be reliant on his vehicle than himself.
I would also hope it be a two-for-one release. Dr. Eggman as a newcomer original fighter and Metal Sonic as an echo to Sonic.

Now that you said it, it's true.
Bowser Jr should be Bowser's son, yet he's using a vehicle that resemble Eggman's.

Eternal Champion was Released on JP Mega Drive 27 Years Ago Today!!!

(https://i.gifer.com/FcJg.gif)

Quote
Sega of America took great pride in Eternal Champions, with the game selling very well in Western territories and being re-released under the Mega Hit Series, Classic Mega Drive and Sega Platinum Collection ranges, amongst much spin-off merchandise.
However, the game was never fully adopted by Sega of Japan, who preferred to concentrate efforts on the Virtua Fighter series (and later products such as Fighting Vipers and Last Bronx).
As such, Eternal Champions was sidelined after Sega's US operations were downsized during the late-1990s and is unlikely to make a return in the foreseeable future.

I like to believe that Sakurai regards Smash Bros. games as an "ecosystem" and that his choice of characters and movesets for each character is to not upset that ecosystem by having characters too powerful or weak, make other characters too powerful or weak, how the pick-up items work etc. That said probably the reason why Bowser Jr. is in the clown car and not fighting like his dad is probably because with the clown car he has a moveset that best fits him in the Smash Bros. ecosystem. Not only that but it allows the Koopalings to be echo fighters on behalf of Bowser Jr.

Dr. Eggman for Smash Bros.
That said I'm not saying that Dr. Eggman's default vehicle should be the Egg-mobile while fighting and move around like Bowser Jr., my suggestion is the EGG-HVC-001 (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/EGG-HVC-001) be his default combat mech. The EGG-HVC-001 could be modified to be more agile and throw standard punches and kicks. Think of it like the E-Mech (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/E-Mech) but it's likely most are more familiar with the HVC than the E-Mech. The HVC can also come in a variety of colours such as default red, Good Future purple... those are the only ones I can think of.

I also suggest that Dr. Eggman will have a "quick switch" ability to be able to switch to various mechs from past games to best fit a moveset that can fit in the Smash Bros. ecosystem.
For example, I can imagine the Eggmobile-D (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Egg_Mobile-D) be used as a side-special where Eggman drives along the stage terrain, has a launchable drill and once 18HP of damage is sustain will break apart and revert back to the HVC.
While the HVC could probably perform regular jumps, Eggman could perhaps have limited flight which would temporarily disable the HVC for default Eggmobile. And while up above can perhaps use Fire dropper (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Marble_Zone_boss) and/or the Spike dropper (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Star_Light_Zone_boss) for aerial moves, where Eggman can drop hazards down to the stage. Fireballs will create a small area of fire damage or the spike balls be regarded as hazardous objects, perhaps with physics.
As for standard aerial attacks, I don't really know. Maybe the use of Hammer (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Tonkachi_Eggman), Big Arm (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Big_Arm) or Egg Hornet (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Egg_Hornet) for standard aerial combat.

As for Final Smash... Wrecking ball (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Egg_Mobile-H)! The ball will automatically swing but the player can move Eggman left and right to apply more momentum to the pendulum.

Just saying Dr. Eggman would have a more versitile moveset for Smash Bros. if he brings his tech along.

Metal Sonic for Smash Bros.
This is more easy. Simply an echo fighter for Sonic the Hedgehog. Super Sonic can simply be replaced with the V. Maximum Overdrive Attack (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/V._Maximum_Overdrive_Attack) but still functions the same way. Metal Sonic may have different run animations due to him mostly using his jet than legs to move about but introducing Metal Sonic along with Dr. Eggman would keep in theme with him.

That was back then when Tecmo was still using SEGA's hardware (Model 2 and Naomi) for DOA 1-2.
After the merger of Koei and Tecmo, Dead or Alive franchise is belong Koei Tecmo Holdings Co., Ltd.
Still it's nice to SEGA lent them Akira, Pai, and Sarah for DOA5.

Whether their plans involve some sort of revival of VF5 or a brand new entry in the storied series remains to be seen though other parts of the marketing machine seem to be gearing up for some activity as well.
Interestingly, the official Virtua Fighter Japanese Twitter account posted its first official tweet in over four years as a New Year's message and pretty much telling fans to look forward to more news here in 2021.

Post by: Colter9854 on March 05, 2021, 06:32:26 pm
The previous answers cover most of the popular fighting games of today, but let me give you a more personalized answer.As you used to enjoy Street Fighter 2 and Tekken (I assume Tekken 1,2,3), you can try out the latest crossover game called "Street Fighter X Tekken". However, that game follows mechanics derived from Street Fighter IV, which is again somewhat similar to Street Fighter 2.Street Fighter 3 and the Alpha games took SF gameplay to different levels, but SF IV tried to go back to the roots. So you will find yourself at home with Ultra Street FIghter IV, too. It is one of the most balanced fighting game out in the market, and the game is in its final version after a number of updates in the form of SF IV, SSFIV, SF IV AE and fiinally, USF IV.These two games are available for PC, so if you own a decent gamepad and no console, you can go for it. An Xbox360 gamepad should suffice, as it is a very good gaming device for anyone who just wants to enjoy their game without bothering too much about serious competitive gaming.As for Xbox360 and PS3, there'd be hardly any difference in performance if you have a good internet connection.If you just want to enjoy raw Tekken mechanics, you can go for Tekken 6, which is a solid and robust Tekken game. It has most of the old favorites like Jin, Hworang, Paul as well as interesting, new brawlers, However, you can also wait for Tekken 7 which should be released sometime this year, or you can wait for the "Tekken X Street Fighter", which will be a new crossover game (Not to confuse with SF X Tekken) where Tekken mechanics will be used. This game comes out in 2013, so it'll be a long wait.If you want a simpler fighting game to start off with, you can go for Ultimate Marvel VS Capcom 3. This game is easy to learn, and even the beginner player can pull off ridiculously damaging combos. This game is a sequel to MVC2, which was very popular back in the days of Sega Dreamcast console. It's a crossover of marvel characters (X-Men, Spiderman, Iron Man, etc.) and Capcom characters (Street Fighter cast, final fight, captain america, etc.)As for Mortal Kombat goes, the latest game in the series (simply called Mortal Kombat or MK 9) is brilliant; the campaign will take you through a re-telling of the events that took place before the first game in the series. The campaign itself justifies playing this game, and the multiplayer action is also a blast (both offline and online)I really won't recommend the latest King of Fighter games as they are absolutely rubbish, and any other fighting game series won't be worth your time, except maybe the latest Soul Caliber game.Kof XIII is quite decent, though. Still not as great as the older games, but worth playing if you loved the past games or are interested to get in to the series.As you will be returning to fighting games after a long time, the most striking difference you will find is more reliance on damaging combos instead of poking styled fighting.Nothing beats the arcades, but today's online match ups aren't bad either.Happy gaming

Thank you for your sharing. Street Fighter IV is definitely my favorite of all Street Fighter.In fact, I bought 3DS close to the launch day because of Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition, I just loved that game so much.(And I bought PS Vita  close to the launch day because of Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3)
I haven't try much Ultra SF IV because it wasn't on handheld.
I had it on PC, but too lazy to play them because I prefer handheld over PC or TV Console.

In terms of Switch-related questions, the same one from last year about possible ports is arguably the highlight.
The only difference is it's no longer a Switch-only question.

Puyo Puyo eSport's title was changed into Puyo Puyo Champions in the west.
Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown's probably international / western title for Virtua Fighter eSports.

Rumour: Smash Ultimate Fans Think Fighters Pass Vol. 2 Might Get A Bonus Seventh Character

(https://thumbs.gfycat.com/AromaticAppropriateInexpectatumpleco-size_restricted.gif)

Quote
A Reddit user going by the name of RiuBert has theorised that the game's second batch of DLC, the 'Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Fighters Pass Vol. 2', could well be getting a bonus seventh character on top of the six slots that have already been promised.
Immediate, over-excited thoughts jump to a potential seventh fighter, which could well be true, although it could also relate to an echo fighter, another bonus costume, or something else entirely.

SEGA of America Producer and Designer Michael Latham, best known for Eternal Champions, passes away

(https://i.ibb.co/Gth3NBv/Michael-Latham-Segabits.jpg)

Quote
During 1994 SEGA America would restructure its development teams which resulted in ‘Omega Group’ to lose its Director at the time, Scott Berfield, which was filled by Michael Lathan.
He was then producing titles like Home Alone, Greendog: The Beached Surfer Dude! and his most popular title Eternal Champions.

Hard not to start the list with Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown, especially since its the last big release of a original IP by SEGA-AM2 studios (Hatsune Miku isn’t a SEGA owned IP).
I will say that your PlayStation 3 fighting game collection can’t be complete without Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown.

That's kind of like saying that there should be a sequel to Primal Rage or that Final Fantasy Games should have a one on one fighting mode option. All nice ideas, but it's cheaper and safer for gaming companies to not go those routes.

Sega Still Has No Concrete Plans For Virtua Fighter 6

(https://sega.jp/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/vf-esports_29.jpg)

Quote
An interview with chief producer Seiji Aoki from Sega :
“Nothing has been decided yet regarding Virtua Fighter 6, so I cannot make any statement. But if you ask me whether I want to create it or not, I do want to create it.”
“This title (Ultimate Showdown) will let us know whether there are demands and potentials for Virtua Fighter. We want to hype it up so it can connect to the next one.”

Tekken Director Challenges Virtua Fighter Team To Make Another Game

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPX6woqXPdM

Quote
It’s clear Harada took his self-imposed rivalry to heart.
But when Sega stopped releasing new Virtua Fighter games after 2007’s Virtua Fighter 5, he felt he had no one else in the 3D fighting game space to compete against.
Watching high-profile Virtua Fighter competitors—now without a new game to move on to—migrate to Tekken gave him an “indescribable feeling” of disappointment.

Tweek reveals 11.0.1 Super Smash Bros. Ultimate tier list, Sephiroth and Sonic in S-tier

(https://i.ibb.co/6sTM4WT/Eventhubs-SSB-Ultimate-Tier-List.jpg)

Quote
Tweek also moved Sonic up to S-tier.
The blue hedgehog is often placed in B-tier, but the Wolf and Pokemon Trainer player said on his podcast that Sonic has the "best win condition in the game."
Tweek explained that once Sonic has the lead on an opponent, Sonic players can simply just run around and hold onto the win since most opponents can't chase him down.

That's kind of like saying that there should be a sequel to Primal Rage or that Final Fantasy Games should have a one on one fighting mode option. All nice ideas, but it's cheaper and safer for gaming companies to not go those routes.
It might be too late for VF5 to have that story mode, but hopefully VF6 could have one.

Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown: How to master your fighting style

(https://sega.jp/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/vf-esports_13.jpg)

Quote
Understanding how frames work will help you intuitively perform the right attack or counter in any given situation.
It’s a challenging system to master, so when you’re first starting out, it’s best just to keep in mind that “if your attack is blocked, immediately defend” and “if you block, immediately go on the offensive.”

Sega of America repeatedly asked Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown's developers to use rollback netcode but was deemed not feasible

(https://sega.jp/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/vf-esports_20.jpg)

Quote
"Basically, the game uses P2P netplay, and rollback was not included at this time," said Aoki via 4Gamer.
 "Sega of America repeatedly said to us though 'Put in rollback anyway!'" (4Gamer noted that last part was said with a bitter smile)
They (mostly Harada) explain how retrofitting rollback into 3D fighting games in particular is tough due to the fact that they're presupposed on fluid, smooth animations as opposed to the limited keyed animations of 2D games, which makes the frame-skipping more conspicuous

This opportunity though would also provide the team members perhaps their biggest challenge: only having a year to make it happen.

Covid Is Pulling the Plug on Beloved Japanese Arcades

(https://sega.jp/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/210531_2_19.jpg)

Quote
Once home to vibrant live competitions, gaming centers have been bleeding out since before the pandemic. Lockdowns could leave them KO'd for good.
“The saddest thing about arcades shutting down is that once they’re gone, they’re gone.”
This is according to Andrew Fidelis, an American expat who relocated to Japan after college and an event organizer and streamer.

It's sad because I never got to visit a proper arcade ever.

In UK, Arcades are mostly like this (https://c7.alamy.com/comp/A7GBT2/amusement-arcade-interior-with-slot-machines-uk-A7GBT2.jpg). Mostly gambling machines, pushers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medal_game), maybe an air hockey board or some amusement carnival games. And maybe a ten year old arcade game hidden at the back of the arcade where no one will notice it.
I never got to play Virtua Fighter, House of the Dead or Sonic the Fighters in an arcade.

Guess it's really different in Asia.
Virtua Fighter and House of the Dead were almost everywhere back then.
Sonic the Fighters was quite rare though.

But time has changing a lot. Air hockey board and those amusement carnival games are indeed really becoming majority now.
Still thankfully there were always arcade games from SEGA or BandaiNamco accompany them.
Gambling is prohibited in my country so arcade center was a place that's safe for kids to play here

In UK arcades are pretty much like the poor mans casinos. Almost entirely consist of slot machines covered in flashy lights, bells and whistles, penny pushers, a few amusement park machines like ball toss and whack-a-mole knock-offs and of course crane games where the crane only grips a second after it rises.

Where I live, we have an amusement arcade called the Buccaneer. It's mostly crane games, kiddie-rides (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiddie_ride) and I think it had the one or two actual arcade game but I forgot what they were. I think one of them had something to do with Transformers.

Seriously, Arcades in UK are not a place for kids to spend money playing games, they're a place for adults, usually tourists, to spend money on gambling machines.

Arcade center is a family oriented place here.
There are kiddie rides for kids, massage machines for moms, and arcade for dads.
It's just too bad they're kinda struggling to gain customers again when covid-19 happened.

Sega closing iconic Tokyo arcade that’s been in business for almost 30 years

(https://sega.jp/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/210802_3_1.jpg)

Quote
On Monday, the Sega Ikebukuro GiGO arcade announced that it’ll be shutting down, bringing to an end nearly three decades of welcoming gamers, otaku, and fujoshi.
The eight-floor (including basement level) facility opened on July 21, 1993, the same year Sega released such technological marvels as Virtua Fighter, Star Wars Arcade, and Alien 3: The Gun, and with Daytona USA and Virtua Cop arriving in 1994, it must have seemed like the good times were going to last forever.

Post by: Mystic Monkey on August 03, 2021, 03:43:06 pm
A part of me is hurtin' about this.

When I was a child reading them Sonic the Comics, there was an article for a brand new place in London called SegaWorld (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/SegaWorld_London). To my 8-year old mind it sounded like a "promise land to Sonic fans" and the fact it was in UK made the idea of visiting it more tangible. Problem was I was eight years old, in the middle of Wales and a single mother with four boys to worry about, so of course it be a hard "no" on going to Sega World with the old "Because you're too little" answer, that and it's too far away. But Mum says when I'm older I can probably go there so I had hope that when I grow up I'd get to see the most Sonic-iest place in all of UK.

SegaWorld lasted for about three years.

I've heard of Tokyo Joypolis not long after the internet became a common thing in my life, can't recall how I found out about it but I knew for sure that this was the most sonick-iest place in the world and I'll probably never get to visit such a place. Not only that but Joypolis towers the area with a big Sega logo which is kinda make it look Sega is a big deal there. Like it's their own '90s Boulavard (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/'90s_Boulevard) of sorts. Nintendo has a theme park in Universal Studio's Japan, but Sega had Joypolis... I would of loved to play the Sonic exclusive games and rides they have there, such as Ghost Shooting (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Sonic_Ghost_Shooting) or Brain Ranking (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Sonic_Brain_Ranking), or even visiting the Sonic carnival which is more for the little ones. Heck there's even Sega arcade games I never got to play like Scarlet Dawn or Virtua Fighter 5.

I knew it was unlikely I'll ever go to Japan to visit Joypolis, now I know I never will.

I'm a 33 year old man and as a Sonic fan I feel like I missed out most things that other more dedicated Sonic fans go to enjoy and it makes me feel depress, like sorta worthless as a Sonic fan. But I also imagine Sega themselves feel much-much worse than I do given they're losing one of their castles here. Joypolis had a bit of history, brought revenue to Sega and left their mark in Tokyo than just being some sub-par software company. Ever since 2006 it's been somewhat of a tumble for Sega.

(Also, Segabits forums is as slow as heck today, I had to rewrite this heartfelt speech three or four times with awkwardly long wait times in between. It was daylight when I tried first posting.)

Post by: Mystic Monkey on August 03, 2021, 04:51:18 pm
Wait, am I confused between two arcades that Sega own? Joypolis and the Ikebukuro GiGO arcade are seperate right?

I mean, sure there is still significance to the Ikebukuro GiGO arcade given it's iconic for Sega over that district of Tokyo, would still be nice to see it for myself.

I can't be bothered to rewrite my previous post over it because SegaBits is so slow today.

DuckStation Lets Xbox Series X/S play PlayStation games at 4K

(https://i.pinimg.com/originals/ae/70/32/ae70321ea5c786d1c906ad7e8560f7c7.png)

Another supported feature is the ability to fix texture warping, which was a typical issue with PlayStation games.
This takes up a lot of processing power, but as the video shows the Xbox Series S handles it well.
Of course, given that it’s an emulator, DuckStation is not simply available on the Xbox digital store.
The only way to access it is to set the Xbox Series X/S to Developer Mode (which requires players to pay a fee to Microsoft to enable), and install the software manually.

Easy characters can hurt fighting games, four reasons why they shouldn't be top tier

(https://gifdownload.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/bayonetta-smash-gif-.gif)

Quote
Roster members like Bayonetta in Super Smash Bros. 4, Yun in Street Fighter 4: Arcade Edition, and Cammy in Street Fighter 5 have been a very heavy presence in tournaments, and they're often regarded as some of the easiest characters to use in their respective games.
The main issue doesn't tend to be that a character might be much easier to play than their other cast members, but instead if that character is easy to use AND high tier.
This combination usually means this character will dominate in the competitive landscape, and often be at our near the top of the results and usage on numerous occasions.

Couldn't they just... not allow those characters to be playable in tournaments if that's the case? Like if a champion has won all the trophies for the last five years can a competition ask them to stand down and give the others a chance?

115 pounds and under went to Junior Bantamweight class, 135 pounds and under went to Lightweight class, etc.

Nintendo Shuts Down Another Smash Bros. Tournament

Quote
What makes this instance even more absurd is that Riptide’s Project+ tournament would have been completely offline.
(Brawl’s official online multiplayer, just to note, has been out of commission since 2014.)
The mod also requires disc copies of Brawl to work, so piracy is not an issue either.
Project+ is merely a game mod, so if you’re wondering what Nintendo’s objection is, you’re not alone.

I'm thinking the catagories could be how easy the fighters are, or if the fighters can be grouped by types and what-not. After all if there are fighters more powerful and easy than others, then pit them against fighters that are just as powerful and easy.

Mick McGinty was an artist with unparalleled talent. Back when video games required enticing box art to sell, much like books often require captivating covers, Mick was one of the best around.
Mick created artwork for Street Fighter 2, Streets of Rage 2, Streets of Rage 3, Shining Force, Kid Chameleon, and more.
However, his talents weren’t even restricted to video game art, as he has a website dedicated to a whole host of other art, including breathtaking scenic landscapes.

I watched the movie version recently (Demon Slayer: Mugen Train).
It's one of the only two movies that could make me shed a tear.
The other one was Hachi: A Dog's Tale.

I'm not sure how I feel about that. While it's nice another Sega character to be introduced in Smash Bros, still hoping it be from Sonic's universe.

In term of characters, I want Tails or Shadow.
But in term of gameplay, I want Aiai since I'm curious about how his gameplay will be.
Will he stay in the ball all the time?
Will his super move got anything to do with banana?
Will he use his boxing gloves? Or a balance board instead?

I can imagine his Final Smash is literally giving whoevers playing him the power of tilting the entire stage how they please, thus they can try and shake and punt the opponents off the stage with the stage itself.

My choice of which Sonic character to be in Smash would be Dr. Eggman. I can imagine him in the EGG-HVC-001 as his prime mech. It's modified to be more agile than it was in Palmtree Panic such as able to jump, punch and kick, but also fitted with a "quick-switch" function which would allow him to switch to other boss mechs from past Sonic games in order to fill his moveset.

Reason why I want Dr. Eggman for smash is because most of the fighters have had their villains invited to Smash already. Ridley, Sephiroth, King K. Rool and so on. And while I want Dr. Eggman as an original fighte,r it be the cherry on the cake if he took Metal Sonic along for the battle as Sonic's echo.

Khinsider Has Removed 500+ Albums Related to Sega

Quote
"Segapocalypse!
Wave Master, the company that manages Sega's music, has contacted me and asked me to remove lots of albums related to Sega.
At the end of the day, over 500 albums were removed, including Sonic, OutRun, and others.
Unfortunately, this even included fan made compilation albums for games that have no commercial releases, which, quite frankly, makes absolutely no sense.
If you were wondering why some albums have disappeared on the site, this is why."

That would nice to do with gyro control.

It's cool to control Eggman in his mech, but I doubt Nintendo would like to see EGG-HVC-001 in their own game.

Other than Sephiroth, they are from Nintendo's franchise.
Pac-Man, Mega Man, Simon Belmont, Ryu, Joker, Bayonetta, Snake, and Banjo-Kazooie didn't have had their villains invited to Smash.

Do the bosses count such as Dracula?

But yeah I think Nintendo would take the irony of it and have Dr. Eggman in the EGG-HVC-001 after knowing that just to show the Famicon was still the fighter to them. But my main reason for this choice of mech is because:To me, while Dr. Eggman is physically strong in his own right, not without the power or durability to back him up as Bowser, King K.Rool or Ganondorf has.. unless going by Mario logic then perhaps Dr. Eggman can hold his own without a mech. But a mech will provide him with the power he needs to fight while still being iconic. And a quick-switch ability to turn his egg-mobile into other recognisable mechs would not only make him more iconic but fill out his skillsets.

  • It's more well known and recognisable.
  • It has appendages that can be used for fighting, especially the bumpers for fists.
  • The E-Mech (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/E-Mech) which is perhaps Dr. Eggman's significant mech for fighting is just not as well known as his other machines.

How about Eggwalker?
While E-Mech is cooler than Eggwalker, I believe Eggwalker is more likely choice due to how popular Sonic Adventure 2 is.

The reason why I didn't count the Egg-walker is because it lacks arms. This is it's only punching attack he had (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Punch_(Eggwalker)), a boxing glove on a stick.

This is why I'd pick the EGG-HVC-001. It's a recognisable mech from a (somewhat) mainstream Sonic game and has servos for standard punching, kicking and jumping manuvers. It can also come in red and purple which is at least 2/8 palette swaps

The only problem I see with it would be how it would pick up weapons off the ground such a baseball bat or laser sword. Maybe the bumpers turn into claws from the prototype (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/File:CD_Eggman_boss_concept.png) design for it. But I like to imagine when it comes to hanging off edges, Dr. Eggman has to stand up from his seat and grabs on with his hand which his legs hold the weight of his mech.

I think EGG-HVC-001 is too tall. E-mech is indeed the right suit for fighting, since it was used in VS Fighting game.
But of course they could just make a new mech.
E-mech is also a new one for Sonic The Fighters after all.

They could scale the HVC down to at least 190 / 6’3” in height. Which is roughly the maximum height fighters in smash can be. To converse in size I can imagine the HVC's legs and arms scaled down a bit.

If the EGG-HVC-001 ever made it to the SFM workshop, I would animate various movesets myself to rough demostrate how it could work.

That got me thinking, if Sonic Forces let us customize our own character, Team Sonic Racing let us customize our own car, then may be it's time for a game that let us customize our own Egg mech.

Will it really be the final fighter in Ultimate? I mean, Ultimate is supposed to be the pinnacle of the Smash Bros. series and expande along on the way. So there maybe more Challenger Packs in the future?

Yes, it's final. Sakurai wanted to rest from SSB after this.
He said making this game was really tough and basically games are just more fun to play than make.

So there maybe more Challenger Packs in the future?

No. At least not for SSB Ultimate on Switch.
If there are ever new characters again, it would be on the next SSB, not on SSB Ultimate.

I guess hard luck for Sega, Square is more involved third-party franchise in Smash Bros than the other third-party fighters.

Also, when Sakura said it was he was the last character, did he truely mean it? I mean, will there be no more updates or new characters or DLCs to SSBU? (Other than maintenance I guess.)

Well, they gave Switch their Kingdom Hearts games, not a bad deal for Nintendo. Cloud gaming version but still.
Now SquareEnix could be proud of themself since they have most characters representation.

SEGA : Sonic, Bayonetta, Joker --> 3
Capcom : Megaman, Ryu, Ken --> 3
BandaiNamco : Pac-Man, Kazuya --> 2
Konami : Snake --> 1
SquareEnix : Cloud, Sephiroth, DQ Hero, Sora --> 4

Yes, he meant it.
Back then in Smash for Wii U/3DS too, when he said this is the end, then it's really the end.
Adding new character was fun, but to make it balance & compatible with other 80+ characters was tiring for him.
Quoting him again, "games are just more fun to play than to make."

That's the difference with mobile games I guess, who's constantly adding new characters until the game's not selling well anymore.
When the console game developer said they wanted to wrap it up, then that's the end.

Well that's too bad. The last fighter would of make or break my decision to buy a Switch or not. I know a silly basis of a decision but I don't want to spend money on a console for just a few exclusives. And Smash Bros with more representives of Sonic would of been a selling point for me.

Yeah, wallet's saved for you.
For me, I've put this game on the shelf.
Playing as Sonic in SSBU is fun (he's so f*cking fast), but without new SEGA characters, I'd rather use my limited free time playing the other new game : Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania.

Sakurai: When I introduce a new character to my game, I have to make sure their strength and skillsets are balanced to make sure not to throw off the digital ecosystem I have throughout the game. Down to their endurance, their skills, their abilities and even their stages are contributing factors to the game. Because of this I don't welcome just any character to my game.

Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles Stream Guidelines Forbid BGMs

(https://c.tenor.com/sc15vRYeX0cAAAAC/demon-slayer-zenitsu-agatsuma.gif)

Quote
While encouraging users to mark story-related segments with spoilers, Aniplex also explicitly forbid them from uploading any content from the second boss battle in the eighth chapter, which is based on the Mugen Train arc.
Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles will automatically remove the music and disable recording after the specified story point on platforms with built-in recording systems, such as the PS4 and PS5’s Share feature.

Picodrive supports Sega Genesis/Mega Drive, Master System, Sega CD, and even 32X games. You can download the RetroArch Picodrive emulator here (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1227460/RetroArch__Picodrive/) on Steam.
There are two other RetroArch emulators on Steam via both the Genesis Plus GX multi-platform emulator and Final Burn Neo, however Picodrive goes a bit further by finally supporting 32X games.
Anyone that was using the play test version of their emulator should migrate over to the mainline Steam release (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1118310/RetroArch/).

Masahiro Sakurai Was Asked About the Future of Smash in The Latest Issue of Famitsu

Quote
“I am not thinking of a sequel. I am not thinking of it every time.
However, I can’t say with certainty that this would be the end of Smash.
I need to think whether I must release a Smash game or not, even if I have to do something that would disappoint users.”

I still think it make more sense just to continue SSBU indefinitely. Heck Bethesda has released Skyrim on almost all modern consoles since 2011 because they know how customizable and marketable that game is.

I mean, I get it, the more fighters means the more difficult it be to balance the whole ecosystem the game has. But I really can't imagine a sequel topping SSBU.

Unless he collaborates with Sega to release a Sega vs Nintendo Smash Bros game.

Due out in late November to early December, Susamaru and Yahaba are two of six planned free post-launch characters.
The first update, which added Akaza and Rui, launched on November 4.
The third update, which will add the final two characters, has yet to be dated.

As long as Masahiro Sakurai weren't willing to continue SSBU, I don't think Nintendo would continue it.
And Sakurai were already burned out of SSBU, wanna take a rest a while and exploring other interests.
The most possible of the continuation if Nintendo launch a new system.
It could be new concept of SSB or reboot, or just a remake of SSBU with more characters, but it won't happened on current gen (Switch v1/v2/Lite/Oled).

Back in the NDS days, I fantasized the idea of a SSB spin-off game where a Red version consist entirely of Nintendo characters and a blue version for Sega characters. And that both games were compatible with one another. I wouldof course got the blue game.

I think SEGA could make their version of SSBU if they're willing, which sadly they're not.
They have SEGA All Star series after all with racing, tennis, puzzle, so why not fighting...

I'd rather if Sega ever decided to make their own Sega Superstars fighting game, that it's either a sequel to Fighters Megamix or a genuine collaboration with Masahiro Sakurai for a genuine Smash Bros. spin-off game.

Because let's face it, when Sony made Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale (https://playstationallstars.fandom.com/wiki/PlayStation_All-Stars_Battle_Royale), for a game that rips off Smash bros. no one really cared. When Nickelodeon released their own Nickelodeon All-Stars Brawl (https://nickelodeon.fandom.com/wiki/Nickelodeon_All-Star_Brawl) game, instead of critisizing it as a rip-off of SSBU instead it's just compliments and agreements over it, likely because SSBU has finished and NASB has just begun.

But if Sega tries to make their own platform fighting game with Sega characters, I just know critics and trolls will not hold back the mudslinging of it being a "rip-off" of SSBU. It's always the same, whenever Sonic Team release a new spin-off, IGN and critics are quick to call it "Sega's answer to Nintendo's game" of the like. Heck S&SASR:Transformed did not copy the car/boat/plane thing from MArio Kart, Mario KArt was simply released first before S&SASR:T but people still thought All-Star Racing Transformed ripped-off Mario Kart which now had cars switching from boats and gliders.

Just saying the only way I can see Sega can make a platform fighting game with little to no heck from Nintendorks is either a collaborated or a consented project from Sakurai, or a direct sequel to Fighters Megamix. And honestly I prefer the later.

It will perhaps require some modifications, but I like the idea of a Sega fighting game with gameplay styled after Tekken, DoA and SoulCalibur, especiall SoulCalibur's armour mechanic worked in for the Fighting Vipers fighters.

Plus it would definitely be "different" from the Smash Bros. games so Nintendorks can't critisize it for being a rip-off. All the more reason why I would want such a game to carry the "Fighters Megamix" name to concrete it with a game series that's older than Smash Bros.

Though I imagine Sega would rather call it "Sega All-Stars Fightiers Megamix" than Fighters Megamix 2. It would still count as a sequel to Fighters Megamix but also be an installment to the Sega Superstars games. That and it's perhaps too long for a Sega Saturn game to have such a late sequel... unless you're NiGHTS I suppose.

Yes, I'd hate it if it kinda same with SSB.
SEGA should've been rhymed with innovation, not following others.

Though I imagine Sega would rather call it "Sega All-Stars Fightiers Megamix" than Fighters Megamix 2. It would still count as a sequel to Fighters Megamix but also be an installment to the Sega Superstars games.

I don't think SEGA uses "Sega All-Stars" trademark anymore.
They could name the game "SEGA All-Star Racing Transformed" and "SEGA All-Star Puzzle".
But they picked "Sonic All-Star Racing Transformed" and "SEGA Heroes" as titles instead.
I wonder why.

That and it's perhaps too long for a Sega Saturn game to have such a late sequel... unless you're NiGHTS I suppose.

Or Sakura Wars.
I think my Saturn thread (http://segabits.com/forums/index.php?topic=4125) is full of Sakura Wars, kinda too late to make it a separated thread.

Sakura Shinguji as guest star in Samurai Showdown or Last Blade would be cool, though.

I think they would still use the All-Star name if they were inclined to make an All-Star game. I know "All-Star" is usually a term for fan-favourite sports players and athletes but I like to believe they got the name from their Dreamcast budget series Sega All Stars (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sega_All_Stars) which I think it's a clever reference... even if most of the Sega All Star games rarely mentioned the Sega classics.

I also like the fact that Fleetway's Sonic the Comic were the first to use the "Sega Superstars" name when StC had comics based on other Sega games. So it all connects in a way.

Sega Heroes was perhaps an acception to the name given it was made by Demiurge. Sega perhaps simply asked them to make the game and permit them the characters.

I think a "Sega All-Stars Fighters Megamix" would be an ideal sequel to both Fighters Megamix and the Sega Superstars series.(Or call it Sega Superstars Fightmers Megamix.)

Originally released for Capcom CPS-2 hardware in 1994, it was brought to the Sega Saturn on 22nd November 1995, and is built similarly to the likes of Street Fighter II' and Darkstalkers.
The game was widely praised as a result of this, in addition to its colorful graphics and use of voice actors from the then-current X-Men cartoon series.

Also, I’ve been doing too much of the work myself, so I’d need to resolve that, too."

I'm probably not the fan of choice for Sakurai himself to have feedback from, but again I think he should consider either continuing SSBU with making Fighters Passes every few years, or make a Smash Bros game that's promotional with another video game company, preferably Sega.

Option 1. Continued Fighter Passes.
From what I understand, I believe Sakurai regards each Smash Bros. game like an "ecosystem". I believe when he introduces a new fighter he puts heavy consideration in not only the fighers movesets and stats but how that fighter will play well on various stages, how that fighter is balanced against other fighters and how other fighters in the game match up well to the newcomer. That said it's understandable why it would be difficult for Sakurai to come up with new fighters every few years for SSBU.

But would it really be more easier to make a new Smash Bros. game over additional Fighter Passes for SSBU? Especially given there will be fans upset their favourite fighters not returning to Smash Bros. or anticipate their return anyway.

Way I see it, SSBU could be Nintendo's Minecraft. They can continue to add to it and it maybe a whole new game in the future (just as how different Minecraft is to 2009 Minecraft) but it will still be the ultimate SSB game.

Option 2. Nintendo vs ??? (Preferably Sega)
More of an idea for a spin-off than a sequel but could perhaps work both ways. The idea is Sakurai could go back to a standard set of fighters, such as Brawls' roster (bit without Snake) but this game could be cross-promotional with another video game company that have just as much recognisable characters to be made into fighters than themselves. While Namco and Capcom are good choices for crossover fighting games, I believe that Sega would be the ideal choice given both the history and rivalry the two had in the past.

The only problem I see with this option is that such a match-up between Sega and Nintendo would only be of any relevent of interest to Millenials than the current Gen-Zs who are the market today. They don't care about the "90s console war" between Sega and Nintendo, heck it's Sega's own efforts they're still relevent to Gen-Zs without the use of cutting-edge gaming consoles like Nintendo does so only Sega fans might fight option 2 more relevent to their interest than SSBs general fan base.

But in doing Option 2 not only would Sakurai be able to start a new Smash Bros. game that isn't on the shoulders of Ultimate but would be allowed to collaborate with Sega for more fighters to work with. The "contract" in mind would be a fair balance of number of fighters and stages between Nintendo and Sega while Nintendo will still get top-billing in promotional stuff, such as Mario's name before Sonic or final say in what goes into the game over Sega etc.

Balancing fighting characters becoming more insane with that amount of characters.
Fans upset because their favourite fighters not returning is unavoidable, but fans tend to upset over anything anyways.
Of course he could always stop being perfectionist about balancing.
Marvel vs Capcom 2 is very unbalanced game, yet people still love the game.

It's likely Sakurai will just make a SSB6... But maybe there is a third option:
Option 3. Super Smash Bros with something else?
It will still be a fighting game, but perhaps with a new formula added into it to make it a more unique game from the others. Maybe a new story-driven Adventure Mode (Like what SSBB had) or some Mario Party like minigames or events, something that make such a game more "evolved" from it's predecessors. I dunno what though. Maybe a story mode where you play as a Mii Fighter who journeys throughout an MMO world with other Mii Fighters, only instead of just Mii Fighters fighting each other they have the ability to summon their favourite fighters to fight with or something like that, I dunno, something that puts SSB a new level above the rest of the series.

I'd settle for Option 2 though.

There is already a single-player story mode in Super Smash Bros Ultimate called "The World of Light"

Mii Fighter with the ability to summon their favourite fighters sounded like SHIN MEGAMI TENSEI V, lol.

Option 2 is definitely better.

Hypothetically speaking, let's say Option 2 was a go and that the main veterans will each be given a Sega "rival". Who should it be?

For example my choices would be:
Mario = Sonic
Kirby = Ristar
Link = Nigel from Landstalker or Ash from PSO2.
Young Link = Alex Kidd
Pikachu = Chomp from Dinosaur King
DK = Congo Bongo (OK, running out of ideas.)

Main features of this project:

    A Lot of hacking to add new GFX details, Polishments, Timing improvements, Sound samples, New features… Master Linkuei did all this stuff with the help from Billytime!Games.

    Master Linkuei remade all the bio and ending screen using the arcade gfx as base. Including the 2 absent ending screens from Kano.

    Every graphic made by PROBE Software was completely changed or improved by Master Linkuei, Chev Chelios and Danilo Dias to look more accurate.

    New animations for the Courtyard (monks and tsung), Palace Gates (Flame), Warrior’s Shrine (Flame during Ermac fight) and Throne Room (Shang Tsung head + Shang Tsung clap).

    Added +80 sound samples from the Arcade!

    BillyTime!Games added a whole new SRAM system to save the Winning Streak name list.

    Improved gameplay removing delays and improving the whole timing.

    Option to change between original Music order or a more accurate one.

And MUCH more…

"The very core of this lies at making sure that the people who have enjoyed and supported Virtua Fighter for so long will also enjoy this potential new title," said Aoki.
"If the players aren't there, the planning is all for naught.
So, we would like for them to keep enjoying the series and if we're making a new one, it'd have to be a game that lives up to their expectations and hopes."

What's extra wild about his is just how high Brawlhalla's numbers are compared to every other fighter on the list as the number one game overall but also the only platform fighter.
One of the biggest factors in Brawlhalla's favor as mentioned above is its free-to-play business model that only locks cosmetics behind real money transactions.

According to Dabuz, the 2 best characters in the game, without question, are Joker and Pyra/Mythra.
Notably, Joker was released as part of the first Fighters Pass while Pyra & Mythra were packaged in the Fighters Pass Vol. 2.
These are definitely 2 DLC characters that are worth buying for competitors.

I have read the manga before Tekken 3 came out, so it was really surprising at that time.
The manga is kinda popular back then here because the arts were so good.
The manga consists many pictures without any word written at all.

Sonic's forward smash beats basically everything
Can it be defeated by any pair of fighters in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate?


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSqzpRfhsyQ

Quote
Sonic's forward smash is basically invulnerable.
UR2SLOW previously explored why this phenomenon takes place, and it appears that the hurtbox around Sonic's forward Smash is essentially nonexistent — so the big fist functions like an invincible move without technically being classed as one.
The tests conducted includes sets of Link, Dark Pit, Banjo, Corrin, Ganondorf, Sephiroth, Shulk, Bayonetta, Villager and even Sora. Can any of the duo's best a single hedgehog?

Think of it as kinetic energy. A bullet is harmless without a gun to shoot it. Sonic has moderate attacks with some hard hits but if you can utilize his agility he can be an effective fighter. Granted I never properly mained as Sonic but I've seen gameplay footage of those who main as Sonic in Smash Bros. They're sthe sort to give a face full of combos and quickly evade and surprise before the opponent can fight back. Hard to describe it, it's like a aggressive tactic but hit fast than hit hard.

They're sthe sort to give a face full of combos and quickly evade and surprise before the opponent can fight back. Hard to describe it, it's like a aggressive tactic but hit fast than hit hard.

There is also who played "hit and run" with Sonic,
kinda annoying but it's still a fair fight.

Yep. Wish I fought like that when I played Brawl.

So, why wasn't this reported at the time, you might ask? Well, Mielke wanted to, but it wasn't quite as easy as that.
"Amazingly, my source was going to let me run this story – or at least wasn't going to stop me – but I was not going to name my source, firstly because I protect my sources, and secondly, they wouldn't have been long for Acclaim if this was in any way connected with them.
Somehow, the managing editor of Gamespot, despite her journalistic credentials which she reminded me of fairly frequently, demanded to name my source or else she was going to kill this story.
Her argument was that without the source, this was basically an unsubstantiated rumour, which didn’t make any sense as they do this in sports and political reporting all the time.

Happy Lunar New Year!

This is Koha-D, the Representative of SEGA Arcade Music Game Team.
As the New Year has begun, I'd like to wish you a happy lunar new year and comment on two SEGA music games.

🔸 maimai DX International ver.

It’s been 2 years since the maimai DX International ver. started operation, which new version (UNiVERSE) released on January 27. Despite the fact that there are times and areas where stores cannot operate due to the effects of COVID 19, we have been able to achieve a high operation rate, thanks to everyone's enthusiasm.
Thank you very much for your support!
For various reasons, the music, collaborations, and several others have been delayed from the Japanese version, but we are still thinking of some surprises for you, so we would be grateful for your continued support.

🔸 CHUNITHM International ver.

Since CHUNITHM started its operation from the end of 2020, we've received a lot of feedback and we've changed our plans drastically from the original plan, adding songs at a rapid pace to bring it closer to the Japanese version.
Thank you for your support here as well as in maimai DX!
We are now in the final adjustment stage of the version-up to "NEW", which we reported at the end of last year, and we are preparing to provide it with some plans to activate the local player’s community.
For a variety of reasons, it is going to be difficult to make it exactly the same as the Japanese version, but we are working with the people in charge to make it as pleasing to everyone as possible.
We will be making an announcement on the specifics soon, so please look forward to it!

🔹 Lastly, due to the impact of COVID19, it has been difficult to enjoy arcade music games in both Japan and overseas.
I can only express my gratitude to all of you who continue to play our games even under such circumstances.
In order to respond to such enthusiasm, we, the development team, will continue to do our best to provide the best service possible. We would be grateful for your continued support.

We hope you'll continue enjoy maimai DX and CHUNITHM in 2022!

Dragon Ball Z - Buyuu Retsuden (Mega Drive) gets an Android 18 Improved Sprite

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ii_hMjprrfo

Quote
While most of the characters are carefully designed and look more than good enough, Android 18 art in the 16 bit era (not just Mega Drive) is somehow dull.
While Dragon Ball games in later generation consoles present a more stylized look, closer to the source material, the 16 bit era had to settle with barely recognizable art.
This new hack for Dragon Ball Z: Buyuu Retsuden by KanonZombie replaces every animation frame with their counterparts from Extreme Butoden for the Nintendo 3DS.

Probably because I'm a loveless loser but if the yandere is sincere and hot, I'd take what I can get.

Yandere is different than deredere
Yandere is an extreme version of clingy jealous girlfriend
She wouldn't hesitate murder any girl that's close to you
or torture you if you ever get close to any girl
More like a psycopath than a lover.
I value my health and my life more than having someone like that.

If you like tsundere character, then you're gonna like Isekai Oji-san (Uncle in Another World)
Sui is the queen of tsundere
Sui (before we know her name in chapter 30) was being nicknamed as tsundere-san
by manga readers of course, in the book she's called elf-san

She just wanted something from uncle, a memento.
Since turned out uncle gave rings to other people too,
guess she wanted something that's not the same with others.

Atlus Buyer’s Survey Points to Interest in Future Persona Fighting Games

Relatedly, “Persona 5 fighting game” has been regularly listed in the potential spin-off genres Atlus wanted to gauge consumer interest in, from the company’s annual surveys.
Atlus has stated that these surveys have helped inform their releases, such as with the revival of Soul Hackers 2 or the release of Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne HD Remaster.
This line of questioning is similar to a question Atlus had asked in the 2016 annual survey, which is when the development of Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight and Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight had actually begun:

However, there will be no ports or re-releases during the timeframe.
Keiko “Chuuko” Ijuu, the former representative director of Noise Factory and producer of the series, made the announcement on Twitter.
The latest title in the Power Instinct series is Gouketsuji Ichizoku: Senzo Kuyou, available on arcades in Japan since 2009.

Speculation: Power Instinct's Character that's Risque and Tend To Be Subject of Political Correctness Considerations is White Buffallo

(https://d3isma7snj3lcx.cloudfront.net/images/photos/00/01/42/15/ME0001421540_2.jpg)

Quote
Although it is speculative, the character "White Buffalo" that appears in the first "Power Instinct" is the one with the strongest possibility. That's because this character has a racial setting with Native Americans.
Native Americans tend to be subject to political correctness considerations. For example, the word "Indian" that was once used in the name is now regarded as a derogatory term, and the US professional baseball team "Cleveland Guardians (formerly Indians)" has changed its name from this season.
In addition, the US football team "Washington Commanders (formerly known as Red Skins)" has been sued because of the name "Red Skins". Also, "classical Indian statues" such as "hold a tomahawk, put on a feather headdress, and make a strange loud voice" are also subject to criticism and concern as they promote prejudice.

And White Buffalo also has a character setting similar to that of the Indian statue. He has a pure personality and a kind of "barbarian", and there is one act that shows his behavior.
In addition, there are techniques such as swinging a tomahawk, and the tribal people who appear in the ending etc. are drawn with an image that is very close to a "classical Indian image".
As a character, he is depicted as an attractive person, and of course the creators would not have had any discriminatory intentions.
However, about 30 years after the release of the first "Power Instinct", it is possible that White Buffalo may be perceived as an inappropriate Native American depiction.

"Nothing would make me happier than to just throw all the characters into a battle royale and do a big Smash Bros. thing.
That would probably require some work from the lawyers before that could happen"
"Getting Mario and Sonic in the ring, I mean everyone would be kinda dying for that, right? That's just classic."

Persona 4 Arena: Ultimax's Junpei - The most overly complicated mechanic in Fighting Games

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNbiiuY4Mz8

Quote
Persona 4 Arena: Ultimax's Junpei is the character with THE MOST ridiculously complicated unique mechanic I've personally seen in a fighting game.
His baseball gauge and it's associated Victory Cry mode are REALLY hard to understand, especially if you don't know the rules of baseball.
We'll be discussing how Junpei works, some of his basic combos and supers, including how to get 10 runs in one combo!
And then taking him online to see how we far with Shadow Junpei! Hope you enjoy the video!

Y'know Sega has a few fighting games that have really fallen in the gaps of the sofa.

For example, Burning Rival (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burning_Rival). I never heard of it until yesterday. You'd think they would recycle some of those fighters for Virtua Fighter or if Sega ever collab with Capcom on a Street Fighter game.

I've checked all of SEGA fighting games that I put on first page of this thread,
some of them I played on MAME emulator,
and trust me Burning Rival is really not worth our time.
It's bland, uninteresting, and I'm even sure Yu Suzuki wanted us to forget that game ever existed.

Some of those listed games were third-party than Sega, such as Power Instincts. And Guilty Gear was the step-child that was reluctantly included in the marriage and cut ties at X2.

Burning Rivals is ugly, but still Sega.

Some of those listed games were third-party than Sega,

No no no, all of those games are published by SEGA (and Atlus).
None on the list are published by third party.
If they are developed by other companies,
it would meant the developer was second party since it's published by SEGA,
not third party.

If I include third party games like Mortal Kombat 1,2,3 on Genesis
Or KOF series, Street Fighter Alpha 1,2,3, Darkstalkers, and Marvel vs series on Saturn & Dreamcast
the list would be tenfold,
lot lot longer than right now.

... such as Power Instincts.

Power Instincts was Atlus games.
Now that Atlus is part of SEGA, Power Instincts became SEGA's franchise.
It became a first party game now.

And Guilty Gear was the step-child that was reluctantly included in the marriage and cut ties at X2.

Arcade version of Guilty Gear series are all published by SEGA.
Arcade games being published by SEGA in Japan gave it more visibility since SEGA used to have hundred of arcade centers.
Even when Nintendo want to publish arcade games they chose SEGA (Luigi's Mansion, Rhythm Heaven, Pokemon Corogarena).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-N0yXGVWS1Y (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-N0yXGVWS1Y)

Yeah, but remember when SEGA release mini arcade with built-in arcade games?
It didn't include Burning Rabger.
It include Dark Edge instead.
Now that's a SEGA fighting game that I could enjoy.

(https://i.pinimg.com/474x/c0/ec/e9/c0ece903c1c3ff2b58d2aae55c28ac19--arcade-games-fighting-games.jpg)

The reason why there were few VS fighting games from SEGA is because SEGA of Japan always rejected all ideas of it after Virtua Fighter was released.
Eternal Champions was planned to be trilogy with Eternal Champions: The Final Chapter should have been published by SEGA of America for Sega Saturn.
But the game was forcefully canceled by Sega of Japan, seeing the game as competition for the Saturn version of Virtua Fighter.

It's kind of understandable in a sense. I mean when Street Fighter came out it revolutionized the fighting genre and fighting games wanted to be like it, thus an era of Street Fighter knock-offs. Games like Dark Edge and Eternal Champions maybe their own thing but were still clones of Street Fighter. But Sega had the technology to revolutionize the fighting genre themselves giving it a whole new depth with Virtua Fighter. While perhaps extreme to cancel Eternal Champions over Virtua Fighter Sega knew Virtua Fighter would be their flagship fighting franchise entirely original to themselves and likely figured it would look uncouth to continue ripping-off Street Fighter over it.

Now there's games like Tekken, Dead or Alive and SoulCalibur, games regarded better than Virtua Fighter despite the fact these games were knock-off to Virtua Fighter.

So in a sense, Sega didn't want a knock-off of Street Fighter to represent Sega in the fighting game market, but Bandai Namco and Tecmo practically built their careers off knock-off Virtua Fighter games and overtaken the original out of it.

They didn't do it in the first try and I think Tekken and DoA also didn't do it in the first try.
But they kept trying and trying and trying...meanwhile Virtua Fighter stopped at five.
It's still SEGA's fault that the knock-off surpased them at some point.

I forget which Street Fighter game was the revolutionized one. Didn't street Fighter 2 had like a dozen variations and re releases? I dunno.
But yeah if Virtua Fighter simply had a story mode it would perhaps hold more of a candle with Tekken, or at least Dead or Alive. Either way Sega didn't wanted to be known for knock-off Street Fighter II games while Bandai Namco and Tecmo are known for their knock-off Virtua Fighter games that are regarded the successor series to Virtua Fighter.

Street Fighter II: The World Warrior of course.
The variation and rereleases are mostly just balancing or adding some new moves and characters.

The thing is Virtua Fighter games do have story in their manual books,
at least for each characters.
SEGA was just too lazy to put them in the game.
Their own mistakes for treating making console games like making arcade games.

Mortal Kombat Creator Calls for Sega vs. Capcom Fighting Game

Quote
Ed Boon's comment on a potential crossover was prompted by a fan that shared artwork from the "Worlds Unite" storyline that took place in the Sonic the Hedgehog and Mega Man comics published by Archie Comics in 2015.
Worlds Unite was a sequel to a previous crossover featuring Sonic and Mega Man, but this one brought in a number of additional characters owned by Sega and Capcom.
There was something really cool about seeing all of these icons interacting with one another, and it would be even cooler to see in a game.

Sega Asia has put out a new buyer’s survey following the release of Persona 4 Ultimax. This survey might just hint at future Persona fighters, with a couple of questions in particular really standing out as potentially interesting.
Plus, Twitter user regularpanties translated a different series of questions from the Japanese version of the survey, which asks if players would want more Persona fighters, and if the story of a fighter is important to those filling out the survey.

Although the show was licensed in North America by Anime Works, only 24 of the series’ 35 episodes were dubbed to English, meaning the final 11 episodes were never released in the west.
According to Discotek, the new Blu-Ray release will include the Japanese language audio and English subtitles for all 35 episodes.
However, it will also include the original Anime Works English language dub for the 24 episodes that received one.

I thought the rumours were a bit later than that, during the console wars. Sega would headhunt and threaten developers from joining their competitors and got the yakuza involved.

Actually the Yakuza ones are more arcade wars than console wars.
Console war was indeed happened in US but in Japan for SEGA's more like arcade wars since Mega Drive has no chance in beating Sufami's dominance anyway.
SEGA's competitor were NAMCO, SNK, and Konami in arcade business, not Nintendo.
And arcade centers' back then aren't a family-friendly places like right now, so no wonder if its handling of business was kinda shaddy.

For console business, Nintendo's actually  the one who's threatened other developers from making games from their competitors.
Most SEGA exclusive games were only from SEGA themself and third party games from SEGA usually also available in other consoles.
If SEGA's involving Yakuza, most likely it's arcade business.
SEGA's threatened arcade centers who prioritizes other arcade games more than ones for them.
SEGA's dominance in arcade business let them have monopolize hundreds of arcade centers in Japan, even around 1,000 arcade centers in the late '90s.

Can't help myself to admire Nintendo's spirit back then.
They're not afraid to try anything.
Anything to keep them alive.
Now they are in comfort zone and sometimes lost their fighting spirit.

Can't help myself to admire Nintendo's spirit back then.
They're not afraid to try anything.
Anything to keep them alive.
Now they are in comfort zone and sometimes lost their fighting spirit.

Happy 25 Years Anniversary for Cyber Troopers Virtual-On (PC Version) !

(https://segaretro.org/images/a/a3/VirtualOn_PC_JP_Box_Front.jpg)

Quote
1997 saw a Windows PC release of Virtual-On.
Derived from the Saturn game, however unlike previous Sega PC games, it required a 166MHz Pentium MMX processor to run, which at the time was only available as part of high-end machines.
Despite this, the game was unable to hit a stable frame rate with the recommended hardware, and 3D accelerator cards were not supported.

Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles (Swicth) is Devilishly Good!

(https://i.ibb.co/F3sXTdJ/SEGA-Demon-Slayer-Kimetsu-no-Yaiba-The-Hinokami-Chronicles.jpg)

Quote
The voice cast does a great job all across the board, playing up all the performances with just the right amount of passion and cheesiness.
It does get a little old having Tanjiro constantly monologuing in his head at every little thing going on around him, and there are occasional scenes that get close to Tidus’-laugh-in-FFX bad, but it’s all part of the overall charm.
Meanwhile, the soundtrack borrows a lot from the anime and hits all the right tonal beats, although we didn’t find any tracks to be particularly memorable.

There is one hindrance to Mario's movie backing down though, and that is they may rewrite or redo parts of it to surpass the Sonic movies. They've seen the Sonic movies, they know how popular and fortunate they are, they can learn from that. Sonic movies maybe the best for now but they've already shown their hand to Nintendo.

It wasn't named in the movie.
Funnily enough, Jean-Claude Van Damme revealed that he was offered to reprise his role as Guile too on that movie but he turned down the offer.
Luckily he did since we know how bad this movie was.

Some of them even said Future Cops (Street Fighter parody movie from Hong Kong) is still the best Street Fighter movie due to super moves performed by the characters are same with the game version.

It's based on a manga (plus anime) with same title.
It's just the movie's taking a lot more comedic approach in its adaptation.

(https://i.pinimg.com/originals/c4/c0/25/c4c0250b34e43a08bbf3e4b8bd1e3a9a.gif)

City Hunter is a code name for Ryo Saeba / Nicky Larson,
a best sweeper / private investigator who's almost unbeatable in term of shooting and fighting.
But he has one big weakness : women.
He's a pervert to the core.
He only takes cases/request from women and always try to flirt with them.
His female partner (Kaori/ Laura) always stopped him from going too far though.

There's also French version of the movie that follows its manga more accurately.
It's called Nicky Larson et le parfum de Cupidon.
In term of story, it's better than Jackie Chan version.
But in term of hand to hand fighting, Jackie Chan's version is better.

It's hard to difference when he's acting like a pervert (there's a reason why in the manga version) and when he's being genuinely a pervert.
May be it's the former after he married, not the later.
His funny pervert act made him easily being friends with many people in Shinjuku's bars where he gathered much information for his detective works.

How is he related to Street Fighter?

He's good at fighting and very fast at learning and copying fighting style, including Street Fighter's fighting style.
The one suited his most is Chun Li's style may be due to his moronic attitude
(when he didn't go into killing mode of course).

How is he related to SEGA?

Not much, I guess.
The only thing that I knew is SEGA made official Stuffed Plush and Key Chain based on City Hunter years ago.
His game's also exclusive to PC Engine, none in SEGA consoles.

The Rumble Fish first launched for arcade in 2004 in Japan, followed by PlayStation 2 on March 17, 2005.
The arcade version of sequel, The Rumble Fish 2 came out in 2005, introducing new game mechanics and characters.
It gained popularity with its sleek 2D visuals powered by S.M.A. (Smooth Model Animation), fascinating characters and strategic gameplay using two types of gauges.
The game series has a cult following and is still played in tournaments.
Worth noting the series has never been released outside of Japan.
This will also be the first time The Rumble Fish 2 makes the move to consoles.

SEGA Genesis Mini 2 will be in much shorter supply (around one-tenth) than original

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8RGornqWgw (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8RGornqWgw)

Quote
My questions about Genesis Mini 2 shipments were forwarded to Sega of Japan's corporate office, which eventually confirmed that the new miniaturized console was a "Japan-only project" for the company.
"The Sega Genesis Mini 2 could only be produced in small numbers due to the global semiconductor shortage," reads a letter from the Sega president's office, so the company opted to produce a small Western batch of Genesis Mini 2s alongside its order of Mega Drive Mini 2s.
"The number of units for this project makes up around one-tenth of the total for the previous Genesis Mini," the letter states.

This is why I go on about Virtua Fighter games should have a story mode!

Fact is many of Japanese VF fans are okay with VF has no story.
IRL Tournament was still active there and the winner of VF in the game is based on the tournament in real life.
For example, in VF 2 Akira was mostly used tournament winners so in the game he became the winner of VF2.

Also about who wins which...

Virtua Fighter 1
According to VF2 Manual Book, Lau is the winner.
He fought Akira in the Final.

Virtua Fighter 2
According to VF3 Manual Book, Akira is the winner.
He fought Wolf in the Final.

Virtua Fighter 3
According to VF4 Manual Book, Kage is the winner.
He fought Akira in the final.
But somehow Jeffrey's the one who got the money prize.
Kage wasn't interested in the prize, he just wanted to save her mother.

Virtua Fighter 4
According to VF5 Manual Book, no clear winner.
The final fight between Kage and Shun Di is interrupted by Dural.
Dural usually wait until the tournament's over to fight the winner but she's kinda impatient and wanted to take them both.
Kage's the one who beat Dural in the end so probably we can say he's the winner.
Akira doesn't even make it to the Final, Kage beat him in the semifinal.
This deeply affected Akira too much which leads him to *spoiler*.

Virtua Fighter 5
We'll have to wait for VF6 Manual Book to know who the winner is.

Right now Kage's the strongest there is but that's also because Lau is already sick, not at his fullest power like he was in VF1.

Has your attention span seen better days?
Or do you just simply prefer brief games for some short and sweet video game sessions?

We got you!
Here are some SEGA games that you can enjoy in short bursts, so you can have time for other things in life… or maybe even more games!

It's OK if Arcade and Tournament versions of the game lack stories, I just think they should make Story Modes for the home console/PC versions. Offer new challenges and much needed context over characters and story.

Yes, they should have though I doubt they will.
They don't even bother to port the latest VF5 games to PC.
Hell, not even the previous games (I, II, III, IV - not counting MD version).
I really want Virtua Fighter Collection consists from 1 to 5.

There's always Dead or Alive 5: Last Round, where you can buy the Virtua Fighters as DLCs. Never played it so I dunno if they have a Story Mode for the Virtua Fighters or can compare to the games.

But yeah. They should just release a console/PC exclusive Virtua Fighter game at this point that is either recycled from VF5 or built from the ground up. "Virtua Fighter Legacy" or something, a sort of soft reboot of the Virtua Fighter lore told over a story mode to cover everything.

I bought those DLCs for DoA5, the story is just each of them met one of the DoA fighters and then they fight.
That's all.
Nothing's worthy.
Story's still focused on DOA characters.
You got a lot more VF story reading from VF Manual Books.

Still they're fun to play.
And bonus .... there are also beach suits for Sarah and Pai.

I recall the beach volleyball DoA games, where people got the games for the one thing, and it wasn't beach volleyball.

Rest assured, the developer has fixed that "mistake" now and dropped the "beach volleyball" title.
"Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball" is now only known as "Dead or Alive Xtreme"

Quote
Zui Qan, literally drunk fist, is an ancient style present in different Chinese martial arts, such as Kung-Fu, which consists of imitating the movements of a drunk person.

The basic technique is to imitate the movements of a drunk person, as if you had a belly full of wine, which flows through the body bringing energy to the movements, using strange and unusual positions that, at first glance, may seem random and uncomfortable, but that actually maintain the balance of the body. As one progresses in the handling of the style, one moves on to acrobatic techniques that require a high degree of coordination.

I don't really like the dating part,
but I do enjoy the poker games in Casino though.
Eventhough it's just a normal poker, not strip poker.

From what I remember,
we got money from Casino or from winning sport games to buy the girls gift (outfits).
If you could capture their hearts, you can ask them to wear the outfits.
Even the skimpiest kind of outfits.

Some other games were just too focus on the girls but they kinda meh on the gameplay part.

I doubt SEGA would allow them too but I'd like to be proven wrong.
Well, a "Virtua Fighter Xtreme" or "Fighting Vipers Xtreme" would be nice. Or "Fighters Megamix Xtreme".

Fighters Megamix 2 will be nice too.
With Sonic, Aiai, and Koco replacing Bark, Bean, and Deku.
Or all of them...

I really want a Fighters Megamix 2 to not only be a sequel to the first game, but as an installment to the Sega All-Stars series. Even if it means a name change like "Sega All-Stars Fighters Megamix" or something like that.

It's just if Sega ever decided to make their own crossover fighting game, I don't want it to be a knock-off of Super Smash Bros.

The gameplay was finally improved and feels less jittery and awkward, resulting in a much smoother game.
However, during the game’s reimagining, Groove On Fight has lost a lot of what made the earlier Power Instinct games so unique.
The darker visuals and edgier feel have replaced most of the wackiness.
Most of the music is bland and uninteresting, lacking any semblance of the crazy vocals from the second game.
If anything, it seems a little bit closer to the Darkstalkers games.
At least it still manages to come up with some weirdly intriguing characters.

Steve Lycett (executive producer at Sumo Digital) has pitched one I believe (with All Star Football too),
but SEGA hasn't agreed yet.
And fear not, it wasn't inspired by SSB.
The All-Stars Fighting was more to take inspiration from Capcom’s Power Stone that was universally loved by SEGA fighting game fans in Dreamcast era.

That would of been perfect.

Even if such a fighting game can't continue the Fighters Megamix name, a fighting game in style of Power Stones would of been perfect. I hope it would have regular updates and hype like what SSBU had.

I'm not really into football but I'm sure it would be beloved by Sega's footie fans.

I thought all people from UK loves football so much.
Football Manager games always come out on top there.
I guess that's really a wrong generalization.

Just because I'm british doesn't mean I follow the stereotypes.
I don't drink tea. If I was offered tea I'd perhaps accept it out of good manners. But I don't drink tea at four o'clock every evening.
Football season is a nuisence to me. It's "Football this" and "Football that". Don't really care.
I know I have British accent and mannerisms but I don't really regard myself that patriotic. My country isn't as bad as America but Borris Johnson could be regarded as the British-equivalent to Trump. Our country is open to immigration with only so much regulated control over it and BBCs gone all "woke" and ruined Doctor Who over it.

I don't even care much for the royals either. They're purely figure heads. The most they do for British in the income from tourist come to hang otuside the palace gates in hopes to take a glimpse at them. Most Brits think we're more civilized and better than the Americans but Prime Ministry isn't that different from Presidency.

Sometimes I wonder what life would be like if King Harold won the Battle of Hastings, or what if the Legends of King Arthur were true and such. Perhaps that would be a better Britain to live in.

I drink tea every day.
Mostly ice tea, but still tea.
Drinking tea is also part of our culture,
but usually like this :

and not this :

And depended on which version of King Arthus's story.
There are different version of them.
Marvel Comic version's King Arthur is kinda bad.
He's literally a bad guy here.

Brazookas - A Superhero Fighting Game with SEGA Genesis / Mega Drive pixel art look

BRazooka's is a new 100% national fighting game with a pixel art look, which puts several Brazilian superheroes face to face. Inspired by hit titles in the genre like Street Fighter II and Marvel Super Heroes.
Despite being inspired by the classic Arcades fighting games, our project is more similar to a port of them for 4th and 5th generation home consoles such as SNES, Mega Drive and PS1, as it uses simple mechanics where anyone can play and a retro look in pixel art in the style of 16-bit era games.

For video gaming machines, I believe Commodore PET is the first using it.

But if we are not counting computer,
just console,
I believe yes SEGA was the first back in 1990 for its Mega Drive.
It's Sega Meganet, a functioned on a pay to play basis using a peripheral called the Mega Modem.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbWkjAFgR5Q (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbWkjAFgR5Q)

It was short-lived but it would serve as a precursor to the Sega Channel (1994) and XBAND services (1994),
(both for SEGA Genesis / Mega Drive)
as well as a predecessor to online gaming services for video game consoles.

Like how Virtua Fighters was the first kind of 3D fighting game out there, but these days it's Tekken, Dead or Alive or SoulCalibur that are the popular preferred franchises in the genre. (It's the story mode I tell you!)

Guess they're only good at creating but not on maintaining it.
It's like others were Thomas Alpha Edison and SEGA was Nikola Tesla.

An ass that could reproduce it in mass production at an affordable price that's comfortable to customers.
Sometimes people mistaken a businessman with an inventor.

Then he should be credited and remembered as a businessman, not an inventor.
I mean sure he invented some things, but he mostly took others ideas and patent it.

Not that simple.
He took other's ideas, yes, but he made the ideas into reality and modify them to be useful to society.
The curses of the geniuses is they have some great ideas but the experiments are to expensive to do and too complex to be explained for investors / normal people.
Edison is kind of a bridge between these geniuses and the investors, he understand both since he's both a genius and businessman.
He treated Tesla unfair and badly, yes, but his Edison Manufacturing Company does have a role in history.

Many cases happened when big company owner would be simplified as an inventor and powerful politician would be as a national hero.

I guess so. But those were the old days. Now he is credited as an inventory as well as credited for many inventions he did not really make. Such as the light bulb.

Because he patented the successful light bulb first.
So legally and documentally that's what it's wrote.
Investors also side with him since he's really good at communication.

What about others who make experiments about light bulb during those times (Swan, Woodward, Evans, Sawyer, and Man)?
They either joined Edison or sold the patents to Edison in the end after meeting with him.
Edison could manage to find investors who fund his testing to more than 6,000 plants to determine which material would burn the longest.
Others would have hard time to find investors who's willing to invest to those expensive experiments.

Again, credit him as a business man, not an inventor.

If Edison Day really needs to be commemorate him despite how poorly he treated Tesla and other clients, at least honour him as a business man.

He did invent something though.
He did find material that would burn the longest for the light bulb,
the one that cost-efficient to use for general mass.
He did not invent the light bulb though,
that's the general mistake.

He did not find the material. That credit goes to Joseph Swan who discovered the use of cheap carbon as a cost efficient filament for light bulbs in 1878. Thomas Edison did however figured to use thinner filaments and better vacuums. So where credit is due he did figure out how to improve light bulbs for both both scientific and commercial use.

What you say is contradicting.

He did not find the material.
He did find material that would burn the longest.

Did Thomas Edison find new material that would last the longest? NO
Did Thomas Edison alter the existing materials to make them last longer and be marketable? YES

It was Joseph Swan who found carbon as a cheap alternative to light bulb filament. However this filament would still burn out after awhile.

What Thomas Edison did was to make the carbon filament thinner and looped it as well as vacuum seal the bulb more efficiently.

Thomas Edison invented the "Edison Light bulb (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edison_light_bulb)" which is less of a brand new creation and more of an improvement on a concept that's been around since 1802. You can credit Thomas Edison for making marketable light bulbs which is indeed a scientific break through, but that still leans him towards being a businessman than a full-on inventor.

May be I'm not good at wording them but I'm sure you get the point that I've been trying to do devil's advocate all this time since I myself didn't like Edison that much (even when he's played by one of my favorite actors in the movie (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Current_War)).
My point is this is how general mass perceived at that time :

Let's say a father and kid were taking a look at light bulb.
Then the kid ask, "Dad, who invented the lamp?'
Most likely the father will simplify the answer by saying, "It's Edison, son" since the light bulb was produced by Edison Electric Illuminating Company.
This went on many decades so that Edison's name become a synonym for light bulb.
It's oversimplifying and it isn't true but it's understandable.

If my kids ask who created Toe Jam, Ecco the Dolphin, and Shenmue.
most likely I will simplify the answer by saying, "It's SEGA, son"
while the answers are supposed to be Greg Johnson & Mark Voorsanger, Ed Annunziata, and Yu Suzuki.
Or simplify the answers with Disney for Mickey, Donald, and Uncle Scrooge creator.

They are indeed a common mistakes but I can understand why it's like that and why it was hard to be fixed.

I understand if it's simply over-simplifying an answer.

All I am saying is, give credit where credit is due. You do understand that the light bulb was not invented by Thomas Edison. He simply improved the design patent it. Thus he is a great businessman. Inventor not so much.

Yeah, that was back then, it's different now.
Thanks to the internet, nowadays Tesla is more well known and admired.
Even in the best selling manga "Record of Ragnarok" (there's also anime adaptation but still only season 1 for now),
they pick Tesla instead of Edison, Einstein, or Newton to represent humankind against Beelzebub, lord of the flies.

(https://i.ibb.co/wyyYGsn/Complete.jpg)

(https://i.ibb.co/NyZBsYn/Scientist.jpg)

The story of "Record of Ragnarok" is about a tournament with 13 notable humans from across history against 13 of the most powerful gods engaging in duels to the death.
Humanity will be spared if their side achieves 7 victories in the competition.
If humans lose, the gods will decide that humans are irredeemable and must go extinct.

(https://i.ibb.co/L0GrycN/Candidate.jpg)

Those were the fighters from both human and god's side,
though there are some changes later in the middle of the story,
Buddha (who's a good friend of Confucius, Socrates, and Jesus) betrayed the gods and supported humans instead.
Hades also become one of the fighters from the god's side later replacing Buddha.

19 Unique & Bizarre Characters - An assassin who fights with their hair? A yo-yo-slinging bounty hunter? A corpse possessed by a sentient shadow? It wouldn't be Guilty Gear without them!
The varied designs and playstyles of #Reload's sizable cast provide hours of entertainment... but if that isn't enough for you, there may be even more fighters hidden away, waiting to be uncovered.

You meant MCU, right?
Yeah, though they could always make a midquel like Wolverine in Deadpool 3

or another variant / alternative universe of Tony Stark like Loki in Loki TV series.

Quote
Daki was a demon affiliated with the Twelve Kizuki, being the secondary holder of the position of Upper Rank Six, a position she shared with the primary holder, her older brother, Gyutaro.
Over a century ago, Daki was a human child by the name of Ume, who lived in the Rashomon Riverbank of Yoshiwara, the lowest class of the Entertainment District, before she and Gyutaro were turned into demons personally by Doma, who was Upper Rank Six at the time.

Of course this is not the Saturn or arcade version of Virtua Fighter 2, much to the dismay of many of you reading, I’m sure.
Virtua Fighter 2 Genesis (1996) is a 2D conversion of the 3D fighter that plays much closer to the original than you might think. It’s not without its cutbacks, however. Most of the stages are gone and Virtua Fighter 2’s new characters, Shun-Di and Lion Rafale, are excluded from the Genesis game.
All that said, this is still a Virtua Fighter game through and through, so the remaining characters’ moves are still there and executed exactly as you remember from the ...

Quote
Yu Suzuki, the father of Virtua Figther and later Shenmue, wanted the main martial arts of Japan and China to be represented: kung fu, kempo, ninjutsu, aikido, sumo, jeet kun do, wrestling, pancrach, kick boxin, drunken boxing and praying mantis.
These different fighting techniques could be played by choosing from 12 possible characters who fought in duels or in teams of 2 to 5 (Team Battle mode).
The fighters, although few in number, were really different from each other.

Yoko Taro, who serves as the game’s creative director, said: “It’s a game that features Sega’s IP, so I thought Sega should be in the game, but I didn’t think Sega would want to see a game that portrayed it well, so I portrayed it negatively.
“It’s a world that imagines that if things were to go well for Sega but then got out of control, it could end up like this.”

Indeed, during this match, Moose attempted to taunt reigning champion Joe Hendry by “flipping the bird” at him.
Joe responded in kind by pulling out the beloved 128-bit dream machine and “flipping the lid”, i.e. opening the Dreamcast’s disc drive lid.

Managed to scan the first volume before reading it. In the Virtua Fighter Akira's Fist manga, the book introduces Akira's family.
He has a sister name Aoi Yuki, who's also taught the Yuki fighting style by their grandfather, unlike in the VF anime, named Subaru.
Speaking of Aoi Yuki! In Maximum (UK) Issue #2, Yu Suzuki originally thought Aoi Umenokoji was going to be Akira's sister but was proven wrong by his AM2 staff.
But, I do wonder if she was going to be introduced in the game?

You may remember that a report from Bloomberg in April last year said that SEGA is investing in its extensive back catalogue of classic video games and are currently working on reboots for Crazy Taxi and Jet Set Radio.
These two SEGA games will apparently be the first of the reboots and they are scheduled to release in the next few years.

404 Game RE:SET Gameplay Involves Purifying Sega Games

(https://www.sega.jp/files/co/topics/2023/03/230307_3_11.jpg)

Quote
A new interview from Sega shed a bit more light on the concepts and characters that animate 404 Game RE:SET gameplay.
The “Dark” side Cathode personalities emerged as a result of Sega’s actions, which is why Sega is portrayed as the antagonist faction of 404 Game RE:SET.
The members of the cast are initially “Cathodized” by Sega, and use their powers to adversely affect the world around them.
For example, Outrun Type: Cathode runs wild throughout the cities, taking joy in her speed heedless of the dangers she poses to innocents.

After that date, the Steam Client will no longer run on those versions of Windows.
In order to continue running Steam and any games or other products purchased through Steam, users will need to update to a more recent version of Windows.
This change is required as core features in Steam rely on an embedded version of Google Chrome, which no longer functions on older versions of Windows.
In addition, future versions of Steam will require Windows feature and security updates only present in Windows 10 and above.

It's more Yu Suzuki though than SEGA, SEGA just let him use his creations during his work at SEGA, just like SEGA let them make Shenmue 3 back then.

"The key to reaching high score (3500 recommended once for the special reward) is to accelerate only when needed.
Play it safe, don’t just accelerate 24/7.
This is not an autorun games like Temple run, you have control on your movement speed.
Tho keep in mind that it does take some RNG to pull it off…
Good luck!"

If you've missed out on the action, I have made a showcase video of the event on YouTube.
Witness the VF cast interact with the King of Fighters!

This is Virtua Fighter content #1 for today. Tomorrow, VF content #2 will cover the first chapter of the Virtua Fighter: Akira's Fist Manga!
Really worked hard on that one, once it's up, feel free to share the video to those who like fighting games and extended lore.

Quote
The company behind Sonic The Hedgehog and Yakuza will withhold its biggest franchises from third-party blockchain gaming projects to avoid devaluing its content, co-Chief Operating Officer Shuji Utsumi told Bloomberg News.
It’s also shelving plans to develop its own games in that genre at least for now, he added.
“The action in play-to-earn games is boring,” Utsumi told Bloomberg News. “What’s the point if games are no fun?”
Utsumi was also non-committal about employing Web 3.0 technology in what Sega dubs its “super game” initiative: a lineup of big-budget online multiplayer games due to roll out from ...

Sugino added that it may take a while for a Sega Saturn Mini to hit store shelves, but he seems keen to collaborate with teams who know the hardware inside and out: "I’d like to think about it when we’re in a situation where we can openly develop it together with people who have always loved the Sega Saturn and Dreamcast."

Seiji Aoki Says It’s “Essential” Future Virtua Fighter Games Have Rollback

Q : One comment many players outside of Japan had about Ultimate Showdown was about the game’s netcode. Considering how almost every major title has either announced a new entry with rollback or is getting a new entry with it, did you ever consider doing the same for Virtua Fighter?
Seiji: Since online matches are a core component of fighting games nowadays, netcode support has become absolutely essential. As you know, Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown is a remake based on Virtual Fighter 5 Final Showdown. When Final Showdown was released on the Xbox 360 and PS3, the concept of rollback was still not very well known, so I developed and implemented my own mechanism to reduce delays. The netcode in the latest title is similar in nature. However, I believe that implementing rollback will be absolutely necessary when developing future titles.

Q : Considering how most modern fighting games have started to adopt this shift to more aggressive universal mechanics, do you think that’s something we might see in a future Virtua Fighter title too?
Seiji: I feel like fighting games are becoming too complicated these days. I have some doubts about this trend of creating an over-complicated system and then trying to patch that up later with ease-of-entry mechanics. Regarding that aspect, I think ...

How it works: Tiger Knee can now be performed using a Z Motion followed by any kick button, similar to how Tiger Uppercut is performed.
Tiger Knee: Forward, Down, Down Forward + Any Kick Button
This input is more in line with Sagat’s moveset in later Street Fighter games.

Quote
Historical context is important. In his long-running Video Works series, game journalist and Limited Run Games media curator Jeremy Parish claims the Famicom's hardware scrolling capabilities put it ahead of the SG-1000. His statement isn't quite accurate, though. For the first 12 months on sale, not one Famicom game featured any scrolling of any kind – pause for a moment and consider that. The first examples were Hogan's Alley in June 1984, but that was simply between levels, and not player-controlled. The first player-controlled example was Lode Runner in July 1984, allowing free horizontal movement. So for the first 12 months, Sega actually had the advantage, with several of its launch line-up games and subsequent releases all featuring scrolling, meaning the SG-1000 did in fact outperform the Famicom – if not in colours, then in movement. This makes Yuji Naka's earlier statement true, at least for a time.
Naka himself also mentioned scrolling in his aforementioned interview: "I studied the technology of programming by trying new things, and by analysing what others had created. Programmers would compete within those limitations, and it was an era when technologies would advance every year. You can't get a real good kick out of the hardware nowadays, since it's capable of doing anything. That was the time when even making ...

Much of the build-up for Sonic Superstars has centered on Fang. In addition to that previously mentioned comic, Sega released an animated short last month that showed Fang, Trip, and Eggman exploring Northstar Island, where the game takes place.
Fang has often been depicted as a villain for hire, and Eggman is paying him to investigate this new location. In that quest, Fang can be seen piloting his vehicle, the Marvelous Queen. The vehicle played a role in ...

Many unfortunate Nintendo Switch owners in particular know ...

That's... kinda weird but intriguing at the same time. While still in a sense novelty controller, these modifications make them practical to be used as modern gaming controllers as well.

Heck make them superior to the 3D Control Pad (https://segaretro.org/3D_Control_Pad) which is designed for analogue gaming.

But yeah, genuinely want one. Especially given my XBox 360 controller is drifty.

My Saturn was Japan version back then so the controllers were also Japanese version.

SEGA is reportedly sponsoring an upcoming tag team match involving Chris Jericho.
On the November 1st episode of Dynamite, Don Callis challenged Chris Jericho and Kenny Omega to take on the Don Callis Family in a 4 on 4 street fight. Omega declared that he would be bringing in Kota Ibushi to join them in their fight, while Jericho made mention of the fact that he’d recruited a giant to join them, someone who’s even bigger than Powerhouse Hobbs.
This brought out a returning Paul Wight, who knocked out Kyle Fletcher with one punch. It was later announced that Jericho, Omega, Ibushi, and Wight would be facing Callis’ stable on the November 15th episode of Dynamite.

Different companies / shows but both of them are a scripted wrestling athletic performances meant to tell a story.
While WWE is more on star power and entertainment side, AEW is more sports-based approach and realistic fight.

They even went as far as the "Amalgam Universe" which consist of characters who are hybrid of DC+Marvel characters. Like, I think there was this one character who is a hybrid of Batman+Iron Man.
That would be awesome.
a Sonic theme wrestler would be something... or just wrestlers themed on video game characters in general.

They even went as far as the "Amalgam Universe" which consist of characters who are hybrid of DC+Marvel characters. Like, I think there was this one character who is a hybrid of Batman+Iron Man.

Yes, I bought few of Amalgam comics back then, thinking it was gonna be the next cool thing, turned out they are dissapointing.
Even with dark setting, those comics feels like parody than a serious story.

Having a ring around the fighters, Sonic the Fighter is kinda close to that.

I forget these Yakuza games have arcade games packed into them. In a way, yakuza are keeping these old arcade games alive through them.

I never read them so I dunno what they were like. But you gotta admit DC and Marvel has an interesting relaitonship. You'd think they would be against one another like Coca-Cola and Pepsi or Sega and Nintendo but Marvel's Stan Lee was a fan of a few DC comics and the two comics collabed now and again.
Imagine what kind of movie we would get if the DCEU and MCU made a crossover!

That time when they joined forces was when the market has too many comics in the market from new competitors.
Spawn, Gen13, and Witchblade were the new cool things.
The downside at that time was the comic market was saturated by too many new superheroines with scantily clad costumes in the cover but have poor stories on the inside that kinda giving comics bad names.

As a character it would be cool but AEW/WWE shows now are full of wrestlers insulting another wrestlers with strong language and I doubt SEGA would want Sonic involved in that.

Same. I mean, I've put down Yakuza 0 (for now) so I'm not that into Yakuza games. Just wish Sega didn't sit on their old IPs like they sit on their thumbs.

I guess, but it was still nie for two titanic corporations to put their market rivalry asside to save the business they love, and how Stan Lee who wa soften regarded a representive-sort to Marvel, openly told everyone his favourate DC and non-Marvel comics because he loved comics in general.

True, but a wrestler could still take up the Sonic mantle as tribute. I mean I doubt that Sonic-garbed wrestler asked for permission.

Money talks. I meant people saying that they flood youtube and facebook comments saying they will insta buy if a game company released their old IPs collection but sales number always proved otherwise. That's why they prefer putting their old games collection as a bonus for other games or online subscribe.

Stan Lee might not perfect (example: his relationship Steve Ditko, Jack Kirby, Alan Moore), but he's genueniely a nice guy and never used any cursed words. He also became a lot nicer after retiring from Marvel.

It doesn't realy show confidence.
Meanwhile Nintendo releases another Kirby, Zelda, or other of their many IPs.

People often regard him as an icon for Marvel... though I think it's mostly because he liked to cameo in his movies.

Well, there will always be "Heavy-Metal Mario", a wrestler for the Micro Wrestling Federation.

Other Marvel guys in his time spent most of their times in their workplace.

Because he was a "fan" I suppose. It's one thing to work on making comics but to still be a fan of comics and keeping in touch with the fandom like all the other fans, that's why he is so highly respected.

Who do you think the equivalent of Stan Lee in the game industry? Yu Suzuki?

Yeah, the title is kinda misleading.
The title was more rig to be Virtua Fighter SD, SD for super-deformed, but I guess VF Kids do sound more cacthy than VFSD.

I guess it sells, I suppose. Though I imagine it would had been more fitting as a handheld title... though none of Sega's handhelds could handle 3D games at the time, not even Virtua Fighter.

But what was interesting about the Game Gear, especially the TV Tuner (https://segaretro.org/TV_Tuner) is that you could hook up consoles such as the Sega Saturn to the TV Tuner (or even later-generation games with mono A/V cables, or HDMI to AV adapters) and play fully-3D games on the Game Gear.

This got me thinking a little, could Sega develop an accessory of sorts similar to the TV Tuner but allows playing 3D games on the Game Gear? Though I imagine the flash drives required for such a device at the time would be costly to make and end up like the 32X, clunky, ugly and not enough funding for use.

Just think it's kind of neat that the TV Tuner was a proof of concept that 3D games could be played on the Game Gear.

Masahiro Sakurai's definitely humble, just like Stan Lee (after retiring frm Marvel) so yeah I can see why you pick him.

The memory is the issue, so it had to be done then yeah, it would end up like the 32X.
I thought Sonic Blast was good enough for showing 3D graphic.
The speed wasn't satisying of course due to memory issue and it affect the gameplay but the graphic is good.
Anyone who's saying the game looks ugly probably never saw the game in real Game Gear console.

Sonic Blast wasn't really 3D though. Neither was Donkey Kong Country for the SNES, despite everyone saying it is (I do regard "Mode 7" as 3D though). The characters in the game were 3D models rendered on another computer, made into 2D imagine files and them made into sprites. I mean, I never hear anyone calling Sonic 3D Blast a "3D" game despite having "3D" in it's title, using sprites based on 3D models and isometric game.
I can imagine the Game Gear could be made Saturn-tier 3D games though it would require an external accessory like the TV Tuner. It's just the components and CPUs were just not available in that size at the time.

It is just drawn in a way to make it looks like a 3D graphic and I think they did a good job.
Sad thing is 32X is the one who's supposed to produce many 3D games due its special chip but no companies want to invest their time and money in that due to its bad sales.

Too fast too. Sometimes I died by myself when playing as him because I braked him too late.

Yes, but just because it was trademarked doesn't guaranteed it would be released.
Still at least there's planning for that.

Back when I used to play Brawl a lot, I tried to master a style of playing as Sonic where you not only attack aggressively but evasively as well. This also includes areial, over-the-pit combat which is a rather "high risk, high reward" playstyle.

I haven't played Smash since.

CPS1 Chain is an unintended mechanic in Street Fighter II games that run on the original CP System (The World Warrior, Champion Edition, and Hyper Fighting). CPS1 Chains were removed starting with the CPSII in The New Challengers.
CPS1 Chain is when Rapid Cancelable light kick is canceled into any of the three punches. To do so, perform a rapid cancelable light kick, then press light kick and desired punch button at the same time. Standing light kick can be canceled into crouching punch, and crouching light kick can be canceled into standing punch.

For now, I regard it the last Smash Bros. game. I think that SSBU is supposed to be the penultimate and finale of the series, that Masahiro Sakurai made it to superb that he cannot further improve on its perfection... However, fans and probably Nintendo themselves are bugging him for more sequels, and he probably doesn't want to because to him "how can you improve perfection?"

The only way I can see it for him, if he can't continue the series, then expand it with spin-offs. Smash Bros. games that are sub-par to Ultimate or SSB4 but have their own gimmick or tide the fans over.

From what I understand, Persona series consist of five games and a butt-tonne of spin-offs so he could go down that route if he wanted.

Don't give them the idea. I don't want Smash Bros Olympic game's replacing Mario and Sonic ones.
I only have just the one idea for a Smash Bros. spin-off that will never-ever gonna happen.
"Nintendo Smash Bros. vs Sega All-Stars".

I like to imagine Sega and Nintendo coming together to make a game that purposely sparks the same energy of rivalry they once had in the '90s. Only market it purely as a campaign.
I'm not saying Sega and Nintendo should return as corporate rivals, I'm saying they should encourage the fans into a "rivalry" of sorts. Like the Pokémon games, this Smash Bros. game can come in two versions, one version only has Sega All-Stars as playable characters and the other the usual Nntendo fighters.

Think of it like World of Warcraft where when Blizzard realised their players were expressing their loyalty to their factions outside the games (The Alliance (https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/Alliance) and The Horde (https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/Horde)), by Battle for Azeroth (https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/World_of_Warcraft:_Battle_for_Azeroth) they started releasing commercials (http://y2u.be/DCo3_LclJKU) of fan-faction loyalty and probably more merch around it.

It's also why I think if Sonic and Mario ever had a canonical familiarity with one another, it should be "frienemies", because I think it would make a much more interesting character dynamic for the both of them than "just friends".

But yeah, I think a Super Smash Bros. spin-off that markets the former rivalry Sega had with Nintendo all-the-while being a game collaborated by Sega and Nintendo as partners, they would both make big bank off it.
The popularity of Virtua Fighter in Japan is really something.
I find the Virtua Fighters series in general a... how do I describe it.. a "flux popularity"?

I mean, the way I see it, games like Tekken, Dead or Alive and SoulCalibur are the more popular brand of fighting games... and that's not mentioning side-scrolling fighting games like Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter.
I believe Virtua Fighter is not as popular as the others because despite the first game practically founding the genre that Tekken and DoA copied from, those other games kept it's fanbase entice with story-modes and more fleshed out stories for each of their characters. Virtua Fighter has always seemed a rather strict contest fighting game and, while manuals and endgame cutscenes do tell a bit of a story, they never bother to flesh it out.
Yet regardless my thoughts on the matter, Virtua Fighter is still a popular brand of fighting game. Just more-so in Japan.
We also called it Mega Drive in Asia and I still remember its campaign  "We Bring The Arcade Experience Home".

That could happen back then when Nintendo and SEGA was joining forces to make Sonic and Mario game crossover (which who knows later could then became SEGA and Nintendo crossover too) but SEGA was the one who insisted that the crossover is limited to olympic series.
Sumo Digital even considered making Mario a guest star in Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing exclusively on the Wii version, and while Nintendo was okay with it, SEGA rejected the idea as they did not want to "cross contaminate with the Mario & Sonic series.

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BtU6aS-IIAIfEk5?format=jpg&name=small)

That's why it's really a big surprise when Sonic came to Super Smash Bros since some fans thought that SEGA wouldn't allow it.
Turned out because Sonic was planned to be included in Super Smash Bros before the Olympic crossover deal.
During the GameCube development for Smash Bros., Yuji Naka really wanted to get Sonic into that game, but it was just too late in the development process and couldn’t get it in for GameCube, but they did move forward and put Sonic in for the Wii version.”

You must rarely went to arcade centres back then.
Virtua Fighter was such a big hit in arcade.
It was the first 3D Fighting game and when it came out the 3D graphic alone really stood out compared to the other arcade games at that time.

While it might be the case that in console there are other fighting games more popular since the ports were coming late that was not the case in arcade centre.
It's not flux, VF series really were the pioneer in arcades.
Virtua Fighter came before Tekken and Soul Blade.
Virtua Fighter 2 came before Tekken 2 and Dead or Alive.
Virtua Fighter 3 came before Tekken 3 and Soul Calibur.
You can never forget your first love.

Plus PCs were a bit clunky back then.

Why was the Genesis renamed Mega Drive elsewhere?

It's the other way around, the real name was Mega Drive and only in North America the name was changed to "Genesis".
Former Sega CEO David Rosen said he insisted on the name as he disliked "Mega Drive" and wanted to represent "a new beginning" for Sega.
Remember that while Master System could be considered a success in Europe and South America, it was not the case for North America. That's why they want the 16-bit console to be the new beginning.

I wonder why Sega just want it to be an Olympic thing? My guess by "cross contaminate", they mean they didn't want Sonic and Mario getting too chummy with one another that they're regarded a shared continuity, which I understand. But I'm glad Smash Bros. was the exception and I would love to see it go far as Sega All-Stars vs Nintendo Smash Bros.
You must rarely went to arcade centres back then.
Virtua Fighter was such a big hit in arcade.
It was the first 3D Fighting game and when it came out the 3D graphic alone really stood out compared to the other arcade games at that time.

While it might be the case that in console there are other fighting games more popular since the ports were coming late that was not the case in arcade centre.
It's not flux, VF series really were the pioneer in arcades.
Virtua Fighter came before Tekken and Soul Blade.
Virtua Fighter 2 came before Tekken 2 and Dead or Alive.
Virtua Fighter 3 came before Tekken 3 and Soul Calibur.
You can never forget your first love.

I told you what arcades were like in UK, at least the ones I've visited. Mostly just slot machines and coin pushers. Always disappointed.
It's the other way around, the real name was Mega Drive and only in North America the name was changed to "Genesis".
Former Sega CEO David Rosen said he insisted on the name as he disliked "Mega Drive" and wanted to represent "a new beginning" for Sega.
Remember that while Master System could be considered a success in Europe and South America, it was not the case for North America. That's why they want the 16-bit console to be the new beginning.

I see... do you think keeping the name Mega Drive may had effected sales at the time?

It was Yuji Naka's idea.
Sonic & Mario at the Olympic Games was released a year after Yuji Naka left SEGA, but he claims the idea was all his.
SEGA was given the license to produce a video game based on the 2008 Summer Olympics in 2006.
At the International Olympic Committee, they expressed their intention to promote a sporting spirit to children so that's why Naka came up with the idea to include kid friendly-mascot characters.

"It was actually my idea," he told a Eurogamer Expo 2010 audience, "and I was the one who approached Nintendo about it.
"I thought it would be fascinating to see the two heroes play together or play against each other, so that was exactly what I wanted.
"So I don't feel anything funny about that at all," he added.

Even back then? I thought what you told was things that has just recently happened.
Man, UK is sure missing the golden gaming of arcade then.
Arcade was the peak of gaming since back then gaming consoles still struggle to make their games could be as good as arcade.
That's why "arcade-perfect port" term exist.

I see... do you think keeping the name Mega Drive may had effected sales at the time?

I'm not sure.
Most people here mentioned "Mega Drive" or "Genesis" as "SEGA" anyway (just like they mentioned "NES" as "Nintendo") but US gamers metioned Genesis as Genesis so at least the Genesis name itself really catchy to be mentioned.

The Mairo & Sonic Olympic games I get. The Olympics are supposed to be about countries from across the world of different politics and beliefs, coming together in sporting events out of trust and unity. Sonic and Mario were once rival mascots so having them in the Olympics could be for Sega and Mairo to give them impression that theres no more hostility, only handshakes and good sports.

Which is all well and good, but I still think in-lore character wise, the two would be more interesting as frienemies than just written to just so happen to be on friendly, good terms.

I'm sure there are god and quality arcades in Britain that have the classic games.... I just never come across them. The arcades I usually find were more like exetremely low-budget casinos, with a few arcade games tucked at the back so not to distract customers from the gambling machines.
I'm not sure.

I guess so. Though would be nice if we all had a single name to be united over.

They could make the olympic stories darker to make Sonic and Mario more on frienemies term, but I doubt the Olympic Commitee would allow them.

I guess it's a good thing that gambling is banned in my country so arcade centres were all full of arcade games, nothing else.

SEGA 16-bit. But that doesn't sound catchy too.

The company was literally learning as it went along – and that sometimes meant making fairly obvious mistakes.
"I remember we were working on a game called Wrestle War, and I was walking by the artist's working area he literally had a photograph of Hulk Hogan in one hand and was painting Hogan as the cover of this game.
Mike Fischer said, "you know, I think there might be a copyright issue. I'm not sure if you're allowed to use his image."
He basically shut the door on my face.
And then, of course, we shipped it and immediately got sued.

Inomata's Fighting Vipers art, along with some more VF art from her and Nagano, was showcased in Kodansha's relatively short-lived game magazine Haoh.
Sadly, none of this stuff seems to be archived anywhere on the web, adding to my ever-growing list of "media to obtain and preserve."
Also, Nagano did some art and commentary for the Fighting Vipers fanbook My Sweet Honey, which you can see above. Him being a Tokio guy makes sense ...
