“It’s Sephiroth’s head on Gackt’s body.” Ah. No wonder why he was always my favorite. Years later, mystery solved.

Bloody roar needs to come back.

"Is there any character in Japan that has a long red coat, that doesn't have blonde or silver hair?" Alucard from Hellsing. Red coat, black hair.

Opossum guy who does drunken fist, complete with falling to the ground/playing dead, and drunken stumbling into a stance with his back to the opponent which sets up for prehensile tail throws.

If they made a reboot of this game...I would play nothing else.

My favorite running joke in this series is "and in the back of this stage you can see another game happening"

IIRC, Uriko was the boss of the first game (with a much different form). She was experimented on, and that's why she's half-beast. Also my buddy and I would love using the gorilla dude in the first game, but we could only beastorize when his little top hat was knocked off (because that would make him rage in our head canon.)

I'm glad I'm not the only one that always thought that Xion looked like Maximillion Pegasus LOOOOL!!

Bloody roar 2 guys. That's the best of the series by far.

Does anyone ever think Xion looks a little like Dante?

"is there any character in Japan with a long red coat and no blonde or silver hair?" Fucking Alucard you shmucks.

Totally called this at work tonight, thinking to myself 'Wonder what FNF is gonna be? Hmm, they are fans of Bloody Roar and Rival School, probably one of those.'

"That's Sephiroth's head on Gackt's body" I'm surprised these guys even know who Gackt is, or rather, still remember Gackt. I feel like he hasn't been relevant since 2003

Dude animorphs was sick. I think someone actually shit out an alligator in one of the episodes but I could be wrong.

Bringing this game back and getting 8ing to do it is the only way Konami gets another chance in my book.

Poor Hudson, they are long gone ;__;

Hooray Bloody Roar! My favorite 3D fighter series! But...oh egad so many corrections to make. Time for the Inevitable Fanboy Correction List No One Will Read: - There actually ARE shark zoanthropes! In the Aquarium/Cathedral stage, knock your opponent into that hole and the next round will begin in a red room full of shark zoanthropes. - Uriko's throw CAN connect. She grabs the opponent and spins them, dizzying them. She's also considered one of the best characters in the game. - Beastorizer is only the US name of the arcade Bloody Roar 1. The name was changed for Arcades because it was too violent then changed back for home consoles because Bloody Roar was a far more marketable name. - Bloody Roar 2 DID get an arcade release. Supposedly there's an arcade version of 3 but I've seen no proof of it's existance. - There IS an Animorphs game on PS1. - Though Primal Fury is an enhanced port of 3, it has a different story and adds a lot. - Bloody Roar 1-3 did not have much blood. It was Bloody Roar 4 that turned the blood up to 11! - "Lobster Girl", Nagi the Spurious, is a fake Unborn (Spurious means counterfeit). - Shina was just called Marvel in Japan, not Shina the Marvel ever. The explanation for her name was that she did so good on the battlefield that they called her Marvel. However, yeah, they didn't wanna get sued by Marvel so they changed her name to Shina for the US - Greg was black in the arcade version of Beastorizer but was made white for the home release because "OH SHIT!" - Uriko is Mitsuko's (the Boar) daughter, Alice is her adopted sister. - The reason Uriko is a half-beast is because she was experimented on in Bloody Roar 1 (where she was the end boss, a Were-DEMON). This screwed up her DNA and now she can't fully transform. - The explanation for Jenny's transformation is that she's not a Zoanthrope but a vampire. Maybe. - With the exception of the CG cutscenes, Bloody Roar extreme on XBox is identical to the Japanese Gamecube Primal Fury. The only real addition was the character Fang (a third costume for Yugo). - Stun's backstory is that he was a scientist that tried to quit Tylon so Busuzima captured and experimented on him and tried turning him into a Zoanthrope. Bug DNA and human DNA aren't compatible though and so he became a monster thing. ...I THINK that's it. Yeah we need Bloody Roar 5. I mean the team is still around, they made Marvel 3! Currently they're making Kamen Rider games. Konami just needs to not be stupid (Konami currently owns the rights to the series).

No matter how good or how bad these match ups are and no matter the game I always enjoy these, thanks guys. Also I know it's pretty much dead but FNF really makes me miss the raw salt of Brawls...anyone else?

I think the reason I liked this more than Tekken was literally because Tekken felt like you were punching a thin, lightly wet paper bag a lot.

Wait...... iron mole? Metal nose?........ Oh shit, it's Digmon! Ya know..... Digmon..... from Digimon. I've never felt so alone....

Man... I'd totally watch an anime of Bloody Roar >.>

I still remember that voice going "Bloody Roar 2: Bringer of the New Age..."

Oh man, I love Bloody Roar. I remember when I first found out that Xion the Unborn is of Swedish nationality, my mind was blown. I mean, my main character in this franchise turns out to be from the same country as me? That made me extremely happy.

Uranus is broken, yes. Not because she's the boss. Because she's the SECRET boss. Goddamn she's fun as fuck to play. She's THAT character. Bloody Roar is a cool game, though. Not great, not bad, but it's cool.

I was actually a really big fan of these games when I was growing up. Stun was probably my fav. But it's been so long since I've played it that I don't know whether that's a good thing or a bad thing.

"Goddamn animal people..."- Charles Barkley

I played this game when I was 6 years old. I played it so much I beat the whole campaign in 1 day as the bat lady

That big head mode is hilarious. I remember having the same secret in Tekken 2. Chibi heads and chipmunk voices for the win.

Divekick Mode is driving me nutz.

I remember playing bloody roar 2 on the PS1. Long combos all day, erry day.

12:28 That's actually because they did some janky self-censoring in the Gamecube version, Alice had a really humanoid figure even in rabbit form in vanilla BR3. They decided to turn her into a straight-up rabbit despite the fact that Jenny still exists in the game.

I remember playing this game when I was younger called The Bouncer. It was a PS2 four player fighting game that used the pressure sensitivity relatively well. The only problems I had with it were that the stage camera would sometimes be a little rough on some of the larger stages, and there were definitely characters that were more OP than the others. But it was still fun more or less.

We need a new Bloody Roar. Maybe kickstart it or something.

You know who I miss in this game? Jet Jaguaaar! Jet Jaguaaaaar! I just wanted to say Jet Jaguar.

"Uranus is busted." Wow... looking at that character model, that's like a triple entendre.

"that's why the super's do so much damage, because you lose your own health regen." You actually get all of it back, immediately, as opposed to waiting for the blue health to slowly regen. Supers can be used as much for an instant heal as they can to cause damage.

Also, did Taokaka's enormous sleeves come from Uriko's design?

To this day, I long for Beastorizer: Revengeance. Ideally with all the characters, since they just ERASED Mitsuko and Greg and pretended nothing happened. And also Uriko's weird Super Saiyan Green in-between state never returned, but I guess Uranus stole her BR1 boss kit.

The idea of _"Slightly Miffed Black Guy"_ should totally be a fighting game character.

I know this seems random but, why is there no deadman wonderland fighting game?? The series is practically begging to have one! Especially considering the whole carnival corpse situation.

The intro always makes me want to get a cup of milk, shove a bunch of doubled stuffed oreos in it, wait for it to get soggy, drink the milk, and scoop up tasty, soggy double stuffed oreos

My favorite Animorph is Yugo the Wolf

Four words: Long's Continuous Gem Bombardment. I've been into this series since Bloody Roar 2, waaaaay back in the late 90's. Glad to see these games getting some recognition.

This is the second time these guys have played a game that fills me with such nostalgia. I played the SHIT out of this game when I was younger and I love these guys for unconsciously playing what I didn't know I wanted them to.

It's amazing that people in the comments can have a mature and unbiased conversation about furries without it divulging into hate and childish name calling. Good on you guys!

Is it me or does Busuzima looks like he should be in a Suda 51 game?

Finally! A Fisticuffs with a game I actually played a lot of! I used to play as either Jenny or Chronos. So much fun.

Aw, fuck yes! One of the best underrated fighters ever made. Made my shitty day a whole lot better.

Always felt this was as close as i would ever get to a Guyver game. The Designs of Xion The Unknown and Stun the Insect felt so influenced by Guyver. I would love a HD release of this or a new game on this Gen.

Xion the Genocyber.

THANKYOU FOR PLAYING THIS!!!!.... I used to play the first two as a kid and this really takes me back . I loved in other videos how you briefly talked about busuzima in another video ... Thanks guys for keeping childhood memories alive. =]

Oh god, bloody roar, I remember this game so fondly, my friend has a bloody roar game on his PS2 and I absolutely loved the guy that was able to turn into a raven, he just felt so good to play for me.

This is so hype. Please,Sony at E3 give us a new Bloody Roar!!!

Yo Animorphs was fucking sick

I still can't get over how good the Friday Night Fisticuffs intro is. Hype everytime

Oh, man. Good memories playing this game with my brother. I'm so glad you guys played it for Friday Night Fisticuffs! Uranus, Uriko and Shina were the ones I mainly played while he normally picked Bakuryu and Chronos.

I can always rely on Friday night fisticuffs to keep me awake

I never even heard of this game until now, I hope a newer version of this gets made for the PS4, either this or Primal Rage, either title could be a good equivalent to the X1's Killer Instinct, and it would be better if they actually come out with all the characters at release, instead of having 6 characters at launch & having to wait for the rest to come out as DLC. Seriously, the concept alone makes me interested in this game, fighters that can turn into animals, pretty much an Animorph fighting game. And considering how many animals there are in existence, there's many possibilities for other characters, it would be even more interesting if Mythical animals are in too, like Cerberus or The Hydra, and how hilarious would it be if the fighters can turn into dark, aggressive versions of Pokemon? That will *never* happen as long as Nintendo is around, but think about it.

Thanks for introducing me to this series guys. :) LOL, I just love it when you talk about other fighting games in this series and compare them to similarities to the game you're playing. Awesome job as always guys. :)

As soon as I saw Primal, I flipped then I noticed Fury... not as psyched for the episode but it proved to be pretty fun to watch. Hopefully will see a Primal Rage in the future.

Oh god that furry force college humor video is unsettling

My favorite was Stun and his chain command grabs.

It has been so long I forget with game but this series was the first fighting game I ever played, how I miss it so!

A few years back, my friend showed me Bloody Roar since he used to play it as a kid, and I've been pretty into it since then. It's good to see you guys play it. :) I should download it from PSN again, so I can get back into it.

Primal Fury is an amazing game. I have no clue how you guys don't like it

I'd crush everyone with Uriko. This is my jam.

This video hit me with a full sized train of unstoppable nostalgia. This game may not be perfect, but it's fun enough for my friends and I to have gotten caught playing it for hours on end.

This game really needs to be on psn and Xbox live yo. Its a must buy flat out game. It'll be awesome online too.

I swear uriko is a member of the kaka clan from blazblue

Just make the black character a panther. ...What?

Man, I played this game all the goddamn time with my brother when I was a kid.

Wow this game takes me back. Hadn't been friends with my Gamecube for long when I got this game, somehow. I honestly can't remember how I got it. Loved the anime cutscenes, the music and it is the first and only Bloody Roar game I played. Awesome and fun and definitely up there with Tekken and Soul Calibur for me. Nice to see you guys play it. :)

Damn it TBFP now I want a fighting game where all the characters are different ethnicity types but they can all turn super mode, super mode being black people. Woolie will probably put kickstarter money toward it.

Yeah, Bloody Roar! The absolute best not-great fighting game ever made!

Idk why but this always reminded me of Guyver, I guess that's why I enjoyed it personally

This is my favorite channel for watching fighting games

i wish bloody roar make anime

There should be a beastorizer that turns into a street shark

I'm glad they knew Campbell form MGS is the announcer. I kept saying to myself for many years that the announcer sounds like grandpa Max from Ben 10 lol which the guy who voices Campbell does.

Yes Bloody Roar! this was my freakin childhood dude! Me and my cousin would spend hours upon hours just playing our finger prints off with this game

One of my favorite games ever. The unborn is so fucking cool!

man fuck everything Stun is the shit. i want him in all the fighting games

I'm super glad you guys are playing this. Stun and Jenny were always my favorites ermergersh.

The idea of all fighting games happening at the same stage sounds really awesome.

I need a hd remade for this game

gado looks like the mercenary from disaster.

"Uranus is busted" the term "phrasing" comes to mind xD

The deal with Uriko is that weird experiments were performed on her as a little kid, turning her into the Chimera(Uranus is a clone of Uriko), and this screwed with her ability to change naturally so she can only half transform now.

Woolie, i was watching that furry thing while eating ice cream and i kept asking myself why i didnt stop

ALUCARD HAS A RED COAT AND BLACK HAIR. *CHECKMATE.*

The thing about Uriko is that she was a kid being experimented on by the evil corporation in the first game, and they did something like enhance her abilities so she could transform into a Chimera. But after she was rescued, she lost the ability to become a Chimera, and the experimentation messed up her beastorizing ability, so she can only transform into a half cat beast form.

One thing i found out about fighting gamer, THEY ARE NEVER SATISFIED.

To all you guys out there, is Bloody Roar worth getting into?

Omg yay!!!:33 I feel completely stupid when i asked matt on tumblr if he could play this game and gave me the link. I should've checked first, damnit. Well, whatever! Senpai noticed me!

The Nuzlocke has Matt going through a "backing down" phase that needs to be on a shirt.

Alucard from Hellsing has a red coat and black hair

We gotta push Stun for Summer Slam!

I remember Long and Greg being my favorite characters in Bloody Roar 1. Then they went and got rid of Greg :(

The second half of this FNF is just "Super Best Friends Brainstorm Beastorizers" and I am totally okay with that. Haha.

what if Dante was in bloody roar with his devil form his transformation?
