Thank you so much for showcasing Jitsu Squad!!😄✌

Max’s Opening for the Flophouse Intro = perfection

Wow, Jistu Squad looks hype as hell. I definitely wouldn't mind playing that one.

Damn, Max just appearing out of nowhere and doing a Benny Blast!

Good work, Matt. These fine games have definitely been overlooked by many.

Mayhem Brawler looks sick, would definitely love to see you play more of it!

Max's cameo in jitsu squad is amazing.

Jitsu Squad appears to have all the systems and animations a growing child needs to GET HYPE! Can't wait for it to hit Switch!

Maximilian Dood cameo in the actual game. I clapped when I saw it.

The art for the first issue of Mayhem Brawler is a tribute to one of Jim Lees first Marvel art. Cover to Uncanny that features Wolvie, Widow, and Cap

So much stuff in the background of Jitsu Squad, 22:51 is that a pangolin? 23:30 Is that Tanuki hiding some lipstick? 34:01 GOJI! (or maybe Gorgo)

"Samurai Motown" was definitely the best pun in JItsu Squad! That game looks way fun actually

Jitsu squad and mayhem brawler look dope. Wish I had known sooner.

I have actually played both Mayhem Brawler and Jitsu Squad before (I actually helped back Jitsu Squad on Kickstarter years back) and definitely enjoyed both. The chaotic nature of that game is so much fun and seeing the little references I missed before with Fight N' Rage cameos is really cool. They're a small Dutch indie developer who worked on it, to my knowledge nothing else tied to the game yet (like cartoons or comics), but in the case of Mayhem Brawler, there is a comic associated that tells more of the story. It's cool they're working on a sequel now, I hadn't heard about that. Final Vendetta was the one I didn't see coming but it looks cool, too. Really smooth animations and graphics, looks like it feels and plays like Final Fight or Streets of Rage, it's good to see some well done retro style beat 'em ups come around still.

Great vid, Matt. I actually think it might work out that your coverage is delayed. I'm post-Shredder and these look like great brawlers to jump into! That Jitsu Squad is fully legit!

I would be down for a full Jitsu Squad gameplay or at least a revisit omg

A fan of Autumn Ivy, eh? Matt is truly a man of culture.

Jitsu Squad = TEN OUTTA TEN!

Jitsu Squad seems very Legend of the Mystical Ninja-y.

Mayhem Brawler seems to be set in a kind of "Cast A Deadly Spell" world (or maybe Bright, if you are too young)

ah well if we're bring up underrated Beat-Em-Ups lemme bring up Fight'N Rage, basically Streets of Rage 4 before the real Streets of Rage 4

Those all look like fun, but I hope Jitsu Squad has some options for less jawing at you... The boss dialogues were fine, but the mid-level stuff was just pausing the action to tell you something you could plainly see already. "The old baddies are coming through portals!" and "There are more bad guys in here!" are NOT deep parts of the lore that need an explanation. =v

Aaand I just bought all three of them. I had come across Final Vendetta before, but the other two went completely under my radar. Thanks for the taste tests!

Damn, these beat em ups are crazy good looking! im wishlisting all of em

Jitsu squad just got my money

Thank you for this video, Matt. Nowdays with so many releases it's very common for great indie games to not receive much attention. Jitsu Squad especially looks like an absolute blast.

What...did...I..watch!!!! Lmao Max dood as a character is an instant win for me lmao!

10:40 Markus Grosskopf is the bassist of German power metal band Helloween. I wonder if the name was a reference.

Jitsu Squad Tiny Toon Kwondo Adventures

I like this format a lot! Love beat em ups but haven't heard of these three. Very chill gaming fun to show off lesser known beat em ups

Glad to see Mayhem Brawler get some love in this video

The great beat 'em up resurgence. You love to see it. I'm waiting for River City Girls 2' cause the first game was so good. Also, good to see Matt played Final Vendetta 'cause sadly it got buried when Shredder's Revenge came out. Sengoku is made by Capcom and Capcom refuses to make any Sengoku games further and the Sengoku fighting game is one I hope a future Fighting Collection release will occur.

Glad to see these games getting some attention! 💪🏿

I effin need Jitsu Squad in my life now!!

Gal playing Fight’n rage in Jitsu squad is awesome as heck!

Jitsu squad looks amazing. And I've never heard of it. Thanks for showing it

Appreciate the work. The return of the beat em ups got me to finally start my twitch. The last stage of the takeover though...brutal

"Crush or Die. Let's Go!" sound like the round intro line of a Arc System Works game.

I literally thought dolphin was Matt’s skeletal OC XD

didn't miss any of them matt, got em all in fact. great games. :)

I gotta tryout these Beat Em Ups you’ve shown. Thanks Matt.

Don’t know what accent the guy in orange was using, but it DEFINITELY WASN’T any kind of British accent.

Okay that Max/Benny super caught me off guard.

Damn I missed this episode but yes Matt, that was in fact a reference to me in the elevator. 33:35

You may also like "Detained: Too Good for School" it's not out but there is a demo

Love the Ninja Baseball Bat Man reference. Overlooked gem of the genre for sure.

Chainado: I have no idea what that accent was but it definitely wasn’t British. Sounds like an American doing bad Australian…

Jitsu Squad looks great. Really looking forward to trying this one.

Marked out at the Deesel, what a pittance referencd haha, superb

Final Vendetta seems right up my alley and my potato laptop should be able to run it so I'm definitely getting it. Thanks for letting me know about it.

Max with the assist lol

Is it just me or is hero from jitsu squad dressed just like Galford from samsho?

I've been waiting to play Jitsu Squad on console for what seems like years. Not much longer now...

The Jitsu Squad seems AWESOME!

"Links in the description below" I guess not, but easy enough to find, thanks, I'll definitely be checking these out sometime.

Nothing really to say, but I enjoyed this video. Thanks for making and sharing it.

Mayhem Brawler: Didn't miss it, waiting for a good discount sale for it. Jitsu Squad: Knew about it because of Max. Waiting for it to hopefully come out on consoles. Final Vendetta: Knew about it from reading various online articles about it. Sadly came out around the time that TMNT Shredder's Revenge was released so.....yeah. Waiting for a good discount sale for it. Jitsu Squad has definitely been high up on my Beat 'em Up game radar for a while now. I would love to have it on PS4 someday.

I expected it, and yup. All of these games are already on my Steam wishlist. Better luck next time McMuscles.

Thank you for mentioning Bucky o'hare. I have not heard that name and many moons. I was there gandalf, I was there 3000 years ago......

Hello there. Thanks for the amazing video🙏 (MB dev here)

I want to try Jitsu Squad. That's on my list now

13:31 You should link the games in the description, if not for the automatic subtitles, I wouldn't have understood what game it was 41:41 D:

LOVE these games!!!!!

Appreciated.

I love Fight'n Rage, one of my favorite beat em ups. UPDATE: Finally got to play and beat the game now that it's on Switch.

Mayhem Brawlerr gives off strong Streets of Rage 4 vibes

There's one I played on playstation 4 that was like turbo furry, all the characters were anthromorphic, but it was fun as hell and there was a gajillion unlockables, seriously cannot remember the name of it, but it's destined for one of these vids. UPDATE: its called Fight n' Rage! Trite name, but the game rules!

That max intro was hype as fuck I need to play that game asap

Cool games. It's like a renaissance of beat 'em up games. At a recent steam festival, I played the demo of another potentially good game - Arnold Bounty Hunter. It looks more like the first Battletoads - there are not only fights, but also various adventures with platforming, hydrocycles. It also looks interesting. I liked the demo.

fight n rage is also a good beat em up, you should check it out. i feel you'll love ricardo

Jitsu Squad is a hack and slash. It is too complex for being a beat em up. I don't think I will change my mind

One beat'em up im keeping a close eye on is Cookie Cutter, got it wishlisted on Steam, a very interesting art direction indeed with that one. 👍🏿👍🏿

A dive kick is more than fine Matt, it's enough to base an entire game on apparently.

I hope they'll release the OST for Jitsu Squad.

"Or triangle for you heidens."

I bought Mayhem at launch and loved it. The air combo looks legit! Side note, just recently finished the takeover and it was fantastic. Just found out you were part of the team for that game! Any news for any news games from you guys?

I am always here for Autumn Ivy vibes

Mayhem was good it got the job done. Fight'N Rage have been my go-to at the moment. Beat Em Ups are awesome to have on the go. Rather you pulling out the Switch or Steam Deck for a quick session on the go

If your Talking about Sengoku Basara that's Capcom I know of that series.

Just bought jigsaw squad after watching this.

Chainado sounded more Aussie than British to me.

Final Vendetta is a spiritual successor to an old arcade Brawler known as Vendetta. Personally, it had the better KO scream than this game. Which is not bad.

please more beat em ups in 3 game style.

So hero is......A raccoon version of Galford from samsho?

😳....that was the first Cockney/Queens accent I've ever heard 🤔

I've bought Mayhem Brawler, and oh boy it feels wrong to have the bruiser character with so much mobility. Maybe I'm too used to playing SOR4. Also, the defense button, I feel more natural to just move up and down to avoid projectiles

I want Jitsu Squad for the Switch 😭

Picked up mayhem brawler after your playthrough. Looks great. Also waiting for final vendetta👍 enjoyed the vid. A chance to see a game without the narrator selling the games they play.

7:30 that sounds a lot like Detroit Rock City

Play 99vidas, no one even knows about that poor thing, it's a Brazil made love letter to beat'em ups

To be honest, I probably would've written off Jitsu Squad as some kind of lame mobile game port or something if I saw it on Steam. Thanks for showing off how hype it actually is.

Can you play all these game with share play to co op? Ps4

Creators of MB have already working in the sequel, in words of them: the sequel will be better in graphics and content soo i see a little futile get the first game then.

This puts me in the mood to make a brawler game myself: Copocalypse. "In the year X999, a dumb government decides to cut all taxes by canceling all government. All public duties were turned over to the police to do. With the police responcible for every law and public service, madness took hold and created The Cop Kingpin! Cop Kingpin amassed his army of cop mutants, cop robots, and volunteer cop mercenaries to MAKE EVERY LAW LETHAL!!!!!" Then you pick one of 8 protestor stereotypes to fight through all the copocalypse armies and undo the cop kingpin.

Yo Matt have you ever played Fight'N Rage ?

I thought final vendetta was a sequel to vendetta

Maybe I've been DNO-pilled, but Final Vendetta fires a lot more neurons than the other two, it looks really good to me

She Wolf is hot :) Great looking game.

The furry game looks sick

Marvel vs popcorn lol
