Foxy Roxy's shoulders hurting after carrying this game for almost 30 years

"The reason you even clicked this video, Foxy Roxy." How dare you say things that are entirely true.

This kinda looks like a Chester Cheetah fighting game that lost the license at the last minute.

I swear, nearly every time there's a fox character in a cast of anthros, the creators can't seem to resist making her a fox in the *sexy* sense as well.

"Are there real-life nations in this universe?!" Yes--in fact, Foxy Roxy's backstory and ending even explicitly mention and show that she's from India and also a politician when not fighting. We even know her real name, Indhra Prashmet.

“Dad, I can buy Bloody Roar?” “We have Bloody Roar at home.” Bloody Roar at home:

Unsurprisingly, that's a big ol' YES on playing Street Fighter 1.

The worst offense of Brutal: Paws of Fury is that it, in fact, did not have a Furry Meter.

I hope Matt goes to check out Xenophage: Alien Bloodsport. It's a PC exclusive Mortal Kombat wannabe from 1995 where you can unlock Barney the Dinosaur as a playable character. It also has terrible AI, awful controls and broken colission detection. I think it really is a contender.

This game deserves to be elevated a rank purely for the name Tai Cheetah.

I think Ivan's style was supposed to be Combat Sambo, so yes, technically he would have been trained by the Soviet Military.

Roxy was the thing. I recall my friends watching me play this and cry out 'Why do you pick the fscking girl' - Well i picked it because it allowed you to beat the game. Roxy was capable of keeping up the pressure on your opponents, close the distance or keep away. Easiest character imho. The hardest one was the bear. I don't think i ever beat the game with that character but with the rest of the starter characters i did. Also as for worst games, there were others lost in history. Pitfighter comes to mind though. I don't quite get what was so great about that 'beat up sponge' experience.

If I recall correctly, taunting healed your fighter, but the healing was inconsistent. I remember the lion would heal a lot of health and other characters (I think the rat) barely healed any health.

I was so into fighting games during this time that I actually used to rent this game frequently and enjoyed it, but coming back to play it as an adult is like torture.

I remember a friend and I renting this for the SNES one weekend, I think we played it for all of 20 minutes before giving up and putting in NBA Jam.

Matt, the video game version of CELEBRITY DEATHMATCH, it awaits judgement on this series. “Yeah ScorePN has done a great video on both the PS2 and unknown PS1 version and RebelTaxi mentioned it in his Celebrity Deathmatch video but we need to see how it compares to Criticom and other fighting games if it qualifies as a fighter.”

Critcom came close to getting dethroned. I suppose if anything else, Brutal: Paws of Fury stands at the top of the 2D fighters (as opposed to Critcom being the worst of the 3D fighters) at the moment. Could be fun to see where Street Fighter 1 lands.

backyard wrestling in the future plz

Wow I played the MUGEN mod back in the day and had a lot of fun with my friends. All moves came unlocked and there were pretty cool supers and specials tho. Only now I'm learning it was an actual fighting game made by an actual studio released on multiple platforms, and that it was apparently quite shit.

I remember playing this on a borrowed console as a kid. Foxy Roxy gave me several awakenings.

Claiming to try and find the worst fighting game and avoiding the Amiga entirely. You don't even understand the *concept* of a bad fighting game until you've played shit like Human Killing Machine and Dangerous Streets.

[Sees Roxy] Wait, what? You say something Matt? Wow, 20 minutes are gone. Oh well. [Hits replay]

Ah, yes. Lola Bunny, Sally Acorn, and Foxy Roxy, the Creation Goddesses of the furries.

I'd kinda like to see a modern version of this game. Only, y'know, with effort put in.

I bought this game with Christmas money from my Grandma when I was a kid. My disappointment was immeasurable.

11:59 No way, that's not true. They were distracted by Foxy Roxy's sweet midriff.

Matt: "I'd rather have a--" Me: "...buffalo take a diarrhea dump in your ear?"

Please do Fighting Street. And don't forget, there are many strong guys like you all over the world.

Everything you said brought back so many memories of this dumpster fire 🤣 And if you're on a quest to find the worst fighting game game, you might want to cast a side eye at Expect No Mercy for Windows 3.1. Words can't do it justice, I promise.

Wait, Foxy Roxy is a real character from a real game? I remember seeing her in a MUGEN screenshot when I was in High School but I thought that was just a fever dream...

Missed opportunity to call it "Brutal Paws of *Furry*" on the developers' part. I feel like doing Street Fighter I wouldn't be fair, since nobody really knew how to make a fighting game at that point.

Street Fighter 1 might be painful to play, but I don't see it making headway on this list. It's hard to separate it from the wedge between our modern standards and understanding of fighting games, and simply being at least marginally the progenitor of those standards in the first place. It was bad, but it was a novel bad for it's time.

THANK YOU! I remember seeing this game in, like, Electronic Gaming Monthly or something when I wasnt even 5. I specifically remember it because when they talked about it in the magazine, it was about how to do specials and what not. And I remember that wizard blue cloaked fighter had a move where he, like, covered the other fighter ( in the magazine they used the girl fighter ) in his cloak, showing his heart printed boxers at the same time, and covered them up. As a kid, I thought he was fuckign whoever he put in the damn thing! For years I could never find it, and thought I had fever dreamed it. And now, here it is. Bless you Matt... Bless you...

This fox This FCKIN FOX As a kid that damn fox was one of the first furries that made me feel... strange

Matt using a Gura soundclip caught me so off guard

You know what? If the system to unlock moves was restricted to JUST the single player mode and 2 players let you play with the full moveset off the bat, that would be a much, MUCH better system... Unlocking moves in single player makes some sense, it gives new players a way to ease into the game and learn how a character works over time in a way almost no fighter actually does often (ESPECIALLY with fighters of the era this came out, which sometimes didn't even print the special moves in the manual!) Heck, they even demonstrate the moves to you and show the button inputs which is a hugely novel concept for the time! But it's the fact that it carries over to the VS mode that ruins it entirely, and it doesn't help that the AI has access to a full moveset from the start either... Game would still stink even if they did it this way but it would have made the Move Unlocking System a novel little idea rather than a hinderance...

To be fair about Ivan... there was Wojtek, the War Fighting Bear. Except he fought for Poland, not for the Soviet Union.

Cool neat ost easter eggs. Using Panda's/Kuma's , King's and Alex/Roger's theme. They are all animals :D Also, yeah please play Fighting Street, where the harder you hit the button, the heavier the attack. Good luck doing a hadoken :D

You know, I've always liked how Shaq Fu looked. The OG game had a nice style.

I really hope you end up playing Human Killing Machine or Dangerous Streets eventually in this series.

All I remember from this game was Ivan could KO anyone in 3 hits. His damage was stupid high and I beat the game with just a few well placed hits each round.

The only thing I remember from this game is Foxy Loxy becausw a fanart of her constatly featured in Kitty 706 videos "i'll send my condolences to your kangaroo wife"

So Beast's Fury but not a scam.

Looks like KZfaq refused my comment - cause of the link maybe. I hosted the mugen Brutal remake. It was never finished and I lost touch with the creator, so eventually I took it down. After watching this video yesterday, I put the domain back up with the last WIP that was published - it's incomplete but playable, though you'll need DOSBox. Same URL as before.

Capstone? *Civvie11 fans thunder in like Casali opened his locker full of Revenants*

I did like it then, though it was just my love of anthro critters that got me to push past how it didn't really work. I had it on the Sega CD first, the earning your special moves made me not care to even try and use them. Then I got the PC version of Unleashed and never could play it as for some reason the controls would be upside down on a controller.

… the positioning of that statue’s leg on the jungle level is really something special.

I got a game that might be even worse: Rise of the Robots.

How long until the Kinect gets dragged out I wonder. We know Fighter's Within is due at some point.

Maybe this game has that Furry Meter that Justin Wong was talking about? Oh, Matt beat me to it. Fair play, McMuscles, point to you.

After BPOF failed, Tai-Cheetah took his outfit and straw hat out and went to work as the mascot of Cheetos. He never looked back ever since.

The thing is, I kind of love the design of this game. Yes it "looks like crap", and its complete terrible to play But I think I'd probably play this and like it if it had a battery save option to unlock everyone's powers. Needs to develop for 10 more years

I have the unfortunate displeasure of playing brutal Paws of Fury. And let me tell you right now as a fourteen-year-old kid it was absolutely AWFUL.

I remember playing this on the Sega Channel. Given I wasn't paying anything extra for the game, I found it acceptable, but even at the time I thought that the having to unlock your moves was BS. If The AIs only gained a move when you did, that would have been one thing. I probably have some of those codes in the rubbermaid tub that my mother and I filled with games and cheat codes, though...

I remember playing this as a kid. At least it's not Rise of the Robots, right? Yeah... I feel confident in that.

The Fury meter from Shaq-Fu, I mean furry meter foreshadowed this game.

Yes, Matt, please play SF1! :)

NGL I actually grew up playing this game when I was a kid and it was my favorite fighting game (even more so than Mortal Kombat). So, while I agree it wasn't the best fighting game out there, I still enjoy it a lot.

The Worst Fighting Game? Rumble Fighter - and I can say this as someone who designed content for it.

I mean, this sounds like an interesting concept! A fighting game with a roster of anthropomoric animal characters(That has nothing to do with Sonic)? Honestly, I'm impressed this isn't one of those cult classic games, or at least one of those games that fall into the catagory of "Only hardcore furries remember this exists".(I'm not judging.) Hell, a part of me wants to see if someone can crowdfund and make like an HD remake, or sequel to this!(Or at the very least; put Foxy Roxy in smash, if Sakurai won't promote Krystal to playable.)

Not only did they only add just one voice, but did you notice that it's just a clip of Bolo from 'Enter the Dragon' shouting "Dah"?

“I’d rather play Street Fighter 1”. OOF. A more insulting statement has rarely been uttered about a fighting game.

You know, in this day and age were even bubsy bobcat can get a revival, I'm surprised nobody's tried picking up brutal paws of fury and remaking it to look like primal rage, giving it the combos that it desperately needs, and taking away the leveling system where your level ups are your special attacks. I would not be against brutal paws of fury coming back if it had those problems fixed.

16:07 I totally thought Kendo Coyote was pointing a gun at his opponent lol

Apparently, there’s an animated movie called Paws of Fury, with Michael Cera, but that’s a completely different thing and has nothing to do with this game.

First thing that popped into my head was that ad. It's engrained into my mind.

At some point in this series Matt is going to have to face Dangerous Streets on the CD32. For that he has my sympathy.

The bear is extremely over balanced and I would always pick that character when I played it with others. There was one move thst would take off a huge chunk of health. It ended up becoming both choosing the same character to cheese the game.

What's even funnier about Kendo Coyote is that (for those who don't know) kendo is Japanese (bamboo) sword fencing. Nothing to do with bare-handed attacks😆

The unnofical (and commercially released) sequel to Street Fighter "Human Killing Machine" is even worse than this. Honestly it makes anything you've covered so far look like an Arc System Works title. Yeah, I've mentioned it before, but I really want to see you suffer.

18:38 Is that Pikamee? Nice boat.

"Ivan technique is Soviet Military". Probably, his fists are like an artillery barrage.

"The Best Piece of Street Fighter Art Ever Made" reminds me of those Ghanaian movie posters that show Mrs. Doubtfire putting a broom through a man's skull or the cast of Ferris Bueller's Day Off getting into a gunfight

I remember buying this from Die Hard in the 90's. Got the package, but it was time to go to work. The entire time working I was raring to crack open this game... and when I got home, booted up the ol' Sega CD, watching the amazing (at the time) animation... then getting severely disappointed at the gameplay.

“The reason you all clicked this video: Foxy Roxy.” ……. Alright man, you don’t have to call us out like that. Also, I heard that Gura quote.

I played this one on the SNES back in the day myself. I remember it being sorta decent, but maybe we had cheat codes to unlock the moves or something? The most "Unique" thing I remember, at least for this version, was each character had "kata" moves, which were basically automated combos of moves. I believe that got us through a lot of the AI matches.

Yes! Play sf1. It’s amazing Capcom released 72628 SF2 versions, but never cared to release a “SF1: not trash edition”.

I really want to do tattoo assassin Mat. And somehow make Max bet part of one the episode, if you can.

Awww, you did the SNES version! I was hoping for the SegaCD version and that sweet sweet big beat soundtrack! Of course, you'd have to play it on SegaCD...

Between the password/move grinding nonsense and playing this on the Sega CD, where this game took its sweet time loading, this game was one of the worst fighting game experiences that I had as a kid. It’s a shame, cuz a fighting game with funny animals could be good, especially if it didn’t take itself as seriously as Brutal and instead had a Looney Tunes/MGM slapstick vibe.

What comes to mind is this scrapped fighting game called “Beast’s Fury.” It was to be a 2D fighting game starting various animal fighters like a martial artist kangaroo or a great white mobster. It would featured boss battles that transform as the fight progresses but it ultimately couldn’t meet the funding goal and was shelved.

I remember picking up the PC version of this from a bargain bin in the late 90s. I was also super disappointed, which is unfortunate since this was filled to the brim with potential. I hope this series eventually gets a reboot.

Holy cats... You just reminded me that I owned the PC Street Fighter 2. That was... A game.

6:37 that gura voice of saying booba caught me off guard XD

There was a fighting game for MS-DOS my parents bought me as a kid called "Xenophage," by Apogee, just before they did Duke Nukem 3D. It has pre-rendered sprites of horrific 3D models, and a laughably bad CG opening. Might be good for this series.

I can't help but notice one of the fighters looks like Chester Cheetah and I can't unsee it.

I had the SNES version. I'm so glad someone finally put the spotlight on how _bad_ this game is. Thanks Matt. I am very much interested in seeing you weigh in on Street Fighter 1. For the record, you stated here that you would rather play that than Brutal. I agree with that sentiment, but SF1 still deserves a closer look.

I used to play the crap out of this. Still not the worst. For that, my vote goes to Battle Beast for the PC (TRUST ME, it's absolutely horrible).

This game reminds me a lot of Eternal Champions in a bad way. The Genesis version makes you swap between punch and kick. The ending is just really dry text ....that's honestly it I just wanted to remember Eternal Champions again

This series remains such a fun time :)

I played this game as a kid i tought it was ok....but there si a thing ill let out off my system: Damn i hated fighting the rat so much! That cheap boxing one always cornering me.

Furry Meter sadly not included.

gosh, I remember having this game when I was 7 years old but it was reskinned by some russian pirates into "kung fu panda the game" and I was confused why there were all these characters that didn't appear in the film

If you’re going to do the first Street Fighter, you should talk to Maximillian. He has plenty of experience with that…thing.

"Shadow: War of Succession" is the worst fighting game ever made.

My first fighting game as a child !

Wow. I played this as a kid and I remember getting so mad that I could never pull off any of the special moves. I remember even finding a gaming magazine and reading the special moves and trying to input them and they just didn't work. I learned today from this video that I had to unlock them, use a password on the character select screen, then I could use them? That's absolutely insane. Like absolutely bonkers. Whoever came up with that idea I hope never worked on another game again. If this had a save game feature it wouldn't be as bad, replayability as you said, but using a password each and every time you selected your character is maddening.

I love how he plays Kuma's Tekken 2 theme at around: 10:47 and then Kuma's Tekken 3 theme at: 11:50 and then Roger's Tekken 2 theme at: 13:27 and then King's Tekken 2 theme at: 14:45

The greatest surprise of it all? They only had one female furry fanservice character.

The word mechanics rolls across the screen. My brain after seeing only the M and E: "Ah yes, the memes, the most important part of a fighting game"
