You forgot Wu Tang For ps1. Never heard of it?

Nice ❤❤❤

Also Tobal 2

I’m sure you’ll find someone to play it with. ❤

Would love to see it make a comeback!

Project justice for Dreamcast was dope too. Which I think was renamed from rival schools.

Rival schools was an elite game with so much replay value

Fighters Impact and Kensei Sacred Fist often get overlooked in terms of PS1 fighters. Even Yusha: Heaven's Gate and Critical Blow. And definitely Samurai Deeper Kyo.

Star Gladiator was amazing. I remember playing through it and unlocking all the characters. Endings were weak though, just text. I still play Soul Blade to this day. Li Long is the man!

Tobal 2

@@spirit_gun3869 Yeah, I wish I had a modded PS1 to play Japan only releases~ mine was PAL but it came with many free games since it was 1999 & sold to compete with other fancy stuff like Dreamcast. Or If the CD was patched (not original) to run on my device. The first row actually were included with my purchase 😎, the rest was obtained in later years

I’ll second that, was great to play with some friends!

I want bloody roar to make a comeback!

@@joeyisabsb1 the graphics would be insane for a modern Bloody Roar

​@@joeyisabsb1as soon as Konami loses the rights to the IP and someone gets ahold of it, Bloody Roar will never see the light of day again.

​@@joeyisabsb1UE5 Bloody Roar would be something to see.

Maybe Deadliest Warrior on PS3 and Kengo on PS2

I hope his second vid acknowledges Tobal 1 and 2 as well as Samurai Deeper Kyo, Fighter 's Impact, Psychic Force 2 (and X/1999) and Kensei: Sacred Fist.

Check out Samurai Deeper Kyo for PS1 and Tobal 2

i love me some Resident Evil or new IP even but - it's strange how capcom forgot about this really really good title..

@@fumomofumosarum5893 i was always waiting for the "rival schools 2" game to come out, turns out they renamed it to "project justice" for dream cast... so i never owned a dream cast, but god danging it i do now with emulation.

There was Rival Schools 1.5 that only came out in Japan. It had a visual novel like story mode. Still waiting for that to be fan translated.

​​@@fumomofumosarum5893It's not that strange. Capcom abandoned all its fighters at one point post 2000 and only Yoshinori Ono's efforts within the company got us SF IV in 2009, followed by Tatsunoko vs Capcom for Arcade as well which got ported to the Wii and then that rejuvenated Marvel vs Capcom. But the other fighters? They tried to bring back Darkstalkers and Jojo with an HD port, but those went nowhere, also Tatsunoko never got a sequel, no more Rival Schools, no SFEX4, no Star Gladiator 3, no Tech Romancer 2, no Kenichi 2, no Power Stone 3, no Cyberbots 2, etc Once RE, Monster Hunter and DMC took off, Capcom focused on those. Even MegaMan Legends 3 for cancelled.

Same thing with Star Gladiator. They only put the sequel on Dreamcast which I also didn't have@@AlteredCarbons

One of my favourites too. Great physics. Criminally overlooked

Tobal No.1 was my ish

Same here!

Evil Zone is crazy because you only need two buttons but it's still fun to play

Also Asuka 120% games

Bushido Blade kinda was with Kengo on PS2

I preferred Dead or Alive on Saturn. Felt closer to the arcade version to me. Of course when Dead or Alive 2 came out that decimated all

Would love to see it make a comeback!

That bastard end boss would try to get a last hit on you after you defeat him 😂 He also didn't mention how the game has a Street Fighter 3 parry like attack to it

I think that game got a lot of heat thrown it's way because people didn't like the unorthodox design of the mechanics. Like I remember people complaining about its running system but ultimately that meant they didn't know how to properly play it. You're not supposed to just let your character run around willy nilly like that. You hold down the shoulder button while playing and then release if need be to run out of the way of attacks. Also, like Tobal 2, it has Just-Frame attacks which isn't something normally used in fighting games much, so it has a difficulty curve in mastering. It's interesting how it was rejected because of its 3D movement. When you think of it, it's almost like one of the main precursors to arena fighters besides Destrega, Bushido Blade, and Thrill Kill. And most people in the FGC do not like arena fighters. I mean just look at Tekken: they tried to evolve it a bit with Tekken 4, and that got rejected so they referred back to simpler 3D movement with Tekken 5 and on through to 8. Now you just see players moving awkwardly using Korean back dash which makes the game look glitchy. Or some players don't even use the 3D movement at all, making it basically a 2.5D game (3D character models moving on a 2D plane which is basically what Street Fighter and Guilty Gear are now). When you think of it, PS2's Urban Reign by Namco would be what Tekken would have evolved to if they didn't abandon developing and evolving the 3D movement.

Ridge Racer, Ridge Racer Evolution, Rage Racer, Tokyo Highway Racer and Ray Tracers are hard to get back into, but R4 Ridge Racer, Gran Turismo 2, Option still hold up. Also Silent Bomber, Rising Zan: Samurai Gunman, Tenchu and Trap Gunner for 3D action games as well. Certainly the older Resident Evil 1 & 2 games, Galarians, T.R.A.G., Vampire Hunter D, Countdown Vampires, Overblood 2, get a mixed response now due to newer games not liking tank controls. Actually I don't think Countdown Vampires was ever liked 😂

Kensei is super underrated. Also Tobal. Their grapple/reversal system is way more developed than Tekken's or Virtua Fighter's. I do wish Konami never cancelled Fighting Bujitsu for arcade though. That looked like a serious 3D fighter contender. Also Fighting Layer and Battle Tryst never got ported and SNK lost all the source code for Buriki One and both Samurai Shodown 64 games... There's also Taito's Fighters Impact for arcade/PS1 which was very good and Atlus Yusha: Heaven's Gate which I liked (and it had unlockable guest character Kurara from the Power Instinct fighting game series.) and Critical Blow. Star Gladiator by Capcom was also good. Fun fact: it originally was supposed to be a Star Wars fighting game, but Lucasarts pulled the plug and made their own, so Capcom took the remaining assets and reworked it into their own fighting game. That's why the main guy uses a lightsaber, the end boss looks like Darth Vader, and there's a character that looks like a Wookie 😅

Best N64 fighter was Fighter 's Destiny 2.

I also prefer ps1 over Saturn because the games I like more on only on ps1. That being said, if I were to give an unbiased opinion and not a personal one, its the Sega Saturn.

Happy new year to you too!

All those games I got on my Raspberry Pi which I remember buying for about $50 five or so years ago. Now I look it up and they go for damn near $300 wtf happened lol

Same, I loved this game and still love it. I actually started a mini tournament at my Troop's Boy Scout Christmas party probably in 2011 iirc.

@@haloslayer255 Nice! I bet that was a blast. I need to play it again, it's been years for me.

Yeah oddly enough, Namco of all companies published it for arcade first and the Final Fantasy characters in the original arcade version were Cloud, Sephiroth and Tifa, and they were time released within the internal clock of the arcade cabinet, much like how Tekken 2 arcade version did that as well (can't remember if Tekken 3 arcade did that too). When Ergheiz got ported to the PS1, Squaresoft published it then they added Luffy and Vincent. The game was developed by Dreamfactory who had also made Tobal #1 (which had come with a Final Fantasy VII demo disc with it in 1996) and it's sequel Tobal 2 which only got released in Japan (dumb mistake imo), and Dreamfactory was headed by Seichi Ishii, who was the designer for the first Virtua Fighter game and director of the first Tekken game. That's why Tobal and Ergheiz share a lot of DNA with Tekken and VF

The practice mode background music.... 🎵 🎶 🔥

It also had connection to the Sony Pocketstation (at least the JPN version I had did) so you could play on the go like Tamogotchi.

I got Dominated Mind on my Pi4 along with Fatal Fury: Wild Ambition (NEVER give up game over screen when fighting Geese at the end will be forever etched into my brain lol 😢)

Glad the video helped out!

Agreed but fighting games live and die on community and tournaments now so risk is not rewarded with ROI

You haven't played a lot of "modern" fighting games, have you?

​@@DarkOverlord96Yup, the OP sounds like they must have dropped off of fighting games long ago if they feel this way about current fighting games because creating your own unique combos and ways of winning is exactly what newer fighting games do, more than ever before even!

I collect fighting games, I currently own every big hitter and the most unique fighting games made including every single game on this list. Fighting games hit a pretty low point during the ps3/wii/Xbox 360 gen which im assuming this is what you're basing this opinion off of. Current fighting games are not only friendlier than ever before for newcomers with many notoriously difficult games becoming easier for newcomers, they also allow the most creative freedom in terms of combos than ever before. The fact that this is one of the most liked comments makes me sad that most seem to be lost in the nostalgia of older fighting games but never actually kept up with them to see that they are better than ever.

@@joeyisabsb1 I think you misunderstood what I was saying. I didn’t say that modern fighting games are trash or didn’t get better . A lot of the news ones are good. What I am pointing out is that it not too many of them doesn’t do much or anything new to stand out because developers are afraid to make it original. It’s not nostalgia that makes me say this and I think fighting games is bigger more than ever. I’m pointing out how different it is compared to now. During the Xbox 360/ PlayStation 3 and Wii, fighting games was on the high because of Street fighter IV. That’s why a lot of popular ones got franchises like Mortal Kombat, Soul Calibur, Tekken, and etc revived because of it.

I have that game and it's fun but man those story cut scenes are very good at putting me to sleep

​@@omegaweapon116it was the first time a fighting game actually tried to put effort into their story mode 😂

There's a part 2 coming

Toshinden 3 didn't get a lot of love back in the day. It got overshadowed by Soul Blade and even Star Gladiator.

@@budgiecat9039 Totally agree by the way we spend a lot of time playing Star Gladiator and Soul Blade back in the day.

@@eljugadorescaldenc4002 I have Soul Caliber 2 HD Online too (cause it's got Spawn also you can unlock a legend of Valkyrie outfit for Cassandra though it takes a while) So yeah Soul Blade, Star Gladiator, and of plenty of Battle Arena Toshinden. Though I do like how Battle Arena Toshinden URA for Saturn looks on my Trinitron. Toshinden always did get respect for having first 3D fighting game with actual 3D movement,, even though it was limited to just a dodge roll evade.

Back to two a week now 🙂

Honestly Breaker's Revenge, Fatal Fury Dominated Mind, KoF, gave SF a run for its money quality wise. Also Power Instinct series.

There's also Samurai Deeper Kyo for PS1 which beats out Inuyasha and gives Last Blade and Samurai Shodown a run for its money imo. Asuka 120% series is super underrated though yeah.
