And people think gaming today is expensive, lol

@@Jose-se9pu Arcades weren't dead in the 90s. So yeah, it was much cheaper when you could play fighting games in your local arcade rather than needing to buy an entire console to play them 😆

@@GIR177 Dude, $500 in the '90s was...a lot of money. A LOT. And games were a lot cheaper to make.

For anyone wondering how much that would be today, a correction; the NeoGeo actually released with a price of $649.99 in 1990, which today would be $1294.95. You could literally buy a XSX and a PS5, new consoles that came out literally this week with cutting edge tech, and still would be less than the NeoGeo. You could build a pretty decent pc for the cost. Hell, with tax itd be $1385.60

@@Jose-se9pu The NeoGeo was a massive outlier as it was sold as a luxury console - its specs were leagues above everything else and the games were arcade perfect ports, and it lost miserably to the SNES and Genesis in sales. Why? Because no one was gonna pay an arm and a leg for arcade quality hardware when the arcades were still kicking (Genesis and SNES sold for $189-199). Whether $650 was worth way more in the 90s is besides the point. The point is the average Joe didn't HAVE to shell out a fortune for a NeoGeo when you could go to the arcade and play much of the same games locally for 25-50 cents a game. Nobody was buying a whole new fighting game everytime a new version came out or a season pass - these are a consequence of arcades being largely dead, and even in Asia they're on life support.

Marth's grab is better.

@@smashmaster521 Yoshi's dash grab doesn't have an active hitbox on the same z axis the characters fight on. For example, Yoshi can't dash grab Marth because Yoshi moves his head to his right of Marth in a space Marth cannot occupy.

@@Boltizar49 I was poking fun at the disgustingly good range of Marth's grab in Melee. Seriously, Marth's grab range is Melee is longer than Yoshi's.

Curious how a dash grab automatically means it's a 3d fighter. There are 2.5d fighters as well and I think Smash is more in that category. Even though the game is made in 3d it is still presented as a 2d fighter. The way I see it, if you can't sidestep, it's not 3d.

@@Maggot39967 As I mentioned before, there is a z axis in Melee that characters and moves can occupy. Yoshi's dash grab is an example of this as it always misses against characters with thin 3D models like Marth.

It’s so good I still can play it now

DoA3 has probably given me a lasting misunderstanding of how good that series is. I loved that game. I am not familiar with the recent titles though.

The game has aged well graphically.

@@SageSimulant I will be honest I have 6 I play it a lot but it’s down hill from 3 I the type of person I need unlockables in my games and they push DLC so much it’s unattractive

​@@SageSimulant I've been a huge fan of the series since the DOA2HC, the 'xbox era' of DOA is definitely its peak. DoA2U, DOA3, and 4. Koei has gotten really greedy lately and has plagued the series with DLC, and there's been identity crisis on the development side because of a desire to have the game be esportsy and a potential event at EVO, and EVO's endless disdain for the series for daring to be sexy. If Koei would let them actually have decent amount of modes and unlockables without locking everything behind absurd DLC, and if Shimbori would stop putting so much effort into trying to appease the EVO gods, the series could really shine again

Not a launch game.

Real Chad's know it was shrek super slam remastered for Nintendo series 5

Wait, that was an actual game?

@@666slateran666 oh absolutely, great soundtrack. I use a lot of themes from that game in Tekken Tag 2 and Tekken 7.

Wasn't DOA2 launch game for the PS2? Or was it only in Europe?

Tekken bowling!

TT was such a banger. I'm glad they made a TT2.

@@blackmanwhitesuit honestly I don’t understand the hate Tag 2 gets. It’s my favorite in the series. I enjoy it far more than Tekken 7 but that’s because I prefer 2v2.

LATE 20s*

Slippi got me playin it again

I remember unlocking Mewtwo and Marth for the first time, mainly because the game chose to have me unlock them. Good times.

Nearly all of theses games are on ps2

@@ahok1937 And the PS2 versions are considered inferior (and in some cases are objectively inferior), outside of fighting games even ports like Skies of Arcadia Legends and Sonic Collection DX are either worse or at the bare minimum similar enough.

Dreamcast is still THE video game console if you like fighting games...as Max once said, "the Dreamcast is the only console I ever loved"

Street Fighter 3

Shenmue 1 and 2 is still possibly the only story based fighting game. I cant find any others

Best launch line-up in history.

DOA Holds A Special Place For Me Since Dreamcast ❤

I can't believe it'll be 20 years old next year.

Indeed, it's easy to get into. So much fun during my college days

You got it. The game was amazing and the best dark stalkers game because it was basically all of them in one package. I also liked the tower mode, it had a world tour mode feel in Street fighter alpha 3.

It is definitely between those 2 because in every comment I see soul calibur and melee

Man, how could you forget *Tekken Tag Tournament 2: Wii Edition!*

Better than the arcade

Way better than arcade. Go back and play that arcade port, then play on Dreamcast, night n day but definitely no1 in my book another 1A is Tekken Tag

Same with SC3, no amatter how many times the memory card bug occured, it wasn't enough to stop me unlocking everything again and again xD

Was just about to comment on that. Short Circuit was a classic indeed

#1 for me

I don't think any game sequel has improved as much over it's predecessor as Melee did over Smash 64.

@@TakumiJoyconBoyz madden 17 from madden 16 imo

Ludzig bruh you’re insane. The jump from Madden 13 to 14 is by far the biggest leap in terms of quality, no contest.

@@reisjames1 we can hem and haw about which madden improved more over its predecessor better but... can we just agree that Madden is the benchmark for video game iteration?

Amazing soundtrack too

Bring it back! Johny 5 is CGI

As a filthy casual, I'm glad SSFIV 3D Edition mapped command inputs to the bottom screen. It's my favorite SF because of how accessible it is as a result.

That sounds awesome. I would count your blessings back then!

Yep, i started watching it last night, and it's gone now.

I just checked his Twitter yes it got nuked along with KZfaq’s servers last night

he said it should be up soon he had to start reuploading it last night

I get that n DOA2 hardcore as my very first ps2 game 😂

@@hoathim2573 DOA2 Hardcore is still iconic. I always wanted that game when I first had my PS2.

I don't blame you. Melee is highly addictive.

And then they suddenly died in 2004

Which song is this ?

@@alexcrawford3459 not sure the name of the tune in the background, but it's from the video game phantasy star online

Sfex3 is the first launch fighter to have a custom fighter?

@@aspreedacore I think so

I choose Super Smash Bros in general. Especially Melee. It’s considered the best crossover fighting game in general because of its massive inclusive of characters from popular franchises😊👊🏾🌏

(jotaro's theme plays in max's head again)

@@666slateran666 There are actually some really old videos of EX3 tourneys you can find. They are kinda cool. Also SRKade just put online in SFEX3.
