More money for Mohammed bin Salman I guess.
This has “bootleg” written all over it but it’s really funny either way. 月を見るたび思い出せ is the subtitle for a KOF isekai novel called “The King of Fantasy” ??
That account is now private lol

I think it’s chill they they’re bringing all the sf2 characters back as old guys. First majority middle aged guy fighting game. It’s the video game equivalent of all these legacy sequels to 80s and 90s movies they are all about how 50+ year old dudes are still the best at everything
These people need to watch The Color of Money again

happy that it’s good but I’ll probably still stick to fightcade
Hopefully the online ladder and rollback is more robust this time around than it was–they say–in SF 30th; it’s apparently Capcom themselves developing this time, though–as with the Beat-em-up Bundle–so maybe that could actually be the case.
I thought SF 30th wasn’t rollback?
It is, just not very good, apparently–like SFV (but I think a different implementation; I dunno, I don’t play online, this is all just what people say on eventhubs etc).
As I noticed in previews and is now confirmed in video posted today, there’s no red screen flash on KO in Darkstalkers’ Revenge in this collection–which is unlike any other version of DR I’ve seen:
But it means me and my photosensitivity can play this one : ), along with the enhanced Vampire Savior port on PS1 aka Darkstalkers 3.

Battle K-Road
Psikyo (Arcade, 1994)
Psikyo’s second game and the only fighting game they developed, I think. All I know about this is from Wikipedia ( Battle K-Road - Wikipedia and Psikyo - Wikipedia ) and watching videos today.
What the intro bills as “Super Real Fighting” turns out to be a somewhat realistic martial arts tournament presentation,
contrasted, perhaps, by one or two physics-breaking turn-in-midair flying moves, two of the characters being cyborgs
(the bottom half of the roster are slightly modified sprite clones of the top half)
and the boss being Mr. Bear,
who is a bear.
Except for the two women–and the bear–the rest of the cast are dully digitized-looking dudes.
Knock-downs cause a reset to the center of the ring. The first match is against your clone.
Controls are a Street Fighter-style 6-button layout, with special moves done by holding HP or HK; no motions except qcf to dash ( Neat Facts About Battle K-Road - YouTube ).
Endings are brief, generally drawn in a very cartoonish way. Not sure about this but Tyssa, the most distinctly drawn character, has a playthrough structure that appears to be different than most of the characters, in that after beating Mr. Bear,
taking the podium above the blurry digital men,
and having her cartoon ending, it ends in a cliff-hanger,
after which she has to battle through another gauntlet of enemies, and a red-tinted Mr. Bear; they may be harder in that second go-round because the player in that video beats some of them there by forcing them to block repeatedly until the player wins by time-out.

Hadn’t noticed that! ^_ ^ Does solve a bit of confusion I had over Mr. Bear not getting a spot on the podium, in that they’re clearly not fighting in the actual tournament–this was implied by Mr. Bear’s introductory line, but then I was mistakenly thinking the fight was a regular match in front of the normal crowd.

Fight Fever
Viccom (NEOGEO MVS, 1994)
(Wikipedia: Fight Fever - Wikipedia )
Korean fighting game (Korean name Wang Jung Wang means “King of Kings”), never ported, think I’d seen footage of it years ago and forgot about it, 'cause in this video
the kinda football field-looking park
and the boss
look vaguely familiar.
Their next fighting game, 1996’s The Eye of Typhoon ( The Eye of Typhoon - Wikipedia ) was relegated to 3DO, where it looks pretty janky although maybe that’s partially an emulator thing, I dunno
and MS-DOS, which looks a bit more together

Martial Masters
IGS (Arcade, 1999)
( Martial Masters - Wikipedia )
IGS is a Taiwanese developer. Had seen footage of this game before. Shockingly lovely pixel art.
Looks way nicer than their previous fighting game, The Killing Blade (1998) ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Killing_Blade )
and their first one, Alien Challenge–although that one
looks pretty wild
