Episode 138: Archduke of Brawlers [King of Fighers '94]

How do you prove who the best fighter in the world is?  Arbitrarily group them by country and make them compete in teams of three!  Arguably, team "Terry and Andy are brothers and stuff" is probably going to win, but team "Ryu clones" has a fighting chance.  Sadly, King might have been better off tending bar.  Charge your super moves and punch your way to enlightenment with us!

Show Notes

(01:30) C'thulhumon!

(03:30) Cowboy Bebop is great!  And from the late 90s!  Doesn't explain their laser discs, though.  Outlaw Star is pretty good, too.

(06:45) Bravely Second in April, kids!

(09:30) Speaking of Metal Gears.

(17:00) XCOM 2!  These assholes...

(29:00) MASSIVE CHALICE.

(32:30) Who says you can't use a potato masher as a melee weapon?

(34:00) Which of us is the megalomaniac?

(35:30) Post-war economic miracles are great.

(38:00) Venom review! All caps? You decide!

(40:30) Heavy D! and friends.

(44:45) KoF XIV is, sadly, no longer gorgeous pixel art.

(51:00) Power RANKING!

(55:00) POWER STONE!  It's reminiscent of Ehrgeiz.

Show Notes

(03:15) Should really be the Nappa Force.

(06:45) Geremy gives his (apparently uncommon) problems on Chroma Squad.

(17:45) Yooka-Laylee!

(20:00) Konami woes.

(28:30) Quicksilver, the first anthology of the Baroque Cycle, is pretty sweet.

(31:30) Fighting Street!  Such game!

(42:30) Rankings, brodawg!  Renegade for life provides the Ignition Factor to engage in some Elevator Action.



Next time on Last Time, The Secret of Monkey Island!  I don't see anything strange about it.

Episode 66: Round Two! What Happened to Round One? Fight! [Street Fighter II]

The classic that brought popularity to a genre, now, with faster hadouken movement! Watch in amazement as a single combo will do over half your health, while you're just trying to dragon punch someone. Will Street Fighter survive this final fight?



Downlouken!


(01:30) Now the FTL podcast.  I don't think anyone can really complain.

(08:30) The Doop drop technique.  We'll post a video of that sometime.

(09:45) Geremy's been having horrible luck with league this week.

(13:45) Gratuitous Space Battles is pretty neat and you should at least check it out.

(15:45) Our first fighting games.

(18:00) The original Street Fighter doesn't look nearly as bad as I expected.

(22:00) 3D vs. 2D and the problem of positioning.  Whether simplicity is better in this case.

(26:20) Parry is great.  This parry is greatest.

(36:00) That thing we were talking about with Wolverine.

Episode 23: Show Me Your Moves! [Super Smash Bros.]

We crash, mash, and clash our way into our first game on the N64!  It's Super Smash Bros., the fighting game classic that defied genre tropes and created a rather avid fanbase.  Amidst all the furiously flying fighters, there are glimpses of what was to become of this series.  Let's duke it out and see how far up the pile this one lands!



KO our Download!

(01:30) Geremy's awkward family moments.  Also, Zach might be building bears.

(05:30) What we've been playing.  Alex plays games!  Lots of ACCF recently.  KSP's pretty fun.  Speaking of space, so's FTL.  1080 is a snowboarding game of some sort.

(14:40) Fortune Street!  I link to a review, but I don't think such a thing can possibly do it justice.  It's pretty cheap on Amazon, so if you have some friends that want to play Monopoly without the suck, the hosts recommend it.

(16:40) Smash Bros.! Surprisingly, it's one of the few crossover game.  Also the brainchild of Masahiro Sakurai.

(21:00) The roster!  The story of Falcon.

(24:00) There are unique target challenges and platform challenges for every character.  It's pretty cool.

(28:30) We talk about Melee for a bit.  It's generally better, to the extent that this game feels like a prototype for it.  It's a pretty good case for sequels.  We later claim it obsoleted this game.

(34:20) Just... why?

(37:20) That shadow eyeball thing from Kirby.

(39:30) People don't like the shotty.


Ever wanted to know how you could upgrade from being Mega?  How about Mega Man 2?
