Final Fight - SegaCD vs Arcade vs X68000 (NeogeoMan look!)

[Jeremy]

I think he's trying to say that he prefers the streamlined game, which is certainly understandable given his reasons.

I have Final Fight One, and it was horrible, but I've never played any of the other ones

[freddiebamboo]

I'm pretty sure the arcade version can be 1cc, so it is just hard rather than unfair.

And what fun is playing a game that doesn't offer much of a challenge?

[Melf]

Still, the SNES version was butchered in so many ways that it would be the last one I'd want to play.

As the former owner of that game, I'd like to say that as far as Final Fight goes, FF One was fine, but it couldn't hold my attention past when I unlocked everything, and even that much was a struggle. No version of Final Fight can hold my attention very long. Play Streets of Rage 2 instead.

Really, though, the SFA versions of Cody and Guy were a neat addition, but I could never imagine anyone playing Final Fight that much.

[Giltch]

It just seemed kind of repetitive. I guess when you're comparing it to Streets of Rage the whole time while playing it, though, any game will seem bad.

How I love Streets of Rage

The Genesis version of Punisher should've been better considering how FFCD was- I just think Sculptured Software (Capcom's contractor) got sloppy with the conversion.

Yeah, Capcom screwed up by farming it out to an outside company (as opposed to doing it in-house). If the proposed 32X version of Aliens vs. Predator was anything like it, I guess it was better off canned after all.

[piku]

So you prefer the version that's missing levels, a playable character, is riddled with flicker and slowdown, and has been censored?

Missing level I don't care because I hate that level, playable character I don't care because I use Cody, flicker and slowdown sucks but isn't that prevalent, and censorship? Oh who fucking cares if I can't see some chicks panties. Honestly now.




And wow Jeremy... that's right on.

plus conciderably worse graphics & animation

Explaination:

Final Fight, the arcade version, is one of the worst offenders of flat out coin-sucking I have ever played, easily equaling beat 'em up favorites the TMNT arcade games. I don't even need to offer more of an explaination for this other than that fire level halfway through, but add the fact that single player has numerous 8 on 1 situations, as well as a lot of boss cheapery. A shame too, because underneath this fact you have unbelievebly solid game mechaniqes that don't feel like the game is fucking you over (unlike the TMNT games).

Now lets look at the SNES version: hardware limitations keep you from facing more than 4 (often 2 or 3) enemies at once, and the fire level isn't even in the game. Hence more of a "fair" game, and certainly more of an enjoyable one. I never even bother playing the arcade version when I am in the mood for a Final Fight fix because it is a pain in the ass to play - I am pretty good at the SNES version, but the arcade one just frustrated me when I played it.

(also some numbers may be off, I forget details of both games, I haven't played in a while)

Bah!

You just suck.

I can still one-credit the fucking game to this day.

And the fire can be avoided by simply walking in a straight line from the outset of the level and not deviating from that path. Enemies are so stupid that they will repeatedly roast themselves trying to get to you. All you have to do is stand still and watch them die.

As for boss cheapness, feh. Sodom is my bitch and so is that gay sissy Abigail (he just loves jump kick sndwhiches). That tub of shit Edi E gets tossed around so much he thinks he can fly. The Rasta Bitch? Feh, if you have trouble with him, hang up your gamer's badge.

Belger is the only asshole who likes to give me trouble, till I toss his ass out the window that is.
