This retrospect is a$$ because its 30 seconds of info and 5min of crappy gameplay.

Part 1 and 2 could have easily been 1 part, had it not included a play through. We have YouTube for that.

But A+ on the info segment. Too bad it's so short.

^ Well... it was posted on YouTube

I like seeing the crappy gameplay of these old titles. It makes me feel like I come from the future to look down on all the old technology.

@3

Footage yes. An entire play through? Really boring.

I like seeing the old games too. Hell, I was there when they came out! But in a documentary/retrospective people usually appreciate information, pacing and good narration.

This is basically just an arcade play through.

God I wish some of you would just die.

Either watch or don't. Please stop complaining.

Hi, I'm random stream/front page monster. I like to complain because I'm able to. Look at me, I'm stupid!

That's basically how you sound.

I'm above responding to some of this nonsense but sometimes I have to come down to your level just to let you know how retarded you guys are sometimes.

Shut the F up man... All of this $hit is given to you gratis. Just take it and enjoy it or don't. No one cares to hear your mouth.

Man, I was defending your video but you need to get some thicker skin. None of the comments here were that bad to warrent such an outburst. I've seen some pretty over the top comments on these sites. These were pretty tame in comparison.

They should add these characters in SF, or at last their costumes

@13 Thank you. Clearly I was talking about #2/4.

@9/12 I do have quite thick skin. His comments aren't going to affect the way I produce content. The views, likes and comments on my channel are what speak to me.

I come to this website every day and with all of the great content you find here, there's at least 2 scumbags for every article complaining about it all.

Understood its the internet but sometimes I can't hold back my discontent with all these whiners.

Hey BloodBooger can you do a video of you verbalizing these comments in your monotone voice? Would be hilarious!

On topic though, Im surprised at how much this game seems like the jump off for street fighter. A sumo character with a headbutt, a girl with the Leia buns on her head and individual characters with individual move sets? cray.

i dont see whats wrong with aluppoj sharing his opinion. i thought the same of this video and the other. a basic paragraph then gameplay. if we feel that this was very basic and needs more info then we can say so. take the criticism and try to make a better video. if you think its fine then just say not wish death.

you make something and post it. now yo open yourself to judgement

@17

Thank you sir.

This is the most insane response I've ever seen to a video crit.

I even rated your info segment an A+!!

Clearly you forgot to take your medication before commenting!

Yes, we have the OPTION to watch. We also have the OPTION to comment.

You have the option to NOT post your video if you're this sensitive.

If I was insensitive with my crit, then I apologize. But dude, you've got issues.

"Wah the video wasn't long enough."

"Wah the dlc isn't free."

"Wah, when's Marvel?"

All some of you do is complain. Grow up.

Here's a tip, when you criticize something, don't open your comment with "X or Y is @$$". That tends to come off the wrong way.

People with basic home training and manners should know this.

You can have an opinion, learn how to voice it and you won't get exposed.

And yeah I am a douche when I want to be.

This game was less of a vs game than double dragon was. At least in double dragon, you can play two players and actually hit each other. Wouldn't consider it a fighting game (as we know it today).

Good for you $hit Burger. So can I. And I felt like being one when I "exposed" your video as "a$$".

If "a$$" is "exposed", does it need a "douchebag"? I feel like i'm missing something. When's marvel?

*launches nuke on this comment thread

Not even about the video anymore and just people dumping on each other from behind their monitors. Feels like GameFaq here

@BloodBurger: "God I wish some of you would just die.

Either watch or don't. Please stop complaining."

And then I suppose you would have no recourse if someone responded to you "Either read the comments or don't. Please stop complaining."

Just as you don't know the content of comments until you read them, viewers don't know the content of your video until they watch it. The comments are for viewer response, good or ill, and you knew that when you put yourself out there by making a video—or you know it now.

On topic:
@BB i just wanna let u know in case u don't, that u can just hit those Star's shurikens with the appropriate punch/kick attacks with a bit effort on timing it right n choosing the right angle of attack for each shuriken instead of jumping over them over n over.

Back when i played this game a lot in the arcades i personally love the match against Star because i love doing the stuff i told u earlier, it's more fast paced that way n look way cooler than just hopping around them(n always got hit when she throws 2 stars in succession in a way that ur jump won't be enough to avoid the second one:p). lol

I really love playing this game back in the day, thank u^^

Lol @Bloodburger's butthurt. I remember this same douche timed me out in a chatroom during Canada Cup because he was whining about FChamp and I told him to STFU with the whining and that his vids are a$$, and they generally are, these vids being no exception. Lol what a salty tool.
