+Sauron Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 ^ Killer Instinct was nice because it meshed the best of the most-popular fighters of the time (Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter) and added its own style and elements on top.. Yes, if you consider ultra hyper combos that can win a fight in one long sequence of 50-odd button presses as its own "styles and elements".

bloodreptile Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 I don't think the D-pad on the jagpad lends itself well to a fighting game, it hurts too much to try and pull off special moves. I did unlock all the characters on Kasumi Ninja when I bought it back in the day and played it to death.. I think I may even have worn the headband to college on occasion! Back then it was awesome, now it looks and feels very dated.. I personally don't like motion captured fighting games they feel rough to me, hence I much prefer Street Fighter 2 over MK. I am glad that I was not the only person who wore that head band! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunstar Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 All fighters are rip-offs of the original Karate Master, the first 2 Player martial arts fighter. My favorite still to this day is World Karate Champ(US name) that was released for the C64/800 back in the day. I had plenty of fun with KN and UV though, too, as well as MK on the genny before that. I don't play new fighter games at all any more, the last were dead or alive and soul caliber on the DC. I ONLY ever play the Jaguar fighters anymore, at all. Probably purely for nostalgia, but I do have fun with them still, something I can't have with newer fighters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtshark7 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 The new Mortal Kombat for PS3 and X360 is pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Manhattan Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Every year my friends and I get together for a 3 day, retro gaming marathon. We do lots of competitions. The winners get prizes, the loser is forced to wear the "Kasumi Ninja headband of shame." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
