Why did everyone always play Kabal in the arcade? They do those cheesy ass moves to trap you, instead of have a fair fight, and think they're good players?

I like his post apocalyptic look.
>>3880960
cuz ameridumbs can't play anything other than broken fighters/characters
I lol everytime I see SF3 tournament videos featuring japanese vs americans. You normally see japanese use the full roster and then the americans using only chun & yen
>in b4 "we play to win"

You're playing the wrong fighting game, my man.
Look at you, hacker.

Was not a pc gamez player when the first was released and only played the demo of the second. I don't remember a thing after the hub level, but I do remember longer chunks of other comparable demos of games. Klingon honour guard, Shogo : MAD and blood 2 etc. Aside from the atmosphere and aesthetics like Shodan, wasn't the games of the SS series clunky and largely forgettable?
Can Dracula be completely destroyed, or will he always be resurrected again?
Maybe the Belmonts could seal Dracula in a large safe and sink the safe in a deep ocean trench. Then Dracula would couldn't be resurrected.
>>3880824
Julius Belmont literally killed Dracula forever before Aria.
Unless you count Soma as him being alive
>>3880824
Never seen the Belmonts try one of these. Might be worth a shot.
>>3880824
>Can Dracula be completely destroyed, or will he always be resurrected again?
If the game at least somewhat ties in with the canon Dracula, then I assume Dracula is indeed immortal, provided his remains can be readily assembled and subjected to whatever rites of resurrection are performed on them.
I didn't frankly understand the purpose of this in Simon's Quest. Why did Simon resurrect Dracula only to re-kill him? How does this do anything to disrupt or potentially break the cycle of Dracula's resurrection?
I've been playing the SNES FFs these weeks and I've come to the conclusion that this game is massively overrated. Funnily enough it's somewhat of a "cred pick" but it may be the most casual of FFs until FFX arrived. The World of Balance is a damned rollercoaster, setpiece after setpiece where you have little control. If you like handholding you'll like WoB, I didn't find any positives about it. This gives the impression of tight pacing but it got to my nerves really, and the story wasn't as good as people said. I only started to enjoy the game from the World of Ruin onwards, which may be the only save grace but really, the whole game is hampered by incredibly low difficulty. It was also a step down in mechanics, you start with a class system but pretty soon all that lose significance thanks to the esper system, making all characters the same, just like the 2 games that followed it, but with less flexibility. Way too many characters as well (who the fuck picks mog or umaro?)
I've been reading opinions and it seems like most people dislike the WoR, while being fanatics of the WoB. I may be just weird, but it was the total opposite for me, and by the time WoR came I was very detached already, so I can't say I enjoyed that much. People complain about FF7 being the ruin of the series but FF6 somehow feels more "modern" (in a negative way) to me.
Curious enough, I've enjoyed a lot more the odd ones (FF1, 3, 5, 7, 9) than the even ones. Agree with me, call me a faggot and discuss the series, final fantasy thread I guess
To me it's like one of those games you had to play sometime in the 90s to truly appreciate what it was doing. Nowadays though, yeah, it's the "poseur" pick.
Cool blog. Where can I like & subscribe it?

ff4:tay's final chapter is completely ripped off of rudra no hihou
>conclusion of several different stories focusing on different characters, which often overlap and intersect
>takes place on the moon
>the bulk of the chapter is a single dungeon
>the dungeon is really a glorified boss rush, featuring bosses both familiar and new
>at the end you confront humanity's creator
>they reveal humanity was the last in a long line of races as part of an experiment
>after defeating humanity's creator the heroes return to their planet, swearing to use their gifts for good
>>3880575
>A non-retro game rips off a retro game produced by the same studio
Okay.
I think we were already well aware that SE's franchises have long since been tainted by incompetent sequels.
>>3880575
To be honest that's a pretty generic JRPG ending. The one specific coincidence is that it takes place on the moon; then again, the origina. FF4's endgame takes place on the moon and it came out before Treasure of the Rudras.
>>3880575
>>after defeating humanity's creator the heroes return to their planet, swearing to use their gifts for good
I think in Rudra they actual depart on infinite adventures in space or something
Let's post some official arranged soundtracks, bonus points if it's an early 90s Chic Corea-style jazz one.
Super Mario World
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BexVyL45DY8
Mega Man X
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_v1MOifFLQU
Megaman X2 Dr Doppler Stage 1
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkK-5sxwZ0M
Megaman X Opening Stage
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ll8O0BNogRo
Rest of these albums are also pretty great.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ssm19avYnrk
Judging by the quality of the arrange tracks compared to the original, it's pretty safe to say that the composer for this game was a lot more talented than the SNES sound chip could adequately play.
I like this one more than World

I am getting a raspberry Pi 3 for Retro Pie and I don't want to download every game for every system because it takes up a lot of space and most of the games are just bad clutter. So what are the best games for retro pie.
>>3880409
>So what are the best games for retro pie.
Literally what? You're asking us for an indiscriminately large number of recommendations for almost every retro platform ever. And why does any of this even relate to RetroPie specifically?
Also, you don't have to use RetroPie. There are better alternatives out there.
And >>>/wsr/
>>3880409
Another idiot pi user who wants to be spoonfed info that's in the fucking wiki..
>>3880409
Check the wiki you lazy duck. Do you want us to chew your food too? What a silly question.
ITT games that are solid but nothing special.
Pretty much every Wizardry game aside from the first since that one kickstarted the genre.
So, just for the sake of this discussion, assume that by some miracle Capcom decide to pull Megaman X back from the grave. What would you like to see then?
Me personally would like to see the developers putting some real efforts into lever designing. Since X5 most of their designs bored me to death,
I want levers to be huge, gold, have skulls on them, and have a huge Pull Me sign above them.
i would have been fine with everything maverick hunter was trying to do.
but it died, so bleh
Just wait on X Corrupted my dude

Ebay auctions just seem rigged and fishy anyways, mostly because it just so happens that always, always, ALWAYS the "cheapest" item sold via an auction is "coincidentally"around the same bullshit average BIN price, and then there's fuckers who jerk off the shipping fees to make profit making it pointless even when the BIN price doesn't seem as bad or even below the average.
And ALWAYS AT THE LAST MILLISECOND, YOU GET OUTBID.
Please guys, no trolling or shitposting, i bet a lot of you have suffer trough the same shit, are Ebay auctions rigged? because i even starting to think that the sellers themselves use bots to jack up the price.
I swear that RARELY had this problem bidding on Jauce to get stuff from Yahoo Japan.
>>3879483
You know, resellers use ebay as the primary metric to price games, right?
>>3879483
Wow, are you new to the internet? Half of your problems have been around since ebay was launched.
Yes, everything you mention has been a problem since day one. Its worse on imports, I feel where sellers bid on their own stuff to raise the price a few cents at a time.
Deals can be had, but it takes time and when you find a deal you have to act fast.
Practice your ebaying.
This never shows up in lists of good Jag games for some reason. I still play it to this day. It's both higher resolution and higher color depth than the SNES version. Genesis version too but that goes without saying. CD32 version has the cutscenes but isn't fullscreen.
PS1 and Saturn versions are the most complete, but what else is new. I don't mean to say Jag has the absolute best version but it's quite good, and belongs on any list of good games for the console.
Apples to apples comparison, Sega version:
Jag version:
SNES version:
Why wasn't Luigi in Super Mario 64?
He was in jail for multiple DUI charges.
>>3879252
He was never the same after Pauline lost the baby.
Because platform games that aren't limited to a single screen simply don't lend themselves to multiplayer.
Goddamn I fucking love these games. And that music too holy shit.

Yes!

Who wrote the dialogs for Castlevania SOTN?
Original Japanese or official English translation?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVLqfj6_AOw
>>3878825
both I wonder.
I really like the dialogs.
>>3878828
Jeremy Blaustein did the English translation, he translated Metal Gear and Silent Hill, among others
