beat em ups

Play defensively, don't rely on grabs,learn some good strats for the bullshit bosses (6, 8, 9), a+b when surrounded, watch the chinese.
In sum don't play it like say, Final Fight, you need to get used to the quirks of this game.

Hyperstone Heist is a legit great game and better than Turtles in Time. Turtles in Time (SNES) is still really good though.

>play defensively

Thx for the pointers. Playing with that mindset got me farther with one coin. It's definitely one of the hardest Capcom beat em ups.

On a side note, I thought Tower of Doom would be really tough, but I spent some time practicing the game, and its balance is really well-done and the game is quite fair and moderate (i.e. not cheap). It's certainly more challenging than it's super-easy sequel, but I think Tower of Doom's difficulty is a bit overstated by a lot of people. After about 7-8 practices on the Red Dragon, I was able to figure him out and now I can take him out without taking much damage. The last boss is pretty easy too with the blitz move. Granted, I haven't tried the Beholder yet, and I would probably have a lot more trouble using the Elf than the Fighter.

Tower of Doom is tough at the beginning but gets pretty doable once you get used to its mechanics. It has to be played more conservatively than Mystara, blocking often to get i-frames, attack enemies from below their line to be safe etc

I love this game, been playing it all my life, but I don't know any tech or moves with this game. All I know is the original Japanese version shows the lady tossing a baby down the well or some shit.

Man, the USA versions of some of these games are just fucking bad. Metamorphic Force was changed to only give one life per credit, and your health constantly ticks down. I don't think a 1CC is realistic, even if it IS an easy game.

Capcom ones are my fav, particularly Final Fight, D&D1, WoF, Knights of the Round. AvP. Other games I enjoy are Denjin makai games, Knights of valour 2, Ninja warriors again, Battletoads arcade (not the most polished one but still fun)

Some dude got a 2 loops clear in that version, I think that as long as you are fast it's not that bad.

Is Denjin Makai 1 good? Seemed kinda clunky when I tried it. Part 2 is awesome though.

>>4096567
More clunky than 2 but a lot more challenging too, I like it
