>Tonight, in the squared circle:Shawn MichaelsversusRazor RamonaaaandBam Bam Bigelow!
>>11995818>better than MK and KI>better than No Mercy and SmackdownHow did they do it?
Sound design for Midway at the time was so good. This and Mortal Kombat really had a lot added to them due to the great sound effects and atmosphere.
>>11995826100%. this game was extremely satisfying and a major case of "its different on a real cabinet"
>>11995860>half of the roster is dead
>>11995860The Dark Side of the Ring episode is kino. They mention this game hahaha
>>11995939episode number?
>>119959293/8
>>1199700134 (S4 E4) according to the wiki.
>>11997501Is it the one about doink because the season number s4 e4 gave me one about wcw in north korea
>>11997558>north koreaThat one is S3 E4. Go forward a season.
>>11995929Matt Borne (The original Doink) = died: 2013, age 55Razor Ramone = 2022 , age 63Undertaker = alive Yokozuna = 2000, age 32Shawn Michaels = aliveBam Bam Bigelow = 2007, age 45Bret 'Hitman' Hart = aliveLex Luger = aliveExactly half of them are dead.
>>11995818>PS1 and Saturn ports have no ingame music>SNES port has cut characters and broken physics>32X port runs at 30 fpsGenesis wins
>>11998496crazy how much cut content there is like the unused referee
>>11998626Yeah, weird how different the game would have been if they had done everything they wanted to.Adam Bomb as a playable character, Mr Perfect as a playable character, a referee walking around and getting hit all the gime, wrestlers having weird fatalities, wrestlers getting chopped in half.. would have been wild.
>>11995818I liked in your house better, but maybe that's because I had the ps1 copy of IYH and the SNES copy of Wrestlemania the arcade game with the 6 characters.
>>11998854Even though i feel like IYH is a bit inferior i do appreciate reshooting Undertaker and Shawn Michaels moves again rather than lazily reusing the ones from wrestlemania
>>11998854In Your House has that cheap budget look. Only Midway could do digitized sprites right
>>11998854The load times were brutal.
>>11995820nothing is better than no mercy
>>11999142They should upload the original tapes so fans can rerip the sprites, fucking little ps1 sprites.
>>11999297Mania 2000 and smackdown 2 are both better than no mercy.
>>11998854Even though this one did look quite a bit worse, it'd be neat if we could combine the games to bump up the roster.
>>11995860Who's that in the bottom right?
>>11999463Lex Luger
>>11999297Such a plebbit faggot opinion kekNo Mercy isn't even the best N64 wrestling game, I bet you probably never even played any of them
>>11995818Played it every fucking day with my bro. It's was so much fun but really needed some extra modes
For me its in that weird new generation era i never liked.
>>11999535New gen was the greatest gen
>>11999545It was the janetty gen
>>11999556Newgen>HHH>Austin>Bret Hart>Shawn Michaels>Mick Foley>UndertakerThe jannetty gen was the PG era
>>11995929>>11997115>>11997659Undertaker was always a dead man
>>11999460Yeah that would be dimes
>>11998496I remember playing this for hours as a kid trying to unlock Adam Bomb because I somehow read some shit on the internet or in a magazine that said if you beat the game with every character in a row without dying once you would unlock Adam Bomb. The kicker was I was playing the SNES version which doesn't even have Bam Bam or Yoko in it, which I didn't even know until after I made my parents buy it for me.
>>11999629that's why he can do the alucard trick
>>11997659Pro Wrestlers of that era really did have short lifespans. Most seem to die before they are 70. Was it the massive use of steroids? >>11999629>Undertaker was always a dead manRIP Paul Bearer, though.
>>12000232Drugs in general. Dudes were using all kinds of shit and drinking like fish.
launch
>>11999629I like how people are finally turning on him for being the company man he always was and all it took was ditching his podcast buddy out of the blue with no warning whatsoever after selling it to WWE. Hogan-tier.
This shit always fascinated me.>watch the demo play>cool objects are flying off the wrestler when they are beaten>play the game>it never happens
>>11999650>SNES version which doesn't even have Bam Bam or Yoko in itWhat the fuck. 8 fighters with barely distinctive moveset is already fucked up, but 6?
>>12000497>>cool objects are flying off the wrestler when they are beaten This is only enabled for 1 on 1 matches and disabled for other types. I assume you start World Championship ladder, which starts with 1 vs 2. Try international Championship.MAME has a cheat to enable these special effects for all types of matches
>>12000505even mk2 snes had all the characters
>>12000506>This is only enabled for 1 on 1 matches and disabled for other typeswtf is this for real? ive been watching fightcade matches and it seems like it only happens during hard hitting moves and combos
>>12000512>only happens during hard hitting moves and combosYes, and only in 1 on 1 matches unless you use a cheat
>>11998352>>PS1 and Saturn ports have no ingame music>>SNES port has cut characters and broken physics>>32X port runs at 30 fps>Genesis winsFor all of the complaints that could be made about the Genesis port. The low colour sprites and backgrounds, the GEMS audio driver, the need for a 6-button game pad, but it is still playable with a 3-button game pad. It really is better than the SNES version. The SNES port is missing two characters and the slowdown is awful. For a 1995 release the SNES port is laughable, https://youtu.be/9ORHLQOO_-A?t=6232x port is built from the Genesis/ MD game. But uses the 32x high colour sprite layer for the characters, the sprites are bigger and more animated. The voice samples use the 32X sound channels. But the game runs at 30fps. https://youtu.be/Vcf4UFJMees?t=8
>>12000521Nta but huh I never noticed, i bet it was to save memory
>>12000529Probably just to combat slowdown.
>>11998652The chopped in half part I wouldn't like. Seeing John Cena get killed in Mortal Kombat just feels wrong, and I am not even a sensitive person or anything. There is just something not right about it.
>>12000793Yeah it didnt fit the WWF theme at all. Probably why it was scrapped.
>>12000809Just regular finishers with the theatrics and presentation played up as if it were a fatality would be cool
>>12000232>Pro Wrestlers of that era really did have short lifespans. Most seem to die before they are 70. Was it the massive use of steroids?Steroid abuse doesn't help but a shitton of them take painkillers that destroy their body. Because at the end of the day, even if fights are predetermined, like Goldberg said>“We may know how it ends up, but you can’t fake gravity. When you get thrown off the top rope, you just got thrown off the top rope and it hurts.”People give wrestlers like The Miz shit for wrestling in a way that plays it safe, but that guy is going to actually live to see his grandchildren as a result of it.
Most of the new wrestlers are going to die early too, a lot of them ard spot monkeys so painkiller addiction will hit them even harder.
>>12000232Muscle relaxers like soma, coke, alcohol and an utterly insane travel schedule.
>>11998854You would not want Van Vader in your house, that man smelled like SHIT.
>>12000827>>12000856>>12000876People also don't take into account the stress on your body and nervous system to be performing live almost every day, travelling all the time, getting little sleep, still having to work out and eat copiously, pressure to move up the ladder or stay on top, backstage pressures from the office and the boys, not being able to be there for your family, under constant criticism from everyone, etc.
>>11995818kusoge
>>12001003Up yours weeaboo, it was a highly popular game that was very well received.
Real TalkI went to EVO in 2016 and there would be this last moment micro tournaments that would happen in the smaller mess halls.Someone ran this but using the Arcade rom dump on a Pie with 2 fight sticks.I didn't play or join but I watched and the take away was that Razor Ramon was Top Tier and had crazy long ass combos and that Yokozuna was the only other answer to Top Tier Razor Ramon players (He had a somewhat broke attack with a salt bag that had a huge hit box)I don't know who is bottom tier, I didn't see many Lex or Shawn players but then again that might not mean anything.
Me? It's Ring of Destruction: Slam Masters II
>>12001051Why this pic make my pp hard?
>>120010511991 British Bulldog playing Punch Out on the NESLater on you learn from Bret Hart that Davey and Owen would always go looking for "Game Rooms" which back in the day all hotels would have 1-3 arcade machines somewhere in a hotel so they could play games. Davey liked sports stuff like NBA Jam and Neo Geo sports titles like Super Sidekick
>>12001065HIT IT LIKE HAGGAR
>>12001051I watch a lot of fightcade matches, it seems that most player choose random select but they mostly play a modified version called Acid Clown Edition which doesn’t have any information on what changes it has compared to the original arcade romhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0P4IqBAN98
>>12001082Because seeing a person truly enjoy gaming in the pre internet era is now nothing more than a distant memory, so being reminded of the fact that it was once very real.. is boner inducing.I for one get a RAVAGING boner whenever I see cartoons like Captain N or Super Mario Bros Super Show or The Power Team feat. Johnny Arcade.
>>12000793>There is just something not right about it.crazy how they considered it in the first place
>>12001198You just know that they were doing that stuff on the side and then when some WWF higherup (laurenitis or something) came to check on their progress they were all like "LOOK, IT'S JUST LIKE MORTAL KOMBAT!! Eh? Eh?" Only to be told "oh nonono we are PG! Remove it!"
