i guess we have to have money match shag!
yeah, i love this game. wouldn’t mind trying it on 2o mas sticks. or may be the 2 payer xarcade stick will do. i think only an arcade machine will do - all those other control options leave me bewildered.
but seriously i could never beat the bull. how do u stop him?
It came out for the NES, but Karate champ without two sticks ain’t fuckin Karate Champ.
Absolutely true. Like I said earlier, my parents bought me the NES version almost as soon as it was released, but after a few minutes of play, it became obvious that an NES pad was going to be a poor substitute for two sticks. Of course, that was way before actual game stores existed that would accept a trade-in for your freshly opened crap game, so I was pretty much stuck with it.
Anyway, the good news is that the PS2 version features dual-shock support, which is a more than acceptable substitute for the sticks if you have no other option. You can also use the d-pad in conjunction with the face buttons, which also works surprisingly well since the game features no diagonal inputs. Still, no Vs. Mode blows hard.
