Battle Arena Toshinden

arghi just realized all gradius gaiden songs are split into 2… argh… why? sigh thats annoying… =/

I still can’t believe Kayin is better than Eiji

I use to have that Toshinden movie, I vaguely remember it though. But I do remember Sofia was brainwashed by Uranus and she fought Eiji, but Eiji held back. It was actually kinda funny cause what it looked like was, she threw a thunder ring!, and Eiji blocked it. Then she did a guard crush Aurora Revolution which launched Eiji, then she followed up with a Thunder Ring which juggled him in the air! That was hot! :clap:
I think there were only two episodes though.

abhi: Forget about Kayin, and Eiji, its all about Sho and Vermillion!

Yeah Jeron sounds about right

I don’t remember the first toshinden having the CD jewel case. I remember it having those big cardboard boxes that PS used to use.

and ay, you got Zero Divide on that shadowhaxor site too. awesome! it had some cool music as well. this brings back a lot of nostalgia. ah damn, THE ART OF DESTRUCTION. i loved this stage music for the final boss. even the hidden phalanx games music stages is on there. as for ZD2, I don’t remember the 2nd game ever coming out though…

It’s not hard to tell from my user name that I was a fricking huge fan of this series back in the day - the character designs were something special.

Vermillion’s easily one of the coolest villains ever created, and Sho’s stage was simply awe inspiring back then.

Man. An up to date 2D version of Toshinden would be a dream come true. Or even a new 3D one if Tamsoft handed the reins to someone who knew their stuff - Toshinden 4 (Subaru) was a bit of a joke.

Any requests???

Zero Divide 2 only was released in japan. The first one didn’t do to well over in the states. I imported it, it was ok.

Yah, I have to fix that, I completely forgot about that.

I want to see what high level play in Toshinden 3 looks like.

Sweet, I got the Actraiser music off that site. Thanks man.

Its cool… Hrmmm you wouldnt happen to have say the fatal fury special arranged CD would you? I could never find that CD to buy it. I really liek kims and geese them from it. =[

And do you know if there was ever a CD for sfa2 gold? It had cammys theme(that was a lot like xmvsf)but i dunno if a acctualy music cd exsists for it.

Anyway ill think of more things to ramble and ask about later thanks.

Well I stopped being lazy and actually looked for this thread!
haha
Match vids coming soon!

Wow, a Toshinden fan base, woulda thunk it? Ironically, I found the first Toshinden (which was also the first game I bought with my preordered PS1) used for $1.99 a couple of days ago, so I picked it up, along with Tekken and SoulBlade. And I have to say, I’m a bit surprised at how playable it is. It’s not exactly VF4: Evo, but it’s an intersting diversion at least.

Believe it or not, the major “groundbreaking” achievement for Battle Arena Toshinden at the time was the ability to move left and right on the playing field, as the other 3-D fighters of its time (VF2, Tekken) were strictly linear. I remember the game mags freaking out because of this. The second game was an improvement, but the third felt like a bit of a mess to me. The ability to switch between 30fps and 60fps was a damn good idea though.

Anyway, there was an absolutely wicked Ellis combo for the original game, sadly I can no longer remember it. Maybe I’ll check some FAQs and see if I can track it down.
