I linked to an emu site a few posts up, check the specs there. Also, poor excuse for not getting the real deal.
Ok then, buy me one. 
I just got a used one from Amazon.com a few days ago; its sitting here right in my living room as sexy as can be. Amazon is a site I’ve been buying from a long time and is very trustworthy.
I got mine and played it a bit today
Holy shit is the bear character the funniest thing I’ve ever seen in a legit fighter, I don’t know anything about the game but I found my main already
Ok. My new pc can run this pretty decently. Problem is…it’s blurry. And the sound is weird but I can still play it.
I remember wanting this so bad for Christmas 97 and a Saturn…and ended up getting a watch. A LCD watch at that.
Dammit, I told you to get a Saturn… :mad:
How good is Sonic in this game? I want to play him and maybe Bahn. And of course, I play Jeff and Pai already in VF.
Sonic isn’t in the game brah, just some of his cohorts from Sonic the Fighters. From my experience, all of the cartoony characters are bottom tier. Don’t let that stop you from playing as them though, that’s just my opinion from my play time. Bahn is a good pick. He’s similar to Akira and has plenty of quick powerful moves.
Keep in mind I’m playing on the Fighting Vipers engine, I just feel like if you wanna play VF, play VF. The added effects from the FV engine make the game a lot more unique (unless you’re already well versed in Fighting Vipers, but really, who is?) I strongly urge anyone else to use it as well, it would keep everything consistent.
It’s been a few months short of a year since I made the thread, and I’m glad I got some interest in the game. If anyone wants to come up with a way to tier the characters, then lets do it. I was creating a criteria to grade each character on and see how they stack up, I’ll go get that notebook and see how much I got done. We could split up the roster amongst each other, grade them and double check them amongst each other. After that, we can just pray for the day that netplay is added to a Saturn emulator.
More in a few.
Alright, I got my notes and am back to share more. I’ve already discussed the main differences between the two engines and elaborated on Fighting Vipers a bit. I’d like to say now I plan on using the FV engine as the basis of this research and hopefully can get everyone else to use it as well. If anyone can present a good case to be using the VF engine instead, please speak up soon.
Here’s the criteria I had written down to tier the characters. It’s all very preliminary and doesn’t hold as much weight as a tier list spawned from years of tournament play, but it’s safe to say we can get pretty close barring any undiscovered moves/glitches.
[INDENT]MOVEMENT:
Speed: Overall character speed.
Advanced Movement: Crouch dash, crabdash*, flips + rolls, etc… How many options do they have? How does each one perform?
- Just a name I came up with. It’s performed by crouch dashing from a crouch but not every character has this. Hold :d: to crouch and press :df: :df: quickly to do the crab.
POWER:
How strong are they. This is hard to quantify. It’s basically a reflection of their collective move set. How many powerful single attacks and strings do they have? I would consider Wolf to have close to the highest power because his attacks and throws are some of the most damaging in the game.
VERSATILITY:
Ground options: Based off any amount of moves with special priorities and advanced movement, low throws, slams, different stances, counters, sabakis, untechable hits, etc…
Air options: Air-to-air throws, air-to-ground throws, directional air attacks, etc…[/INDENT]
It’s very broad so I’d like any input to expand or edit it. Once we have a criteria set, we can divide the roster and fill in the numbers. It will very hard for me personally to get an empirical data on this, but I don’t think the game will ever get big enough for that to matter. So I won’t be watching steps and moves in slow motion and I don’t expect anyone else to do that either. The biggest problem is that this will all be very “theory-fighter” until we can play against each other consistently.
I’ll break out the game tonight and edit any mistakes here. I’ll try and fact check this as best as I can in the next hour or so. In the next few days, I’ll put up some character specific analysis that I’ve had for awhile.
No Sonic in this game?! Well!
(walks away)
Man, I just can’t get down with the FV system, man. They float way too high for me, as I like to juggle the hell out of people.
Necro – anyone still messing with this? We brought it out last night cos I’m sick of SFIV and want some side games on game night. I forgot how fun it is. I played a ton of FV (PepsimaaaN) way back then but I didn’t know much about high-level fighters back then. I guess if we figure out anything interesting beyond B&B combos, I’ll post back here.
just got this game in the mail today. played with a friend of mine, we unlocked all the normal characters (but there are those few that are super extra secret, we didnt unlock those). we must have been playing for maybe 5 hours. GREAT fighting game!
some random first impressions:
-Rentahero is totally cheap with his projectile. he is a very solid character overall too. in my running for top tier.
-Bahn/Ura-Bahn are my mains. besides a few slight move changes I cant really tell who is better though.
-VF kids are worthless
-my friend got pretty good with Raxel (the guitar guy). he has some pretty awesome range and he is fast too.
-B.M. and Mahler are hella good with the juggles, but their power is lacking. I still used them quite a bit.
-I couldnt get into the VF characters at all besides Jacky (my usual VF main), are they any good?
-Hornet, top tier, easily.
I figure I will stick with the FV style since that was the default option.
this game is actually really good. The superhero guy was my main.
I can’t believe the thread was resurrected again! I haven’t played in a long time now, so nothing is really fresh in my mind. I’ll have to look for my Saturn but I think it’s still at my parents house because I moved most of my collection back there after I got robbed. I’m always down for FM discussion though, so I’ll try to get it back in a few days.
Rentahero isn’t as great as he initially appears. His projectile is practically worthless because you can side step it on reaction (from most distances) and it drains his battery. I don’t know if you noticed but he completely shuts down if it runs out and it’s a guaranteed loss.
VF Kids are terrible, I did some extensive practice trying to differentiate between them and their normal counterparts and found no real reason to pick them. As far as I remember though, they can’t be thrown, I’m not 100% sure on this though.
Mahler is better than BM. I remember this but not exactly why. I think it has to do with him having longer strings and more moves overall.
Jacky is alright but he feels gimped since he’s been revised so much since this game came out. The only VF guys I use are Wolf, who is one of my favorites in this game, and Akira.
I’m happy people are enjoying this, maybe one day we will be able to play each other. I’ll see if I can find my game + notes, as long as you guys stay interested we might be able to get some work done.
damn you guys are making me want to go home and get my Saturn. I used to play the hell out this game (along with FV) just a few years back.
Bahn and Grace
I’m having sellers remorse right now, even though I sold the game over 6 years ago haha. I hope this thread continues.
I got this for Christmas the year that it was released. I was a huge VF/Saturn fan back then, so it was my favorite gift that year. My main was Mr. Meat just because I liked his bearhug combo throw and thought he was funny. Good times.
From what I can remember off the top of my head, Janet was pretty busted. Her gunshot (b, f, P+K I think?) was too good. And Hornet is top tier regardless of his move list simply because he’s a RACE CAR.
I’ll have to see if I can dig around and find where I put my copy.
is there a complete move list for all the unlockable characters?
Always wondered…how good is the giant hunk of meat in this game? 
Riiiiise from your grave!!!
Actually, I have a question. Did anybody unlock that fucking AM2 tree or whatever it was? You had to play the game like 80 something hours in, 80! I could never do it lol.
This game is extemelry hard to find now, wish I didn’t sell my saturn along with the copy. I loved Janet, Kid Akira, and what’s his name…Janet actually was the jump on VF3s Aoi lol.
