I really wish they could’ve included the Dungeons & Dragons arcade game in that Capcom beatemup pack…but yeah I’ll be getting that next since it is finally on sale. [random thought—an arcade beatemup D&D… if an arcade beatemup Vampire Masquerade game was made I would collapse from the hype. ]
Smash Ultimate–there must be hundreds of battles in Adventure mode…this is going on forever…I’m loving it though. More games should follow its lead… an insanely loaded roster [70+!!! only MvC2 was close with its 56 characters], and tons of “stuff” in there to have fun with. I’m still at it with the absolute monster that is Ganondorf. I can’t get enough of the power…the enemies cannot handle it.
How much do got like Beat em ups? I own it and can say in general most of the games play like Capcom beat em ups ala Final Fight with maybe a few twists in themes or features, the OG FF is still one of the more frustrating games in the collection. There isn’t a ton of online traffic on most days either. So I would say it really depends on if you want to play a quality puzzle game or several same-ish but quality beat em ups at the moment.
It appears I’m in the final area of Adventure mode now in Smash Ultimate….“we’re in the endgame now, Tony…”
I was just fighting a “Legendary” spirit battle again… Giga-Mac…was getting my ass beat until I went for a very cheap simple strategy… left the ring and went all the way to the edge of the screen…he took the bait naturally…I rolled past then hit with the Gannon Final Smash (had it quickly since I was getting beat up so much in the ring) and BOOM that muthafucka was outta there! Instant victory. Haha the cheese always wins, folks.
edit—yep, I beat the final “thing”…that was pretty damn awesome…I didn’t fight everyone though; in that last area you can choose to fight the final boss early if you want. I still had about half that area to go…also, you can go right back to that save after it’s all over so I could do those extra battles later. Now to go thru and save the world as one of my created “mii” characters—perhaps DEEBO from Friday will save the day??? Howard Stern, Elliott Rodger, Nino Brown or Dookie-Mane? I have quite the awesome stable of characters…
I like them but I don’t go crazy for the old school ones unless they have some cool mechanics or I’m just curios. In this case I never played some of those games and have always wanted to own Captain Commando.
I ended up getting both only because I still had just enough for Virtua Racing when that releases. Final Fight hit me right in the nostalgia more than I thought it would. Hilarious how awesome those characters are and have influenced other games, design wise. I forgot how much SoR took ‘influence’ from FF.
Other games were awesome as well. Cool to see the different animations I recognized from various Street Fighters used in these games.
Firing up Box Boy was super bright after the quick rundown on BEMU Collection. Literally bright. Had to squint for a little bit. Game is cool already. Just running through things.
Smash Ultimate:
ok, I fought everything now and made it to the true final bosses of Adventure mode… and yeah, this is like a “Legendary” spirit battle x10000 on steroids, man…I’m not sure I will ever beat this ridiculous shit. Just beating one of them (which takes forever since they apparently have 10000000000000000000000 health) will leave you with hardly anything left for the other one which WILL finish you off. Oh and there’s a “boss rush” leading up to it, btw…fortunately if you made it they let you continue at that finale where the big fight happens…if that wasn’t the case most people would probably give up, I imagine.
I’m also not even sure how you select the other 2 fighters as your backup or if it’s always random…? *ahhhh I see now…sheeeeit, time to give it another shot then… actually that’s not even it…so I’m just stuck with Marth and Megaman as my backup, I guess… I probably cannot change that unless I start the whole goddamn thing over…fannntastic.
@StuartHayden picked up Mifa, Urbosa and Wolf Link from BestBuy today. Running low on cash but might swing in and scoop Daruk and Rivali as well…see how fast they look to be going.
Thanks for the heads up on when these release, really happy to finally have em, especially Wolf Link. If only he could be powered up without Twilight Princess HD lol.
No worries. I know I’m literally the only person on this forum who gives a fuck about amiibo as a whole. But, I know people like cool memorabilia of their favorite characters from various IP’s so I always try to share when they come up. Whether it be amiibo or not.
I freaking love amiibo. I was stoked when I got my GameStop’s last Daisy and I love the Ice Climber amiibo so much that I bought a second one off Amazon the same week the first one came in.
@Million-X Great Auto Heal helped me get through the final battle in Ultimate. Also if you wanna make Akuma even more busted, teach him in the Demon Style.
yeah if I start this final battle over (probably will have to at this point; you’re locked in your character backup choices until you start over, I think; somehow I got stuck with Marth and Megaman…Marth is one of my favorites but it’s been a long time since I played him, and I’m not even slightly familiar with Megaman’s style anymore, so it just feels like I’m playing as him for the first time) I will likely pick Celebi for Great Auto-Heal as a support spirit…it’s definitely one of the best ones.
*I still regret not getting Mewtwo amiibo when it was in stores… I will most likely have to resort to ordering it from somewhere online…something I’d always rather avoid. I’m old-fashioned in that I prefer to buy things I want from an actual store in person.
The ice climbers sculpt is legit probably my favorite sculpt. Just as a technical and progressive standpoint. It’s so clean looking, the pose great. The sculpt is just really well done.
Like…the first few “waves” of amiibo were dodgey weird faceworks and not a lot of detail and not that great of quality. You could also usually see all the mold lines where they assembled them. It was really gross.
With each wave though the sculpts got better and better. I’d say from BotW amiibo up until now has probably the best run of amiibo, quality wise. Like, the detail out into some of them like Ridley and K. Rool is insane.
The Skylander Amiibo are literally the worst though because activision was in charge of making them and it fucking shows.
