World Heroes Gorgeous

Current Fighting Games Fighting Game Discussion

Due out on PS2, Oct 18, 2007. Susprised there is no thread for it.

Anyway I can’t wait for it, but there seems to be very little info on what the game will contain, apart from having ports for each of the games, but what kind of extras will there be?

Anyone have any info?

Personally I am hoping that for WH1, WH2, WHJ, we are given the option to assign the weak and hard punches and kicks to different buttons. While i like the tap and press method, giving each strength its own button would be nice, allowing for better execution. Also similarly for WHP i would like to be able to assign HP and HK to their own buttons too, for the same reason.

I doubt this will be included, but a hyper/arrange mode would be good too, so we can pit any version of any character against eachother.

Anyway there must be some World Heroes fans out there, what are your guys thoughts about the upcoming game?

Also anyone in the know about the tiers for each of the individual games?

Japanese release. Theres no plans for a release for the US or anywhere else.

Brocken is one of my favorite characters. Its funny how he changes from a keep away character in WH2 and WHJ to a much more offensive minded character in WHP. Cross up bombs anyone?

I was waiting for this thread. Thx r3ko. Sadly Jap only…period…

6

So be it, we can still import it after all.

DRAGON DRAGON DRAGON!

Yes I know the tiers we been discussing them in my thread for a while.

World Heroes 2 top tier is Fuma, Dragon.
WH2 Jet tiers need to be fleshed out some more.
WHP tiers is SS Class Rasputin, S Class Muscle Power, Jack, Brocken.
World Heroes 1 Dragon is SS Class.

We are currently refleshing out the Perfect Tiers in my thread also so stay tuned… Josh the Funk Doc and Keits are doing a WHP Bullshit FAQ also…so stay tuned…puls we got some Youtube EVO North WHP matches up already in Video Gallery.

What about the Mid and Low tiers? Also where are the WH2 matchvids?

11

I’m gonna wait on the WH2 match vids till Season #2 because I aint gonna try and get the EVO East vids anymore…too much time has passed by so I’m gonna start anew in December…maybe we can get some WHG action at Dec recorded and uploaded to youtube for everyone.

We know that Janne is Low Tier in WHP. Other stuff is up for grabs and being tested between me, Keits, and Josh really.

I’d say Captain Kidd is about A Class in WH2, along with Johnny Maximum.

12

I had lots of fun with WH2 back in the day playing Ryoko and Rasputin, I’ll be getting this.

13

Maybe i can get some WH2 matches recorded between Crayfish and I.

14

I remember playing this on sega many years ago i remember the guy w/ the giant yellow hands was godtier!

15

Though I like World Heroes…kinda, you gotta admit it’s gotta be the most blatant legit-SF2 ripoff there is. Especially the original.

Also, why did they take the Death Match out of the later installments of the game? Also, the Death Match with the seesaw energy meter in WH 2 was godlike.

16

Ryoko is good in WH2, A Class.

Rasputin is God Tier in World Heroes Perfect.

17

Mine should be shipping next week, can’t wait. :tup:

Feels weird getting all of them so cheap, back in the day I paid full price for all 4 of them on the AES…you do the math. :wasted:

18

wow can’t believe i’ve ignored world heroes all this time. time to jump on it.

WHP gets better the more I play it. At this point, I would definitely say it’s the best Capcom-style game on the Neo (sorry, Breakers), and one of my favorite Neo games period.

Keits raped everyone with Rasputin at Evo…but we knew NOTHING about the game compared to now. He’s still the best character, but there are many others who give him a close fight. Essentially, in the matchup chart, he’s closer to ST Dhalsim than, say, Yun.

The tiers are in flux at this point, as we need to see how more of these matchups actually play out, but right now I would guess something like this…

A+: Rasputin, Hanzo
A: Brocken, Mudman, Erick, Ryofu
B: Capt. Kidd, Muscle Power, Jack, Dragon, Ryoko
C: Shura, J.Carn, J.Maximum
D: Fuuma
F: Janne

This is VERY rough. I am pretty sure that those are the 6 best characters up top, but who goes in A+ and who goes in A is up for debate. Capt. Kidd actually may end up in A as well…he has an infinite that can be set up from EX Shark, anywhere on the screen, and it’s a bit hard but doable with practice.

Shura might actually belong in B, Ryoko may be more accurately placed in C, and I don’t know a whole lot about Maximum.

Keits and I are working on a FAQ and matchup chart for this game, but it’s reached the point where we just have to play people…running out of theory stuff.

If anyone has any questions about these placings, feel free to ask and we’ll try to explain as well as we can! =)

Thanks,
Josh.

Yeah Hanzo & fuma are the Ken/Ryu of WH. The hulk hogan wannabe was the zangief of the game.

And Brocken is a strange mix of Dhalsim & M.Bison with a cyborg twist. Even has the flip kick :rofl:
