With the compilation coming soon I figured why not get some discussion for those little few that play it. Like about Dragon’s infinite in 1 and 2, about how Ryoko is so damn broken in WH2, Captain Kidds like 50% combo…
Here are some matchvids for WHP: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=B5O7WBNG
Josh Funk Doc made an awsome combovideo for WH2, I’ll dig that out and post too.
I always had a softspot for World Heroes. It always felt pretty shaky, and there were some ridiculous system features, like blocks reflecting fireblls and wrestling game style counter throws, but its just great fun. Deathmatches are bonkers, I don’t know why other fighters don’t feature them as alt modes…
and there are actually some pretty interesting character designs. Mudman has a really interesting design, with his leaping kicks and chi attacks.
WH2 is my fave, tho its really broken. Perfect is the most solid, it even has 6 button support instead of the stupid press duration guage.
I dunno much abt tiers, I know Rasputin was good in two, coss of that uber safe spinning attack (great for chip damage), great pokes and zoning. Btw no-one metioned his ‘rape’ super yet. Prolly the most remarkable frames of annimation ever to make it past the cencors, it still freaks me out:
*the post K.O slow-mo grunting just makes it even more sinister All those people cheering it on too…
Oh yeah thats right because it will make them bounce back and forth.
Does anyone consider WH Perfect broken at all??? I have yet to find stuff too broken in the game…and I’ve looked at those Youtube videos…
I will say this though…I think Zeus is a lame idea for a boss…
Thats one infinite with Dragon…nother revolves around jumping in and doing the honda punches…or comboing it from shorts…and he has it almost modified in WH2.
Ryoko is seriously too good in WH2…the damage on her command grabs is insane…then in Jet and Perfect she surely got toned down.
Just curious does anyone have the tiers for Jet and Perfect?
I thought Zues was an awesome boss. I mean for only having 2 special moves and that nasty full screen super of his was brutal.
For WH2 I would put Ryoko/Dragon/Kidd/Fuuma at the top.
I could not believe how much priority Fuuma’s air throw has in this game! I was pissed at my friend for using abusing it. But then again I could have just, not jumped at him? :lol: Way too much priority for a simple, normal throw.
I use to use Janne in WH2 quite a bit. Though Charlotte was much more of a pain to beat! Almost everything about Perfect is a great improvement over the other WH games!
My fav character in the series is Captain Kidd and Dragon.
A Broken match yay! I always like Broken from day1. Such an ispired character design, fascist, Dhalsim, Inspector Gadget!!
Crossover firebomb is really nasty, bit like Urien’s crossup Aegis in SF3. Great pokes to obv…
Ryoko!!! I was six years old in a Pizza Hut (yes, they had a few arcade games inside) near my home when I first played the WH series. I fell in love with her and her fighting style. Judo-chick-powa! Her command grabs were always stylish. And then her rush-tackle grab thing. Bah. These kind of threads get me all nostalgic.
Oh I know…I loved her style…wishing for her in NGBC2 if SNK makes it…she would really be awesome to be in it!!! Ryoko and Cyberwoo!!! :nunchuck: Or no even ebtter, team of Ryoko and Goro Daimon!!!
Never got to play perfect. I stopped at 2. It was fun and I liked Hanzo, Fuuma, NeoGeo and MusclePower. It’s no surprise that you see infinites in this game. You see infinites in almost every capcom and SNK fighting game…
