Has anyone ever (and be truthful) beaten akuma mode on the hardest level. In the psx street fighter collection 2 disk. second disk. I am curious. Is that akuma evil or what.

[Syxx573]

They have it, not sure if it's set up yet, I might drive out tomorrow if it is(1.5 hours away)...

Heh... now i hear its the NZ/Aus version that those Tilts got... wtf. Where is the american version???? That's what I want.

Anyway, DR is fun. You'll like it.

I did on the saturn one... with like Dhalsim. It was hard shit and took a long time to do. This was like back in my alpha 2 hay day when I lived in Japan. I'm sure it's not quite so tough now.

I just won myself Fatal Fury:Mark of the Wolves U.S version for the DC on Ebay. For $40.00. Factory sealed as well. Yay.

[ubersaurus]

neogeo battle colosseum is the most fun I've had with a fighter since the days of the Dreamcast.

That is all.

[MagicMajenta]

I'm surprised nobody mentioned Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Tournament Fighters. The gameplay was really good if you gave it a chance.

[MarkMan]

We have a DR machine now in San Diego as well.

Game is fun, well balanced.

:)

I love the genre! I'd say my favorites are the KOF series for 2D and the Soul games for 3D fighters. Terry Bogard will always be my favorite fighting game character. Right now, Dead Or Alive 4 is taking up most of my play time.

[Bleetness]

T5, NGBC, and kof 2k2 for me. But my all time favorite is vampire saviour. Markman I want one of your T5 sticks, you think gamestop still has some in stock?

To me it is still one of toughest boss battles in a fighting game I have ever seen. I love it though but akuma is just a beast. Nobody I have ever known has been able to beat it on the hardest level and I know some pretty good street fighters. I enjoy pulling it out a few times a year just to if it was me or the game. It was me. I always thought that the ending better be special for all the greif it caused.
Congratulations

I've seen some GameStops locally that still carry them...

$89.99 I believe?

[Johnny_Rock]

Regarding the T5 hori sticks yes they are $89.99 for the set. But a few local EBgames and GameStops are selling the sticks alone for like $45 (Pre-Owned).

[buttasuperb]

[Bleetness]

He means the set with the game.

BTW Markman, if I become a zaibatsu supporter... let me be mod in the lili forum... for at least a day... so i can update that damn combo thread... zakuta.... ....is dead. lili = so good.

Peace. lol

[MarkMan]

Sorry Syxx... While I am senior moderator, if you'd like to mod or think you're qualified to do so you have to take it up with either Zakuta/Ace R. the current Lili mods. If you can't have them update your information you should ask Castel.

If you want you can just PM me the combos and I can update the list for you.

To keep it fighting game related....

Check out my latest pick-up...

I've been planning on getting an arcade cabinet for awhile now. I've always wanted a Japanese style cabinet like a Sega Astro City or a Versus City cabinet. But with this one so close by to my house(2 min drive) I couldn't resist!

Just got this in a few hours ago. Had to hurry to tote it over to my place because it was startin' to rain. Thankfully it just started pouring after we got to my place instead of while we were en route.

It used to be a Tekken 2 cabinet. Now it houses good old Tekken Tag. Everything is in good working order from what I tested at the former owner's place.

The only thing I want to do is replace the stick/buttons and the plexiglass on the control panel. After that it should be good to go for regular play!

[Syxx573]

Cool I PMed Ace R.

Ah... nice cab. I thought about buying one because they are super cheap, but I'm just not a big fan of tekken tag.

P.S. Lili unblockable setups = god tier. :)

[XianXi]

All you fighter lovers need to try Mugen out. It's my favorite fighter game. Seriously. They even play it at tournys sometimes. You can create a game with anywhere from 8-200+ fighters to choose from. Characters ranging from the original Street Fighter to Super Mario himself.

[MarkMan]

Hello! Just thought I'd share. I modded my HRAP2 and changed the buttons with Seimitsu PS-14-GX buttons. (I apologize for the shitty picture, taken with my cell phone.)

Now I like the look. But someone else modded theirs with 24MM Seimitsu PS-14-D Red start buttons and it's making me want to change mine to look like this:

If anyone else is interested in a joystick like this... www.VGONetwork.com will restock on HRAP1 and HRAP2 in the next coming weeks or so. And parts can be ordered at either VGO or http://www.akihabarashop.com ...

[Bleetness]

Can I buy one of your sticks for like 80$? I really need one =(

[MarkMan]

Bump for an awesome topic.

[Nez]

Still love fighting games, but no one will ever play me. Oh well cant wait for Fatal Fury Special on 360. It might actually make me buy a 360!

My fav fighting game has changed to KOF 2000, altough its become way to easy now.

[alec]

ATM my favorite fighting game is Waku Waku 7. I'm just silly like that. Whats even sillier is that I sold my mark of the wolves cart. That wasn't too smart. Contemplating getting KOF02.

[Hwj_Chim]

Wow I can't believe no one has listed the Power Instinct series of games.
Great break from the standard capcom or snk fighters

Yeah, it's not too hard. You just have to sign a pcat with the devil. If you negotiate right, all you owe him is a 6-pack of beer.

Also, be on the look out because I may be running a Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 tournament here in ohio.
