/vr/ - Retro Games

It was an experimental game and I have super mixed feelings about it. The style is easily the best FF game but I like Special/Real Bout's rosters more and Real Bout's gameplay more. The story is almost good but I feel like it loses me thanks to the Jin brothers being kind of mediocre antagonists. Mai's redesign wasn't it. RB2 is truly peak FF but I wish more fighters were like AOF1/3 where the story isn't about a tournament and was more like an action flick where all the player characters happen to encounter each other. Garou is fine but it does reek of "giving up"

Real Bout Special/2 seems to have a bit of a following on /vr/, which I find somewhat vindicating because it was almost completely ignored by magazines at the time. And the only arcade version of it I’ve ever seen was in my house. I loved it. I’m not shitting on Fatal Fury 3 (best intro ever!), but I’ve always considered Real Bout the lemonade SNK made out of that lemon.

Wasn’t FF3 rushed to market because of an earthquake or tsunami or something?

What was the first game to have a dedicated boss theme?

Pretty much anything involving Geese, but this one in particular.

Idunno if this counts as a sprite, though.
