git gud

Get lucky is more like it, I don't think there is any rational pattern.

>>1503653
So, OP, did you make it past the wall or not?

You don't. The wall decides who shall pass and when, and obviously it has not yet deemed you worthy. Attempt again later.

I always hear about this method.

>Wait for the top left pillar of the first wall to move three times. Not in a row, just in general.
>After that, haul ass and run past both walls without stopping

OP, are you okay? Post if you're okay.

>>1503653
>HOW DO I GET PAST THIS FUCKING WALL!?
Play the far superior Sega Master System port for starters.

>>1503775
I believe this is correct. That wall has fucked me numerous times. But sometimes, you can just hold right and sail on by.

Fuck that wall.

>>1505394

The wall got him.

That's my grandad, killing those stupid Lee Brothers! Nyeah!

RIP OP

But fuck it, Double Dragon thread. So what's the best in the series?

>>1506318
how is that neon remake ?

>>1503653
very carefully

>>1505398
>far superior

except for the worse graphics, worse music, and worse gameplay, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5F71GAdfMtM

>>1506326

Very, very good. Great skill system, good challenge, good variety, just long enough for a decent price. Play it.

Though I hesitate to call it better than Double Dragon 2. DD2 is just exceptional.

>>1506326

Probably the best new beat 'em up release in the past five years.

>>1506352

Actually, make that ten years. The beat 'em up genre is woefully dead.

DD: Neon put some juice in it though. It has fucking dodge-counters.

Whelp, see you in another 20 years.

>>1506326
Pretty good.

The music is probably the best part of the game, though.

>>1506368

My method is to wait for the very top block of the wall to move twice. Not necessarily in a row, just twice. After that, run like hell.

60% of the time, you can go without getting hit. Even if you do get hit, it's not that hard to survive long enough to regain your health. Just watch out for that one fucking guy with the knife up ahead after the wall.

Honestly, the wall is the hardest thing in the whole game. Final boss is intense.

You can do it, anon.

>>1506368

I just beat Double Dragon a few hours ago for the first time. That final stretch makes my dick rock-hard.

And I've been playing the game for not nearly as long as you. Believe in yourself.

>>1506343
That song that plays right at the start of that video, holy SHIT that always gets me so pumped up. That is among the top 3 NES songs of all time right there.

>>1505398
This will totally help you with the NES version.

The fuck are you on?

>When that shit plays during the final boss of both games

YES YES YES

>>1506428
Now I want to buy this. Why does it never go on sale?

>>1506438

It's still pretty recent on Steam. Only came out about a month ago.

And $9.99 ain't too bad. Wait for the next Steam sale, I suppose. It's bound to go down pretty low.

Double Dragon and Ninja Gaiden always had the best music.

Double Dragon 2 on the NES > everything.

>>1506484
DD2 on the NES is amazing. Never played the arcade though, how does it hold up to the console and original arcade game?

>>1506484
Sorry but Street of Rage Remake happened.

>>1507975
sorr has terrible enemy ai and bad design choices in the later stages though, as well as very poorly balanced characters

>>1506343
>except for the worse graphics, worse music, and worse gameplay
BUT IT HAD 2P CO-OP. IT'S NOT DOUBLE DRAGON WITHOUT CO-OP.

But srsly, Double Dragon on the SMS was shit.

>>1506326
Pretty disappointing. I much rather they had done a straight revival like the GBA version from ten years ago instead of going for a goofy 80s pastiche.

>>1507761
>Never played the arcade though, how does it hold up to the console and original arcade game?
DD2 on the arcade was just an improved version of DD1 with a harder difficulty. The bosses were actually unique to each stage rather than just head swaps of other characters.

All you need to know about Double Dragon 2 Arcade can be summed up with the following links:

One of my favorite boss lairs in all of gaming. Oh, and Chin is a fucking asshole.

So if you had the opportunity to own either cabinets of 1 or 2, which would you want?

>>1508036
DD2, cause I prefer the cabinet design.

>>1508036
Not him, but I'd prefer 2 because if I recall correctly, it has less slowdown and would be more fun to play.

I'm such a fan of the NES version of DD2 that I own the NES version 3 times : I tracked down 2 more CIB copies of the game just to get the poster, one for me, and one which I sent to my online co-op game playing buddy, we both mastered DD2 to the point where beating the game without losing a single life while doing ONLY knee attacks and sending each enemies to each other with it was a habit. A timed, step by step, habit of rocking all the way through.

Pic related, the poster

>>1508047
>it has less slowdown and would be more fun to play.
It's also much more balanced, since DD1 can be cleared using only the elbow strike.

>>1508075
2 is my favorite, but calling it balanced is a joke. It's by far the easiest DD, thanks to the hyperknee. Still so much fun, especially coop, but you only need the hyperknee to crush everything, and it's such an easy move to do.

My problem with the DD games is that they all have a point where they decide to become platformers. Why? It's the ultimate bait-and-switch.

>>1508091
>It's by far the easiest DD, thanks to the hyperknee.
That's nice, anon, but I'm talking about the ARCADE version. The NES versions are too different from their arcade counterparts.

>>1508091
>thanks to the hyperknee

Except for all those bad guys in the later levels that just duck it all the time.

Now if we were talking about the flying hurricane kick, THAT'S the only move you really need.
