/vr/ - Retro Games

The older versions of the game use different sprite art, unfortunately I was never able to find a .bin .cue download with the music tracks intact. Just a bit of trivia.

Also the game is absolutely broken garbage, nobody plays it seriously. It's only good for doing stupid MvC style dashing air combos

At least unlike Variable Geo this was never a porn game as far I'm aware. Also if you're into total shitfest games check out Pretty Fighter X on the Saturn, it's one of the worst fighters ever made.

>>4026645
There's basically a saturn romhack made by the original devs in 1998 called limit over with balance changes and new moves. I'd check that out.

On first inspection the PC-Engine version looks like it plays closer to classic Street Fighter 2 I think.

"Final" playstation revision

Wikipedia says the game received one final unofficial revision from the developers on the Sega Saturn called LimitOver but good luck finding that.

>>4026660
Shitty comparison I quickly put up. I need to bookmark this.

The games are garbage, though. Play a serious Capcom fighter.

Serious question: does anyone ever give consideration to the long tail when they author their responses?

Some guy 50 years from now is going to find this when specifically searching for Asuka 120% Burning games and find responses like >>4026676 and is going to be really annoyed.

>>4026676
These days people would even non SF or Marvel Capcom fighters obscure.

>>4026682
There's no reason to play dead fighters much less a dead niche anime fighter whose only balanced revision is impossible to find on an obscure retro console. Go learn Guilty Gear Xrd or Under Night In-Birht if you like Air Dashing that much.

>>4026682
Well tough shit that's just the sad reality of multiplayer centered games, amigo. There's no point to them if you can't find a group of people willing to play them with you. If the devs had a problem with that they should have made a beat'em up or action game.

>>4026656
How the hell do you romhack a CD.

I guess at the very least it has tits and panty shots going for it.

>>4026693
By owning the source code.

>>4026689
>impossible to find
It's actually on IsoZone. First fucking Google result.
http://www.theisozone.com/downloads/other-consoles/sega-saturn/asuka-120-limit-over-hack/

Also recommend checking out Touki Denshou: Angel Eyes if you really love air dashing schoolgirl fighters.

Be honest here, if this were a good game in the first place wouldn't it rather feature serious character designs and setting rather than this pedophilic fanservice crap? Why couldn't they make a real game instead of exploiting little girls?

The fact they resorted to softcore porn to sell shows that they never fully trusted their product. No wonder nobody plays this competitively.

Have fun watching underaged females violently beat each other up into a bloody pulp if that turns you on, I guess. I'll be playing real serious fighters with active communities.

This is a very good game. I played this game along with Steele Fighter Zero1 on PS1.
It has a unique system that is not available in other games.
The character I'm good at is a biology student.
Who use taekwondo and frog.

>>4026786
>Steele Fighter Zero1
Oh, you mean Street Fighter Zero

>>4026689
>There's no reason to play video games

>>4026794
Fighter games are a different beast, though, they are primarily an Esport first and game second. There's no point in playing if you're not honing your skills and the sad truth is nobody is willing to play your shitty lolicon anime fighter with you.

>>4026645

>>4026653
>At least unlike Variable Geo this was never a porn game as far I'm aware.

Advanced V.G. 2 is surprisingly decent.

>>4026809
It is. The only thing setting VG back is it plays too much like Street Fighter 2. The original VG for PC98 or whatever computers was actual porn though, it's not hyperbole.

>>4026809
The Variable Geo OVA anime is also AWESOME, really worth checking out for tits and domestic violence.

How do you do Super Combos with only one hand?

Umm, isn't beating defenseless women up a bit, misogynistic?

>>4026819
by not being an ironic weeb that equalizes everything japanese with porn

>>4026653
>At least unlike Variable Geo this was never a porn game as far I'm aware.
How is that a good thing?

Melty Blood?

>>4026813
I don't want to watch, it seems like all cringe viewing. Granted Takeuchi Yuka was the draw for me to get interested in the series to begin with, got the SS LE just for that pose.


>>4026660
The Saturn version eludes me. I want it, for reasons. Had no clue about the unofficial revision, I think that's awesome the devs would do such a thing.

>>4026645
I've spent a few hours with the PCE version. It controls like mud. I'd be interested in exploring it more with more responsive controls.

>>4026682
>Serious question: does anyone ever give consideration to the long tail when they author their responses?

Once upon a time, in a mythical age before the Eternal Summer After Eternal September, no one was archiving. Posts on random imageboards were ephemeral.

t. Only English World Exists

>>4026693
>How the hell do you romhack a CD
Same way you do a cartridge, or a tape for that matter. Reproducing the patched game is a lot easier than blowing EEPROMs too.

>>4026864
>Melty Blood?
No.
VANGUARD PRINCESS

>>4026812
>plays too much like Street Fighter 2.
I like a couple of the V.G. games quite a bit, and this is the first time I have ever heard too much like SF2 as a complaint

>>4026928
Anon you keep posting parts of your collection and it's so good. Also you have good handwriting.

Do you have a blog or somewhere with a collection of all these pictures?

>>4026928
>cringe viewing
Nobody watches it for the story.

>>4027126
>VANGUARD PRINCESS
That's an even more deadder and obscure game, congrats.

>>4027126
>I have ever heard too much like SF2 as a complaint
It is a complaint because it's got nothing to set it apart at all, even the characters play the same. Why play SF2 for girls when you could play real SF2 for REAL MEN.

>>4027126
>I've spent a few hours with the PCE version.
The 32 Bit games are entirely different, they plays like MvC lite.

Good old 90s anime girls who are drawn like ACTUAL WOMEN instead of modern moeblobs

>>4026645
I prefer the saturn version to any other version.

If you enjoy the system you can check out Phantom Breaker. Its not retro but its made by the same team.

>>4027814
Phatom Breaker story mode is kinda cringey with the animecon fujoshit plot

>>4027814
That's basically a fucking 2D musou, it's not like Asuka 120 at all. Garbage.

>>4027472
Thanks, I just use my handwritten messages to sort of sign my /vr/ postings without a tripcode. I just post on 4chan for some fun when I have time, I tend to reuse pictures just because it is easier than composing a new one.


>>4027493
Yeah, but V.G.'s roots from the PC-98 makes me expect more from the animation, and I do not believe it will go that far.


>>4026653
I have played much worse than Pretty Fighter X. There has been some pretty bad fighters, without even the eye candy.

>>4026809
VG Max, the one with chibi characters was simple but really fun.

>>4026689
The 'poverty' fighter scene is great for its search for little known games with fun mechanics, or broken games with amusing quirks. There's even a scene for some, like Fighters History or Jackie Chan's Fists of Fire.

Asuka 120% is a funass game though - I heard that French Bread's early fighters set out to replicate Asuka's gameplay with VN chars, which eventually led to the Melty Blood games. Asuka does play incredibly similarly - LMH 3 button control, super versions of standard moves, a 'heat' mode when your gauge hits 120% and moves that can only be done then, and rush/launcher style gameplay. I'd love to play other Asuka games than FINAL, but I dig its crazy noodlelimbed sprites with thicc shoes/fists. Very Sunsoft/Treasure.

>>4026645
all of them

That's an informative post, I did notice it played like a prototypal Anime fighter. Appreciated.

>>4027507
>Why play SF2 for girls when you could play real SF2 for REAL MEN.

Some of us wish to be the little girl, and were also raised with a severe SONNY CHIBA MANLINESS deficit. I know I should main Zangeif or something, but I can't help myself.

>>4027512
>Good old 90s anime girls who are drawn like ACTUAL WOMEN instead of modern moeblobs

Normally I'd point out how kawaii was killing anime in the 90s in exactly the same way as moe is 'killing' anime now, but as a nerd who regularly watches harem anime I can't help but notice that there are only two bloody female body types in anime now (maybe 3 if you break the cowtits into two levels). I recall much more variation in height, skin tone, and hip to waist ratio.

>>4029171

That's the great thing about Variable Geo, you can main a girl that controls EXACTLY like Zangief.

It could be worse, the Steven Universe devs got into their head that the way to fix that was to make everyone into fat tiny dwarves. That's their idea of diversity.

You sad, pathetic weeb.

>>4026645
limit over is the best

>>4026645
The obscurest fighting games i have played until today are the fighting games for PC-FX with video cutscenes as the only movement. Strange and fun to play for some time, but also quite hard atleast until you have figured out when the fuck you have to do what.

>>4029134
Yeah, Family Soft/Fill-in-Cafe are an interesting bunch. I know there's a guy in there in charge of a lot of their more interesting fighting-based games who hooked up with Treasure a bunch - which makes sense given Panzer Bandit's similarity to Guardian Heroes, and the pre-PS1 versions of Mad Stalker being ridiculously on-point mechanically. Slick as hell comboing/special move cancelling in that.

Most of their early games have ridiculously good soundtracks by Keishi Yonao too which it's fun to see evolve as remakes happen - Asuka and Mad Stalker moved from 16 to 32 bit, as did their soundtracks. Still partial to their original chiptunes though.

This game really needs those fancy infinite combo videos showcasing all characters while linkin park music plays in the background.

They published some really neat games though in the PS1 era

>>4026656
this
it also has an english patch now

>>4027835
theres a fighting game spinoff

>>4029686
Wasn't Asuka originally 32 bit?

>>4030227
Read the thread, it's originally on Sharp X68k and PC Engine.

>>4030245
It was originally on FM Towns.

>>4030251
Whoops my mistake, X68k is too overpowered for something like this. I must have had a brain fart.

I played the Saturn vanilla version, its ok once in a while I just enjoy doing the MVC juggling combos t b h, i have to try the unofficial patch soon tho.
I'd recommend it if you can find it cheap tho

>>4026645
Dan Ki Ga
Rabbit

But nobody play those "competively"

Have some rare Asuka 120% fan art friend.

>>4030438
Nobody plays those Saturn exclusives at all.

>>4031821
I would play those, especially Rabbit, but that game is way to expensive for my blood.


Just bumping the thread because I don't often see much of Asuka 120% on /vr/

>>4027507
>Why play SF2 for girls
Because Advanced V.G. 2 isn't exactly a SF2-like. It's more akin to a mix of Alpha 1 (well, Alpha 2 for Chiho) and Real Bout, with its own quirks.

>>4034756
>and Real Bout,
How so? Explain

>>4034756
>Alpha 2 for Chiho
Yeah Chiho's got custom combos.

>>4034756
>Alpha 2 for Chiho
I've noticed she has a custom combo in VG Max, did she also got one in Advanced VG 2?

>>4034759
Character-specific target combos, how juggles look, superjump, safe fall animations. Plus, some characters do take their references from FF/KOF characters.

>>4034778
Yeah, she has an infinite out of her genei-jin. I never got to land it though, the timing is really weird.

>>4026928
>>4034058
That is some killer collection there, anon. Good shit. Also, AVG2 does take off from the OVA series so it might be worth a watch just for that.

>>4029175
Damn right. Also, webm related is a true combo.

>>4031791
Nice!

Also, this is now a 90s waifu fighting game thread.

>>4026676
>serious Capcom fighter
lmao

I found a matchup chart of Asuka 120% Final a while ago. It was text-only, so I made an image out of it for convenience. The source is in the pic, but for anyone too lazy to bother zooming in at the bottom-right corner, here it is: http://www.geocities.jp/hanten21/asukadaiyaguramu.htm

>>4036632
They are more serious than your loli game.

>>4026645
If this were a truly good game, do tell, why does it need underage sex to sell? Wouldn't the merits of the gameplay alone be worht it?

>>4034058
At some point I'll have most of your collection saved. If saturn was your main I imagine you have a bunch of neat stuff

>>4035457
I should one day download the OVAs to see, but as mentioned the same styled character designs was used in the old Sogna Viper H-games too. So I can just picture Takeuchi Yuka as Akira.


>>4037813
Thanks! The image is so nice. I never realized my favorite, the volleyball girl, was so dominant. Picked her because, y'know, volleyball girls. According to this chart she's like Sasquach in Vampire Savior dominant.


>>4037828
While I had seen plenty loli characters in games before, I never knew it was "a thing" until I first saw some fanart of Roll Caskett. So, Capcom opened my eyes to lolis and all the art Japanese would draw of the character types.


>>4037834
I don't think sales correlate with quality gameplay sometimes. Appealing character designs I see as a bonus to me. For example, FIFA and Madden seem to sell very well, but the characters aren't appealing to me, and they may have high merit gameplay, but those games just aren't my thing.


>>4039394
I mostly just take pictures of random stuff, and try to relate it with the threads here on /vr/ and use the pictures to "bookmark" where I ave read up to on a thread. I do also have a lot of stuff which is not /vr/ so I don't think I'll post much of it considering I mostly stay on this board.

For Saturn stuff I mostly have visual novels, as I was exercising my Japanese at the time. Like how I had the 360 as my main system, multiplatform titles I tend to choose for my main, and the exclusives I purchased for the other system. I got bored at work one night and filled out what I remembered that I owned: https://www.satakore.com/sega-saturn-complete-game-collection-of-Crono,,834,,1,,0,,1.html

>>4026645
X68000 version has the best soundtrack,Saturn version had the best gameplay,try both.

>>4039498
>satakore link
Nice. I appreciate the collections of people who imported back when PS1 and Saturn were out. You have some cool stuff that doesn't get mentioned often

>>4039498
Why are volleyball balls so strong in fighting games?


Anyway, I found some matches of Asuka 120% Excellent with Japanese players. Here's the first one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPJEclSaUU4

>>4031791
Nice stuff keep going.


>>4039654
Every Saturn owner I met in those days were forced to import. The system was like a sucessor to the PC-Engine. In the end Playstation got everything in some way, and localiztions became more common. Pretty exciting for games, also great value. I just don't think anyone on /vr/ would want to talk visual novels and strip mahjong games.


>>4040548
I think there was a phrase in that Dodgeball movie on how they are indestructible. It's all fun, plus girls + volleyball is a winning formula.

Kinda confused on whats the best Asuka 120%

Should I get saturn or ps1?

wikipedia has a lot of different versions. I am assuming I want one of the later ones.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asuka_120%25_Burning_Fest

>>4043483
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsKGoMd60eA

Asuka 120% BURNING Fest. (FM Towns and X68000) - The debut title of the series. Has some of the smallest sprites in fighting game history and plays 16-bit-esque chiptune music. The X68000 version has superior fonts compared to the FM Towns version's.

Asuka 120% Excellent BURNING Fest. (FM Towns) - Taller sprites + redbook music in CD format.

Asuka 120% Maxima BURNING Fest. (PC-Engine CD-ROM2 / TurboGrafx-CD) - First console release. Sprites are taller than original game's, but not as tall as FM Towns Excellent's. Has different redbook music compared to FM Towns Excellent's, and has more characters.

Asuka 120% Special BURNING Fest. (PS1) - First PS1 release. Has an enhanced version of the Maxima's intro, and some of its other sprites, but completely different fighting sprites and soundtrack.

Asuka 120% Excellent BURNING Fest. (PS1) - Not to be confused with FM Towns Excellent. PS1 Excellent is a revision of Special. Has some interesting features in its 'Story Mode'.

>I just don't think anyone on /vr/ would want to talk visual novels and strip mahjong games.
That's where you're wrong

>>4026809
This is the only correct answer to OP.

Asuka 120% games are okay, but a bit too filled with crazy combos for me. I prefer Advanced V.G. 2, it's a more solid, neutral-heavy game.
