Why isn't this game more popular?

>> No.4329464

Actually play it and you'll see why.

Tobal 2 is better but still not perfect then Ehrgeiz could have been perfect but they gutted the adventure mode's character mechanics.

Why don't modern fighters copy its Quest mode? Doesn't seem like something hard to implement.

Invariably one of the unlockable fighters would be broken and modern fighters are obsessed with balance because of online play.

Fighters even caring about single player was just an anomaly at the end of fifth gen/beginning of sixth gen.

Unless you think Brawl's, er, "story mode" is an exception and you think Brawl is a fighter.

Smash Bros usually had the best single player modes and unlockables, except for brawl.

This is how I know I'm on vr.

Ironically Smash cares the least about single player content these days, and it's a shitty party game not a fighting game anyways. Play any modern fighter and you'll see what I mean.

Last one.
Mark the Devil (pic related), Chaco and Doctor V where cut from the first game because they where running out of time, they used them in the sequel, unfortunately i don't have any art for Chaco and Doctor V.

I love Tobal but these are two valid points, imo. Plus the market was starting to get super competitive (no pun) over 3D fighters at the time.

Isn't this game basically Virtua Fighter for the Ps1?

Yep. Shame it never had an arcade release or there could have been an actual competitive scene.

Because Tobal 2 is vastly superior you americlap.

Tobal 1 was literally the beta of Tobal 2, used only to sell the demo of FF7.

Not Tobal but Ehrgeiz Forsaken Dungeon would be a lot better without the character switching bullshit. Let me pick boy or girl and let me fucking dungeon crawl to my heart's content. The stamina bullshit I can barely tolerate like Diablo II but stop cutting my fun off with switching characters.

So his face is blue which means he isn't wearing a dress, but his crotch is blank... what is going on here???

Yeah, if I remember right tobal has more auto combos than virtua fighter. So I wouldn'T call it a ps1 virtua fighter. Also a ps1 virtua fighter wouldn't have success because ps1 is not for gamers but casuals.

I was gonna say the opposite, I think they translate pretty well. Bold and simple designs, distinctive silhouettes, easy to replicate in low poly.
