This game is more realistic than most fighting games.

>>5436934
Realistic =/= good and you know it.

>Fighting game thread
>OP posts sword combat sim
I get the feeling the only reason we are having this thread is because we had a thread a little while ago saying good things about this game.

>>5436987
Except that it's classified as a fighting game literally everywhere, you fucking retard.

Probably Street Fighter 2 on the GB. Or this one wrestling game on GB that I can't remember the name of.

Fighting games exploded in the mid 90's so there's ton of utter garbage most people play, Bushido Blade is trash but it's not the worst offender by far, it's Toshinden/Gowcaizer tier trash.

>>5436926
I liked those games. Apparently you've dodged all of the actually awful fighting games.

>>5437157
was SF2 worse than Shaq Fu on the game boy? Where you could turn up the difficulty to max and still beat the entire game by holding down and pressing kick to sweep the leg again and again?

>>5437167
>bushido blade
>trash

only if you are expecting some esport worthy multiplayer game

Bushido Blade's marathon mode was fucking awesome because you had to go flawless the whole time because one fuck up meant you'd be crippled or dead and it was better that 90% of fighting game 1 player modes.

>Can't name even one
Good to know.

>only if you are expecting some esport worthy multiplayer game
Pointless excuse, Bushido Blade was a shit game because it was just a dumb Samsho clone, but uglier, slower and absolutely retarded, it has nothing to do with e-sports, which didn't even really exist back then.

>Playing a shitty fighting game for the shitty CPU "challenges"
Unless it's dumb shit like Tekken Ball, it belongs in the trash.

>>5437607
fine, ClayFighter 63⅓

While not as infamous as Shaq-Fu, it does have that mockbuster title going for it.

Supposedly it's a localization of Ranma 1/2: Chounai Gekitou Hen. Which looks equally as bad, but somehow the animu artstyle helps it go down easier.

>>5437612
You really are letting everyone know how terrible you are at the game.

>>5436940
Yeah that's true.
But Bushido Blade is a really good game and you know it.

>>5437612
In Bushido Blade you finish a round in a single hit. It really has nothing to do with Samurai Shodown.

>>5437652
Yeah lol I guess Soul Blade is too, then.

>not one Jag game

>>5436926
This is an awesome game to play with friends who are bad at fighting games, because they might get lucky and win.

>>5436926
toshinden is probably the worst ive played, but theres some noteworthy bad ones like destrega and ergheiz, which is almost "so bad its good"

ToShinDen - i bought both of them :(
I really liked the character design, the overall setting. I loved the music. But the game itself, the controls, play mechanics, the graphics, were all dog shit. The person responsible for the play mechanics should be castrated.

Ninja Hamster for the C64. It has to be seen to be believed. Spitting Image, again for the same platform, was also absolutely fucking atrocious. Oh, and Pit Fighter for the Game Boy. If you truly hate someone, then buy them a DMG with that piece of shit glued into the cartridge slot.

>>5436926
Worst? If you think Bushido Blade is the worst, you really need to play more games. But this is a bait thread, so whatever.

Toshinden 3 isn’t “good” in the conventional sense, but it’s so fucking bizarre that you’ll still have fun.

kakuto chojin. i bought it because the xbox had so few fighting games. it was clunky and clearly the person who designed it had no actually time spent playing any fighting game. it wanted to be another VF or tekken but the way you do everything it was just shitty

It’s weird because it’s from the same team who did the Tobal games, which aren’t perfect, but they’re at least functional. Supposedly it was designed strictly to be an early Xbox tech demo, but Microsoft urged the team to turn it into a full-fledged release.

>>5438283
Ergheiz is great because you can make Cloud and Sephiroth do a foot race on the beach

>>5437617
>Supposedly it's a localization of Ranma 1/2: Chounai Gekitou Hen
That's kind of funny

>Look at this super anime shit
>Let's make it as non-anime as you possibly can

>>5440091
All the Ranma fighting games were pretty trash along with most of the anime fighters of the era, but it's still fun in a silly way.

Bushido Blade on the other hand is a legit great game, but much more like a spiritual successor to Budokan than a normal fighter.

>>5440403
No 1HKO in Budokan.

Slauther sport on sega genesis i swear is the worst on earth

>>5440745
Yeah and there's no katanas either. They're not the same, just akin in that you shouldn't think of them like normal fighters. Bushido Blade is more of a samurai simulator.

>>5440403
Huh I think they play better than DBZ Hyper Dimension and /vr/ is absolutely nuts for that shitty game. Few people know that you can set Up to Jump in the options.

>>5442139
I'll grant I've never played any if the DB games. They're not unplayably bad like Rise of the Robots or something but fighters are one of those genres where the game can really fall apart unless it's close to perfect.

>>5436926
Time Killers

>>5437652
>In Bushido Blade you finish a round in a single hit.
So...just like Samurai Showdown?

>>5443006
OOOOOHH SNAP!

>>5437027
That's only because it doesn't fit well into any other genre, but it's really not the same as Street Fighter or Soul Blade and comparing it to them is kind of pointless.

>>5443071
>but it's really not the same as Street Fighter or Soul Blade

Why does this matter? Why did SF2 autists define the genre around one game and Virtua Fighter tagging along and leave no label for combat focused games that play any differently.

>>5443074
That's just how genres tend to go, and most of the names for them are silly. "Fighter" and "beat em up" could easily swap and fit as well but they refer to very different kinds of games. Street Fighter really set the standard that most other fighting games, even 3D ones followed so it's what people expect and what the genre moniker has come to represent. If there were more simulation-style combat games like BB it would probably have become it's own offshoot genre, but there aren't. So it gets lumped in with the rest even though it doesn't really fit.
