Fuck Virtua Fighter most of all. That game is the reason SEGA killed Eternal Champions off.

>>5744945
And two shitty spin-off games.

>>5744820
This is still, imo, the best fighting game on the Genesis by far. The characters were amazing, the art was cool as hell, and the music has stuck with me since I was a kid. Never got to play the Sega CD one.

>>5744820
This is how I feel about Darkstalkers
>>5744987
X-Perts with Shadow and uh... what was the name of the Larcen game? Either way, those aren't fighting games are they?

>>5744820
eternal champions was literally for people who got their asses beat so bad at street fighter and MK that they were shamed away...then found eternal champions as a game they could feel decent at because NO ONE else was playing it because it's more generic than your dad's asshole hairs.

>>5744987
Yeah I'm sure the fall of the arcade fighter genre had nothing to do with it.

>>5744820
>i dont like thing thread

>>5746880
It's a trick to stir discussion. No one actually cares about either dead franchises.

>>5746885
it's a shitty trick and you're a retard for using it

>>5746903
Hey blame the game not the playa. It got you talking didint it?

>>5746907
no what it did was get me to post how shitty a trick it was and how you're a retard for using it. stop trying to gloat over such beta bitch tactics

>>5746921
I see you're enjoying your first day on 4chan. Everything here sucks.

>>5744820
EC probably didn't catch on because it's way fucking harder than SF or MK. It had a cool story, good characters, nice soundtrack, and fun fatalities, but it also had AI that would completely rape you.

>>5747074
They "fixed" the insane rapist difficulty in the CD sequel. Makes me wonder if they had planned that out all along.

>>5744841
look at how big her penis sack is.

Was this the first console game to have the option for an AI based tournament?

>>5747081
Didn't help the AI had combo chains and tactics entirely based on the fact they didn't have to worry about the power meter, which entirely was the balancing point of the game in terms of special moves. That meant the AI and players were playing two different games.

Hardly mattered if it wasn't an issue on the Sega CD because who the hell actually owned a Sega CD?

>>5746878
It literally didn't. SEGA only wanted one flagship fighting game franchise, and they wanted Virtua Fighter to be it.

>>5747220
The Sega CD is better in every way though, they also fixed the controls, added characters and a much better soundtrack.

>>5747232
I didn't say anything about the quality of it. In all ways, the CD version is superior. However, I knew absolutely no one that owned that growing up aside from one friend who owned a Game X-change. It wasn't very popular.

If it had came out on playstation, I imagine it would have been more successful.

>>5747228
>Virtua fighter
Ugfhhh
Tekken and soul Calibur are way better

>>5747232
>>5747245
I honestly think the original Genesis soundtrack is better for the most part, a lot of the stages had songs that fit the feel of the stage while CD had sorta generic sounding "intense guitar fight music"
Blade's stage:

Shadow's stage:

I also think the gore was really overdone in the CD game, like they saw Mortal Kombat and tried to one-up it for some reason

>>5747508
rax's stage had the worst "upgrade"

>>5747228
They didn't want EC because it was made by gaijin devil barbarians, even though it made a ton of money

>>5747098
That's what makes her look hispanic.

>>5747508
>the original Genesis soundtrack is better for the most part
Yep.

>>5747245
I remember renting it from Blockbuster to play Eternal Champions CD a few times. There was a huge deposit so my parents wouldn't do it often.

>>5744820
Lmao, that game sucked. It has no combos.

>>5748289
Or maybe the didn't want it because westerners can't make good fighting games (except for Mortal Kombat)

>>5747320
Soul Calibur is up to debate (it's buggy as shit but beyond that a fun game), but Tekken is and always was a third rate Virtua Fighter clone.

>>5746876
A more true statement could not be made. That's the main market for all these shitty fighting games. Kids play them alone in their basement and tell themselves it's better than having real opponents in a good game.
