You know, I decided I'm not going to tell you

>>5925001
anon pls

they're called jog 'n jabbers

>>5925586
Nope. But if you come closer I might do you the favor of taking a huge shit in your mouth.

By holding up or down while combo'ing. Final Fight's weird about this cuz it's slightly randomized so the throw can either happen at the end of your combo or at the beginning. I love this mechanic, whenever a beat em up lacks this it always feels extremely limiting

>>5925619
Ah yes, I see now. I see that you are a faggot.

>>5925619
Excellent, thanks anon.

I know there's a shmupmame but is there a bmupmame? Because there should be.

>>5926108
For what purpose? Shmupmame can already run all the notable beat em ups fine, besides some new ones like IGS stuff, and 3D ones like Spikeout that MAME itself can't run

>>5926113
because if shmupbois can have their own mame then so can we

wish more beat em ups where like cyberbots, just mechs punching the shit out of each other

>>5926115
Go for it anon I'll be rooting for you. Only feature I'd like to have in a bmupmame is more hitbox scripts for games that aren't Capcom belt rollers

>>5926116
Not quite the same, but Robo Army is good.

>>5924918
>giving Haggar anything but a pipe

>>5926561
yep.

Is Final Burn Alpha actually any better than MAME for emulating CPS boards and Neo-Geo?

Nearly beat Sodom for the first time. Literally one punch or pre-emptive body slam away. The train segment just fucking wrecks me and all my lives.

>>5927984
I hate the train, especially because I get unlucky with food drops. If the rng decides to starve you then it's harder than stage 3 and 5, especially that final screen. Atleast you can use some safe strategies against Sodom

>>5927984
God damn I'm glad it's not just me then. Get fucking nothing most runs, maybe some grapes and/or a beer, and then in my last run I get two fucking turkeys and an apple all in the 2nd to last area right after I had already died and replenished my health with a new life.
>Atleast you can use some safe strategies against Sodom
redpill me on these strats anon.

>>5928228
Yeah that's just the level, it has no guaranteed drops until right before Sodom and it can really fucking suck, you really need a good strategy for that last part of the train in case the game decides to deprive you of healing

There are several "safe" (most aren't 100% safe, he can break out of even the cheesy ones if he wants to) strategies against Sodom, this is one I use. The idea is to get directly above or below him vertically and grab him out of his dash, you can't be too far away or else you'll miss the grab window and he'll have iframes and retaliate. If that happens it's best to spam your special attack. If he doesn't enter his stun state after being thrown and instead starts walking around, that's also a good time to do your special. You can sometimes sneak in a grab when he's walking around but it's risky, especially if he still has 1 of his katanas.

>>5928282
Oh nice, this should work great.

>>5928295
If Sodom wills it

What are some Guardian Heroes style bmups with fighting game inputs?

Holy FUCK I just made it off the sub section with (barely) 2 lives left. I've never even made here with 1 before. Hope I don't miraculously fuck up and end up sodomized again.

>>5928348
J's going to do his faggot footsies and sneak in a punch while you're mid combo, calling it

>>5928352
GOD FUCKING DAMNIT HE ACTUALLY GOT ME THIS IS SUCH BULLSHIT I WAS JUST JOKING

FUCKING GOD DAMNIT FUCK THIS GAY EARTH

I kept fucking dropping him mid grab, like several times. he should've been dead several times over fuck me oh my fucking god

god damn, I am seething right now. GAY GAME I AM NOT PLAYING ANYMORE TONIGHT. Just fucking kill me.

credit feeding just to show where his lifebar was at. I thought he was dead and let go of the controller multiple times like a dumbass.

>>5928361
lmao, another credit claimed by based Sodom
super spam would have probably done it

Trying out Blade Master, so far I'm enjoying it. Combat is fast enough and the sprite work & fantasy theme are great. Simple moveset, just how I like it.

>>5928434
Wow, this is cool as hell. Wondering how on earth I'd never heard of this before.

Also dumb question but does anyone know of some beat em ups that did
>double tap forward/back to run
>dash attacks
>back attacks
>mounts/mechs/etc
>smart bombs (magic in this case)
Before Golden Axe?

>>5928496
Kunio Kun had all the movement stuff, can't think of a pre-Golden Axe bmup with that kind of magic and mounts though

How do you goys feel about Captain Commando?

>>5928696
Cool game, but that faggot with the harpoon gun keeps fucking my ass.

>>5928696
Dont like it mainly cause the hits feel like weak slaps and theres too much herding and shifting
>>5928705
>harpoon guy
>singular
You're in for a treat

>>5928787
Is there a cliff to the right of the screen or something? It looks like the start of a bridge but they all fucking died.

>>5929232
Nope. They died due to damage. Cadillacs & Dinosaurs is a damage-heavy game, especially with its hidden damage boost mechanic.

Been trying some dorky Streets of Rage 2 romhacks - A ton are low effort spriteswaps but there's a good few that redo movesets/add juggle combos. The Final Fight X-Over hack is pretty neat, though I wish they just replaced Chun-Li with Maki or Lucia. I love Cody's air combo setups - heck, even being able to try Fight'n'Rage style shit in the SOR2 engine is dorkily fun. Was a recent Ninja Turtles hack for SoR2 that's pretty interesting, and people're learning how to hack more of it like the intro and title. Level hacks when.

>>5928496
Tecmo Knight may have had a few months over Golden Axe, both were the same year. However tiny the protag is he still gets mounts and the game's based around them.

>>5930345
Not at all what I had in mind... but you're right, techically you're the little guy riding the big guy so it's mount. What a weird fucking idea.

>>5927805

no

>>5930283
pretty interesting stuff anon. update if anything else cool is discovered

>>5927172
Noppers.

>>5928367
Imagine having a character literally named Anal Sex.

>>5928434
Cool game but the final boss is garbage, buff character is shit as well

>>5926108
What's the difference between regular MAME and shmupMAME?

>>5926125
>belt rollers
you should stop forcing that meme, anon
its not gonna stick

>>5933367
less input lag, obsolete now though by groovymame

>>5924918
Why are throws in the Konami jog n jabs random?
Who the FUCK thought that was a good idea?

>>5933368
Little late for it to be well known.

>>5935998
Early Konami games are a dumpster fire, though if I remember right only TMNT suffers from that issue. Stick to Vendetta, Metamorphic Force and Violent Storm, much better than their early stuff

>>5936006
>though if I remember right only TMNT suffers from that issue
X-Men is like that too. That game has tons of charm, but fuck me if the combat isn't bare-bones as hell.

>>5925624

>>5936003
He's right though, its fucking gay.

>>5936012
Oh right, that game sucks ass too. Metamorphic Force is pretty much X-Men but not shit

>>5924918
Final fight games for NES are awesome.

>>5936349
>t. can't beat Mighty Final Fight
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRLde8gVOFY

>>5936349
I'd rather play Mighty Final Fight than the SNES version at least.

Has OP beaten Sodom yet?

>>5936349
>>5936471
Mighty Final Fight is unironically good. Even though there's a 2 enemy per screen limit, the game is still a blast to play. The XP system makes you play a bit more strategically (to get max XP as soon as possible). I like the infinites too. Also, there's no penalty to throw damage like in the original, so Haggar's pile driver does massive damage and is satisfying as hell. Guy > Cody btw. Guy's secret "rebound" kick is better than Cody's fireball and you can do it at level 1. Also, better jab, faster speed, and easier to do infinites with Guy (easier grab --> vertical knees).

>>5933368
Blow it out your ass

>>5936710
It's "good for NES" tier, definitely way better than RCR and Double Dragon but overall it's meh. The EXP system sucks, especially the way it combines with other moves. It just gets you to use the most high EXP gain move like piledriver, even at the expense of efficiency. So with Haggar you just do a jump attack, grab, do a couple of headbutts and then a piledriver. Rinse and repeat for the entire game.
>Also, there's no penalty to throw damage like in the original
?

>>5937439
>It's "good for NES" tier
No fucking shit, moron.

>>5937475
Ah right, if you think its shite overall then we agree

I've been dipping hard into the river city /kunio franchise recently and I got a weird question; anyone know of any way to listen to the original river city ransom underground soundtrack?

Some of you may know about it already but the original composer went on a dmca tirade over a contract dispute after the game released sometime in 2017 and managed to seemingly nuke their work from the internet. In interested in listening to it though, after playing rcru in really curious about it.
Anyone have any idea where to look /a link to anything relevant? I've tried googling for an hour with no results.

>>5937819
Isn't it on khinsider?

>>5937849
I'm pretty sure that's the new soundtrack on there, it sounds like what's on the latest version of the game. Maybe I'm wrong though

>>5937867
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
No clue then anon, try soulseek
