No cap she give galaxy level brain homie fr that shit be so fire u think u died like she suck the SOUL out that pipe homie

>>8310014
I sure wonder why posters like this are so knowledgeable about nuspeak.

>>8309929
She looks like any random street walker. Billy should've just taken one of the Lindas from stage 1 home and called it a day.

>>8309929
"she"

> Is she really worth the trouble of fighting hundreds of sentient mushrooms, regular and armed turtles, or even killing your own brother?

>>8310316
Yeah but.. peach is the fucking monarchy, the toads will lose hope if their "leader" is gone.
Marian was just a thot with apparently some great pussy game. enough to drive a wedge between even the strongest family bond.

>>8309929
Worth dying for. Worth killing for.

>>8309929
Nah, that puss has already been stretched to hell by Abobo cock.

>>8310316
imagine the 2-up mushroom being drugs and mario being on a drug trip through all of his games, haha

>>8310369
have you seen the lewds of her made in mugen recently? they're really good......

>>8310435
that's a good picture haha

>>8310316
Yes, you dumbass. If Bowser forces her into marriage, he becomes king. And he fucking hates Mario. So Mario's choice is to either save her or live in a world where Bowser is free to make shitty laws just to fuck with Mario.

>>8310763
>kidnap queen
>declare yourself king
>everyone just goes along with it for some reason
kind of a bad plan in my opinion.

>>8310316

When did he kill Luigi?

I have gone to great lengths for prime pussy

>>8310772
Who else is going to stop him? The toads? They have like 3 hp each.

>>8310435
>WWWAAA-AAH

>>8310763
> Bowser declares himself King
> Mario declares HIMSELF King
> Toads side with the guy they like better
> Bowser’s turtle army is powerless to stop this, continue walking off cliffs in straight lines

Mario could also just flee the country and leave the ungrateful Toads to their fate. Better than risking death, at least.

>>8309929
>Letting a gang of assholes kidnap your girlfriend
>Blaming your girlfriend for your brother being a surprise asshole
Come on OP, at least mention how she has the gall to go with Jimmy if he wins the fight.

>>8309929
I have seen absolutely no good Rule34 of her. So probably not.

>>8310763
So what actual power does princess have to keep that royal position of her? She rules a bunch of tiny mushroom folk and gets kidnapped all the time. There's literally no fucking defense line at her castle, while Bowser has a whole army.

Nobody stops him from just stepping into throne room and do whatever shit he wants right fucking immediately. Nobody, except Mario and Luigi, so if Bowser was just a little bit smarter, he would kidnapped plumbers and tortured them for six months while taking over the entire Mushroomverse.

>>8311030

Doesn't she get fucking capped in 2?

>>8314697
Yep, until Nintendo retconned it and had her brought back to life magically!
it was the beginning of the end for DD.

>>8309949
Even killing your brother?

>>8314737
Well the first retcon was both brothers being alive in the second game.

>>8311603
>Nobody, except Mario and Luigi, so if Bowser was just a little bit smarter, he would kidnapped plumbers and tortured them for six months while taking over the entire Mushroomverse.
Super Princess Peach for Nintendo DS. Bowser kidnaps the plumbers, alongside a magic vibrator. Peach goes fucking mental and defeats Bowser herself.

>>8314826
Not really. You can take a beating and still be alive.

>>8314750
>>8315530

>>8314750
Nobody actually dies in Double Dragon, you're actually fighting the same Abobo over and over and over.
they're all gluttons for punishment.

>>8309929
cringe

>>8315530
They have to fight each other until one of them literally runs out of lives, falls to the floor and disappears. Pretty sure that means death.

>>8311424
It's because Marian doesn't even have a single consistent design throughout the series. In the first arcade game she's this somewhat plumpy brunette in a little red dress with a weird face. She looks more or less the same in the second arcade game, but her face is much better drawn there (despite the weird yellow palette).

But on the flyer for the second game, she's this superhot blonde bombshell in a tank top and miniskirt, and her design in the second NES port seems to be based more on that. Most of the remakes (like Double Dragon Advance and iOS/Android version) seems to be based on this design while having her wear the red dress from the arcade game, which kinda makes her look a bit too much like Jessica from Final Fight (despite Marian debuting first).

But then you also have the gang leader version from the Neo-Geo version (see >>8310369), the redhead version from the Game Boy port of the first game and the policewoman version from Return of Double Dragon who never actually shows up in the game, but is only drawn in the manual (because they rushed the game before putting the story). And the new version in River City Girls seems to be a Blaze Fielding ripoff.

>>8314737
I doubt Nintendo had anything to do with that just because the game was on their console. I think Technos just wanted a happier version since the arcade version has a rather brief and somewhat unsatisfying ending.

The NES port of the first game also changed the plot by turning Jimmy Lee into the bad guy because they didn't know how to work a 2-players mode on the NES, reducing Machine Gun Willy (the main bad guy in the arcade version) into his lackey.

>>8315479
Was there really a vibrator in the game? The only thing I know about it is that short loop Zone made years back using the artwork as assets (and oddly SMW's title theme).

>>8316943
And then in the movie she was suddenly a blonde Alyssa Milano with torn jeans and a great shirt.
I mean, Alyssa Milano I get, but why blonde?

>>8316959
The island the game takes place on is called Vibe Island since the game's hook is manipulating Peach's emotions, which is hilarious

>>8317148
Alyssa Milano looked like a dyke in that movie. Sorry.
But Neo-Geo Marian was kinda based on the movie version of the character, since she has the same "female gang leader who befriends the Lee brothers" characterization to her and the Neo-Geo was meant to be a tie-in to the movie.

>>8316959
https://www.mariowiki.com/Vibe_Scepter
Not really, but it had a magic wand called Vibe Scepter which could control emotions in a game with a female protagonist as a major selling point.

>>8317179
Oh, and one more thing. SPP was one of the few games supporting Nintendo DS rumble pak.

>>8316943
The River City Girls design makes it look like she shouldn't have been kidnapped so easily.

>>8317241
It's just come off as a tryhard girlpower to me. They were already hyping that version of the character as a badass (unlike the old versions of Marian) in a Polygon article while completely ignoring that the Neo-Geo game already did the same thing..

Marian is better as a damsel-in-distress anyway.

Policewoman Marian from Return of Double Dragon

Marian from the Double Dragon II Mega Drive manual. I think they used this concept art to based the PC Engine version of the character on.

Chibi Marian is cute.

>>8317241
getting punched in the abs enough times you just decide to build up a defense

>Marian in thigh highs.
Muh dick.
Also likely the inspiration for this visual from the NES port.>>8317265

>>8311309
Let me describe a more realistic scenario.
>Mario marries Peach and becomes king
>Turns out that plumber to king is a questionable career progression and he is grossly incompetent for the job
>Bowser takes the throne after a fair election

>>8318528
That's why Peach refuses to marry Mario. They both win from this arrangement. Mario doesn't have to educate himself on government affairs and is free to live as a private (noble) citizen. Peach has no co-monarch to share power with and can play the "young unmarried princess" card when needed.

>>8317173
>>8317179
>>8317195
I guess women really love vibration. I genuinely don't understand the mechanism of how that arouses them to the point of climax, I guess rapid but subtle motions are satisfying than slower but stronger ones?

>>8318528
You can say Mario gets impeached.

>>8318547
Carlos, I swear that I shall hunt you down, end your miserable existence, and wear your hide as a skinsuit.

>>8318528
>>8318531
If got married Peach would still be the monarch, Mario would be the consort. His job would be to stand next to Peach at official events and sometimes help charities or something.

>>8318617
>and wear your hide as a skinsuit.
You could say that'd make you look very skinny

>>8310316

>>8310685
You can't talk about shit like that without posting a link first.

>>8317241
Didn't she only work out that much after she was kidnapped?

>>8320693
I guess that makes sense. Like Yuri from Art of Fighting.

Arcade Double Dragon II has such an underrated soundtrack.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2zjEgf-WBw

>>8321535
Is that Bimmy?

>>8321707
Actually no, its the manifestation of the guilt the brothers feel for failing to protect Marian and how their fighting lifestyle eventually let to her getting killed.
they are quite literally.. beating themselves up over the guilt.

Pretty deep actually.

>>8321718
The arcade version of Double Dragon II was unironically ludo. No mysterious warrior who shows up in the last stage with magical kung-fu powers that results in Marian being miraculously brought back to life in the ending. Just a picture of the Lee brothers and Marian shedding a single tear to remind them of the memories of the one they loved and lost.

>>8309929
Back then that was the hottest video game girl yet. She spent lots of loads.

>>8321850
Her in-game design is meh to be honest, especially compared to other retro girls from the same period. I wish the pixel artist had drawn her to be more like she looked on the flyer
.>>8316943

>>8321840
so she's just dead by the end?

>>8322051
In the arcade version, yes.

>>8322051
Yep.

>>8317241
Assuming RCG happens after Neon, she only started training after her kidnapping was thwarted.

>>8322106
that's very sad for a brawler.

>>8322229
Probably why the NES version went with the happy ending where she's just wakes up from a sleeping beauty coma.

But I think the arcade version's sad ending kinda suits the gritty atmosphere a bit more

This felt like a shitty romhack before shitty romhacks were a thing.

>no like, listen..
>what if.. there was like a super evil guy with long evil green hair
>and you like fight him on another plane of existence
>and then like.. Marian gets brought back by ANGELS!!

>>8322390
The NES version of Double Dragon II is still an alright game. Like most NES games based on arcade titles, it's really a port in name only and it's better to think of it as its own thing and there are many interesting things on the NES version that isn't in the arcade (like the battle in the chopper). Plus it's not like the Mysterious Warrior isn't set up at the start of the game, since the opening text mentions the Lee brothers having an enemy they're destined to fight.

And besides,the arcade version of Double Dragon II was literally a ROM hack of the first game. So your comparison makes even less sense.

>>8317148
At least we got a nice angle of her butt.

>>8322571
Too flat.

>>8322290
I agree. She should have stayed dead if only for the sake of being a good dramatic story point.

>>8321840
This, in my headcanon, is the "real ending". Because that's why it's called "Double Dragon: THE REVENGE." From the very start, you're not out to save anybody, you're out to fucking murder those responsible for taking the love of your life away from you.

>>8323069
Double Dragon doesn't really have much of a real canon anyway. Everything after the arcade and NES trilogy was stand-alone or a remake.

>>8322571
I seriously loved that movie. Saw it so many times when I was a kid. I don't get the hate, other than it not being 100% like the videogame (which didn't even have much of a storyline to make a movie out of), it was a fun action comedy.

It wasn't until Mortal Kombat that you had a videogame with a plot that could be put on the big screen, and that's primarily because the entire game was inspired by movies (Bruce Lee, JCVD, Bloodsport, Big Trouble in Little China, etc).

Double Dragon: The Movie would've been much better if it had ended with Robert Patrick gunning down Alyssa Milano like in the second arcade game (>>8321305), not because it would've been more accurate to the games, but because Alyssa Milano is annoying.

Yeah ok this makes sense, but I want to know what was her tax policy, and what would she do when famine struck the land? Eat the toad people? And what did he do with all those koopas? A lot of Bowser's minions and relatives left over. They probably weren’t all killed. Did Peach carry out a policy of systematic koopa genocide?

I've seen that episode of Best of the Worst where they talk about the Double Dragon movie and Alyssa Milano's ass is the only thing I ever remember

>>8330303
What we know about Mushroom politics is that Peach's top servant hates trade unions.

She also stayed dead in Rage of the Dragons, I don't think we even get to see her in a cutscene. Not that it matters since they failed to acquire the DD license so they just changed the relevant names very slightly and called it a homage. Amazing they got away with it.

That's a man

>All these different Marian designs

What if it was a different woman every time? Maybe the boys have a thing for women named Marian?

>>8322051
Yeah, Evoga/Noise Factory wanted to make a sequel based on this outcome with Rage of the Dragons, however as everyone knows they were denied but still launched the game anyways.

>>8310316
>or even killing your own brother?
lmao is this a creepypasta reference?

>>8330337
It's because the original idea for the Double Dragon 3 arcade game was that Billy and Jimmy Lee were joined by three unique characters (Roney Urquidez, Masahiko Oyama and Chin Seimei), but somewhere along the lines they decided to add 3-player support, as well as the option to allow all three players to play as the same character, hence why all the playable characters are sets of twins or triplets.

Also, the non-Lee characters are locked away as paid unlockables on the item shops, hence why they changed the cool flyer art from the JP version with the five heroes in favor of a lamer one that shows Billy and Jimmy with Sonny.

>>8334557
It's not like Billy and Jimmy's designs were consistent either. In the original arcade game they had pompadours because it was original developed as a sequel to the Kunio-kun arcade game, but on the promo art for the Famicom games they made the Lee brothers look like a pair of Fist of the North Star-looking dudes.

Also, they switched the hair colors of the Lee brothers for some reason on the console versions that Technos made.

Reminds me of Splatterhouse 3's worst ending. If Rick is too slow, both his wife AND son die. Even though the demons have been defeated he's left alone and broken.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPgmY_R83gU

>>8342771
That's also how the original Splatterhouse ended as well. Part II was all about Rick trying to bring back Jennifer from the dead.

>>8343080
>Part II was all about Rick trying to bring back Jennifer from the dead.

I love how the Japanese version of SH2 actually sets up SH3 by reminding you how you removed the forbidden seal to the land of the dead.
The English version changed this to how it can all happen again as long as the mask remains.

>>8333853
>Amazing they got away with it.
The characters are differently designed enough that we wouldn't be able to tell it's a Double Dragon game without knowing the backstory. Hell, the game barely has any recognizable DD characters in it. The hair and color motif are the only thing that look the same about the brothers.

>>8344770
Rage of the Dragons almost made me wished there had been an actual Double Dragon fighting game based on the original beat-'em-ups. The Neo-Geo game was based on the gay movie and Double Dragon V was based on the gay cartoon.

>>8322192
Speaking of Neon, I like how the game starts with one of the brothers saying 'Aww man, not this again', as if it's a regular occurrence for them.

>>8345856
Am I the only one who didn't care much for Double Dragon Neon?

>>8344770
>The hair and color motif are the only thing that look the same about the brothers.
Also the fact that they're brothers named Billy and Jimmy Le*** with a whole dragon theme about them and they like a girl named Maria* and fight a guy named Ab*bo, is mainly what I was referring to.

>>8323713
hating is the default language on the internet, don't think about it.

>>8309929
>Is she really worth the trouble of fighting hundreds of armed gang members, or even killing your own brother?

What a beta orbiter thing to say. Men used to hunt wooly mammoths with their bare hands or raze entire continents on a warpath just to impress a woman.

>>8347123
Sounds like they were massive simps.

>>8346891
For me it was just a dumb kid's film that barely had anything to do with the games. I'm guessing I would've thought differently about it if it was titled something else, but why even bother using the Double Dragon license. I always expected am early 90's Double Dragon to be more like Double Impact.>>8323738

>>8309929

Because all the women turned into wigger mizz trashes with 4 inch finger nails and mixed kids... She was literally the last decent white female available.

So while the dragon brothers had to kick a lot of ass and fought to the death together and defeated all of the evil... They both realized the pussy market was so awful that she was the last worthwhile white female so their aggressive nature to pass their seed takes over and alas sadly they too must fight each other... To the death... There are chink girls but they take too long for delivery and the dragon brothers were sex deprived.

>>8348457

Tldr... Their city was full of wigger girls, dykes, black girls and spic girls... 6 month wait on chink girls which was a hell no time frame... So they needed quality vagina, so even the brothers bond had to be severed unfortunately.

>>8347123
>>8347402
Women are property and they did not hesitate to defend their property

however ancient warriors were too manly and fierce to be afraid to fuck another man in the ass. they did not thirst for women because they satisfied each other in ways that only a real man can. we must return to the old ways brothers.

>>8348457
could be based if they punched the degenerated wigger too

>>8348474
Double Dragon is supposed to be a post-apocalyptic story, isn't it?

>>8348943
I think so yeah, it was a bit based on Fist of the North Star with gangs controlling the streets and stuff.
but then DD3 went weird with some egypt goddess and traveling around the world, i still dont really know wtf that was about.

>>8348965
>but then DD3 went weird with some egypt goddess and traveling around the world, i still dont really know wtf that was about.
The director was a fan of the Bay City Rollers and decided to name the game after Ian Mitchell's side-project band (Rosetta Stone).

>>8348965
>I think so yeah, it was a bit based on Fist of the North Star with gangs controlling the streets and stuff.
Double Dragon never really looked very post-apocalyptic to me, at least not the original arcade game and the whole "post-nuclear war" setting always felt more like an afterthought to explain why Billy and Jimmy didn't just call the cops. I always thought Double Dragon was just set in a generic crime-ridden American city like Final Fight.

>>8350056
True, true. typical "lets say its just like that popular anime to bring in more customers." approach.
I mean, they fight in the forest and even farmland at some points. I wonder where the post apocalyptic story originated from.. was it in the Japanese story or was it made up by the U.S.?

Shame actually, imagine DD1 and DD2 having real post apocalyptic backgrounds, destroyed skyscrapers and fires and trashed cars and whatnot.

I wonder why they didn't just do that, they had the skills.

>>8348909

You can beat up wiggers in Urban Reign for ps2../ but it's better to pretend they don't even exist

>>8348943

Japanese story. The soundtrack tape comes with a liner note explaining the game's story, but it came out around the time they were doing the Famicom version, hence the same character art.

Why does Mask Guy disintegrate

>>8350759

That would be Burnov, who according to his bio is apparently a pro wrestler, and pro wrestlers have always been known for their shenanigans!
(Remember how Warrior liked to use trap doors and smoke while in WCW?)

Also, here's an interesting tidbit regarding Burnov..
-----------------------------------------------------------

According to Koji Ogata, graphic designer who worked in several Double Dragon titles,
including the arcade version of Double Dragon II, Burnov is just a modified sprite of "Abdullah the Butcher",
a real-world professional wrestler from the West that was planned to appear in WWF Superstars, another Technōs game.
Apparently, this was made in order to speed up production of the game.

>>8350914
Oh and the rest..

Abdullah didn't actually appear in WWF Superstars, he was exclusively created for the game in its early stages of development, before the WWF license was acquired, and remained just as an unused asset until his sprite was repurposed for Double Dragon II, where Burnov was given an outfit that was possibly based off of the costume of Lord Humungus from Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior.
Ogata also stated that Burnov's mask was actually based off of the helmet of RoboCop, who has body armor made from titanium laminated with Kevlar.[4]

>>8350914
>>8350917
Yeah, and Abore, the second boss of DD2AC, was also redraw of another WWF Superstars character, Andre the Giant. I don't know if Chin Taimei (the kali stick wielder at the end of Mission 3) was fully original or another redraw.

>>8350326
>>8350056
Post apocalyptic does not strictly mean post-nuclear or post-devastation. One of the other kinds, which I think DD is, is the creep of decay and societal breakdown. Similar to the first Mad Max movie where things are just slipping away and turning to shit. Civil structures vanish and new power groups start to assert themselves, like Willie and his weird martial arts cult in the mountain.

>>8350914
Man, fuck Abdullah the Butcher.
>Have hep C
>Don't tell anyone
>Wrestle for years where your main gimmick is to bleed all over the place and on your opponents
>Ruin several careers and lives

>>8351967
Bleeding on people is more dangerous than I thought

>>8350914
Even though Ogata denied it, I still think Burnov's mask was ripped off from Neptuneman.

Also, why is this thread on auto-sage?
