How do you memorize spawn points?

>>	Anonymous Sun Oct 11 20:57:02 2015 No.2733129 >>2733097 How about you save yourself the trouble and just play a better beat'em up. Beat'em ups should be about improvisation not memorization.

Well what we need is an annotated list of best beat em ups ever, broken down by platform, with brief descriptions and difficulty rating, but anonymous never comes through.

Come on anonymous, I'm entitled to free stuff that requires lots of work from you.

>>	Anonymous Sun Oct 11 22:30:31 2015 No.2733289 >>2733171 Yeah but it's a way bigger part of some games than others

OK, between those two posts, that is in fact just about exactly what I asked for, mind=blown.

That's a really good website, the maker ought to editorialize a bit and make a top 10 list or something though. Looks like he doesn't count Ninja Warriors though :\ probably racist against single plane games

>>	Anonymous Mon Oct 12 08:22:04 2015 No.2733920 >>2733897 >Looks like he doesn't count Ninja Warriors though :\ probably racist against single plane games Nah he most likely forgot about it since he included damn Goemon 2 as a beat 'em up.

>>	Anonymous Mon Oct 12 10:00:31 2015 No.2733994 >>2733920 Also includes NARC on NES but not the arcade game. I was looking around for quality Genesis beat em ups but it looks like very slim pickings once you get past 1st party games.

>>	Anonymous Mon Oct 12 13:52:35 2015 No.2734257 >>2733097 There isn't really a technique I use, if a part gives me trouble enough times I'll eventually just remember that's the part that kicks my ass.

>>	Anonymous Mon Oct 12 14:03:56 2015 No.2734279 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaaTRlKXTYs That game has an amazing soundtrack

>>	Anonymous Mon Oct 12 14:05:42 2015 No.2734281 >>2733994 Which is weird, since the genesis was more suited for beat ups than the snes, as proven by streets of rage.

>>	Anonymous Mon Oct 12 14:06:44 2015 No.2734282 >>2734279 Sounds a bit like Killer Instinct. Same composer et al.

Is there any documentation on the development of the Battletoads arcade game? I remember someone bringing up in a skill-run about how it seemed unfinished, and I kinda agree, or at the very least they got bored with it and just ended it without finishing it to the level they may have initially planned.

-The boss of level 2 is Karnath, despite there having been apparent plans to include a much more fitting Admiral Oink character (wearing a Santa costume) in the game

-Dark Queen has a full boss portrait appear despite her only showing up as a hologram in the level

-The high score system only saves your score if you actually clear the game, if I remember correctly.

>>	Anonymous Mon Oct 12 14:26:20 2015 No.2734315 >>2734305 Karnath was obviously meant for the rappel rope level. The ending is really funny. The ship crashes into an unknown planet but they just teleport back to base and end the game.

Yeah, SoR on harder difficulties is about the only evidence for that. I really like Alien Storm and Golden Axe but I think the SNES could probably handle either of them just fine. It's been a while but I don't recall HH being significantly faster or more sprite-heavy than TiT. I wouldn't be surprised if some multiplats were smoother on Genesis but in most cases I don't care anyway because they're crappy licensed games.

>>2734315
Speaking of unfinished stuff, maybe they should've given Karnath a second attack and about half as much HP.

Golden Axe II on hard mode is good.

inb4 that one kid who judges a game's quality and difficulty based on only the first 2 levels (because he doesn't have time to complete a game because he has 700 more roms left to test out and act knowledgeable about) comments "that game is easy just use dash attacks".
