What is your all time favorite beat 'em up?
I would have a tough time telling you but its probably SOR2 or cyberbots

[Anonymous No.5877419]

>>5877382
Not a fan of beat-'em-up's buy throw a good flog'n'jog, hop'n'bop, whip'n'skip, bump'n'grind, shoot'n'scoot, stop'n'chop, smash'n'dash or pound'n'bound in front of me and I'm game son.
Not a common choice but I will say the Tekken modes are fun once in a while, like Tekken 3 or whatever where you can play the game like that.

Final Fight, it's unrefined compared to later beat em ups but the enemies are absolutely relentless and the game really wants you dead like no other beat em up I've played. No idea how Capcom managed to nail so much first try

Turtles in Time

[Anonymous No.5877473]

>>5877382
Can’t pick just one
>Turtles 2
>Hyperstone Heist
>Streets of Rage 3

NES version of Double Dragon 2

[Anonymous No.5877517]

>>5877382
Previously was Cadillacs and Dinosaurs and Turtles in Time. Them I found it, The mostry amazing Beat'em up of all time, the timeless classic Dungeons and Dragons: Shadow over Mystara. Wish I could get a grasp on something as magnificent as that.

Try Cyborg Justice. For a Genesis controller, you have an awful lot of functions. It's not like other brawlers, but it's pretty neat.

The Punisher

Dynamite Cop

>>5877481
Legit. I like the way you can straight up assrape the enemies in the arcade version, but the slowdown is such a pain in the ass.

[Anonymous No.5878929]

>>5878027
Was way into that game when it came out. Being able to rip cyborgs apart, and taking their components in real time was the shit. Kind of a flimsy game otherwise, but it was fun for sure.

Totally, this game is addictive.

[Anonymous No.5880115]

My first two favorites are not retro DNF and Sengoku 3 but behind that probably Violent Storm.

[Anonymous No.5880124]

SoR3 is my fav rump 'n jump game

[Anonymous No.5880145]

Streets of Rage 2. Also has best OST.

[Anonymous No.5880169]

splatterhouse 3 for genesis.
river city ransom for nes.
the 2nd DnD for arcade.

[Anonymous No.5880638]

>>5877430
This but only the arcade version. That or the original.

[Anonymous No.5880703]

Tekken Force mode in T3. We need more fighting game beat em up hybrids, with full character movesets and bigger rosters. Traditional beat em ups are pretty shallow since you normally only have a small handful of characters (at best) that play similarly.

[Anonymous No.5880717]

>>5880703
Guilty Gear Judgement did that. It sucked big time. Big movesets are nice and all, but no one's going to balance all that shit so you end up incoherent messes or comically exploitable games. Tekken 3 Force is like that too, you pick a couple of moves and use them against all the identical enemies.

They had that six-player variant at the local movie theatre. I remember playing it before going to see Street Fighter: The Movie. Didn't it have two CRTs side-by-side?

[Anonymous No.5881421]

>>5880717
Huh I didn't think Judgement was bad at all. It was a fun diversion for an hour or two. Doing reverse qcb motions without switching sides was the only problem I had with it.

This isn't /v/. So, yes.

[Anonymous No.5881453]

for me it's EIGHTMAN.

[Anonymous No.5881653]

>>5881421
I dunno man if you only played through it once and dropped it immediately after without 1cc'ing the harder difficulties that's not a very fun game in my book.

[Anonymous No.5881658]

>>5881653
I don't remember if I 1cc'd but it's not a very difficult game. I'm pretty sure it can be cheesed easily.

But yes, you're correct. After I unlocked every character I just ended up replaying GGXX and forgot about Judgement. Not a bad deal for 10 bucks though.

AvP the Cps2 game.

60 cents for a play back in the day,

Never finished it back in the day, but holy fuck did i spend a lot of pocket change on it.

TIME TO HUNT

It isn't official but I got to go with the Streets of Rage fan remake. Its got some issues but it just hits all the right spots for me as a beat 'em up. The only real negatives I see in it are that you can spam star moves with no penalties if you have your games settings to allow it and that some bosses can be a bit too hard due to the way the AI works.

[Anonymous No.5882251]

Die Hard Arcade and Dynamite Cop

[Anonymous No.5882283]

>>5877382
Hmm probably Streets of Rage 2 and Hyperstone Heist. Both D&D games and Punisher for arcade too.
But really, they're usually generally too simplistic. That genre really needed some RPG elements baked into it.

[Anonymous No.5882316]

>>5882283
No way, RPG elements are gay and make the games worse

[Anonymous No.5882821]

The Adventures of Bayou Billy.

No it isn't, that's a lie.

[Anonymous No.5882825]

>>5882821
Bayou Billy kicks ass especially the light gun parts

[Anonymous No.5882847]

>>5882825
Well okay, those I will agree on, those parts are pretty rad
