It will always tickle me pink that the best classic Beat Em Up was not an arcade game, but a console exclusive

Theyre called belt scrollers tho

why wouldn't it be? console games have to be deeper to justify the purchase cost.

It is bemusing to me because archetypically, console versions of arcade games are considered inferior, and because Beat Em Ups were a genre of gaming designed for arcades. It is funny to be, some form of irony.

It doesnt really take any different approach than arcade-based titles or tweak the genre in any way though. It's simply significantly easier

learn how to 1cc arcade bmups and you'll never be able to go back to shites of rage and will see all its abysmal flaws, the only thing good about it is the music. It's clunky, overlong, eats inputs on higher modes, has absolutely no balancing so they just chucked lives at you like candy to get around it on higher difficulties, and teaches you bad habits whilst starving you of having to learn proper skills which are necessary to 1cc arcade bmups. It's passable by console standards and nothing more, can't hold a candle to the top 15 arcade bmups.

I'll agree that spamming your special move gets really, really annoying pretty quick. I don't bother with it anymore until the last 3 stages when shit gets a bit too crazy.

It is. That's like a PlayChoice-type machine but better implemented, as the coins buy you lives in-game and not just time

Belt brawlers' core audience, like in most non competitive arcade games, was casual and semi-casual players that were willing to invest a bunch of quarters in every session, often in co-op modes and not necessarily with the intention of beating the game. That's who the games were designed for: people who were willing to lose and retry. So the design didn't need that much focus on usability and a satisfying learning curve like home system games did, just making them stimulating and fun enough to play even while still overwhelming for regular players.

1cc autists are an inevitably generated but minor sub-audience made of people willing to invest enough time and money to "learn" the game.

Beat em ups like shoot em ups are a trash genre that is thankfully dead.
May they never come back and may their fans seethe eternally.

Little Japanese men are inside the machine running on the belt when it's time to scroll the screen. That's why they're also called walky-punchys and jab n joggers.
