- Truly awesome game!
-
- Well, there has been discussion on it, and VR, and so forth.
-
- Who gives a toss? It's a good game, the action is the most realistic I
- have seen since Pit Fighter, and it's addictive.
-
- I have pushes too many $2 coins into it... 8-(
-
- Oh - anyone got a list of moves for it? I still haven't worked out a
- single special attack, bar Sonya's leg flip (and I don't know how I did
- it 8-) - feel free to email me here (but no, I wont mail the list back
- out - I'll post it somewhere for all to see after I've made a
- copilation!)
-
- BTW, awesome graphics. Get that on VR, and you'd be _Smokin'_. From a
- totally martial arts point of view, their coreographing is excellent,
- and it reacts better than any game I've played to fighting situations
- (within the unreal bounds of a video game; how many people to *you* know
- who can take a spinning kick to the head? :) From an artists point of
- view - excellent imagery and graphics. The only remotely cheesy bits
- are the blood [esp when Kano (I think?) rips out someone's heart (not
- spine, I don't think - too small! ;)], or when Sonya torches someone,
- the skeleton is a bit unreal and stiff, and finally, Scorpion's head
- (the skull, that is) when he whips off his mask to breath fire is a bit
- cheesy as well. From a totally male chovanistic point of view, I would
- mind meetinf Sonya over a few quite drinks... ;)
-
- "FINISH HIM! Excellent... Raiden Wins..." Fatality bonus, 100,00.
- Flawless Victory, 200,000. Gee, I love it when that happens!
-
- Anyway, I can only get up to the mirror match without key codes and
- combos (I got to the first Endurance ONCE, but flukes don't really
- count). So mail me your combos, and you Finish fatality combos, and
- some more amusing graphical experiences, and I'll compile and re-post.
-
- To each contributor, I'll mail the list...
-
- [Here's to hoping I get more than 2 replies... ;]
-
- Later!
