Bloody Roar's fate is a tragedy squared, the series' publishing rights belonged to Hudson, which then died and got aborbed by Konami, yes Konami of all things. We live in a world where Bubsy's rights got bought on meme value alone and still got games pumped out, meanwhile Bloody Roar is buried 7 feet deep in Konami's graveyard.
It's truly a depressing thought.
The best bet for any kind of sequel is the Igarashi style of some eager developer looking to make their niche, takes the concepts of the original game and just makes their own not-Bloody Roar.
Well, after Konami went insane, they gave us Super Bomberman R, which is more like Hudson's flagship franchise. And it was warmly received... MUCH better than how they did it with Contra. I guess Konami these days would do better on Hudson properties?
Either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become a villain. If it ever does come back you know konami will pull a metal gear survive.
Oh geez.. Konami? Well i guess I guess I must make peace that it will never come back in my life time.
Kids, the moral of this story is that Konami ruins everything.
the next time we see a new bloody roar announcement probably be a pachinko/slot machine, like what happened with silent hill & castlevania, unless someone bought the rights.
You either die a hero...or live long enough to see yourself become a Pachinko machine
I literally came down to the comments to post something similar but you beat me to it.
Still: Fuck Konami!
#Fuckonami, cuz Konami is Konami, and Konami is the worst.

Bloody Roar definitely needs to come back
Agreed
Agreed.
Agreed and with a bigger roster to compete with other fighters.
Agreed
@@frostfyrezero1830 I honestly want to see a pangolin character in this new roster; he or she would be so defensive and adorable in beast form, I'd probably rage quit the first few times. Lol
bloody roar, rival schools, CvS needs another entry....power stone gets an honorable mention
Rival schools was the shit, played that so much
Power Stone 2, Rival Schools and Bloody Roar 2 were my top 3 back in middle school up until early highschool. My friends and I only got to play PS2 and RS on arcade cabinets, so we mostly played BR2 over the weekends or after school since a friend had a copy.
YES, YES, YES all of this!!!
Power Stone gets more than an honorable mention.
@@lordhughmungus the thing with me and power stone is that even though its fun, it lacked depth. it really boils down to runng around throwing stuff at your opponent/get that quick combo to pop their power stones, get the power stones, spam specials, finish off with their super before the gems loses its power. it was a pick up and play game and not necessarily ima devote hrs into learning the mechanics and get good game.
Me: Why hasn’t there been a new Bloody Roar
Matt: Konami
Well actually the trademark has been updated
@@9773an WHich probablyt just means there's a pachinko machine in the works.
@@Magitek1112 lets not jump to conclusions just yet. konami may own them but they are a different branch. i never had problems with pachinko machines anyway. I always laughed when people get angry seeing them
@@9773an That and I think I hear Sony partnering with Konami for this (to the point people thought Sony wanted to buy Konami). If there's Sony nearby, Konami wouldn't want to turn the franchise in pachinko, they only do it when they're the sole developer for it and no one else is looking.
Or you better just hope that Sony puts a gun on Konami's head and tell them NOT to make this a pachinko.
The term #FuckKonami exists for a reason, people.
I cry for Darkstalkers, power stone, rival schools, and deff Bloody Roar. I'd be cool with a re-release of any of these games. But if Konami has it I weep infinite tears.
How cool would it be to see all those games in the modern day graphics engine? They would look so cool and most likely play well too. It's too bad they are in the hands of an incompetent company who can't see hidden treasure.
Darkeclipse2 Capcom owns Darkstalkers I think. And maybe Rival Schools too. Not sure anyway Capcom loves making amazing remakes, reboots, remasters, maybe there’s a chance of those two coming back. Power Stone is that owned by Sega? Google just told me it’s owned by Capcom too. So IDK maybe there’s a chance for all three of those. Konami doesn’t like making video games anymore so there’s definitely no chance (or probably not at least) for Bloody Roar sadly as much as I would love it. It would be awesome if those games all came back.
Your tears are all of our tears, friend.
How about Evil Zone?
Power stone😢😭
I feel like I'm seeing more love for Bloody Roar these days and I'm here for it.
#FuckKonami
There was hint that the trademark was updated
Holy crap, that story for Blood Roar 4 is just a string of random words put together from a natural language parser that has only been trained on video game movie plots that were translated from english to japanese and then back to english. What a trip!
God, I haven't seen Bloody Roar since I was a young child. This is certainly a fighting series that needs a reboot.
BLoody Roar was such a fun, beginner friendly fighting game!
Bloody Roar: Primal fury is burned into my subconscious.
As a broke boi, I wanna say it was one of those Wal-Mart demo/trial games you'd run off to while your parents shopped...
Bruh I swear wheneva my moms went shoppin at walmart I begged to come everytime just to play dat shit.
3:28 what could be more scary/ferocious in nature than the "MATURE FEMALE WOMAN" ? Truly the default/ultimate form of a final boss circa 1997.
Nostalia is bleeding out, I was addicted in bloody roar 2 during my high school years, Shen Long forever
the moment i fgured out his combo from human into beast drive finisher.... i was the happiest boy on earth. And hence forth I build the stomp attack randomly into the combo chain.... so cool. Gado's hidden combo was a nice find too.
So I decided to see what Eighting has been up to since MvC3 and surprised to find out that they are still making "Fighting Games", just not very complex ones. They have been making more generic 3D Anime style fighting games similar to games like the Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm series or Jojo's Bizzare Adventure All Star Battle. Their last two games in this sub-genre (I guess?) were Kamen Rider Climax Scramble and Zoids Wild: King of Blast (which is certainly a name). In fact speaking of Kamen Rider, it was also interesting to find out they've been making console Kamen Rider games since the first Climax Heroes on PS2 and developed that series as well as the Dynasty/Samurai Warriors' styled Battride War games.
Damn, I put so many hours into Primal Fury back in the day...this game was amazing. I would love to see Bloody Roar return...
Jesus! Someone finally talks about this game! Such a forgotten fighting game series, it makes me sad no one remembers these games...
Many still remembers, but almost none wanted to revive it...
🥲
Could someone have potentially had a dinosaur form? It'd be pretty ridiculous to have someone turn into a Brachiosaurus.
Now I wanna see Beast Wars Megatron appear as a guest character. Yeeesssssssss.
I wanna be the one with 500 teeth
“SFV cries in input laggy fetal position”
Seriously Capcom, fix your fighting game division.
Other than the netcode the game is actually fine
@@SquallNoctisGUX fight money gains are getting consistently lower, they added loot boxes, theres so many dlc costumes its not even funny, there are about 3 good newcomers in a sea of boring dicks, it took em years to have an arcade mode and are acting like the addition of one was a big deal worth paying extra...you sure about that statement buddy?
Capcom: We were gonna...but Itsuno wanted a bajillion dollars to make Dragon’s Dogma 2. We gave the Street Fighter dept a bowl of rice and some tap water to get them through the rest of the year.
@@isaacsussman5632 “they added loot boxes” Lootboxes that you cant spend real money on and only give some new colors for default costumes or some random objects to put in the dojo? oh noes how dare they!
“There so many dlc costumes” so what? are you some fortnite baby that feels an urge to buy every skin available? if they keep making costumes because people buy them, people buy them bacause they like what they see
“there are about 3 good newcomers” So how many GOOD newcomers would the game need to receive your holiness approval? 4? 5? maybe 14?. fuuny thing is, 3 good newcomes is more than sf4 ever had LMAO!
“acting like the addition of one was a big deal worth paying extra” paying extra for what exactly? arcade mode was a free update for everybody when AE cameout, dummy. Yes it should had been there from the start but capcom sometimes gonna capcom
The only good argument you bring is the lower fight money income, i guess grinding harder to get free characters is something the sfv fan base had to deal with.
I notice that none of what you said had nothing to do with the actual core of the game, you know the actual gameplay. Maybe @X's ARCADE is right, sfv is a fine game. lol
We need at least a Rival Schools/Project Justice and Power Stone reboots or sequels.
The sequel, Bloody Roar 2, was one of the best fighters out there. 3 was good too.
3 blows 2 out but extreme is the best
@@sashagrey5001 Agreed!
I forgot how awesome Primal Fury's soundtrack was. The freeway stage easily has my favorite song.
Freeway was great, but I nominate Primal Fury's Main Menu as possibly best menu theme of all time: ua-cam.com/video/qvKUNfQq8Uo/v-deo.html
@@CNightmare072 SAME. It's easily the best Fighting game menu theme ever in my opinion (well tied with Dead or Alive 3's menu theme lol).
Aw man, the memories. I loved Bloody roar, and while sure you could call me a furry in this instance, I had such a crush on Alice and her alternate form. Then.. primal fury changed her model design turning her from a bunny lady, to basically a bunny.. with vaguely anthro features.
I had such a stupid crush on Cronos back in the day. The phoenix guy that could also be a penguin.
I remember one of the big unlocks is Alice in her schoolgirl uniform. Kind of creepy.
Yeah, I never cared for what Primal Fury did to Alice's Bunny form. Said form definitely looked best in the first game. 2 was okay, but 3 made her look all weird in her default outfit, like her pelvis was dislocated or something.
Bloody Roar 2 was our go-to game when I was I think 11 up until I was 14. I never owned a copy, so it was one of those games where my friends and I played at the house of our one friend who had a copy. Ahhh sweet nostalgia.
PS: I mostly played either Stun or Bakuryu.
PSS: I forgot about Shenlong. Shenlong was pretty strong.
Bro thank you for making this , Bloody roar is so underrated and forgotten, this franchise was badass
Kekked hard at beastorizer
Here in Germany it was sold as "bloody roar" tho, strange as back then Germany really had a thing for renaming media
I remember Long's 21 or 20 hit combo, was so cool and easy to pull off. In beast mode of course. Maximize.
Damn right this doesn't feel like a fighting era for me until i see this back.
The battles mechanic is way more unique they have fast dodge, hyper or Rave mode & lightning counter that made you invincible for second & that Beast Drive there was nothing so brutal so lethal as those in any fighting game.
Thanks again for the credit Matt, appreciate it! Most UA-camrs wouldn't be so thoughtful.
I saved and saved my allowance for a ps1 and ff7 and bloody roar. What a great summer!
6:10 Tylon experiments
MITSUKO’S DAUGHTER IS A CAT
but after reacue she cannot fully transform...
BTW her boss beast form is Uranus the Chimera... was that the plan? A Chimera army?
Hudson Soft did renew the trademark last year and had it extended into 2028. There is still hope of another Bloody Roar being released, albeit slight.
I'm so happy you did this video. I'm really into the FGC and Bloody Roar is a game that always gets criminally overlooked. Primal Fury was my jam and i still play it with friends constantly.
It’s so crazy that you uploaded this cuz just a WEEK ago i was remembering that this series existed and started to watch BR2 videos on youtube to reminisce on the times when i was 10 years old and rented the game any chance i got. i loved that game so much
also just a couple days ago i ordered BR: Extreme for the xbox. i can’t wait till i receive it. thanks for such a throwback of a video
I was playing Bloody Roar 2 the other day. Will always have a place in my heart.
I've been waiting so long for this to get a respectable remake.
Bloody roar 2 is my favorite fighting game of all time. Thanks for covering this matt!
I never played anything past BRII, but man, what a fun game. You hit the nail on the head: this was something anyone could pick up and play, but with enough depth to be rewarding. I used to play it with the kids I was babysitting all the time.
Had to do a double take when I saw this video pop up on my feed.
Loved these series so much, and yeah, it was definitely one of those fun weekend fighters!
Excellent work on the vid!
Lopunny: I'm the original thicc anthro bunny.
*Alice would like to know your location*
but matt, the howard connection was totally legit
The second game is my favourite one in the series, and my favourite one in the PS1.
"mas alucard.... "
Imagine if they did make a new Bloody Roar game but it was in the same anime style as Primal Fury?
Extreme*
my friend and I actually pooled money to collect most of the Bloody Roar games a few years back, we've had a blast playing them, I would be so excited for a sequel
I loved playing Bloody Roar 3. I was a young boy with a PS2 and this fighting game is a total gem for me. I dont like fighting games much but this aside from MK made me a fan of the genre. So much fun. Im ssd HUDSON disappeared.
On one hand, the nostalgia runs deep. I'm glad to have played all of them when I was younger (including that Beastorizer arcade game, but in a roller rink). And I wholesomely agree--that Siliconera article was indeed a hard FU.
But on the other hand, some fighters and practices today---not to mention that Konami possibly has rights to this, what?!---kinda makes me fearful of Bloody Roar's return to relevance. I'd welcome a new game, but with a bit of caution.
This is a great vid, though. Consider me subbed!
From Bahrain here! The sports club that housed the taekwondo I used to go to when I was 12, had a bloody roar 2 cabinet setup in the main lobby. I used to gawk at that cabinet along with afterburner, and metal slug the most.
"My revenge has only begun." Bzzzzzztttttt -Stun the insect
The noise of Stun's wings has been burned into my memory since I was like 5, lmao.
@@Graysett those wings were too funny, buzzing all over the stage. I like to cancel out and spam his wing moves lol
EAT DIS!! HMMM
My god I remember playing Bloody Roar with my cousins back then. It along with Melee and Street Fighter were my first look into the fighting game genre.
My favorite character was Yugo the shonen protagonist Wolf.
The Bloody Roar franchise is actually a lotta fun for a retired fighting game series.
I would LOVE a remake/reboot of the series featuring the entire cast of the first 2 games.
I still play bloody roar 1 and 2 to current times because I love the lore and characters.
Yugo's sprint + jump & double kick was awesome. You would run from the other side of the ring to violenly push the opponement against the fence breaking it and winning the round.
Oh, the happiness and sadness this video makes me feel. Happy that people still love Bloody Roar as much as I do..and sad that we'll probably never see a new entry. Especially if Konami does still hold the license. It'll be left to die like so many others..
Nagi is really reminding me of Kasumi from Dead or Alive
10:04 - 10:41
“I hope that clears everything up”
😂😂😂 I was more clueless after
A local Ice rink had a Beastorizers cabinet for a little while and I'm convince it only ever got my quarters cause I was the only kid that ever played that thing. Then I never saw anything about this series until years later when I found Primal Fury at a thrift shop and picked it up, I still boot it up occasionally. Would love to see a new Bloody Roar game but I think odds are low for that right now.
Bloody roar on the playstation family of systems was a huge part of my childhood. The third installment being my favorite. I cant count the number of hours i spent in practice honing my skills so i could whoop on my buds.
I had everything memorized to the point where I beat the game on hardest difficulty with Gado in One Minute and Nine Seconds.
1. Bloody Roar is coming back. I found out after a lot of investigating. Don't say I didn't tell you, and don't even try to hit me with the old Konami pessimistic attitude, because Bomberman R, and the turbografx 16 mini with Hudson titles are right there. Konami/Hudson has done good, recently. (if you exclude what they've done to SIlent Hill, and Contra. I won't include Metal Gear since Metal Gear Survive is a spinoff..) Eighting's still around too, so they can def. make a new BR alongside "Kohudson" ua-cam.com/video/SB1Qu6RA2lo/v-deo.html
2. There's a Bloody Roar Discord, the community is definitely there: discord.gg/VJz57cr
3. Guides for mechanics / tech for Bloody Roar are a thing since the series has a lot of depth: ua-cam.com/play/PLf8OfEiWYGcBbriOSxYPPeTBRw-MYbcY-.html
4. There's been a petition that's been doing successful for Bloody Roar:
www.change.org/p/the-world-needs-a-new-bloody-roar-konami?use_react=false
5. The Revival Plan video.
ua-cam.com/video/N9iqfGuSaYI/v-deo.html
6. Online matches are a thing on my channel and my friend's:

ua-cam.com/channels/l6vzJ8s9CJITUMGKznku7A.html
Thanks to Konami we'll NEVER see another proper Bloody Roar game ever again.
Btw Uriko the cat is really the first iteration of the Chimera Project, similar to Uranus the Chimera, Uriko lost her memories which is why she was only able to transform half way which is the cat girl form.
Bloody Roar was my first real fighting game. It was my favorite thing to play whenever we made the trip to see our grandparents, and my uncle would come over. Oddly enough, the game was still called Bloody Roar, and not "Beastorizer" which... Probably suggests my uncle might have gotten a not-so-legal copy back then. I liked it so much that I was floored when my dad got us a PS2 and BR3. Absolutely my favorite fighting game, and few others manage to get close to what I liked so much about it. Bloody Roar is also probably the reason why I like strong women so much, cuz... Shina... Thanks for telling me about Primal Fury, I need to look for a copy now.
Are they button mashers? Yes. Are they rad as fuckin' hell? Also, yes.
Uranus and Alice are best waifus.
This man said Umemaro 3D... Lol.
I remember seeing Bloody Roar in FYE as a kid, though i never got to play it.
I finally had my chance w/Bloody Roar 2. i loved doing the rapid punch attack w/Long the Tiger; it looked so cool; he was my favorite!
The next time i saw Bloody Roar was w/Primal Fury. It was such an improvement over 2. Shina's titties bounced. She became my new favorite.
That game had a lot of cool stuff though, probably my favorite in the series.
I enjoyed Bloody Roar 4, the extra Beast Drives and Nagi was my favorite. But F**k that dragon monk and his loli maiden too (well, the dragon was kinda cool).
I love the surprisingly deep lore of old fighting games like this, KI, MK and SC. Very creative, bizarre and badass.
Loves the hell out of BR3. Friends and I played that so much, disc got worn out. Wish I had kept it. Didn't think I'd go for such a high price these days 😂
Huh. An interesting niche series that has a dedicated fanbase. So of course Konami owns it. Shame.
Yuuuuuuuu-gi oh oh oh oh.....
Konami still owns it? REST ASSURE MATT! IT'S BOUND TO APPEAR A PACHINKO OR SLOT MACHINE BLOODY ROAR AT SOME POINT!!!
I remember playing bloody roar 1 for the first time with my brother and cousins when I was younger, it was amazing. We all took turns trying to beat that arcade mode with our favorite character and trying to beat each other in versus. It was truly a memory I cherish dearly.
I need bloody roar to come back.
growing up in Lagos, Nigeria, Bloody Roar gave me so many awesome memories. I miss it dearly. so sad.
Bloody Roar is such a fantastic series and gave me a lot of inspiration for my own characters and stories and I would kill for a Bloody Roar 5 made with love and care and not as a throwaway title just for the sake of saying "Here, you got it"
Though personally if I could make one change to BR if they ever did that would be to change Nagi's beast form to something more beastly, make her into a Kiwi Bird or a Praying Mantis or something, not this Kasumi from Dead or Alive badly cosplaying Bloodrayne while flailing around weaponized tumors, maybe add some extra characters like those from Metamorphic Force or something or maybe a guest character like Jon Talbain from Darkstalkers he would be perfect for that kind of game and would be a nice change of pace instead of adding the Scottish Charlotte Flair known as Morrigan.
Primal Fury was my jam back in the day. Best in the series.
I miss bloody roar so much... BR2 and 3 basically made my childhood
Ok, before even watching I want to say THANK YOU!
Bloody Roar 2 is THE game that got me seriously into fighting games. Sure I had played my share of MD/Genesis titles (SSF2turbo, MK3, Fatal Fury) but BR2 really was the first fighting game that got me so enthralled to learn and practice combos with all the characters to the point nobody would want to play against me any more when I was 10 and I had, like, 4 games on the PlayStation. It will always have a sweet spot in my heart :')
1000% on board here.
A-cho or Kouhatsu some other arcade still has matches and even tournaments for BR 1, 2 and 3 cabs.
One of my greatest failings in life is never having found the anime series which most definitely is a real thing that existed in some capacity, just not now.
Also Extreme was on Gamecube (in Japan) as well with Fang in it, progressive scan enabled and the animated scenes removed for weird CGI.
I wish someone would pick this title up and make a good reboot of it.
As a kid, my dad had a demo disc with one of the, “Bloody Roar” games on it, I don’t remember which one. I do remember enjoying it as a kid, and also remember my dad referring to it as, “Boring Snore” lmao, we played mostly Tekken 3 at the time.
One thing I will give Blood Roar 4 credit for over 3/Primal Fury - it allows you to sidestep with up/down rather than shoulder buttons
11:04 Unborn are extinct species
Stun’s ending has him possessed by them to bring them back... somehow...
Mi hermano, cálmate. Ya has escrito 3 comentarios...
I hope that one day Bloody Roar returns and as great as my favorite Bloody Roar 3. Too bad I never played Bloody Roar Primal Fury that sounded good too.
Uranus is most likely a clone of Uriko, the BR1 Uriko to be exact
Its kinda disappointing that with so many MGS VA being in Primal Fury, they did not cast David Hayter as Xion, for those who did not know, was THE Guyfer, the 2nd live action one, to be exact
Pak-Mann arcade in Pasadena, CA had all 3 cabs. Place was sketchy af but obscure stuff would pop up there all the time.
I remember when I was looking up moves on game faqs for shina I was slightly confused on who I saw wrote that faq
Best Bloody Roar retrospective ever, what an awesome and underrated 3D fighting series and yes, Bloody Roar 4 was a poor finale for the franchise.
My reaction while watching this video:
"Bloody Roar is due a comeback!"
IP owned by Konami.
"Okay nevermind, that'll never happen. RIP Bloody Roar."
Oh man, this brings back the memories. I remember buying a Japanese bootleg copy of BR2 for PS1. That metal music video intro had me won over. And I hadn't even started the game. That game was so hype. #BRINGBACKBLOODYROAD
I would throw all my money at a bloody Roar reboot
Saaaame
Indeed
16:48 So what of this One Hit Hills mode? Sounds interesting
I believe its a Weezer song? i could be wrong.
Glad that someone else has fever dreams about Bloody Roar
oh MAN this brings back some nostalgia, the first bloody roar was the first fighting game i ever played. i was like 6 and i loved it (even though my mum made me play with the blood setting turned off), and until a couple years ago i had no idea that it was even a franchise with other entries. i'm not a really active fighting games person but i love the gimmick so much that if they ever rebooted it i'd probably pick up a copy
Bro your videos and commentary are hilarious and insightful. I really hope we get a new Bloody Roar this was one series that was a huge part of my childhood.
This makes me sad,i love the bloody roar series and knowing Konami has a death grip on the ip,i feel like we will never get another great Bloody Roar game again #FuckKonami.
Konami needs to redeem themselves by being sane again by firing that asshole Hideki Hayakawa he's just as worst as the current president of WWE who's been fucking up the WWE literately Nick Khan or should I said Shao Nick Kahn!
MY GOD I MISS THAT GAME!!! I will talk with some people that I brought this game up and it was funny how everybody remembered after I brought it up but it’s great to see you I’m not the only one that love this damn franchise!!!
I replayed bloody roar recently on psone. It's so good, brutal and satisfying.
Hey there, I just saw this video and really loved seeing Bloody Roar getting some love.
Btw there's something I'd like to share here: part of a small but fairly active community, and we're trying to rekindle interest in the BR franchise by building up a competitive online scene for the games. We mostly play Bloody Roar Extreme using the Dolphin Emulator's built-in Netplay feature.
Here's a link to the discord in case anyone's interested in participating (we have comprehensive tutorials for setting up the emulator and the online features, so don't worry): discord.gg/fYtTgmU
Everyone has there own favourite nostalgic fighting game
I liked Cardinal Sin, killing floor Digimon rumble, jurrasic park warpath an the unholy war
But only bloody roar 2 is in the top 5 fighting games on PS1
Man I had that jurassic park game it was awesome when you ate a human or a tiny dinosaur to get some health back, and I broke 2 controllers from playing br2 so much
Me and my mom used to have a blast playing Bloody Roar. This game has major nostalgia for me
The best part of bloody rorar 4, you could get moves from different characters to yours. This makes unlimited variations or you can just have the best fighting style with your fighter.
Edit: It is Kaiser lol! That sounds like KaiserNeko😭in the story lore part
I loved the first Bloody Roar. I chose it from blockbuster one day as a kid. Must have been just for the name alone. The boss in the first game I believe is a little girl and some of her origin is revealed by unlock. I know the second one was more popular and Egoraptor was a fan of it and once said he played it in a competition. I never played the sequels myself. The fox being dropped kind of sucks because that was a favorite of mine. Discovered later she is possibly transgender. She was definitely born male. Always seemed kind of androgynous.
Hans has the same deal as Poison with different regions giving different definitions but certainly queer. I personally found fascinating if applying a self indentification journey being muddled further by being able to transform into the fox. Some of their moves were given to Jenny but not really the same. And the boss girl is Uriko and Uranus.
I’ve never heard of this series and there’s so many entries. It’s incredible. Thank you Matt for this content
My god, this was a GOOD watch. THANK YOU. I played every entry and owned 3, primal and the played the Kojima destruction version a few rounds with my boys and we put it down never to return due to what they had done with the beast gauge.
For that reason primal’s life lasted a while longer. Good times. We had gotten so advanced we began to literally dodge attacks. There was a mechanic that instead of blocking you would dodge all your opponents attacks if timed right. Givin’ the speed of the game, this added to some sick movements and battles. Damn Good times. LONG LIVE BLOODY ROAR (pre-Kojima).
-Yugo the Wolf
-Kohryu the Iron Mole
-Jenny the the bat (sick air combos)
-Buszima the Chameleon
-Gado the lion
-Xion the unborn....
I literally probably used every character.... shenlong the mole and jenny being my favorite.
Retrospective suggestion: Tomba/Tombi 1 and 2
Tomba was actually our (me and my brother) first game on the PS1. I don't think we ever got to finish it since I was 7 or 8 then and I didn't have the patience or the skill to finish it.
Weirdly i was just playing bloody roar 3 yesterday. Good times
Ah yes. Kicking people's asses as Long. Good times indeed
