Yeah, this is one of those games where if it's bad, it's like "oh no, this could have been good", but then if it's good it's like "oh no, no one plays it". The fighting game genre is kinda depressing when you start craving something other than SF, Tekken, KoF, and the latest anime fighter.
I dont know about tekken but you might as well take KOF and new hotness anime fighter. If you're not a capcom fighter you're basically gonna fade away into darkness. Or at the very least, have a VERY small community. Sad I know.
DeadEye935 In my neck of the woods, you can cross Tekken and KOF off that list. It's either SF, ArkSys, MK or you playing by yourself all day, every day.
the7kSRK Id rather play by myself If I can still play KOF. But I live in SoCal which is close to the Latin America's AKA Mexico AKA the last safe haven for KOF games
I love how the comments section has become like an actual fighting game community: everybody is either hype to the moon or complaining about practically everything. It's so bipolar, I love it
Incredible indie fighters like this that struggle for funding, release somewhat unfinished, and won't ever see large player bases really make me want to never ever ever try and make an indie fighting game... ...So you guys, I've got this sick idea for an indie fighting game.
A Last Blade style weapons fighter with Warzard/D&DSOM RPG elements and CVS2 style character/system customization O_O It's pretty well fleshed out... I have some problems with insomnia...
Mago The Snowman I imagine that they probably are not doing ti because they already covered a version of the game so they would probably largely just say the same things in an Ultimax video. If they get to the point where they start doing other re-releases like the upcoming Xrd or Skulgirls 2nd Encore than yeah I will complain.
Calamity2007 they played thirdstrike like multiple times on fisticuffs. also ultimaxs cast has practically doubled in size since p4a, id say thats enough content to warrant a video
Voice overload for sure. The characters talk/make noises, then there are announcers for both characters, then the game announcer, and the Zaibatsu talking over it all.
Woolie - "Who is the Nakoruru type character?" Everyone else - "The bottom right corner" *Woolie then proceeds to the bottom middle* For Christ sake I know Woolie is horrible with left and right but that is just sad. They said corners and the left corner had a guy and the right a girl. Come on Woolz.
I can imagine that if the Best-Friends were announcing for you and you were close to getting a perfect, they'd say stuff like "you've basically won already"
I've been reading a bunch of Yokoyama Mitsuteru historical manga as of late and while the warring states and three kingdoms settings are well worn, I like his matter of the fact way of delivering the story and depicting the setting.
While I think she looks pretty cool I still have to ask, why the hell do Hanzo's breasts inflate just before she starts her idle breathing animation? Is she some kind of cyborg or something?
Undead Soul95 I am by no means an expert on how the human body functions, but I don't think that breasts are supposed to inflate by several full cup sizes every time you try to breath.
BiomasterM2 Funfact: Women's lungs are actually located in their breasts. This is why they usually wear shirts in public; to protect them. Not as strong as a ribcage, but it's something. True facts.
BiomasterM2 They aren't, when you breath your chest pushes out a bit for the air you are taking, meaning that her chest would push out and make her already tight shirt even tighter, you can tell by the way the white pixals across her breasts become a line instead of two sperate ones.
WHEN ARE YOU GUYS GOING TO PLAY WWE2K15, NARUTO SHIPPUDEN: ULTIMATE NINJA STORM 3, NARUTO SHIPPUDEN: ULTIMATE NINJA STORM REVOLUTION AND BLAZEBLUE, AUSTIN?
I was on the fence about this game, but now that I know that Max is an announcer I'm gonna buy for sure just so I can pretend I'm playing with him coaching me.......ah, I have problems
I backed this game and haven't looked at it since. I'm really impressed by the quality of the animation. Oh my god that last exchange. I felt in my heart of hearts that Jet's super cancellable stage had ended and I'm sure Pat did too.
I bought this game soooo fast after seeing this video uploaded. Here's to a community hopefully existing sometime soon. Finally, a simple but competitive fighting game.
Did anyone else notice the amazing sprite work for Hanzo? Her legless side stays on the correct side no matter which way she's facing. That's some SF3 Gill shit there.
This is the kind of Fisticuffs I like the most. Just a bunch of friends hanging out and learning a new fighting game together. Also WHAT SYSTEM IS THIS GAME ON. I NEED IT.
I think the game Matt's thinking about that did the pixelated thing is Saints Row 4 during the Streets of Rage parody section when you're rescuing Gat. Because that's literally what the game does at that point to make your custom character look pixelated.
I agree with Matt, the commentary thing is distracting and the voices can get annoying, but the game itself looks great, could use prettier menus though.
I'm not really fan of how the announcer images are just cut-outs. I mean it's really cute and charming at first, but in the end I wish they just made character sprites for them instead.
dfg lmnop Nope. Max mentioned Yatagarasu as "the only game he did voice acting in" in his stream a couple times and was wondering what the fuck happened to it as EGAD this thing has been delayed! It's been what? 5 years or something?
If anyone wants to learn this game, Juiceboxfgc (I heard of him as Juicebox Abel from this channel, ofc) has a series of character and system tutorials up on his channel. He also has a sick series of KoFXIII tutorials.
can I just say that the second I saw this on the steam store, I knew they would be playing it today. Well maybe I didn't know specifically, but I really wanted it, so if you want to go by that logic, I willed this video into existence rather than predicted it.
Yatagarasu has to be one of my favorite Fighting Games in recent years. Such a classic yet fresh game deserves so much love. Less focus on flashy bullshit and more on the Meta and Yomi, that's how a Fighter should be!
It's so refreshing to see a dedicated "fan-game" not done in some wacky parody style. These are actual legit character designs that look cool. People seem afraid to go that route.
Once I saw the thumbnail, I knew the game seemed familiar, then I read the description and it clicked: I'd glanced at this on the Steam front page. Time to see what this game's about.
Watching these videos makes me wish I wasn't shit at fighting games. I got to the point where I can actually understand most of what's happening but when I have my hands on the controller I get wrecked.
I recall importing the Doujin release of this game a long time ago. I never expected the FGC to eat it up the way they did after the game went up on Kickstarter.
41:04 Kusoru originated from Kuso (Shit) and Sol (from Guilty Gear), "Shitty Sol" in a literal sense. He's also known as one of the five gods of Kusoge that played Guilty Gear, Hokuto, Basara X and more. Check this guy out on youtube and search for some of his videos (you can put "kusoru troll" or something similar). His playstyle is full troll and he will do the stupidest shit during high level play and get away with it. It's great.
This is probably quite the long shot, but would you guys ever look at that odd online game "Mugen" I believed it's called. It's basically everything vs everyone. Does that game even exist still?

I feel you man, nobody i know shares my love for fighting games
this
Gotta go to a city with a scene dudes
I live in portugal, the scene here is minimal if inexistent
My life in a sentence bro
Yeah, this is one of those games where if it's bad, it's like "oh no, this could have been good", but then if it's good it's like "oh no, no one plays it".
The fighting game genre is kinda depressing when you start craving something other than SF, Tekken, KoF, and the latest anime fighter.
DeadEye935 Even Dive Kick is relatively dead, except for the groups on Steam.
I dont know about tekken but you might as well take KOF and new hotness anime fighter.
If you're not a capcom fighter you're basically gonna fade away into darkness. Or at the very least, have a VERY small community.
Sad I know.
DeadEye935 In my neck of the woods, you can cross Tekken and KOF off that list. It's either SF, ArkSys, MK or you playing by yourself all day, every day.
the7kSRK Id rather play by myself If I can still play KOF.
But I live in SoCal which is close to the Latin America's AKA Mexico AKA the last safe haven for KOF games
I love KOF, but there's no one in my area so I just kinda stopped playing fighting games altogether.
Did anyone else notice that no matter which side Hanzo was on in a match, her sprite didn't flip? That's crazy attention to detail!
Max is on fisticuffs. Not the way we wanted, but the way we deserve..
Asset reuse spotted.
Mr.Beast Rebel of the Hellscape always here to serve, B.R.O.T.H.
Fkin subtle as HELL editing LOL
This game is missing DSP as a comentator. I can totally see his pic sliding in with the text "PRESSING BUTTONS!!!"
Evil Ryu "You were obviously blocking! HAHAHAHA THIS GAME IS BROKEN!!"
Evil Ryu THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO
I DIDNT PRESS ANY BUTTONS!!!*hear the sounds of buttons being pressed*
Evil Ryu He would do nothing but fapping noises in the mic when there's a girl in the stage, though...
Evil Ryu INSTANT DEATH!!!
I love how the comments section has become like an actual fighting game community: everybody is either hype to the moon or complaining about practically everything.
It's so bipolar, I love it
Its not split in the middle, there ain't nothing here but "when's _____" and "fuck this game" . Ever since her story it been like this
Brandon P. eh I found a few hype people here. They're kinda swamped though
John Paul Pierce yeah, I guess you could say that

Incredible indie fighters like this that struggle for funding, release somewhat unfinished, and won't ever see large player bases really make me want to never ever ever try and make an indie fighting game...
...So you guys, I've got this sick idea for an indie fighting game.
jonmkl Pray tell, what's your idea? lol
A Last Blade style weapons fighter with Warzard/D&DSOM RPG elements and CVS2 style character/system customization O_O
It's pretty well fleshed out... I have some problems with insomnia...
jonmkl Sounds nifty, I'd totally play that. :)
jonmkl Aww man, I thought you'd pitch Savage Streets.
+Segata Jonshiro So long as it has a balanced online mode and a bigger roster then Warzard I'd be down to try it.
Such good times. I will miss times like this
Same here.

Gogo ED It's pretty legit.
their intros to everything are amazing i remember watching these guys back on machinima still funny as ever.
Legends speak of a game called "Persona 4 Arena Ultimax".
Legends speak about how the best friends are too scared to play it. Or maybe too smart.
Mago The Snowman Help us all, Jack Frost!
Mago The Snowman I imagine that they probably are not doing ti because they already covered a version of the game so they would probably largely just say the same things in an Ultimax video. If they get to the point where they start doing other re-releases like the upcoming Xrd or Skulgirls 2nd Encore than yeah I will complain.
Mago The Snowman It would just be Woolie saying that "Mitsuru is Akihiko's girl" over and over.
*WHICH IS FALSE*
Calamity2007
they played thirdstrike like multiple times on fisticuffs. also ultimaxs cast has practically doubled in size since p4a, id say thats enough content to warrant a video
AxleNo7 not only did the roster double almost every character now has a shadow form.
Voice overload for sure. The characters talk/make noises, then there are announcers for both characters, then the game announcer, and the Zaibatsu talking over it all.
"You're not gonna beat Salisbury!
I'd _steak_ my life on it!"
God I love that announcer.
"Oh I'm smaller than I expected!"
Yeah Pat, we know. We all know.
Pat & Woolie's joy while playing this is so pleasant, those two really love their fighting games.

Double KOs "Agree to disagree"
When are you guys going to play Skullgirls 2nd Encore?
When they play ultimax
;-;
tbonevideos23 After Naruto and Blazeblue right?
Theo Truter yep....
XenoCake oh man i just want to see Woolie gushing about Beowulf like he did on the podcast.
XenoCake What's the difference with the original Skullgirls except more character?
I've been reading a bunch of Yokoyama Mitsuteru historical manga as of late and while the warring states and three kingdoms settings are well worn, I like his matter of the fact way of delivering the story and depicting the setting.
Dat last match is the kinda thing I play fighters for. You could just FEEL them reading each other. The heat of their battle auras was intense!
"This girl feels a lot like that other girl."
Now we know the WHY of Liam's house arrest.
Wow, someone actually said "One conversation at a time."
17:34
Pat, you're nuts. The character select art only shows her upper body, and literally every detail carries over between that art and the sprite.
Hattori Hanzo only means "this is a ninja" at this point. Any type of ninja.
While I think she looks pretty cool I still have to ask, why the hell do Hanzo's breasts inflate just before she starts her idle breathing animation? Is she some kind of cyborg or something?
Undead Soul95 I am by no means an expert on how the human body functions, but I don't think that breasts are supposed to inflate by several full cup sizes every time you try to breath.
[Lenny Face intensifies]
BiomasterM2 Funfact: Women's lungs are actually located in their breasts. This is why they usually wear shirts in public; to protect them. Not as strong as a ribcage, but it's something. True facts.

BiomasterM2 It's just like Cyclops' idle breathing animation where his chest and muscles start pulsating.
WHEN ARE YOU GUYS GOING TO PLAY WWE2K15, NARUTO SHIPPUDEN: ULTIMATE NINJA STORM 3, NARUTO SHIPPUDEN: ULTIMATE NINJA STORM REVOLUTION AND BLAZEBLUE, AUSTIN?
***** YOU'RE A FOOL for wanting them to play naruto
WAS IT YOU AUSTIN, THE TRUE HOKAGE
AfroMetalMizu The fact that the naruto games on ps2,gcn,wii,and 360 are far better than the storm games can ever hope to be
***** after they finally FUCKIN PLAY PRETTY FIGHTER LIKE DRAGONCHARLZ SAID TO ASSHOLES
***** MEH, I'LL YOU A SIX FOR EFFORT.
As long as you guys keep doing these videos, I'll never skip the intro. It's just so good.
holy shit this game looks amazing!!!!! The simple designs of the characters are simple but have potential. I really want to play this!!!
This game looks amazing. Also Max as commentator just takes the cake.
Now *this* is true love we're making!
"They blocked! Use this chance to press the advantage even more than you already have by winning the match!"
Finally, Liam found the cookies again.
When are you guys going to play Woolsworth Shippuden: Ultimate Pie-stealer Revolution?
I dont know how I get here again
Aside from the menus and some of the UI this game looks super good. Wonder if a online community still exists for it.
Theo Truter Well, the Steam release is less than a week old, so... :P
Hearing Pat and Matt high five after the hype round they played at 13:09 made me smile, so cute :,)
I picked up the demo as soon as it was available, and let me tell you. This feels great. And Azure is a goddamn beast.
I think I would like the addition of Maximilian and all them if they were drawn in coherently with the other art as opposed to realistic pictures.
jaydee152515 and besides, Max's picture just looks...bad. There's all that white space, and it looks like a bad shot of him in general.
I was on the fence about this game, but now that I know that Max is an announcer I'm gonna buy for sure just so I can pretend I'm playing with him coaching me.......ah, I have problems
I backed this game and haven't looked at it since. I'm really impressed by the quality of the animation.
Oh my god that last exchange. I felt in my heart of hearts that Jet's super cancellable stage had ended and I'm sure Pat did too.

This is the kind of Fisticuffs I like the most. Just a bunch of friends hanging out and learning a new fighting game together.
Also WHAT SYSTEM IS THIS GAME ON. I NEED IT.
Sharky618 Just PC. But it has very low requirements.
Reminder that the devs promised GGPO and it never got added
I think the game Matt's thinking about that did the pixelated thing is Saints Row 4 during the Streets of Rage parody section when you're rescuing Gat. Because that's literally what the game does at that point to make your custom character look pixelated.
17:32 looks like hanzo's lungs are in her breasts, seeing them moving like that.
I agree with Matt, the commentary thing is distracting and the voices can get annoying, but the game itself looks great, could use prettier menus though.
***** I know right, it's like they blew all of their budget on the sprites and animations, then had Larry the intern design the UI.
To be fair the sprites and the engine are the important parts.
Buster916 oh fuck your right, that explains a lot. But that stuff is important....
P4A has the same thing. Odd no one ever complained about that.
Elijah Blade I agree, the announcers on Persona are fucking annoying.
Love watching your guys videos. nice seeing variety of games.
Can we push a Best Friends Announcer pack DLC for this?
Pat number 1 rule of fighting games; when he loses a round he proceeds to basically say "you can kick my ass in this game" then loses. lol
I'm not really fan of how the announcer images are just cut-outs. I mean it's really cute and charming at first, but in the end I wish they just made character sprites for them instead.
Ken Narcisse It's kinda funny when you see Max flat-out having a sprite in one of the stages, but they were too lazy to just use that.
wait is that actually real? I thought it was the zaibatsu fucking with Max, UltraDavid, James Chen, etc.
Ken Narcisse I'm fairly certain that the dev team is a whopping three people.
Please, cut them some slack, and appreciate the substance that is here.
dfg lmnop Nope. Max mentioned Yatagarasu as "the only game he did voice acting in" in his stream a couple times and was wondering what the fuck happened to it as EGAD this thing has been delayed! It's been what? 5 years or something?
Grant Larson That's a poor excuse why constructive criticism isn't welcome. It's one thing to shit on 'em, but this is purely feedback.
I love this game so much. Spent the last 2 just playing around. Man this game is so awesome.
The character design is very Rumblefish-y
Why are you guys not playing Killer Instinct or MK X with the Predator?
I even bet Liam forgot the cookies.
To quote Ryan Tullis of EventHubs: The FGC got the puppy it wanted for Christmas and I hope they take care of it because they won't get another one
15:33 background character change where they are and what they;re doing

11:06 is that maximillian dood?
I thought for a few seconds that they 'shopped Max into the footage, but the fact that it's like that in game is amazing
Are we gonna get J-Stars on Scrublords anytime soon?
I remember this game being played in the hallway at Combo Breaker. It looked great then and it looks amazing now.
I don't play fighting games, but I bought it on steam cause more games like this need to exists.
If anyone wants to learn this game, Juiceboxfgc (I heard of him as Juicebox Abel from this channel, ofc) has a series of character and system tutorials up on his channel.
He also has a sick series of KoFXIII tutorials.
can I just say that the second I saw this on the steam store, I knew they would be playing it today. Well maybe I didn't know specifically, but I really wanted it, so if you want to go by that logic, I willed this video into existence rather than predicted it.
"I'm smaller than I expected".Yes,Pat,as you should be.
Yatagarasu has to be one of my favorite Fighting Games in recent years. Such a classic yet fresh game deserves so much love. Less focus on flashy bullshit and more on the Meta and Yomi, that's how a Fighter should be!
why wont they pause and check the command list when they take character. easier than just sit there and trying to find out.
Colmarr I think they might feel it'd mess with the flow of the video, but... just edit that part out. lol
MikkoLovesGaming That would require effort. That ain't Woolie's style.
DanielAvelan Just slap the slave anklets on him and sit him down at the computer, watching over him with a rolled up newspaper, it'll get done. :P
It's so refreshing to see a dedicated "fan-game" not done in some wacky parody style.
These are actual legit character designs that look cool. People seem afraid to go that route.
That's awesome that Max is in the game, it looks like a fun one too.
Got a nice glass of root beer ale, got my PJs on. Let's make some true love, shitlords. :D
This looks unfinished in some ways. Has there been changes ever since?
J chen says "lets make the most of this combo after its already dropped! so realistic. Its like he's really there.
guys please consider buying this game its a very good game and deserves it
When are you guys doing Xrd Revelator? :-/
This does look super cool, although it desperately needs a UI overhaul.
the commentators make it seem like it's just another meme game like divekick.
look at that psychic force (2) 2012 character select screen. it even has the same scroll sound. :D
Once I saw the thumbnail, I knew the game seemed familiar, then I read the description and it clicked: I'd glanced at this on the Steam front page. Time to see what this game's about.

Forget Ultimax
Forget Naruto
WHEN'S CLAYFIGHTER?
WELL SHIT GUYS, I THOUGHT WE WERE SCRAPPING THE BOTTOM OF THE BARREL. DAMN SON, WHERE'D YOU FIND THIS?
Scrapping it? Why would we do that? It's a perfectly good barrel bottom!

The best friends can't even begin to talk about avatars that look nothing like themselves
Note to self: Never read UA-cam comments.
ProfesorHorible right
Instead of ultimax as a fisticuffs just make it part of Persona week.
YOU HAVE THE POWER
I recall importing the Doujin release of this game a long time ago.
I never expected the FGC to eat it up the way they did after the game went up on Kickstarter.
What was the other game Pat mentioned when he said fighting games are back? I can't quite catch what he's saying.
You ready to play?
YOU THINK YOU ARE BUT YOU'RE NOT FUCKERS, YATAGARASUUUUUUU
This game is amazing, everyone should buy it. We need more players.
Can you guys please get DSP in an episode of the podcast
Dreamcast Spirit so we can hear Pat meet his long lost brother, kill him, and absorb his salt powers.
Dreamcast Spirit I want them to bring in DSP without Pat knowing and see his reaction
To everybody complaining about "not-MkX-ing", Check the livestream, their games vary, so just stay tuned every now and then.
This game seems really raw. But when it comes to gameplay it looks fucking amazing.
14:40 Law stance = he's combo based, not straight commands Woolie. Where you at bruh?
-Tru
41:04
Kusoru originated from Kuso (Shit) and Sol (from Guilty Gear), "Shitty Sol" in a literal sense. He's also known as one of the five gods of Kusoge that played Guilty Gear, Hokuto, Basara X and more.
Check this guy out on youtube and search for some of his videos (you can put "kusoru troll" or something similar). His playstyle is full troll and he will do the stupidest shit during high level play and get away with it. It's great.
Does someone know if this game will also be available for Xbox One and/or PS4 in the future?
Are you guys going to play BlazBlue Chronophantasma Extend sometime?
wow as i expect no even one second on the video and we had to solve this game sequence mess... Also who is that wonder on 3:34?
So Skullgirls 2nd Encore next week, right? And then P4U after that?
This is probably quite the long shot, but would you guys ever look at that odd online game "Mugen" I believed it's called. It's basically everything vs everyone. Does that game even exist still?
