The Butchered Localization. Fighters' Impact to Vs.
Вставка

- This is an unusual case of localization. We would of had Fighters' Impact overseas, if it wasn't for THQ changing everything. I wanted to make a video like this for a long time.
BGM Played:
Fighters' Impact - Net Surfer, Be Cool, Koto Koto, and 道 Road

Thank god, something like this is not gonna happen again.
Much as I'm not ridiculously fond of Fighters Impact, that soundtrack is impeccable work and it did make for some incredibly satisfying TASes.
Vs. is... a thing, certainly. I do recall liking the soundtrack but that's probably because I still dig Suicide Machines. I also think Mia and Oleg (the cab driver with facepaint) made it to Slap Happy Rhythm Busters, another game by the same devs and a wild ride.
0:16 Ok, hold on.
Where does it hurt?

I used to think this way, but I've changed my opinion after playing both games more thoroughly.
I don't consider Vs. to be a localization of Fighters' Impact considering how fundamentally different the games are.
Even outside of aesthetic changes, the freeform structure of Fighters' Impact combat makes the game different from any other 3D fighter, especially at the time of release.
Vs. may have canned strings like its contemporaries, but the number and variety of different strings for every character is truly staggering. Vs. also has much faster ground movement because characters cannot walk, only dash (which can be cancelled into more dashes or attacks) which makes Vs. much faster and more aggressive, whereas Fighters' Impact is slower and more deliberate.
There's no bad blood between Polygon Magic & THQ either. Several characters from Vs. (Mia, Oleg, Ramos) are in Slap Happy Rhythm Busters.
Oh dude it's been so long since I played Vs. I didn't even know it's a completely changed up version of another game.
Good video. I came here after seeing that VS. ad on issue 100 of EGM.
Yeah I never heard of vs before which is why I'm glad that my preferred fighting game even as a kid and still now in the PS1 is tekken 3. Maybe the original game would be a bit better if it had a little bit of tweaking but of course it was during that weird time period where most games try to cater to an American audience so they remove everything that made the original interesting. That sucks no matter what time period we're at but still interesting to know that this weird game exists.
If you thought those were bad. Take a look at SNK’s weird-ass and hokey localization back at the day.
Those are actually pretty accurate… SNK’s just like that
