    CAPtain COMmando was way more than just a coincidence, he was Capcom's mascot from the mid-eighties to the early nineties.

    @MrCoconuts64_Lum69 Рік тому

    impressive port, sadly stiff controls ruin this experience
    doing combos on multiple enemies make you suffer input delays so enemies can get a free hit, grappling works but if it gets interrupted by an enemy then your sandwiched on the spot since enemies get some I-frames for like a brief moment
    monster boss is somehow more worse now, in the arcade all you had to do was perfor rush attacks, snes now wants you to perform grapples instead (the captain's flamethrower does make it for it)
    still if you look past stiff controls it's a decent home port, bosses are now easier too (excluding the monster boss/monster with 3 eyes), it's also one of those games where you have to beat it in hard to see the true ending
    it's hard to recommend for how butchered it is

      haven't had an input delay problem, you sure that's not just emulation issue? It's the most responsive double-tap-to-dash I've played on SNES (more so than TMNT), which makes it much quicker. Animations are bit stiff but I don't find it plays too stiff.

It's not a great port, I just find it solid enough and maintains most of what made the original fun. Can't attest to how it does for a 1CC run, not my wheelhouse...I was also surprised that the arcade music also kinda sucks, which I thought was purely the SNES port's fault.
