I wanna like SSF2 on Genesis more then SCE but the music is pretty bad for the most part. Also I think SCE looks a little better (SSF2 is really bright looking in a lot of stages to much contrast).
The additions are nice and it should have made SCE obsolete but it didn't because of the negatives I probably play them 50/50.
Looks like I have to track down UMK3 and take it for a spin.
In case you have a component setup for your Genesis, don't use that and connect via composit. The game was really made with the color blending in mind, similar to Eternal Champions, even if not to the same extent.Quote:

I tried it, but can only say that I love the soundtrack. I'm not a big fan of games where you have three punches and three kicks and no block button. Also the learning curve seemed steeper than usual with that game. I'd definitely want to enjoy it, because the characters are nicely drawn and the music is good, but have no time to go through the learning process properly. Maybe someday, after retirement, when I've got all the time in the world :D
Pick Kor and use the strat guide I have in the link above. You'll be slaughtering like Conan in no time. The parry and counter system is the trick, and a good combo or two. This game is simply too awesome to wait for retirement. Think if Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat were actually optimized for the Genesis and enhanced with better fighting mechanics than just a few combos and a block. WeaponLord is awesome.
I should say though that I found the game impossible to play over emulation even with a Saturn controller.
My reply was meant to NostalgicMachine, sorry for confusion.
Ah, yeah, Eternal Champions is a chore to get into. You would have to learn a character's main moves and get good with at least one combo in that game to have any hope.
I need to play this!Quote:

This tends to happen a lot with games we haven't played in years :cool:.Quote:
