@joeypandleelee XD. It's unexpected as his unexpected weapon choice for that move.

@michaelr9839 bees knees?

@michaelr9839 thank you! Hope you'll get all the info you need to smack the enemies :) Feel free to ask any questions or want further clarification on something!

@michaelr9839 thanks! I am glad they are easy to learn! Yep DD forever 🐉🐉

@emamora2007 Sí, los desarrolladores agregaron muchas referencias de juegos anteriores en este. Desafortunadamente, nunca jugué los más antiguos para apreciarlos realmente.

@halcyonways1476 didn't know it was a fan game. I was trying to look at the switch demos for it XD.

@@notsobrightgamer Mr.Q is making it. I know you’ll have a blast with it. He made a 3 in character with Ryu, Ken & Akuma and you can tag them with down down to mix up their combos

@@halcyonways1476 oh yeah I found some of his videos looks like he's already doing some combo videos for the characters he added. Looks insane haha. Thanks for the recommendation, I'll be taking a quick break from beat em ups for now though, and try it in the near future hopefully a full game would be finished :) A 3 in 1 character? Sounds like a homage to Marvel Vs Capcom 1 with ryu able to swap to the ken and akuma mode.

@brandencross4749 ah great timing then haha. Thanks, means a lot :)

@VG_Guru86 thank you means a lot 🙏. We are all learning together. I definitely learned some things from you and other commenters that I didn't realize either, it's what makes this community amazing to be a part of!

Thanks! Oh are you making Billy as well haha.

@optimaltt6070 yeah for sure haha. For these to even have a health bar of a boss vs being a minion in the future XD

At least the music made the fight more pleasant :D

@gurjazz5066 this song also plays in Double Dragon Advance during the Raymond fight as well :)

@VG_Guru86 oh wow I didn't know that. Thanks for sharing I'll try it out in a bit.

@LandonKlinger5645 might because of the scene that happened before this chapter. Cereza's world went from 0 to 100% change quickly.

@LandonKlinger5645 yeah he's been waiting for so long iirc, and now he finally had his chance.

@@notsobrightgamer I haven't gotten to that point yet in the game,I just Bought it 6 days ago,but Ive seen the last 2 Fings against Lukaon and Morgana,And I love Both of them,Devs be takin notes if they ever do one with Rosa.

@LandonKlinger5645 ah damn, I'm sorry :(

@robertwildschwein7207 I wholeheartedly agree. He needs the following changes to his specials to make him more viable. Neutral special larger AOE to hit air and mid air more consistently. And able to change direction of roll. Side special increased damage, and slightly faster move speed. Up special either higher damage or piercing bullets. I think this would make Willy more enjoyable. And that's just tweaking his specials I haven't even got into his attacks. Though I'd say Okada also feels overall really slow and is maybe even slower than Willy? Yeah hands down shoulder tackle is his best special and move. If you ever played Double Dragon Advance Willy doesn't have bullet animation but takes a chuck of life. Here not so much XD.

@@notsobrightgamer In the original arcade Double Dragon he could just shoot immediately with no windup or endlag animation and each shot was a one hit KO. You basically couldn't stay on his horizontal plain or get shot. He also brought three copies of the second boss Jeff to make the fight even more unfair. Luckily, they at least gave you the amazing baseball bat to make this fight at least a bit more fair. I think they actually tried to repicate the challenge of fighting a guy with a machine gun with your bare fists as the ultimate challenge. The battle was truly legendary and beating him for the first time with just one quarter felt sooo good. Double Dragon Advance is kinda broken because you can easily beat him with the escrima sticks which are really OP. However if you don't use them, he is TOUGH. It's sad what they have done to him in this game.

@robertwildschwein7207 yes! Especially when you use Burnov and he says "come to papa" and swap to Abobo XD. Enemies knows they are about to get wiped out.

@VG_Guru86 haha I was a tad too lazy. Yeah I was on the verge of calling him that as per our conversation the other time XD. I 100% stand by Marian lol. No wee X2 for me lol. I just hate how both of his aerial attacks are the same. The potential lost there.

I hear ya. I think I'll stick to Billy and "Spin to Win Chin". Lol I also like using most of the cast aside from Burnov. Just can't get into him.

@VG_Guru86 ha good name for chin. The other is roll to win chin XD. Burnov is just a different kind of slow from the rest of the class that doesn't feel good.

Haha watching your videos rekindled the flame of playing fighting games. Which was why I picked up under night in birth in the first place :), music also was a deciding factor XD. Yeah base game he can hurt himself. Now he can and he seems to move much faster as well. He came a long way from the old school Willy where he doesn't shoot bullets in Double Dragon Advance.

@@notsobrightgamer Good to know. 🙂

Also you were the one watching my RCG2 stuff before I saw you were doing runs yourself XD.

@MemeinAndDreamin oh I didn't know that. Good to know thanks :)

@stevenwong5218 as you progress further the exchange rate will lower drastically. I don't know the amount as you progress though unfortunately.

Interestingly enough Google/KZbin just translated Cereza into Cherry XD

@carriec_7471 yeah it's unfortunate, not sure why they would exclude this :( And your welcome :)

@spartanazamar8966 yup! even though I didn't play DD2 I've heard this ost before through Double Dragon Advance and it was amazing. And the rearrange for this is spot on.

@brightsuperstition heya, as of right now July 2024 I would say the game is in a good state in terms of single and local co-op. Though of course we want more XD Gameplay mechanics wise it's more complex than TMNT Shredders Revenge, but less complex than River City Girls 2. Though I'd say its more difficult than the two. As I categorize TMNT and River City Girls 2 as more a "party" game where anyone can join in and can still make a impact. Double Dragon Gaiden is simple at first but progressing on harder difficulties it becomes sort of a don't get hit game as you and your enemies are not invincible when getting up after falling on the ground, so it's easy to get punished. Though specials and tagging in your partner character are ways to prevent this. Survival/V.S/Online mode was added along with three FREE dlc characters. As they were asked for by the community. At first survival was too easy and the new upgrades were over powered when certain ones were obtained together on the same run. As of now, survival is a bit repetitive in terms of waves. There were about 1 or 2 updates to address this. Though I personally haven't done a long run yet recently, to fully confirm this. As for online from what I gather it's a bit of a challenge to find random lobbies to play with others (as it may be a little too late, as launch is probably the best time for online, in less popular games). As they were criticized for not having online at launch which would have boosted its outlook and ratings launch. But I've heard things didn't go as planned for them so they did the best they could with what they got. Though they did follow through with what many were asking for and that was online. Though it wasn't perfect at first, they did another update to address the issues players had. And for the free DLC characters Sonny was asked for a lot so we got him. tl;dr ;) Great game for single or local co-op Gameplay mechanics are simple but more complex than traditional old school arcade beat em ups. To want you to learn more if you are interested. A bit challenging in harder difficulties but still enjoyable. Most of the concerning criticisms were answered mostly, but the one criticism that cannot be changed are the graphics unfortunately at this stage. Also people want more stages as well since it's kind of short, not like Streets of Rage 4, this hasn't been addressed I believe but there is a budget issue and original planning couldn't go as planned. Most importantly all characters are unique with a slightly to extremely different playstyle so no clones which is always a plus in my book.

@@notsobrightgamer Thank you for the very in-depth explanation. Like I said, the initial reviews made me wary, but DDG has always been in my wishlist because I love tag combat games (like Tekken Tag Tournament 2 and BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle). The fact that the online doesn't have a big population is perfectly fine for me, since I'm only seeking a singleplayer experience. One last question: Another thing that made me wary about the game on launch was the constant pop-up notifications every time you performed crowd control. I've read elsewhere that they've patched in an option to turn this off, so thank goodness for that. Anyway, once again, thanks for the response. Looking forward to watching your videos on DDG here once I beat the game and want to get better at each character.

@brightsuperstition your welcome! Oh yes, you're right about the pop up screen when doing crowd controls (defeating 3 or more enemies with a special simultaneously.) That issue has been patched quite early on and it's the options somewhere. I don't talk about the tag feature in my videos much as it gets complicated when it comes to combos and combinations XD. But will say about the tag feature it feels a bit limited as your tag partner is forced to be placed in mid air when swapping, regardless where your swapping from. While that's not a bad thing, not all characters have a good double jump/running jump aerial attack or a aerial special to use to safety get down when in a pinch, that just feels limited in a way for me. Oh that reminds me that there was one more issue that players have that i read about somewhere though it won't affect your situation though :), i believe it's not resolved yet, but for the PC/Steam version when it comes to 2 players. That it's not possible to play with two controllers yet. I know one keyboard one controller and one keyboard with two players does work.

@colinbradfield72 same here XD.

Your welcome! :D

@AsterTheTrashPossum yeah the game is definitely cutting some onions during these scenes :(

@reicho3034 your welcome! Sorry it took so long. I gotten sick and lazy after getting better :( Was this exactly what your looking for?

@@notsobrightgamer it absolutely was!

@TurtleTitan03 I will eventually. Working on Matins right now actually. But I may swap to Willy if you're interested in his more X)

@@notsobrightgamer Both are fine! I appreciate all of these!

@alvinrinaldo9787 are you wanting the music that plays when the button prompt appears? And not press it for it to extend? I got this request from another awhile back and kind of forgot about it since I ended up sick :(

@@notsobrightgamer Yes, but if it's not a full track, the one that plays when it is pressed is fine too. It's fine if it's not the kind that can be extended. I just want to listen to the full track if possible.

@alvinrinaldo9787 gotcha I'll see what I can do. I will try to extend one time into the rest of the track and see how it sounds. Will be done in a day or so.

@Sologamermayt that's what I love about certain video game music, where the build up leads to something amazing and worth waiting for haha.

@collinbradfield72 I was referring to Ryu Hyabusa from Ninja Gaiden XD. Because he has an izuna drop that is most likely more famous than Ranzou's haha.

@jettmanas thanks for popping up again 😁. The upgrade system is quite complex if you're mixing them for sure.

@@notsobrightgamer You're welcome. Good watching each others' vids. 🙂
