Arcade1Up Capcom Legacy-Yoga Flame Edition Review: Is This Better Than Big Blue???

[@MikeOfAllTrades]

What do you think about the Yoga Flame Edition from Arcade1Up? Let me know in the comments below!

[@TheHellboy1980]

i think you need to sell some of those streetfighter cabs behind you.

[@MikeOfAllTrades]

Nahhhhhhhhhh lol

[@MikeOfAllTrades]

Well the Pro series has been having issues coming to fruition so...

[@KashDaGemini]

I think of the two editions YODA Flame is the one ill be picking up the other is cool but more so cause of the control deck art verses the entire cab! SN: Just purchased X-Men for $399.99 first arcade purchas since leaving the hobby in over a year IM BACK BABE LOL

[@cavemanmoneyshot_6850]

I picked up Shinku edition. I haven’t put it together yet. I’ll do that tomorrow but I might pick up Big Blue too for fun.

[@adamkasper5288]

Thank you a bunch for making this video. It had everything I need to know about the cabinet without a lot of whining and complaining or focusing on one thing that annoyed you. Just straight to the point games simple and direct! Im about to purchase this online now! (This is my 12th Arcade1up to add to the arcade room!)

[@MikeOfAllTrades]

I'm glad that I was able to help. Enjoy your new purchase!

[@nickgerula]

Great review Moat! Liked how you played your self and showed how precise the connection is. I currently have the gen 1 SF2L....might have to upgrade to this one.

[@MikeOfAllTrades]

It's definitely worth it, especially since you have a Gen 1

[@Taco_slugger]

I've been a die hard Street fighter fan since the 90s ,just started looking at cabinets and this one and the MvC2 caught my eye ,but now watching this review I definitely feel like the yoga flame is a must.

[@kyletaggart]

I'm not a collector, and I watched this ENTIRE video. As someone who doesn't own any, I'd probably get this over Big Blue, I agree on the art, and you mentioned something key near the end that was a n ice catch, the UI is quicker. If it's this new age cabinet with internet connection and all that, having a quick UI and any small improvements is nice. Great video, and I enjoyed watching you play the games as well! I know a ton of work probably went into this video, and it was well worth it!

[@MikeOfAllTrades]

Well thank you! I just wanted to make sure that I try to give all of the distinct things that separate this from the Big Blue cabinet for anyone who might be interested in either cab

[@volcalstone]

17:01 😂 that's why I love puzzle fighter 2.

[@HungrywolfGarou]

Thanks for the video. I've been thinking of getting a Capcom cab from Arcade1up, but now that the Deluxe models are introduced I'm just waiting them out to see if we get a Street Fighter Deluxe or XL. I love that the Yoga Flame has Giga Wing on it.

[@darkempire2022]

Thanks for taking the time to do a very thorough review of this new cab. I sold my BB for this and have 0 regrets. I love it. Fantastic review, MOAT. I just wish the control panel on this was as good as it is on the Hadoken version.

[@MikeOfAllTrades]

Yeah I love that panel but it's the trade off. I'm okay with that

[@kullanma]

Great review and although I think I like the Shinku Hiduken colors better, I appreciate your thoughts on the cabinet. I will be picking it up as soon as I can sell my last gen big blue and old capcom legacy. Always love your vids MOAT! Keep it up!

[@MikeOfAllTrades]

Thanks for watching Veysel. As long as you're okay with not having Darkstalkers, this is an amazing games list

[@george._sir._gemini.175]

[@MikeOfAllTrades]

I appreciate that. Thank you 👊

[@android131c]

i’d like to see this collection of beat-em-ups on a SF Alpha / Darkstalkers / Cyberbots cabinet

[@MikeOfAllTrades]

Agreed

[@lifeonmars03]

Returned my mvc2 earlier this week so I think I'm going to get this one

[@Jason_NSS]

I’d like to know if Captain Commando and Battle Circuit support 4 player online co-op. And The King of Dragons support 3 player online co-op….like the original arcades. Most peeps hang out in the Street Fighter lobby’s so far. Every once in awhile I’ll play the beat ‘em ups and shmups with someone else.

[@stepsgaming]

This cabinet is better. Beat ‘em ups galore. You know I reviewed this cabinet, I think we have similar findings. This to me is best cabinet they have released, despite the giant mistake on the bezel. MVC2 is gonna be great judging by this cabinet.

[@MikeOfAllTrades]

I do know that you reviewed the cabinet...lol From what I've experienced with hands-on playtime MvC2 is gonna be just fine

[@proverbs5933]

Hey Mike, really like your videos! Can you provide some feedback on game play performance for the BB vs YF? More specifically, can you feel the difference of the upgraded PCB on YF playing SF2? I keep hearing that the PCB is better on YF, but I want to know if it actually makes in game play better/smoother? If I get either of these, I will be upgrading the controller, so that part would be a wash. I like the look of both equally. Is the control deck height an issue on either of these if playing on a stool?

[@MikeOfAllTrades]

The input delay patch is on the Yoga Flame and Shinku cabinets by default. If you get the Big Blue you'll have to manually install the patch from the Team Encoder website but yes, there is a drastic change from the default settings. If you need proof, you can look at the SF2 Hyper Fighting tournament that I just ran this past Friday on my secondary channel youtube.com/@backalley711 also the stool is a preference for standing or sitting I stand when I play so I couldn't really speak to the height of the stools

[@moomert1]

Does your Yoga Flame allow you to go online easily through your router? For mine, although I am connected to my router, I can only go online if I use my phone as a hot spt. Even if I use an Ethernet cable connecting my machine to my router, it still wont allow me to go online. I just keep getting errors.

[@MikeOfAllTrades]

It does. Make sure that your cab is fully updated. I had that issue at first as well

[@kellys9619]

@@MikeOfAllTrades i have the same issue, i only assembled it yesterday. Hopefully I can figure it out👍

[@MikeOfAllTrades]

@kellys9619 good luck. I think the updates help fix that issue

[@CobrettiKai]

Nice rundown Mike. I'd love to play some of these games online with you sometime, but unfortunately there's no friends list or messaging to help with that. I'm Cobra Kai on the leaderboards. Peace.

[@CobrettiKai]

Also, I'd like to know how some no name got the Giga Wing high score of 989898989898989898, it's not like you can max out the score and cause an error like that. Looks fake to me. A1UP also needs to disable scores for the leaderboard if you're not using default difficulty settings, because you can set to EASY and still register your score.

[@MikeOfAllTrades]

Yeah I don't know why three no default for scoring but I can completely see people running up the score for the leaderboards. Hopefully in the future they add online friends list but I think the favorites list is a step in that direction (on other cabs, not this one)

[@redroversk]

Ever since I got the MVC2 cabinet I want all A1U cabinets in that form factor, even though I have the big blue

[@MikeOfAllTrades]

I own big blue and still own this as well. It's my beat-em-up cab lol

[@retromachina5525]

Comfused. the big blue panel is bigger but the new yoga flame panel is better? Need more panel space on the panel for 2 player. So is the space reduced for 2 palyers on the yoga flame?

[@MikeOfAllTrades]

No its the same playing size. They took of like 1/2 CM for the side panels to fit lol sorry for the confusion

[@retromachina5525]

@@MikeOfAllTrades all good. Just checking. Still debating if im gona buy. Good review!

So, the Yoga Flame edition don’t have Dhalsim in the bezel 💀

[@Superdimensional]

Never seen that black box in the arcade. Also never seen it on any roms on my Pi Modded cab, and it’s not on my MiSter

[@MikeOfAllTrades]

It's a piracy thing. Capcom included it to indicate that the ROM was authentic and not pirated

[@pxp751]

Do you want me think If I got an original street-fighter 2 arcade, the legacy sf2 capcom arcade from last year, big blue, and the yoga flame version, should I get the shinku hadoken version too or am I all set?

[@MikeOfAllTrades]

Yoga Flame and Shinku Hadouken are the same game set, just with different artwork. If you don't have any of them I would go for either one of the new legacy cabs. If you want darkstalkers and want it online then go with Big Blue

[@pxp751]

@@MikeOfAllTrades I actually prefer both of them. When marvel vs capcom and xmen vs streetfighter came out I bought both of them. I'm not a fan of marvel but the artwork on both cabs are awesome couldn't resist. Now I'm in the same boat as with yoga flame version and the shinku hadoken I want both lol.

[@MikeOfAllTrades]

I do want both but I need space for REDACTED

[@Jason_NSS]

I love it so far. Playing games online multiplayer like Final Fight, Captain Commando, The king of dragons and the rest of the line up is incredible. If you need someone to play online with while your doing your review I’m available. 👍🏻

[@MikeOfAllTrades]

They need a friend's list

[@Jason_NSS]

I agree! 100%

[@octoman_games]

IMO think this is the BEST A1UP cab! MAaquee looks great! It's big! Artwork looks amazing! This is it! I have the CE and Legacy SF cabs already, but Im really tempted to get this one. DO I need 3 SF cabs tho?

[@MikeOfAllTrades]

Thats the eternal question. I'm a Capcom guy so it's not fair for me to answer that (especially since I have 3 lol)

They left me with the impression more are coming eventually and seems more interested in my feedback than usual. I noticed there is hardly anything on KZbin pushing this product. I may do a video once my new arcade room is finished, because it's possibilities are exciting...and I am no KZbinr type. I don't think you will be disappointed if/when you get one.
