Fight Club - The Worst Fighting Game

Fight Club Stage Transition footage by: youtube.com/@evanhanley6437?si=5W9bIGZq-0jSECNG His Fight Club beta footage playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PLLRkqQjo9BqOIGlfbvDmO6-12IZFOtGhD&si=eo42v3mjSomY-IJh

[@v.b90722]

Stage transitions do exist in the final game. I remember that my AI opponent did transitioned me in a different part of a stage while he was running towards me

[@ryohazuki3161]

Fight club does actually include stage transitions, they are incredibly precise and dodgy to pull off, for example in the parking lot moving your opponents back facing the window into the bar making sure that they are dead straight and pressing the grab button (i played xbox so its the black button) you will get the stage transition animation. Also this game has counter holds like dead or alive, if you move backwards and at the same time press the guard button your character will do an animation of them throwing their hands down which if done whilst an enemy is attacking you'll perform a counter

Hi there Matt! Cool of you to use my transition animations! Lets just say this game was gonna be drastically different than what you are playing! If you want to do the arena transitions, you hold the right directional button and press x and square close to doors or specific parts of the environment.

@@viewer6152 don't think they're a dev but I may be wrong. More likely Matt used some of his footage of the beta stage transitions for example material. His KZbin says he reloads old obscure archival footage of games from ign and such.

[@evanhanley6437]

@@viewer6152 I'll rephrase what I said about the animations. I actually acquired these from someone involved with Genuine Games over a year ago. These are dated from around November 2003 to June 2004, a period of development that is completely unknown but during that time the game was going to have WAY more content, a completely different story and arcade mode, more gameplay mechanics similar to Mortal Kombat, the fighters actually talked in fights and be much more faithful to the film.

[@Dradeeus]

It's so incredibly weird that the movie shows that they're just kinda punching at eachother dirty and uncoordinated, and the game interpretted that as them doing... moves, and having styles.

[@feathero3]

[@TheGeneral6669]

I played the hell out of this game. The level transitions are in the game but It's really hard to pull off. It's only in certain places on the levels you can do them. I used to be able to nail the backyard level into the water filled basement and a couple of others. If I remember correctly to do the backyard into the basement. Your opponent needs to be standing or dazed near the basement door, then you run and grabble attack or X+O or something like that. Also how can you forget that you can unlock Abraham Lincoln.

I remember G4 (not sure which show anymore) had an interview with the developers of this game ages ago. It was so embarrassing. The interviewer kept on asking questions about whether they got the rights for the likeness of the characters, and the developers desperately were trying to steer the conversation in other directions.

In a misguided game that really shouldn't have been made into what it was because there just aren't enough characters to make it worthwhile, this was one of the only good choices. Though I do kind of wish they'd included Gandhi as a joke character, like the game's version of Dan...but that would have required them to program in a fourth fighting style, so I guess that was a no-go.

[@ToyosatomimiNoMikoTaoism]

Gandhi was cut from the game and replaced with ol' Chesler. @@nessdragon

[@Jonathyn]

I worked at Vivendi Universal and was one of the QA testers for this gem. The crashing through walls move involves executing a special move in the EXACT RIGHT PLACE. I don't remember the moves or the place, I'm still recovering from playing Fred Durst vs Abe Lincoln for days at a time.

[@NameMcNamename]

Having played it myself on the Xbox Original, I can honestly say that stage transitions DO in fact exist in the final version, but they certainly ARE very few, rare and hidden easter eggs to find. How do you find them? If I remember right, you have to perform a grapple attack on an enemy who's back is against a wall at a specific area (i.e. near the window of a building, near the sewer grate in an outdoor street map). Frankly, if you want to experience it yourself and have access to the game, your best bet is to try it on training mode, because you'll most likely NEVER encounter it in standard gameplay.

[@StalinsGameboy]

I worked at vivendi, the whole deal with them was they had the book rights to most things (Bourne, lotr), and usually never the movie rights since vivendi was a huge book publisher in France, so we had to make sure the games legally didn’t resemble the movies that much. I loved that job, we made garbage but it was a tax write off for the multi billion dollar waste management company that owned it.

[@jayh4911]

To do those stage transitions you have to be in certain area's of the stages i.e the parking lot if you're close to the club entrance push ➡️ X+■ & you'll tackle them into the bar & vice-versa!!

[@Goufunaki]

Making a fighting game based on the movie is quite limiting since you're not dealing with fireballs, large bosses, or even trained fighters for that matter, although the devs clearly tried to do their best with what they had. But yeah, the game itself is pretty bare bones in game play. I did enjoy the responsive controls at least, and it always made me wish they were given a shot to make an original fighting game instead.

[@joshthefunkdoc]

The thing is more that the real backbone of the genre at that time was anime-styled fighters that either never found an audience outside Japan at all (Aquapazza, Battle Fantasia) or were more niche in other parts of the world (Arcana Heart, Hokuto no Ken). There's a ton of those out there if you take a look, and i think at least one of those has to be worthy material for this show!

[@jeremywreagan]

Play Cyber Gladiators. It's a PC fighting game published by Sierra Online in 1996. It was an early attempt at a 3D fighter. The keyboard inputs for the player occasionally work, which is bad when the computer never misses. The visuals are actually okay. The arenas are tiny and made even tinier by flaming spears and rock that are constantly thrown at you from off screen. You easily backflip off and out of the arena trying to dodge your opponent and the flying chaos. The combos, while named uniquely in the manual, all look the same across the character roster. Every character uses the same male/female vocal tracks. Play it, it is great candidate for this list.

Another game to add to the list is Tongue of the Fatman, a fighter developed for (of all things) MS-freakin'-DOS. It was also ported to Commodore 64 under the title Mondu's Fight Palace, and apparently to Sega Genesis (I'm just now finding this out) under the title Slaughter Sport

[@joshthefunkdoc]

Maybe a spicy take, but i'd say the original Tongue of the Fatman doesn't belong here simply because it incorporates more unique elements for the genre like the ability to bet on your own matches. Genesis Slaughter Sport, on the other hand? Hell yes!

[@SlightlyRare]

I attempted to research this myself but have hit a wall. I owned a demo disc on ps2 of Fight Club (I think it came with another game, the demo disc was only Fight Club and not a demo compilation disc) and there were 2 stages on the demo, the basement stage, and an outdoor stage that had a transition into an indoor stage (or possibly the other way around.) The demo was actually pretty good, and the bone breaking mechanic was actually utilized (if you broke an arm or leg then it remained broken for that round rather than end the round as a finisher.) I actually bought the game on release based on that demo and was very disappointed that the demo was more fun and fleshed out than the actual game. Will update if I find the demo online.

[@MangoJester]

The Deadliest Warrior game would be a good contender for this series. Deeply inconsistent match ups. (The pirate can get a consistent win by just shooting the other guy in the head with a gun immediately). A kind of "samurai showdown" vibe where quick kills and permanent damage can absolutely cripple the pace of the match. And a physics engine that has a loose relationship with "how shit actually works" especially on match replays that can just freeze the game indefinitely if the match emulation doesn't produce the same result as the match... Look. It was still fun with a friend and a bottle of vodka. It is a bad fighter. Also curious if Mace: The Dark Age fits into this series. As a regular rental when I was a dumbass kid, I legitimately had no idea how good fighting games were supposed to be.

I wonder if there aren't a number of reasons why most of what you've covered is from the 80s and 90s. Not only were there just more fighting games in general, due to the genre's popularity, but it was still a relatively new genre, and a lot of folks didn't understand the nuances, resulting in a lot of bad fighting games. Get to 2000s, and not only have folks figured out that fighting games are hard to make, they aren't as popular anymore, so not a lot of them are getting made, reducing the chances of something terrible come out. Apparently Fight Club doesn't care about the odds. (Of course, I doubt any of this is new to Matt. I just understand why most of what gets covered in this series is older, and for what it's worth, I don't have a problem with that. Keep up the good work!)

Long time viewer, first time commenter. A suggestions for WFG I stumbled across in an old AVGN episode. Time Killers on Sega Genesis not the arcade version. EDIT: OK I went back through some older WFG episodes. This was the lone entry not already considered. Keep them coming Matt. I like this series, not into fighting games but I love this series. (and Wa' Happund)

What other game can you have Fred Durst battle Jared Leto?

[@KitoBallard]

One of these times instead of Matt getting cut off when introducing the next category, the category actually just comes in and decks the lights out of him as a gag.

One of the games of all time

As for me, the AI opponents have slammed me through doors and windows. I accidentally did it to my cousin once. No idea how. He was winning and my thumbs got desperate. I was slamming buttons like crazy. Sorry Mat. I couldn't tell you how I accomplished it. The planets aligned I guess.

couldn't you play as Abraham lincoln in this mess?

[@darthcinema4262]

Yes

Frankenstein's monster too, IIRC. I haven't seen the movie, but the inclusion of Abe and Frank was apparently inspired by an incidental joke conversation and I can't decide if that's a great move or a terrible one.

I am Jack's complete lack of surprise that this game was bad
