[@Midwoka]

The video that introduced me to Survival Arts had a great description of the last boss: "Dantel is all things to all people."

[@Endocrom]

Dantel for Dead By Daylight

[@brandongreen4439]

If you have a mirror match with viper, does that make it Fighting Vipers? I'm sorry.

[@freedustin]

No, no...I'm sorry. Identical Twin Snakes.

[@TexasHollowEarth]

... Black Mirror match: Striking Vipers 🤢🤮👎

[@osmosisp]

Wow are those the souls of Stalin and hitler being free after the final boss?

[@MayonakaMidnighter]

One of the pre-Guilty Gear Sammy games, I love this jank ass game!

[@kammhia397gaming9]

I can't stop laughing at the background Hanna's stage there so hype to watch their friend get the crap beat out of her and why is that girl lifting her leg like a urinating dog.

[@therush420]

I’m sorry did I see Adolf flying out of Dantel at the end?

[@Endocrom]

Along with Stalin and Douglas MacArthur.

[@garblechunk]

I'm glad someone else mentioned it, I thought I was going insane. D:

[@fapnoob]

Dantel was using green Darkseid Omega Beams there

[@PollyGlodd]

Devs were really desperate for that MK hype back in the day

[@RGF91]

Even Jackie Chan

[@jwill7998]

I would love to see a modern fighting game with digitized sprites.

[@lipstickzombie4981]

Even Street Fighter got into the acid pool.😆😊

[@jordanetherington1922]

4:50 The bonus stage reminds me of that I Think You Should Leave sketch where the old man wrecks a classroom cause a song told him there aren't any rules

[@kadosho02]

Wow this game is.. uh. I am at a loss for words

[@tinkerer3399]

Beauty incarnate?

[@cryssnail]

People with Sonic avatars have no room to criticize any game ever

[@kadosho02]

@@cryssnail and you can politely, go fly a kite. I enjoy something, and you enjoy what you like. So you're criticizing me for being a Sonic fan. What game do you enjoy that gets criticized? Share with the class please

[@TexasHollowEarth]

@kadosho02 - ... he's not wrong tho and Survival Arts is a cool but weird fighter. It's got 6 buttons for attacks + large characters.... I dig it. Sonic sucks and has a horrible fandom.... now YOU deal with MY opinion 😭

[@rudereckoning118]

Fighting games have never been able to live up to this pinnacle of gaming. Pretty sure that's what you were going for. No need to thank me, good citizen.

[@danny_milk]

MK New Era needs some Survival Arts flavor to it

[@NachtKaiser666]

Dave Mustaine with a purple and gold bathrobe as a final boss? Eh, why not. I need to check if slowbeef and Madithen played that one yet 😂

[@freack3333]

Those people in the the desert stage should be called the Lycra Bikers.

[@Alexalicious]

I love that their sprites break whenever someone jumps.

[@pacperson]

BEATS YOU UP!

[@willmistretta]

Brian May from Queen has eye lasers? Who knew!?

[@zaneseibert]

The eye lasers seem on brand for him. The Blanka ball was a strange choice though.

[@travisjordan3853]

Dynamite with a laser beam Guaranteed to blow your mind Anytime

[@willmistretta]

@@travisjordan3853 Damn, this game must have spent a long time in development.

[@WilfredCthulu]

I remember seeing Joel play this a little while ago. The final boss always stuck with me from how hilariously dumb and cheap it looked. It looks like they just took some 80s guy and put a thrift store smelling cape on him and thought that was cool and good enough lol.

[@hectorortizm.8434]

Mateo, love your taste. This game has been lock in my mind space until now. I remember as a child playing it at the Cali/Nevada Stateline at the famous Whiskey Pete's. It was awesome then as it is now. Mongo main here. 🔫 💣

[@jeffmaesar]

the two things i want to know about the lore about this game. First one : who are the two bikers on the right of Hanna's stage ? they seems to have the time of their life while the four other are posing cool like their lives depended on it. 2nd one : what's the deal with the krishna monk guys in the middle of a red district in the middle of a post apocalyptic world ? (don't tell me it s not a red light district, those are ladies of the night on the left side)

[@C.V317]

Damn, this game needs a motion sickness warning. The real survival art is not getting nauseous at the screen shaking.

[@chadschmaltz9790]

The screen shake for every hit is a bit much, especially since the camera already moves up and down with the characters jumping.

[@kl1thedominion]

"Bonk!" -The Scout (of Survival Arts fame)

[@rickdaniel7341]

13:46 “Boring conversation, anyway.”

[@daneofdanger]

You should play Ehrgeiz with the boxes turned on!

[@chadschmaltz9790]

God bless the ring! The weird RPG dungeon crawl portion of that game is truly something. Never have I seen a character Stat screen that includes a graphic for the character's diet nor have I ever before seen it negatively impact the character if it is not balanced.

[@TexasHollowEarth]

I love Ehrgeiz 👊😎👍

[@squishsquishimafish6348]

For me, Viper and Survival Arts has always lived on in MUGEN.

[@MissAshley42]

Matt's scouting for the next DEVO main stage line-up continues.

[@robertcanady5028]

Is nobody gonna comment how much the final boss looks like Bryan May?

[@BobardeZanzibar]

I'm actually more surprised no one has pointed out how much Gunner looks like the scout.

[@GuntanksInSpace]

In my circles the joke is that the final boss looks like Michael Bolton dressed like a damn Wizard

[@paladinnine859]

Viper: I’m just a humble martial artist. What do you do? Mongo: Gun.

[@apostlenik809]

So this game was made by the company that was founded by former UPL staff and would go on to make Mindjack. That explains a few things.

[@timmer919hep]

Dantel sounds like a defunct cassette tape company

[@ignatz20xx]

I remember this game in my local arcade decades ago. It was a fun era of violent janky fighters.

[@pixelgoat7317]

Viper: Imma' Luiiiiigi....number ONE! (Blasts a dozen caps into his opponent)

[@thepickles8833]

Fighting Game Jank is my medicine of choice.

[@deelystanonfightcade2]

This game is like a fever dream…such a deep, dank memory unlocked.

[@franciscogonzlalezayala608]

I played this when it came out on arcades it was awesome

[@TVindustries5000]

YESSSS as it should be, i wanted this game on friday night fisticuffs so bad. The absolute best japan MK knockoff

[@ShaelRiley]

I believe in Survival Arts.

[@Bends95]

Former gaming channel Sick0Fant covered this many years ago and it’s the funniest thing ever.He referred to Mongo as Hayden Fox(Craig T Nielsen) and Dick Vitale,Gunnar as Eminem,Viper as Vanilla Ice,Hiryu as a Puerto Rican Garbage Man and last but not least the final boss Dantel as Richard Simmons! LMAO

[@androidsychoshocker]

Only the truly worthy can meet Cthulhu in the depths of the ocean floor.

[@TexasHollowEarth]

... "KEEP DRILLING" - Blackthorne Shore (voiced by Michael Bell!) on The Inhumanoids from 1986 😎👍

[@sohousama]

YES!! I was waiting for this one for the longest time!

[@SuperRetroGuru]

Made a Mongo McMichael reference we love to hear it.

[@erikdominick7404]

I remember playing this with my friends whereupon they nicknamed the one character "Magic Purple Pants Ninja". Nobody else got a nickname but him.

[@unkeptorc9656]

this looks like a mix of Art of fighting and Mortal Kombat but more jank

[@mikeberg6407]

The Kusoge, shout out to GuileWinQuotes 😂

[@Wolfedge75]

If GuileWonQuote covered it, then you know it’s a *good* kusoge.

[@GradeAMolvanian]

Heh, I'm surprised he was able to see the screen through how heavily rose tinted those nostalgia glasses were. Always good to see you enjoying yourself though!

[@phoenixlich]

Yo that one guy looks like the scout!

[@bonelessdonutz]

Biker Micheal likers, shout out to Ahmad Johnson, and his amazing promo skills

[@GMSpectre]

A fellow man of culture, I see.

[@trevorghalt1881]

A boss that wants to eat the winner is unique to say the least also I know he eat other people souls so he can get stronger so let me pause & see what he ate...OH GREAT HEAVEN

[@MagmaMKII]

I wonder if that particular person gave him indigestion.

[@EinhanderPilotSantos]

These devs have an elevator going down to see the titanic! Nice!

[@Endocrom]

According to IMDB most of the actors aren't actors, but the ones that don't have just the one credit are involved in some other familiar properties.

[@BeastGamerKuma]

Honestly I would not play it, but it was fun to watch. How about we get you to play Tao Feng : Fist of the Lotus.

[@edgarlozada3858]

He played that one around 3 years ago on the main Matt McMuscles channel (that was before he made the Flophouse Plays channel). So he must play it again!

[@Mario_bland]

YEAH, IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS

[@steelcurtain187]

Now we’re talking

[@paladinnine859]

Oooof, those idle animations though

[@Kinshinobi]

Mongo's broken beyond belief

[@shwingles]

14:48 in the Genesis version of SamSho, you can also cut your opponent in half. Then they flicker out of existence like a ghost.

[@alexofthecolossus2468]

Survival Arts straight from the survival scrolls

[@buzzclikverifyme]

In my headcanon, Dantel is Dan from Game Grumps.

[@dutlee81]

Viper may be Dennis Reynolds

[@ChopzDrake75]

Mongo is like a Live Action Rolento

[@DarkScorpion64]

With a little less jank and a little more polish this game could be legit in a unironic way

[@emperormegaman3856]

I like how the game isn't saying "steal the soul" or "aspire the life force" of the opponent or anything like that. Dantel just straight up want to eat them.

[@MrSkerpentine]

You know Mongo is kinda dressed like the Demoman from Team Fortress 2

[@cormoran2303]

Dantel was so evil that his body contained 10 Hitlers!

[@mediaultra3178]

Blows my mind some madman in pal regions didn’t try to port this to ps1

[@ChadlyMob5]

I'm here for the "Reliving the War" references

[@Linkonpark100]

7:34 I think you're referring to Gokuu Densetsu: Magic Beast Warriors.

[@ScottALowe]

Pretty sure that final boss is just Ronnie James Dio.

[@rodrigomarcondes5857]

0:35 will we get an whu happen though? i would love to see that

[@christopherspellman9163]

Does Viper remind anyone else of Dennis from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia 🤔?

[@juanmartinstehle5047]

Survival Arts was made by a Japanese company called Scarab. Most of it's games are garbage. The good games I remember from the company are only two: Macross: Do You Remember Love? for the Saturn and PS1 and a Dreamcast port of Fighting Vipers 2.

[@Levi_Skardsen]

He looks like the scout.

[@TheNegronomicon]

I'm always curious what happened to the actors of these games. Like if they did anything else of note or just collected their paycheck and faded away.

[@lilwyvern4]

This made by the same folks that made Blood Warrior? They had a thing for wild skung fighters.

[@non-gmobuttplug6204]

I think it's about time for a new generation of fighting games with digitized characters. All in HD and in 3D.

[@TheRngMaster]

Survival arts seems pretty neat! When will you play the Jackie Chan Games?!

[@SpaghettyLuvsU]

What in the Spirit Halloween Store am I looking at?

[@VampireClown420]

Are we just going to pretend the last boss isn’t Danny Sexbang?

[@MateusAuri]

Is this the precursor to Hakaiou King of Crusher?

[@ToseRoyal]

Wish japanese developers had taken more shots at MK copycats because I like this more than any of the dozens of western attempts at ripping off Midway's flagship fighting game.

[@PaulSoth]

I only saw this in the wild once back in the day. Even back then, it seemed like it was trying to hard. And thanks to the grainy images, I thought Mongo was in his 70s.

[@Wolfie1262]

This gives me Kasumi Ninja vibes

[@MarginalSC]

Why does the guy in the middle of the character select look like Richard Leadbetter? This game kinda reminds me of Avengers Galactic Storm.

[@nichooooo2748]

@20:29 How does one go about acquiring the name, "Hose Brand"?

[@TexasHollowEarth]

... prob supposed to be Jose 🤣👍

[@Kenoji8]

This is totally giving me Pit-Fighter vibes (the Arcade version, not the SNES or Genesis versions).

[@justdointhisforthegames]

Gigachad Scarab

[@JuntosXlaLibertadMileyBuIIrich]

I think it has the least menacing final boss after Death from Time Killer. It's just your classic rock and roll guy from lates 80s

[@staticintheatmosphere]

I remember playing this as a kid an wasting my mom's quarters on this crap game... i think the dude with the gun an the scout looking dude were my go to characters...

[@hugejackedman3447]

Have you ever covered "Street Combat" on SNES??

[@ChoppaBoy]

Master McMuscles, are you familiar with Martial Champions?

[@byronhodge7630]

Ya got me convinced Matt never seen this one

[@JohannesBee]

This is another one of those games that I've never heard anyone ever mention or even allude to before. Are you sure this is real and not something you invented? 😂

[@DuskusCB]

Dong Dong Never Die’s MURICAN ancestor

[@chadschmaltz9790]

Are you referring to the characters and setting? I hope so because the dev team certainly wasn't American.

[@LAMGFGC]

Santana! FINISH HER!

[@deadstarr7]

shout outs to ahmed johnson..#bikermichaellikers

[@winkvalmaghe]

Based on the response that I got when I asked for another game of this particular cloth to appear on Worst Fighting Game, can we expect to see a Best of Best video sometime soon?

[@Subzer039]

17:04 the monk in the middle looks like dick masterson and ordinary sausage had a child and then he shaved his head

[@Kinzokugia]

I was gonna say he looked like Jerma but that's basically the same joke

[@CushionSapp]

You did not sell me on this game

[@flophouseplays]

Yes I did

[@CorporalDanLives]

Jesus don't smash those CRTs, those things are treasures and in hte postapocalyptic future they aren't making any more of them

[@VRHyoumaru]

More than ever I miss Yahtzee and Gabe's "Lets Drown Out" series.

[@chadschmaltz9790]

I'm glad that I'm not the only one!

[@skelatorswrath]

Please play Girl Fight.
