[@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?

[@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

[@pixelgoat7317]

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

[@therush757]

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:

[@timmer919hep]

Dantel sounds like a defunct cassette tape company

[@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.

[@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.😆😊

[@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. 🔫 💣

[@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 😂

[@paladinnine859]

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

[@kl1thedominion]

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

[@freack3333]

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

[@Alexalicious]

I love that their sprites break whenever someone jumps.

[@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

[@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.

[@MissAshley42]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@ignatz20xx]

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

[@deelystanonfightcade2]

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

[@rickdaniel7341]

13:46 “Boring conversation, anyway.”

[@sohousama]

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

[@squishsquishimafish6348]

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

[@SuperRetroGuru]

Made a Mongo McMichael reference we love to hear it.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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 👊😎👍

[@pacperson]

BEATS YOU UP!

[@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]

Oooof, those idle animations though

[@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.

[@ScottALowe]

Pretty sure that final boss is just Ronnie James Dio.

[@ChopzDrake75]

Mongo is like a Live Action Rolento

[@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.

[@franciscogonzlalezayala608]

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

[@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 😎👍

[@Mario_bland]

YEAH, IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS

[@DarkScorpion64]

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

[@ShaelRiley]

I believe in Survival Arts.

[@cormoran2303]

Dantel was so evil that his body contained 10 Hitlers!

[@EinhanderPilotSantos]

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

[@dutlee81]

Viper may be Dennis Reynolds

[@Linkonpark100]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@CSpell83]

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

[@rodrigomarcondes5857]

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

[@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.

[@wolvertox311]

This game is a kusoge classic and really fun to try and play competitively

[@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.

[@steelcurtain187]

Now we’re talking

[@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.

[@TheRngMaster]

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

[@nichooooo2748]

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

[@TexasHollowEarth]

... prob supposed to be Jose 🤣👍

[@mikeberg6407]

The Kusoge, shout out to GuileWinQuotes 😂

[@Wolfedge75]

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

[@alexofthecolossus2468]

Survival Arts straight from the survival scrolls

[@MrSkerpentine]

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

[@unkeptorc9656]

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

[@ChadlyMobGaming]

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

[@lilwyvern4]

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

[@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.

[@MateusAuri]

Is this the precursor to Hakaiou King of Crusher?

[@mediaultra3178]

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

[@SpaghettyLuvsU]

What in the Spirit Halloween Store am I looking at?

[@Kinshinobi]

Mongo's broken beyond belief

[@captaincommando2602]

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.

[@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...

[@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?

[@Levi_Skardsen]

He looks like the scout.

[@VampireClown420]

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

[@hugejackedman3447]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@ChoppaBoy]

Master McMuscles, are you familiar with Martial Champions?

[@Kenoji8]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@byronhodge7630]

Ya got me convinced Matt never seen this one

[@Wolfie1262]

This gives me Kasumi Ninja vibes

[@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? 😂

[@clawofthefallen]

Viper is just a bad green goku cosplay... PS: Still looks better than Dragon Ball Evolution.

[@CushionSapp]

You did not sell me on this game

[@flophouseplays]

Yes I did

[@burmecian123]

Was that hitler?🤣

[@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

[@silverroddo1468]

Kane huh? You say he’s an alien. So, what country is the foreigner from?

[@LAMGFGC]

Santana! FINISH HER!

[@justdointhisforthegames]

Gigachad Scarab

[@CorporalDanLives]

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

[@shadehawk]

hey guys... does gunner look like the scout to you?!

[@deadstarr7]

shout outs to ahmed johnson..#bikermichaellikers

[@skelatorswrath]

Please play Girl Fight.

[@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!

[@mehlessmidori602]

Well, you appear to be in a underwater elevator (as evident by the background) yet there also appears to be some sort of outdoor area when you look at the door in the corner. Given this impractical setting that is disobeying the laws of science mixed with the game that you are playing, I've come to unprofessional and uneducated conclusion that you are in Hell. Or some sort of purgatory. Either or, not a place you want to be in.

[@lipstickzombie4981]

I think Capcpom copied them to make the Omega Red stage in X-Men:COTA

[@Alexalicious]

This game is something else XD Honestly though, Dantel has to be in the top three lamest fighting game bosses.

[@ThreeEyedPea]

The stages in this game SUCK. There are distracting foreground objects all over the place.
