Goketsuji Ichizoku Matsuri Senzo Kuyou (Arcade/2009) - Elizabeth [LongPlay] - Power Instinct/豪血寺一族

[@raijuko]

This whole playthrough looks like someone's grandma escaped, and as people try to catch her during a dementia episode, she just beats them to a pulp, thinking they are dead ex boyfrienss from the 50s. This could be a movie LOL

[@_gvxzo3780]

Your imagination level is beyond my imagination

[@enriquejoseantequerasanche6180]

That's pretty much what Power Instinct (this game franchise) is about, except the grandma is fully conscious and lucid, and they're fighting for control of the family's riches and power.

[@theblocksays]

@@enriquejoseantequerasanche6180 Kinda makes me wish they DID make this into an anime in a similar vein to One-Punch Man.

[@truehealthkei]

Power Instinct is the only (fighting) game that featuring Children, young man, girl, middle aged man, monk, thief, deliquent, prince, princess, grandpa and even grandma. No discrimination at all!!

[@moebiusjdx7288]

One thing I've always loved about the Power Instinct games is that the Stage backgrounds have performers to go with the music in some of the stages, and they properly dance to the songs.

[@austinmorrison6953]

The word of the day is “Diegetic”

[@CJGreedy]

Of all the last fighting games that I saw, this one caused me the most emotions. Beautiful fonts and menu design, memorable characters (this old woman is just a top), smooth and high-quality animation. In general, it's a pity that this game is not very popular, as it deserves it.

[@thesamuraix881]

Damn they made Yubaba from Spirited Away into a fighting game character

So Elisabeth is an old Lady who has a move that grabs the opponent using her hair, then shoves said oponent into her chest, inflates her bosom , then transforms back to the prime of her youth? Just an average day at the old folks home i see

[@Zninety]

If anyone is unclear, as far as people like Elizabeth and Kanji are concerned, this is exactly what life in an old folks home is like.

[@davhot4107]

You mean their clohting? They probably dress like that in their prime. You should look at how old rockstars looks like in their 80s.

[@markiahendrix60]

I wonder why this wasn't more well known? Its a great game! Good play, storyline, and music. I am glad you picked the old lady to fight with. I was immediately drawn to her for some reason...

[@bruticus0875]

It's like a geriatric fighting game. There's mostly elderly and children...with a discount Ken and Ryu. Quite funny though.

[@LtheOriginal]

Why aren’t they well known? Well, most of the titles stayed in Japan is a major cause, even Matrimelee, arguably the most well known title in the series, only saw overseas release on arcade and on the Neo Geo.....which about 100 people own in total. Also didn't help that the PS2 version was Japan only, given how region locking was a pain in the ass to deal with back then.

[@markiahendrix60]

[@markiahendrix60]

@@bruticus0875 😁😁😁 It is! You described it perfectly!

[@dugnice]

@@LtheOriginal And Street Fighter 4 was released the same year. This particular title would have been more competitive with SF3 (released in 1997) and other fighting games of the late 90s. By 2009, old school, sprite based, 2D fighters were losing popularity to 3D fighters like Tekken, Soul Calibur and Mortal Kombat among others.

[@crencottrell7849]

They need to make a Power Instinct anthology game for those of us who always wanted to play the underrated games but never did 😅

[@carlosaugusto9821]

Despite the recent trend of retro 2d rereleases in the fg genre (in Capcom, SNK, Arc Systems, etc) i think the problem with this game to return in a retro rerelease is that Atlus must think it's too bizarre for this generation. Like it was bizarre even for the 90s gaming scene, and the 90s were wild. We live in times that are less receptive to this kind of game. Like think about how every classic game is trying to look more serious than they were in the 90s. The own community nowadays is less receptive to larger levels of humor too. In SF many people were mad about Dan getting in SF5, in TK people are mad that roster slots of new games still are "wasted" with jokes like the animal chars, in MK there were even some people mad about the "wasted" time and budget put in extras like Friendships that "break the game's feel".

[@CappuccinO80]

I'd freaking love that. Of course with localized versions of games like these.

[@timmer919hep]

They wanted to...but they were afraid "certain characters" wouldn't be received well by people.

[@ironhell808]

@@carlosaugusto9821 no way is it unusual for today's market. The intended market is still identical. That said I'm a serious Gouketsuji Ichizokou fan, and would enjoy an anthology. Maybe if Noone else does it I will...

[@Mike-te8mo]

@@carlosaugusto9821 Great comment and 100% true. And another huge reason people are less receptive to wacky fighting games is due to the insane feminisation of the games industry (and gamers) over the last decade. This has created a generation of ultra soft, ultra triggered beta males and angry girls. Can you imagine if a fighting game came out now with a character like Mudman from World Heroes? Or if there was a creepy transvestite style character, or an African tribal character? No chance it would be made.

[@spearsage]

Damn.. the background scenes of the bonus stage, keith wayne stage, kintaro stage, actually most of the stages... those people dancing in the background had their animation keyed in to fit the bgm.

[@Catzillator]

One golden oldies !! thank you for playing it for us.

[@baardbi]

This is fascinating in many ways. First of all; an arcade game from 2009.... The characters are also original and very interesting. I would have crapped my pants in happiness if I saw this arcade machine in 2009.

[@GuyWithAnAmazingHat]

Yea this game is extremely interesting, but also quite ironic that you felt the characters are original. This series is actually a tongue in cheek collection of references to the most iconic characters in Japanese culture, from this grandma based on Yubaba from Spirited away, literal Card Captor Sakura, all the way back to ancient myths like Kintaro. These characters felt "original" to you not because they are actually original, but because they are icons polished to perfection over years.

[@devinweathers7520]

Power instinct is another nusual fighting game series yet soundtrack and sprites are fucking spectacular

[@juniorlucena3767]

So glad you uploaded it, never heard of this version, and it is awesome! The sprites, the characters, scenarios, soundtrack, what a polished game. I hope it's possible to emulate it, going to research right now

[@KetsubanSolo]

It's pretty much a .exe if you can find it, although it was designed for era-appropriate PCs, so that needs to be taken into consideration

@@TCgamerboy2002 Even so Matrimelee has nothing but brand new sprites made in the early 90s. And let's keep in mind PIM was one of the last games too. Other 2d fgs recycled much more and for longer time. KOF 11 (mid 2000s) has many sprites made in mid-late 90s, Samurai Shodown 6 (mid 2000s) has even more sprites recycled from the mid 90s, CvS2 (early 2000s) still recycled some SF sprites from the mid 90s like Sagat and Morrigan, the Marvel series in the classic era mostly recycled previous games sprites, etc.
