Obscure Gaming: Bloody Roar 3 (PS2)

Today on Obscure Gaming, I promote fictional animal violence because I'm talking about a game called Bloody Roar 3 that involves animal human hybrids fighting each other. Suck it PETA.

[@HybridAngelZero]

The character named Alice turns into a white rabbit. HA! I see what you did there, game developers.

[@DragONheart27X]

I never considered Bloody Roar obsucre, heck it has a fanbase but it has dwindled now that Konami has abandoned it.

[@MegaIvanify]

God damn it Konami...

[@matthewbrown169]

This game was never obscure among my friends. It is simplistic on the surface, like Tekken, but has move timings you can change up mid-combo, multi-path combos, and some strategy on the transformation meter.

[@Laetus-Elaetus]

Watching your old stuff out of boredom and... It confuses and frightens me when a video ends and no endslate follows o.o I've become so used to it

[@zaphobosdeimos6237]

Slightly obscure, yes. Was it good? Hell yeah.

[@Bangcat]

Lot of interesting designs went into the series over time and some deeper thought mechanics than mentioned. Quick in place dodges with timing that could make you woosh around predictable combo timings, a duck that goes lower than typical crotch for a brief moment with a double tap down, much easier to use side step mechanics that let you really play the arenas of choice, even forcing the opponent to fall to their knees, like light hitting them on final hit, makes the enemy officially class as crouched so your anti couch moves have more Likely use than in many fighting game series. Going beast changes some statistics like impact class like how high or far you hit them and pending on their human and beast state. Rave mode for each character also changes some elements per character and what they can string. Someone who thinks they'll run and let the clock run down can be counted with rave node as it makes then faster and stops the round clock, rave mode playing the gamble of all their breast energy in it's own kind of time limit. Beating in standard beast mode turns that change activation button into another attack button that singe planned, and made up I the fly combos can expand upon alone. So many things were done right and the side plots that wind around the main stories can get interesting from corporate warfare, countries born through sacrifice, and even those experimented upon. Some of them in turn only to find themselves cloned, revealed to them they're the clone, and one who only learns of such after reaching back from the grave as his materials forward into a robotics program secretly continued in a sub division of a company that has already found it's parent companies doors shut . There is so much to the series and even the very first game set a rather interesting stage for some pretty heavy circumstances to reach the light of day by the second title, then brought all the more come the third, including but not limited to, the marks that claimed place upon many beast men, and to a long hidden away seal that one man sought intentionally to unleash that what was to powerful for the world and was removed thus from creation, the un born. I recommend playing the titles you can find, particularly BR 3 or Extreme/primal fury. Then go ahead and find a few KZbin videos that cover some stories from the universe. The series deserves the now rumored return that's been floating around. Hopefully more wall smashing, floor breaking, mid fight form changing, blood splashing to the walls, anime like choices and quirks, with speed chess match like game play will be here again soon. There's just so much more to it than what's been shown off here, and yet add the video says, it's easy to get started. But there's so much more to the mechanics that can be played with. Air juggles to death are possible, but only if you get extremely predictable. Recover in air, on floor landing, or stay down a moment longer. You have ways out of a lot of combos that the combo dealer can still find more tricks to play. Anyone can enjoy this game and I never met the man who played the game not go back and play it some more. Not all know of it, but those who played it all enjoyed it and often didn't realize just how many fellow fans there were.

[@kojumbobeefman3448]

You're telling me there's a fighting game where you can turn into a wolfman mid-fight? I need to buy this XD

[@kojumbobeefman3448]

+juan francisco robles araiza 2 de la manguera cecilio 3,carlos 6 OBJECTION! :P

[@kojumbobeefman3448]

+juan francisco robles araiza 2 de la manguera cecilio 3,carlos 6 Interesting. I never knew she said that until now. "The More You Know" :D

[@Yuriofwind]

I didn't go into full detail but I did mention that the future of the series is unknown at this point. The games developer Hudson Soft ceased to exist on March of this year and was absorbed into Konami, so who knows when/if there will be a new game. I would like to thank Wikipedia for the specifics on the matter.

[@jasongelf7857]

You can't buy happiness with money, money IS happiness.

[@averageporcupine108]

Well said. NOW GO PARK MY HOVERBOARD IN THE 500-STORY MANSION, JEEVES!

[@GodEmperorSuccc]

Goddamn. Thank you Yuri, I could not remember the name of this game and I loved it so much. Great Video.

[@TrueUnderDawgGaming]

Dude...you totally called it lol. Capcom won't be making another fighting game after Ultra Street Fighter IV until 2018. You're a genius, sir.

[@Yuriofwind]

Glad you enjoyed it :D. But no, that was actually music from this game :3. Though, Baten Kaitos is pretty sweet. Especially that battle theme. Damn. XD.

[@littledude958]

thank you yuri! i played this game when it first came out and its been driving me nuts on what it was called. I really liked it, and i think im gonna pick it up again thanks to you!

[@Showakusai]

I just stumbled across your channel and videos and I must say, you have the best content I've seen in a while. Your humor is excellent, yet you drop us with well researched facts.

[@CrispyJM]

Thought this was more famous really, I played these games alot years ago and loved them. PS1, PS2 and GC are the ones I played and it was really really fun. Thanks for reminding me of my childhood Yuri!

[@AmazingPineapples]

I was having the SHITTIEST day, and those first few lines you said made it all better. I love you.

[@Goshujinsama17]

This is hands down the best of the series and watching this video only serves to remind of me why I need it back in my collection.

[@SirMeowLive]

Bloody Roar is an easy game to pick up and play, but it's difficult to master. I love this series to death and i think it deserves more love! Fantastic video Yuri!!! :)

[@Yuriofwind]

Yes, obscure and bad are two different things, as are obscure and good. As you said, obscure means that not a lot of people know about it, though it can also be something that's odd or weird. I've talked about obscure games like this that are good, but I've also talked about others that are bad. So where are we going with this?

[@Yuriofwind]

Well thank you. When it comes to what I decide is Obscure, I tend to pick things that I myself don't see get any attention from everyone else, so they may not be super obscure games, but they're enough so that they warrant the video.

[@Safersephiroth777]

I remember this one. We even had Tournaments with my friends! We didn't know anything and just pressed buttons. Fun times though!

[@Feralwolf444]

I have this game collecting dust on my shelf. Didn't know it was rare. Than again, didn't know my copy of Snow Brothers was rare either...

[@Skeletroy]

Great video, Yuriofwind! My friend was telling me about this game yesterday. Also, I like how you began and ended the video by talking about Santa. Gives it a nice cohesiveness.

[@GalacticGamerYT]

I love your videos. Mostly the Gaming Mysteries. Keep on making videos dude!

[@RavinFox]

This is one of my favorite fighters of all time. It REALLY needs a comeback. Primal fury/extreme was great too!

[@RunicBlade98]

I love how you made the Santa Clause joke from the beginning come full circle with your hit list joke at the end

[@Yuriofwind]

I own them all. I plan on talking about them eventually, though that's in a different segment I haven't started yet. :3.

[@calemr]

I have the Gamecube version of this (Which I think was the 4th in the series?). LOVED it. Always promote it. Always wish for a sequel. BU-SU-ZIMA!

[@Dudinator123]

Two bloody roar 3 reviews in one week! That's awesome! Great review by the way, man.

[@Yuriofwind]

You get it! I love it when I go to respond to people and someone does it for me. That's great XD.

[@Yuriofwind]

When I see that I've posted a new video, I take my anti anxiety medication. :3.

[@chahleybros]

Props for reviewing a game that I know that if anyone plays it they instantly love it!

[@bentleyml]

I was kind of surprised seeing this on a series called Obscure Gaming because among my group of gamers, this was a series we'd play during gaming nights. Fun, mindless fighter with a nice twist.

[@tennis11151]

Great video. I've enjoyed playing the Bloody Roar series. It's a great fighting series and while I haven't played 3 or 4 yet cause I haven't found them yet, it's still freaking badass.:)

[@Yuriofwind]

Well thank you xD. Up next is a review and then we end off fighting game month with that Gaming Mysteries.

[@doomking32]

This video makes me want to go play the second game(which is the game i happen to have.) I would say you covered everything pretty much spot on. Good job Yuri :)

[@TheNekoPastel]

This was the Bloody Roar I have played all my life ! I had never played any of the other Bloody Roar games until a few weeks ago ! I always loved playing Uriko or Jenny, I loved the fast paced action, the soundtrack is stellar and I always loved the graphic violence 😂 Probably my favourite fighting game of all time ! 🐱🔥❤️

[@Yuriofwind]

If you don't like the humor that's fine, everyone has different tastes. However, the majority of the people who watch my videos find them funny, even though the humor is unintentional. Since they like it, and I like it, I don't see myself changing how I do things. Not to mention, focusing purely on facts is just boring. At that point I'd be better off pointing people towards a wiki for them to read. So no, things will remain as they are. I like what I'm doing, and my viewers like it as well.

[@aaronyeboah6494]

I love the franchise. It’s wonderful. There’ll be a new one coming out. Its manga books were finalized in Shueisha’s Monthly Shōnen Jump. I love fighter games. They’re to challenge the players with opponents in order to strengthen them for the best.

[@nickthedestoryer]

Just by watching the first 40 seconds you have made my day

[@Yuriofwind]

Well right now it's just rumored, so I want to see what the deal is before I say anything. If it is actually cancelled and we have a reason for the cancelling that's beyond just speculation, then I'll make a video about it. Or hell, even if it is just speculation I'll probably still talk about it.

[@RetroGamerRanting]

I loved this game, I remember playing this game at the Arcade or at least the first one. Great Vid man.

[@Yuriofwind]

Two Santa references, mocking Peta, and a mention of Super Sentai and Kamen Rider all in the same video. My work here is done.

[@qmto]

This game is awesome, I love it. Cant belive its over 10 years old now.

[@eddiejared]

OMG this video seals the deal! I thought NOONE ELSE know what Bloody Roar was. I've just subscribed!

[@Yuriofwind]

Dude, you guys are awesome subscribers o_o. I cannot stress that enough XD.

[@UnderscoreCrestFall]

I was watching a KZbinr who put out really good videos but he just swore at everyone in the comments. And seeing as I actually respect you, I wont even bother repeating some of the rude, and disgusting things he said to his subscribers before blocking them. Though, you're awesome dude. c: You're a kind, smart, and funny youtuber that deserves to be more popular. :D

[@Yuriofwind]

That's been the whole point to Obscure Gaming since day one, stupid jokes and for me to have an opportunity to fuck around a bit. It's not meant to be taken as an in-depth serious review, and I don't sell it as such.

[@Alamantus]

LOL "It's gonna be great!" Hahaha, I couldn't stop laughing after the opening! Dang it! Hahaha!

[@SinsOfScience]

I like your videos. "What more could you ask for? Lots of money!" Really made me laugh. :)

[@TheOmegaSquadHD]

DUDE YOUR JOKES A HILARIOUS! The one about a "civil world" had me in tears

[@abel12308]

yuriofwind or andrew, your videos bring me good luck. 3 days ago my dad gave me 75 bucks for nothing. 2 days ago my dad gave me a brand new 1080p 42 inch hd tv. yesterday my dad gave me a brand new desk. and just now my dad gave me a brand new phone. all which happened when watching your videos. THANK YOU SSO MUCH!!!

[@Drowsy_Deku]

They had this game set up at the local Toys R Us and my brother and I played the hell out of it. So much fun. Good to see it's not entirely unknown

[@knifinshadow]

my favorite ps2 game of my childhood thx for showin this yuriowind

[@SoraSonicShine819]

I wish the Bloody Roar series would've been more popular.It deserves the popularity.

[@DerpyBro]

Bloody roar 2 was the second fighting game i've ever played. Those where the good old days.

[@Yuriofwind]

At the end of the month, as I said in the update video no one watched.

[@Yuriofwind]

Well I'm glad you think so ^_^.

[@ChocoboDreams]

Thanks for the response. :P That actually provides quite a bit of clarity, and leaves plenty of potential for a future release. Who knows if Konami will ever touch the game, but at least we know someone has the rights to make one.

[@RebornAleph]

Thanks, I appreciate that you get in touch with your subscribers too. Whatever we're doing right... well, for what it's worth, you totally deserved it.

[@DreamscapeAngel37]

"Better not catch me on a full moon." Yugo was my favorite.

[@HarleyAMV]

Bloody Roar was my favorite ps1 fighting game.. there was just so much crap to do and the combos were out of this world. There were even a way to get your character to change color and outfits or make you look like wobbly head dolls and it was the strangest thing too. We had to press or tab different buttons on the controller while loading the game in different combinations or for certain amounts of time. And we didnt have internet so we had to figure it all out on our own, it was epic-fun-time!

[@jeffjoraj]

Glad to see you haven't left the face of the Earth Yuriofwind :3

[@MykiiMescal]

I still wanna know if Santa is real :(

[@ichigovsed]

Yuri did say that he is checking his hit list twice, like Santa. SANTA CONFIRMED FOR BLOODY ROAR 5!

[@MykiiMescal]

ichigovsed

[@MiloTheMightyDude]

He might be. Pretty much depends on if magic is real.

[@jsechser6]

Fun video! I used to play Bloody Roar a lot back when it came out. Also, a thumbs up for the Tokusatsu shutouts. Henshin!

[@Yuriofwind]

Don't think I don't want to! That was a fascinating RPG, so that's on my to do list :3.

[@Enth3nd]

I did not think of furies when I first played this, but since you have mentioned it. .. Thanks

[@GladiusVitae]

New video...I knew today was going to be a good day.

[@dannyleemoon]

Yuri said hes like Santa. . . So Yuri must be Santa. . . Santa is real! XD

[@Dazreiello-old]

Lol I didnt know Bloody roar was THAT obscure. Nice cover on it, I always loved it, The bat was distracting.. and the Unborn was OP! wooot

[@mirorih2TheTrueFinnmarkWierdo]

Bloody Roar, man how I love that series. Me and a friend played it for 4 years almost everyday we where at my place or his place^^

[@zomaru3]

I like how they use animals that you wouldn't think of like the beetle and the chameleon

[@basilanan]

Why do I have the nagging feeling you've read a fan-fic? I'm...sorry for your loss.

[@Yuriofwind]

Do not a lot of people do that? o_o. I've never really understood why. Personally I like to interact with the people who watch the crap I upload :3, tis why I made that facebook page xD.

[@dudeapenny]

Haha, happy birthday Yuriofwind. XD Can't wait for your next video. :3

[@randomman5]

A good game for Obscure Gaming is Baten Kaitos Origins. It was released at the end of the Gamecube's life-span, a few months before the Wii was released, but the gameplay is fun and original and the story and characters are amazingly well-written. I'd recommend it to any RPG fan.

[@Yuriofwind]

I'm by no means against it as I enjoy the work of a lot of the content creators apart of Normal Boots. My things is, I don't want to just ask if I can join, because I think that's pretty rude. It's their site, so it's not my call to make. If I'm ever approached to join, or if someone else asks and then they want me to join, then I'll do so, but I'm not going to try and force my way in. Whatever happens, happens, either way I'll keep making videos. :3.

[@MegaKratos234]

Wow thanks for responding :3 A you tuber that doesn't ignore the shit out of his viewers. I respect that 100%. I feel like a giddy school girl now.

[@Viper505repiV1]

You should do a video for Evil Zone. This video reminded me of this. Mostly due to the overly simplistic controls and the fact it's a fighting game.

[@CelesteStardust]

My cousin got a Bloody Roar game with his Gamecube. It was really fun! It had anime cutscenes, which were really cool! My favourite one's the half-cat girl with the long sleeves. :D

[@LatiasDita]

Heh, I remember playing some of the first game many years ago. Nicely done look at this game! Also, was that Baten Kaitos music I heard at the end there? Awesome!

[@Yuriofwind]

I see, well that's kind of sad. I mean personally I think people should respond to their viewers(obviously it's impossible to respond to everyone, but make an attempt) because without the viewers, the video maker wouldn't be where they are. As far as being friendly and humble, that's just my personality :3(except when dealing with douches) I'm under the mindset that no one is better then anyone else. We're all on a level playing field. If I had 100,000 subs I'd still respond to comments. :3

[@MrShadownetwork]

i actually really loved playing the bloody roar series as a kid and if they ever make a new one i will be sure to be on that like no tomorrow

[@saiyoucho]

Ah I remember playing Bloody Roar 1 when it came out. That was really fun at the time. It was pretty different from most other fighters.

[@thebishopofme]

Bloody Roar 3 was awesome! When I was in college, my buddies and I played it all the time!

[@Neir666]

Bloody roar is a big part of my gamecube childhood =D

[@Cupcakeking0]

NOOOOOOO Now I'll never know about Santa.... Great video :3

[@Yuriofwind]

Well I'm glad you think that XD. Thanks :3.

[@Yuriofwind]

Fairly competitive, though it depends on the game. I have no local fighting game scene in my area, as I live in the middle of nowhere. I also can't travel into the city to play in tournaments there because I'm not all that great at driving due to the medications I'm on. I do have a few select friends I play these games with though. Ideally, I'd like to make it out to Evo next year though. Not to win, because that's a snowballs chance in hell, but more to just experience a great tournament.

[@Piesonscreations]

Awesome video! Man, fanfics are sure scary.

[@hypersonic1337]

Oh man I remember Bloody Roar on Gamecube. That was an awesome version of it. Never played the others but the Gamecube one was great

[@OfficeHanchoBoxing]

do ehrgeiz thats most obscure fighting game i know of

[@eddiejared]

I know what Yugo Says: " I know tougher Sandbags!" "You're lucky there isn't a full moon!"

[@necro6848]

That chameleon guy at the end looked like the guy from Rango.

[@averageporcupine108]

You mean...Rango?

[@necro6848]

Average Porcupine EXACTLY

[@averageporcupine108]

A reward was mentioned for answering correct. -~-

[@necro6848]

Average Porcupine Your reward is to get a life.

[@averageporcupine108]

Where is it? You don't seem to have it.

[@MrFixer1983]

Nice review, i played alot this game back in the day. The PS2 version i like the most. There is a Bloody Rear 4 (only on PS2), i think it is more obscure.

[@o0Smush]

I loved this game, I cant believe i forgot about it until now

[@supertoasteroftoast]

The Yuriofwind drinking game: Every time he makes a good video, take a shot. Welp, I'm almost wasted. Let's do this.

[@Yuriofwind]

Yeah I do. Summer is really hot you guys. Peace out, keepin it real.

[@ProfessM]

WHOOT KAMEN RIDER! And it was Joker! Great vid.

[@Meowskivich]

Awww, the mole guy isn't in that one. I believe it was the second one for the PS that a friend of mine and I played when I was younger, I loved being the guy that morphed into a mole...
