POCKET FIGHTER (Arcade Mode - Expert) with Maximilian - Part 1

[@LucasHpm]

This game is freaking incredible, Capcom should make some kind of sequel to this game, it's so good!

[@jv-ee7ks]

AGREED👍

[@InbournAnkleBiter]

I'm really starting to want to collect Sega Saturn stuff and this is definitely one of the first games I want to get.

[@ernart]

Surprised Gem Fighter's (Semi Story Mode) Arcade Mode will be more enjoyable and had better replay value than SFV's Story Mode. Those were the times that Capcom does unique ideas for fighting games. It had better Gem System Design Wise than a SFxTekken that is trying to milk our wallets.

[@Zero4ph]

yea Max this game is hard the A.I is the same as SFA1 I have tip for you always get the Red Gem to upgrade the Fireball to lv3 then spam it the A.I always run towards it making them dizzy then do the mighty combo (super) against them rinse and repeat it's cheap I know that's what I did back at the arcades. note except Ibuki and Lei-Lei Ibuki will do her penguin kick which is annoying yup Lei-lei will reflect it so what out for those two characters.

[@Alba_103Side]

+Lucas Hpm No thanks, they'll straight up ruin it.

I had this game on the PlayStation way back when as a kid. I loved this game. All these years later and it's sad to see this has more charm and character then the games we have today. ffs

[@essam007]

Well, money changes people.

[@KAP_]

Sam Just Or maybe the gamers that buy the shallow titles Capcom releases. Just look at the sales for the Resi 5 & 6

[@goldentrophy7858]

Hop on Fightcade we have a competitive scene for this game in there

[@ShadwTunes]

I smell a Boss Rage incoming. Max should do it as Morrigan or Felicia as tribute and hope for bringing a new Darkstalkers out finally!

[@eblanco7621]

ShadwTunes same

[@Slayerofall21]

Lawlz at chibi Tessa using Mai Ling as a human shield, Bison on a sledge, DeeJay mixing drinks like a pro, June Lin Milliam as a waitress, Leo (not Whitefang, I'm referring to the Red Earth character) chilling near the fireplace next to Lilith and Demitri going "WHEEEEEEEEEEE" and sliding across the dancing room in his castle, while MidnightBlissed Jedah stares at him. This is also where Banpresto/Namco got their ideas for Felicia's assist in Project X Zone 2 Old age Capcom at its finest, when they were bursting with creativity. Nowadays, they've become a joke

[@molilnonagonpi7500]

"DEE JAY, MIX THOSE FUCKING DRINKS" There's something about that line that I simply love.

[@MetalPcAngel]

When Crap'om loved and cared for it's fans. I miss those times. . .

[@TheEndKing]

+MetalPcAngel Cashom?

[@CiccioImberlicchio]

+MetalPcAngel You mean, When Capcom cared about their other Fighting Game franchises other than SF and tried to make their other games popular not expecting an insane amount of sells for continue to supporting them

[@justrev6755]

+Ciccio Imberlicchio Back when Crapcum did not sell halfbaked games. They make WB and Konami look good nowadays

[@elchostomo]

Back when the arcade ruled the earth, Capcom the old capcom died with the the sucess of the modern Day console, all the dlc and bullshit who came after was the result of the people wanting this games on home.

[@elchostomo]

Don't blame Capcom blame us, we killed the arcades.

[@TaskMaster5]

Are we just going to ignore the rather adorable chibi Bison who's sledding and ice skating in the background around 14:00? Cuz...that's fucking amazing.

[@RafaSantos1327]

"This is harder than 3rd strike." Dood, Max.

[@justrev6755]

+southsideroy Vega trying to ski with his claws

[@Slayerofall21]

+southsideroy Oh, are you referring to her pink costume whenever she does a combo? That would be a reference to June Lin Milliam from Star Gladiator/Plasma Sword, whose specialty is hitting people with her butt. Literally

[@southsideroy]

***** Yea that, we'll go with your explanation lol

[@N00BSYBORG]

Talk about a game that could use an HD rerelease. These are still the most adorable sprites ever.

[@EricTheKei]

Just some little helpers in case you come back to it :) - There is NO chip damage in this game, even from supers. If you block successfully, you can eat any blockable super with 1 pixel of life and survive - Remember, the only buttons are punch, kick, and super - Supers can be done Alpha style OR with the standard motion + Super (e.g. QCFx2+P and QCF+S have the same effect) - Dan and Akuma are hidden in the corners on the top row. No special code needed, just move the cursor there. - Dan is actually viable, for two reasons: He is useless at long range (as usual), but decent up close (Gem Lv3 QCB+K is rather nice)...and this game encourages you to stay close. Also, he has a raging demon (P, P, =>, K, S) that does *not* hurt him. Yes, he still has a super taunt. Good luck with that. - Akuma has two raging demons: One the normal way ^ , the other is a half-circle with S. You see some of the hits on one of them. Morrigan's Darkness Illusion, same commands, but she only gets one animation. - Costume change combos are what they *really* want you to do. Most begin with standing neutral P. Vary them up, toss in the occasional quarter-second pause after the first or second hit, try down and K or P on hit 2 or 3, etc, and see what happens. - Don't attack the flying red guys. The others are fair game. - The AI is indeed a cheating bastard x.x

[@moiseslascari4619]

EricTheKei isn't it always?

[@victorrico1748]

Music on this game was awesome. Loved the move when you hit someone really hard and you send them flying around the world and landed on the other side of the stage. This game is amazing.

[@fluidwolf]

I remember having the Alpha Anthology and it had this on it. This was one of the ones I played the most out of all the games on the disc

[@tosoide69]

PLEASE GIVE US A POCKET FIGHTER BOSS RAGE!!!!!!!!!

[@davidmason6119]

+Jose Sousa But, who would the boss be? Dan?

[@metaboss7567]

+David “SkaSkull” Mason No that's Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo. And in this game, the arcade stories for each character have different final bosses.

[@darkrai436]

10:37 Fun fact, somebody made a version of Zangief with that wrestling costume for MUGEN, it's named Red Cyclone.

***** And how many cops can throw fireballs, Dumbass?

[@Sitrush]

I am going to say this POCKET FIGHTER>SF5

[@VTuber_Central]

+Sitrush agreed, it was so anime like and funny, and each button combination did a different combo, also why its better then SF5 is because it used the old school sfx for eg. block (good childhood memories, the alpha series was the best) it also had interactable objects like you can hit the guy in the clouds

[@SoulCalvin559]

I got this game for the original PlayStation. Max finally listened to me when I asked for this. Next is Super Puzzle Fighter. The nostalgia is real.

[@sangan3202]

this game had so much charm i love it

I just love how I can glance away for a split second to see who's in the background and when I look back Chun-li is directing a parade of bike traffic to run over Ibuki. Classic Street Fighter.

[@tempatempo3805]

This game looks super fun. Thanks Max, went and bought it immediatly on the PSN.

[@geraldbenton1]

why this never got a sequel is tragic.

[@MaragiAmagi]

That sledding Bison tho

[@slifer875]

+Joose Neck for you it was tuesday but for bison it was the greatest day in his life

[@StephonZeno]

Back when Capcom wasn't all super serious about everything. Hell, even in Resident Evil 2, I saw you could play as a big piece of tofu. If they do make a MvC 4, I hope they make it super over the top and cartooney just like MvC 2...That, and I also hope they complete it before releasing it.

[@elchostomo]

Back when the arcades were profitable the modern console market isn't reliable anymore for games like this.

[@StephonZeno]

SlashDeux That shouldn't stop em. If a game like Smash Bros. can succeed, I'm sure some like this can.

[@djbubblegum9975]

I had never heard of this game before this vid... Only a minute into a video did I fall in love with it...

[@jknightt2469]

I smell a boss rage in the future

[@abermok]

Ohhh my goood! One of my favourite games ever! Playing this as a kid was a dream come true!

[@metaboss7567]

Gosh, Max made this seem like a Boss Rage than a trip to nostalgia. He even set the computer difficulty to Expert and lost because he wanted to pull a Super. (Yun) Also, "were?" Is the Street Fighter Legacy over? I thought EX3 was going to be covered as well as some from Street Fighter 4.

[@Dremag_Gaming]

Liking the characters in the background just doing whatever they want. :)

[@khanage1344]

I have so many good memories of this game.

[@SuperFingas]

Yeah I agree this game is charming af. I’ve always love this game and how many references there are in the transformations and backgrounds plus the 2D capcom style art. So adorable and cute!

[@jackpliskin161]

"this game is impossible, It's harder than 3rd strike" More honest words were never spoken.

[@danyelperao]

"fuckin' pompoms and shit" 14:05

[@finalizer0]

cammy bouncing on that stool in the first stage is killing me

[@theshadowjester99]

The skeleton K.O animation is a reference to Ghosts N Goblins, which is how Arthur dies in pretty much every Ghosts N Goblins game. The jumping into water K.O animation may be a reference to Super Mario Brothers, as this is how Mario dies. Finally, the split second Zangief turns into a gorilla may be a reference to Donkey Kong. They both look quite similar.

[@theshadowjester99]

It could also be him, but I wear I thought I saw some sort of swirl on top of his head, which is what Donkey Kong has.

[@Slayerofall21]

+TheShadowJester99 Considering he attacks with an axe, it's most likely a ference to Gamof, the yeti/wookie guy from Star Gladiator

[@theshadowjester99]

***** True.

[@LoryPop13]

Oh maaaaan, I loved this game so much as a child (and still do)! It''s really fun and charming

[@SrSacaninha]

This game is so cute... I would love to watch all the animations frame by frame. There's so much in there.

[@DreamStepper]

Ah when Capcom was bursting with creativity...good times.

Why did i just now realize that Felicia intro was a reference to Jon Talbain in Nightwarriors

In an ideal world both would be perfect. But let's be honest, Pocket Fighter 2 is a one in a million thing.

You have no idea how many hours I've spend playing Pocket Fighters when it first came out. Even this game is more enjoyable than SFV.

[@JoLiKMC]

-I'm sad that there was never a Part 2 of this specific play-through.- *Edit:* Oh. "KEN'S GIANT HORSE" actually _is_ Part 2. Whoops. Anyway… I've already seen two play-throughs by The Dood, and I _still_ can't get enough of it! ❤️ But, honestly, the _energy_ of this particular video was just so _great!_ I _love.A how excited he gets whenever he plays this game. He's charming, and this _game_ is charming!

[@Dodgethis1337]

if I recall correctly, mashing buttons when you ultra gives more damage, same as grabbing and mashing l-m-h punch in third.

+Digishade Lol they did in a way. Gief has a move where he can irish whip opponents into the wall and combo after it like Mika. And hsien-ko has a move where she can throw out multiple projectiles one after the other in short bursts like guiles v-trigger.
