RATE THE SUPER: Def Jam - Fight for NY

[@PrincipalSkinner3190]

This game is legendary. There are actually so many unique fighting styles depending on which two you combine.

[@agrippa2012]

30, if you are combining 3 styles, and 20, if you're combining 2 styles. so 50 in total to be exact

[@RGF91]

you will never see another fighting game with this many rappers ever again

[@qmchale5130]

You can combine up to three styles, and there are five styles in all. I always chose Martial Arts, Streetfighting and Wrestling.

The great thing about the Blazin moves is that the rappers gave their input on what the moves should look like which is awesome because it definitely shows off their personalities and stage personas.

[@shawnfields2369]

I agree; it's very awesome, and I think out of all the ones I saw my personal favorites were(in no particular order): Doc(you know , the dude with the best intro who clearly may or may not be Redman from the Wu-Tang Clan, but I can't be too sure on that), Ludacris, Prodigy, Sean Paul, David Banner, Ghostface Killah, Crazy Legs, Slick Rick, Ice-T, Lil' Flip, Lil' Kim, Dan G(the dude with the spin kick he uses on that guy House), and while I don't know every single rapper in the game, mostly everyone here had an amazing Blazin Move, straight out of a wrestling game, or even a Street Fighter game. Even some of the more whack looking Blazin Moves didn't feel or look awful, and I felt the impacts were really on point. Damn, I wish I'd gotten to play this game back in the day, because I was a fan of some of these rappers in the game, and still am, but I would've loved to play as some of these guys and beat the absolute crap out them especially with Ghostface Killah's Blazin Move. Too bad these moves don't have individual names, because I'd love to hear and see what the names would be. But that's legitimately great that literally each rapper in game had gave their input on what the moves should look like; even if some of them were whack, like House's, which is the whackest Blazin Move ever. His is just a submission choke. I know he's a big dude, but still, that was whack, and it looked weak. Glad to know that Ghostface wanted his Blazin to be him spinning someone around, breaking them over his back, and then, suplexing them back down. That was just awesome. And it's also awesome, how Sean Paul wanted to kick someone several times in the air, spin around, and then end it with a leg drop on their gut, because I liked it a lot. And I don't even like Sean Paul, honestly. But even if I don't like or even know who most of these rappers are, it's nice to see that a lot of them have sick finishers, with amazing impacts. I really wish I could've played this game when it came out, it still looks GREAT; for a GCN/PS2/Xbox era game, I mean that in a good way, no sarcasm here. I just wish I didn't start playing this series with Icon, the one game in this series that we don't talk about here because it was so bad, it killed the Def Jam games. Which is a shame; these Blazin Moves were awesome and I'd have loved to been able to play a 4th game on the Switch somehow. Or even if they were somehow able to port Def Jam: Fight For NY to the Switch, or it's sequel, Vendetta, which people really hated for some reason. Either way, the Blazin Moves were some of the sickest moves I've ever seen in any fighting game; and knowing that rappers like Ludacris wanted his Blazin Move to be him springboarding off you, and then, while still in the air, elbow dropping you, right in the face, that's awesome, and also, it's insane, but in all the right ways. But if I had to rank my own personal Top 12 Blazin Moves in the game, I'd definitely go with: 1st: Ghostface Killah 2nd: Doc 3rd: Ludacris 4th: Lil' Flip 5th: Ice-T 6th: Sean Paul 7th: Prodigy 8th: Dan G 9th: Crazy Legs 10th: Lil' Kim 11th: Slick Rick 12th: David Banner. But those are just my own opinions on which Blazin Moves I thought looked the best. Honorable Mentions to: Scarface(the dude who's Blazin went before Sean Paul's), Xzibit, Bonecrusher, W.C., Magic, Crow(Snoop Dogg), and to Warren G; for having some cool Blazin Moves as well. Sorry if this seemed like it went on forever. But I just really love this game, and rap as a genre. You just rarely, if ever; get to see an amazing game like this come along. It's special to be able to have had a game like this come along, and either hear about it, or play it and see how awesome it is for yourself. And this game, "Def Jam: Fight For NY" was definitely one of them.

Matt McMuscles would have been very disappointed if you gave Bless’ finisher anything higher than a three.

[@Skye_Blue]

My brother and I used to play this game so much. Seeing how well it's aged makes me nostalgic for those days of constantly replaying the campaign, trying and mixing all the fighting styles, and quoting Sean Paul at each other because neither of us understood him. Good times.

[@PKCoalTrain]

I WOULD HAVE NEVER THOUGHT I'D SEE A RATE THE SUPER THIS GAME!!!! THE NOSTALGIA!!!

The comp special is a mandible claw basically. Comp is from Baltimore and he was born with 2 fingers on one of his hands resembling a claw. He used to be called the baltimore claw..

[@arreng2364]

This game is a masterpiece and It's very enjoyable to play it with your friends because the supers are so goofy and disrespectful 🤣

[@oscarrod96]

@@shen-long9082 well a lot of rappers actually. And yes, the game was a masterpiece at the time it came out. I still personally think it is. Combat was fun, brutal, and also makes a fun multiplayer game. So yes, masterpiece.

[@bizzarejelly5818]

Ah yes Method Man the Ryu of the Def Jam series

[@BrunoSXS]

Loved this game. Never understood that it was a wrestling game until years later in my life. Started liking specific wrestling games like that thanks to it.

[@DeadpoolsChimiChanga]

This game might be the definition of a hidden gem - who in the world would ever expect the licensed rapper fighting game to be any good? But it’s REALLY good. Me and my friends played it a ton in high school. Happy to see it getting some spotlight from a major streamer

[@JCStellar]

I never thought I’ll see the day Max reacts to these supers 😂

[@Dastardly_Duo]

This is one of my favorite childhood games and Max rating the super moves is insane. I'm so grateful omg

[@CWL121412]

If this series ever comes back, Hannibal Buress (due to the Morpheus rap, he's a lyrical genius) needs to show up and do the Iconic Kick to Flavor Flav.

[@redwolfe7049]

And he comes out in a death basket.

[@sebastianmuntaner7162]

Imagine his super throws your ass in a death basket while drinking a 40

[@DJCocoaButter]

To add context to C.O.M.P's The Man With The Hand (the one where he says he's eating a bunch of doritos). C.O.M.P actually has a deformed hand but the implication is that he's choking you out with said hand. C.O.M.P is an actually rapper and one his bodies of work is named The Man With The Hand. The move makes more sense on a custom character.

[@joekewl7539]

Genuinely a joy to see this uploaded. Def Jam has some unbelievably brutal supers, so seeing Max see one of PlayStation 2's finest is quite the treat.

[@C-ex]

I laughed so hard when Max called Pockets "Buttons." (≧▽≦)

Love these Rate The Super videos man, there's just something bout em.

I’ve been so desperate to get this re-released! The memories I have from this game with my brother back in the day can’t be beat! So dope

[@trvpmusic2569]

Have to get rights from all the artist and labels it would be a hassle from that alone

[@mitomidou]

I always liked coming back to this game when my PS2 still worked. Miss it so much. It made it feel like the fighting game was like an RPG. Very cool.

[@MyManJFKTV]

The story mode was very RPG like

[@GhostandChromis]

FFNY is my favorite game of all time honestly. The atmosphere, the presentation, the gameplay, the music, all of it was so, SO perfect.

[@ne0nblaze265]

My biggest takeaway from this video is remembering that Carmen Electra exists.

[@SpyDaMan105]

This game alone better than 92% of the fighting games out currently 🤷 they don't make fun games like this anymore 😂 this game was hilariously fun

[@trvpmusic2569]

It was also 4 player

[@link6000]

Used to play the shit out of this game on my cousin ps2 and later on emulators. I always build my CAC with these 4 which are my favourites: 14:00 17:08 35:19 36:28 - Street Respect is my favourite blazin' in this game despite being the most basic. i love this so much that i trained it a lot when a kid to reproduce it in somebody in an eventual fight, LOL

[@chocolateice24]

This game needs a remastered or at least a sequel with alot of old rappers in it this game was so fun back then 😀😀😀👌🏽💯

[@ultraunique3476]

Definitely one of the best games from the PS2 era. These new Pussifed developers could never create greatness like this game ever again.

[@XSAGA87]

Tell Em!!!

[@Theodiorr]

They can’t because it’s more about licensing and actually paying the celbrities

[@theobell2002]

"Pussified"? Huh?

[@Matt-vv7fl]

This game is soooooo awesome! I played the living hell out of it back in the day. My favorite finishers were the jump rope and pogo stick ones. And you're right, they were very expensive to buy and you had to complete all the missions after the story mode ended to get them.

[@chrisalvarez4298]

Def Jam Vendetta had 2 supers per character. Hoping to see him do a Rate The Super for that one too. Also, this is like the 6th time asking for a Street Fighter EX3 RTS.

[@BlackMask1980]

Yeah it was a front and a back finisher for all characters

[@kingghxstgaming]

That’s why I loved dmx

[@theobell2002]

FFNY reused a lot Vendetta finishers but it does miss some..

[@Alienoticz23]

This is one of those games that DESERVES a follow up or at least a remake. Great game.

[@pocoloco753]

Aside from Snoop Dogg and the dude from Fast and Furious I have no idea who any of these characters are so I can say without bias that this game looks amazingly fun

[@tre97ablex24]

You'll know majority of them if you were a hip hop head in the 2000s

29:51 Suspect is the dark sillouette of your character before character creation seen helping D-Mob out of the smashed cop car. His stats are all maxed out.

[@GCLU]

18:23 That walk...12/10 indeed

[@dujhauni513]

Fun Fact: The character that comes after Snoop Dogg (Crow) is named D-Mob (bald guy in the tank top). He's voiced by Chris Judge, the same man who voiced Kratos in the most recent God Of War game. And David Banner's outro is basically him saying "He's from Mississippi". You're welcome.

[@devincasares3002]

Just see you rate the supers on this just made my night, I used to play this alot with my older brother and uncle on the PS2 when I was little

[@crusadergamer4995]

It feels like this game is very underrated and I don't think not enough people talk about it this game these days

[@FurryStockings]

Busta Rhymes' Blazing Move was always my go-to in this game lol

[@VoidEternal]

One of the legitimately most fun fighting games I've ever played. Flat out. i hope one day we can get another wacky wild Psuedo Wrestler like. Not only did it have really solid and interesting mechanics, but the fact that the different fighting styles combined to create so many unique hidden styles was insane. And it not only matter WHAT styles you got, but also WHAT ORDER they came in. The depth was off the charts and I wish this franchise/genre gets revived one day.
