SGB Smackdown Sunday: Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid

[@TheBlueTyphoon17]

Correction: Rita’s voice actress Barbara Goodson is still alive. In fact, she’s still doing voice work today. You might be confused with her Japanese actress from Super Sentai series. She passed away years ago.

[@Dragonpit]

Barbara’s most recent VA role, that I’m aware of, was as Tifa’s landlord in FF7: Remake.

[@aionicthunder]

13:27 No, Barbara Goodson's still alive. She was in Once & Always just last year EDIT: And, to add onto that, the reason she's "Robo-Rita" in that special is because of Countdown to Destruction and what happened to her in that episode. Besides, it's not like it'd be first time they recast Rita if they wanted to give her a more human body. When Rita was re-introduced to MMPR after Zed took her place, she had a "makeover", so someone else could play her. That actress was still dubbed over Barbara Goodson, but she wasn't the sentai actress

[@death2641]

Japanese actress who played Rita passed away

[@PissedGrunty]

Barbara Goodson never played Rita physically. She was only a voice for her.

[@SeelkadoomandJokic00]

Gonna say I was a part of this games community & as someone who is a huge Power Rangers & Super Sentai fan. I love the inclusion of rangers outside of MMPR. Also Eric is Dan. The Quantum Ranger, whose personality is Vergil BEFORE Vergil. Also RJ is Vergil from the DMC Reboot. We know Adam is Johnny. And Dante/Reuben Langdon was actually in B-Fighter Kabuto as Mac Windy in japan who was then adapted in Beetleborgs as Dragonborg which was ALSO in Reuben Landon.

[@DouglasStewart99]

Wasn't Reuben also in Time Force? As in that one dude that Katie threw out of his car in the 1st/2nd episode?

[@SeelkadoomandJokic00]

​@@DouglasStewart99yeah he made a cameo in time force. I mainly wanted to point out he was actually in a Japanese Tokusatsu AND was in the American adaptation of said Japanese original show.

I really do love how Eric in this game is straight up just Vergil gameplay, they went all in on the similarities and it makes him so much fun to play.

"Power Rangers are the discount food stamp welfare buy-two-get-one-free version of Super Sentai that came out after Super Sentai and Kamen Rider in the 1970s. And don't even get me started on how UltraMan came out first as that is their grandpops from the 1960s." - DevonteTheOne Every good Power Rangers season has an equally better Super Sentai season. Power Rangers Dino Thunder was good, but Bakaryuu Sentai Abaranger is on another level, Power Rangers SPD being another banger season, but Tokosou Sentai Dekaranger is better again, Power Rangers Ninja Storm was also good, but Ninpuu Sentai Hurricanger was better, Power Rangers Turbo was being way too serious, Gekisou Sentai Carranger being more light hearted, Power Rangers Time Force is good, but Mirai Sentai Timeranger is better, Power Rangers In Space being a space epic, concepts taken from Denji Sentai Megaranger which was a great season as well, Power Rangers Super Megaforce was essentially an add-on for Power Rangers Megaforce the year peior where both took most of the stuff from Tensou Sentai Goseiger and Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger respectively and were 20 times better than Power Rangers Megaforce and Power Rangers Super Megaforce, Power Rangers Zeo being amazing, but can not compete with Chouriki Sentai Ohranger, even Mighty Morphin Power Rangers is the OG, but Kyoryuu Sentai Zyuranger is the 16th Super Sentai season that Power Rangers used and also taking the mechas/zords and concepts from the 17th Super Sentai season Gosei Sentai Dairanger for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Season 2 and for the third season as well as Mighty Morphin Alien Rangers using the 18th Super Sentai season Ninja Sentai Kakuranger for the weapons and abilities.

[@aeon87]

Scorpina was a recurring villain in MMPR season 1 and 2, first debuting in Green with Evil Part 3. Her last physical appearance was in season 2's Goldar's Vice-Versa. She was used in archived footage in The Good, The Bad and the Stupid and the Power Rangers Netflix special, Once & Always. Her fate was revealed in the Boom comic book, Power Rangers: Soul of the Dragon, where Rita betrays her and is banished to the Talos Dimension, where she avoids the Z-Wave and canonically becomes the last Power Rangers villain. Also, I didn't remember Scorpina until I binged all the episodes and the movies last year so.....yeah.

[@foxphantom3960]

Wow, Scorpina had a completely different fate in the Japanese sentai. At the end of Zyurangers, she and Goldar had a baby. So even though they, along with Rita and her other minions, are resealed in the capsule, they all enjoy their time together over the new born baby. (It's worth pointing out that Rita in the Japanese version attached earth because she lost her son. Now she has a baby to entertain.)

[@CHECKthisvid]

22:06 That was from Akibaranger, which is NOT part of the official Super Sentai series, but rather, a tokusatsu series that parodies and is based on the Super Sentai series, still produced by Toei (like the actual Super Sentai series and the Kamen Rider franchise).

[@CGrascal]

Explanation for Serpentera and its lack of battery power. In Dairanger, Serpentera was actually called Daijinryuu and it was not used as a means of evil. It was actually meant to purge the world if it senses too much strife amongst the two warring tribes, the Dai and Goma tribes. In the end, its purposes was balance by any means necessary. Zyuranger (the source of the original Power Rangers) has the concept of the team consisting of five warriors from the era of the dinosaurs frozen in time and would be released if the witch, Bandora (Rita's name in that version), is released from her jar prison. Poisondra is from Dino Charge. I didn't watch Dino Fury or the sentai version, Kyoryuger. But, I do recognize the costume from the Kyoryuger's opening. Candelilla is the character's name in Kyoryuger.

[@DarkSilverHedgehog]

OK I can't be too mad because ya'll admitted multiple times that you tapered off in the show and comics years and years ago but I'm half way through the video and i'm gonna enlighten you folks 1. Dan Southworth is Eric Myers, the Quantum Ranger 2. Austin St. John IS the voice of Jason Lee Scott in this game. 3. Barbara Goodson IS alive as of me writing this comment, it was Rita's japanese actress that passed away.

[@NickonPlanetRipple]

My first exposure to Power Rangers was Lost Galaxy and Lightspeed Rescue, and I REALLY got into it during the Disney Era. For me, the appeal of Power Rangers was how fresh each season was. Every year had its own cast, motifs, and self-contained story with a beginning, middle and end, a formula Sentai keeps using to this day. There's always another surprise around the corner. The more things on the American side harken back to Mighty Morphin era and nostalgia and continuity, I actually get LESS interested. It's just a case of Power Rangers being different things for different people, really.

[@Code7Unltd]

I remember the Lost Galaxy season being ran on the CW during the mid 2010s. It's sort of bizarre that programmers of the former Vortexx would pick a series of Power Rangers that old.

[@buchiklop110]

Eh, the nostalgia pandering can get overdone, but I appreciate what they did in Dino/Cosmic Fury and Once & Always because it actually genuinely had proper continuity and built off plot points from previous seasons. Being completely standalone is fine in Sentai since each show is, more or less, in its own universe, but Power Rangers (aside from RPM and Dino Charge) is in one big shared universe, so it makes no sense that we have 30 different Ranger teams running around and NOTHING from previous seasons get brought up at all, aside from the crossovers.

[@SeelkadoomandJokic00]

The scene Elliott is talking about in 22:00 if from Akibaranger which is a more adult comedy Super Sentai. It's funny as hell y'all should watch.

Tommy has had five different powers in his life: MMPR Green, MMPR White, Zeo Red, Turbo Red, and Dino Thunder Black. A few years ago they actually invented the Master Morpher for him to freely switch between the powers, which he first used in the show in the Super Ninja Steel episode "Dimensions in Danger." As for this game specifically, this game is one of the prime examples of "wringing out money via DLC." The game initially launched with NINE characters. For a 3v3 fighter. While three more were added with a free update, the remaining fighters were put in via five different DLC packs (four for the Rangers, one for Ryu and Chun-Li). The Street Fighter characters were actually an extension of a crossover with the mobile game Power Rangers: Legacy War. In the mobile game, Ryu, Chun-Li, Bison, Cammy, Ken, and Akuma appeared, though only Ryu and Chun-Li actually got Ranger forms. Everyone else was in their default SF2 outfits using their SFV models. Hasbro eventually did make Ranger forms for Cammy & Ken in the Lightning Collection, but they never were brought into the games. As for Sentai vs. Original footage, Season 1 DID have original morphed footage, but they were mostly only the Rangers standing still or in the Command Center. The only fight scene was in the "Return of the Green Ranger" 2-parter. In Season 2, Saban kept the original suits while Japan switched out for Dairanger, so after a handful of episodes reusing leftover stock footage, every ground fight scene was original for Power Rangers until late in Season 3 when the Alien/Aquitian Rangers came around. From Zeo onwards, it's always been a mix of stock and original footage, with it being obvious in the pre-Wild Force seasons due to how bright the original footage. Also, just to note, the show moved filming locations. After Wild Force, they moved from California to New Zealand, where they continued filming until the final season Cosmic Fury last year.

I saw Wild Force, Ninja Storm, Dino Thunder, SPD (my favorite), and a little bit of Mystic Force. The last PR show I watched constantly was Samurai but then just stopped afterwards. I remember watching those shows with my big brother and having pretty fond memories. I even saw the 2017 Power Rangers movie. It was ok with great moments here and there. 🍩 I always knew about this game's existence even seeing Ryu and Chun Li being in it as guest fighters but I never took the time to actually see the gameplay but now seeing it in this video I legit wanna get it for myself cause it looks hype AF.

14:50 the reason why she's in a robot body is because she technically died (aka turned good) at the end of countdown to destruction and so the robot body was done to have her back without going against that ending.

MMPR seasons 2 and 3 only used Sentai footage for the Zords. All three non-giant villain footage (infusing Rita) was original as were the ground fight 😮footage. Though they began to weave Sentai ground footage back in, first with some of the White Ranger scenes (when on his own away from the team) them the ninja suit fights and finally the Alien Rangers. The reason ditched Mighty Morphin' in the first place and went to Zeo was so they could save money and go back to using Sentai footage for most things outside unmorphed scenes.

Anubis Cruger's name is even funnier because in his first moprh scene and battle in the show specifically the JP version he does refer himself as the Guard Dog of Hell

[@bensell982]

It's actually pretty easy to tell what's original footage and what's reused Super Sentai footage in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. The suits noticeably don't fit the American actors as well, so anytime the suits are baggy, it's original footage. It's espionage obvious with Trini because in Super Sentai, the yellow ranger was a guy, which is why the pink suit has a skirt and yellow doesn't. Another obvious tell is the green ranger. In Super Sentai, the green ranger's shoulder pads were either damaged or weren't sent (I've seen both claims and am uncertain which correct), so the power rangers team created this really cheap looking foam substitute. So, if the green ranger is wearing the good-looking hard rubber shoulder pads, it's Super Sentai footage. If the green ranger is wearing the cheap foam shoulder pads, it's original footage.

Too bad Wes from Time Force is not in this game. He's one of my favorite red rangers. Well, at least we still got Eric and Jen in this game, so at least I'm still happy about that, since I love Time Force. It's a shame that she's not voice by her actual actor.

[@ryanmckenna7660]

My Power Rangers experience is from Mighty Morphin to Jungle Fury with Wild Force being my favorite series

[@Firetrigger2110]

...hmmm a Hasbro property? Transformers: War for Cybertron playthrough when?

[@Da_ComputerMonster]

Even though its from the sequel, the Hardest line ever still is; *"NO ONE!...CONTROLS!!...GRIMLOCK!!!"*

[@kahrahnoel814]

My experience with Power Rangers is with not only the TV series, but I also own the three Power Rangers movies in my collection.

[@Light-Rock97]

I started with Dino Thunder and by the time SPD came around I was already growing out of it. I can still watch Dino Thunder thought, the power of nostalgia, but when I tried to check some of the other ones I got a little second hand embarrassment.

[@gaaraofthefunk2011]

Now im the one with muscles and the power

[@sonicfan2403]

So I do know Barbara Goodson is still alive, but she didn't voice Rita in this. Instead they got another well known Anime actress, Carrie Keranen.

[@wiiknight678]

As a massive power rangers fans it’s awesome to see sgb play this game it’s a shame this game died

[@gallantmon4]

18:20 Hey look, its Vergil vs Vergil.

[@montywh]

on the subject of where we started, i also started with original Mighty Morphin'. then watched it all the way up to Lost Galaxy, i think. after that, i think i lost interest for the most part, but popped back in once in a while to see where the series was going. i saw a handful of SPD episodes, then Ninja Storm, then got hooked on Dino Thunder just because they brought Tommy back as a mentor, and eventual Black Ranger

[@rustycookiepekka6875]

28:40 Idk you were saying that she wasnt in MM BECAUSE you dont remember Scorpina being there.

[@ShadowWolfRising]

I really wish we'd get a Power Ranger with wholly original footage and a budget.

[@rambofan334]

It's such a shame this game is no longer being supported, I'd love for Beast Morphers and Dino/Cosmic Fury to get represented in this game.

[@donkeykong75m]

Being fair about the Quantum ranger who is virgil. In series the Quantum ranger is another Red ranger but with black accents and a slightly different visor. it still throws me off at a glance to this day.

[@Seadragon77]

The MvC influence is well pronounced in this game - famed FGC player Justin Wong helped in the creation of the game.

[@aionicthunder]

20:06 Alien. Alien dog. That's definitely a dog species

[@OathKeeperRiku07]

26:08 Lost Galaxy, the start of the Pre Zordon era but before the Disney era

[@louievelayo4100]

You mean post Zordon, he "died" in In Space.

[@crazedlink]

In ZyuRanger, Scorpina and Golddar had a kid

[@analogskullerosis5056]

My journey with the series is that I've seen every iteration from Mighty Morphin' through Time Force and that's really where the bulk of my knowledge stops. I was the right age for the teams that followed Mighty Morphin' and Zeo. In terms of Sentai that I've watched, Timeranger (Time Force) remains my favorite. In terms of Power Rangers, I have a soft spot in my heart for the second half of Turbo (it was a better series when it allowed itself to get goofy and silly with it) and Lost Galaxy remains a favorite for me. I re-watched Lightspeed Rescue for the first time in years a few months ago and it ended up being a series I really enjoyed. I've never read the comics, but I've heard good things about them and feel like I should give them a shot sometime! I just recently found out that there's an arcade-style Power Rangers beat-em-up called Rita's Rewind that's coming out later this year. It looks like it's gonna try doing what Shredder's Revenge did for the TMNT. I think it looks pretty good and this was a fun surprise to see since I had that on the brain.

[@flyingfist4203]

24:05 What a clip XD

[@theblindswordsmanDS]

Well my god Elliot is a power ranger in secret.

[@PKSunset]

Rita's VA is alive. The live action actress passed.

[@JustJuan731]

Seeing this it really does suck that Power Rangers is stuck in indefinite limbo under Hasbro. There was supposed to be a Netflix reboot after the American series finally ended with Cosmic Fury, but we haven’t heard a single thing from that show.

[@analystduelist571]

Oh man, this game has been on my radar for awhile, but I've just never gotten around to it. As for first experience with Power Rangers, I jumped in at the beginning with Mighty Morphin', but I tapped out after Turbo, not long after the Turbo movie. I have seen a few things from the comics lately though.

[@darienb1127]

So from what I remember, this game is now unsupported because the publisher wanted them to put microtransactions in, the devs said fuck that, and the game got shut down. It's unfortunate, but i'm glad they went out on their own terms.

[@AnAverageGoblin]

they're also NFT bro scam artists lmao.

[@CrankshaftRabbit9164]

...If I'm not mistaken, Scorpina was supposed to be Goldar's wife. And yes, she was in the original Mighty Morphin show because she only ever appeared in the Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger series.

[@Cartoonguy133]

Yeah, in Zyuranger, they were a couple and even had a baby together.

[@CGrascal]

@@Cartoonguy133 Complete with Bandora switching into "Gonna spoil my grandchild" grandma mode.

8:23 Venjix ended the world. At that's the premise for RPM

[@DirectorOfChaos9292]

No. The scientist lady(forgot her name) accidentally created Venjix and it got loose before she could destroy it

[@aionicthunder]

@@DirectorOfChaos9292 Johnny was talking about villain's first impressions. The first thing we find about Venjix is that it ended the world. A few things I wanna clarify, though: She didn't accidentally create Venjix, she did so intentionally (either at Alphabet Soup's request or on her own), released the virus into Alphabet Soup's network and they stopped her before she could install a firewall that would prevent Venjix from escaping to the outside world. The last is that Doctor K also forgot her name, so you're forgiven for doing the same

[@TheMDAxDJK]

It's actually nice to watch gameplay of people playing and it's not the usual TOD combos that plague this games "high level" content. Everyone has their thing, I just think TOD makes this game unwatchable.

[@jinx1987]

Ryu from street fighter? I didn’t know you worked here.

[@louievelayo4100]

I don't, but that proposal is definitely due on Monday. Ah classic.

[@tracyndiyob162]

6:40 more sentai should bluntly do that.(love ryu/chun li in this & if we got more capcom in power rangers love to see megaman,morrigan,devil may cry for voice actor jokes & sakura/ken/dan.:3) i started power rangers on fox kids(basically most of the time watching it at the end to get to digimon but really enjoyed it quickly for rita especially retroactively finding out she was voiced by laharl from disgaea.) & started watching fully at s.p.d/the movie(completely for ivan ooze being"what if freddy kreuger was in power rangers".) and a few other early series.

[@NaiblistheCurious1]

Still going to rep Granblue Fantasy Vs Rising each Sunday. It's got a free version with a limited roster if you don't want to buy the full game. You don't need to know the original game to play it. It's by Arc System Works.

[@CHECKthisvid]

THE GENRE IS CALLED TOKUSATSU (meaning special effects), NOT SENTAI-LIKE
