Saturday Morning Scrublords: Evil Zone

[@erwin21381]

The Evil Zone. You get there by taking a right turn at the Danger Zone, passing next to the Twilight Zone and going around the Negative Zone. Easy.

[@lvl5Vaporeon]

Don't go too far, you may up in the Dead Zone. I heard some guy got trapped in there for a while.

[@erwin21381]

lvl5Vaporeon Man, that place is a war zone.

[@VoltageXXII]

The puns in this thread are starting to push me out of my comfort zone.

[@InsulinRunner]

Voltzahl Something something something friend zone...

[@Zagstrak]

If you pass the Woolie Hole then you've gone to far, and likely can never return. Nothing escapes the Woolie Hole...

[@MonochromeGuardian]

Imagine Smash Bros, where every stage is Final Destination and the only move anyone can do is Captain Falcon's Final Smash.

[@BroomPusher2024]

That, and it controls like your controllers coated in cake batter.

[@OMGmyFACE]

17:11 "A hot person that kisses badly." Yeah. I had Evil Zone and that right there is the _perfect_ analogy for it.

[@hawkrose]

Evil Zone is like if a company wanted to make a fighting game, spent hundreds of hours working on all the characters, style, animation, etc, and then, 2 days before the deadline, they realized they hadn't actually made the game yet. I want to like it so bad, and I do, kind of, for everything except the actual game

[@TrismegistusMx]

5 minutes of shitting on the one button combat system followed by 5 minutes of explaining the complexity of the fighting system.

[@crazyinsane500]

Evil Zone: As created by Zone, featuring Zone, taking place in a Zone with the music styling of Danger Zone. Also, Woolie can't get lice. His dreads are immune to parasites.

[@ThatWeirdGuyFromWork]

I WISH.

[@Bapper0]

Lice can only eat such salty flesh for so long, compounded with the fact that his dreads get washed only every 2 weeks means that, they'd die of dehydration in days.

[@ohmphelgm]

His dreads are parasites. It's why he steals so many pies. He has to make up the lost nutrition.

[@crazyinsane500]

ohmphelgm So that is how he tortures animals. We're on to you, Woolie!

[@slifer875]

but his mitochondrias will awaken bringing the woolie hole

[@GaijinD]

Not that this will affect your opinion of the game (I have a soft spot for it, but even I admit it's style over substance), but you can totally jump. It's up, up+square. Jumping attack is up, up+triangle. There's not really any reason to do it, but it's in there. Also, tapping triangle a few times gets you an alternate version of your four specials with different properties. Mostly it's just stuff like alternate angles, but Keiya's red pentagram basically breaks the game. When it hits (which isn't hard, since it's fairly fast and goes under other projectiles), it instantly gives you a super crystal. Oh, and both versions hit downed opponents. Speaking of the crystals, aside from using it for supers, you can also burn one to do an unblockable attack. I'm not sure if it's the same attack for everyone, but they all have a move that can be powered up by holding the button. So I guess what I'm saying is even if they failed, they did try. There are moves for countering sidesteps and you can deflect projectiles and so on. The problem is you don't have to do most of it. That's the real reason I wanted an Evil Zone 2. So Yuke's could take another shot at it and come up with gameplay that matched the presentation.

[@cranberry_the_xviii9458]

Having to input a command in a fighting game to jump is most definitely poor game design lmao

[@GaijinD]

@@cranberry_the_xviii9458 I didn't say it was done well, just that it was actually in the game. They definitely tried to cram too many things into just two buttons, which kind of defeated their intention of keeping things simple. Not sure why you felt the need to respond to this seven years later, though.

[@cranberry_the_xviii9458]

@@GaijinD To be fair, they said there's no jump button... they never specifically said you couldn't jump and then I read from your comment that you could do it via command and I was just saying it's bad not that you're in the wrong for giving this information. I don't think I've ever seen a fighting game where jumping was a command lmao (oh and to answer your last bit there, I've been a fan for a long time and constantly go back to these videos, I read this comment section for the first time today though lol)

[@GaijinD]

@@cranberry_the_xviii9458 Did they? I remember them complaining about not being able to jump, but I can't say I've watched it recently. Of course, I wouldn't blame anyone for thinking you couldn't, as I'm pretty sure the only reason I know is because I read the manual.

[@madelinewoof7544]

It's always during Scrublords and Fisticuffs that I wonder if Liam picks up the archetype of the loli anime girl character because he genuinely enjoy them or just to live up to his character.

[@addamp123]

0:18 I just realized that that wasn't Pat acting. That was just his daily struggle of getting onto a human couch. With those babby stumps he calls legs, its no wonder he stocks his apartment with dog beds and carnival mirrors that make him look tall. The plight of Pat is an arduous one, known by few, but palpably bleak to all. I guess I shouldn't feel too bad though, seeing as how they actually *let* him on the furniture now. Too bad he's dying though.

[@unimpressedCalico]

I know I'm super, super late to point this out, but when Pat says rock stars should die somewhere in between the ages at which Hendrix and Cobain died, they both died at 27, and it's so common in popular musicians that the 27 Club has reached conspiracy theory-levels of coincidence.

[@TheSaltyRice]

Evil Zone = Woolie Hole?

[@WastedPotential17]

The Evil Zone is the small demilitarized zone inside of the Woolie Hole where magical girls cry and await rescue by a shonen protagonist. Unfortunately, that protagonist is Asuka Soryuu Langley.

[@slifer875]

woolie the liar strike's again...

[@AirYosukekun]

No Evil Zone is what created the Woolie Hole. The Hole is the crater where the game first touched down.

[@ivanpabon2741]

This is one of my favorite games of all time

[@MiaowGaiGar]

I love how Paul Eiding keeps getting dragged into conversations about this game. Truly, his most iconic role.

[@jaceklipinski276]

I really liked this game as a kid and so did most of my friends. The action was fast, style and animation were fun and the fighting system was really easy to learn. I may look at it through nostalgia gogles, but still - many fond memories with this title.

[@MotivatedMexican]

Lol that enraged "you forgot the cookies?!" In the intro is always the best part in Saturday Morning Scrublords

[@bayonetta5883]

WELCOME TO THE *_EVIL ZONE._*

[@nazenaze5887]

_Just like Kenny Loggins woulda' done._

[@EpitaphxOfxGungnir]

_Get your shit and get out. We've got enough young, white adults desecrating holy grounds and getting possessed by evil spirits._

[@nazenaze5887]

Epitaph of Gungnir​ That's a rather fitting thing to say to Bayonetta.

[@Lifetimes09]

Hey bayonetta when's the Devil May Cry cross over happening?

[@nazenaze5887]

CoolSidez 94 Ken the Woolie stealer.

The wacky adventure of the Colonel before he met Snake.

[@ultramanzeta2997]

I used to own this game in Ps1

[@UzumakiheroGaming]

Evil Zone? The legendary fighter that brought friendships together? Let's go!

[@VideoGamesViewed]

It's a shame they didn't use Gally (Guts) for the story mode. Probably the funniest in the game.

[@stevemcquark]

I've never seen a LP constantly jump between totally shitting all over a game to exploding all over the place in hype.

[@chaffXgrenade]

I hit the "Like" button as soon as the video started 'cause I *know* there's good times ahead when there's both Evil Zone *and* the Best Friends involved.

[@FoxyVision]

I played this ONCE as a kid in Miami. some random school kid had it. wtf this game is like a nightmare fever dream in my memory. never saw it again anywhere until today.

[@Mundane05]

Evil Zone's intro looks like one of the Viper games. I sure as hell hope nobody gets my meaning.

[@yarution367]

I do.

[@Mundane05]

My secret is out. This will kill my rep.

[@yarution367]

Mundane05 It's ok I'm a coward to.

[@AfroMetalMizu]

Mundane05 More like it'll boost your rep. At least with me since I got your meaning too.

[@RafflesiaAr]

Mundane05 Dude your rep is through the roof right now. Viper is good shit.

[@BelieMyBurial]

When Pat was talking about Black Metal i'm not sure if he was aware of the fact that there was a Black Metal band where one of the members killed himself and the next album cover was a photo of his body the other band member took upon finding his corpse. (fair warning: don't look this shit up, you might lose your breakfast) Anyway, i want to hear Pat talk about Black Metal more often. Now, there's a sentence i never thought i would write.

[@BelieMyBurial]

Mayhem was fucking weird, the fact that they're still around is even weirder somehow.

[@DotsHouseofShenanigans]

I remember when Paul Eiding saw the Retsupurae of Evil Zone with his character. *Paul-senpai, please notice these scrublords.*

[@Tamacat388]

Oh yeah next Sile----oh it's Friday....oh. (Me every Friday night)

[@mohawklogan]

damian x For me I always expected it to be friday night fisticuffs. until silent hill happend. Now I just wish every video was silent hill (except for parasite eve that is also mad hype)

[@NeverBeenElsewhere]

MohawkLogan i like super Mario rpg and I hope they do paper Mario next

[@evidencedotzip]

My version of this is: >Me, alone, wasted >"Woo, more Zaibatsu videos!" >Friday >"WOO FISTICUFFS FUCKERS!" >Saturday Morning Scrublords....

[@SataruYamate]

fisticuffs is the shit, scrublords is hilarious, i dont see the problem in having to wait one day for a video

[@EpitaphxOfxGungnir]

We need Street Fighter 5 to adapt this one-button system for fighting. Nay, a stick-only system that the one that 720s faster than his opponent is the true champ. Played in only the most Underground, Hypest of stadiums. Where the loser gets a finger chopped off, and every year they take another until you've learned your limits and given up. The winner becomes the representative of humanity who must fight off against a being that comes from the *Evil Zone*. If you win, you obtain a wish, and if you lose then you must submit your soul and the souls of all your loved ones to this otherworldly being. Make it happen.

[@moopersworthninjason42nd81]

Well it may not be an evo contender but at least its a rule 34 contender

[@moopersworthninjason42nd81]

God dam it....even there its disappointing quality

[@StarlessSouls]

Vriuox Alacon Yea that was disappointing.

[@PrimeTF]

This is like one of those games where people only like it for things that have nothing to do with the gameplay. Like when Jojo ASB first came out, the scene was crowded by people who haven't touched video games, period, that are swooning over how the game looks. To quote the video "When I played Fist of the North Star, my first thought wasn't 'Look at how cool this is, Kenshiro does the thing!', my first thought was 'Wow, this game is fun!', where as the first thing I thought when I played Jojo was 'I can't believe how fucking slow this game is.'"

[@MrSuperobiwan]

WHY ISNT THERE A DIVEKICK CHARACTER THATS JUST A GUY IN T POSE?!

[@SUPERIANMAN]

Maybe it's because this is one of those games that is more fun to watch other people play than to actually play yourself, but this doesn't seem like the ABSOLUTE worst fighting game. That being said, I kinda do wish they would make a sequel to this game if for no other reason than to see Pat and Woolie shrivel up due to the massive amounts of salt they accumulate.

[@SyberiaWinx]

I'd disagree. I enjoyed playing this game. I've always loved fighting games, but had trouble doing all those fancy combos featured in most of them. Here, it's really easy to learn and do all the moves, and they are all actually pretty neat.

[@SyberiaWinx]

FrogWaifu That's so stupid. Who are you or anyone else to tell people what fighting games they can and can not like?

[@SataruYamate]

i wouldnt say sequel, maybe save the ip like the zaibatsu said, dont turn it into an actual fighter though cause itll lose its charm, give it, light, mediums and heavys is all

[@SyberiaWinx]

SataruYamate Doubt a sequel would really work, given how the game concludes.

[@SataruYamate]

SyberiaWinx like i said, not a sequel, a remaster or something

[@CappuccinoGuil]

Silly Pat, Evil Zone is not the worst fighting game ever. Evil Zone WISHES it was the worst fighting game, because that means it could at least call itself a fighting game. Poor Evil Zone doesn't even get that credit

[@Rukunetsu]

My game. I can't believe you played my game.

[@Rukunetsu]

+Collin Smith : ) yo

[@VegaArchAngel]

I don't think they know of the Mayhem album that actually does have a picture of a dead band member on the cover.

[@TheYellowSignal]

My cousins and I played this game every weekend until we got so good, we could beat it with every character on all difficulties. It's so much fun when you get the mechanics down.

[@SwagbitoUchiha]

Saturday Morning Scrublords on a Friday Afternoon? It's not even that late. Pat, you fucked up, lol

[@mohawklogan]

It's 9:30 PM here (share the same time zone as TBF)

[@SwagbitoUchiha]

MohawkLogan I know. I'm just one hour over, at 8:30. This is really fuckin' early for a Scrublords, even for them. Usually it's maybe an hour off. This is so damn early XD

[@mohawklogan]

Swagbito Uchiha Are you sure? I've noticed it's always up around 8:30. Seems more like they are late.

[@KurstKensei]

its 7:32 over here

[@mohawklogan]

Kaiden Krueger uh... okay.

[@VIeshPilled]

I'm with Matt, this isn't the worst fighting game ever made... I think, even if it's at broken and boring as Pat says, the pure originality of it is enough to make it better than a lot of shit fighting games I've seen... It does an original playstyle well enough to make it an average game, in my opinion... Pat is kind of right though, while I don't 'love' Evil Zone', when I was young and this was new, I had a crap ton of fun with it and I am not a fan of fighting games... A shit ton better than Psychic Force they also mentioned

[@Chadius]

ɥsǝlʌ There are a lot of worse SNES / Genesis / PS1 fighting games I can think of. Evil Zone is no where close to the worst.

[@RobotEthanMars]

It's the worst Pat and Woolie ever looked at and decided at a glance that it could be worth playing. Ergo, it's far from the worst.

[@EdgeO419]

yeah Battle Arena Toshiden, Shag fu, TMNT Tournament Fighter (GEN) , Buchigire Kongou are ALL much worse games

[@TortureWorld]

LMAO woolie at 19:15 is totally referencing the album cover for Mayhem's "Dawn Of The Black Hearts"! the cover was a photograph one of the members took of their frontman like literally only hours after he had shot himself in the head with a shotgun. Brutal as hell.

[@Vokoca]

This intro never gets old.

[@Gojiro7]

my gateway drug to anime pervyness was G-Gundam, the scenes of Rain suiting up changed me forever XD

[@Charredasperity]

Paul Eiding's best role ever

[@GrimsinMingzhi]

Saturday morning scrublords uploaded on my birthday? This is more than I could ever ask for

[@Lordderp45]

I would totally be interested In a remake, with the same concept, each character having their own show and such, maybe add some more depth and such or just make it an action game and not a fighter, but still have the ability to choose from about 10 to 15 characters, and each with their own OVA which tells their story before the game started would be super cool.

[@TheReflexWonderful]

As a fighting game system, it actually does an alright job if you don't mind having two buttons doing everything. The comparison to Smash Brothers is actually not terrible, with there being an Attack button (which is also responsible for throws) and a Special button. I say this as someone who finds most of the game's personality more than a little painful (and is a guilty pleasure, but, whatever). Something being glossed over is the fact that each character's three special moves also have a second variation (by double-tapping or holding Special) that adds depth to their use. That's why Danzaiver's Lightning Strike never hit in this video; they were constantly using the version that beats sidesteps but doesn't hit standing opponents. Of course there's some overlap, but you can absolutely say the same for specials in Smash. The fact that you can grab from any distance but only the close grab has low start-up is a nice touch, as is the parry mechanic that lets you start something or reflect projectiles. You can do single attacks out of dashes as a bait but they have a lot of commitment. There's always something you can be doing to threaten the opponent at any distance, and there's a lot more to the game than what's being suggested.

[@chakatBombshell]

God they need to play MK Armageddon so we can see them make Zubaz and Rage in create a fighter.

[@5DisAsterz]

The Best Friends. Always proceeding to give me what I need and what I deserve: *Evil Zone*

[@ItsTheFizz]

MK Armageddon definitely deserves to be on a future Saturday Morning Scrublords... ...as does Cardinal Syn

[@tubbymanification]

Pat's alleged Timer Death Clock when playing bad games makes me want one thing in particular when it comes to Scrublords: Remember during Pat and Woolie's Bizarre Adventure, and as the video went on, you'd see their heads progressively deteriorate? We need this for Scrublords. We *_DESERVE_* it.Plus, they don't need to constantly announce who's fighting who! It's just a simple switch out the heads to the bottom of the screen, or just have them highlighted.

[@CaptnMarvelous]

I got the fix for you guys: Evil Zone, produced by Platinum Games

[@theoneandonlymichaelmccormick]

Captain Marvelous Evil Zone, produces by Quantic Dream.

[@MajesticSiN]

Me and my friends used to play this a lot back when it came out.

[@PrimeTF]

Holy shit, this game got the lowest score on GameFAQs

[@TheLoneGamr]

The Scrublords intro always makes me chuckle. It is exactly the way I feel Saturday morning, since I work nights.

[@barraki92reborn]

Honestly, I've kind of got to come to Evil Zone's defense on this one. It's one of the few times I've disagreed with the Zaibatsu cast, but I'll stand firm on it. The art style and feel of the game are very enjoyable, and the contrast of designs between all the different characters looks really great, as the Zaibatsu mentions. The Saturday Morning Anime introductions were also unique, and the cheesy voice acting actually helps the game more than it hurts. The animation and Supers are fluid, and are pleasing to the eye. As for the game's mechanics itself, I'm a bit divided on it. Unlike fighting games like Street Fighter, Soul Calibur or Super Smash Brothers here, there's very little variety to the game other than it's story mode. You can get like two additional costumes for each character, but that's about it; it's very basic, very minimal at best. The gameplay itself is pretty much as describe, it's just a few buttons with very little strategy (again, as opposed to Smash or Street Fighter) taking place in the actual experience. That said, here's why my opinion with the game is divided; because I usually suck at fighting games. I consider myself a good (but not stellar) player at Super Smash, Killer Instinct and Soul Calibur, but very little else can I hold any ground in. I'm just barely passable in Mortal Kombat, I blow at Street Fighter, Tekken, Persona Arena, Blazblue, etc. I'm not even good at MVC3. Evil Zone (along with SS, KI, and SC) is just one of the few fighting games I'm good at. Plus, at least I can get the ability to recover in Evil Zone and not be countered into infinity like I would with MVC3 with one tiny mistake. I'm better with the combo system in Evil Zone, and it's not something that takes a crap load of practice for me to learn; it's easy and dependable, like Super Smash, but (again), with a lot less variety to it. So to rap it up, is this the absolute WORST fighting game out there like Pat makes it out to be? No, there are far worse games out there in terms of that genre, like Kabuki Warriors, Tao Feng: Fist of the Lotus, or worst of all, Shaq Fu. Evil Zone isn't really a great fighting game, it's just a decent one. There's a lot of unfortunate wasted potential with it, but at least it's fun and controls easy. Sometimes I don't want a fighting game that has me getting combo-ed infinitely, there are times where I just want to relax and beat something up without worrying about specifics. I think it joins fighting games like Mace: The Dark Age, Bio Warriors, Flying Dragon and War Gods honestly; they're not the best or most intricate fighters, but they are fun to play. I dunno, is that all just me? Have I lost my talent to be flippant and desirable?

[@lonewolffang]

I know this is 3 years late of a response, but you hit it right on the head especially Tao fang. I never finished that piece of shit.

[@RKNELIAS]

Matt Unironically loves Limp Bizkit and hates on Linkin Park like it´s the fucking St.Anger. WHAT THE FUCK.

[@Kindren]

I hate so much at how right Woolie and Pat are in this regard. The characters and style of this game have so much charm, and just watching it play make it look pretty interesting, but when you actually pick up the controller and play it yourself it all changes. I'm not gonna say it is the worst fighter ever, because I've seen some shit, but it is definitely very bad. More than anything it was disappointing, because there were so many things they did right in this game, but you will never see any of it because the game play itself was so detrimental.

[@TheRichardSilver]

I think this game is actually really charming.. The animations are stylish, the whole personality of it is adorable.. I think it's great for 30min-1h bursts.. I mean it may not be a technically 'good' fighting game, but it has it's charm.

[@JasynSuin]

Black metal fact: the band Mayhem is basically the band you're talking about. Among other things, they'd use impaled pig or sheep's heads as props, and one of their vocalists (Per Yngve Ohlin, aka Dead) would cut himself onstage with broken glass and hunting knives. He later committed suicide by slitting his wrists and throat with a knife, then shot himself in the head with a shotgun. One of their guitarists who went by the name Euronymous took pictures of his corpse, and even used one as the cover for one of their bootleg albums. Later, Euronymous was stabbed to death by the band's bassist, a guy by the name of Varg Vikernes, aka Count Grishnackh. Euronymous was stabbed 23 times: two in the head, five in the neck, and sixteen in the back. Vikernes went to prison for fifteen years after unsuccessfully trying to claim self-defense; he smiled when the verdict was read. He's currently living in France under the name Louis Cachet, where he continues to espouse neo-Nazi, white supremacy, and survivalist bullshit.

[@redquoter]

This looks like 90s-anime-the-fighter in a good way

[@ralphsalibi9630]

I remember playing this game when I was wearing the short pants a long time ago. I always used Midori. Fuck man, despite all the flaws, I love game. Thanks guys, for bringing me back my childhood. Quality stuff, quality stuff.

[@aceofhearts573]

Thia game is amazing. I love Evil Zone

[@ToastedKitten]

Shut up, I fucking LOVE Evil Zone. And that's all I have to say.

[@xaviertyler3537]

for Pat to say that people who like this game don't like fighting games is kinda fucked up. this is some people's first game. it was my first game, and I love fighting games.

[@PrimeTF]

+Xavier Tyler This is a beginners fighting game. With the way that it's set up, it will make you see, that this game is gear towards those that have no fighting game experience. The control is mindlessly simple, and everything else shows, that it's almost a kids game. The moves, the sound...all of it. This game doesn't deserve a rental...it doesn't even deserve to exist. If you see it in the video store, don't bother wasting your money on renting it for the weekend...it doesn't have any depth, and doesn't have any true purpose but to take up room while they wait for something better to come along...

[@daysand123]

I remember playing this game a lot in those old days, Me and my brother played it for hours. I still have the game in its baby PlayStation CD case

[@joedatius]

why put the heath bars on the side? what do you gain by putting them in the way of the players who spend a lot of their time on the sides of the screen

[@brokentechnika783]

Its edgy

[@boheyo]

I'd argue the screen is wider than it is tall even in 4:3 but then this game has no jump button so it's not like it's using any vertical space anyway.

[@joedatius]

yeah It would make more sense if if this emphasised air combat or something like that but no.

[@AlrauneDollmind]

That bit about Tenchi Muyo and hentai really hit home. Thinking back I might actually have to agree; it's not even a show I watched hardly at all, but I remember the times I did sit down and watch an episode, I always felt really enticed when it was over and could never understand why. I'd go to sleep re-watching the scenes from the show in my head over and over...

[@mrjohnnyjohnster3940]

I think it's time someone pitched the idea for a "Super Best Friends Zaibatsu" sitcom -- the new show about nothing. I can even hear the opening jingle now... Four best friends, they all like games, Except David Cage's, cause they're so lame. Matt loves America, although he's Canadian. Pat is a Ginger, who can't stop ragin'. Woolie is black, and can't wait 'till Mahvel. And Liam buys waifu pillows... by the car-full. Hey hey, best friends play, laugh, and swear, So stay a while, play a while, pull up a chair. IT'S SUPER BEST FRIENDS ZAIBAT-SU!

[@seanholmes3784]

I don't care what anyone says I love this game childhood fav

[@Pyrocore77]

For a Playstation 1 game, this doesn't seem bad at all. Not all of us want a fighting game with fifty-something inputs and combo-counter-double-extra-break-unlimited-nonsense.

[@SyberiaWinx]

Exactly.

[@Hotmanlion12]

You know, a lot of fighting games look good until you actually play them. If you like a fighting game with only one button and characters that barely have any difference between each other and has no depth whatsoever, then you'll like Evil Zone. True, not every fighting game needs to be super complex, but they do need to have depth.

[@SyberiaWinx]

Hotmanlion12 I have played it, and I liked it. To me, the game is about the story and the characters themselves. I enjoyed the characters different moves. There are a lot of fighting games were the characters have their own tackles, guards, special attacks, projectile attacks, and so forth.

[@SyberiaWinx]

FrogWaifu Again, who are you to tell people how to enjoy fighting games? If I want to admire the style or enjoy the story or even just the music, that's my right. Your elitist attitude is terrible.

[@SyberiaWinx]

FrogWaifu You know what makes a fighting game? Fighting. And a collection of selectable characters to do said fighting. This IS a fighting game, whether you like it or not.

[@CrashStarGaming]

Somebody call Slowbeef, and tell him to get Paul Eiding in on this

[@WaddleDee105]

Real question: Has Titus EVER made a good game? Have they EVEr made a game that at least wasn't utter trash?

[@selcomad]

FINALLY, I HAVE WAITED FOR LIKE 2-3 YEARS!!!!!!!! another thing that goes off my list

[@blackjet2000]

TIME TO FILL SALT IN YOUR THROAT SALT ZONE WHAT YOU WISHED FOR

[@Dat1MangaGuy]

Personally I kinda want this to be a actual show. Also if this was 2D and made by Arc-Systems I think this would have been amazing. I love anime fighters so we can dream.

[@GabrielFarrell90]

This is my favourite fighting game of all time I still play it religiously with a friend! I enjoy this way more then most modern fighting games simply because it's easy and fun. Why does a fighting game have to be complicated in order to achieve some form of greatness? It's simple, fun and to the point. This was back when you played games with your friends in your room and beating the hard A.I was enough of a challenge and you didn't have to spend hours learning meta and practicing combos in order to stay on ladder. This game has great music, characters, it's fun, fast and to the point I personally believe there is a bigger element of psy play because of it's simplicity the fact anyone can learn this easily meana there are loads of opportunities for reactive gameplay which the excitement of most fighting games anyway without the need to study it. Plus you remember everything about it because it's simple and everyone can enjoy it without spending loads of time trying to remember ridiculous combos (casuals) and not be able to pull off those awesome moves because they are too much of a pain to remember then execute. I do agree though that the simplicity separates them from advanced fighting games like Street Fighter but playing most fighting games at a high level takes a lot of dedication, however with this you don't need that. Personally I cannot wait to see a sequel. Also your referring to Dead from Mayhem (Nor) who shot himself in the head with a shotgun due and when his body was discovered by Mayhem's guitarist, Euronymous (Øystein Aarseth) the first thing he did was take a photo of it which was their next album cover. Anyway yeah, rant over. Hail Satan :D

[@martinfnortman6805]

Evil zone is about technique, not complexity

[@oyoyoyo7624]

after reading that this game •IS• good if you know all the controls, i want to try it out. Can you explain what’s meant by “technique”? thanks

[@EeveeEsp]

Evil Zone is awesome.

[@SyberiaWinx]

It had a lot of Ambition for its time, too.

[@Wartooth91]

YES, I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS DAY SINCE YOU GUYS GOT A COPY IN THE MAILBAG!!!!!!! GLORIOUS DAY

[@gaminggoddess85]

Count me as one of the people who love this game. Also Woolie, you can totally jump - you press up up triangle or up up square. Oh yeah, and there _was_ a planned sequel for this. I saw an article about it in an old gaming magazine, but I guess Yuke's changed their minds on making it. I was legit sad.

[@JeedyJay]

This really just looks like the kind of fighting game that you can't play like any other fighting game - like, it's *super* idiosyncratic in how it must be approached.

[@kevindaydreamer]

Why is sad Woolie face one of the cutest things that can ever be brought out of this whole venture?

[@pyropoyo]

As opposed to the usual hour, this fight game video is only half an hour. I'm going in expecting the worst if they could only handle half an hour of it.

[@ghostfear2011]

I'll tell you. It controls really badly. It looks pretty for it's era but in the technical department it's awful.

[@pyropoyo]

The second I saw Titus as a developer, the minds behind Superman 64, I knew this game was doomed, bouncing tits and all.

[@ghostfear2011]

All style, no substance.

[@MouseThatsModest]

Hi Marth Koopa, I on behalf of CE would like to congratulate you on your new found fame.

[@Lurdiak]

I'd rather have bad gameplay and good personality than the opposite (Virtua Fighter) I've played this game, it isn't good, but the Zaibatsu is doing a really bad job explaining why. It comes down to them really caring about high level play systems 95% of players don't give a shit about. It's like those guys who have strong opinions about which tires to use on your car. They just sound insane to regular people.

[@madelinewoof7544]

The complaint is legit, as good and cool these animations look and are, pressing the same button over and over again just isn't fun.

[@Tamacat388]

"regular people" you mean you filthy casuals? /s

[@Lurdiak]

Francis Farterburger Like Smash Brothers? :P

[@Tamacat388]

Lurdiak No, not like Smash. Smash has three buttons and you can jump. And it has a bunch of different characters who are insanely different from one another barring a few clone characters.

[@Lurdiak]

Thanatos388 This is what I mean by them not doing a great job explaining it.

[@timmer919hep]

The way the comments are going...you'd almost expect Kenny to be in this game...

[@JechtMurray]

So basically this game is great, is what I got from this.

[@ChanceCorbittLTTPG]

Yes! I just thought this game up earlier this week! I was one of the few people to love this game lol

[@TheThreeCow]

... I actually know someone who defends both Evil Zone and St. Anger

[@HalfTimeLazer]

As soon as I saw that this was made by Titus, I thought to myself, "SUPERMAN 64!?" This game, man. This game.

[@FLAMINGBABYPUNCH]

When Castlevania Judgment?

[@AlonzoTompkins]

Oh look a game worse then Evil Zone.

[@JeedyJay]

They may have already done it, just not on Scrublords.

[@thesacredbeast2000]

Alonzo Tompkins i wouldn't say worse than evil zone, at least the characters have different moves. i would rather have wildly unbalanced different characters than 1 character 10 times

[@AlonzoTompkins]

I prefer the characters in Evil Zone.

[@MrFallout3man]

Fuck that whens PEGGLE!

[@gareckthetailor9918]

can't be more simple than most modern fighting games.

[@Noponis]

I thought you guys were silly for putting that thing in the description, but holy shit, what is wrong with people? This defense force is beyond the point where you can argue with them. I see people thinking this is the same as smash 64 in depth...jesus

[@superorochimaru89]

Well guys, you have finally destroyed the last happy memory of my childhood. Bravo!

[@krazylemon]

I'll always take a charming game with flaws, over a boring game that caters to wanna be elites.

[@Flackon]

Man they are doing a terrible job of convincing us that this game is bad.

[@3417gekkou]

Ayo whens karnov

[@NickiRusin]

OOOOH SHIT WHEN'S KARNOV

[@RedNousz]

OH GOD, NO

[@GuntanksInSpace]

This. This fucking needs to happen. May the balloons rain down on the Zaibatsu.

[@NickiRusin]

Reno Awesomer OH GOD YES

[@ShiftyAxel]

That intro cracks me up every time. Such precision goofing.

[@phoenixsplash135]

So this game is basically the recent Jojo fighting game? Lots of style, very little substance, with legions of fans that don't understand why it's bad.

[@ghostfear2011]

Pretty much. It looks really good, but it plays awful. It's one of those games.

[@Ultimaniacx4]

I don't think not understanding is what it is. It's not caring. "I'm having fun so who cares what some elitist fgc snob says?"

[@joedatius]

the jojo fighter plays massively better then this

[@phoenixsplash135]

joedatius You misunderstand my point

[@xXVolteon50Xx]

Jojo fans cared, that's why it got patched like crazy until it was actually passable.

[@VillainForACause]

God damn I love this game. I'm so happy this happened.

[@LuffinaAureline]

As much as I love the Zaibatsu, no matter what they say, no matter what anyone says, I will love this game until the end of my days because this shit was rad as a kid and I still love Al and Setsuna.

[@calebrogers777]

Can I just say I fucking love the intros for these videos? It cracks me up every single time.

[@sidlowe4209]

I know, I know, no1 curr and all that. But they can't complain about its defenders when they make it really easy to defend. Complain that there's no jump button, every character has an aerial attack they never use. Complain that there are almost no moves, only use like half of them. Complain that there's no strategy, it's just button-mashing, and while there isn't much, they completely ignore what basic strategies exist (stunning someone and then just standing still while they recover? In what game is that a good idea?). Pat repeatedly says he's an expert because he's played it so much, then constantly uses attacks that are out of range and acts like it's the game's fault they don't hit. Evil Zone's not great, I'm not going to pretend it is. But at least be fair. I'm one of those "enjoys EZ, doesn't like fighting games" people they were talking about, and I'm total shit at them! Which means I would never load up a fighting game, slap some buttons, and then denounce it as shit because I didn't do well. EZ is an important game for me. It was one of the first games I ever got, because it was cheap and we were poor. I played it all the way through, I unlocked everything, and then I kept playing it. I played it until the disc got so scratched up I couldn't play it anymore. And when it did, I cried, because it was a gift from someone who isn't here anymore, and because it was my sort of introduction to video games, especially those that weren't strictly one-player. It came with another game people unfairly shit-talk, DarkStone. I got so many hours of enjoyment out of both of them. I know I'm not the only one. But if KZbin had been a thing back then, I probably wouldn't have bothered trying them, which means I probably wouldn't have bothered trying other games. An entire section of my life just would not have happened. TL;DR: Don't let random assholes convince you the things you enjoy are crap. If they made you happy, even for a little while, they weren't crap.

[@Grimshuck]

Sid Lowe Waah! Waah! Someone said the thing I liked is crap! Waah! How could they bash this important game of my childhood! Waah!
