10:48 Prior to The Rumble Fish, there were PlayStation-era Gundam fighting games that relied on multi-jointed sprites for the animation of the mobile suits, so that means each limb of the mobile suits had to be separated sprites that can be combined to form the whole body.

I know this comment is 3 months old but as my newest obsession I had to reply. This was the first (and my absolute favorite) detail I observed in Zen's design. And It only got better: Lud, as the "Ken" of the franchise, also got a detail in his design to match this idea (specifically, his hairstyle) in The Rumble Fish 2. I only wished they could have used the logo design of the first game, with the two Rumble Fishes represented (one blue and one red even) and it would have been even more perfect.

THE RUMBLE FISH. _(The Rumble Fish.)_ Who would've thought that a couple of niche fighters with weird Paper Mario animation would lead to Dimps becoming Capcom's go-to fighting game studio? It's ironic how between Dimps and Eighting, it's the humble folks who pump out endless licensed anime stuff to keep the lights on who ended up saving the day for Street Fighter and Marvel vs. Capcom and giving a jolt to the 2D fighter space.

I think an easier way to describe the visuals in these games is "2D Skeletal Animation" - essentially creating the individual parts (bones) and attatching them together into a model (skeleton) almost like papercraft. Of course, games allowing you to switch out these parts at leisure means its more like... papercraft+. Pokemon Black & White (and their sequels) used this technique for the battle animations as well.

And speaking of the mid-2000's dark age of 2D fighting games, please do more of these Fighting Game Retrospectives on 2000's 2D fighting games: Arcana Heart Melty Blood And one last thing, because you've mentioned Samurai Shodown in your KOF Retrospectives, can you please do a Samurai Shodown Retrospective soon?

I have to say this game seems to have that Japanese take on American urban culture. You know the style of like Jet Set Radio,air gear and Digimon at the time even. I always called this theme "bapecore" because the clothing brand Bathing ape or Bape is a lot like this. It's a Japanese clothing company but has a really urban American flair but is still very Japanese. The American influence of Bathing ape is seen in the mouth that is featured on a lot of Bape merch. I have heard some say that it was picked because it was shaped kind of like the Nike logo but I can't find any proof of that. Was is more obvious is the fact it is clearly meant to look like the Shark Mouth the Us military painted on it's warplanes (I say painted because they have since disallowed painting in aircraft at least in combat the only exception being the famous A-10 Warthog because it is so old it predates this regulation). Ironically the American planes that had this insignia were the same ones that harried Japan in World War 2 and as far as I can tell this has never been a point of controversy. I guess this shows the 2 countries have set aside their differences.

Karnov’s Revenge (And Fighters History) had something like battle damage 10 years earlier. Every character had a weak spot that could be attacked, and after 3 hits it (usually a piece of clothing) would break off the sprite, and cause the character to get stunned (BoOOoOInG). They did this by overlaying a separate sprite over the base sprite. This way, they didn’t have to make 2 versions of every sprite, just an overlay. It also flashes white when you’re 1 hit away from being stunned.

I'm kind of glad you decided to do retrospectives on more niche fighters. Cause honestly, as much as the big brands will always have their place, it's these smaller fighters that I tend to like the most. And it's a shame since they often are underlooked, if not overlooked entirely. So much so that you'd be hard pressed to find any decent documentation on them sometimes. I'm a big Examu fan (rebranded as Team Arcana) for instance and finding anything concrete on most of their games is a crapshoot at best. One of their fighters, "Daemon Bride", is still JP arcade exclusive and most videos I've seen covering it usually have surface level inaccuracies. So getting anything that's fairly well researched is both refreshing and legitimately interesting. Like, I'm not kidding when I say that while I knew of "Rumble Fish", I wasn't that interested in trying it out. Watching this has honestly gotten me curious enough to reconsider...though the issues with the modern port is still an unfortunate deterrent.

Last spring, I took a trip to Chicago, and visited Galloping Ghost, one of the biggest arcades in the United States. Among the hordes of rare, fascinating machines there (Including Dolphin Blue shown at 8:09), sandwiched between Tattoo Masters and god knows what else, on a two function machine with the ArcSys Fist of The North Star, was this game: The Rumble Fish. I was delighted by the 2000s settings and backgrounds, the diverse characters, and, above all, the SMA system, which I couldn't help but associate with the Adobe Flash games and animations of my youth. This game drips charm. I'm not great at fighting games, but I've been playing The Rumble Fish 2 on fightcade with some friends every now and again. It was very cool to see that anyone but me cares about this game.

Just bought it on Steam based on this video. Like a lot of obscure old school fighting games presented on this channel, now that I think about it,...90s and early 2000s developers sure have to thank you. ^^

After viewing this retrospective a few times, I definitely wanna check this series out! Also I would love to see a future Rumble Fish installment of Build the Roster one day as well.

I just want to put it out there: "Atomiswave" sounds like the name of a fighting game special maneuver.

Hey, bro. This game is somewhat nostalgic to me, because I played the PS2 version of the game. 😁 Nice to see it getting some love in this fun and comprehensive retrospective. 👊🏻

I'm glad that you did a retrospective on The Rumble Fish series, Thorgi. There are definitely some fighting game series I would love to see a retrospective on this channel: 1. Dragon Ball Z Budokai series by Dimps (contains 8 games total) 2. Naruto Narutimate/Ultimate Ninja series (over 15 installments) 3. Naruto Gekitou Ninja Taisen/Clash of Ninja series by Eighting (11 entries total)

Glad to see this. Videos like this feel like they wer made for me. I got Rumble Fish2 almost 2 months ago for my 50 Combos in 50 fighting games. This is a fun game.

I just started playing this on fightcade and it looked clunky but I love how it plays it's been a lot smoother than it looks and offense and defense meters are quickly becoming one of my favorite fighting game mechanics
