The Full Fisticuffs Folio (+ Some Supplementary Scrublords)

by mento

The second of my lists themed around the output of the Super Best Friends Zaibatsu, the Friday Night Fisticuffs and the Saturday Morning Scrublords are a singular weekly feature (one's a dark mirror of the other) where the group gets together to play a few rounds of a fighter game or two, "winner stays on" style. While they began the feature with some obvious favorites and recent releases, recently the show's been digging deep for obscurities. It's gotten weird, and disturbing.

As such, while this list is to summarize the full list of games played on the feature for anyone who might be interested in watching a group of fighter game experts (?) play some off-the-beaten-path shit, it's also there to remind me to go back and check these wiki pages are up to snuff.

(Full list of videos can be viewed here. I've also included the featured games from Matt and Woolie's earlier Scrublords series at the start, which can be viewed here.) (Work in Progress.)

Showing 1-10 of 100 items

Double Dragon V: The Shadow Falls

1. Double Dragon V: The Shadow Falls

(Scrublords) The Double Dragon fighter based on the cartoon. There's another further down based on the movie. If I had to choose between that cartoon and that movie, I think I'd go for "getting punched in the gut like Marian" as a secret third option.

Kabuki Warriors

2. Kabuki Warriors

(Scrublords) Kids, if someone asks you to become a Kabuki Warrior, just say "Noh."

Deadliest Warrior: Legends

3. Deadliest Warrior: Legends

(Scrublords) Come now, we can be super best friends!

Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon S: Jougai Rantou!? Shuyaku Soudatsusen

4. Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon S: Jougai Rantou!? Shuyaku Soudatsusen

(Scrublords) I have since updated this page as part of my SNES/SFC project. It's actually one of many, many Sailor Moon fighters. You'd think a show about friendship and tuxedo masks would be less violent.

Shaq Fu

5. Shaq Fu

(Scrublords) Let Shaq tell you how his Ashura Senku tastes.

Fight Club

6. Fight Club

(Scrublords) Bet you didn't know there was a terrible Fight Club licensed game, huh? Well, don't beat yourself up over it.

Tournament of Legends

7. Tournament of Legends

(Scrublords) If you find yourself playing this game, make like the Greeks and exit as soon as possible. Topical humor!

Tao Feng: Fist of the Lotus

8. Tao Feng: Fist of the Lotus

(Scrublords) What the other Mortal Kombat guy made after Mortal Kombat. It's very similar to Mortal Kombat.

Transformers: Beast Wars Transmetals

9. Transformers: Beast Wars Transmetals

(Scrublords) About as much as meets the eye, really. That's N64 blur-o-vision for you.

Sonic the Fighters

10. Sonic the Fighters

(Scrublords) I mean, sure, why not. Sega's already tried putting Sonic in every other genre to see if anything can save the rodent.
