Rocket Knight Adventures, Street Fighter EX, & Cary Elwes

Now that my edits automatically go live, I imagine that I'll be more tempted to make more, smaller edits.  But, I did put some work into a few pages.

First, I came across the Rocket Knight Adventures page, which is an amazing game for the Sega Genesis.  You're some sort of rodent, in armor, who has a jetpack on his back.  You can dash in any direction with the jetpack, and a few of the levels are side-scrolling shooters.  The art direction is amazing, the enemies well thought-out, and - most importantly - it's fun as hell.  This is one of my favorite Genesis games ever.  The page had a bunch of info, but it needed a lot of cleanup.

Next up is the Street Fighter EX series, which is the ugly stepchild of the Street Fighter franchises.  While I can understand why people bash it - SF2 and SFA are certainly far superior - I still love EX.  The new fighters are imaginative, the game plays smoothly - if a bit slow - and I'm a huge fan of the super cancel system, which allows you to link together super attacks.  I owned the game, so I was way better than my friends, but they still had a blast even after I performed a combo that linked 2 super fireball attacks with the super hurricane kick and took off 3/4 of their life.  I think this game might've been better received if it didn't use the Street Fighter license, if for no other reason than the new characters were a ton of fun to play, and offered a surprising amount of variation from the standard Street Fighter character types.  That being said, nobody would've paid any attention to it without Ryu.

I also chanced upon the Cary Elwes page, which needed some major revisions.  Two fun facts:

  • He has only done voice work for one game, the totally forgettable Bard's Tale for the PS2/Xbox.
  • Not only did he do The Bard's voice, he also wrote his dialogue.
