Quick Look: Sega Model 2 Fighting Fun!

Is it just me, or are fighting game quick looks not so good??

It seems like I never finish watching them, (except for the Mortal Kombat 9, and Street Fighter 4)

so wait, if each character in Sonic the Fighters had a Chaos Emerald, and the goal in the game is to collect 8 to stop Dr. Robotonic...

why don't they just all get together and say "hey here are eight emeralds"?

Sonic's shitty friends trivia

@vinny the audio is way too low on this man, im having a hard time hearing it clearly

Ryan, the duck is from the classic Sega game Dynamite Dux, so he certainly have a legitimate place in the game since they had to find some cameos for Sonic to play with ^_^

If you really want to get pedantic, Bean is actually a pastiche of the two playable characters from Dynamite Dux, Bin and Pin.

Megamix or GTFO...

Can't believe I've never heard of Fighting Vipers before. Game looks fucking hilarious.

@Nekrokreuz: The FarCry 3 Quick Look was also a bit lower than usual, FWIW.

Man I played Virtual Fighter 2 a lot on our Saturn as a kid....

Damn Sega, no PC release for this one? You guys never seem to skip a chance to push out some Sonic bullshit on Steam.

Where do snake and skateboard fit in the grand argument of "knife or bat?"

Duuudee

Dayona usa car character!

I remember liking Fighting Vipers because it had destructible arenas and armor you could break off, which was unheard of back then in fighting games.

The design for Mahler is fucking great

@AlKusanagi: Is the snake my friend or did I just grab it from the floor?

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH! watching the sonic fighters i thought i was getting constant text messages, than i realized it was the the video because i have the losing rings noise my text message noise. still scared the shit out of me every time it made that noise though

@bluecollaralaskan: deadliest warrior! castlevania judgement!

A$$ attack, the deadliest viper stance

I'd completely forgotten about Fighting Vipers until this Quick Look. I actually used to like that game a lot--busting off women's armor and especially throwing people through the cages at the end of matches was really fun. Also, I totally never knew that Sega made a version of Fighters MegaMix for Game.com.

I have never seen Fighting Vipers or Sonic the Fighters before, they look awesome!

That guy with the gamertag 'ROB' must have got his gamertag really early on when Xbox Live came out.

I bought 2 lbs of zotz off amazon while watching this

I bought Sonic the Fighters and got 100% Trophies in like 20 minutes or so. I'm not really into trophies or achievements, but it felt damn good to finally do it (I didn't even TRY for any of them, either).

Regardless, if you've played StF before, finally getting legit Metal Sonic, Eggman, and Candy is worth the price.

Bloody Roar?

Guys, I apologize for not being able to appear in this version of Fighting Vipers. I tried to clear up my schedule, but Sega runs a tight ship and, well, things didn't work out. Better luck next time, I suppose.

I played Sonic the fighters at Sega World in London when I was 8 and was blown away. I think I have to buy it!

Wow, never thought Jeff would actually like a Sonic themed game after Sonic CD. Kind of surprised. 
 
Aside from that, all these games look like neat, nostalgic relics of Sega's fighting game history back in the mid-90's. But yeah, where is Fighters Megamix? That game did the weird crossover fighting scheme first before games like Marvel vs. Capcom and Super Smash Bros came out.

Aw snap, they got Espy in this? Also, Sarah's got a batshit crazy laugh.

These games look terrrrrible. And I remember being sad as a kid when I couldn't buy Fighting Vipers. What an idiot I was.

The trials let you play for 60 seconds. 60 !@#$ing seconds! That's enough to to pick a character a finish one round. *Maybe* two. Way to go SEGA. You !@#$ing idiots.

@NowSayPillow: no one who is going to buy these games needs to demo them.

Woaaaah check out that cock-eye from Sonic at 29:06.

good, weird old school shit!

Oh I get it, Sanman because 3. That's um.. clever... Nice to see Snake Man getting another gig, though. And god, the squashing and deformation in that Sonic game is freaking me out. Polygons are not supposed to move that way, stop it...!

Man, why did they make jumps so floaty in earlier 3D fighters?

I bought a Saturn literally a month ago because I wasn't expecting those gamesto be released anywehere else, and now this. Teerrific. Ohh well, I still have fighter's Megamix and Donpachi!

never regret buying a saturn.... unless you were forced to buy it on ebay. Ebay prices are ridiculous.

I loved Fighting Vipers but I really loved Fighters Megamix.

Man the early days of polygonal 3D games. So weird looking now. Anyway I gotta go find some Zotz now.

Love me some VF2 but not any of these other games. Can you buy the games separately on PSN?

I've seen this posted before and I just am not getting it. I'm at 14% volume and it's perfect.

Listen to a video uploaded by Jeff like a Jar Time and the levels are vastly different. I keep having to turn up my headphones for some of these videos.

I believe you can buy them separately on both XBLA and PSN. It's not like the other Sega classics where the games were bundled on XBLA and sold separately on PSN.

I had presumed that this was the origin of Espy the Chameleon (I remember him from Sonic Heroes and didn't know a third of the characters in that game), but according to giantbomb.com there was a side-scroller from the Sega 32X that came out before this called Knuckles' Chaotix where he (and the bee, and the crocodile from Heroes) is from. Never heard of it before!

Also, the stages in Fighting Vipers are bananas. Like, super nonsensical!

Knuckles Chaotix is actually a pretty good game. If you've ever played the Sonic Crackers prototype, the tether mechanic from that game was incorporated into KC. Also... awesome music.

Thanks @Ryan and @Jeff I looked up Zotz since I'd never heard heard of them now i have to go hunt some down. I don't think I've ever seen them around here though (Northern Arkansas)

Edit: Went to a few stores today nobody knew what I was even talking about. So I ended up ordering some online 1.5 pound bag (130) assorted, for a little over $20 shipped. Thanks again guys.

I tried to buy some Zotz online but they only sell them in America. I won't import my candy. I won't do it.

Dynamite the Bean is a Dynamite Düx thing, yeah? I always just assumed so.
