Rant Time (Fighting Street)
12 years ago
Don't know what Fighting Street is? It's the TurboGrafx-16 port of Street Fighter 1 and it sucks. First of all, there's 2 playable characters: Ryu in 1 player and Ken if you're player 2 in 2 player. Everyone else (Joe, Mike, Retsu, Geki, Lee, Gen, Eagle, Birdie, Adon, and Sagat) fights you in 1 player. The controls are absolute shit. In this version, since the TG-16 only has 2 buttons, pressing the buttons does a weak attack and holding the buttons does a strong attack. The special attacks work whenever the fuck they want. The timing must be extremely specific or something. When I played I ended up using the classic controller, since x and y are basically turbo buttons, held x or y in, and rotated the joystick like a maniac, hoping to pull off a special attack. This strategy got me a few wins, but specials are so finicky it didn't last long. Only managed to beat 3 characters at most before getting game over, due to the controls and the fact that the opponents either spammed long range specials or were strong enough to kill me in 3 hits. The only redeeming qualities of this game are the hilariously bad graphics and Engrish voice acting (every voice is done by 1 guy with a thick Southeast Asian accent). I wasted $8 on this pile of shit. Don't be a fucking moron like me and waste your time and money.
