His moves all have crazy range and properties, but honestly his frames aren't the best and he moves fairly slow all things considered.
In this long winded breakdown I hope to answer that question by stepping back through the games with you the viewer, and then breaking down the mechanics themselves.
Join me along the ride as we look at each characters play through, the updated version Legacy of Darkness and even hear from a few community members.

Sorry this upload took so ,long life happens, but here it is .
LONG time subscribers may remember that my first ever video on this channel was a review of this game, but that was back when a "Review" could just be a long play of the game with criticism layered over it via the narrate feature in Windows Movie Maker.
I was somewhat lacking in inspiration due to being so busy and scrapped about 3 other video ideas before deciding to revisit this game and give it a proper retrospective.
Rabio isn't a bad game at all, but it just lacks that special sauce that would make it into a true classic and would only see one more outing with Rabio Lepus Special on the PC Engine , although there was a canceled sequel in development under the working title "Metal Rabbit."

Lapis who is widely considered to be KOF's inspiration for Whip was to be a young treasure hunter, and the daughter of a famous archaeologist. She holds the key to unlocking an ancient tablet's great power which has made her a target of Carlos. Hajime Ito said on his blog that Lapis would have fought at range using the whip on her side had she not been cut.

YEAH WAY TO GO
Mottzilla created this hack all the way back in 2017 which allows you to use Jade, Smoke and Noob Saibot with no issues. Jade even has her projectile invulnerability! This is one of the first hacks to do this , before Abystus released his legendary cheat for MAME that made these guys playable in the arcade.
This hack aims for simplicity rather than fancy bells and whistles. The 3 secret characters don't have endings, but they do use Kung Lao's ending to prevent crashes. Since Jade/Smoke/Noob didn't have any kind of official ending to go off of we'll give Mott a pass on that.
Snark-4918 is back with an update to his MK1 Champion edition hack I previously played during a live stream. The main purpose of this hack is to make Reptile and the two bosses into playable characters. The previous version did that, but this version fixes some bugs and add some new features.
Shang Tsung is a mixed bag. Snark did a fantastic job of making him play as close to the computer as possible, but without the computer's fast input speed you'll find yourself being bull dogged by the computer almost as soon as the match starts. This Shang Tsung also cannot throw a rapid fire ball like the arcade counterpart so his base form has very little use in this, although I did manage to get some mileage out of it in the Goro fight.
I left in continues in this video because I wanted to show off the odd effects, and challenges of using MK1 Shang Tsung.
All in all a great effort by Snark, unfortunately MK1 Shang is just by nature a difficult to control beast.

Goro still cannot walk backwards in this version which I was critical of last time I played, but to be fair if you look at the AI Goro it never walks backwards either! I'm not sure that Goro in MK Trilogy will ever walk backwards , but you can do this when the player controls him. In the read-me Snark says that Goro being this way is intentional. I have a sneaking suspicion that may have to do with the lack of a walking back animation though. Either way it would be nice to see Goro be able to walk back as it makes playing as him a bit awkward from time to time. He's still crazy powerful though and you'll be able to clear the game with ease.

The main purpose of this hack is to make Reptile and the two bosses into playable characters. The previous version did that, but this version fixes some bugs and add some new features. For Reptile in particular he now has his full move list without having to use a button to swap between Scorpion and Sub Zero's moves, making him essentially identical to his AI counterpart. He even added an ending for him!
Reptile is flawless now in my mind. With the moves and even an ending its everything you would have hoped to see from an official MK special edition release.

Arcade Ports were serious business back in the 90s, not least of all the ports for the 3 original Mortal Kombats and the Ultimate MK3 upgrade. Everyone knows MK1 was missing the violence and MK2 was pretty solid, but how does each one stack up as a whole?

As a bonus of my recent Silent Hill 2 playthrough I got to record the entirety of the side scenario Born From A Wish, which shows Maria's mysterious origins, leaving you mostly with more questions than answers.
I've played a lot of games over my years. There are a ton of games with more content than Silent Hill 2, and a lot of games with stories that are bigger in scope than Silent Hill 2, and even games with more story, but very few of them stick with you like the story of Silent Hill 2 does. The game play is peak 90s/2000s Survival Horror with a few tweaks.
I hope you'll stop in for my review/story analysis of one of gaming's most remembered and beloved horror games and laugh at a few out of place memes on the way.
You guys asked for it. Here it is! We continue our look at which Tekken endings are canon with Tekken 4.
Tekken 4 is a game I don't go back to very often. At the time I first played it, I was hot off the heels of Tekken Tag 1 after I had started to really become obsessed with the series. At the time I thought it was great, but Tekken 5 hit the scene not long after I got ahold of it so instead of sitting at home playing 4 I was mostly in the arcade trying to get games of 5 in.
One of four premade test seeds generated by LiquidCat's WIP CV64 Randomzier. This seed tasks you with activating the big crystal in the Castle Center. After doing this the door to dracula unlocks.
Is the randomizer released yet?
Not yet
What does it randomize?
Keys, items and special crystals. Sub weapons remain in the same place. The level select is also unlocked from the beginning to make it possible to get between levels and hunt for items quicker.
To score a special you must hit the alter drop hole 15 times which lights either outline. special is on the right. Each flipper flip changes which side is lit.
Excuse the poor audio I'm on a backup mic after my snowball bit the dust. A replacement has been ordered.
Before Castlevania became Metroid like on the PSX and DS three simple side scrolling titles carried on the torch of classic Castlevania for mobile platforms. Today I'm taking a look at the original 3 Gameboy titles and seeing how they stack up.

The Fallen Angels better known as Daraku Tenshi might just be my favorite 2D Fighter ever, I've done tons of videos about it, covered its quirks, and I was the one who wrote the boss codes for Pugsy's cheats for the game, but even still I never gave it a full review..until now.
