I hope you people enjoy the video game clip, because I sure did! This makes me want to own and play this game, since I don't already have it.
Yep. Definitely a fun and innovative game for its time. I think I have a few secrets for it saved from a game magazine.
This makes me want to discover thos secrets by playing the video game Snow Tabby. My goodness! it took 13 days, before this finally got it's first reply, so I'm very curious as to how many more days it will take to get another reply, and other replies then.
Ooooh yeah, secrets in magazines involving this game. I have become reminded!
I remember taking this game to my friend's house when I was 7 or 8. He was telling me about this secret fireball upgrade thing and I was like "what are you talking about." So he pulls out this magazine that detailed how to get the Hadouken fireball and is describing it to me. So he's playing through, prepping up, filling my e-tanks and stuff, occasionally glancing back at the open magazine laying on the bed, trying to summon Dr. Light. And I'm just sitting there watching him commit suicide multiple times in Armored Armadillo's level, wondering what the hell kind of code is this.
And then he scales the last wall and lo and behold a pink freakin capsule sitting there on top. Dr Light in a gi gives him a fireball and off he goes. And he's toying around with it, telling me the button combination, saying X sounds like he's saying "cookie" when he shoots the fireball. He later writes the instructions (very largely) on a sheet of printer paper (you have to press the buttons really fast!!!!) and gives it to me and I take it and my game and then go home.
I then test it out for myself at home, wondering why the fireball doesn't save with a password. I get it, try to use it, struggle to try to press the buttons fast enough, etc.
Yeah this story's going nowhere.
This story's greatly appreciated Rabid Rodent, this makes me want to see videoclips of people actually doing this, and then seeing how they play the game by using this stuff.
I was shocked that MMX3 didn't have Tatsu-maki-seppu-kyaku hidden within.
"Extra chips? Gold Armor!? No hurricane kick?!? FFFFFFFFFF---!!!"
EDIT: well, now that I think of it there was the Z-Saber you can get from Zero...
Oh yeah, X3 had a bunch of secrets in it. That same friend and I rented that game a bunch back then. He said he he found the Golden Armor (probably from another one of those magazines) and stuff over the phone. Of course, I was never capable of beating all the bosses, so I just took his word for it. I think he gave me a password that let you unlock it but I'm not sure if it worked. Maybe I copied it down wrong.
Just fairly recently we both sat down and tried beating it all. He taught me (or I relearned?) that you can dash jump off of a wall to go further. How I managed to beat X1 or X2 without knowing that is beyond me. Anyway, we marveled (for lack of a better word) at all the hidden things that are possible to find. As Psx mentioned, the enhancement chips that boost one of your armor pieces (only one chip is allowed to be used at a time), the Golden Armor, Z-Saber (which we didn't know about), the extra Ride Armors - all on top of the typical four armor pieces, four e-tanks, and eight heart pieces. We tried finding the Golden Armor again in the level we thought we remembered it being in, but to no avail.
Using the hidden radar upgrade, we scoured the land trying to find all that it showed us. Some of the weapons you need to use to destroy certain things ... are just bizarre. Like using the charged up gravity weapon (that lowers gravity?) to break a solid-looking piece of the floor in Crush Crawfish's stage... who would have thought to do that?
Anyway, the game did get beaten. I think I dozed off during the final bossfight because watching him kill the same enemies over and over to fill his e-tanks was incredibly boring and it was incredibly late. But it did get beaten!
This story's greatly appreciated Rabid Rodent, this makes me want to see videoclips of people actually doing this, and then seeing how they play the game by using this stuff.
That looks like the Hadouken Fireball from the StreetFighter, videogame. So thanks for the video Rabid Rodent that was certainly very enjoyable to me.
y u do dis?
