Maybe it’s because I love a bit of insane anime fighting, maybe it’s because it’s one of the many morning cartoons I wasn’t intending on watching yet would up following the series, but I was really impressed by this demo. The characters are Naruto and his teacher, the staple of the series(at least the first series) and the gameplay follows the cartoon quite closely. Simple things like dodging attacks by using the wooden logs as decoys was a great tribute to the cartoon and like all good fighting games, button bashing will get you somewhere, but if you know what you’re doing it’s all over. Arguably I did a lot of bashing, but I found some great moves, and the computer(as Naruto) let me see how in depth the game will be.
There are heaps of characters in the Naruto series, and being based around Ninjas using their shakra to use insane special moves, what’s there not to like? It might seem very Dragonball Z, but the fighting is a lot free-er and summoning minions to help at will is a nice touch that can always screw things up for a beatdown opponent. I was pretty impressed, it’s a great looking demo and looks like it could be a lot of fun. Definitely on the ‘to buy’ pile.
It’s E3 time and being something of a fence-sitter with consoles, it’s always an interesting time for me because I see fanboys flaming each other with huge arcs of heated, uninformed and opinionated banter supporting their own purchases. I also really enjoy the chess like strategies employed by the console giants. Although Nintendo are sitting at the kids table, plugging away and dominating the ‘fun’ market, watching the heavyweights slug it out brings out the kind of sadistic satisfaction I get from watching idiots hurt themselves.
Today it was announced that Final Fantasy XIII was not going to be a PS3 exclusive, resulting in a big cheer from Xbox fans and the sound of millions of cotton threads stretching as Sony fans tugged at their collars. Xbox360 owners can gloat that they no longer need to get a PS3, FFXIII fans can now choose the cheaper console if they want and Sony have to pull out something big in their conference to keep up. Whether the employees of Sony are soiling their collective pants, or if they are kicking back with cigars blowing misshapen rings of smug into the air because they know something we don’t, we will find out shortly.
The kajillion dollar question is: What could they do? A God of War 3 announcement would surely help, but showing footage or trailer of one of the best games in the franchise does not even get close to the level of acquiring an entire franchise. Well, when I say entire, I say most likely all the games from here on in. Having only played FFX and a few hours on the earlier games, I can’t say I’m a huge fan, but after looking at the trailer, I’m sure I will give it a run.
Okay, here’s 6 more for you bloodthirsty net people. 3 of them were submitted by people that came across the site and the other 3 I did because NightKobrage asked me so nicely. They are:
Here is a few more, I put them up on youTube the other day and here is how to do them all. They are mostly made for people commenting on the past guides and requests for ultimate fatalities for a specific character, plus the odd person that I want to do one with. I have an idea of compiling all these to one huge MKA Ultimate Fatality guide. I have counted that i have 20 ultimate fatality videos on youTube, so theres 40 left. I’m just not sure how unique they will all be. But if you all had 60 ultimate fatalities to choose from then you would be able to mix and match between characters hey?
This was a request for darksun21, who posted on my first guide asking for an ultimate fatality for Chameleon. For this one I decided to have a bit of a change, I’m constantly ripping hearts and brains from the front, so I thought I would see how it looks from the back. It is a bit staggered here and there but I think my controller is getting worn.
This ultimate fatality is for beck. This was a bit of fun. I really like the transition of breaking an arm, then ripping it off, it just makes me laugh. You need to do it at the start because it takes time to pull off. And the ending is VERY Bruce Lee i think.
This one wasn’t requested, but I was looking through the stuff you can do with short sword characters and well, Mileena is the psycho girl in the game. Ever since MK2 where she had the psycho stabbing frenzy fatality she has just been nuts, so thats why theres so much stabbing in this one. Might have looked nicer with 2 arms getting cut off… but i had torn it off already….
This was a request from Robert for an ultimate fatality for Sub Zero. Sub Zero is a type 2 sword character, and although the other character I have used like this(Dairou) ends in the shish kebab move, I thought I would do it again. To make sure it looked alright I did it against Motaro cos it kind of looks stupid when the ther character is smaller.
This ultimate fatality for Shujinko is for James Perez. I wanted to try a few transitions for this one, and it wound up looking like he is beating him senseless in each change. Probably cos Bo Rai Cho had no arms to stop it. Hope ya like it.
Thats right, I have made a Charp character based on well, my alter-ego. He looks the same in every game I make him. Names aside, here is 2 fatalities you can use for any characters you have made yourself. I haven’t quite figured out what transitions they can actually do. I haven’t actually got any working but I have only tried a couple.
