Fighting game collectors editions 

LET'S GO INFINITY EGGS DISCUSSION

The Tekken 5 stick is a Hori Real Arcade Pro and was one of the first accessible ways for Americans to get a real Japanese style stick, so in my mind it has to be the most important collector's edition for a fighter ever!!

Infinity Eggs... in a box. Just what every Marvel fan can't wait to buy.

Love the old MK behind the scene stuff. Wish they'd show more of that in their newer games XD

I wanted the snk heroines collector's edition when it came out SO BAD even tho i knew i would never play the game i just really wanted that hat and the shermie pin lol

My buddy and I, who are both fighting game fans, have found several Infinity Eggs at thrift stores, usually for under five bucks. We've made a running joke out of making a big deal about finding one, just to leave it on the shelf and walk on.

That Soulcalibur VI steelbook never went off for me, but it did still break to the point where the announcer sounded like he was yammering on with gibberish.

Soulcalibur gets the honor of first collector's edition you can waterboard.

This was flat out entertaining! I'm glad to see someone put this much effort on a vid about fighting games 👏👏👏👏👏 Now I got a channel to binge👌

This has to be one of the most interesting and will made video essays I've ever watched.

To show just how much of a fighting game enthusiast you are.

Great video. Keep it up! As a note on an obscure collector’s edition: There was a Capcom website exclusive Super Street Fighter 4 collector’s edition called the “Dojo” edition. It came with an Ibuki water bottle, an XL size Dudley T-Shirt, and a gym bag that said Super Street Fighter 4 on it. Little anecdote, I brought that bag to hold my stuff when I ran the New York Marathon, and I had a few people from other countries ask me where I got that bag… it helped me connect with fighting games fans from around the world! 😆 Glad to see your channel growing. Also wanted to thank you, I randomly asked for a photo with your Athena cosplay at this past MAGfest , and you were super nice! Nice to see someone spreading good vibes amongst fighting game fans!

Great video idea! I remember getting P4AU at launch and it coming with the Persona Tarot cards.

Great video! I remember ordering a second hand copy of TTT2's We Are Tekken Edition, but for some reason it also came with a TTT2 beanie and a t-shirt with some nice Alisa art on it!

Just wanna say, really love your enthusiasm and love of the games. I don’t care much for games but the goodies any game gives is very fun to watch and learn! Keep up the good work on content!

Love the soulcalibur 6 narrator steelbook. I didn't know that people had an issue with it just randomly going off and just not shutting up. Love that 😂 I actually clicked mine recently and the voice is JACKED 😂 his poor voice is just a muffled mess 😂 Love this video so far! Thanks for posting it :) collectors additions are an awesome concept but... not every one hits the nail on the head unfortunately lol!

Just stumbled on your content and I love your work! Can’t wait to see more! 😁

I love the special editions for KoFXV and XIV. The latter had the store clerk be real uppity calling it "the expensive edition" also the big artbook that XIV came with is really great. And can't forget those COMPLETE SOUNDTRACKS

This was a great video! Something different from my usual feed, and on a super niche topic that turned out to be surprisingly informative. I NEED to recreate that Tekken 7 statue….

Thanks for this video! I've been loving your content, looking forward to your next vid!

i'm obsessed with art books! A few months ago i got lucky and found the Tekken 6's one in a thrift store for mad cheap, i hope we get an Tekken 8 one soon 🤞

I subbed because of the breadth of knowledge presented in this video about such a niche subject that you obviously love. great job

I never knew there was an exclusive dlc costume for Scorpion in MKX 😮

3:18 MOKOCH? MO! KOCK!?

wow im amazed to see so many existed thank you for bestowing this knowledge to the interwebs

Another great video as always ruthless, keep it up!

Loved my collectors edition for street fighter vs Tekken. It came with a little arcade cabinet figurine.

Daaaammmm!!! Hit the nail on the head ! I did get Halo 2 steelbook and like now with 4k movies dents reminds you. Lolz Awesome Upload 👍

fighting game collectors editions are my favourite thing, cool video :)

Oooo bonus points for using “Your Sunset” from Tekken Tag 2! Love that song.

THANK YOU! Deception absolutely has thee best sub zero design (And his coolest fatality)

new baberutheless video have to put this one in my special edition steel case youtube tab along with my strawberry scented plushie so i don't lose it

I was given some of these from friends since they all knew that i love fighting games. Specifically street fighter 6 and street fighter 5. I was surprised about snk heroines having a collector's edition but it looks really cool!

Enjoyed the video. Thank you for your work. Love the Street Fighter 20th anniversary edition. The codes still worked about a year ago. However they are US only, so I needed to setup my PS3 with a US based account in order to use them.

I miss going into game shops and buying or preordering collectors editions. One of my favorites was assassins creed brotherhood codex edition that came with the assassin box, book and other goodies.

Love yer videos, pls keep it up!

Awesome video! Glad I found your channel, very cool stuff your showing off! I was gonna get the 25th anniversary of guilty gear Strive but the DLC is not on the disk and the soundtrack only has 5 songs off of it. The only reason to get it at that point is the artbook basically. My favorite video game collections are definitly kingdom hearts 1 for the ps3 and Re 2 remake. Keep on being awesome in meantime

That Fatal Cutie hat is so cool

Thank you for the video Power Ranger Villain

15:54 Tekken DVD Case is actually "Perfect" for Loose Tekken CDs.

Such truth about the art books in the limited editions. You get so little and it’s worth throwing 40 bucks down for a deluxe art book.

Note the golden scorpion skin was sold and is sold separately and it’s included in the xl edition

Wake up honey, new Baberuthless video just dropped

I had the Tekken 6 collectors edition that came with a sick white hoodie. I wore that EVERYWHERE.

Mortal kombat chess is how my two friends learned how to play chess 😂

lol I actually worked on the Soulcalibur V and Tekken tag HD NA versions back when I was doing game packaging. lol this takes me back !

Amazing video!

You have finally given me an explanation for my agony. When I was a kid I would go to flea markets a lot and this guy was selling MK Deception for a cheap price. I could only get one thing while I was there, and seeing Shredder Sub-Zero on the box made me confident in my pick. I get home and it’s just Mortal Kombat OG with some commentary of the ACTUAL MK Deception. I felt so betrayed and confused but yknow what now I have a sense of closure

I had the Soulcalibur IV Collector's Edition and always wanted the Soulcalibur V one. Would even wear the special shirt that game with it to school (Yoda and Siegfried one).

Yeah who would own infinity stones or a captain America shield *looks over to my life size solid metal captain America shield *

I love collector editions that come with figures, I always want to have physical versions of my favorite characters to display on a desk. I only wanted the MVCI box for the Megaman X statue, but I already have the Kotobukiya figure which came out much later

I never bought the collectors edition for MKX and I still got the Gold Scorpion skin a few years back it was free on the ps store right around the time MK11 was coming out I remember seeing people posting about it on a MK reddit forum I was part of back then.

I saw this in my recommendations, even though I’ve always been the type of person to settle for the barebone when it came to being in niche communities. This video kind of convinced me that the next time my favorite IP releases a collector’s edition I might as well join in on the hype 😅

The 2 collector's editions that I keep were MK9 and MvCI 😊 ... Also MK Armageddon had cell of entire cast with Ed Boon signature printed as GameStop preorder bonus

Really good video!

MK9 Is goated as hell and got me into fighting games.

This video was amazing

I can already imagine someone sleeping soundly and out of nowhere, your dreams take a turn for the worse when you hear Xemnas go "WELCOME TO THE STAGE OF HISTORY" Also, I definitely loved the Tekken 7 Collector's Edition, and the statue is great, however, I will warn that if you plan to get the statue from that CE, you might need a clear transparent stick or support for it, as over time, the Kazuya figure will slowly start weighing down. I missed out on the Tekken 8 Collector's since I was broke. I also loved the Guilty Gear Xrd SIGN Collector's Edition. And I unfortunately lost the keychain that came with that one.

Amazing video

Love the content 🔥

Fantastic video Babe. Man are those infinity Stones Lame as hell.

I have the Marvel Vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds “Special Edition” with a really awesome slipcase, fantastic Steel book with awesome art… and even a short intro Comic/Artbook, and a handful of character sheets with art and special moves.

I like guilty gear signs limited edition purely for the reason that it looks like the tome of origins and has the guilty gear codex which helps bring you up to everything that’s going on in guilty gear story wise. You don’t have to go back and try to play the old games are scour through wikis, It’s a pretty easy way to catch up on 15 years of lore so you can just hop into signs story.

7:45 Most definitely. Bought a SF4 arcade stick that I ended up using as a stash-spot

I got Skullgirls for Switch. Sold by limited-run games. I got the version that came with the vinyl record. At that point, I already had the game on PC. I just wanted a physical copy, and to play it on Switch would be cool. I remember the game was taking longer than expected. So they sent everyone a code to get the game digitally so you could start playing while you waited. It was nice of them to do that. The vinyl record is really cool. I ended up getting the Rocket League and Elden Ring vinyl as well. I probably should get a record player. XD

Oh I still have that sweet Halo 2 box from launch day. Still in good knick too.

For anyone wondering the kollectors edition scorpion skin is free now in mkx

I still have my little bust of Akuma from preordering the 15th anniversary street fighter collection. Crazy what they are putting out these days.

great video

We will never forget the infinity eggs

Tekken does have the best collectors editions, lowkey wish for a Reina statue in Tekken 9

I had the MK Deception premium pack that my brother got me for my birthday. I still have the metal trading card that it came with, I got Subzero with mine.

I would love if more fighting games included controllers like arcade sticks, hitboxes or controllers, that shit sounds awesome!

that SNK heroines collector's edition is really cute!

For Tekken TT2, there's 4 editions that comes with more times, the Italian exclusive iron fist edition and also Christie monteiro edition, the french exclusive Tekken statue edition and lastly we got the asian exclusive Asia prestige edition There's also an Australian eb games exclusive Tekken 8 King edition

15:40 Oh hey it's Wicked!

I managed to nab the SF6 Mad Gear box as a local store a while back and honestly, best 240 bucks I spend (bonus that it got reduced to that price from 280 bucks, but tbh, Pop Up Parade figues are usually around 60 - 70 bucks each, so kinda fair pricing)

To be frank a good Collector's Edition for me just needs a fine Artbook, a Soundtrack CD (TTT2 OST CD Bundle was the best one so far) and a statue. If the SF6 Mad Gear Box just had a CD with all the Character and Stage OSTs on it I wouldn't have hesitated at all. Seems though that we still have to wait for a real ULTIMATE Collector's Edition for a Fighting Game.

Getting the Street Fighter 6 collectors edition was the best decision I’ve ever made!!!

As always Grade A video!

This video is for me.

Didn't see the video credit at first. Wasn't expecting those arms! 4:13

I started wearing my Tekken 6 hoodie just this year. It was my personal most precious collectors item and was scared to wear it cause I hat the white one haha. All in all, I feel collectors editions got so expensive now, that most of the time the statue isn't even worth it anymore to me. Which is why I liked the Sophitia one, the statue was amazing and it wasnt so expensive

So yeah, those video trading cards in MKD are named that because they were the "video versions" of the trading cards that came with MK Deception's premium pack. They had the same design and all. I remember mine (also had the Premium Pack on PS2) was a Sub-Zero one, so I guess it just...came with that.

Like south park snow day!!! LMFAO 😂😂😂

The Soul Calibur 5 one I never purchased but due to the original owner being a scumbag it became mine. Overtime though I gave it away to my sister because I wasn't using my 360 anymore. She LOVED it because as a kid she was fascinated with that whole hideaway book idea. So giving her something like that just lit up her day. Also yeah Limited Run games if I paid attention to how long it was going to take I probably wouldn't have bothered with even buying the one I did, I'm patient but this is beyond ridiculous. Preorders ended on November 2023 not expected to ship til Q3 2024, nearly a year of waiting.

My TOP 3 Favorite Fighting Game Series: #1 Mortal Kombat, #2 TEKKEN, #3 Soul Calibur (in that order for me) #MortalKombat #Tekken #SoulCalibur #SoulBlade

As a Sophitia main her statue was and is amazing Im glad they went with a female

Man I wish every future fighting game collector's editions/pre-order bonuses can do something similar what SNK Heroines does. Gotta respect that game for actually cares what "collector's edition/pre-order bonuses" mean. But hey at least we got some dog tags from DOA5, so that's neat to say coming from the Lei Feng main myself.

"Casuals are probably fine just using a pad" Me: *hastily shoving my standard controller under the couch* haha yeah totally

Not xrd in the boring section 😭😭😭 the art book has full profiles on the characters that is super in depth and an informing read 😭😭😭

"having Darth Vader and Mitserugi on it makes it seem like a bootleg shirt." Exactly what my wife says every time I wear my shirt with Yoda and Siegfried. It looks even more jank than that one, especially since it has faded thru the years. I love how bad it looks so much. Fools people everywhere into thinking its a Star Wars shirt lol

That Jin statue is so nice wtf. Gotta find a seller now.

Bro casually has a Slot Machine😂

Killer Instinct 2013 had an interesting limited edition called the Pin-Ultimate edition. It didn't come with a physical copy of the game (just a code for the ultra edition of season 1) so there was no game case, so instead what you got was a pin display case that had spaces reserved for 16 of them (8 of them were for the season 1 characters and the other were various symbols related to KI) and 2 pins included (Jago and the KI symbol). Penny Arcade did the artwork for the pins which was pretty neat. And speaking of Penny Arcade, you could only get the rest of the pins from their web site.

The Gold Scorpion skin is actually available on PSN for free now

i don't really care for MK, but damn that DCAU looking Scorpion looks amazing

I didn't know the SF4 movies are canon. My fave part was when Ken was monologuing toward the end. And then said, "Ur gunna be a godfather, Ryu." ❤️

the mortal kombat x gold scorpion skin is now free in the store ^^

Yakuza collectors edition!!!
