Just discovered the whole ecosystem of NEO GEO.. even tho I am not a youngster anymore. For some weird reason I never really knew about NEO GEO... well.. probably because it was expensive as hell and I never went to arcade game places either. So I tried out the emulator and found this gem... just wow! I am even impressed by this game now in the year 2022! Its so smooooooth and the moves and fights are absolutely well done. It feels so natural and looks amazing. Dont even want to know how amazing it was to play this game when it came out. They should make a new modern tech remake of this game! My favorite character is Lee so far.. love his smooth kicks and moves.
Whoa playing 2 atm. Didn't think it was such a huge difference but watching this... Yeah the backgrounds here are still beautiful but the character models in 2 look WAY better. I like the crowd noises in the busy levels replacing music here though have to say. What pretty games (both of them).
I think what made this game really great is that it's one of the games that pushed the Neo Geo platform beyond limits. SNK planned to make fighting game systems less costly and bulky. There birthed the legendary old but gold games.
I like that you say you uploaded for entertainment, yet hardly any of the AI opponents put up even slightly a decent fight and they'd have been kicking my ass hard, I don't think you give yourself enough credit...
This game is nice. I always heard gamers say LB1 was better than LB2. I'll definitely play it soon, one of these days. The stages and intros in this game look really cool too. But I will admit, I like Okina's waterfall stage in LB2 a bit more. 6:16👍😲 9:35 Lee stage is sick. That sunset.👍😎 Yuki stage music is nice. Nice playthrough.👍
Love playing these on the PS2 Last Blade Collection, or even this first one on the PS1 (though that version has reduced difficulty). I always have issues with the 3rd character on the arcade and PS2 versions of course (since it is arcade emulation).
