The Legacy of the Ultraman Fighting Evolution Series 

I think one problem for a future fighting game is the fact that at this point it's hard to figure out who to put on the roster, Because unless you want the entire game just to be Ultramen you have to pick and choose carefully which character you want in.

Some corrections on FE0 (I spent countless hrs in this game in my childhood) 1. Spirits can be turned off in settings, you can also choose how many spirits are allowed (1-3) 2. There is a hidden story line, under which if you beat this line you will unlock the hidden father of ultra, this is the only FE game where he is playable. 3. There are minor differences between story lines, the ultraman who shows up to help and such will change base on their background story. 4. There are unique interactions, for example if Seven's eye slugger finish was blocked, he redirects it and deals a reduced damage.

Ultraman Fighting Evolution would be nice to see making a comeback

Fun fact in fe3 if you press any of the buttons quick enough when you grab someone you can do a light medium and strong grab but it has to be really quick though

FER was my first Ultraman game and I love it also it give my favorite Ultraman (Cosmos) central role in the story! Though FE3 is definitely the better one for replayability and move customization (also love playing and one-shotted monster with Legend)

FER will always be my favorite Ultra game, it have an original story, the animations and effects from when the character uses a special I think they are amazing (even because of that I got to like Ultraman Gaia and Taro).

I feel a new Fighting Evolution would have it's work cut out for it with devs needing to figure out which Ultras and monsters to prioritise for the roster. Not to mention managing all the multiple forms Reiwa Ultras have and how it'll work as a game mechanic. I am also glad that somebody appreciates the weighty-ness of 3's combat system just thinking how would they pull it off with the flashier modern Ultras. But I guess that can be incorporated as a gameplay element in how the Ultras from different eras will play out. Either way I think any new Fighting Evolution will definitely field the 3 OGs from the 1st game, Tiga for Heisei, Zero and whichever is the new upcoming Ultra.

When I first played it, I really like FER, but one thing I absolutely hate about it that convinced me FE3 is better is... EX Tyrant 2 mission That mission was a pain in the ass to go through

I remember being so obsessed with this game and the fact I don't own any kind of console gaming back in the day and playing at my friends house was such a blast, FE3 and FER are def one of my favs to date because of the nostalgia

fer is how i got into ultraman

So... Gameplay: UFE3 Story: UFE3 Visuals: UFER Content: UFER Combos: UFE0

I have fond memories of playing Fighting Evolution 3, Fighting Evolution Rebirth and Fighting Evolution 0.

Yeah as you said FE3 is a treat, I start a new save file every couple years and go through unlocking everything just because the game is such a solid Ultraman game and my options are otherwise limited when I want to play Ultraman content. FE0 is a fun little thing too, I remember grinding out all the unlocks back in high school. Alien Hipporito's silly little instakill gimmick was really enjoyable to play with and really made me like him more as a character. The Pris-ma spirit syncs incredibly well with him, since the enemies beam attacks stop hurting you and instead regenerate your bar, so you can pull them into the death spot easier.

Man I remember looking at screen shots of these games years ago and feeling bummed that we never get the kaiju related games released here. But great reviews man if only for the final installment they combined all the good elements from 3 and 4, those darker designs are awesome!

You forgot to mention the dopamine hit of achieving a Nebula Combo in FER

Here is what I feel a new Ultraman game should have to make the combat flow better; have the same theme of "need to finish with a special attack" but the special attacks are normal and fast during normal gameplay. When it's used as a finish move, then it can be a full fanservicy animation. A game that did this was Evil Zone. Every character had a super special move that they activated by shooting a red projectile. If it connected, the opponent was caught in a short cinematic attack. HOWEVER, if this attack would result in a victory, the animation was suddenly twice as long and vastly more flashy.

Great video! Hope you'll do Ultraman 2004 and Ultraman Nexus game!

I wanted to like FEV Rebirth so much. Seeing footage of it in an old Okkusenman cover video is one of the things that made me want to get into Ultraman for the first time. It looked so cool! And it still does! But it was just a nightmare to play. Everything felt super broken and way too hard, even on easy (and I'm someone who plays a decent amount of fighting games). And don't get me started on that weird thing where you have to do a random button sequence the game doesn't properly tell you to pull off some-kind-of-necessary-to-win moves. Would love to see a better game with this kind of AMAZING presentation.

Solid video man, it's nice to have a UFE retrospective as detailed as this! I have a video about how and why the Fighting Evolution series must return on my channel.

The hardest unlock mission ever in Fe3.. Unlocking Dyna miracle revolium wave finisher...

Loved this look back to the series! Hope you have a look at more Ultraman games! There’s a Ultraman Zearth Board game Ps1 game that I used to play that honestly was a lot of fun in my youth!

I never played these games growing up but I did play a bit of 3 and Rebirth through an emulator a couple years ago. Completely agree with all your points, I could honestly never get through either game because of how difficult it became at times and I'm just not a fighting game enthusiast. However with that saying, I would definitely be interested in a more next-gen fighting game with online matchmaking capabilities. Definitely seems like a fun thing to play with the bois in VC.

Am I the only one that really likes the first half of ultraman 80 😂

Started playing FE3 a couple weeks ago, and... perfect choice of footage at 12:34. The Silverbloome fight is Hell.

Ultraman FE0 definetly has the best combat system in my opinion but sometimes the combo's are just way too op like I did a Leo Combo that can literally one shot you But i used the superior seven and ultra seven spirit in order to do the one shot combo with leo

So how would you rank these from worst to best? Also, any chance you'll make videos on Ultraman (2004) and the Nexus game?

80 needs some love....

There should be an Ultraman fighting game dedicated soley to heisei era. It should feature monsters from nexus and mebius

12:58 no way! a slash move that actually cuts the target?

I want the new Ultraman Fighting Evolution games on PS5.

Now that you have played the Fighting Evolution games, I'd recommend you to play the Ultraman Nexus game if you haven't already Nexus has a much more fast paced combat compared to the Fighting Evolution games

I will be honest. I agree with everything you said about FER. But I love the game as much as FE3. I personally love the combat. Yeah the pacing is definitely quite bad, but the battles IMO feel so much stronger than the ones in FE3. FE3 in my opinion felt a bit weightless due to the sfx and slow punches. FER fixed that for me, with faster punches and much more meaty sound effects. Though yeah I can’t really defend the specials. I personally liked them alot but yeah they are far too slow. One time I did a special and went to fill up my water bottle and when I came back the move had just finished. I think their impact is unmatched but yeah way too long.

Nice video man

I'm trying so hard getting S rank on every mission in FE3

I've been playing 3 since this videos upload and JESUS the campaign is a dick twist.

Banpresto's (Well, now BB Studio) stuff always has pretty good midi renditions of various anime and toku themes. They do the Super Robot Wars titles and most of the time the covers of anime themes or even the original music are a nice treat.

You could make a video on speculating UFE4 roster, i think that would be a fun video.

U know what, last thing i want b4 i die is to play Ultraman FEs in next gen consoles, come on Tsuburaya expand your franchise through games, it be so cool if new gen ultraman in FEs too.

God fckin i remember the fond memories of me playing fighting evolution 3 and 3 rebirth with my dad on the ps2 and crying after i lost when i was a kid, was genuinely trihard at the game but ended up quitting because i was a "noob" Back in the old days and now i missed it so much

Nice video --thank you! Tiny nitpick, but the "t" in "debuted" is silent.

Its funny i unlock zoffy in FE2 by accident , FE0 to unlock father of ultra you need play with timer on your emulator , for FER to unlock character or stage you need to re play the story with certain conditon like do Nebula combo , deflect special attack finish the enemy with storium beam. It will give you a point little by little to unlock the remaining character

aww I wanted to know how the meta of all these games actually worked 😢

for a fan , Evolution 2 and 3 are the best Ultraman games made, with all bells and whistles, and is all so contrasted with rebirth and goes downhill from there., sadly right there when they had all the advantages of the PS2 figured out... Good times..

Great vid

you forgot to talk about father of ultra in FE0 he is in the game and you need to unlock him by doing some secret ending that need to change real time clock to get it if I remember right

Ultraman Fighting Evolution 3 Is Epic

He forget about ultra father in ufe0 unlockable character

FER is what introduced me to the other Showa Ultramen as at the time, I thought the series only consisted of Ultra Q and Ultraman! So in my opinion, your opinion is wrong and those long animations are sick as hell! :)

I'd love for that Ultra inspired Platinum game coming out (GG?) to take after these a bit.

12:06 there Is a chance for combo breaker tho

Would you do another review for other Ultraman game like Ultraman Nexus for ps2

Godzilla games should take notes

I'm surprised more people here liked Rebirth, as opposed to FE3. Eh, maybe I'm just older.

Are you gonna review the ps2 nexus game or that Ultraman kaiju tournament game?

Wait, did Taro just smack his ass to taunt? Lmfao

The Ultraman Fighting Evolution series actually has a lot in common with Dragon Ball Z's Budokai Tenkaichi series : both sides being PS2 games and being released around the same time.

my hot take of FE3 & Rebirth -from where did they take Cosmos's singular style grunt… He had 3 each for Luna, Corona, and Eclipse in the series

If there was a new fighting game, the roster would be humongous and diverse. Or just stuffed with filler lol

still waiting for a new ultraman fighting evolution game 🥲

11:23 bruh 80 with caption really said "shut up" lmao 😂😂

Nostalgic....

did you try the Nexus one? that game is the closest thing we get for an actual fighting game imo

He forgot ultra father

i wish we still got kamen rider fighting games id love to play as kamen rider jeanne

Ultraman Jack's victory theme doesn't sound like circus music to me

Its a shame about rebirth. Suppose its a bit more of a game you'd just watch the special moves of instead of actually playing yourself. Suppose its lets a Rebirth of fighting evolution, and more of a Reverse of it.

Can we get a remaster for the fighting evolution games to every consoles and port it to every country

I remembered playing both FE3 & FE0 (despite being hard without translation)

Do you know there the other fighting called mugen

I had the option to choose ps2 or ps3, dumb ass me went and picked ps3 because of the spiderman 3 game which kinda sucked now that i thought about it. I could have played the ultraman fighting evolution and nexus games if i had gone for ps2. Its one of the few regrets i have.

I still have Unfinished business with FE3 How to unlock these ultimates: Ace's Space Q, Dyna Miracle's Revolium Wave attack, and Zetton's Final Beam

Is it still purchasable in like right now????

Say, will you do ultraman joneus retrospective? I have been watching the pirated version on youtube for a while now, yeah the subtitle is just plain dog shit, the audio quality is questionable, but atleast there is some really crude explanation on wtf happening on screen so i can pass that (and probably because i grow up watching those bootlegged ultraman with downright non sensical half assed translation on a disc that look like its have been played by a cat) and from what i Heard, the official version on tokoshoutsu also still have dogshit subtitle Anyway, i found the entire series to be interesting, joneus as a ultra is definitely interesting, joe(he literally prefered to be called joe) is way more manly than other ultraman, the grunt is manly as hell, and boy his body is really muscular, he looks and build like a actual warrior,the attack team member is way smaller at around only 5 and the monster design can range from basic to downright bizarre, the series is still episodic as hell with occasional double part and even penta part at the end with sudden lore drop out of nowhere and the animation itself can be "interesting" with some episode seems to have more budget, while other seems to have a shoestring budget with overworked animator Its would be interesting, seeing your opinion on its, since joneus is the only "true" animated full series Ultraman, the Netflix one.... its just kamen rider with extra step in my opinion, so its does not count (althought its still good in its own way)

Plz God let there be a new fighting game with Japanese giant monsters

FER skill animations packs so much punch that other ultraman game looks weak in comparison for me

You can unlock ultrq father in ultraman fighting evolution 0

I WISH I KNEW HOW TO GET FE3 LIKE OMG IT’S SO GOOD! (Maybe somebody can tell me :)

Hello ZaGurodan, Can you review game Superhero Operation Series, Kamen rider Climax Heroes Series, Lost Heroes Series And The Great Battle Series

I play every ultraman fighting evolution series but series i still play is FE3 FE Rebirth and FE0 but after banpresto release fe0 what i hear is bandai buy the fighting evolution engine from them that why after that we got daikaijuu battle series, all star chronicle, and fusion fight now even i still play those 3 too because it's using fighting evolution engine sir that what i hear from the news & info

Hear me out, ArcSys Ultraman fighting game.

What did Zearth Do??

Just make a new one like the good DBZ games, and it will sell well lol I just finished the video and saw where Sparking Zero was mentioned. Lfg

I'll stick with Kamen Rider Climax Heroes, thank you very much

FE3 is the best

10:26 and fucking Nexus, (they released nexus game before this one)

god i miss ultraman games, I'm not a fan of the recent ultramen series like ginga and so on. Their designs are horrid for me, plus the fusion thing they got going on. Not loving it
