A trivia, the skull reaper's special attacks are special shots from the shmup game RTYPE, and the glowing thing in his body is called "the force", which is a powerup module that the players can attach their ships to on the titular game
The shading on Arabian Moon's sprite is next-level compared to all other characters in the game, lol. Everybody else was handled by the B-Team, but Arabian Moon and CattyDox were handled by Irem's A-guy and that artist definitely _had a favorite,_ not that I can blame him 😉Whoever that artist was, I also noticed he just Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V'd R-Type's ring laser for the Skull Reaper's projectile, lol. Working smart, not hard! Always fun to see what you're gonna find when you go digging around the Jankyard, Justin.
I like that you can definetely see that there was a good artist, who did characters like Arabian Moon or Bushido, and... Ahem... Other one, who did Starsaber, for example.
There's an old game out there named "Vanguard Princess". I believe you would really like that one. It was created by a former employee of Capcom-- I think it is said that he was on the team that worked on Street Fighter Hyper Fighting.
Satinsect is likely the best character in the game from a competitive standpoint. Long range normals standing and crouching, dash cancels quickly into the normals and special moves are pretty much safe.
I just realized that the majority of projectiles in this game are just sprites ripped wholesale from _R-Type._ As a Shmup and fan of fighting games, I don't know how to feel.
Hey, Justin, you should try the "Running Battle" mode in "Pocket Fighter" for PS1/Saturn; I've never seen anyone playing on RU-vid. It's s a mad fun survival mode with tons of Capcom references in the stages!
if you are listening to suggestions. take a look at immaterial and missing power, it's the first ever touhou fighting game (and the best of them if you ask me). the story mode is fun and every opponent has story mode only attacks.
When you going to get on that kensei sacred fist or that evil zone playa playa. Mi jugador. Edit: Satinsects jump punch has mad active frames almost as bad as geese jump kick in the first fatal Fury yo. Geese's was active on frame one all the way til he landed.
