WHY DID NO ONE PLAY FATE UNLIMITED CODES? 

This game is the reason why i started to play fighting games and become a Fate fan. I used to play this with my little brother on the PS2. Idk how to do any moves back then and the game language is in Japanese, I was so confused looking at the command list cause the symbols for the buttons is in kanji. I was able to figure out the basic mechanic through trial and error, messing with the training settings to learn how the Holy Grail and the Command Seals mechanics work. I also figures out how to read the command list by noticing that the kanji is color coded to the buttons on the controller. I was having a blast figuring things out and that enjoyment of figuring out a fighting game carries over to this day. Since i can't read Japanese i was using everything else to made up my own story, the character moveset, the special character interaction like how Shirou uses a different super againts Kirei, the arcade's CG and rival battles, how characters have a matching command seals, etc. When the UBW anime airing i was reintroduced to the series and was shocked at how many plot stuff i had guessed correctly, from then on i watched all the anime, movies and read the VN's that's available. It made me a fan of the series and made Shirou one of my favorite characters of all time. I fucking love this game!

Never thought Justin would see this hidden gem. Saber’s moveset was also in Melty Blood Type Lumina by the way.

Unlimited Codes is very underrated, hope we get a new fate fighting game one day

We need more videos that are Justin poorly breaking down animes he saw once upon a time lol

Many reasons 1. It's japanese only on the ps2 and arcades, although it did get localized in the psp, this still severely limit a already small number of people who really like anime fighters, giving people overseas no other choice but to import it. 2. Franchise recognition, Unlimited Codes released in the mid to late 2000s, when Fate as a series was not as known as it is now. 3. 8ing being the developer, 8ing in the ps2 era busted out a lot of fighting games that were Kusoge as hell, in which unlimited codes so happen to be one of them

The Arcade version, huh? The PS2/PSP versions have a bunch of extra characters: Bazett, Leysritt, Saber Alter and Zero Lancer/Diarmund (this was before Zero was made into an anime, btw), as well as one of the better single player content where you can unlock a variety of minigames involving a priest speed eating mapo tofu before he passes out from the excessive spice (I'm not joking). The PSP version has a bunch of extra skins but also simplifies the inputs for specials from quarter circles to double taps. While useful for beginners there's no option for more traditional inputs and I don't know if there's a mod that restores the inputs to those from the arcade. If there is something negative to say about this game, it's that like Melty Blood, it assumes you're familiar with all the routes from the VN it was based on and it shows with the roster (The launch roster wasn't too spoiler heavy with Gil as the only offender, but then you have Dark Sakura as one of the 3 hidden character who along with Altoria spoiled Heaven's Feel a full decade before the movie came out with Luvia as a bonus character from Hollow Ataraxia and it only gets worse with the extra characters added in home ports). God, this game needs a HD remaster so bad.

Easily my favorite reaction video. Love how blown away you were by the finishers. Def wanna see more Fate content on your channel.

I would love nothing more for French Bread to make a new Fate/Stay Night fighting game. Theres something really special about Stay Night, and I would love to see both a Stay Night AND Grand Order fighting game, on top of Melty Blood currently. Type Moon fighting games are sick as hell. Also Justin, read Fate/Stay Night.

i played this game for the first time on psp then on ps2 and i continue to play this game to this day because it's so much fun

Your series of reactions at 8:03 when that combo just kept going was too good. Watched that at least 5 times by now. 😂

The trials in this game are nice and it even has some mini games

"Hey, that's Hell you're walking into." - Fate fandom to Justin

This little known Fate fighting game has been developed by Eighting, and jointly published by Type-Moon and Capcom. It got a Western release but it's the PSP port.

The ps2 era fgs are pretty damn underrated. KOF11 and this are some of the very underappreciated gems of this time.

There are many time lines in fate , in on Shiro ends becoming archer it depends of the anime or the novel

I was waiting for this moment, finally you're playing this

Unironically I have this game installed on my pc right now. Would love to see Justin practice and play this crazy ass game lmao

Yes, he is Archer. Time has no meaning after they die and become a hero.

Its one of my favourite. I played it if not mistaken my ps2. Love that this game have cool combos

Yessss! This video was a good time, I’d love to see Justin play FUC in the future (lol what a great acronym). The PSP version actually came out here in English so he could play that version if he wants the story mode or tutorials!

As an avid Fate watcher, I'm glad to see you reacting the same way that I did lol

Eighting's stuffs are always fun to play/watch.

Remember playing a shit ton of this game in the ps2, jump cancel is a difficult mechanic, but damn it is enjoyable to pull it of, Wong really should try the trials, they are almost like KOFXIII

They had a cabinet for this at Too many games and it was a blast

Justin finally playing something from the Fate series!!! This was my jam! Still love how cheap Gilgamesh is

Nice game, it was new for me. It is an excellent adaptation as a figthing video game, nasty combo potential. I really like FSN, I remember trying to watch it on Animax channel. At the end I had to buy the series on DVD.

Fate content in '23? Fate content from Justin? Cool. Also, yeah, the Fate game was only on PSP. But, I could only play on a friend's PSP cause I think his was able to play it. Not that his was a Japanese region one, that it got hacked to play it

The Circle is a Low Grab that teleports you far away, crucified on a circle into some oki if you're teleported close enough because of a wall behind you lol You have to jump to dodge it

I really like this video of discovering an old animated fighting game

Just a heads up the PSP port plays nothing like the arcade and PS2 version. The PS2 version is closest to arcade but it's not translated if you care about that.

I played this game a lot on PSP. I was a fan of the original visual novel. For the plot and for the "plot". He he

My man, I never imagined you playing this game, so nice to see it!

I played this and also still playing the PSP version! The Fate Series is one of the anime I love. Kirei has the Shun Goku Satsu command special (well Capcom was part of this game)... Unlimited Blade Works is satisfying if you can activate it. If you activate the Holy Grail, you will be able to execute the Noble Phantasm (true) of each hero.. Archer (Hero Emiya) is Shiro in the future. He became a Guardian of the World

Best thing about unlimited codes - this game mad fun on both pro and casual level 😃 cause you can easily pull out cool stuff even if you don't know what you doing. And for pro here so much things to lab and optimise. It's a shame this game were never released on steam...

This is a chad game Justin! Glad you find it - I played this one years ago on the ps2 then recently I emulated it on my phone to remind myself. Great game. Wish it got a re-release

I loved this game, played it on the PS2 and the PSP. would spend hours playing this with friends along with melty blood back in 2010 or 2011. I originally bought the game because the special edition game with a figma Saber lily

Yooooo little one in the background climbing on cabinets looooool love it, sending big love

Plunk down 100Y into a game based on your favorite manga/anime, "Cool, wonder how this pla....and I'm dead, um, cool experience".

You should watch Marlinpie play, his archer is sick with it and seeing the Unlimited Blade Works in tournament is the coolest thing in a fighting game period

This game never took off because it was exclusive to JP only, and is seen as a game to promote the Fate/Stay night franchise back then. The PS2/Arcade version is notorious for being difficult to play cause of the various QCF inputs and the very tight timings to execute the combos.

Yeah so like the level 3s in this game have a glitch wherein if you cancel into it from a projectile, it hits in its raw unscaled damage. So essentially, everyone has a vergil lvl 3

My guess it's because it's on old consoles? This game need a re-release on modern consoles/pc or a sequel, that includes FGO characters. Seriously, flexing on Kirei with Quetzalcoatl and her lucha libre sounds so cool

Was hoping Justin would have seen an UBW combo, even if it's not practical lol.

Lol with my brother being a massive Fate fan, it was only a matter of time until I played this game.

One game I always wanted to play was Daemon Bride from Examu.

This game def had a grip on the NYC anime scene when it dropped. Ask Marlin ;)

Saw Team Spooky upload some tournament footage of this a few days ago. I wouldn't mind seeing you try the game out

Shout out to Harper putting in that SFII work on the background

Shirou have his own tier which is the lowest amongst the lowest. You haven't seen everything from Gil, being able to 100% from any 1 hit lmao. And the craziest is Lancer and his random loops. Wish you would play this.

I still have a copy if this game on my PS2. IIRC the chalice once filled, you or your opponent can try to claim it and it gives you access to your Noble Phantasm, which is like your Ultra.

i used to play this game a ton back on psp xD its a ton of fun, loved using Lancer and Kojiro Sasaki xP

This game was released state side, but only on PSP and it was digital download iirc. A real shame cuz it was a lot of fun.

Archer is what Shiro becomes in an alternate future

I have it on the PSP. I found it was so much fun I imported a Japan PS2 to play the PS2 version much better, love it's great play lots of fun with combos and fights. The Japan console uses 100V not 115V so a power adapter may be necessary.

6:20 to put on simpler terms, Archer is the future self of Shiro invoked during the 5th Holy Grail war as Rin's Servant because the catalyst used to perform the ritual was used by Rin earlier to save Shiro's life.

I would love to watch you learn this game!

Still holds up to this day

I loved this game. Played the JP PS2 version a ton. Good shit

This is the only non-MvC2 game that I enjoy. Respect

Wait until you see Luvia SLAP infinite, Rin Kicks and Gems and some Lancer Shenanigans

Spoilers about the《Fate/stay night》: So the story is that you could summon Heroic Spirits to the battles, they are mostly from the history, because they got worshiped and is well recognized by human beings. An exception being the Archer, who is actually from the future. To be specific, he's actually Shiro, but from a different timeline. Shiro started mimicking the fighting style of Archer after they met, because Archer's style makes lots of sense to him, since he's familiar with Projection magic (materialize weapon) and Kyūdō (Japanese archery), that's why they share similar move sets.

Cause we was playing Street Fighter IV at the time and I don't even think NEC had it that year.

I remember seeing one video with a hyped commentator about this game

"I don't know anything"- justin wong 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Shiro becomes a hero in the future, and that hero is Archer.

Also never played this game, but I watched it heavy back in the day.

I could never keep straight anything that was going on in the Fate anime.

Would love to see you play more beat it up games

>Mash Kyrielight is added to the latest Melty Blood >Edmond Dantes is Added to the latest Melty Blood >Ushiwakamaru is Added to the Lastest Melty Blood Oh FFS!!! We all know you want to make an FGO Fighting Game! Just do it!

Awww damn 😂 why did I miss this video. This is one of my favourite games.

I love this game so much, but you could not find it here, fortunately, in Brazil, the ps2 era was run mainly on piracy, in every single town, you could find cheap, unlocked ps2 that you could play games downloaded from the internet, I think I actually never seen an original ps2 game in my town, and so, being the fighting game lover that I am, I searched for every ps2 fighting game iso that I could find, and eventually found this one, honestly, together with Melty blood Actress Again, and Bloody Roar 4, is one of the games I played the most. BTW recently I tried again and I first discovered that Archer could do Rho Aias, so, that was fun.

I would love to try this game out it looks super fun

"I've seen the anime" "Chalice"

Unlimited codes is a awesome game I like it caster is tough if she spends the bar up she can do a lot of damage basically enough to take the opponent out good job Justin for showing us this game

Justin! Did you notice Caster Healed at the end of the video?

I was just playing this yesterday and Bazett is probably the most broken character in the game!!! I hope you got to play this hidden gem.

This game released too early, if it released in the past few years following FGO's success, this would be one of the biggest fighting games around.

I did like this game. But I like almost everything you show

I figure I didn't play Fate/Unlimited Codes because I didn't remember it coming to North America! I only recently saw Unlimited Blade Works!

First time seeing it Twitter 😱❤️ and looks interesting!!!!

This is one of those games id play for 10-11 hours a day but ill take breaks within those 10-11 hours a day to rest hands and eyes.

Try the kinnikuman grand prix max . That game goes hard

You think Gilgamesh is broken? Wait until you see what kind of beast Dark Sakura is.

This game is so underrated, but it's so good

WOW. I dont think Caster was low tier. She was doing some things.

2 facts Justin. One, Fate/Unlimited Codes is made by Capcom but published by Type Moon. And two, Fate/Stay Night is the game based on, is an eroge game for the PC. The Fate franchise is expanding in different mediums and spin-offs, even the magical girls starring Illya. The series should be re-introduced as a fighting game based on its latest trend, Fate/Grand Order.

This was dope wish they had this game on steam so i could play it

Caster and Hilda from Under night had some same moves.

Bought this game like 10 years ago.

Just downloaded this game time to be a fan boy This game was Dragon Ball FighterZ before DBZ FighterZ !!!

This game would have had to complete with SF4 had it come out. In the US, all the mooks wouldn't play anything else at the time. It was dark times back then.

They should make a Fate fighting game, or Type Moon, instead of putting Fate characters into Melty

You streamed the matches? (VOD top left)

Well... when Gilgamesh uses Ea against Archer... I mean that sword is a Universe destroyer after all...

Woah. I was thinking about this game just a few hours ago

You must try this game, Justin Wong, or you will regret it. This game is really fun and I have some beautiful memory of playing it with my friends!

I think a good amount of people played it on the psp back then but it’s just one of those games that got lost in the shuffle.

Only played it on PsP... Love this game!!!

main reason Unlimited Codes was never localized is because the only Fate titles available outside of japan are the first, third and fourth Extraverse games, Fate/Grand Order and Fate/Samurai Remnant, not much reason to release Unlimited Codes if Stay Night and Hollow Ataraxia never officially released in the west, though that will change soon of course

Bro I started that game recently it’s sick. We neeed ps2 emulator on fightcade
