how advanced can a game be that meant to be played with one hand
aaayyyyy happy to see gigabash getting some attention, it needs more love
also the guardian heroes music, another game that needs more love
4:20 What's wrong with WWE Champions, McMuscles?
While not a perfect game, I'm hooked to WWE Champions.
Better animation than Mortal Kombat and Injustuce though, better kicks and better punch form.
Also legit fighting styles.
Wait Matt.. was the madcat really there no editing?
The lesson here is: if a developer isn't able to fulfill his dream of having a succesful game full of their fetishes, they might end up becoming a cryptobro. What a sad story.
A very sad story. 😢
I'm positive thats the origin for every cryptobro out there
This guy in particular looks like he can identify different brands of pepper spray by taste.
That feels like a Jeff Foxworthy setup waiting to happen, "If You tried to make a video game and by the end you ended up selling NFTs.... you just might be a cryptobro".
Honestly the moment I saw him, he gave me that same " 'Says dude and BRAH alot' " vibe that Jeff Spankenburg had. He just radiates this energy of a man who's only chance of getting touch by an actual girl is with a taser.
This looks like one of those fake games an Adult Swim character would hide from his parents
Or in some other TV show
*lifetime original
This looks like one of those fake games people play in teen sitcoms
That's what I said! Like, Life With Derek had an episode around a sexy Tomb Raider knockoff that I'm 100 percent sure was moreso inspired by this.
I'm shocked you managed to unearth so much of the game's development history. I couldn't even find a _wiki page_ for this game when I was making my video for it.
The lore of Girl Fight Goes DEEP (it really doesn't tho)
@@MattMcMusclesgiggity
@@MattMcMuscles Dangerous streets for the amiga cd32 is a special kind of awful. Good luck 😅
Sometimes it's easier to go by the credits, getting the big names and searching them.
@@MattMcMuscles also mat there was a partition for this game the devs wanted to also release it on the Dreamcast
theres absolutely no way a game called "girl fight" could be bad
I mean, the thumbnail alone
And yet, here we are.
Bad graphics or cutscenes could still ruin it. I mean, there'd be literally one reason to play a game called that, and it is the visuals.
Just play Car Lesbians instead.
@@Narokkurai Brah, I LIVE Car Lesbians.
DOA but none of the soul.
more like:
Dead
On
Arrival
IIRC part of the lore with the figthers is that most (if not all) of them suffered some sort of severe trauma in their lives. So this game is based around traumatized, weirdly sexualized female characters fighting each other in a digital world for... some reason. Wonderful.
Well now we know were they got the idea for the movie Sucker Punch 😄
@@bdrive5663 I mean, Sucker Punch came out before this, but... Also that film was 100% Zach Snyder's wet dream in cinema form.
The devs didn't even TRY to hid their fetishes💀😭
That sounds hot
You recall completely correctly. The backstory takes this game from "fanservice" to "creepy af"
Alternate names for this game that would have worked. "Boob Brawlers", "Titty Tournament Fighters", "T&A Wrestling", "Mommy Milkers Massacre".
Surely T&A Wrestling already exists in real life
New Street Fighting Women.
Sexy Trauma Victims
Or catfight
@@soHatey that's TNA / Impact Wrestling for you!
The vague prosoect of the two fighters maybe but not kissing on the thumbnail is the ONLY risque thing about this game.
If you want girls kissing in your fighting games, maybe make all the characters couples, and all the fights lovers quarrels. And then, instead of the moves being physical attacks, they're just verbal assaults that are delivered and reacted to in ludicrously-dramatic fashion. … I started out trying to create a deliberately terrible concept, but now that I think about it, this could probably work.
@@billberg1264 So it’s a lover’s quarrel version of “Oh…Sir!” ? That sounds fun.
Its so weird that they try to lean in to the titillation, only to somehow even half bake that (which is oddly impressive).
He's a man of culture 🧐
I like how you can see the games progressively getting worse over time based on the fact that criticom stayed at the top for as long as it did only for expect no mercy to be almost immediately dethroned
I think we all can see who the amateur was in this case....
It is you, Expect No Mercy.
"it's just the character art, LYING TO YOU" is your best line delivery ever. A+++
You just know the creator got BIG post nut regret when he played the finished product by himself
Nah, people like this have no shame, or they just end up digging themselves deeper.
The product is not the only thing that finished 😏
Something I do not think creators of Bikini Karate Babes would have in my opinion.
Getting a working, running bare-bone fighting game out of off-the-shelves programming kit and converted soft-core porn set is not something to be ashamed of.
One thing I want to add: Building(?) up to its release, the devs tried to hype up Girl Fight on twitter as a Skullgirls killer. Seriously.
Bold, to say the least 🤔
They had a Twitter?
Ah calling yourself a "blank" killer, one of the many causes of a new games early death.
Once again, the Trash talk curse strikes again. "Our game will totally annihilate that more popular one" = Guaranteed failure.
"We'll definitely have one over on Street Fighter 2" - the devs leading up to the release of RISE OF THE FUCKING ROBOTS
Having played a bunch of DOA around thus time, watching this really feels like "We have DOA at home"
RIP "I HAVE SEEN THE AMATEUR AND IT IS YOU" and say hello to "COMBINATION"
Why not have a COMBINATION of the two? "I have SEEN the COMBINATION amateur and it is you!!"
...the COMBINATION amateur is me.
Ricky looks exactly like the type of guy who'd make Girl Fight
A straight male?
@@xXMalakianXVII a creep
@@xXMalakianXVII It's the hair and expression.
Eventually there is gonna be a collection called "150 terrible fighting games on one disc!" and... they'll get my money...
"It's WWE Champions Time!" I liteally bursted out laughing knowing the reference to a certain someone.
I was searching the comments hoping someone else got it 😅
you know it's bad when rule 34 gets you nothing!
Every so often I reinstall this game wondering why I couldn't get into this, give it another go, and remember how lifeless snd devoid of personality this game was.
I played the demo first and never bought it.
Well, its certainly no Rumble Roses.
@@PierzStyx Rumble Roses... ...those were games of culture vastly underrated.
Not having the characters use the weapons on their character select art is just...terrible.
Makes the characters look even less unique in terms of playing different from each other.
@@BzaafiedTheFerocious
But the sequel, XX, was bad enough it might be eligible for this series if Matt would allow wrestling game.
Girl Fight is literally Dead or Alive/Rumble Roses at home.
Thank goodness you did Girl Fight. I have been commenting for you to do so for over a year. I spent way too much time playing this stupid game by myself 10 years ago. I miss XBLA so much.
i had this game on psn i am pretty sure i fight maxmillion -dood online one time
Mini what happened from a former majesco qa guy here:
This game was part of a contract with us doing another game with the developer. They did a game for us and we published this for them kinda deal. This game was sooo bad in test. We had a bunch of people on our qa team that regularly played fighting games on lunch break and knew the genre. We were writing bugs up along the lines of "the combo meter still goes up but if the opponent blocks midway thru it gets blocked and therefore its not a true combo." There were also some silly interactions with a certain person on the development team in the bug database.
Edit: oh yeah the best part of testing this was discovering i think it was the design doc for the game. Apparently several of the girls likenesses were "inspired by" certain internet porn stars.
Edit 2: after talking to a fellow former coworker he remembered it was suicide girls, and how he didn't think they had permission for the likenesses.
Game accidentally gave us a glimpse into a world where someone made a fighting game where you play as genetically engineered Clan pilots.
I declare Batchall. I bid away my clothing.
Do you accept my batchall?
Now I'm thinking of that one Elemental character from the Battletech cartoon.
CLAN JADE FALCON. The Jade Falcon Clan.
Honestly, I actually really like the idea of unlockable police reports and the like as a storytelling method for large cast-centric games such as fighting games. Fits really well with this very chuuni fighting game premise I've been kicking around in my head.
That said, the fact that you have to grind points for them and also use the same points for getting other unlockables to buy the reports is... unpleasant, and you really need _something_ to latch onto and find enjoyable and interesting about the characters without needing to read these; else it's like "why should I bother unlocking and reading this?".
Really chuuni premise you’ve been kicking around in your head, you say?
@@Somerandomjingleberry the tl;dr
Hell envisioned as a maximum security prison, characters are all people from across the world and time who committed sins of varying atrocity in life (though to give a frame of reference, one of the "cleanest" characters still beat his wife to death), and they're competing in a fight-to-the-death tournament being held for the entertainment of the demonic staff and the other "inmates", with the prizes for the champion being any wish of their choice and being brought back to life.
It would have worked better in an beat-'em-up maybe?
@@TeruteruBozusama Assuming you meant my first post, I'd say the fundamental issues with how Girl Fight did it are that the characters simply aren't memorable enough for anyone to be interested in seeing their backstories, and that making their backstories compete with the other unlockables for what you're spending your in-game currency on is really terrible.
The genre doesn't really change either issue.
@@LonelySpaceDetective Damn that's a cool setting. Did you come up with any other characters and did any members of the demonic staff participate in the tournament?
I felt like a trigger code was activated in me when I learned the KF studio made the Adventure Time Card Wars and TMNT Rooftop run. What a weird way to be reminded of my childhood classics.
You know how there are games where the names aren't really all that great and drags the game down? This is one of them and more.
If a game's marketed as ecchi, I want it to succeed on doing being an ecchi *and* being a game. I can say "I play Gal Gun Double Peace to get a high score" with a completely straight face because of how well its gameplay loop of rapid-fire precise shots works. I may be a pervert, but I don't appreciate those obvious shovelware games on the eshop that try to get attention by having a dirty word on the title
or how Dungeon Travelers 2 is genuinely one of the best dungeon crawlers around.
I played the remake of the first Senran Kagura for shits n giggles, and then ended up unironically enjoying it. Though I wish there was better difficulty, but it's still a fun button-masher with some surprisingly interesting writing.
DOA is essentially the fighting game for that. Sure it's got some shameless sexualization and bouncing titties but when you combine that into a fun gameplay system (and an extremely rewarding counter and grab system) it becomes something that you're not embarassed to be playing. Also, because Ryu Hayabusa is probably sexier than the women. Look at that beast of a man. Mm.
@@sanfransiscon SK is unironically the only video gaming content my wife enjoys; so you might be on to something there.
4:20 and somewhere DarkSydePhil's pigroach senses are tingling
Am I the only one who immediately thought that Ricci Rukavina was like an alternate universe variant of Tommy Talarico
I appreciate that you just barely couldn't stifle your laughter when mentioning the jar.
Love that he yells about it being weird right as the screen behind him reveals the character is only 18.
I mostly played chaos and they did have hidden moves, I triggered one with chaos but I honestly couldn’t figure out how I did it. I did a combo of around 10-12 hits and the chaos launched the opponent and pulled out an rpg to blast the opponent away. Me and my buddy were both like “how the hell did you do that?”
8:53 The game really does feel like 90s Image Comics brought to life.
I'm honestly surprised there weren't more pouches on these girls. But then those might get in the way of T&A.
The name of this game just begs to be chanted.
Like frat bros repeating "Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug!" I can imagine a catfight being egged on by "Girl Fight! Girl Fight! Girl Fight!"
I didn't expect a DarkSydePhil reference in this video. Well played.
I think "COMBINATION! COMBINATION! COMBINATION!" is going to be burned into our minds faster than "I HAVE SEEN THE AMATEUR, AND IT IS YOU!"
GIGABASH sponsorship?! dude that rules
Like Guru Larry once said, the only thing this game could have gotten right, was if you could play it with only one hand. Awesome video as always Mr. Muscles!
Gotta be honest, kinda shocked at how relatively restrained the body types were. But the problem was that they all seemed to sit within a set of narrow bounds, their costuming was largely pretty similar and the theming really didn't come through.
Hey wait, at 5:57. That's just a Mad Cat from BattleTech!
This looks like a fake video game some 2000s sitcom character would hide from his parents until he finished his homework.
So, Rumble Roses this is not.
Microprose showing they used to publish the MechWarrior games in the back there. Ah man.
It's totally all dudes hooked up to VR with female avatars
"There's a thing in the back of my head, in the back of my mind... and it's telling me, WWE Champions time!"
4:20 There’s still this back here, and it’s in the back of my neck, the back of my head, the back of my mind, and it’s always telling me its WWE Champions time!!! I love it!!! I looove it!!!
"that was muh depression doob"
Oh my god, he's drinking DONASHUNS.
That DSP diss 😂
That DSP 4th wall break when he introduced WWE Champions was *Chef Kiss* ❤
Oh man, i always get so giddy when Matt uploads. ESPECIALLY when it's TWFG.
Gotta love the game being called "girl fight" but the two girls on the cover don't seem they are interested in fighting..
Started watching with What Happened but Worst Fighting Game has become my favorite
Is it just me or do all of the characters look like identical models? All the same height, wearing the same heels, the same hips, waist and bust and very similar faces. Only the clothing and hair actually appears to be different.
3:37 Ooh. They made DSP's favourite game.
It's called a Timberwolf, Matt, TIMBERWOLF! You freebirth toad!
Outside of Skullgirls and Fight Angel, there are also Arcana Hearts, but those games are actually good.
I remember a video of the top ten worst fighting games (Shaq-Fu was number one on it. Feels so long ago.) mentioning this game and bringing up:
1: The game was weirdly hard to find.
2: The characters all use the same base model.
and 3: Warchild is 17.
That box art isnt a good sign...
As cheesy as it is, Warchild is pretty rad name.
"The gentleman behind this game, (of course it was)"
*Shows a picture of him*
and of course he looks like that, too.
4:32 and DarksydePhil spends thousands of dollars on it
Finding fighting babes cool truly is a curse as proven by SO MANY all-female fighting games just absolutely sucking.
Arcana Heart! @@joaoguilherme-zy9pi
It usually ends up being a game made for the horniness first, gameplay second. KOF, Tekken, Street Fighter and especially DOA all have their horniness and characters we all think are hot as fuck, but the fact the game is put first and they're just additions is why the game ends up being, y'know, good.
@@joaoguilherme-zy9pi I have, that's still a handful of drops in a bucket. lol But it IS good to note the good ones.
I played Spartacus, not like extensively, but for a couple weeks like 10 years ago, I honestly never thought I would hear of it's existence again just because it wasn't good enough to be that memorable, and not horrible enough to be like, a video essay about.
This series is so entertaining.
4:20 a wild DSP appears.
Hey Matt.
So, there's this fighting game from 1976 called Heavyweight Champ made by Sega that is literally THE very first game ever made where two fighters face off against each other. If I'm not mistaken, it's actually Lost Media, but there does exist some gameplay footage from a news report from 1977. There is only 1 known cabinet still in existence, & it has a smashed bezel & seems to be nonfunctional. I know you really dont cover Lost Media or anything, but i thought that was pretty interesting & just wanted to share 😊
The shovelware to NFT game pipeline isn't uninterrupted straight line
I have been waiting for this entry ever since this series started.
7:28 if you listen closely you can hear "YOU DARE REFUSE MY BATCHALL?"
I remember Spartacus Legends. I immediately said out loud how was that company allowed to make another game
MadCat, you say? Matt confirmed to be an Inner Sphere player.
But yeah, how did they get away with putting a Timber Wolf mech in there. Was making the rocket pods a tad smaller all it took or did nobody care enough to take legal action?
I'm betting the second one
The futuristic or "virtual" menu and HUD design from games of this era now look like the fake imitations of them you saw in TV and movies at the time more than ever.
Should definitely review "Bikini Karate Babes" too, and yes that was a real, non porn game! Lol
Matt: You know know better. Mad Cat is an Inner Sphere designation, the Clans call it a Timber Wolf.
See, this is why I just mained Variable Geo.
I, for one, consider the Matt McFighter plushie to be the oh-so adorable honorary new mascot of both the Matt McMuscles and Flophouse Plays channels!
7:29 made me actually do a doubletake. That's actually just a goddamned Timberwolf/Mad Cat in the background wtf
The game has one thing going for it... There's a Madcat/Timberwolf from Battletech in the background at the very start, and 5:56 XD
EDIT: Hooray! It got called out
6:35 I know you're joking, but "Woman War" legit would've been a way better title than "Girl Fight."
You can tell this game hasn’t showered in a WHILE
Don't they know that showering is the sexiest thing ever? The game had one job and it failed at even that!
Fun fact ..the one of the main developer of this game would eventually make an indie game called yandere simulator...a game that was in beta for 6 years and was eventually canceled before being finished.
Man, that rabbit hole keeps getting deeper. I forgot about that one, I don't know if it's actually a shame but, shame? it got cancelled.
Dont think I didnt notice the SOR4 training soundtrack in there. Loved it. This video cracked me up as they always do - superb stuff as always man.
Detractor memes will get you banned dood. Another fun video, big ups
**insert Beavis going boinggg here**
Wait... That Viper chick has same design as Viper Ning from Naraka:Bladepoint which came out almost 10 years later... Dafuq? 😮😮😮
I caught that DarkSydePhil reference
Another great video. Plus LOVE hearing that "Guardian Heroes" music randomly. Excellent choice, sir. Plus "Heavy Metal: Geomatrix" nailed this cyber world fighting tournament premise with an awesome soundtrack.
I’ll give Girl Fight some credit, no loot boxes, not a live service game, no season passes, it’s a game of “what you see is what you get”.
Except the weapons. You don't get those.
Been waiting for this episode so long.
I cannot believe Matt made this entire 17 minute long video with one hand!
Gotta say Matt, I love the amount of times you just casually sneak a DSP reference (4:23) into the scripts of these and What Happened?.
I absolutely played Spartacus Legends back in the day. Besides being a Freemium game, it wasn't half bad.
Me too, I enjoyed it, wish they made another more fleshed out version not relying on transactions.
All I remember is this game lead to the meme "Just grab her, you idiot!" over in Maximillian Dood's chat. The gang were in the arcade ladder and Steve hit a bit of a wall with one of the bosses. Someone in chat politely informed them the AI couldn't counter throws. Skeptical, Steve tried it and lo and behold, the AI was that bad.
This was great, I had so much fun, I love these videos
The techno bopper during the Mechanics section reminds me a lot of the “BEEP BOOP BOOP BOP BOOP” track from the SpongeBob episode “Robot Krabs”. Also, the transition music between sections also reminds me of the opening riff to Falling In Reverse’s “Zombified”
I'm trying to find the track name for the music playing during the Mechanics section.
The only good thing about Girl Fight, Gabe Castro released the OST for free.
5:57 Uh... MechWarrior/Battletech would like a word?!
i LOVED spartacus legends when i was a kid because it was free, but also because of the execution mechanics. casually popping some guy's head off like i'm scoring a flash knockout in a UFC game felt so good to me then
Awesome channel, man. Subbed!
