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.
I mean you can just do it like how the gundam vs series does it where for each series you have 2 or 3 main character ultra and 1 or 2 villian for said series. The only realistic problem to me is how they could implement the 1000 ultra form that every modern ultra come with.
@@acidgolem2132 There's also the problem that a lot of them might share a lot of same special moves as well such as rays, saws, etc, unless a Tier system like in Gundam VS is implemented.
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.
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 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).
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)
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
@HaykalH took me about at least five tries. After failing the first two tries i searched around the internet on how to beat him Everything would be better if I don't need to do taro's finisher within a limited amount of time
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
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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
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.
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
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.
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..
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.
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
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.
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
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 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
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 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.
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.
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)
@@gtrproductions269An emulator is something you can use to emulate and play games on different console systems. To get an emulator you need a pc. Use a ps2 emulator and play games that were on the ps2. Like UFE. Search up PCSX2 emulation guide. Its like 5 minutes of your time it's really fast.
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

Make a game dedicated solely to the kaiju
I mean you can just do it like how the gundam vs series does it where for each series you have 2 or 3 main character ultra and 1 or 2 villian for said series. The only realistic problem to me is how they could implement the 1000 ultra form that every modern ultra come with.

12:06 there Is a chance for combo breaker tho
Wait, did Taro just smack his ass to taunt? Lmfao
I'd love for that Ultra inspired Platinum game coming out (GG?) to take after these a bit.
Would you do another review for other Ultraman game like Ultraman Nexus for ps2
I hope he do it, that's an unusual Ultraman game(fast ,combo oriented gameplay unlike other games).

-from where did they take Cosmos's singular style grunt… He had 3 each for Luna, Corona, and Eclipse in the series
You can unlock ultrq father in ultraman fighting evolution 0
