Justin is the hero we don't deserve playing all these games. Even though I'm a huge fighting game fan, I've been learning about a lot of fighting games I've never even heard of through this channel. My entire allowance would've been gone if I tried to play some of these on a cabinet lol.
It reminds me the days I spent exploring the depths of the Mame library. I spent half of my life in the arcades spending quarter after quarter, but after their death (around 2002 where I live) Mame was my only way of playing arcade games and finding stuff I never even saw was like digging for treasure. And yet, I've never saw this game ever before.
@@carlosaugusto9821 I've played almost everything from SNK, Capcom, Midway, Taito, Kaneko, Data East and many others but I've never ever heard anyone mention Power Instinct let alone playing it.
Power Instinct is an underrated series. Is one of the, if not THE first fighting game with a double jump mechanic. Also included dashing, increasing mobility. Oh, and the back dash actually makes you invulnerable, similar to the back rolling in King of Fighters.
Gotta love how Justin reacted to Otane's entry in the game at the last minute to tell the players I'm the real boss (after being the main character in the 1st game... and just like the 1st game, she's a pallete swap of Oume, in the 1st game Oume has the better priorities while Otane is the one with said priorities in the 2nd game), Justin should give a try to Gogetsuji (Power Instinct) Legends, Groove on Fight, Matrimelee, it's update and the 5th game as well.
If given a chance, Power Instinct is a weirdly great game series...to the point where I'd actually call Matrimelee the WORST entry in the series (stiff controls, very few backgrounds, lacklustre sprites and animation) but sadly people THINK it's the best because it's the only one they played (one of the last NeoGeo games so it attracted a lot of attention). For the record the PS2 version of Matrimelee is MUCH better. If you ever play Power Instinct Legends (essentially a rebalanced Power Instinct 2), PLEASE play the Japanese version. They cut the vocals out of the US release. But yeah I think Power Instinct laid the groundwork for the anime fighter genre in terms of its particular feel: fast, combo-y, with a lot of air movement due to double jumps and it was very early on all of this.
I can't say much about OG Matrimelee (I didn't really play this one much, compared to PI2 and Legends), but I agree it's Ps2 update was better, I only remember that I loved to play as Clara (Kurara) a lot and with my friends they hated when I was able to pull the Super Clara transformation in PI2 (and following that trashing them), however now I'm rusty and I had to learn how to play it again, and yeah, is a shame Legends got the vocals axed in the non JPN release. Edit: The JPN only Ps1 port of PI2 has a slim version of Legends as a VS mode only.
You should try Sega's Golden Axe: The Duel from 1995. Came out in Arcades and also has a very solid port for Saturn. Nearly forgotten today but it has some fun jank and still looks great.
Oh man! Thank you soooo much for playing this. When I suggested you play it I never thought you would. I would never be able to beat this so it was really awesome getting to see the ending. I wish I would have caught the streams of you playing it but oh well. The TH-cam video was great. Thanks so much. You're the best.
@@yoman8027 Its considered the official third game though. Much like Street Fighter III was the official third game but not actually the third Street Fighter game released. Legends was a spinoff. Much like Shadow Hearts Dawn of the New World; which some people incorrectly view as "Shadow Hearts 3" but it was never that. It was a Gaiden (side story).
Try playing the PS2 exclusive JPN version of Power Instinct 4 Matrimelee with the extra boss based on that Nigerian-Japanese comedian kickboxer. Soooooo annoying that boss battle ugh

There’s one thing I’ve been wondering: have you played Dark Edge by Sega? I believe it was Arcade only, but you actually fight in a semi-3D plane with 2D sprites. It’s actually worth a look at just for that reason alone. It’s bizarre for sure, but an interesting step in the move to 3D fighters.
At first I didn't like it, played the 1st game not much, but PI2 was the one that introduced me more in the series (while I haven't played much Matrimelee or the later games... just like with PI1 and Groove on Fight) and was a game that I always tried to play on the arcades back in the day, I also got lucky to play the Clara's (Kurara) spin-off once in the arcades that somehow they managed to import it, at least nowdays I have an easier time playing the games, but I have to practice again as I'm really rusty.
An amazing series I'm just giving to you, and it will help the FGC as a whole: A JWong glossary video (A to Z): Sometimes competitive slang like OD: Show OD games. And where think "overdose" came from. It's across games. Sometimes game slang is specific to the game. I'm a MvC2 old head. A lot of slang comes from that. Or like MMS or MSP. Or just saying what a Shoto is. Fuck the Knicks!
Not for nothing, that was one of the most respectful depictions of Native Americans I've seen in a video game in the 90's (T Hawk excluded). ESPECIALLY one as wacky as this.
Justin, play GUNDAMWING ENDLESS DUEL, from SNES, but online against someobody. The game AI is awfull easy, the best of the game only can be watched at matches.
Literally the parodius of fighting games, especially if you pay attention to the BGM Edit: “rage” makes you temporarily invincible during the “spark” animation
Love the obscure games. Still holding out for UMK3 though. No shotos, gotta see what you do! For one more up your alley though, Asura Buster - Eternal Warriors

Power Instinct (as a series) has a such a weird, unique aesthetic to it. Always a blast to watch!
Sooooooo, we just ignore the little dude showing his Wang in this game??? OK cool, my bad lol.
That was odd. All he was wearing was an apron.
He really came to the party like that
🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
6:34 The best part was the AI styling by mixing up standing and crouching hits 🤣🤣

Fuck Persona. When are we getting a new Power Instinct, Atlus?
That granny final form was the scariest thing I've ever seen
Man, if you allowed her to transform into her younger self.....It's GG!!!!
Shin Grandma lmfao
When you get the mirror match and the cpu starts landing combos and moves you never knew you had.
Power Instinct is such a weird series, wish Atlus would bring it back.
I wish they did but they’re busy milking Persona 5 more than they milk 4. Dang it Atlus and Sega, we want a Power Instinct reboot!
Ur face when that samurai ninja threw that combo was priceless. Pure disbelief.
Yeah, Hatori Saizo got Justin so hard with that.
8:28, wtf were they thinking with that sprite?
The Matrimeele series are out of control, in story, balancing, art, and AI difficulty….
It's Power Instinct isnt it? Matrimelee is the name of one game.
I recall the huge buff chick Angela being stupid broken in the PS2 port of Matrimeele. Like Sailor Uranus level in Sailor Moon S insanity
