Today we're doing the Fightcade Frenzy tournament, and we're playing Double Dragon, the SNK game for Neo Geo! There is some very cursed content in this game, especially when it comes to Abobo's combos and super. But we had a lot of fun regardless, and there's a lot of fun tech in the game as well! Hope you enjoy the matches!

i played this game so much with my older brother in my childhood. I like when people discover this obscure gem
The movie from this game is quite known here in Brazil because it used to be broadcasted in a very popular daily TV show, in the afternoon. So many good memories seeing you guys playing this one
This game seems a lot better than the normal "the game based on the movie based on the game" type games
well, one of the street fighter movie games was actually really fun. The other one was fun too but in a jank way
@@Burger_pants STFU! That game is the worst game ever made
@@Burger_pants Yea, the arcade one
The "Charge" system is really underrated. Works like any other super meter, but folding into the lifebar itself is just so elegant.
Works as a decent comeback mechanic too.
Similar to the Ultra combis in SFIV and SFV where the meter fills up as you take damage.
How does it work though? I feel like i can't wrap my head around it. Oh man I'm confused...
@@ogmog You get meter by hitting someone regardless if the move is blocked, how much meter you need to build is tied to your HP.
@@ogmog in the life bar, then they get a hit, some get meter builds, when their life bar is fully grey, they get super
Technically, it was made by Technōs Japan Corp. in association with Imperial Entertainment (the production company who made the Double Dragon film).
Also, DD wasn't "that NES game". It was originally an exceptionally popular arcade game that was then ported to like a dozen other systems.
@@yourswordsir2537 Yes. Horrible misinformation in this video. No research whatsoever.
These obscure fighting games are awesome lol. If you can, a tournament of breakers revenge would be freaking beautiful.
Breakers revenge 1 and 2 are supposed to get an official release this year with rollback. And rage of the dragons!
I dare say Double Dragon isn't obscure.
@@MentalDeviant wow, cool, i did not know it
@@jamesburchill7522 yeah fair, i said that, because normally when people talk about double dragon they are talking about the beat em up games
this is hardly obscure
Don't sleep on this. This game is the best. This was next to the Jackie Chan fighting game at the vietnamese VHS rental spot in my hood.
Watching Abobo inflate into that monstrosity makes me think of the movie "Big Trouble in Little China" where the bad guy does something similar.
Thunder.
That game was the most popular in my arcade when I was just a little kid, I think it has enormous depth.
Same here! I was surprised that the game wasn't so popular around the world
A good game made a bad movie but that bad movie made a good game, full circle.
Not true when it comes to Street Fighter The Movie thou
"The game was actually made by SNK."
This is false. The game was actually made by Technos Japan which was their first game for the Neo Geo hardware. Their name is even shown first thing in the intro.
Yup. The others were Super Dodge Ball and Voltage Fighter Gowcaizer.
Capcom fg guys, especially the older ones, who are more stuck in a bubble than other fg fans, are extremely ignorant about other jp fgs, including the SNK/Neogeo world. Even nowadays i always find people thinking that any Neogeo game was made by SNK.
I was looking for this comment.
This is really a good fighting game, it's kinda sad that they didn't made more games beside Voltage Fighter (Which personally i don't like)
@@carlosaugusto9821 this mentality honestly drives me up the wall. Breakers Revenge is wrongly called an SNK game all the time too
Also it's technically an Arc game now, since they bought the IP. They've been using it too.
My favorite game to play on Fightcade. This game was so ahead of its time. Shame it isn't that popular.
The game did well with stages and especially stage interactions for the time. Some interaction ideas were more advanced than some of SNK and Capcom in those years. Now one thing that aged horribly was the excessive screen flash, that for some reason was a "trend" around the mid 90s. Even Capcom used it, but less than SNK, notably around XvSF and MvSF. Now this DD fg is a special example of that trend.
I used to play it when I was a child, it was one of my favorite cabin games! My character was the drunken master. 😊
"Remember Double Dragon" IN THE ARCADE?
The NES version was an altered, unfaithful port of the Arcade game.
Also in the NES version of Double Dragon, Jimmy Lee is the Big Bad.
heh, they had this on a Navy Base back in the 90s. I've PLAYED this game (and saw the movie on ship). It's so wild seeing it again...
That game, together with KOF 95 were my first games I bought for my NEO GEO CD, back in December 95. Ahhh, good times.
This game was in the laundromat back in the 90s. Fond memories, especially of the announcer. Made laundry Saturdays a bit more bearable :).
Id love to see a pit fighter tourney just to see everyone be tormented. And no not the arcade one.
Loved this during the 90s arcade days.
Great game. Marian is *very* different here than from the other DD games. In those she is a classic damsel in distress, here she is a badas more than capable of defending herself.
Wait til you see her in River City Girls 2.
My grandma had a grocery store on her house with a couple of arcades, one day the guys that managed the arcade's put this game, I and other kid's played it a lot that day, my grandma closed the store at night but let me enter the store from the backdoor my uncle's had a party that night in her house they lend me some money to keep playing it was one of the best days eating BBQ and playing this game alone without other kids pestering me.
Abobo getting absolutely disgusting while hulking out is pretty cool though.
Thanks for this video jimcrofts . Doble dragon the movie (the fighting game) gotta be one of the most underrated overlooked games of all time
I remember playing these in a local seedy tavern/arcade machine back in the day. Its a really good and fun fighting game. The movie is based on? Not so much
This game was surprisingly fun, but also jank lol GGs JM. It was fun playing against you.
This was the game I always wanted as a kid but we could barely afford Nintendo games let alone getting a Neo Geo.
After finding MAME a few years back, it has quickly become one of my favorite fighting games of all time. I’m not even good at it but it’s so fun I don’t care.
Love to see a bloody roar fight or ergiez fight!
I probably misspelled that second game.
man, u really deserve more likes & subs, ur contents really well put together.
This game is worth owning just for the attract mode with that great Robert Patrick scene.
One time at a hotel, he showed me where the ice machine was
the final like 30s of that final fight was so hype. well played by everyone involved
Would be cool to see Waku Waku 7 on one of your tourneys.
Seems fun, hope I can get some time to catch your stream again soon
This game was so much fun! Felt like every match I played was a nailbiter -- heck, every match I _didn't_ play too, pretty much! What a great pull.
Dude, I love this game, nice!!!! Awesome thumbnail btw lol
I know the family that owned Tradewest, the company that produced it in America that and Battletoads. The dream job in my hometown was to be a video game tester for them lol.
I have played various versions of double dragon as a kid for nes, snes, sega genesis and arcarde. But this one was my personal favourite bcuz its a fighting game almost similar to street fighter. Gd memories!!
love these tourneys!
Frank and orange have a legendary rivalry on these tourneys
I played this in my local arcade in the 90s with the Alpha hype! Really miss that arcade!
13:17
MAKE IT RAIN!
You should play eternal champions, it’s a very fun sega genesis fighting game.
those poor arcade goers in the flight sim and centrifuge were just trying to have fun but got denigrated by this reckless battle
Had to watch the movie right after the video
This channel is awesome! new sub
That was hype af!
Abobo in this for some reason looks like one of those thugs from fist of the northstar lol and when he flexes it's like he got "O'mae wa mo shinderu'd"
Dont know if little fighters 2 is considered a fighting game or beat em up but check that one out for old retro games. You had to do 2d fighter inputs for moves but the levels are like a beat em up. The game was homebrew but it had tons of characters and saiyans ftw
That game was so fun to play with friends in jr high lol
I remember learning to do special moves and and blowing my buddies minds because none of us had ever played arcade fighters lol
you should try ''Kizuna Encounter: Super Tag Battle'' next
Physical violence: I sleep
Fat shaming: WAAAAAAAA?!?!?
I remember seeing this game in a magazine. It was my first time learning about the AES. But at $650 I knew I wouldn't be able to get it. I still have not seen one in real life.
I actually liked that game, had good graphics and soundtrack.
IM old, i was there when all this stuff came out lolol.
There's one game which needed a part 2. Garou mark of the wolves was so well done IMHO I would love to see what they could do with it while keeping the same mechanics art and gameplay
Sprites are so hard and expensive snk cant do
You say these are the most hype matches, is there a place where you share the entire tourney? I'd love to see more of these silly ass games. World needs more Jackie Chan Fists of Fire.
You can see the whole tournament on his twitch channel
Just the thumbnail I saw. Lmfao!
Kizuna Encounter ❤❤❤
I loved this game as a kid. And the movie
Double Dragon The Movie, featuring Scott Wolf (of Party of Five fame) and Mark Dacascos (the Chairman of Iron Chef America). It was... not good.
Don't forget Robert Patrick and Alyssa Milano.
I think it's based on the movie.
Damn that was dope. Good old days.
I have no idea who molliopp is but I see him so much I naturally root for him.
Servebotfrank vs perfect orange is the new Daigo vs justin wong
I remember playing a Double Dragon fighting game as a kid with my brother, but it was not this one. Interesting...
Oh, you must mean Double Dragon V: The Shadow Falls, based on the short lived cartoon. Technos wasn't actually involved with that game at all, it was made by Leland Interactive and published by Tradewest.
@@Rangaisia That must be it. Thanks!
there was also rage of the dragons which is more garou-esque
Characters are weird in a awesome way💪💪💪💪love the stages so 90s
Was that some freakin FMV on a NeoGeo cart?
The game based on the movie based on the game? I used to watch the Double Dragon cartoon when I was a kid. I thought this was the game based on the cartoon based on the movie based on the game.
That teabag by servebotfrank was hilarious
I teabagged?
@@servebotfrank4082 in the first match unless it was a buffer and the weed thought otherwise either way I know its all in good fun!
@@TSNMLitoFightingGamesPassion Lol, I think it was a buffer. I usually don't teabag unless I really don't like my opponent for some reason.
@@servebotfrank4082 lmao 9:40 it happened looks like it was connection issues
Are there full vods availible for the frenzy? Would love to watch a full one.
Yeah on the Twitch channel it should stay up for the next two months.
Lil bit of lore here : im belgian(french speaking) and the movie was made in france(sorry guys) a known french content maker did a series of movie critics based on the fact that they were video game adapted and this movie was one o them i think they are subtitles available you should really peep this out ! What a horrible game 😂😂😂
The name is « crossed : double dragon
Yea, I was there bck in 95'
"Inexplicably, the Billy Lee activation super does 50%"
My dude.
The game is called Double Dragon, not Double Dulton.
Yes how did u get this game 🤣 loved it on the arcade
Edit: Dulton was my main just loved how is his super was to input plus buff dude throw fiery punches awesome
Man how do you not know this movie!?! It’s so bad it’s good haha. I’m pretty sure it’s available to stream on prime.
Let's see a Bloody Roar 2 tourney.
I'm looking for new fighting games to try, any suggestions outside of KOF SFV MK and smash?
That camera zoom literally gave me motion sickness
Reminds me of SONIC BLASTMAN lol
Ive never seen this game before! It actually looks pretty damn good for the time period. Too bad they never has SNES port.
Unless you are not aware that 1995 already had Marvel Super Heroes, Darkstalkers 2, Fatal Fury 3, Art of Fighting 2, Samurai Shodown 3, King of Fighters 95, etc. Double Dragon wasnt impressive for that time.
I vaguely recall seeing this on the Playstation store because it got a PS1 port... only in Japan I guess? So if you have a PS3/Vita...
Gotta do OMF 2097
I'd like to see old school SNES DBZ Hyper Dimension
Isn't fightcade great? That shit has spoiled the online experience of regular consoles (specially the switch) far beyond repair for me :D
Also, I'm loving this random fighting games content you have been putting out!
Have you guys done super gem fighter?
Was there a short, stubby character with a claw in Double Dragon? I would bet my life a character like that existed, but I can't find any information about him anywhere! Lol
Chin Seimei? He was in the Double Dragon 3 for the NES, both as a boss and playable character.
@@Rangaisia yes I thought his name was Chen!
I love this game it was under rated
I want more
You forgot to mention there was a double dragon cartoon
I hoped to learn how to play. Would you consider making videos for very beginners? This is the only fighting game I have. Thank you.
Hey, not cursed, it happens to be super badass! Sure, we should've gotten another beat em up, which is how it started. Still, it has great gameplay, beautiful graphics, a nice roster of interesting characters. Besides, at least it's a leagues better fighter than Double Dragon 5, which felt like a dollar store World Heroes clone.
Everyone talks about arcades and shit. But real Gs know it all went down in liquor stores in the hood.
Where do I find this game, i love it
You should add something at the end so we can't tell who wins based on the time left in the video
I love this game. It sucks, and I love it.
THIS WAS THE SHIT IN South Asian Arcades
Galaxy Fight please!
BIWWY WOOZE
oooo ya
Burnov slow but tuff af
Techno Japan (not SNK) made some dope games besides VF Gowcaizer and this.
Why is it so cursed? That hideous ass HUD most likely.
