It’s the little touches that make this game amazing. I love how Ryoga looks around before he starts fighting because he’s lost and has no idea where he is & how Ranma receives a Geography credit for defeating him. lol.
Without the Ranma- gender insta-swap , the story element and driving force of the humorous Manga/Anime is simply ruined , , , why did they bother with USA version at all, , , ,that censorship Roadblocks the story , isn't Rumiko Takahashi supposed to have Artistic control over her IP as game releases ???
This was the first fighting game I ever owned, brings back a lot of memories. At the time I thought it was amazing. Look back it is truly awful! Still, back then anime wasn't as big of a thing in America, and I loved how exotic and different this game felt.
The music is so good in this game. I remember I got this game from a candy store arcade that sold used games for like $5 dollars used, the Japanese version. I had to get a converter to play it. I played the hell out of it.
Only time I finished this was with the panda in 1994. It was the first time I played it, was at my uncle and aunts house. I tried playing it recently and it turned out to be pretty hard.
Not quite. The spring Pantyhose fell into had a yeti riding a bull holding onto a crane and an eel. Yeah it's...out there but it worked, which is why he has this chimera form when he gets splashed by water. As for his name, that's actually the driving force behind his character. An old man named Happosai was around to help his mother to give birth to him. Unfortunately, he's also a very raunchy and perverted man and...well...gave him that name. He's been trying to get changed back ever since.
Principal: “…But playing hooky is no way to go through life, son! Sorry, no extra credit!” Ranma: “What!? You tricked me, you JERK!” **tosses the principal out the window**
Ranma 1/2: Hard Battle (SNES Longplay) - JAPAN 🇯🇵 0:00/15:42 Language: English 🇱🇷, Japanese 🇯🇵 December 25, 1992 List of Ranma 1/2 video game 🎮🕹 By Viz Media
If this game had been released in the US by Irem with the characters replaced to make it a sequel to Street Combat, what kind of animal would Tyrone from the first Street Combat have become and what would the plot for the game be?
Games like this make me wish I had an SNES. I would love to have a fighting game based of Ranma 1/2..... even if Ranma's voice is awful. By the way, I love how they actually called him Pantyhose. Considering that this is an SNES gamethey could have just called him Taro, but nope, Pantyhose! I love that!
I owned this game back in the day!I don't remember how you get to it, but there's another fight after Taro where you fight Happosai on top of a giant statue of Principal Kuno!
Because this was the 90's and 16-bit and before Samuel L Jackson, Troy Baker and Jennifer Hale had gigabytes on the market. Come on kid. Are you upset cave people didn't have throw pillows?
A year late in responding but back then there was no interest in getting the actual voice actors, especially for a dub to voice their video game lines. It was so normal back then that I remember when in the arcades I heard the actual X-Men voices from the cartoon in the first XMen fighting game (Wolverine) I was actually in happy shock. Having different sounding voices in a game was so ingrained in us all the real voices stood out utterly in the best of ways. It's also why some of those early Dragonball Z games after 2000 were such a big deal because they had the actual english cast.
It looks pretty bad, but at least they managed to include some of the fighting styles and personality of the source material. And honestly, 10 fighters isn’t that bad for a fighting game made barely after SF2.
In fact, there were 13 fighters, you could unlock the two versions of Pantyhose when you beat the game and there was a cheat which you can unlock Happossai. Great game in my opinion.
er, it's up there for me really. tbh i havent seen all that much anime yet, i'm fairly new to japanese anime series. only watched 3 series so far (DBZ, Kenichi the mightiest disciple and Rosario+Vampire) so yeah thats pretty damn weird, and what do you mean "part of the time"?
thanks for the nastalgia trip m8, i used to be insanely good with shampoo on this game, i could beat anybody with the purple haired chic, my friends used to hate it when i picked her.. lol ah memories.
If Irem had gotten the rights to this Ranma game for a US release and changed it to Street Combat 2 by replacing the Ranma characters with different characters, what would Tyrone's animal form be the equivalent of Genma's panda form?
Recuerdo que tenia este juego en mi SNES en su version japonesa cuando era niño. No funcionaba bien el cartucho pero al tiempo llegue a entenderlo incluso en japones
There are 3 that I know of on the Super Famicom. The first got localized in the US as Street Combat, so I didn't even know it was a Ranma game until years later. This game is the second one. The third game wasn't released outside of Japan, but it looks and plays quite a bit better. EDIT: 3 fighting games, but I just remembered there's an RPG too, which is also Japan-only.
The weird voices seem to stem from the voice samples being extremely bitcrushed and compressed in order to fit on the cart. Some companies did this really well, but the localization team definitely did not do a good job here, and as a result, it ends up sounding bad. The actual dub is completely different than what the voiceovers in this game were. Interestingly enough, original copies of the game also included a volume of the manga.
RANMA Is the Incorrect Pronunciation of this Anime! It's Actually Supposed to Be Pronunced RA -N- MA. Like Chips n Dip. Or Cats n Dogs, Or Like Cookies N Cream. We in the US Pronunce this All Wrong, Once Again It's RA - N - MA
Hey at least we got this game in the early 90's too. Was extremely rare to get anything like this on the snes. Isn't it the only or one of the only american snes games based on anime to come out here?
Ranma fell into a cursed spring sparring with his father while they were on a trip to China - Ranma is cursed to turn into a girl when hit with cold water, likewise his father is cursed to turn into a Panda.
Nope. His name is Pantyhose Taro and he was named by Happosai, the secret final boss of the game (You only fight him if you choose Pantyhose or his Cursed Form). His story is that he wants to change his name to something other than Pantyhose. In the manga, he decides to change his name to Awesome Taro.
Sounds like Ranma had one too many Marlboro packs.
SaitohYatate and two bottle of vodka
can´t spot laughing!!
Pantyhosetaro sounds like he’s drowning lol
I know it's been 5 years but holy shit my guy. Still hilarious
And the other one in first battle sounds like they drink bud light 😂
It’s the little touches that make this game amazing. I love how Ryoga looks around before he starts fighting because he’s lost and has no idea where he is & how Ranma receives a Geography credit for defeating him. lol.
Ranma sounds like he's 40
I used to play this all afternoon with my friends but it wasn't until years later that I fell in love with the manga.
Remember I had this game as a kid and no frickin' clue what it was about
i modified my SNES to be able to play Famicom games back in the 90s and had this game and played with my friends, so many memories
Ranma 1/2 is a work of insane genius.
sadly, it looks like this game doesn't have the water transformation element: Ranma male/female, Ranma's father old man/panda etc.
Rumiko Takahashi is a great mangaka. I like her mangas
Without the Ranma- gender insta-swap , the story element and driving force of the humorous Manga/Anime is simply ruined , , , why did they bother with USA version at all, , , ,that censorship Roadblocks the story , isn't Rumiko Takahashi supposed to have Artistic control over her IP as game releases ???
...i was 9 years old when i got addicted to this game. I am now 35.
This was the first fighting game I ever owned, brings back a lot of memories. At the time I thought it was amazing. Look back it is truly awful! Still, back then anime wasn't as big of a thing in America, and I loved how exotic and different this game felt.
For 1992, it seems quite good. Both graphics and combat gameplay are decent. Jumps are not as floaty as the first snes game. Controls are decent too.
No it's not. It's great.
I had this also and had a love hate relationship with it. We all knew it sucked but didn’t want to believe it.
this was one of my first fighting games as well so when i hear someone who has even heard of this game blows my fucking mind lmao
The movements feels a bit off but it's definitely a decent game for it's time
I see this and all I can think is being 8 yrs old, eating gummy worms and riding bikes.
7:02 the best fight in this game
Lol
I like when he sits on the opponent and farts.
7:03 that fat panda always made me laugh.
🐼 “Hahaha!”
Netflix have remade the anime. Gemma the panda is pretty funny in it.
The music is so good in this game. I remember I got this game from a candy store arcade that sold used games for like $5 dollars used, the Japanese version. I had to get a converter to play it. I played the hell out of it.
Brings me bacc to when I was a kid watching my older brother play this game day by day and beating it.
What did you think of the show as a kid
CD-i Link: "I WON"
IM A DOODIE CAN!!!!
Hadoooooooooooooooooken
"IMMA GOOF HIS HAIRS!"
Was makoto from street fighter inspired from akane?
Sucks that Viz couldn’t use the Ocean Actors.
Oh I'm quite certain that Viz had nothing to do with the English voice work in this game.
Only time I finished this was with the panda in 1994. It was the first time I played it, was at my uncle and aunts house. I tried playing it recently and it turned out to be pretty hard.
OMFG these american voices...
I remember sitting in my friends basement with 6 other kids in the neighborhood and just playing this game for hours. Really good times
This might make any 90s/ late 80s baby cry…we were so innocent back then 😭🥲
I remember when I was a kid my friend order this game from Japan because they didn't have this in the U.S that time pretty cool game
Ranma sounds so freaking weird.
English dub are shit.
For real
Not quite. The spring Pantyhose fell into had a yeti riding a bull holding onto a crane and an eel. Yeah it's...out there but it worked, which is why he has this chimera form when he gets splashed by water.

God dang. I remember the theme song after all these years.
Principal: “…But playing hooky is no way to go through life, son! Sorry, no extra credit!”
Ranma: “What!? You tricked me, you JERK!” **tosses the principal out the window**
Not really nice to trick people with something that sounds too good to be true

And at 9:45 he proposes again. And if you don't know the story you don't know if I'm joking or not.

@goduskychris Chris Godusky Street Combat was an adaptation to another Ranma game. This one actually did make its way to the west.
lol the sounds from this game are so funny, might play it just for the heck of it

ukkyo was always my favorite in ranma
How could they mess up Ranma this bad? None of the characters voices sound anything like they did in the anime and thats both Japanese and the dub
Because this was the 90's and 16-bit and before Samuel L Jackson, Troy Baker and Jennifer Hale had gigabytes on the market. Come on kid. Are you upset cave people didn't have throw pillows?

did the voices in the english dub of the anime actually sound like this? as in the same voice actors?
Not a single one of them.
How I wish this was on the Switch... always wanted 2 play it...
Emulate man lol
@@cauliflablue3076 I guess. Know of any good emulators for Steam Deck?
I loved this game as a kid. I was kind of into the Ranma anime
Now for your final challenge: use your attacks WITHOUT saying their names!
Wait, when was this release in North America?!
Yes I had this game
9:42 Shampoo's Stage.

Hahah I loved this game. Thanks for sharing!

Um what happened to Ranma's voice... xD
... A Snes game dubbed...? A FUCKING SUPER NINTENDO GAME, ENGLISH DUBBED!?!? *Shots himself*
What does he say at 3:49?
Hiryu shorten ha
@@Uno-je2cc Sounds like haddien hoosenhoff.
He's only a panda part of the time. Besides, with all the messed up crap that goes on in anime, is a panda for a father really that strange?
If you beat it on hard you get to fight this tiny old man boss at the end.
Ranma's balzac finally dropped.
Who is top tier in this game?
I remember finding this in import shop japanese game. Was fun
Wish I could find this
A copy has been sitting at my local game store for years for only 15 dollars. I ended up buying it yesterday
eBay for cheap man lol
thanks for the nastalgia trip m8, i used to be insanely good with shampoo on this game, i could beat anybody with the purple haired chic, my friends used to hate it when i picked her.. lol ah memories.
I'm watching in 2018
Este juego me lleva a mi infancia
good grief, you think ppl would be steering away from that blasted spring...
If Irem had gotten the rights to this Ranma game for a US release and changed it to Street Combat 2 by replacing the Ranma characters with different characters, what would Tyrone's animal form be the equivalent of Genma's panda form?
Oh, if only! Sounds like a fun romhack project someone could take up!
I had this game! looks very nice but the gameplay is kind of broken
Recuerdo que tenia este juego en mi SNES en su version japonesa cuando era niño. No funcionaba bien el cartucho pero al tiempo llegue a entenderlo incluso en japones
Never knew there was a Ranma SNES game

EDIT: 3 fighting games, but I just remembered there's an RPG too, which is also Japan-only.
There was supposed to be a localized sequel named after the second season called "Anything Goes Martial Arts", but it was cancelled.
Se ve chido pero faltaron el montonal de personajes XD
como hacer los movimientos
Today I tried this game in an emulator and won with Ranma and Akane
This is one funny ending and cool battle
Do you westerns have this kind of dub for the anime too？No offense but this sounds kinda wierd
Nah, Ocean in canada dubbed the series. These were just for this game.
The weird voices seem to stem from the voice samples being extremely bitcrushed and compressed in order to fit on the cart. Some companies did this really well, but the localization team definitely did not do a good job here, and as a result, it ends up sounding bad.
The actual dub is completely different than what the voiceovers in this game were. Interestingly enough, original copies of the game also included a volume of the manga.
That voice acting though. 😂😂
Ranma should is next character in Street fighter
Un quart d'heure 400 francs à l époque ^^
It's be great if you had a choice at the beginning and take the exam if you refused
If his name is "Mousse" why does he turn into a duck?
Because mousse isn't a fucking animal you moron. It's a hairstyling product.
@@TheRealPsychoetry Then why doesn't he turn into styling foam? Now it makes *LESS SENSE* !!
@@hannahmonteiro9229 Then why doesnt he turn into a moose?
Genma turning into a panda and Ryoga turning into a little pig species makes more sense?
@@CassioFranco0211 then why do they not turn into a Genma and a Ryoga instead? I'm confused again
probably will once you get my own place here soon enough, place is too noisy most of the time.
Pasa el room
"Dad?" wait what? uh HUH??? okay, mind's blown...
Ah I remember this game!
The versus mode was more fun imo, since you had more characters to pick (including Pantyhose).

this wasn't even a ranma game originally
Please elaborate
Great videogame
Ranma fell into a cursed spring sparring with his father while they were on a trip to China - Ranma is cursed to turn into a girl when hit with cold water, likewise his father is cursed to turn into a Panda.
That's one complicated gender swap for him and his dad as a panda
"rather bad" uh, excuse me, but what the fuck did you just say?
This game IS NOT FUCKING BAD. It's actually pretty damn good.
Oh no he beat Akane. See her at the battered woman's shelter. I love this anime so much
Wait...did anyone miss the fact that one of the opponents name is Pantyhose and that theres CRABS walking around ROFL !!!
Nope. His name is Pantyhose Taro and he was named by Happosai, the secret final boss of the game (You only fight him if you choose Pantyhose or his Cursed Form). His story is that he wants to change his name to something other than Pantyhose.

@@GameAlicornLuna And Happosai promptly changes it back.
English voice sounds awful.
lol
The japanese dub is way better as they used the voice actors from the anime which was on TV at the time.
I'm guessing VIZ couldn't get the Vancouver guys to do this quickly.
Not at all and I wish they did since the series had a great dub.
Navi, The Real Fairies Queen Former YANG. It is bad....as in Zelda: Wand of Gamalon/Link:The Faces of Evil-bad!
You should have played it on very hard so you could have fought that tiny old man in the end LOL.
Респект. 👍👍
Rather bad? this games was amazing!!!
Nah.
It's fun tbh
I personally think Chougi Ranbu Hen is better, but that's just me.
@@Taneuma_563 I mean combo wise but idk about model wise tho

Why did they put king and gosunkugi in the roster. There are way better fighters like Happosai or Tatewaki Kuno.
For the bizarre variety, I would guess.
Hapousai is a secret char
where is Kodachi and Kuno??
