Omg ok so I grew up with this game, have put in probably several hundred hours over my lifetime, and I can shed light on quite a number of the things presented in this video. First off, the secret characters are absolutely real, and unlocking Ichiro and War Mech is actually very easy, you just have to make a circle with the C buttons on the intro screen. To unlock Grendal, you just have to make it past The Executioner and you can access him by highlighting The Executioner on the character select screen and holding down start. As for unlocking Pojo, the chicken that Taria transforms you into as part of her execution, I don't remember off the top of my head tbh. Frankly not worth it anyways except for the novelty. This game was indeed fairly popular as an arcade game, I remember seeing it in a cabinet at my local bowling alley growing up. And as an arcade game, it does not make full use of the N64 controller. A and B do the same thing (quick), C left and C down do the same thing (strong), and C up and C right do the same thing (kick). Every single character has a special attack that's activated by hitting both quick and strong at the same time, which is a fairly easy button combination to press, and most characters’ quick/strong are quite good as go-to attacks. You can do some real damage by just spamming that attack with most characters. It seems like you figured this out at some point during your playthrough, but you can block attacks by just moving backwards. It's extremely valuable. I very highly recommend playing as Ragnar, he is an excellent combination of strength and speed, as you can plainly tell by how well the AI plays him. His bull rush attack is easy to execute and very powerful. Personally though, Xiao Long was always my favorite to play, his speed is incredibly valuable against slower but more powerful characters like Lord Deimos. However, the way my siblings and I first beat Asmodeus was by using War Mech, and spamming his quick/strong until the timer ran out. We didn't manage this until years after we got the game, which just goes to show how incredibly difficult of a game it is. However, I did go on to be able to actually kill Asmodeus, and with a variety of characters at that (I remember for sure Xiao Long, Takeshi, and Ragnar, but probably also Grendal as I recall playing him for a while). Personally, I would have given you a pass for setting the difficulty to easy on this one lmao. Spoiler alert: if you have a second controller attached to your console, you are not actually capped by credits. If you hit start on the second controller during a single player game, it becomes a two-player game, and you can do so after you die but before your credits are decremented to cheat extra credits into a run, and then whoever wins the two-player game gets to continue the run where you left it off.
I love these random N64 back shelf titles that have a fan base of like 30 people worldwide but those fans are so diehard they could write the game code out with Spaghetti-O noodles
I played through my twenties, and the skeleton shield bash can beat most opponents. There’s also a few combo lock outs, like the double axe guy can permanently stun an opponent with bash, roll, repeat.
once you have performed taria's execution to turn someone into pojo, you can go on taria and hold start to see pojo and select him. As for Ichiro and the mech guy, i remember rotating the joy stick during the open screen to unlock them.
@@RustyShackleford-p3i the funny thing is that you fight a daemon to the death and the timer runs out while you have a little bit more health than the daemon. At that point the daemon has to be a nice guy and end himself because of the rules.
Doesn't matter to me if it takes you 2 weeks or 2 months to release a new episode... I'm happy to see each one, even if I don't care about the game. This is an awesome feat and life takes time!
It would be one thing if he was beating a game then it taking a while to get the video done. It’s a completely different thing when you are like 100 games ahead of the videos because you don’t want to do the work. He’s just being ridiculous and procrastinating the part he doesn’t like.
We didn't really think anything of it at the time -- the only other games we had to reference for game design were arcade games, which naturally installed timers as a way to push quarters. So when our first home consoles had games with timers, we thought "oh, yeah."
@@banzaisdead For online multiplayer, maybe. For when you were playing with your friends sitting on the same couch, not really. But it's not as if it's a big problem, just a small silly nostalgic detail that shows a bit of immaturity in porting from arcade games.
I like how you didn't even kill or knock out the end boss, but then it's like "Anyway, you drink the bad guys blood from his severed head" or whatever. So, did this super powerful demon just go "judges say you win, so i guess just go ahead and murder me and drink my blood". I suppose that makes him lawful evil?
This was the first time I watched a stream where Thab got genuinely frustrated. It felt really good to see him prevail at the end. Lesser men would have quit.
One thing you can often do in older fighting games where the AI learns your attack patterns like this one is learn 4 or 5 different cheesy spams, and continually alternate between them
It finally happened. The game I've been hoping you'd randomly get sooner or later has been thrust upon you. One of my favourite games growing up but I can imagine it'll be a baffling annoyance to anyone playing it who isn't a football fan and who was familiar with it back in the day. Enjoy!
Beating the games is not what has caused delay on the uploads, since live progress is quite ahead of youtube vids, the thing that has caused delays is the editing process, since Thab has been having some troubles in that regard
I went on holiday from the UK to Florida in the late 90s. Because of the currency conversion rate at the time, it was really cheap to buy games in the US, so I was allowed to buy one game and it was Mace the Dark Age. Also bought a US to UK adaptor for the N64 so it would work on my PAL machine. It's a good game, especially as fighting games on the N64 are not common. Its a very hard game though.
So cool to see you play this game! I got it randomly from a used video game store as a kid and always had so much fun with it but never met anyone else who'd played it. And I never beat it so congrats to you on grinding this one out. The secret characters are definitely real btw, and their codes aren't too bad to enter imo. They even have their own stories too which is neat.
I remember playing this game as a kid. I used to love it! I think it was my Uncles, so every time me and my brother would go over to my Aunt and Uncles house we would play it on his 64. One of those games that took me years to figure out the name of it. Everyone thought I was talking about Mortal Kombat or Killer Instinct. Id look up gameplay for both of those games and say nope thats not it! Cool to see you finally cover it.
The secret characters are easy to get, i still remember it. To get the first 2 you only have to turn the control stick on the copyright screen at the start of the game(2 turns), to get Grendal you have to defeat 5 characters as the executioner and then hold start on him on the character select screen(you can beat them in vs mode) to get pojo you have to do Taria's execution and then hold start on her in the character select screen. NED is just an skin for xiao long
I had this game 😂 Picked it up for like $5 at a flea market in the early 2000s. Wasn't a big fan of it and never wound up beating it. Good on ya for getting through it!
al'rashid is until this very day the most realistic and gruesome fatality ever conceived in game history. it's brutal and impactful. (and lord deimos' fataly is the most "ouch" of the game, sadly you didn't showed it in the video)
Gotta commend you on sticking with the random game selection. To have Zelda so close and stick with a soccer league manager game has gotta suck. Don't worry we'll all keep watching and waiting.
Omg I loved this game. I owned a ton of n64 games and I was probably your age when I played this. It's cool to see a young person experienceing these classic games. Warms my heart with nostalgia. Great content keep it up. Midway had some bangers on this system. Can't wait to see you play War Gods.
Wow… instant flashbacks to my childhood. I loved this game. My dad had 2 other brothers so there was stacks of all games. We use to just sit and play these games for DAAAAYS
I beat my head against the wall with this game for ages when I was a kid, but honestly kinda digged it. I have a curious story bout this one tho, something strange happened that I've never heard anyone else ever experiencing. Me and a friend would play this game a lot, trying our damndest to beat it, but stood little to no chance. We got to Grendal, maybe even Asmodeus once or twice, but that was as far as we could ever get, until one day we just didn't get booted back to the titlescreen upon running out of continues😮 We could just keep on trying as long as we wanted, and eventually after an eternity of begging to higher powers that this glitch or bug or accidentally input cheat code would not just suddenly stop working, we finally beat the game! It was amazing! Later tho, we did realize the trick where you could have a second controller hooked up and start a versusfight by pressing start on the second controller to essentially save a doomed fight, not wasting a continue. This trick is worth its weight in gold btw, but what really confuses me is that I have never ever heard of anyone experiencing a infinite continues glitch in this game. I was very surprised to find out that there seemingly is no cheat code to activate this either, so its looking more and more likely that it was just a fringe glitch of some kind. Makes me think of the warp in SM64 that is currently only explained by a rouge hydrogen atom from a solar flare striking the console or whatever craziness they seem to think that was caused by😂 Anyways, awesome video and good fkn job! Love to see this game getting some attention😊
Not sure of all the unlocksble characters but I know for sure there’s a fighting chicken. I used him a lot, his end story is cool too it where the legend of dragons comes from
best fighting game on the N64! many fond memories of playing this with my brother. There are quite a few secret chars though, always thought it was cool.
This man is putting some hard work in i subbed just because of that weve all scrolled that n64 rom list like yea mabye ill just play through zelda or mario again for the hundreth time
This is one of the games i had growing up. I thought it was so freaking cool, but no one else knew what it was, and my friends who tried it just wanted to play mortal kombat
Played that game a lot as a kid and loved it so much Lord Deimos was my logname in internet at that time. Some of the secret caracters are very fun. There is a version of Xiao Long as a street sweeper with a broom as the weapon
they have actual combos and abilities in this game but its so damn hard to remember them plus executions similar to fatalities in MK. you can also unlock 4 characters, grendel the 2nd to last fight but Asmodeus is genuinely OP.
I swear your videos and commentary gets better with each video. Never played this one before but you had a solid game plan. The only thing I didn't like about this game was they let a bread Knight commit suicide. I don't even think in mortal Kombat any of the players were suicidal (I could be wrong, more than likely). Keep up with the phenomenal videos. I'm rooting for you to accomplish your goal. Keep doing you Each subscriber should be able to double like 👍 for this video for the week
One of my first N64 games i was like 5 it started my love for fighting games i absolutely loved this the characters the boss Grendal is one of my favorite characters. Such a great game
Next time you get stuck on a fighting game, see if you can change the behavior of the training dummy. That can help you learn how to counterattack or open up a blocking opponent.
Hey man, I think it would be really good if in the intro, you show your reaction to seeing which game you will play. People really like reaction videos. I'm not sure if there was a way you could figure that out, on a wheel or something 😄 thanks for the great content 👍
Fighting games are all similar in that they have certain inputs like quarter circle + button for special moves that are universal, this is for 2d fighters mostly but some 3d fighting games have them, in 3d fighters it's more of a direction + attack button or a sequence of directions/buttons, there are also fighter archetypes zoner, rush down etc.. Learning the archetype and how to use it, the special moves and a couple of combos will get you through most fighting games on normal.
So to date myself, I owned this game. Yes, they do have a few hidden fighters like a dwarf in a steam punk meck thing, you can use the chicken as a fighter and even grandel ( only way I beat it) great job!
Most fighting games (especially the older games) have CPU opponents that read your inputs, so they'll know exactly what you're about to do and respond accordingly. It's not easy to win if you don't know how to handle that. Nice job.
You have to finish this with every character for the real ending. And yes the special characters are real. Don't worry though, you have done enough, I wouldn't ever subject you to the agony of completing the game with every character.
This was one of my favorite games growing up; can 100% confirm the difficult wasted many hours getting so close. My main character of use was Al Rashid his 7 or 8 hit combo was easiest to hit and land ha.
This video has everything you ask from a fighting game video. Player growth interesting discovery "Pick a Top Tier" Boss Fight Nonsense Boss Fight Cheese Bravo! If you dove into a game/the genre, I bet you'd be better at Fighting Games than you give yourself credit for.

Aaaaah I wanna play this game so much 😮
Hilarious that you defeated the end boss badass demon Lord because the referee said "Okay stop stop... Y'all outta time"
i imagine a skeleton with a referee shirt yelling at them ! xD
the funny part is i found that the 2ed time fighting him. but i was able to kill both rounds it did not go to time
And the demons let him drink his blood after the referee called the timeout. Honorable guy this demon.
The skeleton speaking in ebonics makes it "hilarious"? How so?

This was the first time I watched a stream where Thab got genuinely frustrated. It felt really good to see him prevail at the end. Lesser men would have quit.
Pretty sure this game is more of a puzzle game and that's why he was having a harder time with it.
I mean if you haven't noticed by now, he's not the most skilled gamer around unless it's mario. Nothing wrong with that but it's a fact.
Thab, I feel your pain. I used a GameShark to be Invincible in this game. I played on the hardest difficulty, and had a DRAW against Xiao Long.

Next time you get stuck on a fighting game, see if you can change the behavior of the training dummy. That can help you learn how to counterattack or open up a blocking opponent.
Hey man, I think it would be really good if in the intro, you show your reaction to seeing which game you will play. People really like reaction videos. I'm not sure if there was a way you could figure that out, on a wheel or something 😄 thanks for the great content 👍
I’ve personally been waiting for this one.
One of my favorite games on the N64! My dad and I used to play it all the time!
Fighting games are all similar in that they have certain inputs like quarter circle + button for special moves that are universal, this is for 2d fighters mostly but some 3d fighting games have them, in 3d fighters it's more of a direction + attack button or a sequence of directions/buttons, there are also fighter archetypes zoner, rush down etc..
Learning the archetype and how to use it, the special moves and a couple of combos will get you through most fighting games on normal.
This was a fun vid. I liked the lore that went with each characters death.
MACE WAS ONE OF THOSE N64 GAMES WE WOULD PLAY OVER AND OVER. ITS A GOOD ONE
So to date myself, I owned this game. Yes, they do have a few hidden fighters like a dwarf in a steam punk meck thing, you can use the chicken as a fighter and even grandel ( only way I beat it) great job!
one of my best childhood game ! it was great to see you give it a go :)
oh wow. i DO remember this now! loved the character diversity
This game has really good animations for the time. Never thought about that until watching this video.
Never beat Mace, but it was fun just playing with friends.
What was most fun was both players jump in the lava and fight like that.
Most fighting games (especially the older games) have CPU opponents that read your inputs, so they'll know exactly what you're about to do and respond accordingly. It's not easy to win if you don't know how to handle that. Nice job.
This was one of my favorite games on the n64. Peak late 90's edge.
You have to finish this with every character for the real ending. And yes the special characters are real.
Don't worry though, you have done enough, I wouldn't ever subject you to the agony of completing the game with every character.
End boss looks like the demon off the 1987 movie- THE GATE. Worth watching
This was one of my favorite games growing up; can 100% confirm the difficult wasted many hours getting so close. My main character of use was Al Rashid his 7 or 8 hit combo was easiest to hit and land ha.
Great to see you continuing the journey.
This video has everything you ask from a fighting game video.
Player growth
interesting discovery

Bravo! If you dove into a game/the genre, I bet you'd be better at Fighting Games than you give yourself credit for.
Can’t wait for Killer Instinct Gold!!!!
Yay thanks Mr. Beast!

Really like this video! Mace was a game and you played it, awesome 10/10
Got me an ice and juice watching some good stuff
