@@AsianBoah Me too guys, but unfortunately, a remake of The Warriors game it could be difficult due to the copyrights of the movie and the permission of the actors to appear in the game once again : ( but I also want this old mechanics of Bully fighting system in the game, I really love both games.
The combos look so cool. I also really like the odea of the clique members having their own counters against surprise charges like what Peanut did. I can imagine any of the cliques doing moves like that, except for the Nerds, which is obvious.
Bullies : they actually can't predict attack, but from my imagination. They will grab "hand or leg" and it will be grab mode so they can followed up by punch on guts, face or knee attack on face. Preppies: they very confident and cocky, like chad do. But the damage are very little, but they rarely counter and usually dodge. Greaser: seem they're martial art user like Vance, left, Ricky, peanut, lucky and johnny. Their counter will be "parry plus" if they do counter move, they can stunned jimmy and followed up attack. (Sometimes parry minus where they throw Jimmy to the ground) Jocks: they Quite rare block, but they counter are damaging, if Jimmy throw a punch, jocks will use they shoulder to Reflects the punch make Jimmy stumble back or stunned. Townies: street fighting counter, or they will take Jimmy down to the ground aggressively. Most of the counter take opponent down then stunned.

The fighting style here is hella lot more in-depth than what's already in. Fighting would've been a lot more fleshed out and impactful for sure. Making a Crowd in fights literally a "Life and Death" Situation if you haven't mastered the whole evasion and Repost effects. Hell, your opponents could Evade and Repost you if they wanted to, seriously turning the table on the fight fairly quick on ya. Fairly making Gym Class and The homeless Man Teaching actually impactful to your Fights. Shame this was nothing more than a Concept, not even shown to barely anyone within the Studio and Development. Plus I love the little Spit Effects as your duking it out, really adds into the whole brawling. I swear, the more you look into Bully and it's Deleted Features. the more your start to realize, Bully was a pretty much rushed and Hastily put together game for some reason. My guess to please the Media and the Rating System. Whatever it is, such a Big Ass shame. I seriously wish Rockstar added a lot of the Deleted Content and Features back into the game with their Scholarship Edition.
Even game development can be political. Back then it was. Now a days its a bit easier. But I'll remake this again and even better in the next few years

rockstar created the bully right after GTA San Andreas to get money to deal with the lawsuits against the game that's why they were in such a hurry to release the game 😕
I like this aspect of bully beta combat. The combat is more of what you would see in a real fight like dodging and slipping also caching punches and countering them.
Things like this are the ones that make me feel sad about videogames. 1.- The PT Silent Hill game was never released 2.- Dante's Inferno never got a sequel 3.- And this awesome fighting mechanics were not used in Bully at the end :c
as much as i love the bullies fighting theme (prob my favorite song in bully tbh) i couldn’t imagine an alternate universe where it played for EVERY fight. it’d get really tiring after a while
This fighting style was still being made at a very early point in Bully’s Development, so I’m pretty sure they would have def changed it to the normal fighting music we have now. Besides, it’s not like the fighting couldn’t have existed without the music being changed, so good chance they would have changed it
Yeah tbf I don't think anyone at Rockstar would've thought about making that song play in EVERY fight, that'd be a real dumb decision at least during the 2000s
jimmy is also using a different strafe in those clips they are different than the one in the final version. it's similar to the jock's one but not the same. maybe it was his beta strafe, it's also used in welcome to bullworth after defeating wade, when russell runs at jimmy in the cutscene
Dennis mentioned that it's a strafe that he uses all the time in animation tests so it was most likely never part of the actual game. I'm pretty sure they recycled the Jocks fighting idle for the cutscene after you defeat Wade.
(2 years late, but a good find.) I'm wondering as to how this could've been implemented if they approved this. I could imagine a more extensive list of moves taught by Grant and Burton, but I also understand the fact that not every kid in a high school would be able to counter and weave. It wouldn't be that far off though, considering the fact that Grant claims to have been in the military. A bit of CQC perhaps? Anyways, this was a great piece of Bully development history. Thank you for showing this.
This is so good I wish I'd never seen it, now every time I play Bully I'm only gonna be able to think of the game that could've been. And damn but those animations look smooth for such an old game. Also, isn't that charged punch used by some jocks in the final game? you know, the one that does no damage for some reason.
Dennis said that he knew that this thing wouldn't be approved so it was never gonna be a thing to begin with. And yeah he's a really talented guy, he animated all of them by hand, without any use of motion capture. Yes that's the same charged punch, you can see Jimmy and Peanut using it, probably for testing purposes.
Hopefully we are gonna have this type of fighting style in bully 2 for jimmy even with the same punching sound effects they Sound sooo powerful and satisfying
My imagination each clique counter : Bullies : they actually can't predict attack, but from my imagination. They will grab "hand or leg" and it will be grab mode so they can followed up by punch on guts, face or knee attack on face. Preppies: they very confident and cocky, like chad do.

Townies: street fighting counter, or they will take Jimmy down to the ground aggressively. Most of the counter take opponent down then stunned.
i talk with Dennis the last month, and he never like much work with rockstar, is one of the reasons for wich he left the company apart from having another ideas, but as least we can view these styles, anyways Bully without that moves still being the best fighting style on a word open game for me.
Sleeping Dogs it's better because it has the same mechanics of combos but it have counterattack too. And it is more cool because of the martial arts style. But if Bully had the fighting mechanics of the video it surely would be the better fighting mechanics of most games..
So many things are still unknown in the game. I've been wondering whether Bully beta assets havent been reused in later R* titles. Just like you could find that beta CRX from Vice City in Manhunt iirc.
Manhunt 2 and I think Vice City Stories for the ps2 were the last games using the Renderware engine, so there's a chance that some assets are in either of those games.
@@deadpoolXYZ @deadpoolXYZ saying this its too bad VCS hasn't recieved a mobile port. Those are known to have more leftovers than original releases. Although its worth trying to look for something. I'm just not sure which version is better to look for it PSP or PS2.
@@KISSbestfan if you want a gta game on the go, PSP is the better choice but if you want it with better graphics and with a large screen, PS2 is the best honestly
damn, Bully could've been one of the best fighting games back then, not only the cool fighting mechanics, but animations that were never used as well, like Johnny doing Tae Kwon Do. I would have gotten Jimmy do the Dempsey Roll. Bully could've easily been some Lookism/Questism/My Life as a Loser type shit, were basically most students, if not all, were fighters/martial artists. that damn Gary vs Jimmy final battle could've easily been a Yakuza style fight
@@吗4啊16 yeah i tried to implement some of those mechanic (attacking) by using custom mod so basically i can do all the fighting styles to jimmy it was fun but its nowhere close to this because i was only able to combine some of the fighting styles into jimmy
Dennis said that he made them on his own PC and only like 3 people saw them, they were never official, imagine it as a proof of concept. I wanted to talk about them but since they are not official it didn't matter. Dennis explains what's going on in the original clips.
@B. All clips are in the description of the video. The notes added by Dennis are hard to read most of the time, especially since the clips are old and the quality isn't very good.
Ah yes, Dennis Opel's modifications to Bully's fighting mechanic. All very well made and well thought-out. Maybe we'll one day be able to mod them in. Maybe we can see something like this in the future sequel, if it ever gets here.
We can do a mod, problem is who the fuck would use it? It'll only get like 1k+ downloads and honestly it's not that much for such effort, so most likely nobody would do it
Hey deadpoolXYZ at 1:00 when Jimmy is fighting a jock. The area there in is that some sort of beta train station or something? Because Bully was originally supposed to be much bigger and have an train jimmy can use for transport? Just saying that its really cool
Since GTA VI trailer was released two days ago. What if they bring Jimmy's alpha fighting style into the new game? Better late than it being unused and it'll definitely have an big influence from GTA IV because GTA V fighting mechanics were terrible to the core.
That would be logical for Rockstar to. I don't know what was the reason she didn't put a new fighting system for Jimmy like they did with CJ from GTA San Andreas

Bullies : they actually can't predict attack, but from my imagination. They will grab "hand or leg" and it will be grab mode so they can followed up by punch on guts, face or knee attack on face.
Preppies: they very confident and cocky, like chad do. But the damage are very little, but they rarely counter and usually dodge.
Greaser: seem they're martial art user like Vance, left, Ricky, peanut, lucky and johnny. Their counter will be "parry plus" if they do counter move, they can stunned jimmy and followed up attack. (Sometimes parry minus where they throw jimny to the ground)
Jocks: they Quite rare block, but they counter are damaging, if Jimmy throw a punch, jocks will use they shoulder to Reflects the punch make Jimmy stumble back or stunned.
Townies: street fighting counter, or they will take Jimmy down to the ground aggressively. Most of the counter take opponent down then stunned.
I have a relatinship about love and HATE for this game.
Hahahahah me too the story is soo cool but the fight stile
i cant stop watching this for a reason
Neither can i😭
Because it's so satisfying to watch
Honestly I would’ve sacrificed the final game look for the beta/alpha moves and just have realistic fighting with the previous goofy graphics lol
Same lol
Opening up this video and immediately seeing Jimmy piece up one of the jocks like Mike tyson was great and I wish they kept this style of fighting
Man the fighting looks like kurohyou and now I’m mad that I never get to play bully with the fighting looking like this
i talk with Dennis the last month, and he never like much work with rockstar, is one of the reasons for wich he left the company apart from having another ideas, but as least we can view these styles, anyways Bully without that moves still being the best fighting style on a word open game for me.
Sleeping Dogs it's better because it has the same mechanics of combos but it have counterattack too. And it is more cool because of the martial arts style.
But if Bully had the fighting mechanics of the video it surely would be the better fighting mechanics of most games..
No point in seeing it partially if we will never have it XD sadness.
Cara você aqui
0:24 OLOKO UM JIU-JITSU DO NADA CARACA !!!!!
someone should recreate these movements
This would be cool to see in Bully 2.
0:14 This would be a great animation for a grab!
So many things are still unknown in the game. I've been wondering whether Bully beta assets havent been reused in later R* titles. Just like you could find that beta CRX from Vice City in Manhunt iirc.
Manhunt 2 and I think Vice City Stories for the ps2 were the last games using the Renderware engine, so there's a chance that some assets are in either of those games.
@@deadpoolXYZ @deadpoolXYZ saying this its too bad VCS hasn't recieved a mobile port. Those are known to have more leftovers than original releases. Although its worth trying to look for something.
I'm just not sure which version is better to look for it PSP or PS2.
@@KISSbestfan if you want a gta game on the go, PSP is the better choice but if you want it with better graphics and with a large screen, PS2 is the best honestly
@@MAKEOUTHXLL I was referring to the cut content, not the playability. But thanks!
@@KISSbestfan for cut content, i suggest you the psp version since it’s the original one.
The fact that this is during development of PS2 games, a console that release in year 2000 blown my mind!
damn, Bully could've been one of the best fighting games back then, not only the cool fighting mechanics, but animations that were never used as well, like Johnny doing Tae Kwon Do.
I would have gotten Jimmy do the Dempsey Roll.
Bully could've easily been some Lookism/Questism/My Life as a Loser type shit, were basically most students, if not all, were fighters/martial artists.
that damn Gary vs Jimmy final battle could've easily been a Yakuza style fight
Swegta sent me here deadpoolXYZ thanks for uploading this deadpoolXYZ
Is there any mod recreating this fighting mechanic on those clips?
Nope, Unless the one who made that Fighting mechanic give the File or something to public so it can be modded in the game
@@吗4啊16 yeah i tried to implement some of those mechanic (attacking) by using custom mod so basically i can do all the fighting styles to jimmy it was fun but its nowhere close to this because i was only able to combine some of the fighting styles into jimmy
Just why in the fuck wouldn't Rockstar approve this?
now I really want Bully 2 instead of GTA 6
0:16 jimmy was punch into a the eggs
That spit effect is so cool! Is there any mod for that?
This is genuinely as close as it gets to like how actual like fight will get if their experience enough
I expected Deadpool to talk about those sweet evade & counter-attack animations
Dennis said that he made them on his own PC and only like 3 people saw them, they were never official, imagine it as a proof of concept. I wanted to talk about them but since they are not official it didn't matter. Dennis explains what's going on in the original clips.
@B. All clips are in the description of the video. The notes added by Dennis are hard to read most of the time, especially since the clips are old and the quality isn't very good.
@@deadpoolXYZ even if not offical that's some fucking cool shit right there
In the beginning part. I really wanted it to be real or had a mod for it was going to be really cool
Ah yes, Dennis Opel's modifications to Bully's fighting mechanic. All very well made and well thought-out. Maybe we'll one day be able to mod them in. Maybe we can see something like this in the future sequel, if it ever gets here.
Yeah actually I think this could be added into the game via mods. Maybe Dennis could help to do that? I mean he literally modded it lol
@@paquito4147 We gotta make it worth his while though, Start a kickstarter maybe?
We can do a mod, problem is who the fuck would use it? It'll only get like 1k+ downloads and honestly it's not that much for such effort, so most likely nobody would do it
Algo me dice que Bully iba a ser como Deff Jam, pero en un colegio estadounidense.
Bully modders, please make this happen
Man this game is so old the modders don't touch him
They cant really mod this in custom animations dont exist yet so we are stuck with regular in game stuff.
Even if we never get our hands on a sequel I would love a full remaster that includes a lot of the cut content
The team of the next installment of the "BULLY" franchise should take serious notes on these mechanics.
0:09 wow awesome dodge
Take a drink every time the bully fighting music starts
if this fighting style was added instead of the final fighting style the age rating will change
I would have enjoyed the game a bit more if the combat system was like this.
that jimmy fighing style is crazy and cool
I wonder if it will be possible to restore it somehow by asking for the codes from those who made it
I think the bullies theme sounds like Skin Therapy by Mr.Dibbs, but more agressive
A bit of the Bullies theme is based on Dig Your Own Hole
by The Chemical Brothers.
I shouldn't have deleted the files. I should have put it up for download,
there is something that can restore ur files
If you ever restore it. Please, share it with us
@@wellesleymussolini6993 So far I haven't even been able to download it. It seems like it can't be restored because everything was erased.
@nycolasnascimento conseguiu? Tô falando com o dennis opel para ele tentar fazer isso pela comunidade!
Solta esse donwload ou arquivo
@@Jr_arjhow is that going?
Hey deadpoolXYZ at 1:00 when Jimmy is fighting a jock. The area there in is that some sort of beta train station or something? Because Bully was originally supposed to be much bigger and have an train jimmy can use for transport? Just saying that its really cool
It's just the autoshop.
@@deadpoolXYZ Aw ok LOL
please tell me there's a mod for these animations to make them functional but not replaced, rather, added
Sadly custom animations aren't possible yet, you can only work with the stuff that's already in the game.
Wait what?!? This fighting system is crazy good! Why didn’t they go ahead with this
Damn the old fight animations looked so smooth
Simply the best fighting mechanic I've ever seen.
Bro the fighting style so smooth
Best boxer in the world.
Dude this litteraly looks like the most realistic fist fighting of any game tbh
Each punch has so much fucking impact that’s crazy
@@rapereggae7961 it’s impressive
What about Sifu, have a good one too
@@misterboxhead3045 it’s good also yeah have a great day
@@吗4啊16shitfu lol
jeez this should have existed to the game it looks cool
Since GTA VI trailer was released two days ago. What if they bring Jimmy's alpha fighting style into the new game? Better late than it being unused and it'll definitely have an big influence from GTA IV because GTA V fighting mechanics were terrible to the core.
you can see he was in shop and the jock was there.
those sounds dear lord they sound good
I used to think Jimmy could learn boxing as his freeroam attack during the chapter 2. Kinda disappointed
That would be logical for Rockstar to. I don't know what was the reason she didn't put a new fighting system for Jimmy like they did with CJ from GTA San Andreas
@@Inimigodaindisciplinaa lot of content was cut for Bully during development. Who knows? They probably had that in mind.
Also if you spawn another jimmy and fight him you can hear the bully's theme
Jimmy with fast brawler fighting style should've been the thing
