Streets of Rage 4 has a versus mode with a bunch of stages and a ton of characters. After the DLC every character even has alternate specials and supers, plus a training mode to practice combos. Love that game so much.
God does SOR4 have a VS scene? The main game lifts so much from fighting games but I never really played battle mode too much. Please tell me there's some scene I can find videos on.
shame the ai in the campaign is atrocious and cheats like bastard, it's the only streets of rage game that i never finished and just gave up playing it entirely
If you haven't played it yet, look for Streets of Rage Remake. It's the ultimate SoR game imo. No online multiplayer or anything but it may be my favorite beat em up of all time and the best love letter to the franchise to date.
@@Zontar82 did you know that A SHITLOAD of attacks makes you invicible? The game is relentless if you don't take the time to play by it's rules. And it's much more easier now. If you want to cheese the game, SOR1 characters hits like they hold a truck in each hand
@@Zontar82ngl that's how beat em up games are lmao maybe stop trying to jump kick all the Donovans?
Here's a weird game with a vs. mode: Mizzurna Falls, a Japanese-only PS1 game that plays a lot like Deadly Premonition, where you drive around a large open-world-ish town to unravel a mystery of a missing person.
The developers made a fighting mini game for story reasons (against AI), but decided to have some fun and make a 2P mode where you can fight as almost every NPC model in the town--including a granny in a wheelchair and a nun lol.
And now I know about Mizzurna Falls. That alone gets you a Like from me.
@@SpikeRose No problem! You likely already looked up it has an English and Spanish fan translations patches, but do beware that this game is fairly janky. I believe the documentation overblows the extent of the jank a bit, but it's real lol.
well now I HAVE to play this
@@neo-giu Fair warning: it's not a good mini fighting game; you can't block, crouch, jump, or throw. You can only attack, do extremely basic combos, and dodge. The game also runs at like 15-20 fps in most fights and the input lag sucks even on real hardware lol.
It's still neat for what it is though.
I really wish I knew about this before this video!!
this is going to sound absolutely ridiculous, but theres an arena fighter in Sonic and the Black Knight. The vs mode not only features characters that arent playable outside of it, but also new characters not seen anywhere outside of this mode!
I fucking forgot that was a thing, you unlocked a memory
if only the vs mode was like the boss fights
These 2 videos reminded me of 2 things that are not necessarily FG-related...
- Catherine's VS mode being played at smaller FGC tournanents
- Yoshi's Island has a secret code that allows you to play some mini-games on-demand, and even some 2-player versions. One of them is a hot-potato game in which you have to press a button sequence to throw a balloon before it bursts. The other is a platform shooter in which you have to shoot watermelon seeds at the opponent.
ps3's catherine really got a scene going way back in the day. Sick to think about it.
Since you mentioned Dynasty Warriors, I think it's worth mentioning one of it's many offshoots, Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate has a Duel/Versus mode that's a 3v3 fighter with well over 100+ characters to choose from (some of them being from other fighting games like Soul Calibur and DOA).
sucks how 4 doesn't have that and instead has that weird PvP mode instead
Oh that's cool. I only knew that game had Sophitia in it for some reason lol
Really? Now my Interest is peaked lol
Not only that but iirc it uses a card system of sorts too?
Orochi series had a few versus modes in it, i'm pretty sure one of the older titles before 3 has a vs mode too, because i remember one shotting enemies using Orochi X's Shun Goku Satsu in earlier game's vs mode and they changed his move in the newer games to not have that anymore
@@GuileWinQuote It got a Steam release not too long ago so it's more accessible than ever.
Star Ocean 3's vs. mode with friends was legitimately a really great palette cleanser between hours of going through that massive ass postgame. Love that game, plot twist and all.
The English version of Silhoutte Mirage has a messed up difficulty. Working Designs made it harder and screwed with the difficulty when they translated it for some reason. But yeah its basically Ikaragu + Mischief Makers.
Treasure actually did make a fighting game: Rakugaki Showtime
Unfortunately we will probably never see a port or digital re-release because of a rights dispute between Treasure and Square-Enix (and the fact that Treasure is pretty much dead as a company).
Treasure also made that Yu Yu Hakusho fighting game on the Genesis too.
I still need to… acquire a jap version of shillouette mirage. I bought the eng one back in the day and the changes they did to prices and ammo basically forced farming and not having fun.
@TheCrewExpendable How the fuck did you forget about the best anime fighters on the DS: Bleach:The Blade of Fate; and Bleach: Dark Souls??? Those games were nutty as FUCK and crazy fun (albeit simplistic). They were made by Treasure and published by SEGA. They're actually the reason I'd like to see an ArcSys Bleach game (really anything but JoJo but Bleach and Naruto are my top two).
Out of curiosity I checked and their last game was nearly a decade ago. I'm still kinda mad it was never released in NA even though there was an anime that APPARENTLY got an English dub.
Can’t believe how much I liked Vic Ireland as a kid
Loved Silhouette Mirage
Tenchu 3 wrath of heaven had a fun as hell vs mode where you could play as any of the game's 3 playable characters, a bunch of bosses including shitty generic ones, and they even ported a character from tenchu 2 specifically for it. Definetly had a lot of fun playing it back in the day.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003), a 3D beat-em-up game for the GameCube, has a pretty solid versus mode. When selected, it basically becomes a 3D 1-on-1 arena fighter for up to 2 players. In addition to playing as all four turtles, you can play as Casey Jones and at least SOME of the bosses, who you can unlock by defeating them in the game's actual story mode. In addition, the stages are taken from the story mode as well and can be unlocked by beating them. The gameplay is very similar to the actual game, complete with the characters retaining their original movesets.
The games I know that haven't been covered yet are:
Evangelion 64, a secret vs mode only accesible through a cheat code in the intro of the game gifts you a sort of beta of an evangelion fighter.
Sonic: The Black Knight, "Battle Mode" is a party fighter with no mirror matches in which Silver is broken and you can play up to four people, there are airdashes and the main form of attacking is by waggling the wii remote.
Kung Fu High Impact: Kinect Beat Em Up allows you to control the mooks with joystick to beat up the guy using kinect, there are actual special cancels in this.
Sengoku Basara Series: Rival series to dynasty warriors made by Capcom, many games in the series have a straight up vs mode, the gameplay style is similar to devil may cry, so I believe this needs a community asap.
Dino Rex's tie breaker: dunno what to say exactly here, but it would be really funny to include a secret fighting game inside another fighting game, best part is that the secret fighter is arguably better than the main fighting game.
Much love from here!
Kind of off-topic, but Captain America and the Avengers is the epitome of pre-MCU era Marvel for me. If you weren't Spiderman or X-men, the public had no idea who you were. Whether you like it or not, the 4 playable characters were C-listers at best, the concept that nobodies like Hawkeye or Vision would be on tier with Cyclops was unthinkable. I wonder if people still remember that Ironman was only known as "that drunk guy", I vividly remember that's the most people knew about him back when this game came out.
Imagine telling people back then that Spiderman lived in his shadow, Cap had 3 movies, and the other 2 had TV shows, you'd sound insane.
3:35
The Swordcraft Story trilogy (of which the third sadly remains Japan only) on GBA has one. It's a "Tales of"-like RPG which has a link cable based vs. mode. The first game has an alt version of the already banger boss theme exclusive to it, and I think the second one may even let you control the mech and giant monster that exist for a single plot fight.
Edit: Its been mentioned before on the channel in passing, but MegaMan Battle Network has a vs. mode in every game, and the sixth has a legit competitive scene with fan made rollback netcode (!), and it even had a fairly clever anti-cheat function in the Japanese version (adding a subtle tamper indicator instead of actually stopping modification). Three has a community too, but it uses a fanmade rebalance mod (without it, its too full of insta-kills).
Lost Kingdoms 2 is another Formsoft RPG that inexplicably has a vs. mode. It exchanges the third person of the main game for an overhead, but plays like the main game and even has you import your deck from the main game. Given the vast disparity in card power, I'm sure there's super exploity stuff that can be made.
(Original follows)
Beyond that, two hidden fighters without versus modes (as far as I know):
That random fighting game style fight in Disaster Report 4's epilogue is worth a mention, considering in the main game your character can't actually hurt anyone, but now she's jumping six feet in the air and throwing hadokens.
Akiba's Trip (re-released on modern systems as Hellbound and Debriefed) has an intentionally (!) janky fighting game called "Samurai Kitchen" the player character can work as a beta tester for in one sidequest, then play whenever you want for the rest of that playthrough (the game is NG+ focused). No multiplayer that I'm aware of. The Japan only PSP re-releases of first two Way of the Samurai games by the same developer are more instances of brawlers with a vs. mode, this one going through the trouble of including wireless MP for it.
Wow.
Correction: Only SCS 1 and 3 have a vs. mode for some reason. The first game (at least) does however let you play as almost any monster in the game (a few oversized bosses exempted) against your friend. This is naturally *wildly* imbalanced (some monsters can fly too high to hit, early game enemies have their original stats) but still fun.
"Visual novel game with a vs fighting game mode"
Then there's Asuka 120% Excellent which does the opposite, being a vs fighting game with a visual novel game mode.
I don’t remember if you had it in the previous video, but Guardian Heroes on the Saturn and Xbox 360 has a crazy Versus Mode. You not only can play as all six(?) heroes, but EVERY SINGLE ENEMY, BOSS, AND NPC IN THE GAME. It’s also up to like 6 players on the Saturn, and like double that on the 360 Port. Seriously, everyone needs to get this game now. It’s an incredible game overall.
"Treasure" continues to be an apt name.
The Kingdom Hearts series would be absolutely perfect for including a versus mode like this. (in fact, Dissidia: Final Fantasy actually began development as a Kingdom Hearts fighting game)
Og Chain of memories and i THINK BBS have versus modes!
The recently released port of River City Rival Showdown has Double Dragon Duel as a Vs Mode.
I remember playing the Skylanders Giants VS mode all the time. I hear there's people that even run tournaments for it now, tho admittedly the scene for that is miniscule
That takes me back. I remember running a little bracket for the original Skylanders in middle school after a Brawl tournament. Wonder if people have emulators set up to use any char without the toys, would love to have GuileWinQuote weigh in on if Terrafin was as op as we believed.
@@BaronWarthog A PS3 skylanders emulator like you described does exist! I remember using it a few months back
bro same
I totally remember that now that you mention it! I remember my friend had some insect Skylander that could turn into a swarm of bees and become invincible. It was fun, but definitely not at all balanced.
@@trevoreyre2775 hell yeah, that guy's name was Swarm. I agree it's not at all balanced, like if you get a ranged character you've basically won most interactions, but man was it fun
1:20 If you are looking to get your primal rage fix, there is is an ABSURDLY STUPID/AWESOME Jurassic Park fighting game on the PSX: Warpath - Jurassic Park.
How and why it exists, no idea, but it's actually really fun. Never understood why it got such bad reviews tbh, but maybe I just wasn't taking it as seriously as critics were.
That sounds epic
Do note that, being a PS1 game, it's old. So old that Spinosaurus in it is a weird raptor Allosaurus abomination rather than anything even remotely resembling a crocodile in spite of Jurassic Park literally being the series that put that species into the A-list.
It's even weirder because there's Suchomimus in the game and it's bigger than T.rex and Giganotosaurus, like you'd expect from Spinosaurus.
@@anothenblue2630 I mean, none of them have feathers either. It was the science at the time.
@@warbossgegguz679 that's not as weird, especially in context of someone familiar with Jurassic Park or dinosaurs in fiction in general. Everyone's already used to featherless raptors and such because they were everywhere and still linger, but Spinosaurus not looking at least like JP3 version (let alone any of the more bizarre modern reconstructions) is far weirder because it barely got used until that movie to at least make people recognize the design. The only other work I can recall using the damn thing is Zoo Tycoon.
@@anothenblue2630I know the whole "frog DNA" thing to justify them not having feathers.
I resent it regardless.
It's also worth noting that even today we barely know anything about Spinos. They were in JP3 because the speculative drawing were cool and they were newly discovered at the time, but we have so few specimens to go off of even now that we're still kind of just spitballing.
Oh my god! This is such a great idea for a series!
Please, please, please! I'm begging you! Make more of these!
Its not only important to let people know about these hidden gems that are waiting to be played out there, but - for the sake of gaming fighting game history - it is absolutely essential that someone documents AND remembers the developers who made them!
If for nothing else, please do it for the decades of fighting game fans that just wanted to live their dream and make a fighting game..... only to be forced to make something a crappy movie tie in or a yearly sports game by the publishers.
So glad Silhouette Mirage made it into this video. Happy that I brought it to your attention the last time.
Shame you didn’t like the game that much, but it’s definitely a little divisive since the US port butchered the game balance. Saturn and JP PS1 are the way to go when it comes to playing it, though I still think the US version is fun and has some stuff to appreciate. But only if you get the max level pea shooter in the secret shop in Level 1.
Treasure was always trying different ideas, but not all of them worked well, and Silhouette Mirage is one such example. Its gimmick was much better implemented in Ikaruga, where you can switch polarities on the fly.
@@MagmaMKIII think the gimmick has great potential outside of Shmups. I think that in a more platformer setting the polarity gimmick relying on positioning instead of just being an on the fly switch is very interesting. SM just sadly doesn’t take full advantage of it, and even by the directors own admission didn’t do the best job explaining the mechanic to players.
I think with a wider moveset more tuned to flowing between both sides better you’d have a more enjoyable experience.
@@SuperLegendOfBros something that i figure might help a lot is removing horizontal scrolling, either by locking the camera during fights or going all-out and just making the stages wholly vertical. it's just kind awkward when you're heading to the right to progress and then a bunch of red dudes scroll onto screen, forcing you to jump over them so you can turn around and shoot 'em ... when they're literally no longer in your way, because you just jumped over them
@@hi-i-am-atan Ive toyed with the idea of giving Shyna a base moveset that would help her deal with enemies by giving her other means of either attacking or positioning herself. Since SM also has a 3rd attribute type in Normal, I think that giving her a set of melee attacks in the vein of Treasure’s other output like Gunstar Heroes, Wario World, Astro Boy Omega Factor and even a bit of Kirby could give Shyna more utility outside of just her parasites. A simple up close chain combo, slide attack, jump and dive kick, more useful grabs and throws etc. could do wonders in making her feel a lot more fun to control in enemy encounters and make them as a whole more enjoyable. Not the perfect bandaid and obviously but I think I’ve put more thought than most people into what a theoretical Silhouette Mirage sequel could be.
I definitely want to revisit the game thru the JP Saturn release. I've learned since playing that the NA PS1 release isn't the best.
Man, thanks for the shout out for Dynasty Warriors 3! It was one of two games I had a legit copy, it and Devil May Cry 1. That Versus Mode was my go to for me and my uncle, seeing it has a comp scene makes my hundreds of hours spent on it feel justified
I remember the Monkey Fight modes in the Super Monkey Ball games, but I'll especially bring up Super Monkey Ball 3D's bizarre platform fighter, where a chunk of the cast are just the main characters in different personas and the entire thing is like the coin mode in Smash.
Since you had Turtles in Time in here, also gonna give a shoutout to the versus mode in another turtles game, the first TMNT '03 game for ps2.
If you want a REALLY obscure VS mode, the survival game Don’t Starve Together has an unofficial mod in the which you can play as some of the characters in a Smash Bros like fighting game. This game has everything from 0 to deaths, wobbling, and a secret joke character that is probably worse than Melee Kirby.
Fight'N Rage is (probably) the best modern beat em up and it has a versus mode.
Every game critic in 2007 was obsessed with that turtles game.....
If you count NHL Hitz then You could probably also count Blades of Steel's fighting mini game, which is very simple but has hitting and blocking.
Where do you draw the line between a fighting game and a shooter? Shadow the hedgehog versus mode straddles the line.
One I actually don't hear people talk that often is Lego Star Wars The Complete Saga's duel mode, where you can battle it out with a friend using whatever character you want from the game's roster
I commented my recommendation last time but I'm sure my post just got buried under hundreds of others. I think it's tragic how nobody seems to know about the PS1 Super Sentai games, which I think are some of the most polished and snappy beat-em-ups in the console's entire library. They were obviously Japan-exclusive and were made pretty late into the console's lifespan (2001 for Gaoranger and 2002 for Hurricaneger), which is probably why nobody has ever heard of them.
They basically play like fighting games, except each round you are fighting a horde of about 10 enemies at the same time. Gaoranger (Wild Force) is single-player only - though I'd still recommend playing through it since it's only about an hour long. However the sequel, Hurricaneger (Ninja Storm), has a pretty robust versus mode with several unlockable characters. This second one is easily in my top 10 favorite PS1 games, tons of content and a surprisingly high production value for what it is. I think you'd really enjoy checking these games out!
R.A.D. Robot Alchemic Drive on the PS2, as well as the game it's a spiritual successor to, Remote Control Dandy for PS1, and its own sequel Remote Control Dandy SF on the PS2: All three games are games where you control a giant robot. They all have Vs. Modes tacked on where you can use any robot in the game, including the enemy robots.
Here's an idea - to make a video about strategy games where battles take place between different units in a 2 units vs battle mode. As an example The Unholly War, Archon Classic, Cyber Empires, Wrath Unleashed, Bahamut Senki, Moonstone: A Hard Days Knight
Sonic and the black knight had a versus mode
For reference the other two villains you can play in the NES Captain America game are Crossbones and Wizard
I thought it was crossbones and kang the conqueror 😂I got a snap variant that looks just like that model
7:01 i needed to catch my breath after that flashback omgggg
Best series to discover weird new games unironically lol
The Penguins' Jaromir Jagr was a hall of fame, premier goal-scoring wing; his fighting stat was likely extraordinarily low.
That one from first kiss story is so funny, it looks better than the actualy game haha.
excited to see you spend a couple hundred dollars on skylanders figures to play that versus mode for the next one
I'm a little late to the party, so I'm sure someone's mentioned it by now, but Sonic actually has a couple of VS modes in the series that aren't just race modes.
Sonic Adventure 2 has the mech battles, Sonic and the Black Knight has a small fighting mode, and my personal favorite is Shadow the Hedgehog's vs mode which plays sort of like a shooter death match. It's not super fleshed out but me and my brother are obsessed with it lmao
Was not prepared for the reference to that infamous Woolie video.
X-men Legends 1 and 2 has the danger room mode where you can play as every x-men or even the bosses and enemies. It's a 3D brawler so the mechanics are simple but there's a lot you can do with mobility and the environment of the stages.
I didn't know this. I've had Legends 2 installed on my PC since the disc version is a pain to install on modern hardware. Might take a second look at this.
nothing like a new GuileWinQuote vid on a cool evening
Agreed, I love hearing him just talk about something he thinks is cool
The Dynasty Warriors 3 bit made me remember Warriors Orochi 3, where starting with the Hyper rerelease on Wii U it also has a versus mode. I can't remember much about it beyond it being 3v3 tag team and cards being involved. Warriors Orochi 4 has a VS mode too but I think it leans more on the strategy aspect rather than fighting. Also excited that you might be talking about Avengers in Galactic Storm in the future, part of the community for it.
yeah WO4 versus mode kinda sucks they tried to make it a MOBA almost and it barely works.
The gba port of Yie Ar Kung Fu, within konami collector's series arcade advanced has a 2 player vs mode when connected through the miltitap. It also includes 2 secret characters through the use of a code at the start screen
Def will have to do this if I ever return to the topic!!
I remember playing Advance Guardian Heroes on my GBA as a kid and this game had versus mode too, i'm really surprised that you didn't covered it yet. Great video as always tho.
Saving Guardian Heroes for something else....!
Guile out here with another banger video. Thanks bro!
Star ocean 3 is unironically really fun, but I haven’t seen the consequences of a plot completely mess up a series’ future unless they eventually retcon it
Haven't played it, but looking at it it kind of just seems like a Tales game.
its sort of similar. However, I do like the weapon refining system in the US version along with cool post-game content and 4 potential difficulty modes. IIRC, you can also play the campaign multiplayer and do cool combos on bosses. The canceling abilities together can also get cool strings even at low levels. Also has a lot of built in achievements for doing things like fast boss kills and damageless. These let you unlock both costumes and the shown off versus mode features.
Edit: I also really like the idea of how civilizations on completely different levels of the tech tree interacting with one another and its consequences.
@@warbossgegguz679
As someone just starting the game, I'm morbidly very curious to see what happens lol
have fun!@@sanfransiscon
The game is fun but there shore is a big goofy twist
Thanks for the video! I know Farcry 6 has a really simple but Fun fighting mini game where you collect differant cool roosters and then have cockfights with them!
It was originally going to be included....but the game is in 16:9 and I didn't want to sacrifice the aesthetic this time 😭😭😭
There is a game on the PS1 called Hamster Club-i in which you raise hamsters to then play some mini-games, one of them being a 1 vs 1 fighting game. The hitstun in some moves are so long that I think most hamsters have infinites
Talk about a great birthday surprise! This vid rules like always, GWQ. Congrats!
Holy nuts, it's my birthday too! Happy birthday to us!
@@dnkakusei cowabunga!!
@angelriverasantana7755 @dnkakusei I HOPE Y'ALL HAD AN AMAZING BIRTHDAY!!!!!!
@@GuileWinQuote I did!!! Thank you GWQ!!!
"TMNT4, every 2007 reviewers favorite beat em up" wow that feels weirdly pointed but still very on point XD btw, love the shout out to Woolies famous dilema XD
The Star Wars episode 3 game on PS2 had a pretty decent versus fighting mode too.
He brought it up in the first video
@@omegasmesh Well fuck! I totally blanked that out of my mind, thank you for reminding me though.
Since you talked about ice hockey, Blades of Steel on the NES also had a clash animation which would trigger a short fight match to determine who got the puck
First Kiss Story is godlike, along with the Idol master Million Lives fighting game mode as well(not mentioned in video). Blue Breaker Burst: Egao no Asuni is a fighting game about just the burst breaker characters(plays like Hinokakera). Give it a try if you don't know how hype it is to be able to play as those characters in a real 2D game.
Really wish there was a way to search fighting games based on mechanics or how the visuals were implemented. So many good ones but hard to find one for you... Even hiding in other genres.
My favorite fighting games are those not intended to be such as Smash Melee or Chaos Faction 2. Maybe we should get a video on those, LOL.
For the marvel section, the skull guy is crossbones, and the purple guy is the wizard
It be nice TMNT Shredder’s Revenge had a versus mode since it has even more characters to play from.
RAHHHH TAIL CONCERTO MENTIONED‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
Fun game
Great Stuff, as always!
Thank you for watching 🙇🏼
Surprised I didn't see anything on Mr. Mosquitos hidden vs mode! It's actually pretty fun
Had no idea it had one! Will definitely be checking it out
Blades of Steel is another hockey game with a versus 1v1 mode showing up when you start beefing with another team's dude. Except it's for the NES, and I think it deserves credit for that
For further context on NHL Hitz, the reason there is a fighting mini game is well because fighting is allowed in Hockey (sort of). Both fighters get sent to the penalty box for 5 minutes, you can’t use skates or sticks, but other than that it’s totally allowed. Even if you play EA Sports NHL 23 you can get into fights in it, it’s just a part of the sport
Another excellect coverage.
I'm surprised I never heard about NHL Hitz, looks like a sweet party game.
For Shmup that has Vs Mode, there one Shmup games that has Vs Mode called Touhou Project, despite Touhou games is Single Player Bullet Hell, there Vs Mode split screen in that games back in PC98 era. the first Vs Mode in Touhou game is Touhou 3 Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream release on PC98. later games that has Vs Mode in Touhou games is Touhou 9 Phantasmagoria of Flower View on Windows XP. and finally latest games that has Vs Mode in Touhou games is Touhou 19 Unfinished Dream of All Living Ghost release on Windows 11.
Notes: i'm know that Vs Mode in Shmup games because i read that split screen on Touhouwiki.
Avatar: the Last Airbender - the Burning Earth for the PS2 has a janky but fun fighting game mini-mode I used to play a bunch. And yes you can play as Momo 😎
Evoland is an rpg game where you keep time travelling trying to find a way back. The cool thing is that whenever they time travel not only do the graphics change but a different game genre gets tied in as well!! So as you progress through the story, the game will jump from 8-bit to 3d; from turn-based to a 2D bullet hell; and as you can probably guess, at some point early in the story there's also a pretty clean fighting game segment.
The classic Woolie call out, excellent! lol
While Doom did had a multiplayer VS. deathmatch mode from the very beginning, i feel like it isn't something a lot of people think about when they think about the original Doom. It is also interesting that a lot of the classic console ports of doom also included the multiplayer deathmatch mode with the use of various broadband adapters or link ports. This includes the SNES, PS1, Saturn, Jaguar, and the GBA version.
GBA Doom is imo stands out here, since it includes 8 original maps that you can only select while playing multiplayer deathmaches. I don't think these maps has ever officially been ported to other versions of Doom either, and i also don't think any other version of Doom even has multiplayer exclusive maps like this.
I ran GBA Doom deathmatch as a mystery game at our Regional earlier this year, and it was really fun.
Outlaw volleyball has a mechanic where you can stop the 2v2 volleyball action in the middle of the match and just start a fighting mini game with someone on the other team pretty much at will. Similar to the NHL game, but you just push a button to start it rather than straight up piss another player off.
Shaman King: Power of Spirit is a PS2 anime game. The main story mode is a turn-based strategy but it turns into a fighting game whenever the main hero encounters enemies. Versus mode unlocks after you complete story mode.
Another banger as usual Guile.
I think it applies because of how laughably cheesy it is, but Warframe has a secret VS. minigame on a purchasable item called the Ludoplex. It's called Framefighter and you can obtain all of the playable characters by finding their items throughout the game world. The characters are all of the playable warframes from the game itself. They have one regular attack button and a special that is unique to the character. It also has PvP. It's really janky and honestly kind of bad, but there's a certain adorable charm to being able to play your favorite warframes in a little fighting game as a bit of a minigame between gameplay.
So coming back to this video I actually remembered two more games that have vs modes, Space Sheriff Spirits and Golden Knight Garo, two Japanese only PS2 games based on old tokusatsu shows, (I hope I spelled tokusatsu right) found out about these games thanks a youtuber named Civt, he has a series where he covers obscure PS2 action games to get them into the spotlight for a bit, those real 7/10's that nobody really cares about, and those two were covered of course, he definitely gets a huge recommendation from me.
The rival turf series are beat ‘em ups that all have versus modes, and the last game, The Peace Keepers, has a bunch of completely different characters. You should check it out, its pretty broken, but a lot of fun!
This channel is great 👊
Also Star Ocean 3's VS Mode is literally my dream Tales game, I was looking for a Tales Versus Mode for such a long time outside from Tales of VS and Act Cadenza Strife. I have no idea this existed.
I loved NHL Hitz, played it a lot back on the day. But I think the fighting is basically just RPS. Nothing more simple than that,unless I'm getting confused with the face off mechanics
6:55 Lol bro i was not expecting that Woolie callout
Megaman 7 had a versus mode between Megaman and Bass if you entered a specific password. Basic side-scrolling single-screen platform shooter, although you could double-tap up to do a "faint warp" which was supposed to fill the role of blocking.
And of course let's not forget the Mario Bros. minigame in Super Mario Bros. 3, which during a 2-player game would give you the chance to take "steal" cards from your friend or even take their turn by beating them at a round of Mario Bros.
I remember spending a lot of time playing the verses mode in the Teen Titans video game on my GameCube. The game was a 3d beat em up so all the arenas are 3d too. The roster included enemies that you encountered in the game along with other characters from the show like Speedy, Control Freak, and X. Also, Hot Spot is OP lol.
Less than 1 min in and I seen a ToD...get ready for some greatness.
Tekkaman Blade's Super Famicom game, despite being a shmup, has all the boss fights play like a fighting game... And a terrible one at that. I don't think you can even do special moves.
This was long before he became the most dominant character in all of TvC, which is hugely ironic as all get-out
SD The Great Battle 4 also had a bad fighting game mode for its boss fights.
There’s also the Sega CD Frankenstein game.

Great video, if you have a plan for part 3 i hope you'll cover one of these:
- Fugitive Hunter on PS2, I didn't play it myself but its a FPS that has a 1v1 fighting mode
- SpongeBob Battle For Bikini Bottom, the original PC version that was nothing like a console counterpart, there's a section where you collect gold as Mr Krabs and you have to fight robots in 1v1 match. The whole thing is controlled by a mouse, movement and attacking.
The Super Punch-Out!! port on GC had this little game added to it called Fight Night Round 2. Never really played it much, but it was pretty advanced for its time if I remember correctly. 🤔
Speaking of Super Punch Out it actually does have a really weird VS mode that wasn't found until like a couple years ago.
@@Gatorade69 Mentioned in first video.
Fun fact: The emulator used for Super Punch-Out!! in Fight Night is based on the unreleased SNES emulator "SNESticle", made by the same author who made the NES and Genesis emulators NESticle and Genecyst; which were among the first usable emulators for their respective consoles.
I've never heard about Silent Bomber before this video and just bought this game without even watching the whole segment. It looks amazing.
Not sure if anybody brought it up yet, but the other characters Cap and the Avengers are Crossbones (dude who blew himself up and Wanda got blamed for it in the Civil War movie) and Wizard (a Fantastic Four villain)
Also the devs of Force Unleashed 2 said it was inspired by The Outfoxies!
I'm pretty sure the other characters in the NES Captain America game are the Wizard and Crossbones.
Crossbones I'm sure too but I think the other two are Ultron and Iron Lad
@@HeattokunIron Lad didn't exist when this game out, and I don't he ever used purple, much less *that* much purple. Given the other characters in the game(s) and the make of the costume, it's almost certainly The Wizard.
Wonderful video. Glad to see some hockey represented. The fighting mini-game is in most hockey games and how to win differs from game to game. Generally it is more timing based then just mashing. As for the two characters in the Captain America game, they would be Crossbone and either the Wizard or a Mandroid armour.
It's Wizard.
I played Silent Bombers vs mode a lot, the whole game itself is fun, but the vs mode really was a nice add on. THE PS1n2 era really had a lot of games that had vs modes tacked on, back when local co-op and MP mattered. That J-novel game you mentioned, yeah that was highly impressive for a vs mode, it could be its own game for real.
The Woolie refrence has made you a legend with me sir. He made the right choice.
the versus mode of tmnt 2003 goes hard. any attack can be canceled with a dash, leading to combos/infinites. u can jump out of juggles, but jumping and landing is laggy so its possible to jump out of a combo just to land onto the rest of the string. so underrated fr
Oh man, the woolie story, OOF
Love the mad energy of this videos thumbnail
back in the day it was nice to have these kind of extras. nowadays they will all be paid dlc. please more of these videos!
I love this channel
Thank you for watching 🙇🏼
"Nostalgically sized foreheads" ruined me because you're *so* right
Woahhhh, we’re there dude
Teen Titans (PS2) has a versus mode made up of quite a few heroes and villains from the series and game. Featuring stages from throughout the game. Up to 4 players could compete in a match
It's a fun nod to hockey culture that basically every hockey game made since the Famicom has allowed you to get into fistfights. I'm not sure why it's even a thing but as a Canadian it does feel weirdly nostalgic to watch a hockey fight.
Ayy glad to see Silhouette Mirage get a spotlight here. And nah, nobody's gonna gut you for the Ikaruga mention haha, it was entirely an intentional thing at Treasure. Silhouette Mirage's attribute system is more or less precursor to Ikaruga's polarity system.
Comments mentioned it already but Working Designs did mess up the game's difficulty over in the states which made it harder. It has some stuff to appreciate, but whenever I recommend the game to folks I vouch for the JP Saturn original or JP PSX port (that version has two extra bosses). In the JP versions you'd get the most out of multiple weapons, also will suggest using Shyna's grabs and cashbashing, its definitely really fun to pull off and run the pockets of the threats you encounter.
That Woolie reference made me crack up man!
