    Considering Ultraman towards the future is considered one of the worst fighting games ever made, the fact that the original Ultraman game is even worse scares me.

    So basically, it’s like playing the first Street Fighter with a worse version of Playstation All-stars’ victory mechanics but your opponents are all bosses from SNK games and you have to play as Glass Joe whilst 8bitbeast’s haunted house plays, also occasionally someone runs up to you and hands you a game boy with gradius.
    But hey, at least you get 16-bit Ultraman crucification.
    (Also the reason the were so many SD games probably had to do with 8-bit graphics not really allowing for much detail, so they had to simplify the designs to make sure they were recognisable, either that or it was just a thing banpresto did in the 80s, idk.)

    I remember getting so frustrated with Ultraman Towards the Future as a kid as I could never get past the first stage. Back then, I didn't have an instruction booklet, nor the knowledge of the level 4 finisher, so it caused a lot of problems. Great coverage of the 3 games

    Dear friend, because of you I have begun weekly watch parties of Ultraman. We have named it UltraMondays.
    However my thirst is not quenched. Are there any series that could be watched ‘out of order’ without disrupting the joys of watching them all in order?

    • @ZaGorudan

      Cool to hear!
      A lot of shows fit the bill. Mentally throwing a dart at a dartboard of shows, Tiga and Gaia are solid shows standing on their own without broader context of the whole franchise. Again, plenty of options, hard to pick just one.

    I liked Ultraseven, so much I did a Livestream on Expert difficulty after I practised it, because while the Fighting-Game aspect is kind of shallow as you'd say, I kind of liked how I could view it as some sort of puzzle game, it's weird but for example, you say Dally is the first wall in the game, but when he dives upward to try to land on you, just use the Barrier and he gets 2 or 3 hits from the shield, and he would get fooled by it everytime. Each bosses, I needed to find a flaw in their pattern, although for sure for a quarter of the fights, it was all about reflecting shots then running away for the Finish meter to fill up. I also really liked the musics of the last few levels, in contrast to what you've said about Reconstructed-Pandon's. Lastly and funnily, when I used Windom against Pandon 1 in my Livestream, he freaking kicked ass.

  • @Irrelevant402

    16:37 Actually according to GameCenter CX's episode on it, you actually can use the Barrier to damage Dally if he dives at you (which is unlike the show, there, he didn't even move that much).
    Ultraseven has a cheat also; if you score more than 250,000 points, enter your high score name as "RND" and you get a stage select code.

    Ultraman Powered on 3DO beats the hell outta the trilogy on SNES and what they shoulda aimed for tbh.
    When you beat a monster in that game, they stop on their tracks and being dizzy and seconds later, Powered would automatically shoot his Specium Beam at the defeated monster. It was a standard fighting game but had things better than the SNES trilogy.

    The games are bad I will give anyone that argument. But I still enjoy them as an Ultraman fan. I use to resent them a lot, but I look at them as more of a strategy game, more than a fighting game. You just have to learn patterns and methods for each of the monsters. But some of them are damn downright unfair. Bulton and Zetton are just hair pulling monsters that would make anyone transform into their own version of the AVGN. I never understood why they never went with a side scrolling beat-um--up game for that generation of Ultra games. Worked for King of the Monsters 2, which I still adore to this day. Even if Cyber-Woo is waaaay overpowered with his flying attack.

    Ultraman Towards the Future was my introduction to Ultraman.
    An exactly not a good one.
    When i was 8, in a store near of my house they had this 50 cent and 1 mexican peso arcade games with 100 games. 50 cents (10 minutes game play), 1 peso (15 minutes gameplay). I saw Ultraman, got my attention, locked just the Power Rangers (the megazord battle one) i played and holly jesus christ how pain in the ass was that game!
    I leave Ultraman in a bad name for a gooD time until i saw Ultraman Tiga & Ultraman Dyna on VHS in a video Store.
    That end up beaing like a mouth wash to the bad taste that Saban Masked Rider left...
