So you're telling me that people like Siba and Janet are secret characters, but the fucking giant floating bear is just a regular part of the roster?
No, edge boy. Kuma-chan is also a secret unlockable character. Although hes easier to unlock.
he's secret in vipers, but available from the start in megamix. in that crazyness of a roster he's just not qualified anymore
@@WhatIsMatter101why isn't he in the video then, jackass?
@@WhatIsMatter101so why isn't he in the video showing off ALL the unlockable characters in the game then?
@@aclonymous he is part of the main roster. Sitting comfortable on the Vipers' side of the character select
Smash Ultimate: EVERYONE IS HERE!
Fighters Megamix: How cute. PALM TREE FROM AM2 LOGO. Can Nintendo do THAT?
you could probably create one
I mean, ROB and Mr. Game and Watch are basically the equivalent of that
*Sakurai:* I made a Piranha Plant playable!
*Suzuki:* I made the car from Daytona USA playable, blow me.
Tobal 2 with 𝟮𝟬𝟬 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 says hi
Aoi: Who are you?
Janet: I'm you but with gun.
Side note: Aoi from VF is the only character that can counter every attack. She is the only one who can counter headbutts, back attacks, double fist/feet attacks, stomach attacks and full circulars attacks. She can even counter down attacks when she is on the ground.
I'm honestly surprised she didn't get included in DOA5 with the other VF characters that were included what with their countering mechanics, then again she'd probably be OP
@@MoonlightStrider Us in the VF community use to joke she would have been OP and busted if she was added. 🤣🤣🤣 Cuz DOA was damn near made for her. Lol
She is a practitioner of aiki-jujutsu after all, makes sense that she can do those things. Cool stuff!
Counters OTG?! 0_0
@@Ramsey276one Yep. If you Knock Down Aoi and you go to do a down attack (everyone has this). Aoi can counter you. She pushes your attack away and she can get a guaranteed launcher. But it's risky. If you bait her out, she is left open for an stupid long time.
It is extremely baffling to me that the devs of both Marvel vs Capcom 2 AND Fighters Megamix decided to randomly add completely original sombrero-wearing green bean-like creatures to their crossover games for no fucking reason at all
Japan probably just really like sombreros. And who can blame them? (Funnily enough, of all the secret characters, Deku's weird self is the only one I forgot--I guess Hornet stood out more to me.)
90s fighting game devs, absolutely and completely unorovoked: Sombreros really go well with green
MVC2 was developed on SEGA's Naomi arcade board, maybe it's some kind of a shout out to them
Deku is from Samba de amigo, a Dreamcast game released way after fighters megamix.
Amingo's second cousin once removed.
To be honest, I'm thrilled that the upcoming MvC collection will introduce Amingo to a new generation of players. I always loved that guy.
Siba's theme in this game was the VF3 intro music to serve as a teaser for that game as well. Very interesting character.
This is the single greatest upload CZcams will ever see. Can’t say how happy it makes me seeing Fighters Megamix get the appreciation it deserves
Love these historical deep dives into games I've heard of but never played. The fact that they made the car playbale then thought "No, it's not crazy enough" and made the armor shedding mechanic is truly "wild balance."
In these days where a new character takes 6 months or more to develop, you gotta love the 90's "yeah we did it in a week" secret characters.
Also in the 90s the whole vibe of the gaming culture and the game making conditions motivated companies to work on whatever crazy ideas they wanted. Everything was too new and just looked too excited, there were no strict guidelines or established concepts... everything was in progress, in formation.
Also that whole atmosphere gives a feeling of devs who were having fun and expressing that with a nice and contagious sense of humor. Like, nobody in the whole company discarded the absurd ideas because of a preconception (that didnt exist back then but exists now) that a game must not push the level of ridiculous beyond a certain point.
But then if we bring the topic to our hardcore games, that level of freedom and sense of humor is what gave us things like: The peculiar humor of MK, that is m-rated, hyper violent, and yet it is goofy like a cartoon and clearly done that way on purpose. Also the definition of the "Capcom humor" that we see in the goofy animations of Darkstalkers, SFA/SF3, Jojo, Pocket Fighter (that would never had existed in another age). Also the idea that TK would use fighting animals, Mokujin, and all their stories and endings.
Nowadays everything have to be more serious than in the 80s-90s. Not that everything became fully serious, but it's hard to deny that the sense of humor is exactly the same. I really miss the freedom and sense of humor of that age.
With exploding budgets and the push towards high fidelity and "realistic" visuals it gets harder and harder for creatives to justify wacky characters. Weird and out of place crossovers are a thing more than ever, but usually as paid DLC.
It can be hard for true creativity to thrive in such a high-cost environment.
Okay, hold on-I've always known this game as just being "lol car and palm tree funni" but there's actually a TON of cool stuff here!!! I mean come on, an unused character making his first appearance with a game mechanic from a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT GAME?!?! That's so cool!!!
No way, never knew you could land someone on top of the cage without breaking it
Yup. Cool detail from Fighter Vipers proper.
Did you also know you could actually get a ring out in Last Bronx too?
Desk out here with a deep dive for a cult classic SEGA Saturn fighting game that has never been ported. You're the real hero, Desk. The realest.
Oh hi Digi valentine
Bean was supposed to be Bin in Sonic the Fighters originally, but since his 1p and 2p colours are Blue and Red, they didn't want him to look the same as Sonic or Knuckles, so went for green instead.
A pleasure to see you around, Guru Larry 😎🤟🤗
@@alessandrobaggi6129 thanks bud! :)
I've said it before and I'll say it again gosh darn it- Sega should make a modern version of 'fighters mega mix '. Can you imagine this game but with modern graphics, characters from an even wider scope of the sega universe and refined completely overhauled game play based on the most up to date virtua fighter engine ? That could be incredible. Actually , I'm surprised sega hasn't done this yet- that could be a massive hit. I'd play it!
If it makes too much sense and $$$ Sega won't do it.......
Alis from _Phantasy Star_ would fit right in, in a way. She cameoed in _Segagaga,_ along with her entire party, so…
And they could easily add more sonic characters- Imagine adding bean and bark but not SONIC THE HEDGEHOG
27:00 I'd like to add this factoid: An issue of EGM Magazine (I forgot the exact date--probably Spring or Mid 97' issues, I think. . .I HAD a copy of it) actually released that "censored" Candy portrait from the Japan version. It was a 2-fold spread page interior, the very same one, including TASTE OF HONEY tagline.
Here's another "fun" fact. Honey/Candy is apparently 16. Ruh-roh. Haha.
@@saxmanmel Nice
I probably bought that issue, and probably didn't care at the time
XD
A fighters megamix video? What's blessed day. My first crossover fighter
This game deserves a modern remake & a revival. This is basically Sega very own King Of Fighters & it should've became it's own franchise
Thinking about it now, a modern game would have Yakuza and maybe even Persona chars, and that would guarantee good sales. Not exactly to match Smash numbers but still good enough to become a franchise with sequels and all.
Impossible with how bloated budgets and quality standards have gotten in the industry
@carlosaugusto9821 Since when Persona or SMT are a SEGA property? 🤨🤨🤨
@@alessandrobaggi6129 Since after Sega bought Atlus (the company who produced Persona/SMT games)
@@alessandrobaggi6129They own Atlus.
We need more weird fighting games and weird characters, just like Kyanta 2
May I recommend to you Waku Waku 7 or Power Instinct: Matrimelee?
The answer to KOF 94, featuring the same logic of converting characters from other genres to the fg form. That was one important idea created by SNK, that established a whole game design school in the history of the genre, that ended up giving us brilliant creations like MvC's Strider (easily the highlight of the Capcom side of MvC1). But this game maybe was too wacky for the time. It came before other wacky ideas like Pocket Fighter and Smash Bros.
Yep like the insanity of Marvel Vs Capcom 2 instantly. It's actually crazier than everything mentioned.
Not wacky for Japan. MvC 1 or 2 had a Japanese version only character that was like a geeky gag celebrity, but in America they kept him out of the game.
If you watch some 90s anime, there are scenes of the characters playing fighting games with kanji alone as the fighter avatars. One anime that comes to mind is Martian Successor Nadesico
I love these videos! Painstakingly researched with a clean presentation, and a sick guitar solo at the end. What more could you want?
This is one of your best videos ever. And that's saying a lot.
Wow! A combo video without any cancel on by default. Ah, that's pretty nice.
Having your neck snapped by a fighting palm tree is not normal... but in Fighters Mega Mix, it is.
Wake up baby, another Desk video just dropped
Very satisfying how a lot of 3D fighters of that era let you blast the opponent through the wall at the end of a round
Great video. 23:03 Mr. Meat cannot be from Golden Axe as all characters are references to AM2 games. It could be a reference to the meat health bonus from Arabian Fight (which it indeed looks very similar).
fuck yeah megamix. desk you're the goat
also huge respect for the incredible gameplay. those ura bahn combos... double DP's timing sure is tight
Finally some quality content on CZcams! I always believed Deku was an early concept/design for Amigo from Samba De Amigo.
AM2 must've been smoking that good shit when they were working on this game.
They smoked all the good stuff in mid 90s
Ah yes, this gem of a game! To this day, it STILL has my favorite method of unlocking characters: Certain Arcade Routes lead to a secret character fight after defeating the boss of said Arcade route.
This video was amazing. So much info thrown into this vid. I would love to see more vids on the Hyper mode. Thank you for this
This game looks ridiculous. I love it. Glad to see these types of vids on this channel again! Also that outro was sick!!
Omg I used to love playing this stuff as a kid, can't believe it has even more shit hidden that I didn't know! Good work as always desk! May someday we see VF and vipers crossover someday 🙏
Not related to secret characters per say but...
The saturn port of Fighting Vipers 1 also had a hyper mode. And an arranged mode which basically makes it FV1.5 (additional moves and such). I think the Vipers' characters in Megamix are based off of the arranged versions.
Potential combo vid maybe?
Having seen many others of your videos before, I can just say that the completeness and attention to detail that you put in them is one of a kind. I can only hope that you keep up a work as good as this! 😊
Omg this game Last Bronx and Toshinden Remix were my favorite fighting games on the Saturn as a kid 😂
12:44 oof, her back. She ain't walking after that one..
Glad to see Fighters Megamix getting some love and Sonic the Fighters to :D
SEGA 3D fighters are such a lovely goofy gem of series to play
I like the intro music in the beginning it’s perfect with this video your a genius
😢I played this game alot as a kid and i rememeber unlocking these characters and taking them to practice mode and none of them had a move list. I am seeing alot of these moves for the first time. That sword combo with Siba looks crazy
Whaaaaaat? I played this so much when I was a teen and had no idea about Bean's teleport and references to Bin in Dynamite Dux!
I wish SEGA make some kind of follow up to this. It's about they make their own crossover fighting game series, similar to Smash Bros.
that outro.... wow
Loved the guitar cover at the end, Awesome vid!👍
Awesome video! Love your work.
Thank you for lookin into this game😭 This was my childhood
love these deep dives, desk. thanks sir
Glad I stayed for the Outro! Great video as always, Desk!
If you hit your opponent on a wall stage with a move that knocks them upwards (Bahn's DP is a good example) you can actually hang your opponent on top of the wall. Me and my cousins would always try to do this to each other playing this
Thank you for this. Fighters Megamix really needs more eyes and people giving it flowers. Also can someone convince Sega to actually bother porting this to current platforms? I'll give them money.
The remix of VF3's Intro/Siba's theme at the end was tight. So dope to see you cover this game. It's somehow infamous and under-discussed all at once
Great video! I had no idea some of these characters were in the game
A nearly half hour video? Dude, I watch these on sight. You're killing me here (with love)
I come for the fun game facts, and am always given a banger ass sound track to enjoy. Thanks as always desk!
Great tone and phrasing on the outro solos!
Excellent video, like always 🔥🔥🔥
Happy FriYAY...another Desk Video!!!
Love the guitar at the end
Wonderful video on an absolute classic. I still own a copy of this game to this day, my first crossover experience.
Before Smash Bros. we got Fighters Megamix and it's STILL awesome!
Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Fighters Megamix come out before Virtua Fighter 3? Or maybe they were both developed at the same time. To me, Janet came before Aoi and so forth. But I could be wrong.
I like how you use both Vf and FV modes. You’re good at the game !
Amazing video, what a great find
one of the best videos made about this game.
really good
Your best video yet. This was epic.
Sega, please give us a new crossover fighter! I've been begging for almost 30 years!
really dope vid dude
Man, I used to love this game. Weird seeing desk content about it, but I appreciate it!
Damn the quality put into this video!
The way ura bahn punched candy and she landed on top of the wall all bent 😮
I can understand Honey’s pin-up getting censored.
But *not* Tokio’s. Why rob us of a beautiful man showing off his body?
…at least they’re consistent.
Oh OF COURSE you're sad that the male fanservice got censored but are ok with the female one getting censored.
But hey at least they knew about gender equality, am I right?
Equal opportunity censorship
Tokyo's 16 yo just like Candy.😂
RentAHero is the craziest char for having the chance to lose his moveset in match
Maybe it was just in the review copies but I recall that you could also unlock a "Ukulele Honey" alt as well that was pretty much just Honey again but with Raxel's guitar smash move.
Janet was my first polygonal crush even before jill. both are so badass.
what a trip down to memory lane
23:52 Mr. Meat is a cold ass MFer, holy shit lmao
Holy shit, I've been playing Daytona USA for years and didn't even realize that the manual transmission Hornet had a different color.
Janet
Referring to the VF kids as super deformed versions of the characters instead of chibi-styled is hilarious to me for some reason
Chibi *IS* super-deformed, though.
Great video.
To be honest, you are very careful in introducing the hidden characters this time. Among them, the coconut tree trigger condition requires several hours of play to use, and the little easter egg introduction of your most beautiful character is also very detailed. I also hope that one day Enough to play the remastered version of this game😄
I would think I was stoned if I saw someone playing a game of a car against a palm tree
Great research 🎉
One question that would be interesting to answer, would be whose moveset Hornet takes. It obviously fights as if it has human limbs and a head, so did they give it the moveset of an existing character?
Bahn's iirc
Bahn
Does this make Hornet an Auto-Bahn?
@@arielgonzalez008Nice one
@@arielgonzalez008 Urrrgh just take my like and get out! XD
Hornet the race car fighter is the most funniest thing I've ever seen in fighting games 😂
0:34 Aoi cosplaying Virtua Cop 2
XD
Rented this a few times from Blockbuster and loved it! Didn't realize there were so many extra characters.
Bgm cover love
Good video. During the 90s, my teen self enjoyed this game.
Look at the LENGTH and the GIRTH of this desk vid
Yooo, bean and fighters megamix!
This is why I pay for internet.
Is incredible how much love Sega put in their games
01:10 Heh. After learning that Janet is based on Aoi, now I only can picture Aoi pulling out a gun too. Thanks for the vid, Desk. I played *a lot* of this game as kid, so it was great to see it again. Great outro too.
A headline for Mike Jack in VF3, would go crazy.
I wish sega would bring this back to modern times
HELL YEAH OPEN THE DEADGATE
Nice! I loved Fighters Megamix and always wish we'd get another one. Then again, the other fighters are dormant, let alone VF itself...
Now that we are getting Marvel back. Ther should be a series on the bosses characters and bosses combos.
In case anyone's interested, Bean is a woodpecker and Bark is a polar bear.
Sonic really died at 3:40 because the camera couldn't keep up.
Wow good catch!
This game looks awesome :D
Edit : Epic guitar solo ending GOOOOO!
the only game where you can have a piece of meat fight a car or a palm tree.
