Thank you Justin, Matt, and Maximillian for this walk down memory lane.
Much like Max had stated a lot of my fellow gamer would just copy the codes out of the magazines and then try to input them. I usually did NOT have much luck in the arcades especially when attempting to fight the Ryo in FF2, Mr Karate in AoF, or Geese in AoF2 especially since none of us knew how to get those secret bosses to unlock back then (had to wait for the homeport and pray that they were included). I remember that I had the dubious luck of playing a lot of the players in MvC2 that would use the hidden characters (via the select screen).
Really had high hopes for that 2D version of MvC3 but alas that fake is never meant to be.
Had a lot of laughs watching this episode, thanks again gents.
Please just add ketchup permanently on the show, as a giant MK kid. I feel the MK love and expertise and opinion is missing from the show so hard
Duuuuuuude Tips & Tricks brings me back. We did the same exact thing back in the day. At the grocery store while my mom was shopping, I'd run over to the magazine section and write down cheats on the shopping list.
Mega Man getting a hadouken in Mega Man X that could one hit kill bosses was the greatest secret that turned out to be a reality that I can think of.
We'll never get this experience again and that's kinda sad. I remember having a GameShark code for Diddy Kong on N64 Smash that only crashed the game and trying for HOURS to get it working.
Doa beach volleyball nude code stands out in my memory the strongest.
need a podcast about beat em up games
Akuma gonna be selling oranges at the farmers market in Metro City. Mark my words!
"Chun Li will turn into a giant foot" No that's Juri
I'll never forget this one. In 2004 when I was in middle school, a new kid just moved here and my friend group became fast friends with him.
One day during gym he said his uncle works at Midway and they're gonna start making MKvsDC. We were all grizzled Vets of the "my uncle works at Nintendo" age so none of us believed him.
Long story short, he was very humble with it and we all got free copies of the game lmao
Not gonna lie… the MadMan's Cafe reference activated a part of my brain that's been dormant for the last decade. Used to love going there whenever a new fighting game was doing location tests in Japan to see screenshots and video if you were lucky.
my favorite fighting game rumor was the Super Smash Bro Brawl fan rosters.
With over 100 fighters such as Ratchet and Clank, Agent 47, Rayman, the guys from Contra. It was major copium.
I'm halfway thru but wondering if ff7 play as sepiroth on disc 3 comes up..
I remember this one kid who tried to convince me that Game & Watch had a Mickey Mouse form in Melee. The way he described it was way too outrageous to be true and nobody believed him for a second.
Mewtwo in Melee, Mushroom Kingdom Hearts, and the violent Brawl DLC are the only big rumors I heard as a kid. The last two were obvious fakes thanks to their announcement dates. But for the longest time none of my friends could unlock Mewtwo. I had the most characters unlocked among us and still didn't have 'em, so we were all suspicious if it was even true. It didn't help that Melee had more characters than the actual number of empty slots on the starting character select screen. Rumors were rampant.
Gouken's very first appearance is the Street Fighter Alpha manga back in 1995.
Kabal was an ant eater from what I remember, smoke turned into a bull.
I hope they do an episode on Fighting Game Spinoffs and Spinoff Fighting Games
Onimusha Dawn of Dreams had Street Fighter characters skins
Soki is Ryu, Roberto is Guile, Akane is Cammy, Ohatsu is Chun Li, and Tenkai is Ken
The detail that everyone forgets about the EGM April Fool's joke on Sheng Long is that on the bottom of the very same page they announce that there is a fake article in that issue and ran a contest to see who can guess which one it was. Apparently most entries were not correct.
Can confirm massive amounts of Tips and Tricks usage in my childhood.
Not fighting game related, but I remember SO MANY "Bring back Aeris!" cheats and secrets for FF7.
Regarding Max asking where they got codes from. Well it was quite simple, any codes we didn't get from word of mouth by talking to one another at school/arcades we'd tear the pages out of gaming rags that had the codes in them. Extremely efficient.
I remember that goddamned Akuma code for RE2 April Fools joke. You had to beat the game, both scenarios 6 times using only the handgun and knife and type in the name Akuma on the laboratory computer near the end of the game.
Who has done a Kano transformation in MK2?
Surprised it wasn't mentioned.
Justin hit the nail on the head for me, Sonic in Melee made sense to me as a kid cause of Mewtwo's crazy unlock conditions, lol.
It didn't help that a lot of these fake characters and stuff weren't just printed in EGM, they would find themselves on code and cheat websites back in the day and I would spend a lot of time trying to unlock things that weren't real π
Please advertise this more yo… love this lol
Lmfao, I tried the Pokemon secret too that Justin brought up. π π
This is something I wish newer games had
I remember playing tekken 5 and reading on Internet about tons of tons of characters I didn't unlock (like Armor King or even Jinpachi) and that I had to play the arcade like 500 hundred times in a row
I would like to see more Steeetfighter Gem fighter games with more characters to bring more people in different age groups to Okay as its cute and fun from the originals
Love this Episode!!!!π₯π₯
Remember the hoax in pokemon games yoshi Star ^^ good god ^^π
Cool episode. A little too Capcom-centric though
WAIT is MK RAIN PURPLE becauce of PRINCE PURPLE RAIN???????
Regarding how naive fans can be, back in 2004 or so teenaged me decided out of boredom to make a fake screenshot of Ryo Sakazaki fighting Rolento in Ryu's stage in SFA2, and even though it was very low effort, somehow I managed to convince several people on a forum that the secret was real and Capcom was testing the waters for CVS earlier than people thought.
Love this kind of content, maybe 3D Capcom Games Talk?
I remember an April issue of EGM had a nude code for DOA extreme Beach volleyball. Might have been the sequel. Either way I remember they had screenshots of the characters topless, but with stars covering the characters boobs and all the steps you needed to follow to make the nude code work.
