Up First, Master Chief from Halo
"Why He Won't Show up: Simple – he's Bungie's baby. And unless Bungie makes some sort of superstar deal with Nintendo under Microsoft's nose (or at least comes to an agreement over the long-rumored Halo DS port), he's bound to stay in Microsoft's corner."
"It's A Shame Because: We'll never see Samus Aran vs. Master Chief."
Fighting games and music have a long and storied history together. Here are five of the best fighting game stage themes throughout video game history.
Tekken Tag Tournament 1 Arcade OST - Nina Williams
Street Fighter 2 - Ken stage, Ryu Stage, Vega (Claw), and Guile
Street Fighter Alpha 3 - Karin theme
Tekken 3 Arcade OST - Hidden Characters Theme
Super Street Fighter 2 - Fei Long CPS1 version (found on Hyper SF2 A.E.)
Tekken 2 Arcade OST - Kazuya and Devil theme
Marvel vs Capcom 1 - Strider Theme, Ryu, and Roll
Should be some tunes from the first Mortal Kombat in any list tbh.
I really like the use of Mozart’s Dies Irae in Wolfgang Krausers stage in Fatal Fury 2.
Developers should always strive to make their products as balanced and fair as possible. Sometimes, video games feature a incredibly overpowered characters that just break the game.
You may have head of The 7 Deadly Sins in Christianity, but what about The 7 Deadly Sins of Game Design? Jason Capp is here to break it down.
Ya, find three items, kill three mini bosses, go to three dungeons. Things of three is a tired video game sweet spot number.
For me, it's collect-a-thons. They weren't fun in Donkey Kong or Banjo and Kazooie and they still aren't fun now. Why create these wonderfully oversized, detailed worlds if you are going to just supplement gameplay with ambiguous item fetch-quests.
There are exceptions, of course, But by and large, it just shows laziness on the part of the developer.
Good article, by the way!
Yeah. It is funny some of the design decisions made by developers. Another one that irks me is unskippable cutscenes, especially after you die after the cutscene and are forced to rewatch the unskippable cutscene AGAIN. I mean, who thinks that a great idea?! haha
how about not allowing cutscene skipping
that's flat out inexcusable in any game in the last 10 years
this comments are demanding a "The 4 Horsemen of The Apocalypse of Game Design Flaws" sequel
Actually few of his argument stand no ground.
im saying this because ZELDA is no fighter either yet she kicks and punches.
Game and watch wasnt a fighter.
Ice climbers are no fighters aside from the Hammer smashing.
Olimar is no fighter. ETC ETC.
And the only potential character would be Conker...but thats my opinion.
I feel dumber after reading those character pics. Niko from GTA4... Altair...
Looking at Master Chief makes me want to barf(seriously),I seriously hope he isn't a characer in SSBB,I really want to play the game later on this year,infact SSBB is one of the biggest reasons why I am buying a Nintendo Wii,please don't let this be/come true
Dumbest article of 08.
Hmm, I think Samus would kick Master Chief's @$$ (No offense to Halo fans) Her suit is just awesome, and those upgrades that you get throughout the games make it even cooler.
