May 2023 Edition - Rayman
Rayman launched an empire of cartoonish platformers, became one of Ubisoft's first unofficial mascots, and spawned a race of parasites so vile, they even threatened the Mushroom Kingdom. The hand-drawn hero made up for a lack of a body with excellent animations, psychadelic level design, and an incredible amount of detail to distract you from some brutal platforming and bosses. Originally intended to be a Jaguar exclusive, the first Rayman adventure fell onto the scene in 1995 for the PlayStation, Saturn, and PC, eventually being ported to a variety of handhelds as the horsepower became available. Beat Rayman or any of its ports to earn the Rayman badge: {imgt}https://i.imgur.com/... 89 66{imgt} |
April 2023 Edition - Golden Sun
Golden Sun was published by Nintendo in 2001, shortly after the launch of the Game Boy Advance. Calling back to the best RPGs of the 16-bit era, it was at the time one of the largest RPGs to ever launch for a handheld. The game is remembered years later for its unique magic system which uses spells not just for battle but for navigating the world and solving puzzles. Beat Golden Sun to earn the Isaac badge: {imgt}https://i.imgur.com/... 80 80{imgt} |
March 2023 Edition - Virtua Fighter
Virtua Fighter released in arcades in 1993 and is widely-considered the first 3D fighting game ever. Its character designs and fighting mechanics have gone on to inspire numerous other fighting games that followed. Sega developed home ports of the game for its Saturn and 32X consoles, and followed up with a Virtua Fighter Remix re-release that improved the graphics.

From what I understand, everything after you get the airship back after It happens is optional, but you're going to have a hard time with the final dungeon and boss with your party in such a state.

This is correct. You definitely want to do most of the world of ruin sidequests. You technically could skip the tower, but you'll miss out on some things. Some good treasures (a strong piece of armor, and a powerful relic specifically), but you'll also miss

So is the original VF the only title in play for this month? I was thinking maybe 2 would also count or even the majority of the series. IIRC there isn't a story mode in the original, nor 2 actually. I got both titles packed into my Saturn (thanks MTV promotion!) when I got it for Christmas of '96, both are good but I put a ton more time into VF2 and played as Leon.
So we just need to run the arcade version? Would you consider opening up the badge to the whole series? I've been thinking of playing 4, 4evo or 5 recently.

You can play the original arcade version (which MAME oddly doesn't support) or any of the ports or re-releases. It's three different titles (Virtua Fighter, Virtua Fighter Remix, and Virtua Fighter: 10th Anniversary) across five platforms (arcade, Saturn, 32X, PC, and PS2). You'll get a badge for each character with which you beat it.

Broke my GOTM dry spell and finished the arcade release of Virtua Fighter on my Astro City Mini. I used Akira.
image
I knew that I was going to have a hard time with this. I've barely played any Virtua Fighter, and the one time I did, I got my butt handed to me on the third stage. I'm still not quite sure how I made it through this time, other than dumb luck. Like getting two consecutive simultaneous ring outs against Lau that the game somehow decided to hand to me.
The final boss is optional, I guess. I fought her/it once and lost handily, then tried again and won, but I didn't get a different ending or anything. Maybe in the console version.
Speaking of, I'm going to play the Saturn version next. Or maybe the Windows 95 version, if I can get that working on my retro PC.
Also, the arcade character portraits are cleaner, so I'm going to remake the Akira badge using arcade assets before I give it to myself.

I’m using the Genji Glove-Offering strategy to obliterate my enemies. Doesn’t work in the Cultist Tower, though.
And hey, I even got to rename the king of Figaro. Xives wasn’t working for me, so his new name is Trige. Had Shadow (named Icqong) survived into the World of Ruin, I’d give him the name Xives.

Some combination of swords with Genji + Offering killed the final boss with one command in one of my playthroughs. It's a beast of a combo from FF5 onward.

I just finished the Saturn version of Virtua Fighter with Lau. I definitely prefer playing this game with the Saturn controller over the other options.

Another day, another character, another release. I beat Virtua Fighter Remix on Saturn with Jeffry, who is in dire need of a shave and a vowel.

Dare I say, as much of a Tekken-head as I am, this version of the game looks way better than the original Tekken did, especially the PlayStation port.
I can't figure out how to emulate the native arcade version of Virtua Fighter Remix, so my last platform is the 10th Anniversary release on PS2. Let's see if I have time to play through that one tomorrow.

Jeffry McWilde just doesn't look right though

After 52 hours and almost a month and a half, I finally finished Final Fantasy VI. #BeatIt
I will now share my thoughts using the funny names I made up for my party members.
[imgt w=640 h=480]https://i.imgur.io/b...[/imgt]
It was a harrowing journey and certainly a memorable one, but I think this’ll be a one-and-done for me. I enjoyed a good 80% of it, and there are some brilliant moments peppered throughout—the ghost train that you fight while outrunning it, only to see Aeomon’s departed family board it; the opera scene in its entirety; “Uncle” Ultros having a brief identity crisis after seeing Sejess’ portrait of him; and everything involving the blossoming romance between Fiffey the thief and Ieeyii the general. Wonderful moments! The characters are lovable and the score is excellent. There’s a versatile combat system, too!
But man, when it’s aggravating, it’s really aggravating. The quality dipped significantly after the Imperial armada attacks, followed by the Floating Continent. The game then opens up and becomes refreshingly nonlinear, but a little aimless. Then there’s Aeomon’s Dream, Mt. Zozo, Kefka’s Tower, and the dreadful Cultists’ Tower. I’ve got nothing positive to say about the latter, and the former three all overstay their welcome. I probably would’ve resorted to grinding if not for the Genji Glove strategy I found online. It trivialized several bosses and areas, but I was so mentally exhausted by then that I don’t care. I recommend every player research this trick from the start.
Here’s a fun fact for you: During the fight with Kefka where you have to distract him long enough for the esper Hintah to open the sealed gate, the fight has a hidden timer that begins ticking down as soon as the characters appear on screen. It runs during Kefka’s dialogue boxes at the start of the fight, so if you sit on his speech for a few minutes, Hintah will open the gate before he can even attack you. I learned this when I began the fight and my dad walked into my room to tell me something important, so I put down the controller and talked with him for about five minutes. When I resumed, I won instantly.
So to conclude, FFVI is a good RPG with lots of charm and intrigue, but the first half is far more fun IMO than the second. I doubt I’ll play another FF game beyond the Chocobo subseries (Chocobo’s Dungeon is surprisingly good, tbh), and I’ve earned a break from hard games. But hey, that’s a part of stepping outside one’s comfort zone to experience something new. I greatly enjoyed 80% of the game like I said, but that bad 20% really hurt my overall view of it.

I can't really decide if I like the first half or the second half of the game better. Linear games don't bother me, so I appreciate the character development and slow burn of the early game. On the other hand, jumping from one big setpiece quest to another - with most having a big reward at the end - is fun, but does make things feel a little rushed and disorganized.
In any case, congratulations, thanks for sticking it out. Kefka is now giggling next to your name on the leaderboard.
On the Virtua Fighter front, I've exhausted my options and finally played Virtua Fighter 10th Anniversary on the PS2 with Kage.

Much easier than the original games because of the larger moveset. Well, except for Dural. She didn't really give me a chance and just pounded me into oblivion.
I need to catch up on badges and figure out which platform I'll use for the last few characters.

I went back to Virtua Fighter PC to see if I could get a higher quality capture through DVI (and yes, I did) and finish the game with Sarah.

This time, Pai was the bottleneck. I managed to stave off Akira's charging elbow enough so that he only kicked my ass a reasonable number of times.
All the character badges except for Dural are ready to go and in the OP.

I'm still plugging away at Final Fantasy VI. I've heard a lot about this game's bugs and crashes over the years, but I never managed to make it crash myself until tonight in the Cave of the Veldt. Instead of the boss' second form appearing on schedule, it was just a blank sprite, like I had cast Vanish on it. Once I hit it with a spell, the whole screen went black, and I had to restart.
I still need to do my last runs of Virtua Fighter with Jacky and Dural, too.

I recall trying out Relm’s Sketch skill, only to have all my party members vanish, then the enemies vanished, and my button inputs wouldn’t register. I never tried Sketch again after that.

I was playing Doom 64 yesterday and got a cool 100 point achievement for killing a CyberDemon.
Only at level 18 but I hadn’t played it since the beginning of February. Already stuck again since
it seems like I’m missing some weird secret or trigger. Lol @ the designers for these types of
shenanigans.

Sketch was always a Russian Roulette move. Will it affect the enemies? Will it affect you? Will it wipe your save? Good luck!
