King Of Colosseum 2 - Kawada VS Hase

[heavyhandeddoom]

Wow, that's spooky... The first Puro tape I bought was the Baba Memorial, and aside from Misawa/Vader, THAT match made me become an instant fan of King's Road. I lost the tape, and spent YEARS trying to track that match down. I just found it here on YouTube a couple of months ago. That was a great day...

Also, haven't really heard Gojira, but I really dig them, thanks to this video.

@heavyhandeddoom

Thanks for the rad comment. I love that something I made years ago is still reaching new viewers and spreading joy. Take care.

[jwg1]

will this work on an american ps3

[marcobrooo]

wow looks reallly good

[spacedninjalo]

so i can find it on ebay but do i need to mod my ps2 first? and if so which one would people recommend? i'm pretty bad at electronics work.

[JackgarPrime]

Check out Swap Magic. It lets you use imports without really modding your PS2. You just have to pop the front of the tray off, which you can always put back on.

[BillyCauseyjr]

no need to mod if you use swap magic (but using SM is pretty tricky.)

if not using swap magic you need to mod.

[TheCemeteryTan]

KOC 2 is great and get Swap Magic disc to MOD. its very easy .

[shrwon]

great vid

[SamuraiGhost63]

Love the video

[AJi8z]

Dangerous DDT

[GWSuperstars]

Hey, Sonnybone. Do you recomend buying this game used?

[SonnyBone]

Let me put it this way... this is my favorite wrestling game of all time. I paid about $112 for it and would gladly pay more.

Not owning this game is a crime.

[GWSuperstars]

Thank you. So even if I buy it used, it's well worth it? The person I'm buying from seems to be reputable.

[SonnyBone]

You can usually find the game on eBay for a good price. I can't recommend buying something from someone outside of the typical 'online transaction' channels, though.

[EverWinterNights]

Is this game better than Fire Pro Wrestling returns? Does it have 500 create a wrestler slots? how many moves can you select for create a wrestler? And how many wrestlers start out on the natural roster?

[brocklock09]

In order; Yes. No. More than you can imagine. A lot.

[SonnyBone]

I support these facts.

[FuckinDago]

I know a few people who own the game and I've heard it's really hard to get going in learning how to play. Any tips that I could use on maybe picking the game up?

[TheSuicidalDragon]

Get used to the timing of the grappling, as that will be your biggest hurdle with the gameplay, as if you aren't timing these properly, you'll get reversed quite often. Also, get a feel for when your opponent is getting weaker, as that will allow you to know when to bring out the bigger moves in your character's arsenal.

[shiningwizard327]

Man, I miss this game! For some reason it stopped working on me. Disc got messed up somehow =(

[LukasRocks001]

man, I'm such a huge fan of wrestling.

I don't know what I should get: KOC 2, Wrestle kingdom 2 or ASPW 3

[SonnyBone]

Out of those 3 I'd say KOC2 by several miles. Then ASPW3, then WK2 after everything else. Do you own Fire Pro Returns already? If not, get that as well.

Here's how I rank the PS2 wrestling games:

KOC2, Fire Pro R, KOC Red, KOC Green, ASPW3, Fire Pro Z, ASPW2, ASPW1, Wrestle Kingdom 2, Wrestle Kingdom 1.

[LukasRocks001]

Thanks. I just got Fire pro returns, ASPW 1 and wrestle kingdom 2. Great games.

[Brian88504]

yea..thjats the same order i got the games in..first koc2/giant gram 2000 then aspw3 then wk1..and im getting wk2 soon.

[SonnyBone]

I need to do a video review of this game... I may be able to spread the KOC love.

[3498stevo]

is there an english version

[SonnyBone]

Japanese only release. If you're worried about 'understanding' it... you'll have no problem. There are tons of guides, FAQs, and people willing to help out. If you're worried about playing it... modding isn't that difficult.

[dingodile555]

Is there a change language option on it? I can't read Japanese.

[DRodri90]

I remember that match, Kawada sold the Uranages like god

[SonnyBone]

I think that's the single greatest explanation I've ever heard.

[DRodri90]

I've uploaded the match

[SonnyBone]

@DRodri90

I know this was left a year ago, but this is the best description possible.

[borexjohnson]

can you do the ganso bomb/ kawada driver in this game?

[SonnyBone]

Most certainly. In the KOC games, it's done via a 'powerball' offensive move from Kawada out of the powerbomb clutch. In AJPW King's Soul on PS1, it was actually a reversal of a reversal just like the first time Kawada performed the move on Misawa.

[SirPromenade]

You seem to like Hase alot, is that your favorite japanese wrestler?

[thesith89]

watching this really makes me wanna mod my ps2

what's the name of the first song?

[SonnyBone]

First song? Heh, it's all the same track.

World To Come by Gojira.

Mod your PS2 man, it's worth it.

All Star Pro Wrestling and the KOC games need more love.

[hoggster3]

Amazing,great job.

[CadillacL]

I can't believe the graphics on this. WWE/TNA have NOTHING on this game.

[barbarianbro]

You know I heard this game was programmed by only four guys if that's the truth these guys are the best programmers ever!

[OrionAssante]

The core development team was about 11 guys.

[dougmoore]

2 brain bustaaaas sick!

[LifegrindX]

A work of art.

[MrRezister]

What an awesome game. Great animation, deep - DEEP movesets, awesome roster. It was totally worth destroying my old ps2 just to play this game for a couple of months. If this game got the translation treatment like FPR, I'd kiss a random dude on the street. Fer reelz.

[barbarianbro]

I agree this is still the best wrestling engine out there. I bought a all region ps2 just to play this and have been loving it ever since.  Does anyone know if there is a KOC3 on the horizon. If they developed for the PS3 or 360 it would be the too Sweeeeeeeeet!

[SonnyBone]

We can only hope that Spike is working on another game right now. I have a feeling it's Fire Pro for the DS, but I would really really love to play KOC3 sometime this year.

Check out my videos of King's Soul for the PS1. That's where this series began.

[SuicidalDragon]

Awesome job, man. Great clips, and great job on the synching. I loved how the drum beat was used for the Ganmengiri. It actually sounded like the actual slow mo sound of the kick hitting Hase's head.

[retrogamah]

Amazing video work! Thumbs up!!

[rapidfire187]

No match rating? Dammit...

Awesome video Sonny. That match was awesome, I'll have to try it out on my game before I ship it out.

[SonnyBone]

93 %

[WHAM2]

Are you doing single player matches, or 2-player and working the spots?

[OrionAssante]

From the strike exchange at the first I would say 2 player.

[SonnyBone]

Yup, check the description. The Kojima/Nakamura match was not worked. This one was.

[deedoubleohdoo]

I hear Gojira. YAY!!!!

[yukesfan]

Another great vid! Thanks. I love that brainbuster

kawada got, its realistic and brutal.

[OrionAssante]

OR-FUCKING-GASM

Amazing video. Can't wait to see more.

[SonnyBone]

These are taking a while, unfortunately. I'll make some more ASAP.
