Arcade Longplay [066] Legend of Success Joe

[MDthornton83]

So that's the whole game! Never thought I'd see it!

[engenuine]

hahaha BEST MANGA EVER! (if you can get all the books online you must!)

[deltok]

jose mendosa jajajaj

japan always recognize mexico as good fighters .. (y) nice

[DYMDDYM]

LOL I like how here he just beat Carlos without even an official match like he wasn't even important, while in the manga it's a completely different story

[DYMDDYM]

'desperate, Joe provocked a ruffian' the hell?that doesn't even make sense...He didn't even do that in the original o_O why would he anyway?xD

[Wysthric]

Just from looking at it - what a pile of crap.

After playing through half of it - what a pile of crap.

[zachary1201]

whats wrong with joe's stance.He can't stay still.he is hyper to fight someone.

[RONNYADICTO]

05:06 Scratchy in the floor

[MagnumSanada]

HOSES, MENEDOZA

[DarthShuckille]

i loved this game growing up....tnks man

[RONNYADICTO]

i imagine a fight between joe yabuki vs little mac

[IvoryGecko1993]

@RONNYADICTO I hope Little mac Beats the tar out of this Idiot!!!!! THIS GAME SUCKS! Do not play it.

[GamertownUSA]

The intro makes you think the game is going to be awesome, but the game sucks.

[Eberflame]

Joe Yabuki

Shingo Yabuki? wtf

[EricGarciaCebria]

Sorry cubex55 and ScHIAuChi, but this is the bad ending. To win the "good" ending, resist all the time in the battle with mendoza ;)

[cubex55]

@EricGarciaCebria

Ah didnt know that - so you have to wait till the timer runs out?

[EricGarciaCebria]

@cubex55 @cubex55 Yeah, if you stand all the timer, the referee stops the battle and the real ending happens. Is a bit sad, but is the original and one of the best anime and manga endings 4 ever.

[cubex55]

@EricGarciaCebria

I might do another LP of it then ;)

[EricGarciaCebria]

@cubex55 Many thanks, i hope you enjoy the real ending ;)

[SkyMaro]

@cubex55 Have you done this yet? I can't find it.

[cubex55]

@SkyMaro

Nope sorry, didnt get around doing it yet, and cant say when i will :(

[jaunzim]

@cubex55 Hey man, don't even try to get this "good" ending... I tried it today and got a nice GAME OVER screen... :(

The only ending is the one on this video...

Ah, the game that has 2 endings is the SNES version (Ashita no Joe)

[cubex55]

@jaunzim

Thanks for the info, i was going to retry this soon, saved me some time there :)

[jaunzim]

@cubex55 Yeah man... I was mad that I had to play this shitty game all over :(

[ratix98]

i still laugh my ass off at the death screen when in the ring

[EricPanzer]

Mendoza Kicks your fucking credits in 5 minutes xDD, i need 30 battles with him with savestates for stand 3 minutes and see the real ending

[Tamanozke]

So wait. Let me get this straight.

You rape all opponents in the game without taking a single hit.

Fourth place on highscore board.

JUST WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO DO FOR FIRST?!

Also, I can't believe someone actually got good at this game.

[cubex55]

@Tamanozke

Its the power of Re-Recording, normally i suck at this ;)

[Dennoman2007]

What you have to do? Strange things that are not to be mentioned.

[000Moli000]

ah, and the intro and the music is very good, i want the ost of the game, hehe.

[000Moli000]

harimao is desesperating, hahaha.

the ps2 game, masshiro ni moe tsuki is a masterpiece compared to this.

anyway, thank you very much for the long play, 5 stars friend!

[hazuken]

if your interested in the series look up ashita no joe

[hazuken]

and if you watch the anime series you find out what happens to joe after he fights hose mendose... and lets say the ending is alot different then mendose getting koed... hint hint... rip joe yabuki you little trouble maker

[iblisrapper]

@hazuken so joe died in the anime exactly =(

[Crystorian]

The moral of the story is quite clear:  when desperate, provoke a ruffian.

[LaVeyCharkusVeros]

With a name like "Legend of Success Joe" you can't expect too much from a game, and this one delivers just that!

I tried to play this sucker a couple of times and it's biggest flaw are it's controls, just watch the tutorial and see how they made insanely complicated to perform those simple moves, but then again Neo Geo games love to make you press a lot of buttons at a time.

The graphics are so-so to just plain bad, but I can take those if the game was fun at least.

[LaVeyCharkusVeros]

Oh, and the most hilarious part are the credits, you can almost picture in your head a group of japanese programmers, one over each other, consulting a Japanese-English/English-Japan­ese thesaurus to try to translate those: "The Original Author" "The Original Picture" "A Chief Programer" "Assistance Programer" "A Chief Character Designer" "Assitance Designer" "Total Producer" ...and the best one of all: "Make A Plan" Oh, my God, they didn't get even one right, ha, ha, ha! :'D

[GameSheriff]

I'm guessing this game isn't as easy as you make it seem.

[cubex55]

Its insane hard!

[GameSheriff]

Yeah, I thought so... you must've have spent a long time mastering it to get through it without even being hit a single time.

[cubex55]

Not really, its all the power of Re-Recording ;)

[TimelordR]

I'd never thought that the NEO-GEO ever had a bad game...until now.

Looks like this was created by a company that cranked out those softcore porn mahjongg video games.

[daveincognito]

Wow, Joe's a jerk. He accidentally kills a guy, so his solution is to pick a fight with someone?

[LtheOriginal]

@daveincognito no, he picked a fight with about 10.

[WinderlyReal]

omg, how the hell is that guy jumping around like this between 9:00 and 10:00 ?

[capnbarfy]

nice vid.

so... how did you bypass the 10 minute mark?

[cubex55]

Read the channel FAQ :)

[capnbarfy]

cool. thanks.

[AbhiB]

erm isn't Joe supposed to have died sitting down at the end, if it followed the story properly

[ElectricHawk]

Yeah, but this game is pretty old, you can only expect so much from this limited technology. The SNES version does a better job, with the Rikiishi fight at least.

[The100thAttempt]

Neo Geo is more powerful than a SNES, this was just a horribly programmed and designed PoS.

[IvoryGecko1993]

@The100thAttempt Okay, this type of gameplay is something I'd expect from the Sega Genesis. NOT A 24-bit HOME ARCADE CONSOLE!!!!!

[plasticboy81]

neo geo is far more advanced than a snes. look at art of fighting 3 or garou mark of the wolves. or blazing star. or every other game ;-))

[ElectricHawk]

Thank you for wasting my time with already established facts that are completely irrelevant to the point I was making, months after I made it. No no, don't get up.

[plasticboy81]

lol youre welcome....anytime^^

[ElectricHawk]

That actually made me laugh... Well played...

[FallingCyrax]

I loved this game : )

I remembered this and brings back memory : )

[zidaneff]

ScHlAuChi, you make these games look so easy Great Job

[cubex55]

Yeah this game is really insane hard, this 14 mins recording took over 2 hours to do, would have been impossible without the help of savestates and Re-Recording ;)

[Darinism]

This is probably the only boxing game to have a storyline in it.

[Horror017]

wasn't this an anime?

[Kejinn54]

Yeah.. his uppercut was so strong that it drained mendose's life force.

[puppetgeneral39]

Why'd Mendose's hair turn white after the first knockdown?

[FFTT]

Hose Mendose's hair turned white after that huge uppercut in th gut...
