Thanks for posting this. I discovered this game last week and it's really interesting in it's take on fighting games. I too would like to see the 'no set strings' mechanic explored further. One thing I haven't quite figure out yet is U+S/D+S and how sometimes it reverse position and sometimes it doesn't when using it to dodge a move.
@HeavySystems Im lucky enough to have had this game in its heyday, me and my mates would stay up over 48 hours (like nothing) and martial art the spit out of each-other on it. The move programming mode and unlimited combo (unlocked after completion) made this game even more dynamic. I haven't found a more under-hyped fighter.
Nice... I never heard of this game, still you should try Virtua Hiryu No Ken it is an awesome game, same for Wu Tang Shaolin Style... would love to see a combo video for Wu Tang or a good movelist for Virtua Hyryu No Ken...
yes, it's a PSX game, arcade port with some changes (for better) in the gameplay.
MAME should run F.I. rom (with minor glitches) but I have not tested it yet.
I want to make some combo & tricks clips of decent rare fighting games like Critical Blow, Abalaburn, Lightning Legend, Lord of Fist, Goiken Muyou2... Even wacky and unpolished games - Heaven's Gate or Shura No Mon have some fun moves and crazy characters worth showing ;)
@xserd arcade: - very few juggle starters, even big sweeps don't knock down every time - ground roll to belly and ground quick recovery possible - small explosions appear when attacks connect PSX: - MORE moves added - some animations from arcade game have new input and properties - some grabs were replaced with new techniques - [S]b is shorter than b,b back flip - no hit-flashes, backgrounds and costumes changes (not sure about the music but possibly new/more tracks)
@mxzptlx1357 i still got my back up copy, i favoured this over tekken 3 and i still compare fighters to it (look at my utube name?). I wish the original team would get to gather and make a worthy sequel to smash the current market. There was something about the animation and hit response that made tekken look like a game, and fighters impact look like a martial arts sparing simulator.
Fighters impact stands alone. Is shura no mon any good? I played the megadrive emu, some years back.
