Super Fighting Spirit

[yuigx1]

Before I start review the mod, I wanna say that I'm surprised that the review category seems like a funeral wake & also, english is not my native langauge however, it's still good

Summary
This mod is made the by the user "BWWD", the mod has a roster of roughly 17 playable characters from various games such as fighting spirits for the amiga, ken from the all time favorite SF2 as well as jimmy lee & he's brother from double dragon. He's intention is to make this mod " OLD SCHOOL TO THE MAX!"

Story   3/5
There's no official storyline for the mod but I love the fact that there's a final boss reference throughout the game. If you're observing, u can see the final boss carrying a screaming girl everytime u go through a new chapter. There's also tons of npc in the game which appears to assist the player with a single special attack, they can be hit as well.(I don't know why )

Buttons Layout  4/5
This mod uses a traditional 3 buttons, attack, jump & block. I'm totally diggin the way how special moves has same commands in this game. They are categorized into 3 types, uppercut, projectile & a charging move. Due to it's user friendly commands, anyone can jump in & play..it doesn't matter whether if it's your little sister, grandma , grandpa anyone can just hop on to "BEAT EM' UP!". However, due to the constraint of the 3 types of special moves commands..that also limits on how character roster were picked

COMBO SYSTEM  3/5
The combo system as well, is made to be easy.The standard 3 hits chain can easily kill one gang of thugs from one side. The juggle system isn't really flashy but it's still legit juggle & speaking of legit juggles, I found a "repetitve & cheap" way to make the game a cakewalk. All you need to do is use ken's hurricane kick chain to punch x 3 combo, it can TKO' any thugs & the bosses fall for it all the time!( that's when I found out the bosses have gigantic lifebars!)

Gameplay  4/5
When I first started the mod, I'm not really a fan of the classic song in the intro. However, the first stage made me a 95.65% addicted in the game. The combination of the beach theme works almost perfect with the beach background(not animated through), the "catchy" 8bits music with retro cars laying around & finally, midget thugs coming back & forth with your avatar trashing them. There's a saying called "always start something with a bang" & this is a perfect analogy.

Versus mode  4/5
I love that fact that bwwd has created this mod as the classic fighting spirits made for the amiga is originally a fighting game & now this fanmade mod had both of the genre making super fighting spirit definitely better than it's predecessor.

Survival mode  5/5
This mode is no stranger to me as I have the same concept implemented in my own mod & I'm quite a dynasty warrior's veteran. Most of the time you can't really see your avatar's or it's shadows until you actually execute a special move making it freakin' epic each time your avatar appears on screen!

1 credit story mode   3/5
Okay, I'm pretty the existence of this mode explains why the method I mentioned in the combo sector existed & why the AI is so less conscious. So here's an advice, utilize the strategy I mentioned previously & see if you're good enough to beat it with a single credit

Conclusion    Total Score: 7/10
Super Fighting spirits is one of the best mod in the site in my opinion & I don't usually play old school games since I can't stand the graphics of them(it's testing my vision) but in this case, gameplay have overtaken the graphics aspect  so I emphasis everyone to  give this game a try & it doesn't matter whether you're from different countries, age group, gender, interest etc


Peace Out,
