it has great presentation and the AES copy has cool cover art. I like the stages too, probably the highlight of the game. I would more say if you like WW7 then consider KK, it has a similar colourful style. Its shallow but still fun.

WW7 is a good comparison.

My life is fine. I didn’t fail to enjoy either game, but WW7 is much better at everything Kabuki Klash does.

Kabuki Klash is one of those things where I'd recommend just getting the CD version for $20, playing for a few hours, and getting it out of your system. It's not a $20 CD anymore unfortunately.

Play it on the roms. No need to spend money if Hudson and SNK aren’t getting any. This is the ultimate determinate of fun: if you can enjoy a game you didn’t spend a penny on, much less an arm and leg.

Literally got the MVS cart in the mail yesterday. Haven't played it before, but it looks dope to me.

No, the transaction was already done when this thread popped up. Great timing.

Well yeah, of course this is the way, but this is Neo Geo where people are perfectly willing to spend three or four figures on trash games just because of the platform and won't even consider an option where they don't physically own some shiny.

I agree. I am a collector and I want the game as a collector more than I want it to play on. Even though I collect, I’m merely just playing games on the NeoSD.

the games I play most (for free)
Metal Slug 1, 3, 5
Kof 2003
Shock Troopers
Magical Drop 3
Last Blade 2

which to me means that I actually enjoy those games.

compare to games I don’t play on the Neo Geo but contemplate buying:
SSVS
Kabuki Klash
Matrimelee
Waku Waku 7

I know I won’t bother playing those. I owned them before for under $500 a piece and I wasn’t playing them. But they’re collectibles.

I really wish they would have finished Slug 5. Feels like it could have really been a great game especially after how disappointing 4 was, it feels like they were really trying to make up for it.

Metal Slug 5 still feels like a rom hack.

You can be sure you'll be playing it for hours. It's the NGCD we're talking about afterall... :D

Your posts scream cry for help, but ok. Keep trying hard to be hard.

I’ve never seen anyone front more than you in my life, not even here, so this is a pretty silly thing to point out.

I write what comes to me, I’m not trying to create any sort of artificial vision of myself. I’m not pretending on any level. I don’t photograph my “collection”. I’m not a liar. I never boast, or front, or change someone’s username out of vengeance. I don’t speak at length on subjects I don’t have understanding of. If you don’t like my posts you don’t like me, but there is no facade and there is no cry for help. “If you’re not suicidal then why are on this forum?” is what you’re thinking. “This guy has to suck my cock because I run a place full of guys who I make sure are only there to suck my cock, I make SURE it’s too shitty of a place for anyone else to hang out.” I didn’t work on some of us. I’m not here for that, I’m not here for you. I’m not here to call everyone a fag all day either.

When you grow up you eventually realize that usually when someone says they prefer one game or another that that’s all it is. It doesn’t mean that one of them is suicidal or a “fag”. Sadly the world is much more subtle than that.

You’re way too triggered for a 50 year old. Think of your blood pressure.

After seeing this thread, I realized I'd never played Kabuki Klash either. I loaded it up on an emulator and first impressions are that the graphics are colorful, detailed and and above average, but the gameplay doesn't feel as good as Samurai Shodown or Last Blade. For instance, there is a big burly guy with a giant club kind of like Juzo in Last Blade, you'd expect him to do big swings with the club and be a heavy slow character who deals a lot of damage with single hits, but that didn't seem to be the case with the handful of fights I tried with this guy.

Yeah, could be better. Big clubbed should be a heavy hitter. Kabuki should be fast but weak. All characters are kind of the same.

It is worth playing and having. What game can you force someone to slip on a banana or poison on block.

My favorite is Yagumos super in the corner. If you get hit it does ok damage, but if you block you take 4-5x the damage. That mixup is always hilarious.

Are we ok with collectards now? I got so much shit for that back in the day. :p
