You have to use Erick the Viking next.
When I played WHP religiously, there was a combo I did that got me about 90% life but I could never make it a complete 100%. The character has enough strength to do it, but I want to see it done by someone.
My friend, it's sooo funny you brought that up. He was my next choice, and... wait til you see his 90% combo... it's freaking insane... is it the exact same combo you did? 90%.... thats demoralizing.
ERIK!
He was one of my faves, I still recall his peaceful WH2 stage, with them fighting on his ship. He was so cool, I thought. Had that wooden shield (check out what it does in WHP!) that AXE. His breath stank so bad he could freeze you with it. He had a huge hammer in his back pocket that would shock you. And c'mon now, for gawd's sake he could send forth a strong ocean wave to attack you. (still to this day the funniest projectile ever.... who knew water could hurt you?) My best friend always said it was "magic water"... ahhh, to be young again. (BTW, I always found it extremely odd the motion to do his projectile was a hurricane kick!)
And oh yeah, he could fly across the screen and stab you with his horns. That's ownage.
My most vivid memory of big Erik came when WH2 came out. Me and my best friend we discovered this arcade hall outta town. It was raining cats and dogs, I remember rushing into the store as my dad dropped us off. Coming in slightly drenched from the heavy rain, I was immediately greeted with the classic music from Erik's awesome stage. The machine was crowded, and next to it was an equally crowded Street Fighter II Championship Edition.
Me and Nelson, we just stood there watching the older kids go at it... in wide-eyed awe.
And, for the Super Nintendo one night Nelson's little bro Johnny owned us in SNES WH. I remember me and Nelly in his livingroom talking about when WH2 was going to come out, and I still remember saying "Johnny won't beat MY Erik!" I thought I played a mean Erik back in the day. I remember talking about the new moves available in WH2 that would put us over the top and ensure Johnny would never beat us again, like Muscle Power's giant swing.
Anyway, enjoy the vid. Erik's 90% combo is worth watching 10 times over!!!
