sengoku over sengoku 3

[SNKorSWM]

At least in 3 the characters play differently. In 1 and 2 the two characters play exactly the same.

The first Sengoku is crap. Probably it's better than Burning Fight, which isn't saying much.

 

[max 330 mega]

sengoku 3 is really fun for the first 30 min. then its just monotonous painfully long quarter munching.

 

[Azra113]

Sengoku 2 > Sengoku 3 > Sengoku 1

IMO.

This.

 

[Setherial]

Sengoku 3 is the best in the series imo.

 

[xsq]

I don't care.

 

[mookie3three]

I've never played 2 or 3 but I have the first one and it's crap. I've played through it once but never again. Burning Fight isn't much better.

 

[WoodyXP]

say what? no way Burning Fight is worth that much! I got my MVS cart for $20!! maybe the AES version is the expensive one?

Sorry, I was talking about the AES. What used to be bottom of the barrel shit games are now pushing $200 a pop. *mind blown*

 

[aaronmjr]

I don't like how you have to stop attacking to change directions in Sengoku 3. Kinda kills it for me. Still better than the first IMHO.

 

[Jeneki]

In Sengoku 1, are there any effective and repeatable strategies for dealing with enemy samurai, that doesn't involve weapon pickups or character swapping? That's the biggest hurdle to me continuing to enjoy the game.

A while back it was the beatemup of the month over on the Arcade forum, and unfortunately nobody came up with a solution besides switching to the sword guy or using a 2-handed sword pickup. So really, if anyone has something that works and doesn't rely on luck, by all means share.

why is Sengoku 2 so blasted rare and expensive?

It isn't rare, people just hold onto it.

For me Sengoku 2 > 1 > 3

Sengoku 3 has pacing issues, takes too long to kill regular enemies and makes it so taxing to get to the end of the level. If anyone wants to try out smkdan's quick and dirty hack to make the pacing like Final Fight let me know. It's just a quick hack that gives the characters about 2.5-3x damage, since its a quick hack he didn't change the health of the bosses so they die pretty quick, it was more just a test for the normal enemies.

Interested, which ROMs need to be replaced to test this?

Thanks!!

Just the program rom(s). I'll look for it and PM you a link.

The game, the image is one of the best effect

Sengoku 3 > 2 > 1
I like the combo system in 3!

 

[chinitosoccer]

It doesn't matter, don't waste your time with Neogeo beat'em ups, they are all terrible.

This sounds interesting. I think the game takes way too long to complete...

Same here. Sengoku 3 isn't a bad game but I much rather play the 1st or 2nd one.

 

[SNKorSWM]

Sengoku 3 is really best for co-op play.

 

[kuze]

Too bad we never got a sengoku x, for the obligatory 2 > x.

 

[Bill Kilgore]

I only played Sengoku 1 and 2, but i'm definitely going to buy the 3rd one for MVS. The combo system seems really deep and i like the sprites, even though there's not much variety in them. I like Sengoku 2 a little bit more then the first one but it just gives you so much choices yet doesn't give you any incentive to do so. Why switch characters if you can just as well stay normal.

Very appreciated. Thanks, Xian Xi.

3 all the way to the fucking top. My only problem with 3 is the midgets, their hitpoint is so low that it turns them parts into a fuck fest with little chance to crowd control things proper with juggles and fluid combos.

I like all sengokus, 1 and 2 are awesome for what they are, no doubt. I even like the funky designs and extravagant atmosphere but 3 is more akin to my taste.

I like to play sengoku 3 like KOV and gladiator, I feel this was the evolution of brawlers in the arcade environment, then it died. Hard to find true brawlers after that but thankfully we got plenty of a back catalogue to choose from.
