Hmmm, enemies/bosses with homing jump.... I guess if I spend some time improving the score it will be on FF3.

Sword don't decide about it, I think. And ninjas rarely use swords. He's just american point of view for an assian type of worrior

I think you're right. So his fighting style is just undefined. I have a feeling he's the best character in FF2, though (while Guy is the best in FF3 - followed by Haggar).

I also get the best 'results' with Carlos Will see if I can confirm Guy for FF3 later.

[TCD]

Yep, Guy is pretty decent. They pull some quite cheap tricks in this one to raise the difficulty. Not as much fun as 2.



Final Fight 3 : 775,550

Guy is definitely the most fun to play as in FF3. Cheaper tricks? Dunno - I find the CPU in both games pretty annoying...



Final Fight 2: 1,187,500

Well in FF2 they at least not run around like headless chicken all the time They also increased the number of running attacks and 'combo hits' in FF3. Have I mentioned that I prefer SoR yet?

[john4p]

Yes, FF3 is a lot faster. Felt like a walk in the park when I returned to FF2. But it wasn't - didn't get much further:


(So many SF-characters in FF2&3: Guy, Maki, Rolento, Chun-Li, Hugo (Andore) - and Zangief is based on Haggar)

Stray is also a very 'nice' boss Well, I'll try harder next time



Final Fight 3 : 1,299,650

Total : 2,799,550

[john4p]

Damn, I've beaten Stray on my 1.158M-run (lost 4 lives against him though). Must've missed something in level 3 (should probably enter the car-store). Nice score.

[TCD]

Cheers john There are also some spots to check in stage 5

[john4p]

Thanks for the hint. Today I dedicated to FF2 again.
Lost 0 lives to Phillippe the clown and 3 to Rolent(o) in this run:



Final Fight 2: 1,783,600
Final Fight 3: 1,158,000

Total: 2,941,600

[TCD]

Nice score there and quite impressive to lose 0 lives to the clown Will try to get that bloody Rolent tomorrow

[john4p]

Well, the fight wasn't impressive - just walk away, attack with jump-kick, walk away, attack with jump kick, rinse and repeat (okay, there were a couple of situations where I needed the desperation attack, too). Doesn't do much damage, but the clown doesn't have much health...

How did you manage to get 1.5M without defeating Rolent? That's impressive...
Unlike FF3 I didn't note any hidden routes in FF2 and I always have about 1.35M when I reach him.

Hmm dunno... I just beat the crap out of everyone I see you know

[john4p]

That's an excellent tactic!

Really, I try to get as many 'combos' (instead of jump + kick or throwing) as I can. That seems to do the trick

[TCD]

Made it past Rolent, got through the 6th stage with 0 lives left and died 200 points away from an extra life



Final Fight 2 : 2,299,800

That's the final boss. You're almost done with FF2 already.

I often do only 2-3 hits of the combo, then grab, 2xknee strike and then throw for massive damage. I also often throw one enemy so that all are on one side. Seems like always completing the standard-combo is worth more points indeed.


Found out why level 3 usually was so short in FF3: when you destroy the bus-stop the bus won't stop and the level is over very quick. You'll then also see a completely different level 4 (with a different boss).

In this run I took the bus, but later in level 5 a room led me to level 6 without having to fight Stray.

Also found that enemies like Atlas block your attacks and you still get points, while they take almost no damage. I don't do that on purpose, but it happens quite often

Ah, that would explain it. I took the bus (haven't thought about destroying the bus stop sign ).
