So there is 2 versions of art of fighting Jap has the normal mode I guess and the usa the hard mode version with a 2 continue limit.

Now I had the usa ver so I started to practice the best I could do was make it to the 2nd to last guy where I was pushed into the corner and skull fucked for 6 rounds once you are there you can't get out he has longer range wall kicks don't work and dp won't reach even if you still have any sprit left.

at that point I switched to the jap and it was a cake walk in comparison

I got recommend to play 4 by someone on ra so I thought start from the beginning there is no part 1 on genesis

2 has two types of levels top down view where you move in 8 directions and it is very easy to get lost with your standard sm'up levels for the second part. Level 3 in particular is a maze that I think you have to take a death to complete because it's walled off everywhere I looked.

3 got rid of the over head levels and is just a standard sm'up only took a few runs to master with some mop up stuff and is quite generous with the extra lives only needed to use a continue once to beat maniac mode.

4 oh my god this was rough the levels are about 3 screens tall and took me 3 days to get maniac mode 1cc. You can have 4 lives to start 3 lives from points and anything after that is 1 up pick ups.

Having 15 lives at once is painful you need to know where pretty much every life is to do this the earliest you can get this is level 7 or 8 almost the end of the game.

The last ones I got were the 1 weapon challenges use only x weapon for levels between 6-10 this is a lie it only works on levels 7,8 &10 and to even attempt you need to play over half the game. The last achievement on there was for points but there was a cheese spot in level 1 that made that a joke rubberband and fast forward for an hour and it's done

It's frogger idk what to even say about it. Probably could have gotten it faster but I had to shake off some rust

It's RPG golf not that it matters in the set due to it barring specials most of the time.

I started off with the 18 holes with a score of 0 or under then the match mode before the story clean up the busy work.

The story revolves around cybernetically enhanced golfers and looking for your sister. Why cybernetically enhanced golfers... To take over the world of course.

Eng/Jap sets the Japanese set is much more forgiving than the English think they cracked it up for the rental market and cut the story for some reason idk.

The meat is in the English played this as a teenager so I had experience before hand but what I didn't know about was the 1 hit KO mode with the bonus ending so on top of 1 hit death you gotta stop and shoot some 3 pointers what a slog that was. Practice your bosses boys and girls your gonna need it.

If anyone wants to try the 1 hit KO mode there is 2 spots you can farm lives but only 1 that's manageable in 8-3 but make sure you can at least beat 9-2 no damage before hand easily the hardest level in the game to perfect
