Has someone linked to Fighter's Misery, or has everything there been covered already?

I heavily object to the inclusion of Samurai Shodown Sen, Power Instinct 2, Fighter's History, and Street Fighter: The Movie (Saturn version) as kuso games. Oh, and the guy has a major problem with finding screenshots that are ACTUALLY FROM THE GAMES HE'S WRITING ABOUT. Like, he uses the original Final Fight for Revenge, and FH Dynamite for the original Fighter's History. How hard can it be to search for the correct screens? Also, it's really stupid how he barely knows of the existence of Street Fighter 1, and insists on calling it "Fighting Street" when that was just a name for the PCE-CD port to maneuver around some legal issue. Totally untrue. Karnov and Fighter's History were both fairly popular and well liked games in their time, both as arcade titles and home ports. FH deserves praise for its lightning fast action, finely tuned controls, and deep combo/dizzying system. Capcom clearly saw the original as enough of a threat to Street Fighter II to go to court over it, and FH Dynamite has a competitive scene in Japan even to this day. There was also the bizarre popularity of Mizoguchi in Japan, which led to him getting his own game on SNES and eventually included in KOF Maximum Impact 2. Here's someone who loooooved Fighter's History 1. Damn, this Fighter's Misery guy doesn't even try to lob one legitimate criticism against the game other than "LOL the characters suck." He also leaves out the fact that Capcom LOST the suit against Data East, because you can't copyright game mechanics.

Has someone linked to Fighter's Misery, or has everything there been covered already? Power Instinct series? Crappy fighting games? Come on! Expecially this part shows how ignorant is the guy who wrote this article: Quite the opposite: Maybe from gameplay aspect it's your typical fighting game but the bizarre, unusual characters casting and its sense of humor makes it stand out easily from most generic fighting games of its era. And the gameplay is well-made and fine enough to make it quite enjoyable. Unfortunately nobody from my friends had the same appreciation when I put Shin Gouketsuji Ichizoku on my PS2 and instead they told me how shitty it is. And of course I answered them that they hate it just because it looks too bizarre for their tastes. About Strip Fighter II...I can't say much since I haven't played it but Super Strip Fighter IV is playable enough to enjoy it. And since some "serious" gamers love to talk shit about Strip Fighter II I'll try it soon to see if it's as crappy as they say. Other games that they have absolutely no place at the list are: - World Heroes - Battle Arena Toshiden - Fighter's History - Samurai Shodown Sen I can't say the same with certainty about games like Final Fight Revenge since I don't know how good or bad they are but I don't think they can be considered as crappy games (maybe mediocre at worst case). Call me a hater and shitstorm me as much as you want but I'll agree with him about Mortal Kombat Trilogy as a crappy fighting. At least I have played a lot this game when I was young (along with 3 and Ultimate) and I like MK 1, 2 and 9. But you have to admit that Mortal Kombat 3,Ultimate,Trilogy have lots of graphic bugs and inaccuracies (expecially at the finishing moves) that makes it incredibly ridiculous and ugly and the AI is broken as hell. Then why I didn't included it at the list you say? Well, that's because it's still playable at the versus mode. Fighting Eyes is another fighting game that's considered terrible. Not just terrible. Legendary terrible as I can see. Added to the list. Thanks 1983parrothead. Is it me or the character design looks like it was made by Range Murata (the famous japanese illustrator that also made the character design for Power Instinct series)? Also, it's really stupid how he barely knows of the existence of Street Fighter 1, and insists on calling it "Fighting Street" when that was just a name for the PCE-CD port to maneuver around some legal issue. Actually on his entry about "Fighting Street" he writes in detal about Street Fighter 1. He just made the stupid move to write at the title the name of the Turbografx-16 port.

That Game Freedom background(previewed) looks pretty neat at least.

Power Instinct and World Heroes both started out as pretty terrible fighters, but their later sequels were massively improved (starting with PI2 and WH2 Jet).
