Capcom Fighting Collection, how I gotten every achievement in a week

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I don't officially do stuff like this. There's even the chance it might be my last too. I been noticing people cover their journey to getting every achievements/trophies in videos. I felt the one game I probably could do the most justice on has to be Capcom Fighting Collection. Some games like TMNT: The Cowabunga Collection, I taken the easy route.

Although, I did later fully play them all. I simply wanted to get the achievement hunting out the way. So I can simply enjoy em, my honest answer. I have a little over two decades worth of experience achievement/trophy hunting. You may see how I would tackle such an game collection. I will be covering every achievement on particular days.

From June 24th to June 28th, I didn't hack or use mods to achieve this madness. I quickly knew by the time I would've done this on consoles, I'm likely be within the hundreds of people that completed it. Then it occurred to me since I preordered it on Steam, maybe I could be the first person to complete it there. I am very happy to say I am that very person.

ResidentEvilGamer89 is me!!!

I can only hope those trying to get every achievement/trophy in this game. Maybe what I have to share may help you out a little bit or a lot depending on things. I also need to bring up, a few achievements involves every game. I figured if I didn't say anything that might've brought in confusion later on. Alright let's reveal how I pulled something this insane off.

Another surprising thing is during this week. A good friend of mine showed up for a few hours. Mostly watching Season 3 of The Umbrella Academy. Sometimes, a break as well as having some company over helps a lot in the long run. Not this collection made me felt tired or bored, it's quite good. I am very proud of my hard work here.

Practice Makes Perfect
In game game, deal 1,000 damage or higher to an opponent in training mode.

I know a long list on launch day achievement hunting. Every Play game achievement is simply get the games started that's it. Complete every game achievement is beat the games with any character. Considering most of these games were meant to be rough on players back in the day. I suggest lower difficulty as well as reducing the amount of rounds to speed up the process.

Shooting Star occurs during the ending credits. I recommend making a save state then practice learning how to get Mobi-chan out. Then practice how to use him before you go for the actual achievement. You won't have much time to do so. Let's Go Tenjiku! achievement, at random SonSon will fly around during matches.

A little tricky to pull off, you need to hit him to get the character drop the items. This also may take a little practice to do. Both the secret characters in the updated versions of Vampire Savior has a very similar process how to select. Place your cursor on the random icon then press start five to seven times before selecting them.

Record Breaker is virtually guarantee because you'll easily get that simply by beating Super Gem Fighter Minimix. Practice Makes Perfect, you simply keep damaging your opponent until the achievement unlocks. Of course, just lose on purpose to use an continue to unlock Never Give Up! achievement.

Hold It Right There! achievement, the fast method is finish most of your opponents with an finisher. Keep in mind, there's two types being EX and ES moves respectively. Regardless, which you end up using, you should get an extra fight. The alternative method is use an finisher on the final opponent, mostly being Jedah.

Collateral Damage achievement is surprisingly easy to pull off. The easiest method to get it is simply on a handful of stages. Mostly Guile or Ken's stages, you'll need to defeat an opponent. As they're defeat must make contact with the destroyable environment stuff. In order to face Akuma in single player, you must defeat every opponent up until Sagat without losing a match.

Thankfully a couple matches after I completed the entire game's achievements. Capcom made a loop hole making it easier to play the US version of Hyper Street Fighter II. For those that doesn't know, SFII has the famous difficulty glitch. So it's actually easier to get every Hyper Street Fighter II achievement now.

Now we get to the five achievements that requires performing particular moves. All of them are within the Darkstalkers series. My best advice is timing, having the meter filled up and practice performing those moves. Thankfully nine out of ten games has a training mode. You may need to do that first before attempting them in actual matches.

Red Earth has two training modes. Yes you also can practice the bonus stages too. I figured I should mentioned that.

June 25th
To the Scrapyard with You!
In Cyberbots: Fullmetal Madness, perform an 18-hit combo or higher with any VA.

The Lessons of Saikyo Style
In Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo, successfully perform a Super KO.

To the Scrapyard with You! achievement has a very easy method to do. As Killer Bee VA, you'll need to charge up your meter. Make sure when you fire it, your opponent takes damage. More times than not, you should land an 18-hit combo at a fast rate. You also can charge it up directly making this one of the faster move theme achievements in the game.

The Lessons of Saikyo Style achievement is surprisingly easy to pull off. Don't worry this isn't the usual combo pressing method either. All I do is pile up enough blocks. When I'm ready to break them, I wait for that particular colored orb to show up. If your opponent is closer to defeat by that point, you're more likely going to get the achievement.

June 26th
Destinies Intertwined
In Cyberbots: Fullmetal Madness, view every pilot's ending.

Around the World
In Super Gem Fighter Minimix, perform an Around the World counter.

June 27th
This is No Magic Trick!
In Vampire Savior: The Lord of Vampire, KO any character with Bishamon's Togakubi Sarashi.

To Each Their Own Path
In Red Earth, view every ending.

I'll start with the easiest achievement I gotten on that day. Destinies Intertwined achievement, simply beat the game with all six pilots. Yes one of them is two kids to clarify. Also make sure you wait a little longer to get the achievement especially on the final pilot. The good news is you can use any VA for this.

Around the World achievement is a little tricky to pull off. You actually can do it very quickly when you have your opponent as far as possible on either side of the screen. All you have to do is find a way to land an attack that literately sends em flying around the world. This also could be somewhat tedious when it doesn't work.

I also recommend if you get your opponent stunned. You are briefly giving a few seconds to do this. Works best in stages outside. I don't recommend rushing the process or it just won't work right. Unless you are a pro speed runner then you could pull it off. Training Mode likely the best mode to train to properly pull this off.

Now I got to talk about two of the hardest achievements in the game. This is No Magic Trick! achievement took me a lot of attempts to get it done right. You have to play as Bishamon against any CPU opponent. You have to use Togakubi Sarashi move as you're defeating em to get the achievement. This is a difficult to pull off move as well as given a much less time to properly pull it off.

It's finally time to talk about the single most difficult achievement in the entire game. To Each Their Own Path achievement will require a lot of playthroughs to complete. One particular ending you have to fully do the entire game without losing once. Some endings has a decision you need to make. Kenji and Mai-Ling respectively, thankfully you can cheat it by making an save state.

Which also prevents you doing two additional runs of the game. The most annoying endings to get is you need to use at least twenty continues before beating the game. The single trickiest ending to get is Leo must defeat Blade with an fatality. Continues do not matter for that ending. I believe some endings you are allowed a few continues to get, which should make a part of this easier.

I also need to point out, Leo has one more ending than the rest of the playable characters. Even with my easy route strategy, you will take a notable amount of time getting all these endings. You also have to defeat the final boss twice per a run. Parts of the endings are a little similar which also can cause confusion as well.

June 28th
Collection Completionist
Complete every game in the collection with every character.

For me the final achievement was Collection Completionist achievement. Possibly one of the most tedious fighting game achievements I ever done period. What you need to do is complete every game as every playable character including hidden characters and mechs. I will point some stuff help to help things a little bit.

I'm not going to sugar coat this. You have to do a lot of playthroughs in most these games. Thankfully you only need four runs from Red Earth. All three versions of Vampire Savior & Hyper Street Fighter II has the most playable characters. Also in Cyberbots' case, get used to seeing the same character stories a lot too.

No it doesn't matter which language version you do these on. No you don't have to do every single version of a character in Hyper Street Fighter II. Continues doesn't even matter, take all the time you'll need. I will briefly talk about how to select the hidden characters. I already previously mentioned Marionette & Shadow, which works on both updated versions of Vampire Savior.

I also need to point out Night Warriors & Red Earth are the only games without hidden characters.

You also have Dark Talbain in Vampire Savior but that version of the character isn't in the updated versions. You can play as a few previously unplayable characters mostly present in Darkstalkers series. Like the bosses in Darkstalkers 1 as well as Oboro Bishamon in all versions of Vampire Savior. Most easy select is a very quick process.

For Darkstalkers 1, Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo, Super Gem Fighter Minimix and Hyper Street Fighter II. You simply move the cursor in the right direction to select the hidden characters. It's a little different for the other games with the hidden characters though. Like a very short button combination on the character selection screen gives you the remaining hidden characters in later Darkstalkers games.

Cyberbots, it doesn't matter which pilot or VA you would've selected. By activating the Easy Select option, you have to quickly press up, up or left, left or down, down or right, right. In order to play as the hidden boss mechs. Thankfully every single achievement is being tracked in another mode of the game. So you don't even need to write them down or use a text file.

I confessed I did used an text file to keep track during the achievement hunting process. I did look up several sources online to get some of these achievements done. A pro achievement hunter would've done that. I had a blast doing all of that within a single week. I do hope Capcom may make a follow up of some sorts to this.

What's the best video game franchise?

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, Eventually I had to talk about this. Everyone has an definitive pick for which video game franchise they believe is the best. Obviously, this is a topic I felt everyone should share their favorites. I'm not going to tell you stuff like "Hell no get out!!!" Of course, there's franchises I'm not a huge fan of.

Today's question is What's the best video game franchise? This is strictly my opinion alone, I always felt for a long time. My answers has been Resident Evil franchise. Main series wise, it's very constant across the board. Some stuff you expect from some franchises, Resident Evil has going for it. We are talking comic books, movies and shows.

I know a lot of big name franchises gets hyped like no tomorrow. Resident Evil is no exception to that. They recently had it with Resident Evil 4 Remake. For those not into the Resident Evil franchise likely curious to know why it's my choice of the absolute best video game franchise right? I don't often seeing an game franchise changed gaming nearly as much as Resident Evil.

Capcom also tried several game play styles within the franchise. There's plenty of characters we love with an passion. Many awesome weaponry we can't stop using. Some truly unique creatures you may not find elsewhere. The music always been an notable tread within the franchise. Yes, they made plenty of mistakes like the canned live action RE Netflix show coughs.

Resident Evil is on many platforms. When they give fan service, it's truly amazing stuff. No that doesn't consider Resident Evil Re:Verse, sell out!!! The puzzles in some of these games are virtually timeless as well. The atmosphere always so interesting for the most part in these games. Currently the top selling Capcom game franchise to date.

Resident Evil is so big, people in Hollywood already knows about it. Capcom already has a new animated RE movie on the way. Thanks to Backward Compatibility, I can bring my massive digital RE collection to a newer Xbox console for absolutely free. Resident Evil always meant the world to me. Resident Evil 2 (original) was the very game I knew I wanted to be a life long fan of the franchise.

My favorite Resident Evil game to date is Resident Evil 2 Remake. I been hearing great things about RE4 Remake, finally an challenger to the throne shows up. Not to say I didn't enjoy Resident Evil Village, I absolutely loved that game too. You easily can put hours into these games. Obviously, the later ones packs so much content, it's mind blowing.

Believe it or not, this franchise helps builds some truly amazing gamers around the world. Hell, Twitch & speed running websites are filled with RE gamers with sick skills. Resident Evil is constantly evolving at a fast rate. This franchise is only going to keep moving up overtime. I hope closer to my fifties, this franchise finally makes it within Top 10 Best Selling Video Game Franchises list.

Short or long RE games, there's always something within these games people loves. Capcom mostly delivers on some truly amazing games. It's such a huge franchise, you could start anywhere then be proud to had play em. Resident Evil selling incredibly well, it's starting to be like Marvel Cinematic Universe level.

Obviously those makes billions while Resident Evil makes millions. The entire point is Capcom getting a lot of money from these games to keep pushing forward. They want us to enjoy their work to the best of our ability. It also means Resident Evil virtually on most gamers' radar. You can count on deals with insane numbers for the company.

Resident Evil is essentially what you want in an successful video game franchise. Personally I don't wanna see RE5 receive it's own remake. I either see that treatment be given to Dino Crisis or Code: Veronica X more. Even some of the mini games are more fun than their actual games. Like Leech Hunter in RE0 or Raid Mode in Revelations 2 to name a few.

There's an website called Resident Evil Portal. They combined aspects of residentevil.net into it. Virtually continuing to keep track of gamers in every supported RE game. This speaks volumes how much Capcom loves their fans. I'm probably going to piss someone off by saying this. Screw GTA Online, this service is free as well as covers more games.

Seriously, Rockstar you are blood sucking leeches. Back to Resident Evil, the modding community kept getting creative as well as somewhat risky with the newer mods. There's an variation of a mod where everything is randomized in RE1 Remake, it's insanity. The fan arts are absolutely amazing as well. Resident Evil is constantly inspiring people to this very day.

You wouldn't have franchises like Gears of War or Dead Space if RE4 got canceled. I confess most RE movies aren't great. There's some good ones if you're willing to search for them. There's more video game crossovers with RE characters including Dead by Daylight. Resident Evil is becoming the stuff of legends, I absolutely love every minute of it.

What's my favorite video game franchises among Top 10 Best Selling Video Game Franchises?

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, eventually I was going to talk about this. To be quite honest, my thoughts on it isn't that interesting. Top 10 Best Selling Video Game Franchises as of right now. Well not many of them I'm a huge fan of. For me, a lot of the other franchises not in the top 10 was way better. I will say I do have a favorite among these franchises.

Happy Easter everyone!!!

First I will show the list then reveal which one I'm a fan of. These may not be what you are expecting. Some of these even makes you question why people love them so much. Not to disrespect them but more out of sheer curiosity. I previously stated these may not be the games for you. Everyone does have different taste so maybe you might be a fan of all ten franchises or you aren't a fan of any at all.

10. The Sims
9. Lego
8. Wii series
7. Minecraft
6. FIFA
5. Grand Theft Auto
4. Call of Duty
3. Pokemon
2. Tetris
1. Mario

Honestly this list would appeal more to my wife than myself. She is a huge fan of The Sims & Minecraft. Is anyone even surprised Tetris is that high up on the list? Mario constantly stayed the best selling video game franchise. A lot of my favorites aren't that high. Although, a handful of them are notably higher than expected.

Call of Duty kept releasing games as well as dlcs at a rate. I quickly chose to drop the franchise. Pokemon kept releasing two or more versions of their games. They also kept releasing remakes of their older Pokemon games. Obviously, it's going to become confusing to follow. Especially when there isn't much actual changes between the versions.

Grand Theft Auto gets lucky with the sells. But it mostly gotten here because of GTA Online. Yeah I'm finally speaking out against it so what? An multiplayer online GTA game that rips people off wow oh okay Rockstar. Obviously, I loss my respect for the franchise. Even Call of Duty has more respect from me in comparison just not by much.

I don't even need to take time to picking an favorite. I already gotten out roughly half these franchises. Which only leaves The Sims, Lego, Wii, FIFA and Tetris. I do like the sport soccer but I don't think I would enjoy playing it in video games unless it's done a certain way. Wii is mostly exclusive to Nintendo Wii, a great game console.

Hell you also can exercise & play games at the same time was a cool concept back in the day. Most of them are sports games. Unless you are heavily into sports, you may not enjoy them for long. They are far from being terrible by any means. I never gotten into Minecraft, it simply wasn't my thing period. The Sims is more of a few people I know thing.

Yes I been around a handful of the games myself. I do get why so many enjoy the franchise. But geez the amount of dlcs you gotta pay for is absolutely ridiculous. Honestly, it's becoming easier to get into but harder to keep up with all the new stuff coming. So it virtually is borderline getting into as well as not for me.

Yes you can do some weird stuff in those as well. Obviously we only have two franchises left to discuss. Tetris is the most famous puzzle game in the entire game. It even got the world record of being the most ported video game in history. Tetris also had some crossover games as well. I fully get why Tetris is here believe it or not.

Tetris actually has an interesting effect on the brain to help those playing it to make better decisions. On the surface it doesn't appear to be much. Then the game starts you suddenly gotta keep on going. Tetris is nearly on every platform you could possibly name making it guarantee in some form. You are going to play it, a huge plus in my book.

Tetris simply works best when it's not altered much. Yes you are likely going to have a fun time. The one franchise on that list I'm a huge fan of is Lego. Yeah Lego gotten so high on this list. It's not because it's one of the most popular toys in the entire world either. Although, a lot of people who grew up with them have such nostalgia.

Let's be honest, those license games by TT Games are a very huge reason why they're selling so well. You could even say fan service in most cases. You get a lot of your favorite franchises with some changes. You get to explore a good amount of their world or universe. You also get a lot of characters as well as weapons, vehicles and collectibles.

I played just enough of them to tell you it's one of my favorites. The main reason I don't often say it actually is should be quite obvious. Most of the time I'm going to be talking about their license video games. Therefore in my mind, those games are more for other franchises than just Lego franchise. If that makes any sense, you'll tell me.

These games are virtually packed with content. Some of which will keep you busy for a long time no joke. Free Mode is absolutely amazing stuff. Easily one of my absolute favorite modes in a video game hands down. Free Mode is basically you can replay the levels again. However you are allowed to switch out characters.

Which means, this time you can fully explore the level. You can go for the 100% completion process more directly. There's plenty of surprises you will miss during your first runs. Honestly, I highly recommend playing these games. Obviously, some are better than others. As previously stated, everyone has different taste.

Not only that, most of them are surprisingly on multiple platforms. In other words, for the most part you have no excuse not playing these. Yes, the campaign will take a few hours to complete. It never seems to be too long, some levels do feel notably longer than expected. I also love the insane level of creativity.

Yes, a lot of these games has a lot of dlcs. Thankfully, they do often go on sell making it easier to get what you need. You also can play a lot of them with a friend or family member since they have an coop feature. A feature The Simpsons Game ripped off lol. You also can use cheats you either have unlocked or use passwords to get.

These are mostly achievement/trophy friendly games. It doesn't mean they are giving them away that away. You might even be surprised how much you gotta do to get any of them to an 100% completion. I done so with a handful of them with the craziest being Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2 on Xbox One. Now that one took hours to get the process done but mostly a fun time.

Honestly, there's something for everyone in these games. I'm not that surprised it gotten so high to begin with. Even without these amazing Lego games, eventually it would be up that high. Obviously, it would've taken longer without them. For license game standards, I say these are absolutely must play games.

Hell I'm going to say those license Lego games are better than Grand Theft Auto series. Yes shots literately fired, moving on you are in total control. You get so much nostalgia you are mind blown. If it doesn't happen with one, eventually it's going to happen. For some odd reason, they sure love Star Wars lol.

Some of them has an open world game play, which adds so much more to the overall experience. Some of these games are surprisingly amazing at what they do. Lego did a great job giving TT games these great franchises to work with. I do predict less than five years, Lego will be right under GTA franchise on that list.

Explaining my selection of villains for someone else's picture concept

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, A few days ago I came across a particular picture concept I had. Very quickly, I got to work on my villains team. Don't worry, I'm going to link the picture in question down below. Within the description of that picture whoever made it asked. Pick an villain from an anime, an cartoon, Marvel, DC and an video game you want as a team.


The first thing I'm going to do is tell you all I didn't select the villains this person selected. I wanted to be more creative, I guess also more chaotic at the same time with my choices. Well you could even argue I may went a little too chaotic lol. I will break down my entire process what led to me choosing these five particular villains.

My villains team
1. Blackbeard from One Piece
2. Aku from Samurai Jack
3. Dr. Doom from Marvel
4. The Batman Who Laughs from DC
5. Dracula from Castlevania

Blackbeard from One Piece

I'm sure a lot of people when they read this are going to have huge reactions to my selection. Obviously, just one of them is scary enough. I actually felt this is a scary potential team if they work together could take on anyone. Honestly, a rough fracture what they bring to the table is enough to make people back off. We are virtually talking armies under their command.

Blackbeard is one of the Four Emperors. The World Government doesn't want to risk having an war with Emperor Blackbeard. Not to mention, his crew widely known for stealing devil fruit powers. Which does involve killing the previous users in the process. He held his own against some big named characters. He also known as the first person to wield two devil fruit powers.

A feat previously thought to be impossible to do. Keep in mind, this still isn't explained in the manga series. Eventually, we will get an answer a lot of people are dying to know. His original devil fruit is essentially darkness. Yes he may lack the usual Logia type devil fruit advantage of becoming darkness fully.

In it's place, he does have some scary stuff like manipulating his own gravity as well as negating other devil fruit powers through touch. Blackbeard also proven to be a skilled strategist in his own right. Currently has several ships with a few thousands of pirates under his command. Yeah I really wasn't kidding about the World Government didn't wanna risk an war with him.

2. Aku from Samurai Jack

Aku is the ultimate evil in his universe. He predates many things except the three gods that previously tried to kill him. Aku has a long list of abilities that makes him a God to many people. He has done several unpleasant things to the universe especially to his nemesis, Samurai Jack. Aku has a very strict method to be harm even killed through a particular sword created by the three gods.

Aku can shape shift with the usual limitations. He does have the power to send others through time. He even can split himself enough to make an army of himself no lie. Virtually, Aku can do anything he wants. There isn't even an limit to his powers. Only making contact with a certain sword prevents his regeneration to a degree.

Aku by himself conquered the universe over time. Of course, there's plenty of people that helps Aku in some way. Yes this includes those he's forced to do his bidding. Aku held his own many times against Samurai Jack. He really does live up to the title of the ultimate evil for the most part. He can take out countries by himself if left unchecked.

Aku is clever with his own coward side. Not only that, he also previously manipulated Samurai Jack while disguised as a woman. If Aku demands it, things are going to happen. No matter how truly ugly it actually is. Aku also never used time portals himself. He also couldn't warn his past self of Samurai Jack coming back to the past to finish him for good.

3. Dr. Doom from Marvel comics

Dr. Doom may not look like it but when you look into the actual character. This guy is very unique to what he brings to the table. He is a ruler of his own country. Usually most characters are either technology or magic among them. Dr. Doom actually does both of them perfectly. He actually rivals the likes of Dr. Strange & Iron Man in their respective fields.

Dr. Doom also has several centuries worth of experience under his belt. His armor is surprisingly durable, he even survived an blast from the Power gem. He is the most recurring enemy to the superhero team, The Fantastic Four. Especially to their leader, Mister Fantastic for several reasons. Dr. Doom isn't afraid to take on anyone pun very intended!!!

He also has a particular device that allows him to steal insane power from ridiculously powerful beings. Which does include The Beyonder whose stated to have enough destroy power. I quote "to destroy the entire multiverse." An multiverse is an infinite amount of several universes for those that didn't know. There do exist some insanely powerful versions of Dr. Doom.

He also makes Doombots that are programmed to think they are the real Doom. Obviously, those fail in comparison to the real Doom. He also can travel to other universes himself. He once had two different universes' Infinity Gauntlets. Sadly neither were in their original universes making them useless. Dr. Doom is a force the Avengers take very seriously.

4. The Batman Who Laughs from DC comics

The Batman Who Laughs originally came from an dark universe within it's own multiverse. There's more related confusion coming up. The Joker was at his worst doing some nightmare fuel stuff one night. This forced Batman into another fight with his nemesis that had an unexpectedly ending. Batman ended up breaking The Joker's neck while gas Joker hid inside his mouth came out to infect Batman.

No this isn't Joker's Laughing Gas it's much worst than that. This gas was essentially altering Batman to becoming the perfect chaotic mixture of himself and his nemesis, The Joker. Batman ends up killing all the heroes including the Justice League as well as the Bat family. Some deaths are so horrific I can't even discuss em.

The Batman Who Laughs has a device that allows him to travel to other universes. He even led his own team of evil Batmen characters. Essentially, his own twisted, dark Justice League at it's core. he also killed several universes' Batman as well. Batman Who Laughs has a few vicious Robins that act like angry dogs towards people.

His level of evil rivals such comic book villains as The Violator, Judge Death, Carnage and a few more. He still has the usual Batman traits making him essentially the worst person imaginable. He does have his own gadgets as well as maintains his black belt fighting skills. Adding in The Joker's DNA makes him incredibly difficult to predict.

5. Dracula from Castlevania

I felt I should make it more clear I'm going to be talking about the original game timeline Dracula. I'm not here to discuss some non canon versions neither to discuss the Netflix show version. Most of them are essentially their own takes on the same character with very notable changes. Dracula is the lord of darkness & nemesis to the Belmont clan.

He commands a huge variety of supernatural beings including his right hand man, Death. Yes even the Grim Reaper himself is a servant to this vampire. Dracula has centuries worth of experience. Although, it takes an century to return with his full power. Even being a notable fracture of it, Dracula still proven to be a threat.

Dracula also has an unusual castle or castles as in the case of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. These are also a part of his power as well as a spell that always makes it night wherever the castle is. Dracula can even fuse with Death if he needs to. As shown with his descendant Soma, Dracula also can use traits from his souls.

Basically, if one soul allows him to attack with greater force. Dracula potentially could use that soul to better his chances. Some souls can also allow him to manipulate even time to a degree. Not an ability he regularly uses but it's worth noting he can use it. Dracula has some of the usual vampire weaknesses. He has been defeated by those not of the Belmont Clan a few times.

Overall

Blackbeard has thousands of pirates under his command. Dr. Doom has an entire county under his that could be used in some situations. Aku ruled the universe allowing more crazy possibilities to happen. Dracula has an unconfirmed amount of beings. He can open portals including to the Chaos Realm. Although through different methods, two of them can travel through other universes.

We already went beyond what one universe could handle. So it's a question how much of the multiverse can handle a team like this? There's also so many abilities making it very difficult for the heroes to strategize against. Aku is lucky for having a strict method to being harm even killed by. This is a team that really covering all their bases.

Both supernaturally and technology wise. Dr. Doom could work with Batman Who Laughs for some unpleasant surprises. The Batman Who Laughs would be the best fighter with to no powers among them. Aku can split himself up enough to make an army if they needed him to. No matter what, they always have the numbers on their side.

Dracula also has a spell to have with his most fatal weakness. We still don't know if being close to the actual sun if the spell still works or fails. Dracula can manipulate the dead that also plays to their numbers advantage. Dr. Doom could bring in a couple Doombots. The other Batmen characters might show up to help The Batman Who Laughs.

Other people involved with Aku might show up like gangsters too. Only if they felt Aku was going to lose. They still want to be criminals after all. Two of them can open portals to bring in the numbers doesn't help things either. It also doesn't help Death usually defeated by holy weapons. Otherwise, they can't do much to the Grim Reaper.

Dracula also has transformation, yes it differs on the amount of forms. Mostly we see Dracula have two forms. On some occasions, Dracula has more than two forms. Dracula could have the advantage if the heroes were inside his castle. Considering the castle is a part of his power, he could alter it to a degree to limit their options.

Blackbeard still has the weakness of water mostly seawater. He also can be weakened by anything made with seastone. Both of these could become fatal weaknesses. Thankfully, he's among the strongest pirates. Not to mention, two of the scariest devil fruit powers in existence. Both of them do allow him to control any battlefield he's fighting on.

He can use his original devil fruit to force someone come to his hand while get prepare to use the other hand. All of a sudden, you are at the mercy of both his devil fruits. Yes, both those powers could handle their own against a lot of people. His former captain's devil fruit gives the user the power of earthquakes.

This essentially makes him a bigger threat to weaker planets if he uses too much of that power. Dr. Doom has plenty of experience taking on powerhouse characters too. He isn't afraid facing superhero teams by himself either. Aku could send Dracula back in time to prevent getting defeated while he had full power to better his team's chances too.

I felt this team would cover up their weaknesses well. Sadly, the only real flaw is what eventually occurs to most villains teams. Some of them are going to get greedy then attempt to steal what all of them worked hard to get. Let's be honest, The Batman Who Laughs is the least likely to do this. But the same can't be said for the other four members.

Virtually as long they stick together. I don't think there's many teams that could take them down. Even if we created the hero variation made of their main enemies to take em on. Personally, I don't think that team would be as successful in comparison. Now that speaks volumes how truly terrifying this team can be.

Some of them also have ways to keep an eye on things to get prepare for whatever coming their way. Let's be honest, this team is going to be close to impossible to surprise attack. There's already a lot of factors that playing against the heroes. You could even label this team the Multiverse Doomsday Eliminators.

Yes I know not the best name shut up lol. This is a team that has plenty of ways to stay on top. No matter how ridiculous the situation is. I strongly felt this team would be simply too much to most of them in their own right. I should also mention, Dracula can summon meteorites too. Virtually physically, mentally, spiritually or all of them is all covered in some way.

Obviously Dr. Doom, Aku & Dracula covers all three with ease. Two of those is The Batman Who Laughs with Blackbeard covers minus spiritually. Yes he is an Haki user using his willpower. But this isn't the same as stealing someone's soul or flat out corrupting them at their core. You don't wanna be found sleeping within their radius either.

Blackbeard's crew would cover the sea while the other four members covers everything else. Sometimes, Aku may step in but otherwise mostly Blackbeard's crew keeping an eye out for threats. They aren't regular pirates either making them much worst for anyone who runs into them. All these crazy devil fruit powers makes even the thought of escaping seem like an impossibility.

I hope by now you fully see why I quickly chosen these five particular villains to be in my own villains team. I also felt a certain someone on Facebook would be very surprise I wrote all of this out. Honestly, I had a blast with even picking out the team. I had even more fun writing all of this. To better explain why such an chaotic team?

The answer is quite simple, too normal of a villains team. Most hero teams can easily take them down. However a team like this where it's close to impossible to predict all the insane situations. Not to mention have more ground covered than you originally expected. Virtually makes them the single biggest threat of an entire multiverse if left unchecked.

Puppet Master: The Game (beta) review

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, you knew eventually I had to talk about Puppet Master: The Game. Right now it's in beta but I was able to get all the achievements currently in the game at this time. I did promise those on discord, I'll come back. Don't worry this will be a pleasant review. This might even be the best thing with the franchise's name on it in years honestly.

Before I start my review, yes I'm aware of a new Puppet Master movie called Puppet Master: Furnace Leech Woman coming out. Of course I'm curious to check it out since it's own follow up to Puppet Master 2. The third spin off film in the franchise. I also quickly wanna say Demonic Toys: Jack Attack happening, Jack Attack was my favorite among those characters.

I kinda understand why Fullmoon Productions is going this sudden change in direction. They are trying to make easier to get movies out. By also increase the story to particular characters in the process. Kinda like what Warner Brothers Animation doing with the animated Mortal Kombat movies. I should also point out some characters from Subspecies is in Horror Legends, another game by the same team.

Puppet Master: The Game (2023)

Yes there's several horror movie franchises going the online multiplayer route. Technically speaking, this beta was around even longer than Friday the 13th: The Game. Although, more recently Fullmoon made this game officially. A little weird I know but licensing is a frustrating process. Currently there's three human characters with seven puppets you can play as.

I don't wanna confirmed what's possibly coming to the game in the near future. I don't wanna ruin the surprises especially for Puppet Master fans. There's currently two maps for single player portion. Of course, there's multiplayer with it's own rules. Don't worry I'm going to be covering both aspects shortly. Puppet Master: The Game is currently free to play on Steam with no paid dlcs.

Single player mode you only play as the puppets. You have three objectives you must complete while having three lifes. Thankfully you can get healed by finding the formula hidden in the vents. You only have two enemies you'll run into. Mostly you will face the agent character, also a playable character. You also can take on totems as in those characters from both Puppet Master 4 and 5 respectively.

They are protecting the pyramid on the board. The same board from those Puppet Master movies. You have to destroy ten raven statues. Some of them are well hidden I say. After those are all destroyed, simply return to the trunk to win the match. When you die with lifes available you can switch out to another puppet character.

You also can collect five files, mostly all the stuff I just explained. Plus you got to finish em as a particular puppet character. They made every attack from the puppets not only accurate but fun to use as well. This game is going to give games like Evil Dead: The Game a run for it's money. You have to weaken the agent enough to trigger the killing animations.

My favorite among them is surprisingly Jester. Yeah I do like most of them but Jester steals the show. He has this mallet, he's about to smack the agent in the face. At the last minute decides to hit em in the balls then whacks him in the face afterwards. Now that's funny to me, I'm glad he does that in the game. They also have different outfits as well as different color sets for their main weapons.

Multiplayer portion, you can be on either side. If you play as an human character you'll need to collect three particular items. Then you have to activate the elevator to come to the floor. After thirty seconds, you can use it to escape. I never said that's going to be easy though. If you are one of the players as the puppets, you only have one goal.

Just one, eliminate the human player. The puppets gets as many opportunities. As long the human haven't escaped yet, they keep coming back. However for the human player, if they die the match is over. Humans have a different heal method that's more automatically. Despite that, the puppets can be quite overwhelming at times.

Achievements wise, I felt those are well selected. Yes the famous Puppet Master theme is in the game too. The actual look and feel of the game matches perfectly with the movies. You can open or shut doors on both sides making matches interesting to watch. As previously stated, the puppets can use the vents to have other possible angles to surprise attack the human player.

Human players have limited ammo while the puppets never fully runs out. Yes some of them do have to reload before using again but the actual animations aren't long at all. Hell playing as Six Shooter, it's so satisfying to hear his reloading animation. I strongly felt this game when it's out of beta going to be a popular horror multiplayer game.

Puppet Master: The Game already has people not familiar with the franchise. I can't say you would enjoy the movies unless that's your thing truthfully. What I can say is you gotta play this game. No really, the controls take a little time getting use to. There's actual depth in things that makes it easier to keep coming back for more.

Unless Dead by Daylight aka the money sucking vampire deity. I don't think October Games is going to get that greedy. If anything, I willingly bought the paid dlcs for Horror Legends. Those were money well spent in comparison. These guys truly knows how to make decent horror multiplayer games. They also more directly about their communities as well.

Yes there's some improvements that's going to happen eventually. I will say in it's current state, this game is easily one of the most fun games of this style I ever played. They absolutely nailed everything down perfectly. It may be in beta state but for a game in beta state it's mind blowing greatness. Honestly, if you haven't seen the movies you're likely going to enjoy playing this game.

If this game makes you wanna check out the movies. I just hope you enjoy em to the best of your ability. Puppet Master is almost as old as Child's Play/Chucky franchise. Yet Puppet Master gets a decent license game first is already mind blowing in and of itself. I felt the future for this game will be brighter than Last Year: The Nightmare since that already got shut down no surprise.

I do need to confirm some modders are working on a possible loop hole to get Last Year back online soon. If you are a fan of that game you may wanna go check that out soon. There's even a recent trailer as proof. I just wish Hide or Die would've gotten that since I wanna play that game myself. Sadly the opportunity already passed me.

Two more Mortal Kombat movies review

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, nearly two years ago. I reviewed some Mortal Kombat movies. In particular among those was Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge. Well I'm back with the two newer entries in the same animated MK movie series. As a huge MK fan, of course eventually I had to talk about these.

Before I go into the actual reviews, yes I'm aware another animated MK movie in the same series is coming out this year. Eventually I'll get to watch it then review the film in similar fashion.

Mortal Kombat Legends: Battle of the Realms (2021)

This directly continues the story in Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge. The movie changes the main character from Scorpion to Liu Kang. We all knew this was going to happen, it works well for the movie. They borrow stuff from MKII, MK3, MK4 and MKX respectively. They reveal more of Liu Kang's past. Some brutal deaths, well it's Mortal Kombat that's obvious.

It's like you know in John Wick movies, a lot of people are going to die. We all already accepted the fact. Yes Scorpion is still in the movie. A lot of characters done way better than in Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. You could argue parts of this being better than the newer live action MK movie as well. The story is told well enough with some notable parts that doesn't quite come together.

For me to explain what I mean, I would have to spoil the big surprise early. Which I don't plan on doing, I will say this is one of the better MK movies hands down. I liked how Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero started continued spiritually with these movies. Honestly, this was the way to go while the team works on more MK games as well as dlcs.

Yes I'm well aware Mortal Kombat 12 is coming out this year. I personally can't wait to play it myself soon. There's some painful moments to watch, there's no sugar coating that. I felt they did a good job with the overall ratio of things. It easily could've been ruined in record time. Obviously, this has some changes to make it more of it's own thing.

Which I can respect since they are the ones telling these stories not us. Mortal Kombat always had interesting aspects in it's concepts including the story telling. Yes, a lot of us came to watch all these brutal finishers. I would be lying to say I didn't either because you bet I enjoyed the level of gore this movie has. There's some fan service for sure here.

There's two main plots going on that eventually comes together. In other words, Liu Kang ends up having two decisive battles in a row with the later being more unexpected in a few ways. If anyone in MK universe worthy enough to be called their own Doomslayer, it's Liu Kang. I would say check this movie out if you're a fan of the series.

Yes they do a follow up tournament as well. Not long after it's conclusion is Shinnok using the power of the One Being to unmake everything. Keep in mind, Raiden not only gave up his god powers. He also got killed during the tournament. The Elder Gods became Liu Kang into a god just like in MK11. They even had Liu Kang used his dragon form against Shinnok.

Compared to how poorly that concept was done in Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. They didn't have to give that redemption. But in a way, I'm sorta glad they did. This is why I say they pulled from MK4 because in the original MK timeline, MK4 happened after MK3. In the more recent time line, MK4 was virtually replaced by MKX.

Both MK4 and MKX were about Shinnok trying to conquer while attempted to bring back the One Being in some way. Obviously, this meant Hell itself was going to be unleashed on everything. Shinnok is the devil in MK canon, its true he wasn't the original devil in the time lines. The point is this god out of his mind.

He actually wanna unmake everything with virtually no consideration at all. Yes they did bring in the controversial Lin Kuei decision as well. You know the one where the Grand Master forcing it's own members to become cyborg ninjas. Although, they surprisingly changed the reason for doing so. Originally in all confirmed game timelines, it was making the clan soulless.

Thus, the clan wouldn't be affected by Shao Kahn's soulnado. In this movie's timeline, they did it to become "superior ninjas" I'm not joking. Yeah it kinda ruined the point but still works for the movie. I felt this was a good follow up in it's own right. Even considering, a lot of popular characters being used way better than a certain MK movie.

You know the one right? Mortal Kombat: Annihilation is just so bad!!! Mortal Kombat Legends: Battle of the Realms is one of the best MK movies to date. By now the original Mortal Kombat: The Journey Begins is becoming more forgotten. Which is a good thing because that's also not a great MK movie either.

Mortal Kombat Legends: Snow Blind (2022)

I am going to start what might be considered controversial. So far this easily became my favorite among the animated MK movies. Yeah no joke this one was a roller coaster from the beginning up to the end. This one largely pulled from MK11 including the big twist. This one follows an older Sub-Zero that's no longer an Lin Kuei member as well as lack of clan which gets explained later on.

Unexpectedly, he ends up training Kenshi through out the movie. The movie greatly reminds me of Rurouni Kenshin franchise. I'll even compare the two right now. Kenshin Himura aka Hitokiri Battosai the Man Slayer was the top assassin of his era. He used to kill people up to a point he left that life behind.

Which also can be considered a possible inspiration for characters like John Wick. Sub-Zero was among the best of his clan back in the day. Of course, ninjas were no strangers to killing people. After a tragedy, Sub-Zero vowed to never use his powers again. We get to see how Kenshi loss his sight in a brutal deception by Shang Tsung.

Kenshi starts out as this cocky fighter until he got defeated badly by Tremor. Yes Tremor as in the Earth manipulating ninja is in the movie. The main antagonist is Kano now being called King Kano. King Kano wants to take over everywhere with virtually no regard at all. This movie actually shows you why Sonya hates him so much.

Yes there's an unexplained huge time gap from the previous movies to this one. Stuff like that gets explained later on. Sub-Zero puts up with some unpleasantness until he decides to finally fight back. Yes Scorpion returns as well very excited for that. Scorpion always been my favorite MK character since child hood.

Some of the most brutal kills by far are in this movie. I'm actually going to give out an fair warning. If you have a weak stomach, I highly suggest you don't want this MK movie. Animated or not, they really don't hold back on the gore. I felt the story telling was at it's best. At least to me it was told nearly perfectly including the big twist.

In MK11's Story Mode including the dlc expansion portion. We were introduced to a certain crown. This crown can allow people in a particular location alter the course of things. Well, surprisingly in this time line Kano claimed the crown. Virtually everything that occurs in this movie for the most part was his doing.

Yes all of it because he wanted to become king of everything. The final battle between Sub-Zero & King Kano was one of the most interesting to date. This movie shows you how truly Sub-Zero could be if he doesn't hold back. After destroying that location, Sub-Zero agrees to go to Netherrealm with Scorpion because he broken his vow.

Before leaving, he officially made Kenshi the new leader of the Lin Kuei clan. I liked he passed the torch to him. I also liked Tremor had this magma appearance as well. I felt the movie as a whole actually was the best MK movie I ever seen in all honestly. I know I'm praising the hell out of this movie pun very intended.

Mortal Kombat Legends: Snow Blind felt like what Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero should've been. Now I know that game was a prequel with the other brother being Sub-Zero. If you are an Sub-Zero fan, you're very likely going to be proud of this movie. Honestly, you really can not go wrong with this MK movie.
