Balder I thought we changed this one for Solitaire, but this one is still cool to have it mentioned.
I was guilty of never owning any Bloody Roar game on PlayStation or PlayStation 2. I highly regret it. In fact, I didn't even owned this one, and we had a GameCube in the house.
However this game is still one of the most nostalgic games for me because at the time I had two close groups of friends.
One group is the one I would invite over to play Contra, Gradius, Mortal Kombat, and the other group is the one I would get together with in one of my friends' house.
He owned this game, but everyone in that group of friends was into Tony Hawk, Smash Bros., and I wasn't much, so every time I would visit we would play this game instead, and since I liked it so much I managed to pump up everyone into liking it too.
We would play for hours and the whole afternoon would fly back really quick. I remember we actually had a movie theater very close by so we would just walk there after, and finish those afternoons with a movie.
Those were really cool times, more simple in so many ways, so it is nice to get in touch with those moments.
I'm actually not close to that group anymore, maybe I should fix that. The other group of friends I'm still close with, and I basically consider them my family, but this Bloody Roar group I lost touch with, but I have them in social media.
The makers of this game later went into making the excellent Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom, and the beautiful Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3, which are some of the best fighting games of the last decade.
They all come from Toaplan, the makers of Truxton, Hellfire, Slap Fight , Twin Cobra, Fireshark, Twin Hawk, Zero Wing, etc..
To me they are some of the most legendary developers ever, and I thank them for the amazing experience they gave us through this game at the time.
