That's unfortunate. Still, thanks for the reply.

Playing Last Resort had me wishing you could duplicate the shoot button with one having turbo and one not.
Turbo was super helpful but I can't do the charge attack with it turned on.

Do the controls on some of the fighters seem reaaaally finicky to anybody else? In particular, I mean the window for pressing two or more buttons at the same time. For me, with both joycons and pro controller, it's basically impossible to hit two buttons at the same time that aren't already mapped as a combo to one of the triggers.
I see this is Waku Waku 7, Garou, and KoF 98. I can't do a lot of specials or feints in garou, and you basically can't do anything in Waku Waku.
Hell, even the trigger buttons that are mapped to hit two at once (A & B or C&D for example, in Garou) don't work sometimes, and I'll randomly get the effect of having only hit one. I get that it might be a bit easier on an arcade machine to hit them both, but was the timing really that tight?

You can turn the difficulty down in the settings to practise.

I really hope Hamster patches all of these to be more user friendly as far as button layouts.

Are all these games working great now? I heard there was some issues at launch.
Oddly enough that is the easiest Rugal in a KOF game.

Genocide cutters for days in 94 and 95.
Sticking to my two NeoGeo games a paycheck plan and bought:
Last Resort
Shock Troopers
YOOO, these games are fucking legit!
EDIT: Thanks for the Last Resort scans, AmyS!
No problem!
So now, ACA Last Resort is available on Switch, Xbox One and PS4
And 2002 as the genocide cutter is upgraded with additional attacks plus he can combo with genocide cutters in that game.

Not actually that important
ZR works as a non-turbo shoot button
when you activate Turbo on a front-face
button.
ZL duplicates the button to lock/unlock your pod.
Not yet but it's probably between Sengoku or Shock Troopers 2nd Squad. Might also end up Magical Drop II, Fatal Fury 2 or Metal Slug 2.

Think almost all arcade fighters were like that. I remember in original SF2, the stages were stuck on boxer because everyone else was beaten that night in vs, but since no one could play bosses yet, the battleground stage on the weekends were Las Vegas. It only advanced the stage if you let someone beat the cpu boss and went to Spain, Thailand etc would it continue from that stage.

I really love Shock Troopers, if you love Metal Slug you might want to consider it.
This week Switch is getting Shock Troopers: 2nd Squad, PS4 is getting Sengoku 2, and Xbone is getting King of the Monsters.

The very reason that the Neogeo CD version is the best one. There is a real vs mode, and you can choose stages.
Really? That's pretty insane. I think the thing I miss most is a training mode to practice moves. I have no idea how to do moves in this game and it makes it 100% harder to do anything. The only way to practice is to play the computer and I end up getting thrashed so bad. Ha, ha! Oh well. Next week I'm gonna pick up Garou since I didn't get it when it was first released. Looking forward to playing that.
Thanks for the update.

I usually see folks say they prefer the first one, but I'm excited to give part 2 a shot. The graphics look awesome.
I didn't like what I played of it. I never played the first one though.
Thanks!
Hori pad and stick coming in July!

Hori needs to make a left joycon with an actual d-pad or an 8-way switch a la NeoGeo Pocket.
Goku and Dio get to fight Greek Gods? That's one hell of a crossover.
Oh yes! 99% of my Switch playtime is handheld, need a left joycon with a dpad asap.
Lol me too, I have not docked the switch since. I gotten it, really hope the hori controller is affordable.
Yeah, 94, 95 and even 02 Rugals are more challenging. Also, Garou is great, good pick up.

Shock troopers 2 is a huge step back from everything that made the first game so good, its a terrible disappointment and have no idea where you heard it was superior to the first.

The weird graphics-style change aside, I think it plays fine and the vehicles are cool. It's probably worth $8. But yeah, the first game is better.

I dunno if this has been mentioned, but according to the HORI site for the Switch HRAP, it's PC compatible as well =D

I don't have a fight stick, been back and forth for a long time, but I'll definitely grab this (if the quality is the same as the other HRAP V's). I was afraid it might be like the Xbone arcade sticks, which thanks to some weird Microsoft driver thing, don't work on PC (unless that's changed?).

Anyone wanna bet what's in for tomorrow?
I wanna say I read somewhere that Shock Troopers 2 is due.

I don't understand gafs disdain for shock troopers 2, the first one is OK, but I much prefer the sequel and it's art style, the presentation in the sequel is just fantastic, much better sound too.

Too bad, was hoping for Last Blade or Metal Slug X.
