GOES SO FUCKING H A R D
this is a total asshole of a video game but in the way where you get in the rhythm of it, your reaction times get better
youre actively learning and then the level sinks back down
THAT R U SH OF YOU BEATING THE FUCK OUT OF SIX GUYS ON LVL DIE LIKE IT AINT S H I I I I II T AND THEN YOU CHARGE THAT WILD PITCH UP AND YOU SEND THAT SHIT HOOOOOOOOME AHAHAHAHAHAH ITS SO FUCKING SICK!!!
I dont even think the "eoOOoeOO I AM EVIL SEXEY LADY" shit is cringe i think its more funny than anything else bc of how fast and powerful everything is in this game
Now the story and characters are really not deep at all, not that i went into this expecting such but everybody in the cast does a pretty well performance thats elevated by their VAs
Jean's VA is so fucking good that im surprised this guy isnt in a shitload of other media
he mustve quit, which is sad but god i loved a lot of his weird delivery that reminded me of an old 00s anime dub

My most hated fucking enemy to fight in this game was easily the big dickhead megatron robot because of how sporadic he would move all the time on Lvl Die even though i would Think i read his ass but i didnt
I think that the whip girls are atrocious to fight in a pack though, i usually singled them out when i activated the God Hand Fever because their range is so AIDS!!!!!

but i love the aesthetic, some of the levels particularly in the cave were looking samey up until the end but they were nice and varied and didnt feel like i was purely going down a hallway all the time atleast. Thank god there was no nonlinear puzzle stage or some shit, that wouldve given me a hernia

But yeah the writing is fun and inherently really simple, the moves are incredibly fun to use, theres some dope ass bosses you can deal with and all in all its just a REALLY good time that humbles you and then immediately has you on a power-high when youve jusT KNOCKED ALL THEM BITCHES OUT WITH FUCKING SHAOXLIN B L A S T AHAHAHHAHAHH
play it.
hell, i played it on normal mode so its probably infinitely more accessible in easy mode
Easily one of my new favorite games of all time, my favorite character action game on the ps2 and that credits song is the cherry on top
this shit got me to realize that Capcom's most experimental shit is probably exactly what im looking for in video games
No longer do i just seek games that are weird as hell
but now also dope as Fuck.
