Bravo! Bravo me? No sir, bravo you.
I remember wanting to buy this on the Virtual Console for some reason, I think I was a dumbass who just saw "bravo" and immediately thought of Johnny Bravo. Hopefully I used those Virtual Console points for something better.
When you first boot this up I guarantee you're gonna be rolling on the floor laughing for a bit, because look at this ridiculous shithead. You see him between every stage, and every time he says "I'm Dr. Bomb" in crappy voice quality while his speech bubbles say something completely different. He's the main villain, but he's nice enough to inform me on what stage I'm on. What a nice lad.
Aside from him though Bravoman himself is a dork, he's got stretchy limbs for some reason which includes even his neck, allowing him to throw out headbutts from downtown in a creepy looking and disgusting manner. These attacks are all kinda awkward to use though, you can hold the button which extends your attacks further while Bravoman goes "Bravo!" like the dork that he is. Bravoman seems to suffer the same weakness as his fellow stretchy limbs user Dhalsim where his hitbox feels bigger than what is seen on-screen, starting at stage four it felt like everything found a way to land a hit on me despite me trying my damnedest to be as elusive as possible.
Of course it also tries to be a horizontal shmup at one point, sorry buddy but you don't get free points for that, I don't accept brown-nosing.
Excuse me for going off-topic, but what the fuck this guy got a mini-series in 2013?!!? Rob Paulsen what the fuck are you doing?!

It's so weird, I don't remember this ShiftyLook stuff at all. I went into this game thinking Bravoman was some random one-shot thing, but Namco apparently tried multiple times to get this guy over with western fans.
