Kumamoto, JapanAsuka 120 Burning Fest Series latest release as of the past few years has been the Arcade EXA exclusive Asuka 120% BURNING Fest. EXALLENT. Which means this is only playable on those specific cabs for the current time.
Currently there are few known arcades across Japan, and other places across the world that do have this game cart loaded up and ready to play. If you did need help finding a location I personally or other members of the fighting discord would always be willing to help you track one down.
So far the main category for this is Normal% just because I need to figure out how to access dip switches and at the time was not able to on the board.
Just a small intro for what could also be considered an elusive game in an already hard to own series of Asuka 120 percent!
Thanks for reaching out @RichardReal1
The only thing I have been big on is keeping the One Piece Nakama's together in the same community, so I will leave Treasure Cruise moderation mainly to you unless you need help with something specific.
As per our discussion you have been added here too, The only thing that at some point needs a separate category or update is the All Single Missions, seeing as how the mission count has increased over the years now.
Anyone who is enthusiastic about One Piece is an instant Friend. Much success in your speedruns as well!
So like many of you I was curious, what exactly is Rage of the Dragons Neo.
A simple explanation is this was an attempt to bring Rage of the Dragons to consumers who might not have the ability to play the Arcade version.
The game balance is exactly the same, with the main exception being that Johann is now playable. He apparently was playable in the AES version with a code, although very buggy, now those bugs have been fixed and he can be experienced in all his cheapness.
Johann is completely allowed in the Arcade mode, and just as broken. So essentially this board might as well be called the Johann Rage of the Dragon Speedruns.
There is also a new "Dragon Challenge" Mode, though I have to dive into this personally. It seems to be some sort of survival mode. It could be added if there is a clear ending to the mode.
Aside from some quality of life changes, and a menu that lets you experience the music and some achievements, there isn't much here. Though, I am happy that more people can experience this game.
If are doing a run without Johann, and on Fightcade, Emulation, or Arcade. Then please submit a run here; https://www.speedrun.com/rage_of_the_dragons
I've added this game to the shrek series discord. I think it makes sense to keep Shrek games together rather than have a small inactive discord.
It's been a long long time since there has been an update here, but with the Switch NEOGEO POCKET COLOR SELECTION Vol.1 being the best port of the game, its allowed us to have access to the game at all times and avoid having to use emulation.
Since coming back, I realized this leaderboard should have some things added.
- The normal previous rules from the leaderboard were that all runs were to be done on normal. These 4 runs, have been moved to to normal%
- Created the difficulty sub category, with Easy, Normal, and Hard Percents to reflect the difficulty in the game.
- Created the character annotation
- Alfred is an unlockable secret character but I think should be allowed.
- Lao is only available in versus mode after doing research.
- Any% can't be added because the round settings in this game only go to 2 or 3. This game is already a short clear.
- Updated the logo image
- Added the background image as well.
That's it for now, it was nice to revisit one of the first games I submitted to on speedrun.com. I really think that this game while lacking some of the other features and modes of the other Neo Geo Pocket Color entries, is a very good entry in the Fatal Fury series.
The biggest way to get thing added, is to just communicate clearly and directly what you need. The previous messages were honestly very difficult to understand the categories that you wanted added. A video would have gone a long way.
I really hope more of the Indonesian community who runs this game participates in the Tokusatsu discord, especially if you like ultraman, there's tons of information and ways to discuss the series and games there. Speedrunning is a great way to bridge fandoms as well, there just has to be an effective means to communicate on both sides. Until then, at the least, my dms are open and this forum is available.
I have added Story Mode, Any% and 100%
I have also updated clarified some of the rules, The best way to reach me as stated is in DM or Discord. Shoutouts to @koko_bandicoot for being able to clearly explain the requested categories.
I also banned some phone emulation. Don't use that, phone emulation is still highly inaccurate and I noticed frame skips on certain moves and loads. I will most likely be separating physical and emulation as well too since this is a PS2 game.
I will be double checking the leaderboards as well too, if anything needs a retime.
SNK made gold back in the day when they made Samurai Spirits. And like every hit back then, it was ported back to a ton of consoles like the SNES, Genesis, the 3DO, and Saturn from the Arcade.
A couple of versions were built from the ground up or assets changed dramatically. So the Game Gear and Game Boy versions now have their own leaderboard with their own runs.

https://www.speedrun.com/Samurai_Shodown_Game_Gear In addition to porting, some things like difficulty were added. Would members who are still active here like to see difficulty added?
If you have questions or suggestions please post here or in the discord. Alternatively you can reach out to @janglestorm or @DBcade
On a side note, the majority of the series is finally up today, along with a lot of extra info in the fighting game discord. We have seen a lot samurai shodown submission at events in Japan, which I will be posting over the vods over the next month. Maybe we can see some revived activity and interest at Speedyfists or other Speedrun events this year!?!
In general its best to ask people when adding runs, your welcome to ask staff of SRC if you don't want to take my word for it.
I'm not sure I understand your message
"There is a big problem in general with unsubmitted videos and that is cheating. I saw 4 NGPC Gals Fighters and Samurai Shodown 2 runs and they're all spliced. Inflating your skill for YouTube cred took me by surprise."
Are you saying there are spliced videos on the site? That's a big accusation, I'd prefer you follow through with discussion like that in private and with proof and receipts. Things like that can be slanderous to other players. I also don't understand who are talking about inflating their skill for Youtube credit.
Looking forward to seeing the runs, for other discussions maybe you can message me on discord about that first.
Reserved for updates if needed.
This version of Samurai Shodown, is not a port, but one of two of the Nettou Sam Spi games with specially made sprites, backgrounds and sounds. Realizing not only was this version harder to find, it should have its own board as it is a completely separate release. So I properly moved everything.
I also imported the rules over with a few minor changes.
-
Added the Easy, Normal, and Hard percent difficulty categories. Sam Sho is a game where the AI behavior changes drastically from difficulty to difficulty warranting this change.
-
Outside of the one Super Game Boy Player run on real hardware, the normal thing should be banning Super Game Boy Player 1 and only Allowing 2 (Which is the standard for Japan and record keeping anyway.) This is a direct change from the previous rule. "Any runs using the Super Game Boy 1 will have their times converted, since it runs at a different frame rate, compared to an actual Game Boy. The site http://nudua.com/convert can also be used for converting the time. " This can still be discussed, but in general I learned that SGBP 1 is just flat out banned in most events and cases.
-
Added correct Art and Covers.
-
All rules and times ported over.
-
Fixed the spelling of characters names.
-
Added Kuroko to the character roster since he was missing.
Message here if you have a question or comment in addition the discord is still available with lots of info about Samurai Shodown Speedruns and gaming in general.
Reserved for notes, etc.
Shinsetsu Samurai Spirits Bushidō Retsuden AKA that Samurai Shodown RPG. This is a very unique entry in the series, that offers a really deeper look into the Samurai Shodown Series Story, one could even say the most.
For those wondering this game also has had an English patch released, apparently a lot of work went into releasing that. This game was requested to be added, I'm hopeful we will see some runs, in what is considered a beautiful RPG by many fans.
Some things to note on the leaderboard.
- Split the NEO GEO CD and PS1 / Sega Saturn versions. This is due to animation differences.
- The bonus 3rd chapter exclusive for the Neo Geo version is not added since we dont have a run yet. I also have not seen this.
If you have something you want to add a question feel free to post here. The majority of the Sam Spi games are fighting so for now I have left the discord link off the page but feel free to reach out privately.
Thank you but the tournament category was added from the very beginning, over a month ago now.
As far as records go, that user is more than welcome to submit, though the web based browser emulation is typically banned and frowned upon. It would be cool if someone reached out to them and asked them to do some runs. The rule with SRC, is that in general, a user must submit there own run.
By the way, I'm not that great at Othello so I would more than welcome other runs, I was well aware my times are not the best.
Well you found something obscure on the speedrun.com website.
The power rangers SPD Plug and Play games. So this particular unit is actually a little easier to find in person since it actually had two versions, An arcade stick version and a controller version.
There's more info in the discord. This particular game actually has some cool tricks to find, sometimes when you play a game and start to see it function in funny ways you know there is more to be discovered in the way of skips and glitches.
Thanks @JakatoXtra I think you the start timing should be changed to the audio que on the final confirm of character select. There is an audio que, while there is none or the load on stages, also it much smoother to start on a button press with sound. This is typical for arcade beat em ups.
I think the Any% is not need for this game. New Game+ and New Game Campain should be put behind the Arcade in order (it looks like that was changed when submitting)
Looking forward to continuing to find tech, there are some bugs right now, so a notice might need to put it out for all parties to record their runs while doing speedrun attempts.
The Creator of ZSNES recently has even come out discussing that the Zsnes is highly inaccurate and a legacy program.
