Incoherent video of me getting wrecked! On PS4!
 

 
I failed to grasp the controls or game logic of ACA NEOGEO 3 Count Bout! And hit a wall after winning a single grapple--each time--in match 3. Oof!
 
Watching @TheInnocentSinful's play-through of 3 Count Bout youtube.com/watch?v=(YouTube _YGGCF7lBaU , match 3 was his toughest fight--his health was whittled right down too, but he managed not to get pinned, and eventually got the opponent's health down by spamming jabs and getting in some rather amazing flying hits. He had two or three later bouts where he couldn't win most of the grapples, either, but was able to mash jabs to get their health down.
 
Did I say in here that Technos Japan had done Aggressors of Dark Kombat on NEOGEO? If I did, that's incorrect--meant to say Voltage Fighter Gowcaizer. And I guess I can't say I know if it's bad or not, I think I only played it on emulator in the early 2000s. : P It's got red flashes and stuff though so I'll have to stay away.
 
Looks like I'd better stick to regular fighting games! = o ; ) 'p'

Capcom's Saturday Night Slam Masters CPS1 wrestling game came out just 3.5 months after SNK's 3 Count Bout MVS wrestling game in 1993; 3CB is a lot flashier, and hard to follow; SatNiteSlam is more of a traditional bash-the-buttons wrestler.

Trying some ACA NEOGEO 3 Count Bout, and playing through Saturday Night Slam Masters from Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium as Mike "Macho" Haggar, on PS4! (And a couple other CA2S games.)
 
A video of the Saturn game Fire Pro Gaiden: Blazing Tornado
 

 
revived my hunger for big wrestling sprites; that game plays like a simplified Fire Pro which is not what I'm after but it occurred to me that NEOGEO 3 Count Bout and Capcom's arcade Saturday Night Slam Masters have pretty big sprites so I downloaded those and game 'em another whirl on the ol' PS4!
 
Forgot how much I can't handle the control in 3 Count Bout. : PP And dang the CPU is annoying with its special ranged attacks--fire, chain whip. Blaghrhgh
 
But it occurred to me that maybe Slam Masters would be a better fighting experience than I'd given it credit for if I played it 1-on-1 instead of 2-on-2 like I had been doing. Oh and if I set it to EASY. ^ D^ Some of the end foes are kind of pains but yep, definitely got more out of it this way. : D Cleared EASY w/ Haggar, wooo.
 
Also a little SonSon and Don't Pull (Three Wonders) in CA2S.
 
(The Mega Man "Power" arcade games in CA2S are a bit too on the flashy side; also, I don't really like their art style--I'll stick with the lovely NGPC combo version. : D)
 
This was an unplanned session which is my excuse for possibly having the recording in the wrong color scheme (slightly blown-out color).
