Where does adaki find these obscure fighting games? Apparently this video was completed five years ago, but he’s just now made it available on his u2b channel. I can’t even tell what these ridiculous characters are doing most of the time, but i’m pretty sure i’m offended by it.
highlights:
SGIBK Chinnen air kung fu at 0:05, Kintaro double bear juggle at 0:18, and Angela random fireball setup at 0:26

Hey common Maj, the Power Instinct franchise was quite popular back in the day, it’s not thaaaat obscure.
The only reason i knew this was a Power Instinct game is because wikipedia told me when i looked up the title. If adaki hadn’t bothered writing the title, i couldn’t have posted the video because i wouldn’t know what to call it!
I bet the biggest tournament ever held for this game had single-digit entrants. The whole thing probably fit on an 8-man bracket. That’s obscure.
Now I wanna PM adakino and tell him to do combos for “Dangerous Streets”
0:50…
Yeah, I didn’t know whether to laugh or be shocked at that, lol.
Umm, what did I just watch?
I’m a self-professed fan of Power Instinct, but even I hardly know what’s going on here. Here’s what I do know/have pulled from Wikia about the game:
*The game is an enhanced port of Power Instinct Matrimelee for the Neo-Geo. (If anyone’s interested, Matrimelee is playable on Supercade under it’s Japanese title: “Shin gouketsuzi ichizoku – Toukon”)
*The clip in the very beginning is from one of several music videos included in the game, specifically the video for the BGM in this vid (titled “Let’s Go! Onmyoji”).
*As for the random fireball: Bonnou Kaihou has a “card” system that lets you assign extra moves/buffs to a character, sort of like a really primitive version of the capsules in the DBZ Budokai games.
*The moves with purple shadow trails are basically EX moves, performed by doing certain moves while running/canceling from a running normal. Every PI game since Power Instinct Legends has had this feature.
*”Bobby” is a character created specifically for this game, based on K-1 fighter Bobby Ologun. I have no explanation for that super, however.
Hope someone here finds all that useful…
