The Xbox Series X offers 4K video quality, so all of these playthroughs listed below have 4K available on Youtube.

Fatal Fury 3
Video length: 29:29
Game region:
Difficulty level: 5 out of 5

Playthrough with Geese Howard. You can't beat this game normally due to how much cheating the CPU does, so most of this game is spent spamming Geese's double reppu ken move, or using one of his throws. I fought all the extra bosses and got the best ending in this playthrough.





Mortal Kombat 1
Video length: 29:29
Game region:
Difficulty level: 3 out of 5

Playthrough of the klassic champion tower with Sub-Zero, using Scorpion as the kameo character. This reboot introduces kameo characters, who can be called on to perform a move during battle. This is the easiest of the modern Mortal Kombat games, as the final boss is just Shang Tsung -compared to previous bosses like Kronica and Corrupted Shinnok, he's much easier.





Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate
Video length: 39:03
Game region:
Difficulty level: 3 out of 5

Playthrough of the champion klassic tower with Robocop. Compared to the old Mortal Kombat games this one is fairly easy to get through, the only really difficult opponent is Kronica. Most combos don't work on her, but if you spam Robocop's cannon move you should be able to win without too much trouble.



Samurai Shodown IV: Amakusa's Revenge
Video length: 22:35
Game region:
Difficulty level: 5 out of 5

Playthrough with Basara. This game is too difficult. The first two opponents usually aren't that bad, but everything after that is horrible, especially the bosses. And to get the good ending you have to make it to Amakusa's castle within a time limit. For the first few opponents it's best to do an honorable death at the start of the round, this causes you to instantly lose the round, but you'll start the next one with a full POW gauge, meaning you'll do more damage. Basara has a command grab strat which is basically identical to the one you can use in Samurai Shodown III. He's one of the easier characters to use to beat the game with, but it's still really hard.



Sonic the Hedgehog CD
Video length: 51:18
Game region:
Difficulty level: 3 out of 5

Playthrough with Sonic, using the version of the game included on Sonic Origins Plus. This version is a re-use of the 2011 version, although it does have some changes. Probably the most notable are the inclusion of the lyrics for the opening and ending songs, which were missing in the 2011 version.



Sonic the Hedgehog
Video length: 42:09
Game region:
Difficulty level: 1 out of 5

Playthrough with Tails, using the version of the game included on Sonic Origins Plus. The special stages in this version are really bad, your character is far too hard to control. Other than that, using Tails is super easy mode -he can fly and skip large amounts of an act, certain bosses are easier etc.





Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Video length: 1:12:52
Game region:
Difficulty level: 3 out of 5

Playthrough with Amy and Tails, using the version of the game included on Sonic Origins Plus. The special stages in this version seem to be easier than I remember them, I got all the emeralds without much trouble. They made Tails a lot more useful in this version since you can get him to fly and pick up your character, something he couldn't do in the original. This version also adds a new level, the Hidden Palace Zone, which has a not very good boss.





Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles
Video length: 1:48:44
Game region:
Difficulty level: 3 out of 5

Playthrough with Knuckles, using the version of the game included on Sonic Origins Plus. This was meant to be the highlight of the collection but ended up being the most disappointing part of it, read the Youtube description for more details. Knuckles has a shorter game than the other characters, but some of the bosses were made a bit more difficult.





Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles:
Tournament Fighters
Video length: 21:23
Game region:
Difficulty level:

Playthrough with Casey Jones. This is the SEGA Genesis version of Tournament Fighters, which is included on the TMNT Cowabunga Collection. It's also one of the worst games I have ever played, there's so much wrong with it! To get the best ending you have to play on the highest difficulty level, where your opponents can take you out in as little as three or so hits.

Casey is the best character because he has a spinning move where he's almost completely invincible. His bomb move is his other main asset, but you have to be careful in using it since it can damage him too.





Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles:
Tournament Fighters
Video length: 28:40
Game region:
Difficulty level: 4 out of 5

Playthrough with Cyber Shredder. This is the SNES version of Tournament Fighters, which is included on the TMNT Cowabunga Collection. Unlike the Genesis version, this game is actually fun to play. The CPU is kind of boring to fight though, it blocks way too much and does a lot of countering.

To fight Karai, you need to be playing on the default difficulty settings or higher.





Virtua Fighter 5 Final Shodown
Video length: 12:47
Game region:
Difficulty level: 3 out of 5

Playthrough with Jacky Bryant. This version of the game can be played in Yakuza 6, you can find it in one of the arcades. By Virtua Fighter standards this game isn't too difficult, the only super difficult opponent is Dural. But beating Dural is optional, you still get the credits regardless if you win or lose.
