Sonic: Freedom fighters 2 - Plus by MUGENHunter

[DizzyTheConquer]

MUGENhunter returns with an updated version of his full game "Sonic: Freedom Fighters 2".
This version is of course the same game, but it has more characters, re-balanced gameplay, updated sprites, new stages & more.

Positives
1) Even thought the characters don't really have AI, they still put up a defensive game.
2) More characters (including hidden ones not shown in the pictures).
3) Gameplay is more balanced. Somewhat feels like an KOF game due to simple commands like rolling & hard normal (I can't remember what they call it but its the command when you press both H.Punch & H.Kick).

Negative
1) Some characters can get too defensive or the damage output isn't all that. When you play Arcade Mode (Story mode in game), the characters block a lot & not much chip damage is dealt. This can be a problem leading with too many timeouts.

Nitpicks
1) The use of WinMugen. Mugen 1.0 is more stable
2) Use of MIDI for music. MP3 can work, he even has the dll files needed to work.


One of the best rivalries. You win a cookie if you get the reference.


Shadow & Rouge returns with updated sprites & new moves.


Sally, Rotor & Bunnie join in the fight!

Is that Ren and Stimpy in the trailer? 

Yep!

[HyperVoiceActing]

Um ... why are they in the trailer? Are they unlockable chars in the game?

They're hidden in the game, along with some other characters.

[HyperVoiceActing]

Okay

... why? 

[SanjiSasuke]

Sonic/Solid Snake are in SSB, Ezio is in Soul Caliber, and Cole is in SFxT. So Ren and Stimpy are in this, I guess.

[O Ilusionista]

I like the idea.

Another cool idea would be Taz.

But those aren't as bizzare as Ren and Stimpy in a Sonic game.

Makes about as much sense as Danica Patrick in a Sega crossover ... oh wait. Nevermind

So, I've been trying this game out for a bit, and I've noticed a bug. On the third hit of Knuckle's 'QFC+Px3' rekka, (the shoryuken,) the attack doesn't connect with the enemy at all. I'm sorry, but I'm pretty sure this needs to be fixed.

...Other then that though, it's a pretty good so far. I'll let you know more of what I think of it after I'd had time to test it out more.

I liked the game(though not a Sonic fan and actually Sonic himself is the one I like less of all gang), pretty nice, with all custom characters(which is very respected). I wonder why it isn't on mugen 1.0, it works fine on it and it's more stable, bugless
There was one character I've been disappointed in - Tails, I've expected some mines and air shooting stuff, which weren't there, totally didn't expected him dragonpunching, rather relaying on his devices. And I expected spinning dart kick from Rouge, sadly it wasn't there(could be hold then + ), other stuf on her is cool(even though she's Morrigan ). One character I wish was there - E-102 Gamma, because it's sonic's Iron man bombing, shocking, missiles... Would be nice to see Cream with chao... well, maybe next time.
Characters I liked most - Knuckles, Mighty, secret blue character, secret pinkish-purplish character, Amy, secret purple character more than non secret one, Manic, Sally and Fang.
Also wish secret green character would be more unique, rather then practically same as Sonic, he's evil should be more mean somehow %)
Most of secret characters could be put in main roster without doubt except for real secret ones - Ren and Stimpy, because they are guest characters.

Sorry for being cryptic on secret chars, didn't want to spoil 'em.

Actually, Bean isn't from Dynamite Dux. He's very much based off that game, yes, but he's actually from Sonic the Fighters. Just telling you in case you didn't know.

Not much information has been released about Bean, since he only appeared in a spin-off title and then another game which wasn't even Sonic related. It's possible that Bean has some relation to Bin and Pin (especially considering the similarities between the names "Bean" and "Bin"), but this has never been confirmed. However, the Sonic Universe does have connections with another old Sega arcade game--Flicky. Flicky was released four years before Dynamite Dux, but it's possible for them to coexist in the same continuity.

Editing to Add: Ren & Stimpy actually make a lot of sense here, as far as crossovers go. They, like the Sonic cast, are anthropomorphic animals and would probably feel right at home alongside characters from The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog. I'll have to play the game myself to see how they were implemented, but it isn't a far stretch at all for Sonic-styled Ren and Stimpy to appear.
