1876: Fighting Vipers PS3 \\ Bahn playthrough! Oh, S.jabs! Fps paranoia! Cheats? Kid mode? Mahler?
2Playing through Fighting Vipers for PS3 as Bahn (aka "Gengis Bahn III") on Easy, using RPCS3 in Windows!
FV just runs at the arcade square-pixels aspect ratio of 1.29 in the PS3 version--well, you can also stretch it to 16:9, but I didn't do that. : P And there's no 57.5/60fps toggle like in the PS2 version.

Man, unrelenting beatdowns from Raxel and B.M. had me going kinda nuts, imagining the framerate was going to heck, whatever excuses I could find... Played a "bad" framerate bit back frame-by-frame after recording and didn't encounter a single dropped frame, so...yeah my brain just got broken, apparently. = Pp
Finding how effective Bahn's standing jab--jabs move you FORWARD in this game, unlike in VF--was against the longer-ranged Raxel seemed like a breakthrough...but then boss B.M. would just throw me right out of them. NANalhGHAhaghgak
ALSO, jeez, the stuff you find when you have a version with a move list and actually take a peek at it. A running throw? HOW many downed attacks?? What is all this stuff??? This game is way more nuts than I'd imagined.
And extra cheats! Way more cheats than VF2... The presentation of them on GameFAQs is a bit confusing--they're all listed as Trophies, for one. Like, Kids Mode is hold L1 and R1 when you press X to start Arcade mode, from the screen where you select the difficulty--and the characters get giant super-deformed! Man I'm gonna have to give that a play. ^ _^ Probably not going to bother with Random mode (Hold Up and press Start during Arcade mode's Attract mode), which seems to randomize opponents and stage after the first stage--but I WILL try playing as Mahler--the mini, supposedly balanced version of the boss--who is always available just lurking off to the sides of the character select list.
Jeepers! Vipers everywhere! = D
Oh and yes the truck stop cafe does have a "Merry Xmas" sign on one side of the rotating UFO on its roof in the PS2 version, also (the other side has a sign saying "UFO Diner").
Unlike the PS2 version, the attract mode character intro here ISN'T video copyright claimed by Sega! ; D
