1CC playthrough of Golden Axe - The Duel (JUETL 950117 V1.000) on MAME 0174b as Death Adder on the hardest difficulty (4).

[Golden Axe: The Duel (ゴールデンアックス・ザ・デュエル) is a fighting game first released as a coin-operated arcade (Sega ST-V) game in Japan in 1994. It was later ported to the Sega Saturn system, first to Japan in September 1995, then to North America in June 1996. It was the third arcade game in the Golden Axe series.]

Love this game; maybe not the best fighting game out there but it looks awesome and best of all you can play as Death Adder. The CPU is incredibly cheap in this game and will input read all your slow normals and interrupt them on startup if you use anything up close. CPU will make short work of Death Adder because of this (long range but slow normals) so it was an interesting challenge to work around this. Not to downplay Death Adder too much; he has some ridiculous range and a few normals he can abuse to get around the nonsense CPU can dish out. For the most part however you will want to play patiently and punish character specific CPU tendencies. Golden Axe (the last boss) is incredibly difficult while using Death Adder and winning involves praying he doesn't anti-air and spacing your jump HP just right so that you can lock him down or delaying it just enough that he attempts to anti air you but gets interrupted. Trying to play patiently versus Golden Axe results in getting chipped to death or eating command throws, especially since everything it does is safe on block.

I don't usually think of doing fighting game 1CCs but this game doesn't get enough love! Awesome game give it a shot (preferable against other people)!
