Ranma 1/2 Hard Battle [SNES] - play as Happosai
26This is a demonstration of Happosai in the SNES game Ranma 1/2 Hard Battle. Read on below for more information...
Happosai is playable hidden character, but he can only be selected through a hidden options screen in the game.
===== Happosai exclusivity =====
In this game, there are 3 boss characters in total. The 1st is Pantyhose Taro, the 2nd is his minotaur form, and the 3rd is Happosai.
Both versions of Pantyhose Taro are immediately available in versus mode, and both can also be unlocked for use in 1P mode. Once unlocked in 1P mode and played through, Pantyhose's final opponent is Happosai. Happosai cannot be unlocked, and can only be selected through the secret options screen you can see in the video.
The funny thing is, the secret options screen can even be used in 1P mode, and when you select Happosai in 1P mode and lose a match, the game freezes. It seems that programmers may have missed this event.
===== About Ranma 1/2 =====
This franchise has been around for a long time so I'm sure that a lot of people will have an idea what this series is about. If you don't know, then it's basically a manga/anime about a boy named Ranma Saotome who practices martial art in Japan. Sounds normal enough doesn't it? Well think again, because Ranma has a curse inflicted on him that if he is to come in contact with cold water, he has the misfortune (or should that be pleasure) of turning into a female. Hot water will turn her back into a male. These curses seem to be the staple element for the series and is the stand-out point, as it applies to some of the other characters too, except that they turn into different animals and things.
