20 of 20 · most liked firstThe Last Blade 2 Neo Geo MVS, 1998 SNK Happy Fighting Game Friday. Possibly my favorite fighting game. Achieves an aesthetic cohesion like no other. Has a dedicated parry button, so you know it means business. #crt #retrogaming #fgc

Spent all my quarters playing Super Sidekicks, The Last Blade 2, Samurai Showdown II, & Metal Slug. @3mill.bsky.social helped me customize a broken one when he was younger.

unlabelledView post →76. The Last Blade 2 Currently my favorite SNK fighting game, this one did extremely well with my friend group, second only to 3rd Strike! Stunningly gorgeous and mechanically deep, yet also easy to grasp even if you're new. The high damage, parry option, and large hitboxes make every match tense!
unlabelledView post →For like five years I thought Daisuke Ishiwatari had to have something to do with The Last Blade 2 (no connection AFAICT) just because The Last Blade 2 feels to me just like what an Arc System Works game would if it was made by SNK. I am too casual to tell you why that is, but it does.

unlabelledView post →THE LAST BLADE 2 is on sale on Steam, and I bought it! It’s gotta be one of the all-time peaks of retro fighting game pixel art, right🥰
unlabelledView post →I'll gladly define the slow frame rate of the first Metal Slug as "cinematic", but Metal Slug 2 might be in "feels busted" territory. Hey, at least The Last Blade 2 still feels like one of the best weapon fighters of all time. LET'S RANK (almost) EVERY NEO GEO GAME (Part 4) youtu.be/hCYtpVcWmzc

unlabelledView post →The Last Blade 2 another fighting game I forgot to put here while I was actually playing it, and it's not bad I guess, the mechanics are neat but I just wasn't really taken by the roster and was under the weather when I was giving it a try so maybe I'll give it another go in the future
unlabelledView post →The Last Blade 2 Maybe the most underrated fighting game in my opinion. Would love to spend more time on it. Genuinely feels fantastic to play (and again the presentation is amazing cannot understate that). Please play this game it's so fucking good.
unlabelledView post →37. The Last Blade 2. After playing CVS2 and falling in love with Hibiki, I decided to try the series she came from. Specifically, I played the Dreamcast port of Last Blade 2, and I have to say this game rules. Great sprite art, interesting mechanics, and Hibiki is once again super cool to play as.
unlabelledView post →Today is the 27 year anniversary of The Last Blade 2 Released November 25, 1998 on arcades in Japan! Not a well known game but in my opinion a very solid fighting game. My first time playing it was on the Vita, I wish for a newer LB game.
unlabelledView post →Game #27: The Last Blade 2 (Neo Geo) (Played on Switch) I beat this right at the end of May. That's how far behind I am here. Cool game and better than the original.
unlabelledView post →The few game genres where BGM is absolutely essential are Shmups, JRPGs, and arcade racers. I would have said fighting games too, but The Last Blade 2 is making me hold their beer.
