Cheapest video game moves.

[PitViper]

From Atari to PS3 and every Coin-Op ever...what were the CHEAPEST moves, cheats, glitches and everything else that had you pulling out your hair...and wanting to strangle the guy you were playing?

Here are a few of mine:

Madden: Tight game, down to the wire and out of nowhere my RB fumbles and its recovered by the cpu.

Marvel Vs. Capcom 2: Using "Jill" as an assist and getting "Life" everytime I'm about to K.O. you.

Capcom: Tech Hit...F**K YOU!!!

COD MW2: Guys that run through a virtual stream of SCAR fire, only to kill me with Akimbo Rangers point blank.

Mortal Kombat: Being a noob and facing that kid who froze and uppercutted you CONSTANTLY

Madden: 3rd and long--CPU uses a run play and sheds 3 tacklers to convert. On the ground?! SUCK MY D!!!!!!!

[rascal!]

Ghandi jumping in Halo 3!

[copperhead33]

Stanley Cup on Super Nes!

if you dumped it in at right at center ice it'd fly right past the goalie and into the net.
Me and my best friend would call "no dumps" before we'd start a game, and whoever was losing in the third would eventually pull one.
we were dicks.

[MAJOR BLOOD]

M Bison. 'Nuff said.

[PitViper]

M Bison. 'Nuff said.

You played that kid who went side to side all day long then stepped on your head and threw you too?

Cheap little b*tch!!

[the odinson]

qb eagles from tecmo super bowl on the nes. rush him, give up the long ball. drop into coverage, he takes off like a damn running back. with the right pass plays selected before the game they were just about unstoppable.

That was based on Randall Cunningham who was the original "scrambler".

Try beating the Bears on the original Tecmo...every guy on defense was almost as fast as the "fastest guy".

I remember that little F*%ker! AARgh. Makes me mad just thinking about it.

What about the NES ninja gaiden's stage 6-2 and 6-3. God i cursed those jumps and those damn flying ninjas.

Then there was Mike Tyson in MikeTyson's punchout. Im not even going to get into that. I get ulcers just remembering the pain i had trying to kick his butt.

yeah, certain guys wouldn't give tecmo the rights to use their names. god, the hours i spent in front of that game. we would play 'shit bowls', the colts v. the patriots, or run bo jackson for 800 yards a game. ahh, memories.

[arthurdent]

legend of zelda- enter "zelda" as character name to get into second zelda game.

Dude, Mike Tyson's Punch Out earned me a workboot in the ass from my dad due to ...."language".

Nothing was worst than Spy Hunter on NES....just when I was about to pull into the dock and get to be the boat for the 1st time I consistantly got run off the road and died....on my last guy.

OR

Trying to land on Top Gun for NES and crashing on my last guy..I can CLEARLY remember being on my knees in front of my tv, seeing that jet head directly into the side of that aircraft carrier and yelling out..."NO, PLEASE!!!"

[Kalibus]

Yeah i hated spy hunter. Good call on Top gun. I dreaded finishing the stage cuse i knew i was going to biff in on the deck. lol

Teenage mutan ninja turtles for the NES. This little jump in the sewers or some wharehouse that was freaking impossible. You spend hours trying to make this bastard of a jump only to find out by mistake that you can just walk over the gap. I think i cried when i finaly got over the gap.

This game did not survive. I think i smashed it into tiny bits. The whole game was torture

TMNT is up there with X-men on Nes.
Now you younger pups might not believe this, but at one time the X-men weren't the powerhouse franchise that they are now.
So when i heard they had a game i was super excited.
until i played it and it was terrible.

speaking of which...Jaws Revenge and Friday the 13th for nes.
both cost me an entire months paper route salary and i picked them up,then had to go away for the weekend...and it'd be a three hour drive until i could play them.
worst tortuous drive ever.

[M_renegade]

Mortal Kombat: Being a noob and facing that kid who froze and uppercutted you CONSTANTLY

LoL
That would be me...i used to play with my friends, appliying the 45% damage combo...then it was worse with 75% damge combo of Noob Saibot :P

I WAS that little F*%ker!
Well, I was the day the Champion Ed. came out, and only because every game in the area was full of A-holes who wandered around the arcade waiting for kids to play, then they'd casually slip their change in, immediately interrupting my game, as if they hadn't been hoping to make a child feel like ass.

So, it was crummy as hell of me and not fun, but robbing their quarters and pissing them off was nice. Vega worked well too for revenge.

Something about the 1P mode that was cheap? You've got to charge moves, the computer doesn't.

The original MK cheap move was infinite leg sweeps.

[M_renegade]

Man, i had that too.
I remember i rented that, and half an hour later i changed.

Ti'll today, i don't understand what's supposed to do. Last night i spend 2 hours, and i couldn't figure wtf was happening

[PitViper]

Surfing on T&C Surf....I was either spastic or that was ridiculously hard.

[M_renegade]

X-Men: children of atom.

The giant iceball from Iceman.
You could finish the game only using that...or get busted by the most rookie player...

[Kalibus]

Well once i learned the dragon punch with ken the cheap move didnt work anymore.

Did you all play Battletoads for the NES? The whole game was hard. The part where you are rappelling down some hole and the racing parts were insane.

Or the 49ers stupid pass play you couldn't stop, even if you chose the play!

[zuludelta]

I hated it when people would keep using Devil Jin in Tekken Tag Tournament. Those optic blasts were just way too cheap.

Same here, Dragon Punch beat all cheap tactics once we all learned it. It seemed so hard to do back then!

BattleToads jetski level in probably the most notoriously difficult thing in gaming! Decent NES brawler...then the most frustrating, impossible level that goes on forever.

You know what wad crap? The original NES TMNT game. I think I spent half my life watching friends trying to diffuse bombs underwater and dying by electrocution.

That X-Men gane was made worse by the fact that I called Toys R Us like twice a week for months on end waiting for its release. Worst game ever.

[TK1945]

Anyone remember Bushido Blade for Playstation? My little 9 year old niece would play the same girl character and kill me every time with one single move. It was the only move she would do and she would time it just right every single time!

Other than getting my ass handed to me by a little girl, I still think it was one of the best fighting games as far as realism is concerned.

[Shogi]

The original MK cheap move was infinite leg sweeps.

That was the one that pissed me off! Especially since I was the kid that never learned any moves....I am a button masher (apparently that's a bad thing?)

[zuludelta]

That X-Men gane was made worse by the fact that I called Toys R Us like twice a week for months on end waiting for its release. Worst game ever.

Man, that game broke my heart. I remember my brother and I saving our allowance money for that game and desperately wanting to like it because of how much it cost. Damn, you LJN, damn you to hell!

[cab00se]

throwing... in any fighting game, especialy MKII!! cheap bastards

[Kalibus]

Yes that move was like a myth at first. You first learned the fireball then you got the dragonpunch down. My favorite fighting game move of all time. I used to walk home after spending my last quarter at the arcades yelling "shoryuken!!" and jumping like dumbass pretending i was doing a dragon puch. I'd sneak in a "hadoken" once in a while

I actually was able to beat that underwater bomb stage on TMNT.

I totally missed X-men for the nes, i guess i was lucky. My first xmen game was for the genesis and it was alright.

[CrimsonGuard101]

Hitting the reset button/power button when your kicking thier ass, that has to be the cheapest move of all time...my friend ALWAYS does that when I kill him with Scorpion in Mortal Kombat...right before I can do the fninishing move he jumps up and hits the reset button..he has unresovled anger after all these years of me kicking his ass with the "GET OVER HERE" spear.

ufc09 online. I would slap on a sub, they would be in the middle of tapping out and they log off!!! MFers!!! I would not only not get my win and xp, but I would get a Fing loss! It took thq like 6 months to get a fricking patch. Man that shit pissed me off

[Fast_Draw]

People that run around shooting the grenade launcher everywhere nonstop in Golden Eye for N64 snuffing other players out with the smoke clouds and shit.

"Hadouken!"

[laurenluna1977]

Back in the day, my bro and I would play the orig. Super Mario Bros. for the NES. I would convince him to be the 2nd player since his name was Luigi as well. If you guys remember, for player 2 to get a turn, it meant that player 1 had to have lost a life. Well, being a jerk and wanting to play again as soon as possible, I would hit start on my controller and pause the game while my bro was in the middle of jumping a gap. Then, when I hit start again to unpause, Luigi would always fall straight down the hole. He would cry, and I would laugh. To this day, he doesn't trust me to play co-op with him.

[07GT500 COBRA]

My brother and I were playing Age of Empires II years ago and we were allied against the CPU's 6 civilizations. During the game I was building cannon towers all around our two civilizations. Once the game was pretty much in hand against the CPU, I switched my allegiance to "enemy" and my cannon towers blew my brother's ass clean off the map! :D

My friend and I would do the same thing with Gyromite. His ROB was busted or something and we had to rely on each other to make the pistons work. Little bastard would wait until I was almost done with the level and trap or smash me.

Did anyone play the atrocity that was Raiders of the Lost Ark on the Atari 2600? What was the point of it? I had seen the movie as a kid and knew what the story was, but when did he wind up in a marsh evading tsetse flies, or going to the black market (I know there's a market scene in the film, but the manual included with the game specifically mentioned the Black Market). How about when you're supposed to leave a grenade near the edge of the screen to open a secret room? WTF?

[monkeywrench1988]

cheapest move I know? making you fight your amped up sidekick in Tekken 6, oh the hours of frustration

[Python_Puckman]

Attacking when your opponent is "starred" or dizzied. Was an unwritten rule when playing Street Fighter II in the arcade. I took it as a personal insult when someone challenged and hit my guy when starred. You just don't do that sh!t

Jaws on the NES is the reason I'm scared of Sharks and the Ocean. I can't play that game it gives me panic attacks.

I hated it when people would keep using Devil Jin in Tekken Tag Tournament. Those optic blasts were just way too cheap.

Well if you screwed up with him in Tekken 3 then you were pretty dead... with the arial optic blast they'd get behind you and smash your for devastating damage.


I actually was able to beat that underwater bomb stage on TMNT.




I totally missed X-men for the nes, i guess i was lucky. My first xmen game was for the genesis and it was alright.

First X-men game I played was the X-men/Spider-man one Arcade's Revenge...

And the underwater level is easy if you purposely sacrifice one turtle and leave one of the early bombs alone, until your second life.

[Mech-Viper]

all semi auto action weapon in red dead redemption with causal aim assist

[Shin-Gouki]

Street Fighter II: Crouching Footsweep (LK) to throw, repeat. Back in the day in LA Arcades that would get you shown the back door and a Boot Party would be thrown in your honor.

SF III: Gill's Resurrection Super

[villainsrule]

Virtually every Final Fantasy game had some beetch in the game somewhere who could always wipe out your entire party with a single hit. You could invest hours, even days maxing out every single stat and unlocking all the strongest weapons only to be taken out in one attack...now that is cheap. I've still never killed Ultimate Weapon in FF8.

[riot_control]

Castlevania's Medusa Heads. Cheap-sauce!!!

Eddie Gordo in Tekken with his leg-sweeping-dance-a-thon-arobic-kicking-your-ass combo.

Spawn killing

[MAJOR BLOOD]

You played that kid who went side to side all day long then stepped on your head and threw you too?

Cheap little b*tch!!

I always hated that pr!ck. That and the constant Blanka roll. I would just counter with a barrage of fire balls from Ken. I loved to vary the speed this way if they thought they had the timing down they went face first into it.

E honda's jump and hundred hand slap was a bitch too. Once you got cornered there were only two ways out. A high kick or uppercut but that was if you weren't stunned.

[Brcall]

Lol.

The shared lives in Battletoads on the NES. I mean wtf is that all about. Isn't co-op play supposed to make the game easier?!

[PitViper]

I always hated that pr!ck. That and the constant Blanka roll.

Your way is pretty good at beating that, but I prefered winding up the Haymaker with Balrog.

3 Buttons at once timed just right did an incredible ammount of damage to that Blanka BS!

Plus..he was the 1st person I beat the game with, so I always had thing for Balrog.

[Brcall]

Old PC game called Conquest of Camelot. They made you match the Greek symbol to the name of the Greek god/goddess. Pre-internet that crap was impossible.

Not the second game, the "Master Quest." It's also unlocked when you beat the game. It's the same game, but dungeons are tougher & have different layouts and everything in the overworld is in a different place.

[dukeinator]

goldeneye n64 my friends love to pick that god damn midget and it was so hard to aim down

[the odinson]

the entire game of ghosts and goblins on the nes. sooooo many cheap hits.
also, i seem to remember ikari warriors 1 and/or 2 being a bitch. you use a-b-b-a all game to continue and then when you get to the end boss it stops working.

[Darth Zerbert]

You had to use two controllers to play the stupid thing. I think i only cleared like two screens. Never figured out ET for the 2600 either.

I'm playin the Jets--heavy snow, as the Titans (but in Oilers threads, cuz I'm old school)--1:24 left on the clock and I pretty much have em pinned at their own 30.

Doin my best Al Michaels-John Madden impression I'm pretty confident I have this one...it's 27-21.

They convert on 3rd & 18--burn out the clock then score a touchdown with 10 sec left.

When I tell you I had double coverage on that mother f'er..I did..

The original multiplayer game, and the start of spawn killing, especially in the restroom when they put the mines and you spawn and boooooooom!

Man, that game broke my heart. I remember my brother and I saving our allowance money for that game and desperately wanting to like it because of how much it cost. Damn, you LJN, damn you to hell!

That was the worst thing about NES X-Men!

Any crap game that was a non-holiday gift or was a self purchase meant there was no other joy to fall back on besides the painful garbage you'd be determined to enjoy...which never worked.

[PitViper]

Seriously, all of those LJN games sucked donkey balls.

Friday The 13th? What an epic waste of time and money--I mean on the marketing side, Jason was a big name then, we all wanted a shot at kicking his ass..but good LORD did that game suck.

Nightmare On Elm St!? See above!

Jaws..slightly better but still super suckey.

Remeber X-Men/Spider Man on SNES? You're health went down when you used ANY of your mutant powers--even using Wolverines claws to get through Arcade's crap--costed health? F.U.!!

LJN made Thundercat toys right?--Stick to what you do best guys.

The Karate Kid one is up there man--when he spit on the cartridge I almost pissed myself.

He reminds me of my friend's little brother who had MAJOR anger/spaz issues and would freak out and actually spit on the tv screen while playing Ghosts N Goblins.

That was golden.

[Brcall]

...actually spit on the tv screen while playing Ghosts N Goblins.

That was golden.

Woah, that's pretty crazy.

[PitViper]

In retrospect he probably had/has some issues...I mean he was that kid that would be like "dare me to jump off the roof?"

Just not...100%

His older brother would invite us over and then it was "Hey Bri, why don't you show everyone how far you can get in G&G"--knowing damn well he was gonna get spastic.

By high school they were having full brown brawls over Mario Kart. I'm not making this up!

The yellow car in rc pro am

For myself I studied every single King chain throw in tekken. I used to love dropping a quarter, hitting a sequence and watching the guy next to me cry as the loose 99% of their health with one chain. :D

did anyone mention battletoads for snes (or was it sega)? that damn stage where you are on the jet ski? I still havnt beaten that level. I dont even know whats past it :(

[zuludelta]

One of the reasons I rarely play Fight Night Round 4 online these days is because of the ridiculous number of "right body hook" spammers. I'm good enough at FNR4 that I can beat most any novice player that relies exclusively on the move, but it's damn near impossible for me to beat a skilled player who resorts to spamming it when they feel like they're in for a fight unless I spam the move myself. And that really, really drains the fun out of the multiplayer online. I don't want to waste 20 minutes counter-spamming. I actually have more fun these days designing CABs (Create-a-Boxers) and then watching simulated fights with the computer AI controlling both fighters.

[Brcall]

did anyone mention battletoads for snes (or was it sega)? that damn stage where you are on the jet ski? I still havnt beaten that level. I dont even know whats past it :(

I mentioned the NES version. I never played the SNES one. You're right though, the original was hard as hell.

Anyone remember the old Sierra RPG adventure games for the PC in the mid to late '80s when you had to type all the action commands. If you didn't get the right word in there they wouldn't do anything. I was so excited to see the click feature in Quest For Glory IV.

[MeLikeJinx]

I remember trying to beat the final and best guy in the World Tour for Virtua Tennis for The Dreamcast. He wore like english clothing and we played on grass (the fake Wimbledon tournament) and I freaking just could not beat him... I swear to god he knew where I was going to hit the tennis balls before it got there. I spent hours just trying to beat him... the cheater. LOL.

[MeLikeJinx]

Right now... after like a hundred bazillion tries... I am still trying to complete Desperate Escape on RE5 on Veteran. It is freaking impossible. LOL. How the heck am I going to beat it on Professional so I can get my trophy when I can't even get to the fourth part on Veteran. *screams in rage* LOL.

Surfing on T&C Surf....I was either spastic or that was ridiculously hard.
I remember that. LOL.

Street Fighter II: Crouching Footsweep (LK) to throw, repeat. Back in the day in LA Arcades that would get you shown the back door and a Boot Party would be thrown in your honor.
I remember people used to get mad at you when you used to throw them while they were blocking... and if you did it by accident you were expected to let them throw you back to even things out. LOL.

Old PC game called Conquest of Camelot. They made you match the Greek symbol to the name of the Greek god/goddess. Pre-internet that crap was impossible.
HOLY CRAP! I REMEMBER THIS! Ahahahaha. I got it by accident by trial and error and trying to do every combination possible. LOL. And yah pre-internet, I had to resort to nearby encyclopedias and dictionaries for any help of any kind. LOL. I actually got it though... don't even remember how many tries it took... but it took A LOT! LOL.

the entire game of ghosts and goblins on the nes. sooooo many cheap hits.
OMG. That games was brutal... what was worse is I liked that game, so I kept playing it. LOL.

In Goldeneye I used to put proximity mines at all of the spawn points(until it happens to you), ammo boxes, armor, and on the top of door frames. We played 1 hit kill mode. Also in the Facility you could do a spin and go back up the AC vent and camp there.

Sniping with the Red Riot on Shogo multiplayer for Pc. Just one of many cheap ass tactics I use on that games multiplayer. Used to host games for it a little while back with other forum members from Pcefx, always came in first. Def a fun game.

I don't consider that cheating... without that Contra would have been utterly unplayable from the start; those extra lives just made the game 5% less impossible. LOL.
