This is a rad game, TONS of moves, challenging (although not quite as much as the original, but still tough) and well, I wouldn't even call it a DD1 remake. This is pretty much an entirely new game with elements of all of the old DD games. There's a hot, remixed soundtrack that I'm going to do a little sampling & posting of shortly.

Also Abobo appears with an afro on occasion.

BAM! An mp3 with samples of most of the songs in the game

i finished this game already and when u finish the game u get a secret option; go to option, hold down select n press L R L R
this game is missing the save option; 2save ur score, survival, etc  

[S-U-P-E-R]

Boy am I sucking at this game... I couldn't even beat easy mode. I keep falling off the ledges by accident. No big deal though since you can kick a boss off the ledge too scoring an instant kill.

Yeah, I got OWNED until I got the movelist and figured out how do headbutt air juggle:

Quote
OLD MOVES:
KICK (when close) - Grab head. Then press Kick to knee them, or Punch to throw.
JUMP+PUNCH - Elbow.
JUMP+KICK - Reverse jump kick.
JUMP, KICK - Normal jumping kick.
FORWARD+PUNCH+KICK - Headbutt. (Used to be just Forward,Forward in DD1).
JUMP (when caught in a full nelson) - Break hold.

NEW MOVES:
L-BUTTON - Block. Also used to drop your weapon, which is useful if you want to pick up a different one.
FORWARD, FORWARD - Run. Then press Punch to clothesline, Kick to do a sliding kick, or Punch+Kick for a leaping kick. You can also jump while running, and perform any jumping attack.
PUNCH+KICK - Crouch. Avoids some attacks. While crouching, press Punch to uppercut, or Kick to knee (very effective attacks).
DOWN+KICK - Low kick. Use to kick barrels.
DOWN+KICK (on top of downed enemy) - Mount enemy.  Press Punch rapidly to hit them in the face.
PUNCH+KICK (on top of downed enemy) - Stomp. Reminds me of Virtua Fighter stomping.
JUMP, DOWN+KICK - Diving Kick. Looks just like Akuma's.
JUMP, PUNCH+KICK - Spinning kick. They had this in DD2, but it acted a bit differently, and had a different command. So it's basically changed enough that it's a new move now.

You can also throw bats/axes with A+B and pick them up again if they hit a wall. Very helpful on the last battle.

Oooooh! Hey thanks for the move list. I knew a few of the new move but didn't know there were so many new ones. This should make it easier with all the new moves.

[animex]

i beat the expert mode too, my fav move;
punch kick punch
kick punch punch
run kick+punch if there r too many of 'em front n back

[animex]

gather all the enemies next to wall, that way is easier to beat all of em together
my fav weapon: doublesticks n the other long doublesticks (i dunno the name) triplesticks?
