And yes, those sexy ladies do get some pretty harsh treatment, but you know how morality often seems to work in media: the "good guys" can be as harsh/brutal as they want because they are on the good side, and the "bad guys" deserve whatever harsh/brutal treatment they get because they are on the bad side. Regarding the "seamen" and Space Adventure Cobra, it's from the late 70s and early 80s. Still, while that's a slower method it is still very doable. So that leaves only the slower method that HyperZealot mentioned. However, when it comes to Nora there are two bad pieces of news: the data/character sprites are closed/inaccessible in version 5, and Nora is only in version 5. Also (I think) on harder difficulties she is the first enemy who can combo (the mega slap attack she has).ĭynamiteFetish, the data/character sprites for Streets of Rage Remake version 4 were open - in fact, that's how I made the sprite sheet of Soozie. In SOR3 Soozie is the first enemy who can move quickly and erraticly with the huge jump kick, and evade attacks by jumping backwards. If I remember correctly she is one of the strongest enemies in the game, excluding the juggler guys. In SOR1 Nora has considerably more health than her male enemy counterparts especially noticable on harder difficulties. The obvious exceptions being Streets Of Rage 1 & 2 (used to great effect towards the end of the first stages) and Streets Of Rage 3 (Bare Knuckle 3) from early on in the stage. You don't tend to see zako on first levels of a lot of console games either, though. Golden Axe is also worth a mention (with the first rideable creature, nice touch).

Entering from the bottom of the screen, the AA gun she carries is 2 or 3 shot kill (from full health, if I remember correctly) and she will fire at anyone not evading properly. Similar for Dynamite Cop (Dynamite Deka 2) on all 3 missions a zako carries one of the first machine guns in mission 1, the first gun of any kind (pistol) (another zako carries the first melee weapon, in mission 2 and heavy weapon (AA gun) in mission 3. She is also the first character who would give a lot of n00bs and players trouble in the arcade (I remember the first time I played the game she almost exclusively cost me a continue - $2 worth of credit at the time) with fast movement, punishing moves and grabs. The only ones I can think of off the top of my head about first level placement for an arcade game would be Die Hard Arcade (Dynamite Deka) depending on how you split levels on the game but the 2nd room after four enemies or so. Let's face it, zako are to be treasured! The way they are placed in some games can be done to great effect, I think. If it was a concious decision by developers or just one of those massive coincidences. I have wondered about this in the past as well. They were so hot, yet treated like cannon fodder by both the hero and the villain.
#RYONA DENJIN MAKAI TV#
They were always my favorite zako from a tv show by far, with their blonde hair and pink bodysuits. Saikogun, it's funny you brought up the "seamen" from Space Adventure Cobra. Thanks once again for your hard work in putting these sprite sheets together, and for sharing them. Everything from the way she attacks, to how she wiggles around while on the ground, to how she reacts to being punched in the stomach while being held from behind or slowly slides down the wall if you use certain weapons against her. Lastly, the dominatrix from Vendetta is one of my favorites. That would normally bother me but for her I make an exception.her hotness gives her a pass. She always seemed sexy in a vaguely weird (or, as you said, skanky) way, with her bouncing around on one foot and all. There's something for everyone in that scenario: either a whole squadron of zako beating up the hero, or a whole squadron of zako beat down and piled up or strewn about like garbage.įox from Undercover Cops was always a great one - too bad that game was not well known. It was interesting to have one level devoted entirely to female enemies. I also liked the nameless hookers from Renegade, both the blonde one and the jeans-wearing one.
Do you mind if I ask what program you use for ripping sprites? There are a few zako from older games I'd like to do sprite rips of myself.Ĭarol from Captain Commando and the ninja from Punisher are of course well known, and deservedly so. I actually remember each and every one of those zako, but I never expected to see sprite sheets of them. Thanks for those excellent sprite sheets.
