Star Wars: Masters of Teras Kasi (PS1) Playthrough - NintendoComplete

A playthrough of LucasArts' 1997 versus-fighter for the Sony PlayStation, Star Wars: Masters of Teräs Käsi.

The video shows two separate playthroughs. The first is with Luke Skywalker on the default difficulty level. The second playthough, beginning at 14:35, is done playing Slave Leia, or "Princess Leia!" as she is labelled. She has an exclamation point because she is a secret character. I included her specifically as a nod to poor Carrie Fisher.

The music sounds very different because I replaced all of it. Anytime I try to upload anything with Star Wars music in it it gets blocked outright by YouTube, so I turned the in-game music off. The music that is playing is a recording of Star Wars midi files played back through a Sound Blaster 16 for that fun retro feeling. It's all FM, so I doubt anybody would care.

Anyways, this Star Wars title was the first (and I think the only) time LucasArts ever did a fighting game, and it takes place between episodes IV and V. It's unfortunate, given the potential here, that the game is super-sloppy. It looks okay, if a bit bland, and the sound effects are all well-replicated from the films, and of course the (actual) music is fantastic, all being taken from the original movie scores by John Williams. The gameplay is pretty all over the place, though. There isn't really any combo system in place, 3D movement is really awkward and does make it hard to line up hits at times, and there really aren't many moves available at all, even with the differences between when you're holding a weapon or empty handed.
