LET'S GO INFINITY EGGS DISCUSSION
I've got Ebay on the other tab open it's over for all y'all!
The Tekken 5 stick is a Hori Real Arcade Pro and was one of the first accessible ways for Americans to get a real Japanese style stick, so in my mind it has to be the most important collector's edition for a fighter ever!!
Based on that alone I’d have to agree! I’m blinded to that knowledge as a pad player 😆
And its quality wasnt great as far as I can tell. I got the Tekken 6 collectors edition for 60€ 10 years back.
@@AshPeace The RAP's were actually decent, the Tekken 6 stick on the other hand... I have it too and it's not a good stick by any means.
@@snipebp Can confirm on the RAP. Had an N Hayabusa I got for sfv and I just replaced it with a Nacon Daija. It served me well.
Infinity Eggs... in a box. Just what every Marvel fan can't wait to buy.
Lol it's not like every Marvel fan didn't mind plastic Easter Eggs Gemstones over the Chaos Emeralds-looking ones anyway
Love the old MK behind the scene stuff. Wish they'd show more of that in their newer games XD
Same! the deadly alliance vid was one of my first looks on what game design even looked like back then
tf you doing here?!
This was flat out entertaining! I'm glad to see someone put this much effort on a vid about fighting games 👏👏👏👏👏 Now I got a channel to binge👌
Thanks so much! I’m happy to hear you dug it 😁
I wanted the snk heroines collector's edition when it came out SO BAD even tho i knew i would never play the game i just really wanted that hat and the shermie pin lol
My buddy and I, who are both fighting game fans, have found several Infinity Eggs at thrift stores, usually for under five bucks. We've made a running joke out of making a big deal about finding one, just to leave it on the shelf and walk on.
Haha that’s a pretty good gag ngl
That Soulcalibur VI steelbook never went off for me, but it did still break to the point where the announcer sounded like he was yammering on with gibberish.
Probably the fate of all those steelbooks
They should have just had the announcer talk when u opened the game case like those old birthday or thank you cards @@baberuthless
Soulcalibur gets the honor of first collector's edition you can waterboard.
To show just how much of a fighting game enthusiast you are.
I was given some of these from friends since they all knew that i love fighting games. Specifically street fighter 6 and street fighter 5. I was surprised about snk heroines having a collector's edition but it looks really cool!
Great video! I remember ordering a second hand copy of TTT2's We Are Tekken Edition, but for some reason it also came with a TTT2 beanie and a t-shirt with some nice Alisa art on it!
Great video. Keep it up! As a note on an obscure collector’s edition: There was a Capcom website exclusive Super Street Fighter 4 collector’s edition called the “Dojo” edition. It came with an Ibuki water bottle, an XL size Dudley T-Shirt, and a gym bag that said Super Street Fighter 4 on it. Little anecdote, I brought that bag to hold my stuff when I ran the New York Marathon, and I had a few people from other countries ask me where I got that bag… it helped me connect with fighting games fans from around the world! 😆 Glad to see your channel growing. Also wanted to thank you, I randomly asked for a photo with your Athena cosplay at this past MAGfest , and you were super nice! Nice to see someone spreading good vibes amongst fighting game fans!
Oh that’s awesome I do remember seeing you at MAG! Thank you for being so nice as well 🙏🏼☺️
Just wanna say, really love your enthusiasm and love of the games. I don’t care much for games but the goodies any game gives is very fun to watch and learn! Keep up the good work on content!
Great video idea! I remember getting P4AU at launch and it coming with the Persona Tarot cards.
Oh yea That’s right! I remember you got half of them through arena and the other half through persona Q
This was a great video! Something different from my usual feed, and on a super niche topic that turned out to be surprisingly informative. I NEED to recreate that Tekken 7 statue….
Just stumbled on your content and I love your work! Can’t wait to see more! 😁
Thank you so much! 😊
Thanks for this video! I've been loving your content, looking forward to your next vid!
Thanks so much! That means a lot ☺️
Loved my collectors edition for street fighter vs Tekken. It came with a little arcade cabinet figurine.
wow im amazed to see so many existed thank you for bestowing this knowledge to the interwebs
I subbed because of the breadth of knowledge presented in this video about such a niche subject that you obviously love. great job
Thank you! I love talking about this kinda goofy stuff I’m glad you enjoyed it 😊
I love the special editions for KoFXV and XIV. The latter had the store clerk be real uppity calling it "the expensive edition" also the big artbook that XIV came with is really great. And can't forget those COMPLETE SOUNDTRACKS
3:18 MOKOCH? MO! KOCK!?
Oh my god I wish I noticed that 😂
I never knew there was an exclusive dlc costume for Scorpion in MKX 😮
There are similar skin for sub and ermac, also the edition help funded the mkx tournament
i'm obsessed with art books! A few months ago i got lucky and found the Tekken 6's one in a thrift store for mad cheap, i hope we get an Tekken 8 one soon 🤞
Tekken needs a new proper art book again! Hopefully after some dlc for 8 comes out perhaps they will
@@baberuthless YES! Also "Fighting game art books" sounds like a Baberuthless's video waiting to happen, huh? 👀 hahah
@@ViKatamari 😉
Oooo bonus points for using “Your Sunset” from Tekken Tag 2! Love that song.
Probably one of the best tekken tunes out there!
THANK YOU! Deception absolutely has thee best sub zero design (And his coolest fatality)
Another great video as always ruthless, keep it up!
Thank you ☺️
I miss going into game shops and buying or preordering collectors editions. One of my favorites was assassins creed brotherhood codex edition that came with the assassin box, book and other goodies.
fighting game collectors editions are my favourite thing, cool video :)
Enjoyed the video. Thank you for your work. Love the Street Fighter 20th anniversary edition. The codes still worked about a year ago. However they are US only, so I needed to setup my PS3 with a US based account in order to use them.
Daaaammmm!!! Hit the nail on the head ! I did get Halo 2 steelbook and like now with 4k movies dents reminds you. Lolz Awesome Upload 👍
I love collector editions that come with figures, I always want to have physical versions of my favorite characters to display on a desk. I only wanted the MVCI box for the Megaman X statue, but I already have the Kotobukiya figure which came out much later
You have finally given me an explanation for my agony. When I was a kid I would go to flea markets a lot and this guy was selling MK Deception for a cheap price. I could only get one thing while I was there, and seeing Shredder Sub-Zero on the box made me confident in my pick. I get home and it’s just Mortal Kombat OG with some commentary of the ACTUAL MK Deception. I felt so betrayed and confused but yknow what now I have a sense of closure
Love yer videos, pls keep it up!
Wake up honey, new Baberuthless video just dropped
Awesome video! Glad I found your channel, very cool stuff your showing off! I was gonna get the 25th anniversary of guilty gear Strive but the DLC is not on the disk and the soundtrack only has 5 songs off of it. The only reason to get it at that point is the artbook basically. My favorite video game collections are definitly kingdom hearts 1 for the ps3 and Re 2 remake. Keep on being awesome in meantime
The soundtrack only has 5 songs? Wow that might be the worst one yet
@@baberuthless 🥲and the game is so beautiful looking to
I had the Tekken 6 collectors edition that came with a sick white hoodie. I wore that EVERYWHERE.
lol I actually worked on the Soulcalibur V and Tekken tag HD NA versions back when I was doing game packaging. lol this takes me back !
Both turned out great! 😊
I had the Soulcalibur IV Collector's Edition and always wanted the Soulcalibur V one. Would even wear the special shirt that game with it to school (Yoda and Siegfried one).
new baberutheless video have to put this one in my special edition steel case youtube tab along with my strawberry scented plushie so i don't lose it
A plushie would be very fitting
Thank you for the video Power Ranger Villain
The 2 collector's editions that I keep were MK9 and MvCI 😊 ... Also MK Armageddon had cell of entire cast with Ed Boon signature printed as GameStop preorder bonus
That Fatal Cutie hat is so cool
Love the content 🔥
I never bought the collectors edition for MKX and I still got the Gold Scorpion skin a few years back it was free on the ps store right around the time MK11 was coming out I remember seeing people posting about it on a MK reddit forum I was part of back then.
I have the Marvel Vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds “Special Edition” with a really awesome slipcase, fantastic Steel book with awesome art… and even a short intro Comic/Artbook, and a handful of character sheets with art and special moves.
I saw this in my recommendations, even though I’ve always been the type of person to settle for the barebone when it came to being in niche communities. This video kind of convinced me that the next time my favorite IP releases a collector’s edition I might as well join in on the hype 😅
We didn't get the special edition of Dissidia 1 over here, but we did get Duodecim. That came with cards of the newcomers and a Tifa recolour costume. This was the era where every SE game on PSP had a special edition costume for Duodecim, though. That was a fun time.
Truly the peak of that series
@@baberuthless God, I wish NT lived up to the originals.
@@The4thSnake cant understand that game, it didnt even have LAN play
Such truth about the art books in the limited editions. You get so little and it’s worth throwing 40 bucks down for a deluxe art book.
I got Skullgirls for Switch. Sold by limited-run games. I got the version that came with the vinyl record. At that point, I already had the game on PC. I just wanted a physical copy, and to play it on Switch would be cool. I remember the game was taking longer than expected. So they sent everyone a code to get the game digitally so you could start playing while you waited. It was nice of them to do that. The vinyl record is really cool. I ended up getting the Rocket League and Elden Ring vinyl as well. I probably should get a record player. XD
MK9 Is goated as hell and got me into fighting games.
Amazing video!
7:45 Most definitely. Bought a SF4 arcade stick that I ended up using as a stash-spot
Was it... Your emergency stash?
@@lajenehuen260 HAHA perhaps 😅💨
I still have my little bust of Akuma from preordering the 15th anniversary street fighter collection. Crazy what they are putting out these days.
For Tekken TT2, there's 4 editions that comes with more times, the Italian exclusive iron fist edition and also Christie monteiro edition, the french exclusive Tekken statue edition and lastly we got the asian exclusive Asia prestige edition There's also an Australian eb games exclusive Tekken 8 King edition
This video was amazing
So yeah, those video trading cards in MKD are named that because they were the "video versions" of the trading cards that came with MK Deception's premium pack. They had the same design and all. I remember mine (also had the Premium Pack on PS2) was a Sub-Zero one, so I guess it just...came with that.
I wish I could find mine 😭
Mortal kombat chess is how my two friends learned how to play chess 😂
I had the MK Deception premium pack that my brother got me for my birthday. I still have the metal trading card that it came with, I got Subzero with mine.
I would love if more fighting games included controllers like arcade sticks, hitboxes or controllers, that shit sounds awesome!
I managed to nab the SF6 Mad Gear box as a local store a while back and honestly, best 240 bucks I spend (bonus that it got reduced to that price from 280 bucks, but tbh, Pop Up Parade figues are usually around 60 - 70 bucks each, so kinda fair pricing)
Ngl, If I got into the Soulcalibur series earlier, I probably would have loved that Sophitia statue as a self-admitted simp for the Alexandra sisters.
Really good video!
Oh I still have that sweet Halo 2 box from launch day. Still in good knick too.
As always Grade A video!
that SNK heroines collector's edition is really cute!
Yeah who would own infinity stones or a captain America shield *looks over to my life size solid metal captain America shield *
Sorry…
Killer Instinct 2013 had an interesting limited edition called the Pin-Ultimate edition. It didn't come with a physical copy of the game (just a code for the ultra edition of season 1) so there was no game case, so instead what you got was a pin display case that had spaces reserved for 16 of them (8 of them were for the season 1 characters and the other were various symbols related to KI) and 2 pins included (Jago and the KI symbol). Penny Arcade did the artwork for the pins which was pretty neat. And speaking of Penny Arcade, you could only get the rest of the pins from their web site.
You just unlocked a memory for me, i totally forgot about that pinset! I remember debating getting it since it was the closest there was to a physical copy of the game at that time
@@baberuthless Yeah, I was completely on board the hypetrain for the game that I shelled out for the pin case. It was a bit of a missed opportunity to not have a collector's or limited edition physical release for the game's 10th anniversary though. At the very least, I'd settle for a cool steelbook and the full stellar soundtrack spanned across multiple CDs (and they have to be named Killer Cuts 😉).
If they release a CD not called Killer cuts it might as well not exist
Man I wish every future fighting game collector's editions/pre-order bonuses can do something similar what SNK Heroines does. Gotta respect that game for actually cares what "collector's edition/pre-order bonuses" mean. But hey at least we got some dog tags from DOA5, so that's neat to say coming from the Lei Feng main myself.
I started wearing my Tekken 6 hoodie just this year. It was my personal most precious collectors item and was scared to wear it cause I hat the white one haha. All in all, I feel collectors editions got so expensive now, that most of the time the statue isn't even worth it anymore to me. Which is why I liked the Sophitia one, the statue was amazing and it wasnt so expensive
Can’t remember the last time any game collectors gave you a towel. Except I distinctly remember preordering Super Mario Sunshine at Toys R Us giving you a pretty large beach towel.
Damn well that’s probably one of the best pre order bonuses ever ngl
15:54 Tekken DVD Case is actually "Perfect" for Loose Tekken CDs.
Good idea!
Amazing video
I like guilty gear signs limited edition purely for the reason that it looks like the tome of origins and has the guilty gear codex which helps bring you up to everything that’s going on in guilty gear story wise. You don’t have to go back and try to play the old games are scour through wikis, It’s a pretty easy way to catch up on 15 years of lore so you can just hop into signs story.
Didn't see the video credit at first. Wasn't expecting those arms! 4:13
I got swole!
I can already imagine someone sleeping soundly and out of nowhere, your dreams take a turn for the worse when you hear Xemnas go "WELCOME TO THE STAGE OF HISTORY" Also, I definitely loved the Tekken 7 Collector's Edition, and the statue is great, however, I will warn that if you plan to get the statue from that CE, you might need a clear transparent stick or support for it, as over time, the Kazuya figure will slowly start weighing down. I missed out on the Tekken 8 Collector's since I was broke. I also loved the Guilty Gear Xrd SIGN Collector's Edition. And I unfortunately lost the keychain that came with that one.
For anyone wondering the kollectors edition scorpion skin is free now in mkx
I didn't know the SF4 movies are canon. My fave part was when Ken was monologuing toward the end. And then said, "Ur gunna be a godfather, Ryu." ❤️
We will never forget the infinity eggs
Note the golden scorpion skin was sold and is sold separately and it’s included in the xl edition
That Jin statue is so nice wtf. Gotta find a seller now.
I don't remember getting a collectors edition for a fighting game (even though I remember those videos with the actors for MKD which means maybe I did?) I only ever got the Halo 3 one and the one for Jade Empire, and then I stopped because the bonus was a starter character avatar that I was never gonna use.
Those videos with the actors in MK:D are in the base game but you get even more of those vids in the collectors edition
Fantastic video Babe. Man are those infinity Stones Lame as hell.
Like south park snow day!!! LMFAO 😂😂😂
"Casuals are probably fine just using a pad" Me: *hastily shoving my standard controller under the couch* haha yeah totally
I am also that person to be fair 😅
15:40 Oh hey it's Wicked!
great video
I'm glad I'm not the only one with a fighting game-themed pachislot.
Hell yea! Which one you got?
@@baberuthless @baberuthless The Soulcalibur one! It's fun to use and a real conversation starter. Unfortunately I bought it at the height of the pandemic so shipping was twice what it should have been. But the unit itself was inexpensive and altogether it was still less than a PS5.
Ooo a soul calibur one! If it’s the one I’m thinking I think that one was based on soup calibur 5? That one looks pretty dope
@@baberuthless Yup that's the one!
Great video, BUT Seeing you put that SC6 collectors edition case in the water hurt my soul ngl
Sorry, it had to be done
The biggest Collectors edition I have is the Halo 3 Legendary edition, the one with the Master Chief replica helmet. I have a few stuff from Limited Run Games as well. For fighting games though, I only have the Mortal Kombat Deception Kollector's Edition(Mileena cover) for XBox. I'm trying to avoid getting the collector stuff now though. I don't need all that crap they come with, lol.
Yea most these days are just ok
Actually Gold Scorpion can be acquired for free now alongside blue steel Sub Zero & krimson Ermac, I just found out recently after getting XL digitally and the option was revealed not entirely sure how that works
Wow. I have most of these, lol! For Soul Calibur 4 I bought both the 360 and ps3 versions before I even owned a ps3, lol! For sf4 I got the 360 version. I've never liked c viper but I still have the figurine, though she lives in her box permanently.
She probably should stay in that box honestly😅
To be frank a good Collector's Edition for me just needs a fine Artbook, a Soundtrack CD (TTT2 OST CD Bundle was the best one so far) and a statue. If the SF6 Mad Gear Box just had a CD with all the Character and Stage OSTs on it I wouldn't have hesitated at all. Seems though that we still have to wait for a real ULTIMATE Collector's Edition for a Fighting Game.
Tekken does have the best collectors editions, lowkey wish for a Reina statue in Tekken 9
I got that tekken6 Edition with the stick, still own the art book and game.
I got the art book still! The stick a gave away…
@@baberuthless I use to have it all, I only got it cus thw FIGHT STICK, it was my first stick with a square stick (LOVE square charge partician... great with charge characters) I use it to play NGBC, KOF98UM SF4 and KOFXIII. It stop working so I send it to fix with a friend, he close store and lost it for ever.... ._. Was a good stick just so sad it broked, buttons stoped working iver all. Alos BEST TK girl Asuka, she has the BEST Status and are rare, hope to get a special edition with Asuka and NOT reina tbh. :b
the mortal kombat x gold scorpion skin is now free in the store ^^
8:39 funny that you actually can get Gold Scorpion digitally since he’s free now The enteral rivals preorder for Aftermath however….
This video is for me.
The only Collectors Edition I have is the first Injustice games, and I really liked it, but I wish I had the UK Statue instead.
