Polybius rom snes1/5/2024 ![]() This was an arcade rumour that found it's way to the home console stage, but I can't remember if this rock exists in the console versions.ĭo you see that rock in the forground? The rumour was, that if you entered a special combo whilst doing a spinning bird kick, Chun Li would pick up the rock and throw it at the apponent. So many reasons why, first, it's impossible to do that many but the idea that the elephant would aid in your attack? Kinda daft. I can remember going into arcades and guys would put jackets or shirts over the controls because they knew the special moves and didn't want anyone to copy them! As crazy as that sounds today, that did indeed happen at a few arcades and friends houses. Now at the time this seemed possible, because back then special moves were not widely known, they were not printed in the game manuals like they are today, magazines rarely put a movelist in them because even they didn't know, it was rare for every magazine to put a moves list in. The rumour was that if you played as Ken on that stage and waited until the elephant on the right of the screen lifted it's trunk, if you were able to pull off 10 Shoyruken's in under 5 seconds (which is impossible), the 5th uppercut would know your apponent into the elephants tusk taking away all his health and giving you an instant win for the match. Kens Super Shoyruken: You know the Dalsim stage. So I would be very curious to hear just how far our old urban legends got to, if indeed they made it outside of the local area. There was no internet (well not like we have today). Now, at the time your videogame circle of friends was normally your classroom friends and the wierd kid who lived down the street that 'ALWAYS' had some wierd new thing, be it the power glove or some odd device that you could plug into your MegaDrive to play Master System games. Today these things are so obviously fake and false that they can't possibly be real, but back in the day, videogames were such a new thing that it did almost seem like it could happen. It’s only when you get up close that you’re able to tell there’s more than meets the eye.This is probably going to be tied to the early 90's as it seemed to die out come the late 90's and it's practically unheard of now (thanks to the internet debunk machine).īut when you were growing up, did anyone have or hear of any videogame urban legends? Things like so called cheats which would change a game completely, or things you could do that would pull off one time amazing things that almost nobody had seen because they were super hard? And honestly? At first glance, anyone could mistake it for the actual console. But there’s also a corded Super Famicon controller, a corded Super NES controller, and a removable Polybius game cartridge with a colorful label. The console is the largest part, complete with buttons and the iconic grey and purple design. While he’s managed similar builds in the past-including a LEGO Game Boy Robot among others-this build is really special because of how many parts it features and its attention to detail. LEGO artist Julius von Brunk (aka Baron von Brunk) is the mastermind behind this incredible creation. What looks like an innocent Super Nintendo console, game cartridge, and controllers are actually multiple retro transforming robots. Anyone who is a fan of Super Nintendo, Transformers, Donkey Kong, or all things LEGO will find something to love about this artist’s clever build.
