Beat-em-up/Action game Zako (2 Viewers)

[Lamartes]

Quite easy to do using Cheat Engine. Load the game on Supermodel Emulator or another one that got it working, select "Tenshin", scan for Value: 3 (Value Type = 2bytes), die, press to continue, select "White", scan for the exact value 1, scan for unchanged values, die, press to continue, select linda, scan for 2, die, continue, select spike, search for 0... if you repeat this process you'll soon find just a couple of values who always change accordingly to the selection, one of them is the real deal. Select those values and click on the Red Pointer, the values will go down to the editor.
Now in the selection screen after the continue, change these values all at once (or 1 by 1 in case you want to find the exact address) for any other number above 3 (don't go with a number that's larger than the total number of npcs in the game, like 10000... or it'll surely crash) and press Space with all of them selected so you can Freeze them, and once you select the character, it'll be an NPC.
This method can be done in almost all games.
There are other hacking methods that I enjoy using, like freezing and manipulating animations at will, swapping npcs, swapping fighting styles, unlocking gender specific attacks to be done on both genders..

Note: WIth cheat engine you can also pause 99,9% of the games, including this one, by going into settings and setting a shortcut for the pause.

Zone4 and its DirtyX class, Spikeout with Linda's grab attack and Fighters Club with Remi's Max Payne skill were always on top of my recorded ryona video list.
I'm not sure if Fury from Auran can be considered a beat'em up, but it surelly had some zakos and you could surely beat and be beaten by everybody using syncronized finishing moves with punches and kicks.
Also, talking about Spikeout, you can mod the Spikeout Final Edition to play as any boss or npc you wish (Example as me playing as a boss character against 2 female zakos: youtu.be/o7MWbHN4pQ4?t=1m8s). I'm waiting to see Spikeout Battlestreet emulated on xqemu or cxbx reloaded to see if the same exploit can be done over there.


Now about Unbound Saga, that's the first news for me, I've never heard about, and that's something HARD to happen, now I'll have to check it out, thanks for the info!

Your welcome!! Much appreciated. Out of all the beat 'em up games I discovered, I only played Gekido: Urban Fighters, and it was on my Sony Xperia phone using FPSE. I would like to play Unbound Saga using a PSP emulator like PPSSPP, but the textures of the PSP version are kinda crummy and the nurses' bellies are less toned

i'm not really sure what's going wrong, i've found the addresses but no matter what i set the numbers to, it just stays as one of the default 4 characters.

 

[Lamartes]

That's weird, try enabling "MEM_MAPPED" in Edit/Settings/Scan Settings, if that doesn't solve the case, try switching the scan from 2bytes scan to 1byte scan as a last resort.
Also, remember to freeze the values you want to force on the editor. You can do that by clicking on the square boxes in the "Active" tab, or select all of them and press space.

 

[EvilDraconis]

yeah, it's just not working. maybe i'm not reading the steps clearly or something, but every time i try i end up narrowing it down to a couple addresses that are definitely changing depending on what character i select, but if i modify them and lock them after continuing it just sticks with whatever character anyways.

Hello again, I'm going to show you another one of my favorite zakos. And, it's from a pretty popular fighting game, Tekken 6
Behold!!

Female thugs (the ones on the left and right side of Asuka) from Tekken 6's Scenario Campaign mode (exclusive to PS3 and XBOX 360 versions of the game). One of my favorite zakos, though I never played Tekken 6 except in arcades and the PSP version on my phone using an emulator which has no Scenario Campaign mode. I find them to be adorable and cool in the same time though, as I have a liking for tomboys. Their bodies appears to be slightly toned, with mid-sized breasts (sometimes can be seen as flat due to the angle). They have three variants in the game:

1st variant. Short bobbed brown hair, cropped dark grey tank top/camisole, black fingerless gloves, black leggings with a leather belt and a pair of dark brown/olive boots. The easiest one to dispatch, but slightly rarer. My favorite variant here!!

2nd variant. Dark brown ponytail hair, white tank top/camisole, black fingerless gloves with white arm wraps, dark green with a waist wrap held by a black leather belt and a pair of purple-brown boots. The most common female thug, but still easy to dispatch

3rd variant. Short bobbed blonde hair, olive dark grey tank top/camisole, black fingerless gloves with olive arm wraps, camo pants with a waist wrap held by a black leather belt and a pair of black boots. The stronger one of the female thugs, and much durable than the others

Some gameplay footages I found. They're mostly found in stages with female bosses (well some, only for Asuka, Xiaoyu and Christie):




There are also other zakos in the game as well such as samba dancers (only in Christie's stage), female bodyguards as well as female Tekken Force members (usually wearing white uniform). The funny part about them is they wriggle while holding their stomach/back when KO'd. They appear to get bone fractures after being kicked and punched multiple times

 

[EvilDraconis]

gonna assume they don't have any grabs or other moves? tekken force never really did either

 

[Tsukachan]

Mostly the female thugs are using Asuka/Julia's moveset so, no. If Tekken 7 probably add a beat 'em up mode as a DLC like Tekken Bowl, I would love to see more female enemies such as wrestler girls, schoolgirls, kunoichis and etc

 

[NNin]

They don't. Though Samba Dancer can use some of Christie's moves that can do counter stun, stomach stun and wall stun. If you want your gal to get ryona'd by zako, Samba Dancer is the best bet in this game.

Ever heard of Pharaonic? Think of old 2D Prince of Persia, mixed with Dark Souls. Really it's a clickfest game where you need super reflexes, so really not my thing, but the setting is pretty awesome - ancient Egypt. What's more, enemies are varied male and female soldiers, using the same graphics as your character, and given the era, armor is rather... light, resulting in some sexy outfits. :)
What's better, the creators nicely included a camera mode which lets you pause the game and look around or even go through the whole level as a phantom! So I (ab)used it and made some screenies of the sexy guard ladies. Ragdoll physics - including your own death, which will happen really often- are crazy, with twisting necks and limbs. I hear later in the game you can make huge bodypiles even as yes, the corpses are permanent until you die.

What an amazing find!! A zako-only 2.5D beat 'em up!! I'm looking forward for any other types of zakos there, I hope there are some good ones as well

Still about Fighters Club Online (sorry for short hiatus), there's still some more female enemies/zakos in the game. Here's the next part:

Female beachgoers, the first female enemy to be encountered in the game. They appear to be middle-aged redhead girls wearing purple sweaters tied to their waist, purple sleeveless floral shirt and a while bikini underneath. Their attack mostly consists of picking up rocks and tossing it to the player. Pretty easy to pummel, as they're low-leveled zakos
Video:

Medic girls. These brown-skinned teenage pinkette girls can be found later on in the first area (Fitzellen Port). They wear white shirts with what appears to be black vest/suspenders, black bra underneath, while trousers, a pair of white rubber gloves and black high-heels. They don't attack, but rather heal the surrounding enemies. Can be a trouble for newbie solo players if she's paired with muscular enemies. Their health is moderate though
Here's a video of the medic girl getting a painful backbreaker from a muscular wrestler:

Ignore the guy on the right, our focus would be on the mafia girl on the left. She works for a local crime boss named Fatso. Wears a black suit with the same white shirt as the medic girl underneath, black rubber gloves and black high heels. She wields a handgun to shoot down her attackers. Some melee attacks will do the trick to dispatch her
Video:

Flamethrower girl. These female thugs wear purple skin-tight jeans and midriff-baring vests, as well as a cat mask and a prosthetic cannon. The fireballs fired from her cannon can be dangerous, as it damages anything around it when explodes. Pretty easy to dispatch, though
Video:

Claw girls. These girls are just simply remodel and palette swap of the flamethrower girls with metal claws on their hands. Not too dangerous, but has a slightly higher health. When hurt, it emits a soft, coquettish moan that sometimes arouses the players
Video of one of the claw girls being flamed using a flamethrower while moaning before she runs out of health and blacks out:


To be continued next time!! See ya

Thanks for information!!

Cool!! Much appreciated!!
Don't forget to check out my other discoveries as well

Nice. Can you further undress the zako by defeating them, I wonder?

"The Initial" game was talked about for a bit on page 22 of this thread, looked interesting and decided to buy it. (Pretty great for an indie game) Even though there's no voice acting outside of cutscenes, the ryona is still pretty good IMO. I really like the sword wielding zakos, they come in large swarms, as well as having a cute and sexy design. (No footage sadly since it's not supported by shadowplay, and the camera is a bit finicky at times since there's no zoom in/out)

Their moves are pretty basic:

• A 3 hit combo that ends with a spin slash, the last hit is slow so it's easy to dodge or perfect guard it. (knockdown on hit)
  
• A thrust slash that breaks your guard, no follow up.
• A front flip slash, jump into the air and strikes you with both weapons. Mostly uses this when you are far from her, though sometimes they will use this as their third attack in their combo. (knockdown on hit)
  

NNin Also, since you asked about it on pg 22, unfortunately there are no upgraded version of this girl in the game. They also do not seem to have new moves on very hard difficulty, just more damage. (Same with the blue hair swimsuit girl)

Some of the images were from a dev commentary map, unfortunately no dev comments about these girls.

Black Delmo Too sad :< I wish the zako in game has more special attack in the laters stage. Only red-haired swimsuited girl can punish the heroine with special moves. But at least they are pretty XD.

They have cute panties. When I search on YouTube for this game, their panties always seem to be black. Is that a graphics setting you cranked up? Also, it's too bad they didn't make the girls have different hair color/styles, clothing colors, etc.

Checking the graphic settings again, I didn't see a character model setting. (Just anti-aliasing, depth of field, and stuff like that) So they might've changed it in an update (or before the game came out) but didn't mention it. Yeah it would've been nice if they did have different variety of looks.

Yeah : ( which reminds me, there is another version of the blue-hair swimsuit girl with a different blade that guards attacks and has a roll move. But nothing else besides that, not as good as the red-haired one and her moves. Hope they continue making more updates/games also some dev commentary on them.
