Tao Taido

Tao Taido is a fighting game developed and published by Video System in 1993, and notorious for all the wrong reasons.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) Terrible fighting mechanics, to unleash special moves you must press and hold the two buttons at the same time while pushing a direction, the time you hold the buttons and the direction you push will get you different special moves, this of course screws with the flow of the match really badly.
 * 2) The special moves look beyond stupid, are awkward and hit too many times, again screwing the gameplay,  and due to the awful mechanics, forget about complex strategies.
 * 3) * the stupid moves include things like, like Chung moving his arms like he was trying to fly, Huey moving in a strange way as he was beign hanged, Chuck doing a dive upwards and then downwards or Papa getting close while his head inflates and deflates constantly.
 * 4) The character designs go from being generic to horrible, most notable in the later is Huey.
 * 5) Cheap AI, which of course has no problem doing the special moves.
 * 6) The game is pay to win since inserting coins during a match will refill your life bar. In fact, it can actually give you even more health than the one you started with.
 * 7) Ugly looking backgrounds, while they are large, they lack color and overall look dull. some also are extremely pixelated too.
 * 8) Awful hitboxes which mixed with priority of some moves absolutely destroys the balance.
 * 9) The final boss is a pallet swap of a regular character, in this case Chung.
 * 10) The ending is just text, and its the same for all eight characters
 * 11) Awful animations, specially with the character Papa.
 * 12) The music is lame, boring and lacks impact
 * 13) The art and portraits of the game look ugly and poorly drawn, specially Chung
 * 14) If the second players enters the game during the character select screen, it will trigger a co-op mode instead of the versus mode, the only way to play versus mode to pick the 2 Player Option on the title screen.
 * 15) 2 players can't have the same character, Street Fighter 2 can do that since its first update, this gets Hypocritical if you are playing as Chung Fighting the final boss since the boss is just him in a different pallet

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) It has co-op.
 * 2) Decent Graphics for it's time that they slightly look like a PS1 2D game despite the problem with the animations and backgrounds
 * 3) as mentioned in WIS #5, You can extend your life meter by pressing start with coins
