Battle of the Best
A downloadable game
Seven fighters - plus a few others here and there - have gathered from around every realm to throw fists and determine, who is truly the best!
Created using the Ikemen Go engine, our team of international dumbasses have made Battle of the Best - a traditional fighting game based on the aesthetics of SNk vs. CapCom - Match of the Millenium. Featuring beautiful animations crafted by us, we hope to deliver a unique and fun experience that can please both casual fighting game fans and the most hardcore arcade gamers
Meet the cast:
- The Eternal Wanderer
- The Fire-Breathing Fist
- The Raging Dragon
- The Man Possessed by an Evil Spirit
- The Meddling Kid and his Dog
- The Terminator
- The Pink Puffball
- And many more to come!
Dynamic gameplay:
- 3 + 2 button layout for punches, abilities and dodges
- Iconic and creative special and super moves
- Unique characters
- Character-specific abilities
- Bosses and bonus stages
- Flashy combos
- Defensive options - pushblocks, dodges and guard cancels
- Lively animations, fantastic music, taunts, special interactions, and lots and lots of fanservice to make every fan grin like a madman
The game is free to download and play, and as it is an Ikemen project, every aspect of it can be changed, taken out and modified. However, we advise against this, as the game was built entirely to be a complete package

I'm trying to download the new version in my laptop, but it says it's a virus and doesn't allow me to update.
Here are the following troubles:
I've also tried to download the new version in the official webpage, but it was also affected by the virus and couldn't be installed.
I don't know what is wrong with my game, I downloaded it from the website, and tried to open it, but it seems that it won't, despite having DirectX and NET Framework, the game won't open anyways, I tested with games from many years ago and they opened succesfully, so, I have this question: What do I really need to open the game and check it out...?
It might be because of the engine does not work with the older computer system you have, in which case we're sorry, it's a shame. Ikemen GO does sadly not work with every hardware
It's not an old computer, I have a PC with Windows 11 and an AMD Ryzen 5 3400G with Radeon Vega Graphics of 3.70 GHz, I'll send you a capture:
P.S: My PC is in Spanish because I'm from Peru and my English is good but not excellent, if you could translate this it in your language would be a great job out there.
I'll wait for your response and then send you a test of the game not working.
Here is the evidence that the game won't open, I recorded it in a free video editor (Wondershare Filmora 14) but it couldn't capture the "game" footage due to the screen resizing:
As you can see, the game icon on the desktop won´t show up after a while, and doesn't soud anything related to the game, how could it be possible, related to my previous comment.
Alright, I tried it on a different PC, in this case, my Acer laptop with Windows 10, an Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7200U CPU @ 2.50GHz with 2.71 GHz, and... it worked well, it opened and I could tested it a little.
Here's the laptop especifications (again, in Spanish, so you could translate it):
So again, what could be the reason that the game isn't working on my real PC?
I see you're running it directly from the compressed rar file.
Try extracting it to a folder and running it from there.
Most of the time running games from a compressed archive such as zip or rar won't work properly as the contents are stored in temporary files until you unpack it onto your drive.
On some cases it could work from the compressed archive, but the executable would have a harder time accessing required packages and config files from inside the rar.
I first tried it outside of a RAR (file extracted) in my PC, but it didn't work. So I decided to try the game inside the RAR (file compressed) and it didn't work either. Here's the confirmation btw:
Then I decided to test it in my laptop, first compressed, then extracted, and in both cases, the game worked, IDKW, so I wanted to ask the creator about what really is the trouble with the game in my PC, why it doesn't work here but in my laptop it does.
