How impressive was the Dreamcast to arcade comparison to Soul Calibur in 1998?

This was back in a time where arcade games are more powerful than home console

Depends on the arcade board. The Namco System 12 board was basically a turbo charged PS1 and not in the same league as Sega's Model 3 board at the time.

The background looks like shit. Use some shaders ffs and run the game at original resolution.

Brazilian poorfag here
I remember playing Dreamcast for the first time at a "Locadora" in the early 2000s. I had a PS1 and wasn't impressed by the Sonic Adventure graphics. Even so, I was a Sonic fan and had a Mega Drive (aka Genesis on burgerland) before my PS1.
Later that same year, the Locadora got a PS2 and I was able to experience MoH Frontline and RE Dead Aim. Holy immersion and graphics experience.

If you ever accuse someone of poor English, please make sure your own post is grammatically correct.

Pretty impressive. Soul Calibur was very luxurious feeling game.

He clearly made a typo, while OP's post has fundamentally incorrect English.

Being retarded because you're too lazy to spell check is still being retarded. And ESL can at least argue ignorance.

Actually what the FUCK was crackin when Sega let the Dreamcast die like that? I’m still heated, nigga. STILL. That console was sittin’ in the crib like a straight genius, talkin’ to the future, and Sega treated it like some temporary shit. No protection. No backup. Just vibes and bad decisions
Dreamcast pulled up swingin. Online out the box, arcade-perfect games, visuals smackin’, VMU had a damn screen like “yeah nigga, I’m different.” Shenmue had niggas walkin’ around towns for no reason just ‘cause it felt real. Soulcalibur had brothers beefin’ over controllers. Jet Set Radio had style oozin’ out the damn TV. That shit was crackin.
But Sega? Sega was movin’ like they aint wanna win. Burned the streets too many times already, so when Dreamcast came through clean, folks was like “nah nigga, you ain’t finna get me again.” Trust was dead. Dead-dead. Dreamcast in the crib starvin’ while Sega countin’ pennies and hopin for miracles.
Sony slid in like that rich cousin, calm as hell, money long, talkin’ bout DVDs and “next gen” like they invented oxygen. Sega over here stressed, broke, fightin’ for they life, tryin’ to save face and a whole company at the same time. That ain’t a battle, that’s a damn execution.
And what fucks me up is Dreamcast wasn’t trash. Wasn’t mid. Wasn’t lackin’. That shit was NASTY. Too nasty. Too early. Console was livin’ in the future while everybody else still tryna figure out what a thumbstick do. Sega went broke tryin’ to be first, and the industry said “preciate the work, nigga now move.”
Now years later everybody wanna pop out like “Dreamcast was underrated.”Brother, shut the fuck up. Where was that love when it was sittin’ on shelves collectin’ dust? Y’all ain’t buy it, ain’t defend it, ain’t ride for it. Now you sentimental? Fake love, forreal.
I’ll be in my crib mad about this till I’m old. Dreamcast deserved better, nigga. On everything
