Fighter's History

released on Mar 19, 1993

Fighter's History is a 1993 arcade fighting game developed and published by Data East. It's the inaugural game in the Fighter's History series. The main unique feature of the Fighter's History is its weak point system, which allows the player to temporarily stun an opponent by repeatedly hitting their weak point. Fighter's History became infamous for being the subject of a lawsuit against Data East by Capcom, who claimed the game is too similar to its hit title, Street Fighter II, and as such is copyright infringement on its property. The case was found in Data East's favor however, as the court found that the copied elements were scenes a faire, elements necessary for depicting the scenario. The game was later ported to the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1994, and followed by a sequel Karnov's Revenge for Neo Geo. There are three different gameplay modes are available. CPU Battle is the traditional arcade mode, where the player select a character and try to complete the game by beating all of the other fighters. In survival mode, the player select a team of five characters to go up against another team. And finally versus mode, where the player can go up against his friends.

Esse é um clone de SF2 tão mas tão clone que a Data East chegou a ser processada pela Capcom por plágio, mas conseguiu se sair bem na justiça para não ser efetivado o processo.

O que a gente tem aqui? Para todos os fins, é a formula básica de SF2, com os personagens caricatos, 6 botões, movimentos especiais, etc. Porém, o jogo tem um gameplay incrivelmente fluido e tranquilo, sem ser tão janky assim, tendo um lado responsivo muito bom.

Os personagens são meio sem graça, exceto um e outro (o Mizoguichi é inegavelmente muito fera). Os gráficos são bem OK, considerando que é um jogo já de 1993 para 1994 mas tem um feeling geral de algo tipo começo dos anos 90 mesmo, e não metade. Cenários também na média, trilha sonora bem legalzinha... é isso.

Um joguinho de luta mediano pra bom, que dá pra tirar uns contras, mas não é realmente nada de mais.

Nothing special... Nothing good. Honestly just nothing in general. This game is nothing. It's a very bland SFII clone and it's about on par with SFI. Of course the graphics are better than the first Street Fighter but gameplay wise it's about the same. The CPU input reading is also awful in this game.

SF2 clone alright. Not nearly as funny.

The low-rent Street Fighter 2. AND YOU KNOW WHAT?! I like it. Fuck off <3
