I remember playing this at Coney Island back then.. But they modded the machine to be on TURBO which was almost unplayable. Weird. The one I played somewhere at a bodega in the Bronx was at normal speed. My brother kept saying about Mizoguchi 'That's Ryu's brother' Lmao, ideas we had as kids
Capcom sued the shit outta Data East too. We all knew it was a pretty blatant ripoff. Hell, game mags were saying it was a pretty blatant ripoff. But I think they actually lost...merger principle...can't have a monopoly over an idea. So those small tweaks somehow justified complete lifting of IP lmao. Heh...I liked it.
This game is a head swap of Street Fighter. Mizoguchi is Ryu. Ray is Ken. Ryoko is Sakura. Jean is Vega. Samchay is Adon. Lee is Fei Long. Marstorious is Zangief. Feilin is Chun Li. Matlok is Guile. Clown is Blanka. Karnov is Dhalsim.
