I think Ox has the greatest win pose of all time. What happens if you beat the game with Ox without losing any rounds, does it let you fight the CPU Ox after Karnov?
When playing as Ox you do not get to fight CPU Ox at the end, the reason being that after you beat Karnov, his "ending" (which is a glitch) resets the game. You would need to get past his "ending" to face CPU Ox, which is of course not possible. However one thing I did not try is to see if I could skip it before it resets...
19:28 if after Karnov's victory, change the char flag to Ray or another char, and then show the end of the selected character, it will be possible to go to the fight of Ox VS Ox
Also funny enough: “Compared to other fighting games at the time, (Data East’s first fighting game) Fighter's History was known for its strong similarities with Street Fighter II, including a six-button (three-punch, three-kick) control scheme, technical features (such as parallax scrolling for the ground), and limited use of gimmicks (prominent in games like Fatal Fury and Art of Fighting). This has led to Capcom's U.S.A. division initiating a lawsuit against Data East a year later, which due to its ruling in favor of Data East, expanded on the precedent that generic similarities between games did not infringe on copyright law.”
This game kinda just looks like a Street Fighter clone, albeit a solid one. I will say, though, this kinda reminds me of that Tekken 3 milk commercial that featured Forest Law fighting a cow named Lovely.
