1: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx9

Kato Yoshinori is good, right?

2: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx34

Bega is nice, isn’t it?

4: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx28

I wonder how many people at that time really understood the original source.

You would normally think it’s a story about the imperial city, right?

7: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx13

>>4

I thought so too.

5: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx11

It’s too much like that…

6: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

Rikiou was quite popular, and I think he was relatively well recognized.

8: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

It’s amazing to take character design and then make that beaten-up face if you lose.

9: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx8

>>8

Wajizaki is a copy too, so it’s safe, safe.

10: Japan Otaku Reviews

Rikiou didn’t notice that they were passing around comics at school.

Kato was aware of it, but just copying Rikiou’s one cut like that isn’t enough after just reading it once.

11: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder which way Capcom intended to pay homage at that time.

13: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>11

The name Vega apparently comes from the Arabic word for “vulture.”

Completely Washizaki

12: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

If we’re talking about faces that convey being done in, Washizaki’s is worse.

Global death

14: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

This is a motif, but Dash Vega is exactly like that, isn’t it?

15: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It was a generous era, wasn’t it?

16: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx13

New characters in fighting games are about 80% characters I’ve seen somewhere before.

17: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx11

>>16

In the case of arcade action games before fighting games, it becomes even more apparent that they want to turn that movie into a game.

Commando and Rambo are fighting aliens.

20: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

>>17

I understand that feeling, but…

18: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

The Vega from Street Fighter 2, which copied Wajizaki who copied Kato from Teito Monogatari.

Hiroshi Aramata should have stolen something from Capcom.

19: Japan Otaku Reviews

I can’t tell which is the imitation and which is the original.

21: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s a game where there’s a character named Guile who resembles Polnareff.

22: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx13

It’s not just a copy; it’s almost traced.

28: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>22

The title of The Super Ninja is almost exactly the same as the Shadow Warriors of Shinichi Chiba.

Well, the game’s content is not even in that league, though, buhahaha.

23: Japan Otaku Reviews

For a long time, characters like Schwarzenegger, Stallone, Jackie, and Bruce Lee were mistaken for free assets.

Was it Tekken that was indulging in that chicken race until the very last moment?

24: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

If it were imported directly from Teito Monogatari, it would probably be a rather aesthetics-driven Vega, either with a Maruo Suehiro face or an Amano Yoshitaka face.

25: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx18

Why was it trendy to put Polnareff in fighting games?

26: Japan Otaku Reviews

Since it’s derived from the power king, I think Kato Yasunori isn’t being blamed for copying it.

27: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Awkward copyright laundering

29: Japan Otaku Reviews

Actually, the illustration before the match is just a trace of the frame in the thread.

Isn’t it amazing?

30: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Fighting games have no rules, right?

31: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is the ending of EVO featuring Strength King related to this?

32: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

Is it really okay for something like this to be allowed?

Is it really okay for something like this to be allowed?

78: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>32

There was also an original source…

33: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

It’s like a Spanish ninja or a Oita Warsman, and M. Bison has no excuses.

The design of Bruce Lee is a shared asset of the world.

50: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

>>33

It must be Warsman and the nameless demon.

It is unclear why ninjas mixed in with the Iizuna drop.

34: Japan Otaku Reviews

The bison’s hairstyle also has some inspiration from a manga, you know.

35: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>34

Is it the Koshin Karate Club?

36: Japan Otaku Reviews

Bison also appears in the Power King.

37: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder what the tolerant and open atmosphere around fighting game copying and being copied was about…

38: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>37

Era?

55: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>37

It’s not limited to fighting games.

It was just that I was either tolerant, generous, or simply brazen.

It felt like how we perceive Chinese people today.

39: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

Everyone! I want to see that character fighting!

40: Japan Otaku Reviews

Tekken often draws from lesser-known sources like the full-bellied boxer Tokugawa, so there are many things that go unnoticed.

41: Japan Otaku Reviews

I never thought I would hit such a stupid jackpot.

42: Japan Otaku Reviews

Useless, useless, useless~!

43: Japan Otaku Reviews

Well, it’s an old story…

I thought, but it seems the recent Bio is also getting scolded and I’m like, hey!

44: Japan Otaku Reviews

Capcom is too much of a Jump kid…

45: Japan Otaku Reviews

Military uniforms with capes look cool, you know…

46: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

I wonder if it’s a good idea to directly adapt Robot Detective.

47: Japan Otaku Reviews

The world may not know, but only a small part of Japan knows.

This fact

48: Japan Otaku Reviews

Looking back now, it seems that getting scolded by Tetsurou was because I chose someone strict even though my sensitivity around that area was lax.

49: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is Bio the weapon human thing?

Maybe

51: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

The concept of copying and being copied feels more like the culture of arcade games of that time rather than that of fighting games.

56: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>51

It was a world where they not only copied the design but even the contents of the circuit board…

At that time I was just a kid, so I didn’t know which one was a knockoff.

52: Japan Otaku Reviews

Well, I don’t think that a country is normal when sumo wrestlers put on face paint, wrap towels around themselves, and fight in the bathhouse.

53: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I recently learned that the “Fighting Style: Martial Arts,” which was common in the early days of fighting games, was first mentioned by Sensei Kajiwara Ikki.

As expected, Kaji-sensei is amazing… that’s how I felt.

59: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>53

Wow.

I thought it resembled Bruce Lee’s stance, but he himself refers to it as Chinese boxing or in movies.

54: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

It’s really amazing, isn’t it?

The reproduction level of Ri Retsuka is

58: Japan Otaku Reviews

Well, in the end, it’s just a stepping stone for Gouki, so it’s not a problem.

60: Japan Otaku Reviews

I have no idea where the inspiration for things like the double knee press came from at all.

The Psycho Crusher seems like it might have some original inspiration.

66: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>60

It was something that started to be said not back then, but after I became more enthusiastic about looking for the original inspirations of fighting games.

Wasn’t it said that it was the claws of a Huashan prison?

67: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>60

Mysterious Man Wu

Well, this probably seems to be inspired by a movie or something.

61: Japan Otaku Reviews

https://game.capcom.com/cfn/sfv/column/132581

It’s pretty clear that something like the nameless shura was specifically imagined, but I have no idea how it became a Spanish ninja. Isn’t that amazing?

I feel like I heard somewhere else that there were surplus martial arts and candidate countries.

62: Japan Otaku Reviews

No one makes fun of a big guy like Andre with messy hair anymore.

63: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t the title “Fatal Fury” a bit dangerous?

64: Japan Otaku Reviews

There was a certain openness in the town’s arcade where clearly a cabinet with MAME was placed in the corner.

65: Japan Otaku Reviews

Let’s add a ninja character to the fighting game → I understand.

Let’s make it a Spanish ninja → Why?

68: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s like Q becoming G is the same as K9999 becoming Nameless.

69: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

If we copy this, we’ll be happy, happy!

70: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

70: Japan Otaku Reviews

71: Japan Otaku Reviews

The name “Shaku-shi” and other technique names being kept as they are is prohibited by the rules, right?

80: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

>>71

The reason I can’t forgive shovel death is because of its technical performance.

Isn’t it cruel?

89: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>71

It turned out more like the original work than the One Piece game.

72: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

It sounds like a story from the past, but the gaming industry is still like that today, isn’t it?

77: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>72

Now, if someone points something out, I apologize and make corrections.

73: Japan Otaku Reviews

I still don’t understand why Luigi’s side smash became a butcher…

74: Japan Otaku Reviews

I was surprised to see Kato from the anime losing in such a way that he was completely scared of women.

75: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Teito Monogatari is like free material, isn’t it?

76: Japan Otaku Reviews

Ninja throwing techniques often end up being the Iizuna drop.

79: Japan Otaku Reviews

Ride the wave of the occult boom, like Monkey-sensei…

81: Japan Otaku Reviews

Since Li Liehuo became famous for this kind of original story, it’s been said too much.

I think other characters from Gekka are considered to be full of originality.

84: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

>>81

That’s really not possible.

However, Ri Retsuka is just too much as he is.

82: Japan Otaku Reviews

At the time, not knowing the original source, I was thinking, “Why does Vega have this expression?”

87: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>82

When I start to say “Why do you have such a face?”, it reminds me of the character selection in Real Bout: Garou Densetsu 2.

Everyone is looking unusually grumpy.

83: Japan Otaku Reviews

During the time when Hisasaki Shimada was playing the role of a man in “Teito Monogatari” in Norida.

85: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the past, SNK went so overboard that it even left some original fans astonished.

95: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>85

K9999 is way too something.

98: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>95

K9999 and Vega are at the same level…

100: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>98

Don’t underestimate K9999.

Not only are the techniques preserved as they are, but they are also beautifully incorporated into the fighting game.

I’ll even recreate the dialogue.

86: Japan Otaku Reviews

I often watch “Makai Tenshou” and “Teito Monogatari.”

92: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>86

That’s just how works that have a great influence on later creations are…

94: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>92

The works that have influenced others are often not read or seen themselves in later generations…

99: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>86

The image of the tragic beautiful boy Amakusa Shirou has been turned upside down.

88: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It’s amazing because it really conveys how much Li Lie Huo loves the quality of the victory motion.

90: Japan Otaku Reviews

I don’t think it was a story about a more carefree era or anything like that…

93: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

>>90

It was simply that there was a low awareness of rights…

91: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s precious that Capcom, which created games like Street Fighter and Sonic Boom, is making a JoJo fighting game.

The bond deepens.

96: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you get stolen from, you can steal back, but talking bad about the other person will only come back to you, so I can’t say anything.

97: Japan Otaku Reviews

Was Capcom angry with ADK?

101: Japan Otaku Reviews

I don’t really understand the culture of copying fighting game characters.

Is it not good to have original characters?

No, it’s an original.

104: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>101

I want to move that character~ is how I feel.

102: Japan Otaku Reviews

K9999, whose voice and movements perfectly embody Tetsuo to an impressive level, is more amazing than Vega, in my opinion.

103: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

It can be considered that K9999 is more straightforward than Foxy suddenly quoting lines from the Kingdom of Ambition.

105: Japan Otaku Reviews

The reproduction of K9999 is seriously amazing.

106: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t the situation with Tress more serious? Speaking of which, the gaming industry has been doing this kind of thing relatively often lately…

107: Japan Otaku Reviews

Where can I read “Rikiou”?

109: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>107

Search through the used items… like a dragon…

110: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

>>107

Book Off

120: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>110

What?

126: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>120

The original author is missing, so it can’t be published electronically or otherwise.

129: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>126

✡~~

108: Japan Otaku Reviews

Tetsuo is amazing because he not only completely plagiarizes but also takes entire lines.

111: Japan Otaku Reviews

At that time, fighting games had larger characters compared to other games and they moved well, so it was easy to understand their origins, which likely fostered a desire to control these characters yourself.

112: Japan Otaku Reviews

I never thought it would become a big title that has lasted for over 30 years.

113: Japan Otaku Reviews

There were not many high-quality official character games like this until now.

The demand to move that cool character or favorite one is strong for both the creators and the players.

114: Japan Otaku Reviews

K9999 is too much like Tetsuo, but I still don’t know where the essential part of using the drill as a weapon comes from.

115: Japan Otaku Reviews

Having a draft probably made it easier to visualize the movements, right?

I just put it out as it is.

116: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

K9999’s ridiculous audacity to retain its techniques and everything else, along with bringing back the original voice actor, is beyond the norm.

This is not what you would call a collaboration character.

Isn’t it amazing?

117: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The idea of reincarnation in the demon world has become so strong that it has reached a level of being its own genre, so it’s not often accused of being plagiarized.

Well, FGO, which closely resembled the movie version in terms of its scenario, certainly received a lot of criticism.

123: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>117

Even if I draw a manga with the same story, it wouldn’t compare, so I decided to create a different story that can be enjoyed regardless of the original.

Learn from Ken Ishikawa.

128: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>123

That person’s vibe is one of a kind…

118: Japan Otaku Reviews

The true dawn period is nothing you can do about, but I think it’s amazing that even when they start borrowing rights from elsewhere to make games, they are still essentially copying.

119: Japan Otaku Reviews

There are probably some that are so obscure that the original references are no longer recognizable.

121: Japan Otaku Reviews

It should be Jackie, but it’s said to be a copy of Uchiyan’s Honphu.

Well, it’s just like that…

127: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>121

I think that is Jackie + Tetsuya Takeda.

122: Japan Otaku Reviews

Conversely, while Giant Baba is at the level of free material in manga, there aren’t that many in fighting games.

Actually, I can’t think of anything…

125: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>122

The world of professional wrestling is inspired by Kinnikuman.

There is an impression that the character Kinnikuman has a basis in reality or originates from Ikki Kajiwara.

133: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>122

If it’s a horse motif, I want it to be a tall and slender giant.

If the body shapes are too different, it might be difficult in terms of processing and game balance.

124: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

By the way, I feel like Dr. Slump also had Godzilla and Ultraman in it; I wonder if they got permission for that?

130: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

I think Inoki is more of a free material than Baba.

Also Masutatsu Oyama.

131: Japan Otaku Reviews

Japanese wrestler characters are rare to begin with, aren’t they?

I feel like there was a destruction king somewhere.

134: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>131

The one that comes to mind in that context is Ramon…

132: Japan Otaku Reviews

Hehehehe

Hehehehe

Ah, hehe hehe… buh, suu.

135: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>132

White Swiss Shepherd Dog!

136: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s not a fighting game, but I think Mr. Baba was in God Hand.

I found out quite later that the zebra mask and tights are a reference to Tiger Mask.

137: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s not Vega!

This is Hisaku Shimada!

138: Japan Otaku Reviews

I was surprised that just because it was back then, I’m still getting really scolded in Bio and it turned into a lawsuit.

139: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I admired Kato Yasunori’s style and went to university in clothes like these for a while.

140: Japan Otaku Reviews

I miss the time when I was laughing out loud, clearly realizing that this character was like that!

141: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m looking for the final volume while going around Book Off, but I still can’t find it.

142: Japan Otaku Reviews

When it comes to throw characters in old fighting games, they are often inspired by foreign professional wrestlers.

There are no fighting game characters that are based on Baba or Inoki.

143: Japan Otaku Reviews

Dasha!

144: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s really prominent in Inoki’s wrestling manga, though.

147: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>144

Is Iron Kiba a 50/50 split between Inoki and Baba?

145: Japan Otaku Reviews

I have created a game of the All-Star dream match that you all would want to see!

In the 1980s, it was particularly a parody culture, so it was more appreciated when people understood the original references.

146: Japan Otaku Reviews

When thinking of famous Japanese athletes in martial arts, the first that comes to mind is

The journey of Faehis and Wahee.

149: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>146

Isn’t the motif YAWARA!?

151: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>146

As for YAWARA-chan,

148: Japan Otaku Reviews

The bison hairstyle is accurately captured by the author.

There is one where the protagonist is dressed as a bison in the cover illustration.

150: Japan Otaku Reviews

Was M. Tyson also communal property…?

152: Japan Otaku Reviews

152: Japan Otaku Reviews

Mysterious Chinese person, call me Bison and not Chao! This mini TAKAGI, what is this? It’s fast!! Den no saa!

153: Japan Otaku Reviews

When it comes to pro wrestling characters that quickly come to mind, King from Tekken is clearly based on Tiger Mask, but I wonder if Zangief has any original inspiration for his appearance?

154: Japan Otaku Reviews

Wasn’t that because they called me “Yawa-chan” just because I was strong, even though I didn’t resemble her at all?

155: Japan Otaku Reviews

Honda also has a direct counterpart in Nintendo’s arcade games.

156: Japan Otaku Reviews

There are many Bruce Lees, but I’ve only seen Jackie in Hungry Wolves: Hong Fu.

Also, the live-action version of the person.

157: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>156

Ray Wulong and so on.

162: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>157

Also, the virtual character Shun Di, who was taking motion captures on his own and had a crazy interview with the person himself.

158: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>156

The character Lei Wulong from Tekken should also be inspired by Jackie Chan.

159: Japan Otaku Reviews

Hong Kong movie stars are no longer free resources.

160: Japan Otaku Reviews

Most users are not original characters.

I’m looking for that kind of character that feels like ○○!

161: Japan Otaku Reviews

Honfu simply mashing up Jackie and a detective story really feels like the sensibility of SNK at that time.

163: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>161

YAWARA! It seems there is a sense of SNK in making a parody of her grandfather as well.

164: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s easier to get into something that feels like 〇〇, and even recently, you could say that Antonov from KOF14 is like Mr. Satan.

KOF14 isn’t that recent anymore.

165: Japan Otaku Reviews

The lineage of strong little old men outside of fighting games has unexpectedly come to an end.

It’s fine if it perishes.
