Martial Masters was an arcade game released on Taiwanese arcade hardware called the PolyGame Master, which was by all accounts basically a Neo Geo knock off. I can't speak for many of the other games made for the thing but this game was pretty rad if you like 2d fighters.

It's got some pretty impressive sprite work and takes a lot of influence from Kung Fu movies.

[Anonymous No.9603746]

Never really got any home ports.

I thought it was pretty neat anyways

SF3 rip off but broken

These have that annoying "bouncy" idle motion that is so common in contemporary independent games.

never even heard of this, but the graphics are awesome.

It's closer to the CPS3.

Crane is a partial traceover of Chun-li from 3S but with quite a lot of editing.

It's a 16-bit 68000 based arcade board like the Neo Geo. It's more powerful than the NG but not at the level of a CPSIII

game is pretty cool but has massive input delay, feels really unresponsive.

[Anonymous No.9604192]

Every character in this game is traced from somewhere. They were just better at hiding it.

>>9604162
Are you sure? Isn't it your emulator / monitor / input device?

[Anonymous No.9604362]

>>9604275
no its mentioned someplace in a wiki too, and other games don't really have that, and by unresponsive i meant compared to other arcade games, but there is another game by pgm too called spectral vs generation and it feels fine.

Actually ran into this cabinet in the wild back in the day at the Jai Alai building in Dania Beach

[Anonymous No.9605052]

>>9604275
There's definitely some input lag in this game.

[Anonymous No.9605125]

>>9604070
That's why I said "closer"

[Anonymous No.9605128]

I saw one in a cinema arcade in the midwest USA.

THE king of obscure mostly forgotten but slightly decent if you have nothing else to play Taiwanese 2D fighters

Has anyone ever made a 2D fighter with just former world leaders before? Like Hitler vs Stalin would be cool, or Teddy Roosevelt vs Churchill. Or even Gandhi vs Mother Theresa(I know they’re not former world leaders but you get the idea) Lincoln vs Genghis Kahn…

Samurai Shodown VI had Andrew, who is vaguely based on Andrew Jackson, but generally no. Everyone's still kind of waiting for KT to make some kind of Revolutionary War Musou game I think

[Anonymous No.9611815]

It would help if I attached a pic I suppose
