They're the midnight resistance, get it? Kind of like that song "Silent Running". I suppose it would have been clearer if they showed the words on a piece of paper or in quotes or something.doctorx0079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186345736950611814.post-79208537293860544382014-11-30T17:37:02.910-08:002014-11-30T17:37:02.910-08:00It took forever, but don't sweat it.

I actually thought these games were hilarious when I was a kid, even though they didn't play well at all.<br /><br />Tecmo Wrestling is still pretty well-regarded by wrestling fans, I think. It not only has nice presentation, but it had a very broad move selection compared to just about every wrestling game up to that time.Andynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186345736950611814.post-86381953081687420602014-11-24T18:58:12.371-08:002014-11-24T18:58:12.371-08:00Thank you very much!

His IMDb page also credits him with designing Kung Fu Master, the grandfather of all beat-em up brawlers, and with producing The King of Fighters - the first cross-over head to head fighting game. (Featuring an all star SNK cast taken from Fatal Fury, Art of Fighting, Athena, and Ikari Warriors. Even if they're D list stars, at best.)<br /><br />So, if anything, it's Capcom ripping his ideas off. Their biggest innovation in Street Fighter 2, the combo system, was purely a happy accident. <br /><br />But guess what? He got the last laugh - he's the executive producer of Street Fighter IV, the game which brought the 2d fighting game genre back into the mainstream. <br /><br />So, please give credit where credit is due. He may not be up there with Yu Suzuki or Miyamoto, but the fighting game genre wouldn't exist in any form we'd recognize without his contributions, however flawed they may have been.

There are a bunch of guys who took on the mantle and derivatives also started appearing like Tiger Dream (female Tiger Mask) and Black Tiger (evil Tiger Mask played by Rollerball Rocco and Eddie Guerrero).<br /><br />Also, his name in the Japanese version is Chris Hyper not Wariss Hyper. ワ is close to ク in the way it is written, but they are not the same. But the folks at HG101 are also wrong. Christ is キリスト in katakana, although I've heard folks use クリスト due to Christian being クリスチャン.Horgh666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186345736950611814.post-48259213509011692152014-11-19T17:04:17.309-08:002014-11-19T17:04:17.309-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03110812010337667387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186345736950611814.post-14852045581326148102014-11-19T17:02:14.676-08:002014-11-19T17:02:14.676-08:00Cameltry appears to be the inspiration for the Son...Cameltry appears to be the inspiration for the Sonic 1 bonus stages.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03110812010337667387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186345736950611814.post-43491564354698553502014-11-19T12:45:01.296-08:002014-11-19T12:45:01.296-08:00New Chrontendo?!
