View Full Version : Games that leeched off MK and SF2
What are some games that tried to emulate MK and SF2, but had no success? Right now I can only think of two.
BloodStrom looked cool. I don't know why it didn't make it. Maybe to violent.
Survival Arts looked cutting edge, but did not make it as well.
What others are there?

Tatoo Assassins, big time. LOL Well, that one didn't get very far, now did it?
Wasn't Time Killers a MK rip-off, in many ways? Just "amp up the gore, pls"

Tatoo Assasins never even came out. It's a beta in MAME, and damn stupid yet fun one as well.
Blood Storm was the sequel to Time Killers, wasn't it?

Yep. It was actually somewhat enjoyable, unlike its predecessor, but still rather... "cheesy", for lack of a better word, nonetheless. Still kinda fun... I actually used savestates to find all eight hidden Nekron agents one day. Must have been bored out of my skull. :/
In my opinion, Survival Arts takes the freaking biscuit for horrendous MK ripoffs. Play it for two seconds, that fact soon becomes apparent. :eek 2:

I second Primal Rage and you can add Killer Instinct to the list.

On the home console front you can add Weapon Lord. one of the deepest console fighters of it's time. Very few people mastered it, I know I never did.
Trivial fact: it was beta tested at arcades.

I still have a place in my heart for WeaponLord. It's got that medieval violence thing that attracts me. I still can't even pull off the fatality combos all of the time. Some of them are amazing and can end a fight pretty quickly. That and the difficulty/cheapness is why I don't play it much nowadays. :(
