Fighter's History vs. Street Fighter II Character Comparison - Lawsuit Exhibit Video
This video comes from a VHS tape original given to DieHard GameFan Magazine by Data East as media outreach regarding the 1994 lawsuit Capcom U.S.A. Inc. v. Data East Corp. In this first tape of evidence, a representative from Data East compares seven characters from Fighter's History to ones that Capcom says Data East infringed upon from Street Fighter II.
Video captured from VHS by mollipen. At some point, I found the video interesting, took it home, and had it in storage until I just recently found it again.

    I didn't know it was legally a problem to make character art and games that were similar to other games. I thought it was only a problem if you used their code and artwork. There were hundreds of one on one fighters that were all similar in many ways. It simply isn't possible to avoid similarities. It's like how car companies can't avoiding making vehicles with 4 wheels and seats.

    Matlok sure does have similar attacks tho. I never played Fighter’s History but saw it in the arcade in Ann Arbor in 1993. I was always a Street Fighter 2 junkie. Man I miss those days. I was in college at U of Michigan and arcades were still huge then

    Back in the 90s, Karnovs Revenge was a pretty good competitor! I played it heaps and enjoyed it but it paled in comparison to SFII. I only ever saw Fighters History on MAME in the 2000s. Never played it on arcade.

    I ain't gonna lie. I find that their is a character that resembles exactly the same amount and resemblances kind of makes me think. Someone was very influenced. Whether you change the name or outfits. The algorithms are all the same. A sonic boom and the zangief slam, and worst. The same exact throw, but just adding to it. I get it though. There's always a fine line for artist to be influenced. But just lay homage. It ain't that hard. But the Japanese have too much pride. For example the Pokémon law suit today. Crazy

    Did you notice the joysticks on both consoles? they are identical! As well as fighters history has a TV screen & three pronged AC DC outlet cord just like Street Fighter, not to mention they both use RBG color palettes, the plagiarism is astonishing.

  • @MB-jn5zi

    So basically they ripped off the character, changed it as much as possible and kept almost identical special moves

    • @burnaccount0019
      @burnaccount0019 День тому

      I don't think they even changed the character's appearances that much. They basically went: "Where's this character from, Japan?" ... "Okay, we'll say ours is from China.," etc. 🤣

    "Despite being almost identical, they are not the same." The judge who agreed to that never played 1 minute of video games. The fact that she convinced him makes her the greatest lawyer of all time.

    Round 1 FIGHT!! 😄 They tweaked it juuust enough to get away with it and make capcom fume. They have nothing on Jean Pierre and Fei Lin. I don't recall seeing this game in any of my childhood arcades. I remember them for their racers and beat em ups. Despite being a partial SF clone, it doesnt look like too bad a game. I might have put in a couple quarters back then, just to try it out.

    I'm going to make a Burgertime clone but give Chef Pepper a beret and call him Chef Pierre. See, Your Honor, they're completely different because Pierre is French.

  • @pigs18
    @pigs18 3 дні тому

    Yes, they're totally different. When Samche performs a flying knee strike that supernaturally carries him three times his body width, he yells out the appropriate name for a Muay Thai knee strike while Sagat yells out an entirely different phrase. See? Nothing alike. (Both characters then throw the same fireball, a traditional Muay Thai offense.)
