Fighter's History Dynamite

Introduction

Fighter's History Dynamite (also known as Karnov's Revenge) is a fighting game created by the now-defunct company Data East and released in March 1994. It is the sequel to the infamous Fighter's History, which drew the legal wrath of Capcom during the mid-90s because of it's blatant rip-off design.

While the original game was made on Data East's own arcade system, the sequel was released for the Neo Geo with several improvements. Aside of new backgrounds and music the engine was re-tweaked so it became more combo-friendly and controls became more sleek. All nine characters return from the original game, while also making two bosses playable and introducing two newcomers. Although the game never achieved mainstream success, it maintains the cult status following to this day.

The Characters

Fighter's History Dynamite provides a choice of 13 characters. 9 of them are the returning cast from the infamous original Fighter's History, that is known for it's blatant poor-developed rip-off characters from Street Fighter II (well, not all but most of them). Those are Ray, wandering American brawler; Feilin, Chinese actress; Ryoko, 17 year-old judo prodigy; Matlok, British punker; Samchay, Mui-Thai boxer from Thailand; Lee, Chinese Bājíquán specialist; Mizoguchi, high-school dropout who practicing Jissen Karate;Jean, French professional gymnast; and Marstorius, pro wrestler from Italy. Other 2 characters are Clown, a circus acrobat; and Karnov, the almighty fighter from Russia and the host of the "Great Grapple" tournament. They are returning bosses from the previous game, this time they're became playable. And final 2 characters are the newcomers - Yungmie, Korean Taekwondo master; and Zazie, the man from African Nature Protection Society who practices Karate. These two are at least a step forward in design, thus ended up to be more original characters.

All in all, the cast got some variety and can be entertaining, if you combine characters' new moves, overhauled engine and many janks with crazy stuff that was brought with it.
