Akira Toriyama's original manga is combined with Dragon Ball Z, ensuring post's volume isn't just loud, it's over 9000.
Characters
Blue Mary (debuted in Fatal Fury 3: Road to the Final Victory) vs Android 18
Cloud Strife (Final Fantasy VII) vs Goku (Super Saiyan)
Sonic (Sonic X) vs Vegeta
Bit of a stretch I know, but if it wasn't for eye-piece...
Master Roshi
Metal Slug
If random prisoner is given the opportunity to climb background (in this case lamppost), fall is broken by comically flapping arms.
Choi Bounge (The King of Fighters series) vs Fedora
It appears there's more to Freddy Krueger than meets the glove.
But SNK were just warming up.
HA HA HA!
Tung Fu Rue (Fatal Fury)
Like Street Fighter, original played appallingly.
In fact, shit didn't really click until Real Bout.
Anyway, I digress.
Monster vs Max Power
In glorious colour.
For shits and giggles, this was duplicated in The King of Fighters XI.
And most infamous of all.
Despite this incredible act of plagiarism, transformation appears regularly.
Fists and Feet
Vegito is the result of fusion between Goku and Vegeta via the Potara Earrings.
E. Honda and Chun-Li (SF II)
Also, Fist of the North Star?
Probably.
Unofficial cameos
Street Fighter III
New Generation The Glade of Ninjas has a few recruits, and one of those is Genda (posing as Krillin). |
2nd Impact - Giant Attack Reworked stage features anonymous dude, who could easily be mistaken for Roshi. |
Super Saiyan
Minato in Jinchūriki form (Naruto)
Billy charged (Double Dragon 1995) |
Shadow Andy (Real Bout Fatal Fury Special) |
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (Mega Drive)
Once the seven Chaos Emeralds are found, cheeky chappie can become Super Sonic, temporarily granting extra speed and invincibility. |
Wait a minute, there are seven Dragon Balls.
Holy SHIT!
It's worth remembering that feat couldn't be achieved in the slightly different Master System/Game Gear originals.
Why?
There's only six.
Here's how he looks during first season's final episode of Sonic X.
Birth! Super Sonic |
Concluding with a nuclear bang.
Kamehameha
Take it away Goku.
Remember when Ryu had red hair?
No?
Let me refresh your memory.
Takashi Nishiyama (who co-founded Dimps in 2000), claimed the Hadouken was inspired by 70's anime Space Battleship Yamato.
Titular flying fortress fires laser missile weapon Hadouho, or Wave Motion Gun. |
I buy name, but hands?
Not convinced.
In 1988, Taito released obscure scrolling brawler Kuri Kinton, whose protagonist is capable of unleashing a similar projectile.
Street Fighter II: The World Warrior (1991)
Akira 'Nin-Nin' Nishitani and Akira Yasuda designed one of the greatest sequels of all time.
Ryu/Ken's signature move included a new pair of hands. |
Beyond iconic.
Super SF II: The New Challengers
As much as we loved watching Scott knocking Max the fuck out, intro received a welcome makeover.
Immediately comparable to:
Father and Son |
With so many variations to choose from, I've settled on two panels to base final flourish around.
Kamehameha (left) and The Super Kamehameha (right)
The following may well be innocent, but then again, that's like saying Boo Boo never took a dump in Jellystone Park.
Enjoy guys.
