Mortal Kombat vs Street Fighter

Skabbius · December 31, 2005

Street Fighter II is an absolute classic. But I have to bring up how original the characters are.

Not to speak Kenshiro's teacher's name is RyuKen.

A link at the bottom also shows that FotnS was inspired by some american figures.

That's rather anecdotic, if you want to talk about a source of inspiration for Hokuto no Ken you'd be better off naming Mad Max.

There really is not that many similarities between Mad Max and Fist of the North Star. Sure it is post-apocalyptic, but the characters are not that similar. Mad Max had a lot of vehicles. FOTNS did not. Mad Max had no martial arts. FOTNS pretty revolved around it. There is no Street Fighter looking characters in Mad Max.

Boronson said that Mad Max inspired him. But I hardly think that he ripped off it like Capcom did with the characters from FOTNS.

That's some deep analysis. :carcus:

Seriously though, I can't comment on FOTNS as compared to Mad Max, but the above examples are pretty superficial. You can add, subtract, or change such elements from any story without altering it's core. What's been done with Shakespeare's work in film is probably the best example (albeit, not always with the best results =).

Tetsuo Hara & Buronson were inspired by Mad Max to make Hokuto no Ken as you said yourself (Max and Bruce Lee being the inspiration for Kenshiro), and it's not like the page in question shows a lot of similarities to anything either. You lose. :serpico:

What's the relation? :schierke:

And like I said, the pictures in that link and the possible relations are really anecdotic. I wasn't talking about the SF2 -> HnK thing (which isn't anything new) but the "Sloth from The Goonies and a couple of catchers inspired Hokuto no Ken" one. I just don't think these references with minor characters warrant any specific attention.

It's Buronson, and Hara was originally influenced by it too, he even based his first personal work on the movie (and called it "Mad Fighter").

I realize that most of Fist of the North star is not original. So basically I should say that Street Fighter II ripped-off a ripp-off manga series. :-/

But I also noticed that in the game, Final Fight, the main guy (forget his name) says the quote from fotns, "You are already Dead" when using his special technique. Famous quote to anyone who has seen the FOTNS movie.

Anyways basically anything martial art related has a Bruce Lee inspiration somewhere. SFII, Dead or Alive, FOTNS, etc... My point is not that FOTNS was original in any sense.

But anyways, this is getting away from the thread's original theme. I thought I would just post that link because I thought it would be fun.

Well I wouldn't go as far as to call Hokuto no Ken a rip-off manga, it just had its inspirations but I think it definitely developed into something unique and original for the time, that in turn inspired many other works. My point was really only about the 3 pictures in that link not being the best examples of its influences. :serpico:

Hehe, actually it's really impossible to count how many times that line has been used, as an homage or just because it's cool. Shows the impact that series had.

Yeah, it's cool don't worry, but let's end the off-topic as you suggested.

What happened to Ken? He didnt help? Sub Zero would have been a good fight against Ryu too :guts:

Would have made more sense than Gouki.

I would have rather seen Dudley come in, "Uppercut!" "Corkscrew Blow!" "Hmph, gutter trash."
