History VideoGame / TheMastersFighter

Developed for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation by UNICO (Known later as Uniana, and better known for ''VideoGame/DragonMaster'' in 1994), and published in 1997 by Cinema Supply, little is known about ''The Masters Fighter'' (sic), except maybe, that it is considered one of the worst, if not the worst, FightingGame of all time... that's right! A game even worse than ''VideoGame/ShaqFu'' or ''VideoGame/RiseOfTheRobots'', due mainly to HitboxDissonance, poor graphics, near non-existent music, and the fact that the characters seem to have been plagiarized from characters in other games.

%% * BruceLeeClone: Long-Way.

%% * OldMaster: Kang Te Kong.

%% * {{Samurai}}: Sakamoto, "based" on UsefulNotes/YagyuJubei

%% * ActionGirl: J and Mishell.

* MsFanservice[=/=]ShesGotLegs: Considering she's a blatant copy of [[VideoGame/FatalFury Mai Shirauni]], J certainly qualifies.

* ActionGirl: J and Mishell.

* BaldOfAwesome: Azarl, Bill and Kang have no hair on their heads.

* {{Samurai}}: Sakamoto, "based" on UsefulNotes/YagyuJubei
* ScaryBlackMan: Gamp.

* WolverineClaws: T-660 has them.

** Some other locations are more or less plausible: for example, for Sakamoto's battle, the map points a location in Europe; in-game it takes place is some sort of Japanese dojo, although to be fair, there are dojos all over the world whih teach Asian martial arts.

* CaptainErsatz: With the possible exception of Gamp, the characters' designs are plagiarized from sprites of other games, some of them are even fusions of two characters.

* CarryABigStick: Sakamoto uses something in battle... A stick? A pipe?

** Kain is like an old version of Geese Howard, following his appearance in the second ''VideoGame/ArtOfFighting'',

** T-660, the FinalBoss, looks suspiciously similar to Choi Bounge from ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters.

** Kang seems to be [[VideoGame/ArtOfFighting Lee Pai Long]], with [[HeadSwap the head of]] [[VideoGame/FatalFury Tung Fu Rue]].
** Long-Way, the local BruceLeeClone, seems to be Dragon from the ''VideoGame/WorldHeroes'' series, with [[HeadSwap the head of]] [[VideoGame/StreetFighterII Fei-Long]].

* OldMaster: Kang.

* WolverineClaws: T-660 has them.

Gameplay-wise it is very similar to ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters'', as it uses four buttons (two punches and two kicks), and other buttons do nothing. You can choose among eleven "original" characters, each with their own movesets. The game has three modes: Story Mode, where you compete against all the characters till you get to a final boss, Two Player Mode, to play with a friend, and Watch Mode, to see the CPU fighting itself (Sadly the matches are decided randomly, so it doesn't make difference from watching the demo).

* BadassInANiceSuit: Kain, who seems to be copied from Young Geese in the second ''VideoGame/ArtOfFighting''.
