Someone out there has been labbing Kung Fu Master Jackie Chan for years and is very upset they missed its biggest tournament of the millennium

[@tgo007]

I am a professional Kung Fu Master Jackie Chan player

[@CageVsCage]

Lol facts 😂🔥🔥

[@jcmsaucey6555]

@Cohen Lennox begone, bots

[@Spabobin]

I'm sad I didn't know about this, I would have loved to show off some cool stuff. If anyone wants to learn the game after seeing the tournament, check out the Mizuumi wiki for Jackie Chan

[@semja]

As a true Jackie Chan fan, don't know how I missed this one, but damn I loved me some Jackie Chan Stuntmaster.

[@SapoTranquilo]

Project A Jackie is so strong, he should be the next dbfz dlc character

[@usbdongaming]

I787y9uuiu7oi79 k9i9

[@kito861]

@@usbdongaming Haha yeah

[@deco7217]

He can't because in the dragon ball lore he is infinitely stronger than ui goku, and even zeno. As a result, having him in the game would lead to literally breaking dbfz.

[@toddwilliams486]

I dunno man, Lau looks pretty sick.

[@heroesthree2709]

Thanks for spotlighting Jackie Chan FoF! Jackie teamed with Kaneko while filming his racing movie, Thunderbolt in 1994, and in turn they made this game with him. You can see Jackie with a Kaneko racing patch on his outfit in the movie. Thorston is the villain from Thunderbolt. Sam Wong was a member of JC's stunt team, I think people will remember him fighting Jackie in Police Story 3 Supercop. Sam also plays the Mysterious Lion. Yeung is played by Yeung Ching-Ching, a Shaw Brothers actress that studied under the legend Lau Kar Leung.

[@deftmonk990]

My friend heard the commentary and said "what tournament u watching?" then came and saw this. I didnt know how to explain myself.

[@SoysauceML]

20:44 jmcrofts mashing the arcade stick screaming "kill him!" is something I'd never expect to see in my life.

[@CrowsofAcheron]

I wonder if any roommates/neighbors heard him.

[@ericjones9668]

I read this comment at the begging and waited for that exact moment😂😂😂😂😂 GLORIOUS!!

[@sherwinmolina2540]

The fact that chun li jackie chan is not in the game makes me sad

[@MakiMaki.]

I suppose that would have come with some copyright issues. xD

[@barbedwings]

Well, guess I should cancel that GG: -Strive- preorder. No need with a game this advanced.

[@mydemon]

I'm glad people are finally coming to their senses. Jackie Chan FTW!

[@raedien]

And once again, Jmcrofts serving up quality content simply unavailable anywhere else. The hype coverage is top notch as well. Incredible.

[@ArchaicEX]

The move at 1:41 where the fighter becomes the alphabet needs to be in more games.

[@JoaoLucasK]

It whiffed, unfortunately

[@kylewarne1265]

Someone needs to get some clips to Sajam for the next "Will it Kill?" This is some PREMIUM Kusoge damage!

[@travisteatime]

Maybe it's because I've been sleep-deprived for almost two days now but I am fairly convinced that this might be the most important video game in history.

[@merikijiya13]

This is extremely hype.

[@HYDEinallcaps]

did you sleep yet :(?

[@Acusumano25]

Bro i love when you have community tournaments for obscure games like this

[@imperfectlygreat9530]

The first time I ever learned of this game was from the Jaboody boys years ago, great goof game.

[@gpbear4]

same here, lol

[@khhnator]

this game is more hype than it has any right to be

[@hteekay]

It's a fun game if you're willing to give it a try

[@PersonaSama]

The heck, this was so hype! I was laughing so hard each time you nailed one of those 50%+ life throws with Kim-Marie. Love to see the mash-to-win mechanic, would hate to play it lol

[@XavierGarciaHerrera]

I'm not sure but that "lion" remind me of a jackie chan movie "First strike", there's a festival scene where he undercover with a dragon costume

[@Oros-LordofCinders]

Yeah that's definitely a Jackie

[@logasoba]

every character in this game is either jackie chan, was in a jackie chan movie, or was a part of jackie chans stunt team. for the true jackie chan fan.

[@JRDavis-sx4sp]

I love how they have to jump back to the middle of the screen to do their win pose if you're in the corner

[@DoofSenpai]

I remember playing this at my local bowling alley. Jackie's helicopter attack is by far the funniest thing I've ever seen in a fighting game haha.

[@Ostrid1]

Jms whole game plan is Grab KILL EM KILL EM MASHMASHMASHMASHMASH

[@attyrustico]

Oh! Thank you for doing this tournament! You brought me back to my childhood days wherein I see people play this but dont really know whats happening! LOL Now we are so advance into FGC jargon like OTG, punish, etc and the game makes more sense now! This is sooooo ahead of its time! 🙂 More fun tournaments like this PLEASE! more power to your channel!

[@brunomenezes1410]

this video was released at my birthday date, turned out it was somewhat a gift, what a fun video and cool tournament, never saw that game b4 and ur excitment when talking about the picks and plays was reaaally fun

[@GonzoDonzo]

Damn a jackie chan fighting game could be incredible. Would have to make a highly interactive environment to attempt to duplicate those crazy scenes from his movies

[@Jay9966]

Put the fight in a walmart and we've got a winner.

[@hexl5069]

Everyone else playing: *advanced tactics* Jm playing: *KILL EM*

[@JustOniWorks]

I can't believe I'm actually about to boot this game up for real. This looks absurdly fun.

[@theREALlouthelou]

Mysterious Lion is probably Jackie Chan from The Young Master. There is a Lion Dance scene with Jackie wearing the front half of that costume, seen here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJvHnmmdfp6mla8

[@curiousq14]

Came hear to say this. I was like I know that's him from one of his older movies lol

[@YouGuessIGuess]

I thought so too. One of my favorite early Jackie Chan movies! I love how he wins the last fight in that one.

[@DethMetalGuitars]

I randomly gave this a fair shake on my MAME cabinet like 2 days ago. This game is so much better than it has any right to be.

[@elizapipemaster4200]

FUCK YES! I just found out about this game a few weeks ago and I've been hooked on it since. Kusoge at it's finest! Thank you so much for having hosted this.

[@Raine_E_Daze]

from what I've gathered, mysterious lion is portrayed by the same actor who portrays sam in this game

[@kanekofruity9096]

Kaneko made this game! One of my favorite game devs of all time! They also made games such as Air Buster, DJ Boy, Gals Panic, and Great 1000 Miles Rally. I’m so glad that this game is getting more attention. Wish that Kaneko would make another fighting game like this.

[@adsilcott]

How is this so ridiculously entertaining?

[@kingdomcomesuperman3669]

I knew about the sprites from mugen but its hilarious to see the actual game now.

[@MrPlow-jc4cr]

Bring the people what they really want - SHREK SUPERSLAM TOURNAMENT!

[@thecarrot1409]

^^^^

[@vexsimp]

Man we need more tournaments of this game, it'a hella fun seeing these players fighting xD

[@eskeebangbang7110]

Thats Jackie chan in the mysterious dragon costume...in a old movie he was fighting while wearing the dragon head costume

[@differentculturessamenatur9439]

Greatest thing on FCG jackie tourney royal rumble style....thank u sir Win 10 matches or 1 still be champ 🏆

[@Luminousplayer]

this game is deceptively intense!

[@damianwarneke305]

I freaking love the mysterious lion. So silly but so cool.

[@CageVsCage]

Congrats to 404 and kim maree's grab is wayyy OP !! Lol 😂😂

[@eronrocha4423]

This was a sick tournament and the commentary was top notch Quality content

[@ShinRyojin]

Before I discovered about this game, a Mortal Kombat style game starring Jackie Chan was something that I drew in class in elementary school. Imagine my shock to find out something like this exists.

[@BellowDGaming]

Mysterious Lion is credited as Sam Hung. It's Samo Hung probably

[@jonatanp.1976]

Dong Dong Never Dies Tournament please

[@aspreedacore]

THIS SERIOUSLY

[@budgetcoinhunter]

@@aspreedacore I dunno. That game has literal infinites that even I can pull off.

[@aspreedacore]

@@budgetcoinhunter so does mvc3, mvc2 and now SF5 lol

[@budgetcoinhunter]

@@aspreedacore These are absolutely braindead though. Think projectile spam corner infinite.

[@aspreedacore]

@@budgetcoinhunter Cool, I want to see it, does the cult look alike preacher also have an infinite? I would like to see someone get BLESSED.

[@Cinturon22]

JM damn near breaking his stick in 2 when he lands one of them throws with Kim lmao

[@DoUbLeH9]

0:51 that throw along with the failed get up animation got me hysterically laughing for like 5 min.

[@bumblorsanchez8982]

This game is like if Tony Jaa decided to make a game where he was five out of the total 10 characters and they all knew Muaythai

[@Just.Kidding]

I think Lau is based on/played by Andy Lau, a member of Jackie Chan's stunt team who went on to become pretty successful in his own right. He most notably starred in House of Flying Daggers.

[@COPESLANDmovemaKER]

These guys make these game look too dang good

[@DwarlWarberry]

What a time to be alive.

[@ActionGamerAaron]

I love how this game is collapsing in on itself at all times with how much it's pushing the hardware and all the sprite glitches.

[@lallnutt11]

Project A Jackie was the last boss in the game. He is just better than everyone else by design.

[@SaigaTenshi]

I remember this game in the arcade in the mid 90s. This is one of those who have fatality

[@notyou6674]

the infamous grounded footsies jackie chans fists of fire is known for

[@HellecticMojo]

90% of the cast want no trouble.

[@robertmacdonald5496]

When's the Tuxedo Jackie, Rush Hour Jackie and Shanghai Noon Jackie DLC coming?

[@ToastyYokai]

It's in season 3 character pass coming out June 2021, its gna include Bloodsport and Karate Kid fighters

[@ssjgalexistheshibaeevee7662]

The way he says there we go! *BIG DAMAGE! B I G D A M A G E!* and his movement looks... yeeeeeeah

[@deejones8552]

The combos are pretty dope! First time hearing about this game

[@frostmourne1986]

Holy shit I remember playing this in arcades over 2 decades ago.

[@YouGuessIGuess]

NGL a lion dance character would actually be a really cool fighting game character.

[@jedgrahek1426]

I want to go back in time, and put it in arcades before MK1 came out lol. This game is hilarious and wonderful.

[@dawgtuna6621]

Those meters can give big advantages against people who suffer from epileptic seizures

[@jamman7344]

How can we forget something we never knew about or ever wanted to know about? Lmfao

[@Varshun]

If tournaments like this and the JMcup interest you join the jmcrofts discord!

[@JozefLucifugeKorzeniowski]

In the 1 player arcade mode of this game; is "Jackie Chan with a ladder" the kof style super difficult final boss? His instant death super could be "Jackie Chan on a hovercraft" and he comes from off screen standing on a hovercraft that just runs you over. If "rumble in the bronx Jackie Chan" was in this game his introduction is him kicking his disabled cousin out of his wheelchair and picking it up to beat your ass with it. That movie is great. Dude I want a sequel to this game so bad. I want it to have various Jackie chans like the first one but all the other characters are the side characters from his movies. We could have the drunken master guy with glasses who has that one strong leg he swings around like a chicken wing, we could have the drunken master evil Australian guy wrapped in a chain, the drunken master short old hermit man with the Bladed staff from the train platform, rumble in the Bronx gang leade who can zone you out by whipping glass bottles at you, rumble in the Bronx gang member holding trash bag containing lance after he was fed through the woodchipper and his normals are him hitting you with the bag of Lance, rumble in the Bronx mean white guy in the suit (his super is obviously feeding you through a woodchipper), The roster is endless.

[@g0ud77]

dude, the arcade i worked at tested this board. i loved it, but it was so obscure that were never really figured it out

[@christopherfiore960]

What glorious insanity is THIS!!!??? Bwahahhahah. Awesome.

[@trulytrue8008]

JMCrofts corner of the FGC is the funnest corner

[@henlix1]

Omg 😆 this is insane, best video ever commentary had me dead....BROKEN kids don’t know how good they got it 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@chrisdryer]

a local bar had this game and I would spend like $20 a day on it. Drunken Master was my favorite character.

[@BootySweat4491]

This was quite an experience... I now unironically like this game btw...

[@mrtspence]

Those Kim-Marie throw wins were so fraudulent lol

[@danlorett2184]

Mash like you got the palsy and they can HOLD that 60% dmg from one throw lmao

[@DozenMarks]

This actually looks like a ton of fun. Sad I completely missed out on it, lol.

[@Jack-ov4mb]

What an absolute nightmare this game must have been for arcade owners with all the mashing

[@PainfullyCasual]

This made me watch Project A movies again!

[@SharpsPanda]

@22:01 Is it just me or can anyone else see JM doing this dance IRL after beating someone?

[@kashantariq9987]

Do one on Hong Kong's 97. He's technically his cousin so I guess it should count?

[@Tokioka]

I'd love to see a community tournament for the fan made fighter Kinnikuman Muscle Fight.

[@ceytin]

this game actually looks really fun

[@natn41r]

holy. never seen this game before. it looks awesome.

[@zekekillah]

the lion is also jackie chan. he wears lion costumes like that in a few movies he is in

[@Peepohold]

These tournaments with obscure games are amazing, i i'd love to see akatsuki blitzkampf

[@calebsmythTV]

This game actually looks sick, cant wait to be on Fightcade

[@superyamchama5659]

No joke that Max meter is death for my eyes

[@SkeletorTclaws]

White jakie keeps yelling Donald duck

[@Sagaleon14]

bruh i love drunken master, i need to watch more jackie movies for real

[@EliTheGleason]

Yo Jackie chan animates super well nice key posing

[@jeffwong2002]

It’s not a bucket its a clay wine pot. China used to store rice wine in clay pots

[@emersonflorez97]

Fist of fire top tiers: Sam Drunken fist Chan Dragon style chan Thorsten Lau

[@reggieodexter]

I’d love to see you guys do Bloody Roar, if you haven’t already 😩🙏🏾

[@ellis7622]

that’s a great idea, hopefully he considers it

[@Sin606]

I watched this on my TV, Jackie Chan can't be killed, but M.Lion is also Jackie...why?

[@stockicide]

I knew this would be funny, but I didn't realize it would be so intense! "Kill 'em!"

[@FujiBou]

i need this game in my life holy shit

[@TheTopnotch01]

Team rocket blasting off again comment floored me 😂

[@qmachado6555]

That was a cool video, I remember you guys playing this on the show.

[@mytzyxptlyx]

I think its "The Young Master" where Jackie is the lion.

[@ChronoX23X]

I really love this mans commentary

[@dls1960]

I demand a rollback rerelease if this game one EVERY platform with crossplay
