Street Fighter 3: New Generation was released in 1997, Double Impact came out with in a year, and Third Strike in 1999. Martial Masters was released in 2001. Even if it's an accomplishment in terms of sprite animation, and a solid release for a smaller developer... Martial Masters still comes across a lot like what it is: a Chinese knock-off. The gameplay doesn't hold up.
@MrVariant10 ай бұрын
@wolfumz it's not that bad let alone 3rd strike nerfed Sean with that slow tackle lol. Nice soundtrack though. I'll play either one over sf6 with that tedious custom character mode. Appreciate both martial masters and sf3 are bundled in collections for less too, as well as capcom fighting collection/arcade stadium 1 and 2.

@@123TauruZ321 I can point out at least of dozen games on steam that have pixel graphics as well. Are they copies of street figher 2? None of those backgrounds are in SF 2 or 3. The character themselves have animations that arent found in SF. All the fighting games back from this time had the same pixel graphics which didnt have any real noticeable improvement until, at the least, Xmen vs Street Fighter...Is Samurai Showdown a copy of SF 2 as well ? Dark Stalkers lol? Now when Marvel Heroes and later Marvel vs Capcom the graphics were considerably better because they had to contend with MK and Killer Instinct.
