hansolo77 Posted February 2, 2017 Author Share Posted February 2, 2017 You voted, here it is! A game I've never heard of, but that doesn't mean it's not popular! While researching the game, I soon learned that it was actually a very popular game in the UK when it was released, and is one of the precursors to Street Fighter and many other games in the fighting genre. It was so popular that it was ported to lots of home consoles, and re-released in combo collections packs and even remastered for the Xbox360/etc. Hope you guys enjoy! Yie Ar Kung-Fu (イー・アル・カンフー Ī Aru Kanfū?) is a 1985 arcade fighting game developed and published by Konami. Along with 1984's Karate Champ, which influenced Yie-Ar Kung Fu, it is one of the games that established the basis for modern fighting games.[3] Yie Ar Kung-Fu (Chinese: 一二功夫; pinyin: yī èr gōngfū; literally: "One Two Kung Fu") features the protagonist Oolong (Chinese: 烏龍; pinyin: Wūlóng, Japanese: ウーロン Ūron; see oolong) (renamed Lee for the MSX and Famicom ports), controlled by the player. Oolong must fight all the martial arts masters given by the game (11 in the arcade version; five to 13 in the home ports) to win the title of "Grand Master" and honor the memory of his father. On his side is a variety of punch and kick blows reachable by combining the joystick with one of the buttons (punch or kick). He also has the greatest jumping ability of all the game's fighters, with the exception of "Blues". The player faces a variety of opponents, each with a unique appearance and fighting style.[4][5] The player can perform up to 16 different moves,[6] using a combination of buttons and joystick movements while standing, crouching or jumping.[7] Moves are thrown at high, middle, and low levels. Regardless of the move that defeated them, male characters (save Feedle) always fall unconscious lying on their backs with their legs apart (players flail their feet), and female characters always fall lying on their sides. Feedle disappears. There are only two female fighters, and the rest are male. When a player gains an extra life, the word "xiè xiè" (Mandarin for "thank you") is heard. - Quote from Wikipedia (link) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hansolo77 Posted February 4, 2017 Author Share Posted February 4, 2017 I played this a bit to get familiar with it in the hopes of posting a score this month. I suck once I hit the 2nd stage. Updated OP, DB, RSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patrickfx Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I will, soon. It was one of the game that I was looking for in arcade when I was young. But not enough money to play because it was too difficult in that moment. So, stage 4 is not too bad I suppose! Some tips to share Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtkiii Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Funny thing is....this is not the game I thought it was LOL Looks cool though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedDog Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 On 2/7/2017 at 9:19 PM, patrickfx said: Some tips to share The controls for this game are a bit different than other fighting games. You expect that in order to do a move you would press a button and joystick direction at the same time. Actually, you press a button and then a direction. Because of this scheme, you can press and hold a button and then move the joystick in different directions to chain moves together. Pressing the punch or kick button alone actually does nothing. The one thing the game lacks is the ability to defend, so the best way I have found to win is to string combo attacks that have similar ranges.

hansolo77 Posted February 10, 2017 Author Share Posted February 10, 2017 That's probably my problem with stage 2 and beyond. I didn't think to press the button first, I was doing it backwards. I'll definitely come back and try to post a score here soon on this. My server kinda went down and is taking priority at the moment. Thanks for the tip @RedDog!

Cynicaster Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 127,700 Never played this one before. Not a huge fan, to be honest. I can see how this would have a nostalgic appeal if I had played it in the 80s, but to me, the "one on one fighter" type game is defined by Street Fighter 2, Mortal Kombat, and Tekken. It's kind of hard to start with those games and then go back to this one and try to appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Score: 92,500 Stage: 4 Initials: HAN I got a 30k bonus for beating the first guy without getting hit (perfect). Not as good as Cyn though, but I'm happy with it (for now.....).

Me, I did arround that too after 10 games and realize my setting was not set for 1 play per game !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedDog Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Those are some pretty darn good scores. I may have to do a training montage just to hope to come close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I miss some sense in english So, there is my score tonigh. 130800 stage 9. I'm myself surprise, I start to play with 3 lifes for practice, then go back to 1 live and boom, no mistake until stage 9. But still bonus on 30,000 and 80,000 that's good. Is it me or I think there is a bonus live at 110,00 too (80k + 30k) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansolo77 Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 I suppose a bonus life at 110k is possible. I never made it that far to confirm. Nice entry there Pat.. will it be enough to hold the lead? We only have 1 more week to find out! Updated OP, DB, RSS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExedExes Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 OH HAI Who's this returning to GameEx? Why it's me, your old pal Exed. Apologies for not being here the past few months, so much has been going on and this month is the Yolympics competition in which I'm a team captain for the 2nd year in a row (and not doing all that great, really) But THIS game I couldn't pass up. I've played it on the Game Boy Advance (and the GBA version gives you 3 lives to start and a hidden third "history" after you complete the first two) Even with one life, it's still no problem (and extra lives become available later on) ExedExes - 258,900 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedDog Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Well, I went to the mountain seeking the great master and after a whole lotta training montages, this is the best I could do... 84,700 I've never gotten a score as high as Ex put up. Some people just have natural talent. I guess I will just have to settle for my good looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansolo77 Posted March 1, 2017 Author Share Posted March 1, 2017 It's the control scheme that blew it for me. It's hard to play when you're used to other fighting games requiring you to press the button AFTER you make your joystick move. This one is in reverse, so it threw me off. Your score was still pretty good considering. I'm coming into this game having never heard of it or played it. Meanwhile, our better scorers have some experience going into it. It's all good though, it's just for fun! Our February GOTM contest is now over, but you don't have to stop playing this game! We have our winner, but we look forward to receiving more submissions and the eventual dethroning! Join me in congratulating ExedExes in his supremacy!
