Honoring Street Fighter 4, I bring you a series of
epic battles from past Capcom titles and other games
influenced by Street Fighter.
This is "Ranma 1/2: Hard Battle" (1992, NCS/Shogakukan)
for the SNES, an anime-based fighter.
I remember watching a few episodes of
Ranma 1/2 in the 90s and it was a bizarre
concept to say the least. A martial arts male
teenager and his father fall into magical water,
turning them into a female and a panda.
This means "Hard Battle" had the
original panda fighting machine, "Genma"!
(sorry, Panda of 'Tekken' fame). It was
probably also the first fighting game to feature
an ass kicking tranny-like intergender character.
