OSU!!!

Welcome fighters! It is time to prove your martial art skills and determine who is the most skilled fighter.

In order to settle this matter, our fighters will assume the role of Oolong and will have to battle difficult enemies in a classic game that sadly only saw a NES release in Japan, Yie Ar Kung Fu!

The rules are as follow:

  • Pick level 2
  • Play till you die your first time or reach stage 16 (Wang at grey background)
  • If you are playing in revision 1.2, you are not allowed to freeze the opponents with repeated air kicks
  • You must beat Tao and Lang (stages 2, 4, 7, 9, 12 and 14) within one minute time at each time. If you can't beat him within one minute time, your run is over. Pause and take your picture.
  • Pause your game after you respawn if you die or at the start of the fight at stage 16 and take your picture.
  • Highest score wins
  • Genre: Beat em Up

@Bearcat-Dougneeds a 5th place finish to secure the Beat em up championship, for he leads the scoreboard with 22 points over @PII's 14. @NESfiendis 3rd place with 13 points and has no shoot at the title unless @Bearcat-Doug doesn't post a score.

The contest ends Sunday, 09/24/23 at 11 PM VGS time.  Your user name MUST be written or typed on a piece of paper and be in the picture for your score to be valid.  The entire TV screen, or computer monitor if you are playing on an emulator, MUST be in the picture for the score to be valid.  No partial screenshots will be considered or accepted.  No screenshots by hitting "print screen" on a computer will be allowed.  You must take a picture of your computer monitor.  There may be instances where this will be acceptable, but it will be at the discretion of myself and the contest organizers.  Also, the use of turbo controllers is forbidden, as well as any cheat codes, Game Genies, slow motion functions, or save states if playing on an emulator.  Also, we will only be using NTSC systems for the contests.  The use of PAL systems will NOT be allowed.  Good luck everyone and have fun.

I recommend banning revision 1.2 if that is feasible. But it would mean people playing on flash carts would have to make sure they have a later revision ROM.

 

How do you tell the difference? Mine said 1.4 when I downloaded it, but I didn't even know there were different versions.

Someone may have a cart with it, sadly, so outright banning it would be a problem. I put in a ruleset to try to disallow that glitch.
If that makes rev 1.2 players to have a disadvantage for not being able to use the flying kick, then so be it.

Luckily, I only need to finish 5th. Me, You and @mbd39 might be the only ones that want to play this thing. 😂

That would not surprise me all things considered.  It's too bad I didn't have time to play on Renegade week.  I love learning about Famicom games though.  And how often do you get to play a Fighting Game on the NES?

We have played Best of the Best and Karate Champ before. This is just as bad as those, but at least it's a little faster paced. Maybe next year we'll get to play Urban Champion!

I'll probably do my three loops later and just hope that five other people don't beat me.

What a piece of crap.

EDIT: I've played this before and I didn't remember it being this bad.

I used to play the arcade game every day as a kid and I had the GBA Konami Arcade Classics version years later, but this is awful. It makes Urban Champion look like Street Fighter II.
