Anyway, these games, among others, pay tribute to the two heroes we've seen these past two weeks. I took a look around and found two videos that show it off a bit.
This first video's all about Marshall Law, which is a thinly veiled attempt to NOT say Bruce Lee. If you watch even for a minute you'll get the idea. The fluid movement, costumes, and the characteristic cry all match up with the Bruce Lee we've been talking about. This one even conveniently has film clips showing how some of his moves (specifically grabs), have some of the exact same animations of some of the movies.
This one is a little less blatant than the Bruce Lee tribute, and doesn't have any film clips to back it up, but the kung fu, specifically that of the Drunken Master style of the character Lei Wu-long has been attributed to Jackie Chan. He stumbles, he humiliates his opponent, and he's more of an acrobat than his counterpart.
These certainly aren't the only fighters who have characters made as tribute to them, not even is this the only game to have done so (Lee supposedly has around 4-5 characters in different series). In any case, I thought this might be interested in anyone concerned with gaming culture, especially considering the prevalence and popularity of fighting games in Japan, particularly in arcades. Oh, and of course, all credit from the videos to the creators- I'm not nearly that good at those games.
