Was there another Amiga fighter that looked like that? It looks familiar, but I'm sure I've never played that one.
Maybe you're thinking of Yie Ar Kung Fu. That Team17 game is a pretty obvious clone of that game.

Let's not forget Golden Axe: The Duel.
On second thought, let's forget it.
How is it?
passable?
Some of the worst: Dragon The Bruce Lee Story (multiple platforms)
The Double Dragon 1VS1 beat'em up
Fightin' Spirits
Italian pride.Iirc the main problem with Amiga fighting games was the standard joystick only having one button. There were 2 button joysticks and pads, but not everyone had them, so developers had to work with that absurd limit.
Another obscure fighter from the 90s was Shadow Fighter:
it's the first game I can remember made 100% in Italy (by a team of... 3 guys) that was actually published by an international company (Gremlin Interactive), and it was also pretty good.
Oh yeah still unbelievable Sega never ported that game or included it in a compilation.It's unremarkable but not broken or anything. Like I said, a lot of people were very upset because they were hoping for a port of revenge of death adder instead.
Italian pride.
I think the first italian-made game published by an international company is Super Loopz, released in japan by Imagineer for the Super Famicom which was coded by Grafitti who would later rename itself in Milestone (Screamer, Super Bike and now WRC).

Same for The outfoxies by Namco.
Martial Masters is a good one.
super dragon ball z
heheh
oh god I remember this
there's a female character with weird arm animation
Martial Masters is a good one.
OK, Korean fighting game Dragon Master takes the cake for most blatant SF2 rip-off.

I played the hell out of this when I was a kid:
Well, until I bought Super Street Fighter II
Yeah, you are right.Heh, gameplay-Wise, MK2 was excellent.
Not a fighting game, but First Samurai IIRC was made by an Italian, it's one of my favorite games ever.Italian pride.

Breakers Revenge was so awesome
The truth.
Some of the worst: Dragon The Bruce Lee Story (multiple platforms), Twin Goddesses (Playstation), Battle Monsters (Saturn), Survival Arts (arcade), and the unreleased Tattoo Assassins (arcade).

Absolutely loved everything about this game. The characters were so well developed and well differentiated from one another. The art style was also awesome.
Raffaele Cecco is actually british (althought with a very clear italian origin).Not a fighting game, but First Samurai IIRC was made by an Italian, it's one of my favorite games ever.
Speaking of SF2 clones, Kabuki Ittoryoudan is a pretty good one although not much balanced.
It sports some of the best animation on PC Engine (in fact the Arcade Card was required).
Sàmban;118312388 said:This. Breakers Revenge shits on street fighter from great heights. YES INCLUDING THIRD STRIKE AND SF4 ver. whatever.
Come at me fighting GAF.
There's others worth mentioning. Monster Maulers (which seems to have been the inspiration for Warzard/Red Earth),

Seriously, Dragon Master is utter shit. And all the characters are badly edited Street Fighter II characters. Everyone shares Chun-li, Ryu, and Guile's sprites, I shit you not.
We can really organize these games into two types of categories. We had outright clones of Street Fighter II, that simply tried to cash in on the popularity of SFII, without any effort to blasphemous levels like whomever over in Korea made Dragon Warrior, are didn't even use their own assets. Then we had companies that were pretty much on the same path as Capcom, and had stuff that was setting their own trail, adding new stuff to the formula and were of decent to outstanding quality, like SNK and Fatal Fury, Art of Fighting, etc.
One of my favorite secret gems was Galaxy Fight: Universal Warriors from Sunsoft.

My waifu.
My favorite character is in the sega cd version, the senator. I loved his "CITIZEN" taunt and his stage was awesome, as was the stage fatality (where you were impaled on the washington monument due to an exploding manhole sending you in the air).
And he threw red tape at people.
I loved them all at the time which is strange because I have very little interest in fighting games today. They feel like they belonged to the arcade generation. I don't get enjoyment out of them unless I'm playing someone in person.
That said, I think World Heroes was probably the best clone. I was really happy when it came out on the SNES.
Looking at that picture makes me laugh how much of a copycat the game ended up being.
Ryu - Fei Long - Dhalsim - Bison - Vega - Chun Li - Blanka
Ken - Honda - Cammy - Zangief - ??? - Sagat - Balrog
Most people probably already heard of the more infamous ones like Kasumi Ninja and Tattoo Assassins. But recently I was also introduced to a more obscure one called Survival Arts

If you think EC aged well, definitely check out it's much improved sequel on the Sega CD. It's to EC, what Super Street Fighter 2 was to SF2. So many more moves, fatalities, combos, and characters. Like 34 characters in the game. Really good for the time.
Ultimate Body Blows was great too, combing both games However it was only on the CD32 and DOS, so it's remembered less.
EDIT: Just reminded me of Team 17's first fighting game though... It wasn't great
