- Today I'm overanalyzing "Knock-off, The Battle for imagination": An indie fighting game in development, inspired by 80's and 90's TV shows, Action figures and other toys, full of easter eggs and references.
Remember those good old times in childhood when we made our Action figures beat each-other while some crazy epic fight was happening inside our heads? Well, the guys that are making this game sure do. This game looks like a gold mine of Easter eggs, secrets and references to shows like He-Man, Conan The Barbarian, Teenage Ninja Mutant Turtles, Mazinger Z, Gundam, Berserk and more!

Disclaimer: I'm not getting anything from the devs to talk about this game, I just thought it looked cool and gave the demo a try :D

Thank you random Brazilian that appeared in my recommendations, this game looks amazing but is a shame that impossible to raise that amount of money in just 19 days
@@bentormenta6345 Thank you very much! Indeed it looks amazing :D but yeah, you're right tho, at this rate it will be very hard to reach it :/ I don't know if Kickstarter lets you extent the period but I hope they do something like that
Best random video I've clicked on in some time! Thanks man
@@otakubell5752 Thank you so much!! 🙏 I'm glad you liked it :D
I like the concept of having them based off knock off action figures 😁. This looks interesting. Hope they get knock off transformers too, 😂 oh maybe the biker look is also a play of biker mice from mars.
You're most probably right, I didn't know biker mice from mars, but their logo is VERY similar to Barracuda's. Thanks for the insight!
Never heard about this game. This looks awesome. Cant wait to play it
Yeah it sure do!
Fiquei bem feliz quando vi o Mazinger representando o Great naquela linha do Shogun Warriors que teve nos EUA.
Belo vídeo!
Valeu! :D Tá na hora de lançarem mais coisa de Mazinger né, depois do sucesso do Devilman Crybaby o mundo precisa conhecer mais do Go Nagai :D
Fun fact: development for this game began in 1987
say WHAAAAT?
Huhjhhhhh
hahahahaha!! I got it!!
just came to say the show the street shark is from in the game is a parody of Biker Mice from Mars.
Oh yeah you're right :D I totally missed that reference 😅 Thanks for the isnsight!
Thought the plane assist was a nod to Voltron III (aka "vehicle Voltron"). Specifically to the Falcon VT Fighter.
Ohhh you're right! It's similar in looks and thematically! I think you're onto something 😯
4:21 Thats a Diablo Cojuelo mask. This particular design is a mask used in the carnival celebrations in the dominican republic
Totally need to get this in front of members of the FGC community on RUclips like Maximillian DooD and others.
Rooflemonger made a video about it but yeah, Maximillian would skyrocket this game
This is exactly what my childhood toy fights went in ny mind
Thanks for highlighting these great Dominican talent
This is incredible! I'm always saying ... why can't a game be creative instead of just gross, or violent, or using occult references to do magic junk. I'm a huge fan of this. fantastic.
This is the type of game concept I like. Stop chasing top graphics and do something creative with what you already know. This one looks great and has a lot of potential with so many good ideas.
Totally! also there's so many things you can do with shaders in the graphics front, like look what ArcSys did and basically revolutionized anime-style 3d graphics
Rayzenger also has a lot of references to Getter Robo: the first combining mecha anime, which was made by Ken Ishikawa: a guy who worked for Mazinger's creator Go Nagai. So its assist is likely a reference to Michiru Saotome's anime-exclusive support unit.
Thank you for adding a ton of info! I didn't know Getter Robo, I can see clearly the Go Nagai influences in Ishikawa's work, the mechs looks amazing . Also you may be right cause even the collor palette of Rayzenger's assist is similar to Saotome's unit from what I saw here. Thank you for the comment!
@@KiaiStudio No problem. I'd reccommend watching Cheese GX's video on the franchise if you want to get into it.
@@Hawkatana Ok I'll definitely check it out. Thanks for recommending it :D
Que narração incrivel, compatriota!!
@@magofogo Muito obrigado compatriota! bem legal ver mais fighting games sendo criados na américa latina :D
Wolfgang's snake special is might be a reference to the SNES version of TMNT Tournament Fighters, where Donatello's Ultimate move was throwing a giant flaming dragon at people.
Looking amazing so far!
It does!
The robot guy looks like Megaman's super in Marvel Vs Capcom. Which is also a reference to Mazinger and Tatsunoko stuff and other mecha anime.
You're right! they also confirmed this recently in a post. I didn't play much MvC so I missed that 😅 Thanks for the input!
Kronan Super Move clearly a reference to Thor Super Move in Marvel v Capcom 3 & Infinite
Ohh I see! It sure do looks like it. Thanks for the insight :D
Oh that's super fun!
it sure is :D
I think the main references that were missed were from the bios, where Wolfgang's brothers are named Bach and Ludwig, and
LockJaw despite being a Street Shark, is pulling triple duty as a Biker Mice from Mars reference because he's from Biker Barracuda from the Bermuda and a Battletoads because they were human stuntmen who turned into the sharks and are named Lockjaw, Wrecker and Blitz which brings Rash, Pimple and Zitz to mind.
Was just gonna bring up Biker Mice from Mars.
Damn, nice input bro! I didn't know Biker Mice from Mars but you're right and the Biker Barracuda's logo confirms it as a direct Biker Mice reference :D
Anyone else wonder how the female character(s) will look like?
I'm hoping in something that looks like Cheetara and/or Blackarachnia.
They mentioned they are inspired by "Jem" (the tv show and doll toy) so expect a character following that line. But now that you mentioned Cheetara, that would be way cooler, hope they add someone like her :)
Rayzenger has Tetsujin 28-go ("Homem de aço" in Brazil, if I'm not mistaken) influences too.
Hope this comes out, the longtime Power Rangers fan in me wants to main the mech.
That would be cool! they can do a lot of fun stuff with the concept of combining the mech parts
@@KiaiStudio Like ROJAK from Gigabash being a combination of mechs front different Sentai teams, and the main gimmick being needing to properly sync the pilots as a cohesive unit.
Cuánto tiempo pidiendo un figthing de MOTU y ya hay uno 🤩🤗😎
Oozbite might be Skeloton Warriors and that background guy might be another tmnt ref🤔. this game NEEDS a "GI Joe" and "TF" character, maybe a not Barbie in the background
Nossa, fui ver agora, 250k em 18 dias, infelizmente acho pouco provável que vá pra frente esse KS. Resta esperança que alguma empresa veja o projeto (ou que eles resolvam fazer um pitch para alguma developer).
Cara, que jogo maneiro. Espero que dê resultado, mas pelo que parece tá bem em cima da data limite. Resta esperar pra ver se vai ou não, vou ver se dá pra ajudar.
essas cobra de camelo kkkkk. o kronan tbm e referencia q heman ia ser um boneco do conan, so q ai resolveram deixar mais infantil.
