Kaiser Knuckle (Global Champion outside of Japan) is a 2D versus fighting game made by Taito for arcades in 1994. An updated version of the game called Dan-Ku-Ga was developed, but ultimately cancelled.
Kaiser Knuckle is clearly an attempt to capitalise on the success of Capcom's Street Fighter II, and other similar games. However, this Street Fighter clone adds cool new features to the classic formula. The plentiful blood effects also suggest that Kaiser Knuckle was inspired by the Mortal Kombat series.
The stages of Kaiser Knuckle are more interactive than in Street Fighter II. The player can break through the walls on either side of each stage (not including boss stages) to reveal extra areas. There are also more breakable objects, and the ground can be visibly damaged when characters slam into it. The background has fire and electric zones, which amplify the effect of special moves.
Kaiser Knuckle has a Power meter similar to the Super Combo Gauge of Super Street Fighter II Turbo, which fills up as the player takes damage. When the player's life bar is low, they can perform a desperation attack. Boss characters do not have super moves in this version of the game.
I find the character designs of Kaiser Knuckle to be at least as good, if not better than Street Fighter II.
The mulleted Ryu clone Kazuya has a tilt-a-whirl back breaker, which makes him more interesting. He also has a grab move where he hits his opponent with his geta (Japanese wooden sandal), which is certainly unique.
Barts, the Ken / Guile of the game looks pretty cool. He has some moves which would usually be associated with a grappler character like Zangief, namely a German suplex and air piledriver.
Gekkou resembles the referee from Samurai Shodown, and has jumping throws which are similar to the ninja characters of that game.
Wulong is the typical Bruce Lee clone, similar to Fei Long from Street Fighter II. His rapid floating kick combo grab move is also reminiscent of Liu Kang from Mortal Kombat.
Lihua looks somewhat similar to Nakoruru from Samurai Shodown, and also wields a sword. However, the Amazonian warrior Liza has a bird assistant, making her also comparable to Nakoruru. She also has an additional monkey assistant who can defend her by catching projectiles. Liza may have inspired the character Rila in the 1996 arcade fighting game Breakers. Rila is another jungle woman, who has a similar ending cutscene to Liza, in which she buys a new outfit with her prize money.
Jay McCoy is an alternative to the Boxer (M. Bison / Balrog) character from Street Fighter II, except he has the ability to kick. His stage is pretty cool, as the player can break through the ropes of his boxing ring. However, I find his design to be too similar to Barts (at least in terms of his blonde hair).
Boggy the breakdancing master looks similar to the breakdancer Dee Jay from Street Fighter II. I think this character could have had more interesting throws like Dee Jay's monkey flip, to show off his acrobatic ability.
Marco is a character based on Frankenstein's monster. He fights like a hybrid of Dhalsim and Zangief from Street Fighter II. His strong grappling ability combined with extendable limbs makes him dangerous at both close and far range. Unfortunately, this makes Marco an overpowered opponent who is annoying to fight against. I recommend choosing Marco as the first opponent in the game, to get him out the way at a lower difficulty level. Despite this, I really like the design of the character and his classic haunted house stage backdrop.
Gonzales is a Russian judo practitioner who is probably inspired by Zangief. His extreme grab moves bear little resemblance to Judo, such as his powerbomb and a spinning air throw. The computer player will prioritise Gonzales' throwing techniques, which are often unblockable, making him a very cheap opponent. The best way to defeat Gonzales is by using jump kicks and low kicks. Fortunately, his grab moves are very easy for the player to use, as they do not require complex command inputs.
Azteca is a cross between Blanka and Claw (Balrog / Vega) from Street Fighter II. He may also be inspired by the Aztec warrior Tam Tam from Samurai Shodown. He has a grab move using his hair, which also may be inspired by the Samurai Shodown character Kyoshiro.
The General is a rip-off of characters like Dictator (Vega / M. Bison) from Street Fighter II, and Brocken from World Heroes.
Overall, I was impressed by the range of throws available in Kaiser Knuckle. The game is very high quality in general, and is only let down by the cheap AI.
Thanks for checking out All Throws. Remember to subscribe for more grappling goodness.

1:16 - No joke, that move took hundreds of attempts to pull off. Not only is it an awkward command (HCB, DB, UB, MP + HP), but the game has the most broken input detection I've ever seen.
VERY HARD MOVE !!!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK ITS AWESOME TO WATCH THESE VIDS!
awesome game, thanks for responding my request! Next recomendation: Agressors of dark kombat!
That one will definitely come up sooner or later as I work through all the Street Fighter knock-offs.
This game looks SICK
0:08 oh, I loved that throw!
The backbreaker? It's pretty impressive for a Ryu clone.
@@AllThrows exactly. Impressive for sure
GOOD JOB !!! 😀
GREAT GAME !!! 👊
Thanks. It's one of the best Street Fighter clones I've tried so far.

Text translated by Google.
Really the grabs and throws help a lot to value fighting games even more, in addition to several of them visually impressing !!!
The psychological impact that many of these destructive moves cause helps to make combat more interesting !!!
From the year 1.993 onwards, all high-level fighting games have at least 2 fighters with these characteristics and over the years, as the number of characters increases, the minimum rises to 3 OR MORE fighters !!!
* PLEASE, THIS LIST CONTAINS MY HUMBLE GAME SUGGESTIONS:
[I am NOT pressuring you to video these games, I am JUST suggesting and I understand if you DON'T want to OR are unable to do so. Rest assured.]
- King of the Monsters 2. (SEGA Genesis all monsters can be chosen)
- Final Fight 3. (SNES)
- Golden Axe III. (Versus mode with 5 fighters)
- Big Fight: Big Trouble in the Atlantic Ocean. (Versus mode with 8 fighters)
- Fire Pro Gaiden: Blazing Tornado. (Wrestling)
THANK YOU VERY MUCH !!!
Sorry for my very long and perhaps tiring text. (Speaking of text, I always read the callouts you post in your videos)
Your RUclips channel is growing !!!
Keep up your GREAT, organized and competent work !!!
@@igorschirato2799 Thanks for the encouragement :). Those are great suggestions- Big Fight is one of my favourite beat 'em ups. I will do Final Fight 3 next because I was already planning it.
1:06 what is the difference with this one and the next similar move ?
One is a ground throw, the other is an air throw (used during a jump).
The game I've never heard of
What do you think about it?
To be honest I'm a street fighter fan and I've never been hyped by other contenders like fatal fury or world heroes but this one looks incredible. It's Arcade at his finest.
where do you get this game?
Search on Google for the ROM file.
@@AllThrows thanks man! what emulator do I need on laptop/pc to run the game?
@@futurecoreproductions I use the FinalBurn Neo emulator within RetroArch. You could also use MAME.
Where is Gonzales' Super Move?
I don't believe it's in this version of the game. I tested out the command and nothing happened (same for Atzeca). The CPU player never does it either. I'm guessing they added it to the update Dan-Ku-Ga when Gonzales was made into an officially playable character.
A better question is why is a Russian named Gonzalez?
