Those
crazy giant lizards... always popping up in fighting games. Oddly enough,
they all manage to fight very differently. Take notes humans!
Pullum
& Rouge
Capcom
not only "copied" designs from other companies, but with Rouge,
has officially copied their own design...
they've officially gone crazy.
Bao
& Pete
Bao
& Pete are two vertically-challenged wimps that probably don't belong in fighting
games. Their hats are nearly the same, and they both wear shorts
and goofy shoes. Ironically enough, both of these designs came out in 1999
and they fight very differently... suggesting a coincidence.
Mukoro
& Jack
Not
only do both of them have a massive head wound, but they both carry two
insanely long knives and
they're both completely psycho... yet another case of possible relation,
but I doubt it was done on purpose.
Vega
& Shiki (Submitted by Leona)
Here's
another one that you have to look a little closer to see. Just for fun, I'm going to
"black out" what makes these two characters so similar. If you
still can't figure it out, use your mouse and highlight here -----> It's those purple snake
tattoos. ...It's also
kind of ironic that Vega & Shiki finally met in SNK VS Capcom: Chaos,
especially after this likeness was pointed out on TFG way before that
game was made!
Bazett,
Vanessa & C. Viper
Ladies
don't always need to show cleavage to be sexy... and can look pretty
damn good in a business suit. Bazett from Fate / Unlimited Codes,
Vanessa from KOF and C. Viper from
SFIV all fancy the business-lady attire, red hair and a red tie.
Red & black go together ever so nicely, I might add.
Gen-Fu,
Wang Jinrei, Gen & Tung Fu Rue
Ahh, the
"old kung-fu master" to close things out. This archetype has been done so many
times before... and naturally he's
a staple in any fighting game. However, after so many... you'd think the
designers would try to differentiate them more. If I had to pick a rip-off out of this
bunch, I'd say it's Gen-fu. His story and appearance (and name, lol) are
just too close to Gen's. In fairness, these elderly gentleman are
different enough when it comes to their overall fighting styles, and all
make sense as designs in their respective series.
Final
Fight Mechanical Door & Akira Mechanical Door
This
"bonus" Separated at Birth isn't about any characters... it's
about a door! This door from Final Fight stage 3 is most
definitely an exact replica of the door pictured above from the iconic
1988 film, Akira. Simply a cool little Easter Egg Capcom snuck
into the influential beat-em-up.
