对《醉拳师父袁小田》致敬的游戏 Games Character inspired by Drunken Master Yuen Siu-tien

Inspired by my previous post《Drunken Master Yuen Siu-tien
醉拳师父袁小田的致敬的游戏角色有哪些?
Games characters inspired by 《Drunken Master Yuen Siu-tien》Beggar So, So Chan, directly or indirectly.

《拳皇》《The King of Fighters (KOF)》
The King of Fighters (KOF) is a series of fighting games by SNK that began with the release of The King of Fighters '94 in 1994. The series was developed originally for SNK's Neo Geo MVS arcade hardware.
Chin Gentsai (Chinese: 鎮 元斎; Japanesee: チン・ゲンサイ)
His official nickname is "The Drunken Fist Master" (Japanese: 酔拳マスター; Chinese: 醉拳大师).
His character's age and fighting style were considered to be essential for the series when developers were selecting fighters for the roster.
Despite his vast knowledge and experience, he is often drinking alcohol or is already drunk. He will however sober up long enough to fight when needed. He is also an old acquaintance of Tung Fu Rue.
Although a proficient master of all Chinese martial arts, he tends to fight using the Drunken Fist style, a martial art in which the user mimics the movements of a drunken man.
Chin is most likely modeled on Yuen Siu Tien's character in the martial arts film, Drunken Master.



《VR战士》《Virtua Fighter》
Virtua Fighter (Japanese: バーチャファイター) is a series of fighting games created by Sega-AM2 and designers Yu Suzuki and Seiichi Ishii. The original Virtua Fighter was released in October 1993 and has received four main sequels and several spin-offs. The highly influential first Virtua Fighter game is widely recognized as the first 3D fighting game released.
Shun Di (舜帝; pinyin: Shùn Dì, lit. "Morning Glory Emperor")
who debuted in Virtua Fighter 2 uses a style of Drunken Kung Fu (Zuì Quán). 
He is from Northern China and is considered a sage by many. He teaches in his small training hall and had many students in the past but most have left him by now. This is due to his keen interest in taking students able to take hardship as part of the training. While drinking with his friends, Shun hears them boasting about the success of one of their student fighters in recent tournament competitions. He suddenly exclaims, "I also want to participate in the World Fighting Tournament". Shun's friends pleaded with him not to, but once Shun had mentioned his intent to fight, he was adamant and eventually joined the tournament.


《双截龙》《Double Dragon》
Double Dragon(日语:ダブルドラゴン) is a 1995 fighting video game spin-off of the Double Dragon series developed and published by Technōs Japan. It is based on the 1994 film, which in turn was based on the original arcade game. It was originally released for the Neo Geo (in AES and MVS formats) and later released for the Neo Geo CD and PlayStation (the latter ported by Urban Plant). It was Technōs Japan's last Double Dragon game before the company went out of business, and the fourth and final Double Dragon game released in arcades.
Cheng-Fu is a strange martial artist who is both joyful and careless. He is a pushover and justice-loving. He hates lectures and making an effort, and he is always sneaking away from his instructors. He got lost in San Francisco, and as a result of his personality, ended up fighting against Koga Shuko.
Cheng-Fu's physical appearance seems to be inspired by legendary martial artist and film actor Jackie Chan, in particular in his interpretation of Wong Fei-hung in the 1978 comedy martial arts film Drunken Master. Further supporting this theory, Cheng uses a fighting style named Zui Quan that emulates the movements of a drunken man and his master can be seen in his ending by putting him into a rigorous training session, similar to the events seen in the film.


《真人快打》《Mortal Kombat》
Mortal Kombat is an American media franchise centered on a series of video games originally developed by Midway Games in 1992. The development of the first game was originally based on an idea that Ed Boon and John Tobias had of making a video game starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, but when that idea fell through, a science fantasy-themed fighting game was created instead. Still, the developers paid homage to him with Johnny Cage, a fictional film star whose personal style resembles Van Damme's. The original Mortal Kombat was the first fighting game to introduce a secret fighter, reached if the player fulfilled a set of requirements.
Mortal Kombat has become the best-selling fighting game franchise worldwide and one of the highest-grossing media franchises of all time.
Bo' Rai Cho is a jovial, obese, drunken master of martial arts. He enjoys drinking alcoholic beverages and is infamous for his "Puke Puddle" move. His primary fighting style is the Drunken Fist, which is said to have been invented by him. Although he is an important part of the series, he did not appear in any games until Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance. Despite being an Outworlder, he opposes Shao Kahn and his imperialistic ambitions of conquest but is unable to participate in the tournaments himself (as any victory would be counted in favor of Outworld). With this in mind, he has instead opted to train Earthrealm warriors in combat, including Liu Kang, Kung Lao, and Shujinko. He has also trained Li Mei, another Outworlder who is friendly to Earthrealm and opposes Shao Kahn.
The character's name is actually a pun on the Spanish word "borracho", which in English means "drunk". According to character artist Herman Sanchez, the word simply felt Asian-sounding enough to use for Bo' Rai Cho after being broken down into three separate syllables.

《铁拳》《Tekken》
Tekken (Japanese: 鉄拳, "Iron Fist") is a Japanese media franchise centered on a series of fighting video and arcade games developed by Bandai Namco Studios and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. The franchise also includes film and print adaptations.
Japanese video game developer Namco began the series in 1994, with the release of the self-titled first entry. As of 2017, it has nine additional entries, and eight spin-off games, and has been adapted into three feature films and other media. Tekken 2, as well as the third game Tekken 3, are considered landmark titles; they received critical acclaim for their gameplay and more immersive experience. Subsequent titles have followed this concept and received generally positive critical responses. 
The series has been universally acclaimed and commercially successful, having shipped more than 53.5 million units, making it one of the best-selling video game franchises of all time, and the fourth best-selling fighting game franchise in history.
The main series has been widely credited by critics and video game publications for raising the standards of fighting games, praising it for its gameplay mechanics and replay value.
Lei Wulong (Chinese: 雷武龍 Léi Wǔlóng; Japanese: レイ・ウーロン Rei Ūron)
Lei is a skilled police officer from Hong Kong, known for his lighthearted personality and laid-back attitude. While being one of the more comical characters in the series, he is also known for his extraordinary skill as a martial artist and for his dedication to his job and whatever operations are at hand.
A man who lives for his job. Dedicated to the point of obsession, Lei is a law-abiding and gifted cop. He is fair-minded and affable to those around him (unless they break the law). In his Tekken 5 interludes, he is shown treating his friends (such as Wang Jinrei and Steve Fox) with compassion and respect. For his enemies, however, he attains a stern and direct approach to their arrest. Although his attempts can sometimes be clumsy, Lei's intentions are always virtuous in nature.
Because Lei is based on Jackie Chan, there are a lot of similarities in the games: Lei can be customized to resemble a few characters portrayed by Jackie Chan (ex. Kevin Chan, or Wong Fei Hung). Lei's Double Foot Stomp throw is very similar to that of Jackie Chan's throw at the Jackie Chan Stuntmaster game, although it has a different distance to succeed it. Coincidentally, his voice actor since Tekken 4, Hiroya Ishimaru, is also the official Japanese dub-over voice artist for Jackie Chan.

《形意拳》《Martial Masters》
Martial Masters (Chinese: 形意拳 Xíngyìqúan; Japanese name: シンイーケン, Shin-Ī Ken) is an obscure arcade 2D fighting game developed by a Taiwan-based development team, International Games System (IGS for short) and was originally released in Taiwan in 1999.
A year later it was published by Andamiro for Japanese arcades, followed by a limited arcade release in the USA in 2001. Unfortunately, the game never received a console or official PC release. The setting and characters draw inspiration from Hong Kong martial arts films, specifically Once Upon a Time in China, Drunken Master, and Operation Scorpio. 
Drunk Master(Chinese: 醉不归) 
A master of Drunken Kung Fu, he loves drinking every day. His real name and origins are unknown. He's a kind man and the adoptive grandfather of Reika. Like Chin Gentsai from The King of Fighters series, his design is loosely based off of "Sam the Seed" from the martial arts film starring Jackie Chan, and Yuen Siu-Tien the Drunken Master.
Other characters from the game, inclusive of Scorpio and Wong Fei-hung



《七龙珠》《Dragonball》
Dragon Ball (Japanese: ドラゴンボール, Hepburn: Doragon Bōru) is a Japanese media franchise created by Akira Toriyama in 1984. The initial manga, written and illustrated by Toriyama, was serialized in Weekly Shōnen Jump from 1984 to 1995, with the 519 individual chapters collected into 42 tankōbon volumes by its publisher Shueisha. Dragon Ball was originally inspired by the classical 16th-century Chinese novel Journey to the West, combined with elements of Hong Kong martial arts films.
Master Roshi (Chinese: 武天老師 Japanese: むてんろうし Muten Rōshi, lit. "Old Heavenly Martial Arts Master"), also known as the Turtle Hermit (亀仙人 かめせんにん Kamesen'nin) and God of Martial Arts (武道の神様 Budō no Kamisama), is a master of martial arts, who trained Gohan, Ox-King, Goku, Krillin, and Yamcha. He has a sister named Fortuneteller Baba. He is also a hermit and a pervert.
Jackie Chun uses the Drunken Fist (酔拳 Suiken) against Goku in the final of the 21st World Martial Arts Tournament. Using this style, he is able to emulate a set of unpredictable movements. Goku responds by using his own Crazy Fist attacks. When Yamcha reveals the name of the technique, Goku says that the Drunken Fist is one of his grandfather's special techniques.
The name and actions of the technique mimic that of drunken boxing, a real lifestyle of fighting that was made famous by Jackie Chan (in the film Drunken Master), who is, in turn, the real-life counterpart of Jackie Chun and the reference behind his name.
Master Roshi enters the tournament himself in disguise as "Jackie Chun" (a parody of Jackie Chan) in order to make sure that his students will not win; he does this so that they will still feel challenged and will not become overconfident.

《火影忍者》《Naruto》
Naruto (Japanese: NARUTOナルト) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Masashi Kishimoto. It tells the story of Naruto Uzumaki, a young ninja who seeks recognition from his peers and dreams of becoming the Hokage, the leader of his village. The story is told in two parts – the first set in Naruto's pre-teen years, and the second in his teens. The series is based on two one-shot manga by Kishimoto: Karakuri (1995), which earned Kishimoto an honorable mention in Shueisha's monthly Hop Step Award the following year, and Naruto (1997).
Naruto was serialized in Shueisha's magazine, Weekly Shōnen Jump from 1999 to 2014, and released in tankōbon (book) form in 72 volumes. The manga was adapted into an anime television series produced by Pierrot and Aniplex, which broadcast 220 episodes in Japan from 2002 to 2007; the English dub of the series aired on Cartoon Network and YTV from 2005 to 2009. Naruto: Shippuden, a sequel to the original series, premiered in Japan in 2007, and ended in 2017, after 500 episodes.
Naruto is the sixth best-selling manga series in history having 250 million copies in circulation worldwide in 47 countries and regions, with 153 million copies in Japan alone and the remaining 97 million copies elsewhere.
Rock Lee (ロック・リー, Rokku Rī) is a shinobi of Konohagakure's Lee clan and a member of Team Guy. Unlike most shinobi, he lacked the skills necessary to use ninjutsu or genjutsu. However, he overcomes those shortcomings by undergoing special training from Might Guy that would make him a taijutsu master while still a genin.
According to Might Guy, Drunken Fist is a kenpō/taijutsu style where "the more you drink, the drunker you get, and the stronger you become". This unusual taijutsu style is a unique style of combat. It can not be learned, nor can it be taught, honed, and refined through training and practice. Drunken Fist Fighters are not simply drunk, they become human powerhouses who'll strike unpredictably, with no inhibitions, with explosive fury, and without any second thoughts about their actions. Once drunk, the user will lose their ability to know friends from foes and attack whoever is in their vicinity.
Lee is a natural prodigy of the Drunken Fist. After drinking only a small amount of alcohol, his cheeks become red and he goes into a drunken rage, picking fights with friends and foes alike. Since he's already very gifted with taijutsu, Lee is extremely destructive in his drunken state; during his first drunk experience, he destroyed the restaurant where he was dining and even Guy struggled to subdue him, requiring assistance from Neji to hold Lee in place, which impresses Tsunade. Because of how easily Lee becomes drunk, he also sobers just as easily: when Kimimaro only scratches his face, Lee returns to normal shortly afterward. Lee seems to have no memory of his actions while drunk, or at least he can't understand his hangover. 


Okay, that's the end of the Games Characters inspired by the Drunken Master Yuen Siu-tien series!
