Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Battle K-Road is a 1994 2D Fighting Game made for the arcades by Psikyo, a company usually known for specializing Shoot 'em Up. Allegedly based on the real life K-Road tournament that pitted fighters of various styles together,note It's very likely it was based in the K-1, a kickboxing promotion popular at the time in Japan. the game aims to provide a more grounded, authentic martial arts experience with fighting styles being recreated out of ones existing in the real world, the lack of projectiles and other outlandish techniques, and the knockdowns causing a position reset like they do in real matches. The game does throw a few wrenches in it's commitment to realism in the form of involvement of Terminator-inspired Cyborgs that do Mixed Martial Arts, to say nothing of that Final Boss.Psikyo would later take another knack at the Fighting Game genre with Daraku Tenshi: The Fallen Angels.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })See also Buriki One, SNK's realistic fighting game that happens to have a similar premise.note Just replace fighting Bears with fighting not-Akuma instead.Disciplines represented in Battle K-Road: Karate: Anthony Hawk and Masamichi Ohyama Boxing: Rick Simpson and Jeff Howard Muay Thai: Shinsaku Maekawa and John Anderson Combat Sambo: Wolf and Dan Mixed Martial Arts: Cyborgs D9-F and T-8P Sumo Wrestling: Mitsuji Tanimachi and Harimaoh Ju-Jitsu: Tyssa Willing and Yuki Fujiwara Shotoclone: Mr.Bear | |

| Battle K-Road (Video Game) / int_1282bf4f | comment |
No Celebrities Were Harmed: Most of the characters are based on real fighters: Karateka Anthony Hawk is based on Andy Hug, while his rival Masamichi is based on Masaaki Satake. Boxer Rick Simpson is based on Tommy Morrison, while his rival Jeff Howard is based on George Foreman. Muay Thai practicioner Shinsaku Maekawa is inspired by Kensaku Maeda. Sambo representative Wolf is Volk Han, while Dan might be based on Dan Moroboshi, wearing sunglasses that resemble the latter's Ultra Eye, and a mohawk that invokes Seven's head fin. Cyborg D-9F is inspired by Dick Vrij, with a little bit of Robert Patrick thrown in, while T-8P is obviously the T-800. Sumo wrestler Mitsuji is based on Takanohana Koji, while Harimaoh is based on Chiyonofuji Mitsugu. | |

| Battle K-Road (Video Game) / int_2b5a796d | comment |
Shotoclone: Amusingly enough, the Final Boss happens to be one, as he has the Hurricane Kick and a Shoryuken in it's movelist. (No Hadouken, as the game has no projectile attacks anyway). | |

New Game+: Befitting the developer's Shoot 'em Up roots, the game has a "Return Match" loop after you'd get to beat Mr. Bear the first time. | |

BadassNormal | |
| Battle K-Road (Video Game) / int_6411dac8 | comment |
Badass Normal: This game is basically Badass Normal: The Fighting Game, with most of the characters being adept at their disciplines with no need for projectile attacks. Only the Cyborgs (not much more durable than the rest of the cast) and the Final Boss are less fitting for this trope. | |

| Battle K-Road (Video Game) / int_902fa0b4 | comment |
Giant Space Flea from Nowhere: So, you go through a grounded and reasonably authentic multi martial arts tournament with the most outlandish contestant up to this point being a Cyborg that does semi-realistic shootfighting. And then all of sudden you face Mr. Bear. | |

Videogame Dashing | |
| Battle K-Road (Video Game) / int_aafdef28 | comment |
Video Game Dashing: Unusually, performed by the quarter circle forward motion, usually associated with Ryu's Hadouken.note And in case you are wondering, the special moves are performed by holding and releasing a hard punch/kick button, with the direction held also affecting the choice for the special move. | |
