| Way of the Warrior (Video Game) | comment |
One of the many fighting games that tried to copy Mortal Kombat.Released by Universal in 1995 for the 3DO, Way of the Warrior was one of the first Naughty Dog creations. It was largely made in basements and houses of the developers, using their friends to represent the digitized, live-action fighters.The plot revolves around a one-on-one fighting tournament in a mountaintop citadel in the Himalayas. The tournament is held once every century to determine the best fighter in the world. Said fighter is then given an entry in the "Book of Warriors," a compilation of the life stories and fighting techniques of the world's greatest fighters. The rest of the world either prospers or falls into despair in line with the good/evil alignment of the last winner. This now presents a problem as there is only one more blank page in the book, and the final winner will tip the scales towards good or evil forevermore.The game's soundtrack is by Rob Zombie, specifically the White Zombie album La Sexorcisto: Devil Music, Vol. 1 | |

All There in the Manual: The instruction book had fairly fleshed out bios for the cast, many of whom knew each other to various degrees before being invited to the tournament. Among other things, the Ninja is pals with Major Gaines, and long-time enemies with both Konotori and the Dragon. | |

Not Drawn to Scale | |
| Way of the Warrior (Video Game) / int_37ea4a73 | comment |
Not Drawn to Scale: The game tried to mimic Samurai Shodown's scaling backgrounds and combatants depending on their distance from one another, but there's very little consistency in how the fighters get zoomed. At one point, one character will tower over another; the next they will be evenly sized. | |

Mortal Kombat pastiches are: Ninja (based on the Ninjas (Scorpion, Sub-Zero, etc.), but also given the ability to perform Lightning attacks similar to that of Raiden), Konotori (Having an appearance similar to that of the aforementioned thunder god, but having a play style and techniques much like those of Kung Lao and Kitana) and, to lesser degrees, Fox (based on Jax), Dragon (based on Liu Kang, but is a Composite Character with Johnny Cage in sharing a background as an actor and having a cocky attitude), and Nikki-Chan (sharing the same special move with the aforementioned thunder god that involves flying at the opponent and pushing them against the wall, and fatality with Kano that involves ripping the opponent's heart out). Kull the Despoiler also has several elements of Shao Kahn. One might also claim Shaky Jake as being a copy of Kano, but it is an aversion and merely coincidental as Kano wasn't portrayed as being Australian until the 1995 Mortal Kombat movie and in canon in 2000's Mortal Kombat: Special Forces.Technicality (Granted, Special Forces was later Retconned as Canon Discontinuity, thus making the first canonical game of Kano as Australian as 2002's Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance, regardless the point still stands.) | |

| Way of the Warrior (Video Game) / int_6bfc52a3 | comment |
A Wizard Did It: The Book of Warriors is "written by magic, in the blood of champions." Presumably, said magic is why the book influences the world along the path of good or evil depending on the alignment of the last fighter entered. | |

Expy: Mortal Kombat pastiches are: Ninja (based on the Ninjas (Scorpion, Sub-Zero, etc.), but also given the ability to perform Lightning attacks similar to that of Raiden), Konotori (Having an appearance similar to that of the aforementioned thunder god, but having a play style and techniques much like those of Kung Lao and Kitana) and, to lesser degrees, Fox (based on Jax), Dragon (based on Liu Kang, but is a Composite Character with Johnny Cage in sharing a background as an actor and having a cocky attitude), and Nikki-Chan (sharing the same special move with the aforementioned thunder god that involves flying at the opponent and pushing them against the wall, and fatality with Kano that involves ripping the opponent's heart out). Kull the Despoiler also has several elements of Shao Kahn. One might also claim Shaky Jake as being a copy of Kano, but it is an aversion and merely coincidental as Kano wasn't portrayed as being Australian until the 1995 Mortal Kombat movie and in canon in 2000's Mortal Kombat: Special Forces.Technicality (Granted, Special Forces was later Retconned as Canon Discontinuity, thus making the first canonical game of Kano as Australian as 2002's Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance, regardless the point still stands.) Street Fighter and Final Fight pastiches include Nikki Chan (Chun-Li), Major Gaines (based on Guile), Gulab Jamun (based on Dhalsim), and Crimson Glory (Poison). In addition, there is also the sub-boss character, High Abbot, a greenish-gray colored dragon-like creatureTidbit (High Abbot was made by taking a McDonald's Happy Meal Jurassic Park velociraptor toy that was modified by adding spikes along its back and painted over with different colors)who fights in a savage manner and can even roll into a ball and launch himself at opponent. He is basically Blanka (minus electrical shocking abilities) as a velociraptor. Nobunaga is likely a tribute to some characters from the Samurai Shodown series by SNK. The aforementioned Shaky Jake is an obvious copy of "Crocodile" Dundee, even including the paraphrasing of one of Dundee's iconic lines as "This is a Knife!" | |
