Neo-Geo.com mentioned in new 1up article.

There is, however, a very delicate line between "inspiration" and "rip-off." In 1993, a fighting game called Fighter's History hit the arcades, and its backgrounds, character designs, and sound effects were curiously familiar. Capcom took Data East to court, an amusing gesture considering Street Fighter's core gameplay was ultimately based on Data East's own Karate Champ. Capcom lost the lawsuit, and though Fighter's History couldn't shake its reputation as a Street Fighter rip-off, it had enough of a cult following to warrant a sequel: Fighter's History Dynamite: Karnov's Revenge. The game was about as mediocre as its predecessor, according to a review on NeoGeo.com: "Nothing flashy, nothing terrible, nothing great. Just an old school fighter for hardcore fighter fans and fans of Mid-90's clones."

lol, woot woot, I guess

I remember writing that FHD review... man, it's been 6 years since? 5? Sheesh. I still enjoy the bloody series, blast the critics to heck.

The SNES port of the original is pretty damn accurate. I played it last year for the 1st time in 12 years. Hell, I popped it in for a go about 2 weeks ago. Holds up pretty well even today IMO
