I can't be the only one who remembers this game. It's a 3D fighter 'MMO' that was around in 2007 and then just disappeared off the face of the earth.

What was unique about it is that there was no character roster. Instead you made your own character and chose a martial arts style for them. As you levelled up, you could choose different skills and stuff that would expand your movelist in different ways. From the looks of it, it played a lot like tekken or virtua fighter.

It's a shame it died like 1 year before I got a chance to experience it for myself. But it makes me wonder, could this idea work today?

I mean, it seems to work for the more 'sports' fighters like the UFC EA sports games, UFC Undisputed, and the WWE games. They do incorporate the real-life big names in the industry at the time of release, but the big draw of those games seems to be the career modes where you can make your own fighter and build him up however you like.

Could this work for a more traditional 3D fighter? I think it might.

I know! It's so sad that it's gone.

I asked on another imageboard how hard it would be to do one of those 'fan revivals' like what happens with legacy versions of WoW, Dark Age of Camelot, Matrix Online, etc, and it is probably possible, but far too much of an undertaking for me to actually do.

Ah, the early 2000s when the Gooks would do experimental multiplayer games, this was the fun kind, along with Gunz. Too bad they'd rather farm and grind shit than git gud with a fighting game.

Check the vid link, I remember you can still play this game though.

Yeah I think you can still play it offline against bots. Might download it and check out what's left of the game.

I tried it out using wine (i'm currently not on a windows PC). After a bit of messing around I got it to work. It ran like shit, but from what I could tell, this game would have actually been really good. The devs clearly knew what they were doing. The movelist is pretty large like with any major 3D fighter, it's got stuff like hitlevels, stances, okizeme attacks, strings, launchers, and all that. Button layout is like Virtua fighter or DOA.
