Rising Thunder is a free-to-play fighting game that uses simplified controls in contrast to most 2D Fighting Games which utilize motion or charge commands. This is to make the game more accessible while still being deep and balanced, being capable of standing up to years of high level competitive play. There are eight buttons in total which consist of three normals, three specials, an Overdrive/Super, and a throw. Each character has a listed fighting style and level of difficulty.
Inspired by classic Kung Fu films, this passion project provides intense one vs. one single player gameplay and fierce multiplayer competition as you choose to take on the role of one of 8 martial arts masters as you fight to show your style cannot be beat.
Hyper Dragon Ball Z is a freeware game developed from the M.U.G.E.N engine by fans of the anime dubbed "Team Z2". The gameplay focuses on the mechanics inspired by Street Fighter and Darkstalkers with other fighting games thrown into the mix (like Marvel VS Capcom and The King of Fighters). Initially beginning as a simple brand of Dragon Ball Z characters to go against the traditional Dragon Ball Z characters introduced into M.U.G.E.N. so far (overly flashy, broken, suffering heavily from Sturgeon's Law, etc.), the Z2 team of Balthazar (idea conceiver) and Cybaster (primary coder) expanded to include various others, including inspiring some other smaller projects in the team's honor. It's come to the point that a game based on the Z2 characters was realized, and the roster expanded from Goku and Vegeta to many more.
