The King of Fighters

The King of Fighters officially abbreviated KOF is a series of fighting games developed by SNK Playmore formerly SNK which began with The King of Fighters 94 in 1994. The series was originally developed for SNK's Neo Geo MVS arcade hardware which served as the main platform for the series until 2004, when SNK retired the MVS in favor of the Atomiswave arcade board. Only two King of Fighters games were made on the Atomiswave platform The King of Fighters Neowave and The King of Fighters XI before SNK decided to discontinue using the platform for the series. The current arcade hardware for the series is the Taito Type X2 with its first usage coming with the release of The King of Fighters XII. Ports of the arcade games and original The King of Fighters games have been released for several video games consoles. The King of Fighters oder kurz KOF ist eine Kampfspiel-Serie von SNK die ihr Debüt 1994 feierte. Der Hersteller vereinte dabei Elemente und Figuren aus den hauseigenen Serien Fatal Fury und Art of Fighting, und brachte auch Figuren aus Spielen vor der Zeit des Neo Geos zurück, wie zum Beispiel aus Ikari Warriors und Psycho Soldier. The King of Fighters führte das 3 gegen 3 Teamkampfsystem ein sowie andere Elemente wie Attack Deflector und Emergency Escape die später auch in vielen anderen Spielen Anwendung fanden. Ein Merkmal der Serie ist, dass seit 1994 jedes Jahr eine neue Ausgabe von The King of Fighters erscheint, die die Geschichte der Serie fortsetzt. Bis 2003 erschien jeder Teil für die zu der Zeit schon sehr betagte Neo-Geo-Hardware. Da diese an die Grenzen ihrer Leistungsfähigkeit stieß und die Emulation des Neo Geos praktisch perfekt war ließ SNK vom Neo Geo ab und gab bekannt, für zukünftige Ausgaben die Hardwareplattform Atomiswave einzusetzen. Im Dezember 2004 gab man bekannt, die Serie nicht mehr in Jahresabständen zu veröffentlichen.

The White Dragon

The White Dragon is a 2004 Hong Kong wuxia comedy film directed by Wilson Yip and starring Cecilia Cheung and Francis Ng. The White Dragon is directed by Wilson Yip whose best known works to date are Bullets Over Summer Juliet in Love and SPL Sha Po Lang. It stars Cecilia Cheung as Phoenix Black, a pretty, young, and vain student who thinks she has what it takes to woo the most desirable eligible bachelor in the land, Second Prince Tian Yang n a twist departing from the standard superhero formula, White Dragon is a narcissist, forever worried about her good looks, even as she's fighting with Feather, a blind assassin nicknamed "Chicken Feathers" because of his propensity for using chicken feathers as his calling card.

Chicken Feathers is first challenged by White Dragon an elderly woman with proficient skills in martial arts to almost match his, but not quite enough. Thinking that she has been fatally wounded, White Dragon transfers her kung fu knowledge into empty shell Black Phoenix turning the young woman into the prettiest martial arts expert around. The downside to having these extraordinary powers which she does not fully understand is bad acne, which she manages to prevent only by doing noble deeds like robbing from the rich and giving to the poor.

hoenix is reluctant to take on her new role at first, but soon becomes interested in tracking down Chicken Feathers when she learns that her love interest Second Prince Tian Yang, might become his next target. Using her flute-playing as bait, White Dragon finally faces Chicken Feathers in an attempt to defeat him before he can carry out the assassination. Chicken Feathers proves to be too good for the new White Dragon, however. When White Dragon tries to exploit his weak points she ends up injured and dependent on Feathers who does nurse her back to health after their heated battle. While Chicken Feathers plays nurse, White Dragon seeks to find his true weak point to stop him once and for all. What she finds instead is that Chicken Feathers has fallen in love with her, and that he is growing on her as well. After a while her leg healed and Chicken Feathers found a letter for Second Prince Tian Yang and had it read by the town's doctor. This letter made Chicken Feathers thinking that Black Phoenix already has a boyfriend, namely the Second Prince Tian Yang. Chicken Feathers confronted Phoenix Black with this and they ended up struggling. Accidentally the girl stabbed her flute into the back of Chicken Feathers, which gave him a moment of sight. She ran away. The Third Prince, brother of the Second Prince apparently hired Chicken Feathers to kill his brother this was revealed at the very last scene.
