Hey all. I need to figure out a character from an old arcade fighting game. I played it in the mid-90’s, and I think it was new then, but it was in a series. I can’t remember the name exactly, but it may have been “King of Fighters”. Maybe not. There were a lot of that style of game back then. The character I’m looking for had a costume option that mirrored Bruce Lee’s yellow/black [outfit](http://www.google.com/search?num=10&hl=en&site=imghp&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1360&bih=643&q=bruce+lee+yellow+jumpsuit&oq=bruce+lee+ye&gs_l=img.3.0.0l8j0i24l2.1199.4771.0.6131.18.10.2.6.3.1.196.850.8j2.10.0...0.0...1ac.1.9GJoq2tkArs) He was a definite bruce lee imitation, but in a cool way. Can anyone remember what his name was? Or at least a picture of him in-game? Many thanks in advance. ---

I don’t suppose you’re thinking of [Scorpion](http://predatorhunter79.deviantart.com/art/Scorpion-MK-vs-DC-comics-121137979) from Mortal Kombat. ---

The yellow jumpsuit was some sort of costume choice in an arcade game - I mean the kinda you put quarters into and stood in front of. Not any home system. So it couldn’t be modded. I can’t remember how you unlocked that suit, and the game was def not mainstream. ---

I GOT IT!! It was Tekken’s [Law](http://www.google.com/search?q=mid+90's+fighter+arcade+games&hl=en&tbo=d&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=Uze0ULCKAui20AHft4C4Dw&ved=0CAQQ_AUoAA&biw=1360&bih=643#hl=en&tbo=d&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=tekken+law+bruce+lee&oq=tekken+law+bruce+lee&gs_l=img.3..0.40266.43410.2.43508.13.6.0.7.7.0.109.468.5j1.6.0...0.0...1c.1.a771TeqS8xc&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&fp=bd525bec819911d4&bpcl=38897761&biw=1360&bih=643) Thanks for the help though. 😃 ---

Not to burst your bubble, but Marshall Law isn’t exactly obscure. The Tekken franchise has gone places. I’m pretty sure I saw Jann Lee in a variation of that outfit in one of the Dead or Alive games. Guess Bruce Lee didn’t leave a whole lot of material to choose from. ---

Guess Bruce Lee didn’t leave a whole lot of material to choose from. AsI was figuring it out, I had discounted Tekken in my head already. I assumed it was one of the Japanese/English translated ones. Who here has heard of King of Fighters? I really thought it was that one for some reason… ---

> [@Uber\_the\_Goober](#): > > Who here has heard of King of Fighters? I really thought it was that one for some reason… Of course I’ve heard of it. 😉 But it didn’t even have a Bruce Lee clone, nevermind one with an unlockable costume. (KOF was a 2D sprite based game, which meant that anything most advanced than a palette swap would require a full hand-done redraw of the sprite. You don’t see alternate “costumes” in games like that. Just color schemes. )
