'''''Shaq Fu''''' is a video game developed by [[Delphine Software]] and was released, among other systems, for the [[Sega Mega Drive]] and [[Sega Game Gear]]. It is a fighting game which stars basketball player Shaquille O'Neal, who has accidentally been transported to "The Second World" and tasked with saving the land from a mythical sorcerer named Sett Ra. Though it is often praised for its fluid animation and vibrant graphics, the game has been the subject of ridicule for its nonsensical plot and bad controls.
+
'''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' is a [[Sega Mega Drive]] fighting game developed by [[Delphine Software International]] and published by [[Electronic Arts]]. Endorsed by and starring American professional basketball star [[wikipedia:Shaquille O'Neal|Shaquille O'Neal]] (also known as [[wikipedia:Shaquille O'Neal|Shaq]]), it was first released in the United States and Europe in October 1994, and also saw an American-exclusive [[Sega Game Gear]] port the following year courtesy of [[Tiertex]]. A European Game Gear release was listed for October 1994.{{magref|ctw|502|10}}

The Sega Mega Drive version is notable for including five more playable characters and three new stages (The Lab, The Wasteland, and Yasko Mines) than its Super Nintendo Entertainment System counterpart. Unfortunately the story mode is shorter than in the SNES version, but as a bonus, players can also walk down the stairs past Gargoyle's Peak to fight a blue version of Beast. The Amiga port was based on the Mega Drive port, but features less music and background animation has been removed.
+
''Shaq Fu'' is most notable both for its extensive use of [[Delphine]]'s distinctive rotoscoping techniques for visibly-fluid fighter animations, and for its unfortunate modern reputation as one of the worst video games ever released. Unlike other games which legitimately deserve the title, ''Shaq Fu'' is instead a victim of other factors: the novelty of its seemingly-bizarre premise, its strikingly-campy [[wikipedia:kung fu film|kung fu film]]-inspired title, and most importantly, that it stars a recognizable and humorous celebrity personality in a fighting game. In recent years, ''Shaq Fu'' has since seen a critical re-evaluation as a fairly standard fighting game with smooth animations and competent gameplay.{{ref|https://web.archive.org/web/20210303113832/https://www.sega-16.com/2005/12/shaq-fu/}}{{ref|https://web.archive.org/web/20211029102820/http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/shaq-fu/}}

* '''Power Kick''': {{c}}
 +
* '''Fast Punch''': {{y}}
 +
* '''Power Punch''': {{z}}
 +
* '''Blocking''': Hold {{left}} to block high and mid-range attacks, or hold {{downleft}} to block low attacks. Blocking Special Attacks will cause a minimal amount of damage to the blocker.
 +
* '''Shield''': Pressing {{down}} + {{a}} makes characters create a shield around them. The shield will block projectile attacks, but other attacks will go through.
 +
* '''Throw''': Characters can throw when up close by pressing {{left}}+{{a}}.
 +
* '''Taunt''': Press {{x}} to taunt. Taunting will leave a character open to attack. It doesn't do anything.
 +
* '''Fury Bar''': As a character takes damage, their Fury Bar will charge up. When it is full, the word "FURY" will appear on it and the character will deal slightly more damage for a while.
 +
* '''Dizzy''': If a character is hit multiple times in a row without dealing any damage themselves, they risk being dizzied. When dizzy, a character will be stunned on the ground while stars rotate above them. Recover from a dizzy by pressing buttons rapidly.

{{MainArticle|Shaq Fu/Development}}
−
* '''Fast Punch''': {{y}}
+
[[Delphine]] first began development of what would eventually become ''Shaq Fu'' as a basketball game, but after talks with American athlete and endorser [[wikipedia:Shaquille O'Neal|Shaquille O'Neal]] (a self-proclaimed fan of ''[[Mortal Kombat]]''), the title soon evolved into a competitive fighting game starring the titular celebrity.{{magref|mms|22|28}}
−
* '''Power Punch''': {{z}}
 
−
* '''Blocking''': Hold {{left}} to block high and mid-range attacks, or hold {{downleft}} to block low attacks. Blocking Special Attacks will cause a minimal amount of damage to the blocker.
 
−
* '''Shield''': Pressing {{down}} + {{a}} makes characters create a shield around them. The shield will block projectile attacks, but other attacks will go through.
 
−
* '''Throw''': Characters can throw when up close by pressing {{left}}+{{a}}.
 
−
* '''Taunt''': Press {{x}} to taunt. Taunting will leave a character open to attack. It doesn't do anything.
 
−
* '''Fury Bar''': As a character takes damage, their Fury Bar will charge up. When it is full, the word "FURY" will appear on it and the character will deal slightly more damage for a while.
 
−
* '''Dizzy''': If a character is hit multiple times in a row without dealing any damage themselves, they risk being dizzied. When dizzy, a character will be stunned on the ground while stars rotate above them. Recover from a dizzy by pressing buttons rapidly.

===Legacy===

|-
+
''Shaq Fu'''s reputation as one of the worst games ever released eventually led to the creation of a website dedicated to destroying all copies of the game the owner could acquire.{{ref|https://web.archive.org/web/20080319125632/http://www.shaqfu.com:80/main.html}} As a response to this, a second website was created dedicated to saving as many copies from destruction as possible.{{ref|http://www.saveshaqfu.com}}

Developed by Big Deez Productions for [[wikipedia:Eighth generation of video game consoles|eighth-generation]] game systems and published on June 5, 2018, it received generally negative reviews upon its release.

Non-Sega versions

Shaq Fu is a Sega Mega Drive fighting game developed by Delphine Software International and published by Electronic Arts. Endorsed by and starring American professional basketball star Shaquille O'Neal (also known as Shaq), it was first released in the United States and Europe in October 1994, and also saw an American-exclusive Sega Game Gear port the following year courtesy of Tiertex. A European Game Gear release was listed for October 1994.[5]

Shaq Fu is most notable both for its extensive use of Delphine's distinctive rotoscoping techniques for visibly-fluid fighter animations, and for its unfortunate modern reputation as one of the worst video games ever released. Unlike other games which legitimately deserve the title, Shaq Fu is instead a victim of other factors: the novelty of its seemingly-bizarre premise, its strikingly-campy kung fu film-inspired title, and most importantly, that it stars a recognizable and humorous celebrity personality in a fighting game. In recent years, Shaq Fu has since seen a critical re-evaluation as a fairly standard fighting game with smooth animations and competent gameplay.[6][7]

Story

Long ago and far away, in a place called The Second World, there ruled the heartless sorcerer Sett Ra. His hunger for power still gnawed at him even though his dominance over the Second World was unchallenged; he longed to extend his grasp to the fair First World, Earth.

Sett Ra's Plan was simple. He would destroy the Pharaoh of Egypt and usurp his throne. He created a perfect assassin from his own shadow who would serve him without question. This shadow became beast, the mightiest and most loyal of all Sett Ra's minions. Beast destroyed the Pharaoh, and the disguised Sett Ra soon sat upon his throne.

However, the Pharaoh son Ahmet was not deceived. He brazenly confronted the powerful sorcerer, threatening to reveal him. Sett Ra escaped from the palace to the Great Desert, where his grandfather, Leotsu the Wise, dwelt as a monk and hermit. Leotsu and Ahmet united with a coven of powerful wizards from the lands beyond Egypt, and their combined power was able to send Sett Ra back to the Second World, comatose and imprisoned within a rune-encrusted pyramid. He slumbered for a millennium, bound by the wrappings of a mummy. Beast roamed the Second World, dedicated to finding and releasing his dread master. Successful at last, Beast and Sett Ra vow to wreak havoc on those who stopped them before.They have gathered a battalion of formidable fighters to further this end.

To regain his full strength and to end his exile from the First World, Sett Ra must perform an ancient ritual upon a descendant of Ahmet. Beast has now returned from Earth with the child Nezu, a child in whose veins the royal blood runs pure. All is ready for the final cataclysmic battle-only the Chosen One can stop Sett Ra now. One who possesses strength, spirituality, courage, agility, intelligence, and unsurpassed skill in the martial arts. Where will the world find such a one? Only Shaq knows.

Gameplay

Basic Moves

  • Fast Kick: B
  • Power Kick: C
  • Fast Punch: Y
  • Power Punch: Z
  • Blocking: Hold Left to block high and mid-range attacks, or hold Down-left to block low attacks. Blocking Special Attacks will cause a minimal amount of damage to the blocker.
  • Shield: Pressing Down + A makes characters create a shield around them. The shield will block projectile attacks, but other attacks will go through.
  • Throw: Characters can throw when up close by pressing Left+A.
  • Taunt: Press X to taunt. Taunting will leave a character open to attack. It doesn't do anything.
  • Fury Bar: As a character takes damage, their Fury Bar will charge up. When it is full, the word "FURY" will appear on it and the character will deal slightly more damage for a while.
  • Dizzy: If a character is hit multiple times in a row without dealing any damage themselves, they risk being dizzied. When dizzy, a character will be stunned on the ground while stars rotate above them. Recover from a dizzy by pressing buttons rapidly.

History

Development

Main article: Shaq Fu/Development.

Delphine first began development of what would eventually become Shaq Fu as a basketball game, but after talks with American athlete and endorser Shaquille O'Neal (a self-proclaimed fan of Mortal Kombat), the title soon evolved into a competitive fighting game starring the titular celebrity.[8]

Release

Specifically-marked copies of the game included the promotional single Shaq Fu: Stand and Deliver.

Cross-promoted with Shaq Fu was Shaquille O'Neal's second studio rap album, Shaq Fu: Da Return, released twelve days after the video game and eventually peaking at #19 in Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and #67 in the Top 200 chart. Specific copies of the game shipped with an included CD single titled Shaq Fu: Stand and Deliver, coming enclosed in a small cardboard sleeve which fit inside the main box. The CD was also available for mail order directly from the publisher itself.

Legacy

Shaq Fu's reputation as one of the worst games ever released eventually led to the creation of a website dedicated to destroying all copies of the game the owner could acquire.[9] As a response to this, a second website was created dedicated to saving as many copies from destruction as possible.[10]

An unrelated sequel which capitalized on the original name, Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn was announced in March 2014 as a three-dimensional beat-'em-up again starring Shaquille O'Neal. Developed by Big Deez Productions for eighth-generation game systems and published on June 5, 2018, it received generally negative reviews upon its release.

Versions

Compared to the original Mega Drive version, the handheld Game Gear port features a selection of only six playable characters, and lacks both the original game's tournament mode and its digitized voice samples.
