everyone raise your hand if you care

I was thinking Fei Long from Super Street Fighter II was the first. Regardless I think they are paying respect to him by putting copy cat characters in the game.

*Applause*
Didn't take long for a smartass to jump up and show his face.

didnt take long for an idiot to make a stupid pointless thread about some stupid shit-eating rant

*Rasies hand* what am i caring about again? lol

Yes, thank you, dogs. I see you are able to take a statement and add different words to it to make it your own. Mmhmm. I am so proud of you.

do i see a fucking patent or a copyright next to your post? so shut the fuck up already

The two are different styles. The combos are completely different. Maybe close, but they aren't the same.

ithe trade occured, because jeet kune do is not a fighting style, but a more effective way to use a martial art(and the MK team somewhat made a deeper research). The name jun fan is Bruce lee's real name ( Lee Jun Fan), and it was named in the game because it's bruce lee's way of fighting, not the philosophy of jeet kune do.
The same happens with Scorpion's Mugai ryu, which is a kind of jeet kune do for Kenjutsu styles(traditional japanese fencing)

Since they are the same thing, I don't find a problem with them changing the names.

No offense, but I don't think they cared. There's a couple of martial arts informed people on the MKD Team and I don't think they wanted to misslead people. Hell, I sometimes refer to them by their other names myself. It's not like Hung Gar and Choy Li Fut which are both related but decernably different.
Nothing really to get all in a huff about mate! And really, accumilating skulls isn't the best way to get your opinions across to people either.

Johnny Cage is the fighter that had the Jeet Kune Do fighting style in MK:DA btw.

I'm not understanding why some of you are slamming this dude. He asked an honest question. And instead of some insightful answers, you're cussing him out and insulting him. Is there a reason for that?

This may be a stupid question but what are these skulls of which you speak?

Actually, now that I think about it they are different in appeareance do to the two individual fighting characteristics of Cage and Kang. Jun Fan and Jeet Kune Do are the same, but different depending who is using them independantly. Cage had his unique characteristics and Kang has his. That was Bruce's goal of Jeet Kune Do to have everyone develop naturaly and independant of the docturine of a structured "style".

It was not the best ideia to switch names like that do to the fact that some mk fans might not understand why they did but like mugiwah said jeet kune do is not really a martial art but just a concept. I was going to write the same thing as mugiwah but he beat me to it

I will say that the MKD Team was in error by giving Lui another style(Can't remember what it is) since Jun Fan doesn't require anything else to complement it. More combos and maybe even an added special move or two would have been better. Perhaps, an option of a different Jun Fan fighting posture with it's own set of moves would have been good if people wanted to switch during gameplay.

Again, what are these skulls that you speak of?

My personal take on this:
All the fighting styles they list are actually just names for the most part. Real moves for each of the fighting styles are few and far between. It's just a cool way for the MK:D team (and MK:DA respectively) to add alittle something more to the game. I use to study Shotokan and Sub-Zero sure isn't doing any traditional moves, but the style is a real style. Just like Noob's Monkey is a real style but done of the moves he's doing are from Monkey Kung Fu.
I would venture to guess that from a coding point they wanted to have 2 styles per character. Have you ever noticed how the CPU seems to adapt to the way you play a style but if you switch to a new style it falls for it? Just a thought.
