Me bro. Tao Feng is the only reason I bought an XBOX 1. I miss the commerical for it. With the breaking of the limbs from the skeleton. Good times.

I litterally dug through my old x box games just to find it a couple of days ago. My favorites had to be Divine Fist and Iron Monk. I dont why but I had a urge to find this game a couple of days ago.

the good times indeed. because of you in the Where is John Tobias thread, I was inspired to do this thread.

thought i share with ya guys... i missed the commercial too.... I still like to play this game...

tao feng commercial

Tao Feng is tha Shyt! I Still love this game the Characters were all badass! there should of been a Sequal.

I don't like it as much as my MK, but did find it interesting. I wouldn't mind seeing that game vs. MK one day if Tobias can some how revamp the Tao Feng series.

I didn't hate it, didn't love it but I didn't mind it. The concept and characters were cool.

Tao Feng is badass. Still remains one of my favorite classic X-box games. My favorite Characters were:

F. Phoenix
Iron Monk
Divine Fist
Vapor
The Fatalist
Geist

Out of them all, I'm probably best with F. Phoenix and Vapor.

Zhao Yen and Exile were great for big guys. But Wulong Goth was just fastass.

For me the Rundown is like this:

Fierce Tiger sim to. Tanya
Jade Dragon sim to. Li Mei
Exile sim to. Kintaro
Zhao Yen sim to. Quan Chi
Divine Fist sim to. Kung Lao
Vapor sim to. Sonya
Divinity sim to. Ashrah
Fatalist sim to. Kano
Geist sim to. Jade
Fiery Phoenix sim to. Taven
Master Sage sim to. Bo' Rai Cho
Iron Monk sim to. Liu Kang
Wulong Goth sim to. Shang Tsung / Shujinko

As far as tiers went. Master Sage, Jade Dragon, & Wulong Goth were all near the top.
Fiery Phoenix was close to, but his fire trail could be side stepped. The good thing about it, it was a stun special move and you could follow up with an easy 17 hit 70% combo after it.

Exile's "Rupture Implode" was very good in damage, very poor in range.

Despite the gameplay flaws I thoroughly enjoyed Tao Feng. I wish it had online play. The Arenas were large and lifelike. The character animations and designs were cool. The graphics were awesome.

I can remember around 5 years ago when Victor Lucas, and Tommy Tallarico reviewed this game on Electric Playground. Can you believe they gave Tao Feng a rating of 9.5/10? According to Victor one of the pluses was the great graphics. There was only one glaring minus in which Tommy remarked, "Too many jigglies." They thought that the breast physics on the female characters were well done, but way too animated for their tastes. Lol.

Then about a week later they appeared on Electric Playground with a revised review apologizing to the viewers for giving Tao Feng such a high score. After noticing some gameplay flaws and a camera that 180s on you during a match they knocked the score down to a 6.5.

I agreed with that revised score.

One more thing I found interesting is that in the end credits they had gameplay testing, and a deep gameplay testing crew.

You know now that I think about it, I'm shocked people go nutty over KI yet this game doesn't get more chatter. What I can't remember is if this game was online or not?

No Online sadly. But Survival made up for that, as well at the Tournament mode, which you and a friend could v.s. each other similar to MKT's.

You don't know how bad i wish this game could of evolved. This 1 game alone is on par with MK for me.

Granted it had flaws. I played it for 10+ hours a day sometimes. I came up with some of the nastiest combo/juggle variations you can think of. Sorry for the rant lol.

The overall execution was very sloppy, and the animations were a combination of awesome and terrible like the juggle bounce was real bad and some moves had way too many frames missing.

The game play was glitchy and bland even though they tried to put in some more advanced concepts like throw escapes, ground game, distance throws...

It's like they see these things in other fighters but don't have a clue on how or why they work in the first place. A lot like how the MK games fight mechanics are put together.

like someone thinking they know how to fight because they learned watching kung fu movies.

The graphics were nice though, that's what I liked the most, and Jet Li was in it.

I can appreciate the effort and background in Tao Feng.

The bad part comes in when you get to the gameplay. Classic cheesy fighting system. Shallow, repetitive and again: chain based combos.

Ohh, well the MK games are better then Tao Feng...except for Special Forces lol

That game reeked sadly but I liked the concept

I remember that I likes a lot of elements of that game but not the game as a whole. I was expecting something more along the lines of a MK game but it played a bit more like Tekken.

.................

We need idea of new character and team sect .

That games need to be back.

Fierce Tiger sim to. Tanya
Jade Dragon sim to. Jade
Exile sim to. Kintaro
Zhao Yen sim to. lin kuei grandmaster
Divine Fist sim to. Kung Lao
Vapor sim to. Tasia .
Divinity sim to. Ashrah
Fatalist sim to. Kano
Geist sim to. kira .
Fiery Phoenix sim to. liu kang
Master Sage sim to. Bo' Rai Cho
Iron Monk sim to. cyrax
Wulong Goth sim to shinnok.

Geist alternate is really Kytinn like.

New character of tao feng would like to be sim to sub zero & Scorpion as rivals to be different in new faction.

https://mortalkombat.fandom.com/wiki/Factions_%26_Alliances

Pale lotus is similar to White lotus.

Black mantis is similar to Brotherhood of shadow.

Any idea of new factions to be allies to pale lotus and black mantis?.

New Faction to be similar to Shirai ryu, Lin kuei, special forces, Black Dragon, Red Dragon, Kahn guards let me know if idea of new factions to be alliance To Pale lotus and black mantis.
