Did anyone else never know War was from Archie?

[CyberCubed]

When Tournament Fighters came out and for the longest time, I assumed War was a "made-up" character by Konami for the game, much in the same way Aska was.

I hadn't read the Archie comics fully until the early 2000's, and I had no clue War actually appeared in it as one of the four horseman owned by Death.

When I first read that Archie story I was like, "Oh wow, this is the same War from the videogame!"

I found it funny how such an obscure character like War made it into the game. There were other popular Archie villains they could have used like Malinga or Null...and they chose War? Wow.

[Ninjinister]

No, I knew who War was. Of the pre-existing characters, the only one I didn't know was Karai, having not read City At War until years after the games came out.

[Powder]

Same case for me, Cybercubed, so no.

I didn't know who Karai was either at the time, considering I was only like 8 years old or something when the game came out.

I knew it was the Archie interpretation of War. I recognized all the characters (except for Aska, of course).

Who, believe it or not, was originally going to be Princess Mitsu (http://hardcoregaming101.net/tmnt/tmnt8.htm) from the 3rd live-action movie!

Informative! Those pervy Japansies... >_<

[Xav]

Yeah I had no idea who War, Aska, Armaggon, and Karai were.

[Coola Yagami]

I knew who War and the rest were cause of Archie comics... though I was confused why they made War into a random mutant... and left out Armaggon's projectile and gave him legs... I found a random City at War comic (the one with Karai on the cover) so I knew who she was. I always assumed Aska was from some Mirage issue I never seen or something.

[Xav]

Didn't Armaggon already have legs?

[Coola Yagami]

Didn't Armaggon already have legs?

Not the kind of legs for kicking and such... he had weird... fin thingies in the comics...

[Spitfire]

I happened to have some comics with War in it so I knew who he was. The #1 reason I got the SNES version, aside from it being the one to feature Don on the cover, was all the Archie characters in the roster.

You mean all 3 of them? (Armaggon, Wingnut, War)

Chrome Dome was from the original cartoon, Karai/Rat King were based on either Mirage or old toon, and Aska was new. And Shredder could have been based on any Shredder really.

I wonder why they changed it to a character exclusively for this game? Instead of her and Sisphueus(sp?) we could have had better selections from prexisiting characters. To answer the original question,yes,I knew who War was. It seemed so random especaially sing he is apart of a group. Leatherhead would be a good character for a fighter.

[MrPliggins]

I had (and still have) no idea who Sisyphus (sp?) was. Was he in anything else?

He is like Ted Kord mutated.:lol: No, he is exclusively in the game for Sega Gensis for better or worse.

I am not sure how his name came from the Greek legend either.

As said, he wasn't in anything before the game. To the best of my knowledge, he wasn't anywhere else since either. Didn't he resemble Antrax tho?
