Fighter's Misery: Schmuck Fu

Hey, look!  I'm back!

No, not REALLY.  I just felt like sharing footage of my game hack, Schmuck Fu, designed with the noble (if ultimately foolhardy) goal of making the Electronic Arts disaster Shaq Fu more entertaining.  Now the basketball star battles everyone from disgruntled moviegoers to discarded Tickle-Me-Elmo dolls in his quest to save some kid from the clutches of a fashion-challenged mummy.  The excitement never ends, because it never begins!

If you care, if you dare, you can find the IPS patch for the game at Romhacking dot net.  Just follow this link, which I hope YouTube will let me post.  (Sorry, I don't know... it's been a while since I've been active here.)

Apply the patch to the Super NES version of Shaq Fu (which you legally own, of course!) and you're off to the races.  Note that it's only a script change, but it's a pretty extensive rewrite!  There are a lot of quips in the versus mode that you won't find in this video.

This video also works as an abbreviated Let's Play of Shaq Fu, with the more boring and/or lopsided battles removed.  You might even find a few annotations thrown in for good measure, so be sure to stick around for the full twelve minutes!
