History VideoGame / HumanKillingMachine

* NonIndicativeName: As WebVideo/StuartAshen points out, the title doesn't seem to indicate if Kwon is [[OneManArmy a killing-machine who is human]] or is [[RidiculouslyHumanRobots a machine for killing humans]]. We might never know or care.

* KickTheDog: Literally. You fight Igor's dog Shepski as the second opponent. Don't believe it? See [[https://youtu.be/5zUkK14bHDk?t=4m45s this video]] for yourself (at 4:45 into it).

* NationalStereotypes: Oh, boy... there are a lot of these here. To quote a description of its cast of fighters on TV Tropes' own DarthWiki/DarthWiki section of worst games, "The fighters are all miscellaneous god-awful ethnic stereotypes with occasional cruelty to animals." Though for the sake of elaboration, here are the specific examples.
** The first two opponents on the Moscow stage are a rifle-wielding soldier named Igor, who takes part in upholding a Communist regime, and his dog, [[Series/BluePeter Shepski]].
** The fighters of Dutch origin are two women, Maria and Helga, who work as prostitutes in the [[FreestateAmsterdam red-light district of Amsterdam]]. Not just a less-than-favorable portrayal of the Netherlands, but the prostitutes being the only female characters in the roster of fighters isn't helping matters either.
** In Spain, the opponents Kwon faces are a [[TorosYFlamenco matador named Miguel and a bull named Brutus]]. This is the least likely to induce facepalming, but is stereotypical nonetheless.
** The German characters are a butler named Franz, who fights primarily by throwing bottles of wine, and his master Hans. The latter is a mustache and [[BuffySpeak afro-ish]] haired and lederhosen clad man who, to quote WebVideo/StuartAshen, "looks like an actor from a European '70s porno movie". Insert EuropeansAreKinky jokes here...
** The last two opponents, Sagan and Merkeva, are based in Lebanon and are strongly implied to be [[MiddleEasternTerrorists terrorists]], the latter especially based on his wearing a BadassBandolier and carrying a Bazooka.

* NintendoHard: Not only is every opponent a borderline SNKBoss that also have far better RegeneratingHealth than Kwon, but there is also the "Kwon is Strong/Tired/Weak" ScrappyMechanic where, depending on his performance against the prior opponent, Kwon has to win 3 to 5 times while the opponents have to win the opposite number of times. If Kwon is tired, then he and the opponent have an equal number of four knockdowns in order to win.
* NonIndicativeName: As WebVideo/StuartAshen points out, the title doesn't seem to indicate if Kwon is [[RidiculouslyHumanRobots a killing-machine who is human]] or is [[OmnicidalManiac a machine for killing humans]]. We might never know or care.

''Human Killing Machine'' is an unofficial sequel to ''VideoGame/{{Street Fighter|I}}'' created by Tiertex and published on the UsefulNotes/ZXSpectrum, UsefulNotes/Commodore64, UsefulNotes/AmstradCPC, UsefulNotes/CommodoreAmiga, and UsefulNotes/AtariST by U.S. Gold. Tiertex actually pitched this game as a sequel to ''Street Fighter'', but Creator/{{Capcom}} was already working on an actual sequel themselves (''VideoGame/FinalFight'', or ''Street Fighter [='=]89'' as it was called at the time), and so they declined. You play as Kwon, a boxer from Korea, who goes all around the world fighting various people.

* BullfightBoss: Quite literally. Brutus, one of the Spanish opponents, is a bull.

** Given this game's genesis as a pitched sequel to the first ''Street Fighter'' prior to Capcom turning it down, it is rather obvious that Kwon is based on Ryu and designed to look different (being shirtless and wearing red gloves similar to those worn by MMA fighters) to avoid legal battles.

* KickTheDog: Literally. You fight Igor's dog Shepski. Don't believe it? See [[https://youtu.be/5zUkK14bHDk?t=4m45s this video]] for yourself (at 4:45 into it).
* MiddleEasternTerrorists: Sagan and Merkeva. The latter one especially given that he is wearing a bandolier and carrying a rocket launcher.

** The fighters of Dutch origin are two women, Maria and Helga, who work as prostitutes in the [[FreestateAmsterdam red-light district of Amsterdam]]. Not just a less-than-favorable portrayal of the Netherlands, but the prostitutes being the only female characters isn't helping matters either.

* NintendoHard: Not only are every opponent a near SNKBoss, but there is also the "Kwon is Strong/Tired/Weak" ScrappyMechanic where, depending on his performance against the prior opponent, Kwon has to win 3 to 5 times while the opponents have to win the opposite number of times. If Kwon is tired, then he and the opponent have an equal number of four knockdowns in order to win.

* WalkingShirtlessScene: Kwon, who had this appearance several years before Ryu gained the "Hot Ryu" alternate appearance in ''VideoGame/StreetFighterV''.
* WouldHitAGirl: Kwon. He has to beat up prostitutes in Amsterdam.

** Given this game's genesis as a pitched sequel to the first ''Street Fighter'' prior to Capcom turning it down, it is rather obvious that Kwon is based on Ryu and designed to look differently (being shirtless and wearing red gloves similar to those worn by MMA fighters) to avoid legal battles.
** Lets see, a giant muscular bald fighter from a location that is a place foreign to the protagonist? Merkeva certainly seems to have modeled after Sagat.

** The first two opponents on the Moscow stage are a rifle-wielding soldier named Igor, who takes part in upholding a Communist regime, and his dog, [[Series/BluePeter Shepski]]. While the U.S.S.R. did indeed exist at the time this game was made, it's unfounded to claim that all its citizens appreciated or enthusiastically supported that regime.

!!KWON IS STRONG KWON NEEDS 5 TROPES

* NintendoHard: Not only are every opponent a near SNKBoss, but there is also the "Kwon is Strong" ScrappyMechanic where Kwon has to win 5 times while the opponents have to win 3 times.

* WouldHitAGirl: Kwon. He has to beat up prostitutes in Amsterdam.

* SpecialAttack: '''{{Averted|Trope}}'''. There are no special moves.

* BadassMustache: All of the male opponents sport mustaches and in the case of the Lebanese fighters takes the form of BadassBeard.

** The German characters are a butler named Franz, who fights primarily by throwing bottles of wine, and his master Hans. The latter is a mustache and [[BuffySpeak afro-ish]] haired and lederhosen clad man who, to quote WebVideo/StuartAshen, "looks like an actor from a European seventies porno movie".
