Fighter's History[a] is a series of fighting games that were produced by Data East during the 1990s. The original Fighter's History was first released for the arcades in 1993 and ported to the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1994. Two different sequels were produced: Karnov's Revenge (aka Fighter's History Dynamite in Japan) for the Neo Geo in 1994, followed by Fighter's History: Mizoguchi Kiki Ippatsu!!, released in Japan for the Super Famicom in 1995.
The main unique feature of the Fighter's History series is its "weak point system". By repeatedly hitting an opponent's weak point, the player can temporarily stun them once per round, leaving the opponent open for an attack. The location of an opponent's weak spot varies with each character and is usually represented by a specific article of clothing (e.g. a headband, a vest, a mask).
