I've had a chance to play it, and for the most part it's an okay fighting game. It has okay visuals and animation, and the control is good and all....
But something seems to be missing from the game. The designs are all rather plain and drab, suprising for something based of Chinese mythology (the legend of Wong Fei Hong, the Journey to the west). And most of the characters moveset is rather bland too...
Nothing too bad, and worth a play for a bit...But it's not going to challenge the best of Capcom and SNK.
I agree. The designs were kind of drab. But Tiger looked pretty cool,and Crane looked cool,too.
And,yes,it will never challenge nothing that Capcom or SNK has offered. 
Onslaught: Yes,it does look like SF3 in a way,except without the cool backgrounds.

| "My arcade has martial masters, i'll post..." , posted Mon 11 Mar 09:52
My local arcade (Johnny Zee's, Victoria BC lol) has this game, so I'll post everything i know...
4 buttons, placement like tekken. Punches on top, kicks on bottom (i think???)
Game Systems:
Weird rolling moves: There's a couple of strange evade tactics that I use alot, but aren't very useful on the whole. Pressing lk+hp makes you roll back a little, then short jump forward (i think). There's another rolling move that rolls you forward, i believe, but I really can't remember. Think of these moves as rolls/short jumps in CvS2, only basically useless lol.
Annoying throw commands: IIRC, throws are performed by pressing f+pk. I can't remember the exact commands for the life of me, all i know is that this made it VERY hard to throw. Throwing just threw me off my gameplan.
Shadow Moves: Not only are there regular super moves in this game, there are things called "shadow moves". It's basically a custom combo where only the shadows attack, and you stand still. Basically Cable's TimeFlip for every character. Everyone has two, but I really can't remember too many of them. Generally one is a close-up rushdown, and the other is either projectile or full screen rush.
Characters: It's been a while, so forgive me is these descriptions are quite bad...
Drunken Master: yes, that is his name. This game has absolutely horrid, generic traslations...(the win quotes are all "Train harder" or "Good Match". No personality, sadly...)
Anyways, he has lots of wild spinning rush-combo moves, a move where he swings his sake bottle around, and a counter move which is pretty sweet; he starts drinking and if you hit him, he spits in your face LOL.
Supers: One crazy sake swing for 15 hits, and a super counter that looks like his regular counter at the start, but if you hit him he does a headbutt for BIG damage...
Crane: A girl with crazy animation; i'm ashamed to say this, but her stance is like in that Shakira video where she flaps her arms like a bird? god i'm a loser...
Moves: Picture Ibuki with Terry's rising tackle. Couple moves where she throws her feathers, and an exact copy of the rising tackle. Can't remeber any supers or shadow moves...
Monk: Ah, the only guy i use (big guys rule!) Dressed like Caffiene Gaira, but bald. Has some odd moves...
Moves:
Kettle Drop: He prays, and a kettle dings them in the head! Basically exactly like Anakaris Coffin Drop. Button Determines distance, uses punches AND kicks. Incredibly punishable if blocked.
Earthquake: Punches ground a la Jax. wp makes it very close range and quick, hp makes it almost full screen
Flashy Kicks: Nothing special. Kicks up from the ground spraying dust. Combos well.
Flashy punches: he punches flasy, and combo well...
Two command throws: I think it's two...one he grabs them like Sagat choke-style, then punches them in the stomach. I think the other one tosses them into the wall, but I can't remember.
Super Moves:
Super Kettle Drop: Like Kobun (servebot) worst super, wher all the guys drop from the roof. Decent, but very punsihable.
Rush: Just rushes and attacks.
Shadow Moves: One is close range combo, other one is SWEET anti-air, cause the shadow just runs forward. Like the Magnetic Shockwave.
Monkey Boy: LOL, monkey boy. Don't see much of him; his throw is he jumps on their head and bites them. his stage is like oro's lots of animals all around. One of his sueprs is like Legion, all his animal buddies run out. Somehow, and I can't remember for the life of me, he uses fruit...either to throw, or drop from celing...
Priest Guy (Tiger was mentioned...): Never used him. Reminds me of dudley from what i've seen though...Blonde hair w/ponytail, business suit with rolled sleeves, cross and bible.
Kung Fu guy: Can't remember, but I think this is the master hwang aforementioned. Has lots of Yuns move, rolling kick and i think dash punch too.
A black pirate: His name has something to do with Fist or Punch, but I can't remember. Sweet fighting stance, on his toes with his arms round like he was holding a barrel. The computer always hits me on the ground when I fight him; maybe his specials are all when opponent knocked down? Who knows?
Annoying Bao-alike: Little guy/girl, with only *real* fireball in game; looks like ryu's. One of the shadow moves is like a ryu rapid fireball custom; tre annoying...
Snake-fist Gypsy-girl: No, not real name lol. I see a lot of her. Does lots of fast, snak-fist strikes. One of her shadow moves hits low for lots of quick hits.
Lotus Master: Pretty intenses, I think he's the boss. He looks like one of the Russian Thistles from the Nutcracker part in Fantasia, but with a buffed out man-body. His moves all involve tossing flowers, and flying as well if i'm not mistaken.
Graphics: Decent, but not fantastic. Some characters (Crane, Drunken Master) are animated VERY well, but the rest are I'd say around SFA level. Different art style, though. imagine bad SF3, basically.
Game in a nutshell: Decent, but it does get old quick, especially playing the computer. No human opponents + no real character = not as fun as I'd like. Anyways, someone fill in the gaps for me!
Bolischoy Tavieda!
Owhyawhyawhyawhya!
