Fighter's History is a 1993 arcade fighting game developed and published by Data East. It is the inaugural game in the Fighter's History series. The main unique feature of the Fighter's History is its weak point system, which allows the player to temporarily stun an opponent by repeatedly hitting their weak point.
Fighter's History was the subject of a lawsuit against Data East by Capcom, who claimed the game infringed on the copyright of its game Street Fighter II. The case was found in Data East's favor, as the court found that the copied elements were scenes a faire, elements necessary for depicting the scenario. Fighter's History was ported to the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1994, and followed by a sequel, Karnov's Revenge, for the Neo Geo.
