There’s yet another new theme to play with, this time celebrating the return of the Duck King to Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves.
Next up, fun facts (aka Trivia, aka Cameos) have also returned to the site so there should be a little more info on .
Finally, the front page got a redesign allowing easier access to things that have been updated on the fightabase. This should also have a positive effect on performance as wel
Drop on by the discord, why don’t ya?
With my mind outside of the SHELTER for the first time in months, I’ve been using the extra brain cycles to put in some improvements around here. Bug fixes, formatting, etc but look at this, Doom!
Yes, I am a big fan of Tokon, so I needed to do a theme and when I was submitting story information I realized there was only one choice. I will probably do an avatar theme next, but I don’t really have an idea yet only Doom.
More features and fixes will roll out for as long as I’ve got the time and the drive to do them, make sure you join us on discord if you have something you want to see or say.
For the last year or so I’ve been pouring my development time and energy into another game development project, Guests of SHELTER. It’s a cozy / puzzle game not a fighting game so I won’t dwell, but I am very proud of it and I would be super appreciative if you could give it a try. You can download the current alpha version of it (for free) over on itch:

In the coming weeks, I’ll be getting back to updating fightabase and some other projects I’ve been neglecting for SHELTER. Check out the Fight-A-Base Youtube playlist on my channel for my content and other fighting game vids I’ve posted lately:
Long long ago, SNK and Capcom delivered a crossover gaming experience unlike any other. Then they made a sequel to that experience that improved on the formula in every way. Then… they apparently lost interest in the franchise and left us to rely on emulation and fan translation. That game was Card Fighters Clash: Expand Edition.
Since then, I have been attempting to reboot / recreate this card collecting masterpiece in every language and platform I’ve ever learned. I am pleased to FINALLY say, the first public release of CFC is available for download here:
http://www.tru-warriors.net/cfc/CFCAlpha0825.zip
CFC is built in the GODOT engine and should run comfortably on any Windows 10+ machine. Installation is a simple as downloading and unzipping, then run CFC.EXE to play. There is a readme.txt file included if you’d like more details on how to play, known bugs, and whats next.
Though CFC incorporates elements from the entire Card Fighters Clash series, the cards and gameplay are based on Card Fighters Clash: Expand Edition. Please Note: CFC is currently an alpha release, meaning much of the gameplay is buggy, incomplete, or temporary.
If you have any feedback or want to check in with me on what’s next, please head over to our Discord.
Thank you so much for playing!
Greetings fellow fighters, Fenix (admin) here. Recently, I posted a video on my Youtube channel about the Stop Killing Games movement. It goes over the SKG initiative in depth, but it also provides the first real update on the game I’ve been developing called CFC.
In summary, SKG is coming to close this month and still desperately needs your help. If you live in the EU / UK and believe in video game preservation, please take a look at https://www.stopkillinggames.com and get involved.
CFC on the other hand will be seeing its first (Alpha) release by the end of this month, so there’s a lot of news about that.
Please check out the video for more concrete details on both, the link is here; https://youtu.be/Gl3HshCGaF0
We will keep returning, every time.

Another thing that I’m pretty sure nobody had on their bingo cards for this year: 1997 comedy MS-DOS fighter Fight ‘N’ Jokes, which did get a small revival of sorts in the last few years to the tune of upgraded ports to consoles, is getting an adventure spin-off based on the game called Fight ‘N’ Jokes: Storylines. The game is episodic, and the first chapter will focus on Miopinja.
For those unfamiliar, Fight ‘N’ Jokes was released by Nasty Brothers on DOS 27 years ago and was an early attempt at skewing other fighting games and popular culture in general. It is often compared to as “ClayFighter without the clay” but that feels kind of reductive, given that it stands on its own and there just wasn’t too much like these titles already on the market; most comedy fighters were self-referential or just had humor elements as opposed to parodying specific tropes. Furthermore, Fight ‘N’ Jokes poked more fun at the genre than ClayFighter did.
The 2021 revival and this subsequent spinoff come after a series of failed attempts by Mental Drink to revitalize the brand as ToonFighterZ back in the early-mid aughts, with DSiWare and iPhone versions that were announced and had evaporated.
