More serious then a heart attack? More like it feels like a heart attack when you play it. This game is the worst

[DoomieJ]

shaq fu its almost as good as SF:TM:TG. ALMOST!

[DJGoblin]

taken from the liberators of shaq fu:

Picture this: 1994. The United States was slowly moving toward the economic boom of the late 90's. It was the beginning of a golden age that would be remembered for years. At the same time, a young powerful basketball player was in his second year in the NBA. He was becoming an instant star and served as the savior of the ailing Orlando Magic. Shaquille O'Neal.

At the time, people wanted to see more Shaq. They loved Shaq so much that they would do anything Shaq told them to. Shaq went on to begin his merchandising in an effort to please the needs of the people. He decided to rap, releasing the album called: Shaq-Fu. At the time, people really enjoyed it. Shaq was a big star and just him on the stage made them giddy. He also created a video game called Shaq-Fu. The people enjoyed it. GamePro Magazine gave the game a 4.5 overall. Riding on this high, Shaq went on to create the movies: Kazaam and Steel. Everything was going well for Shaq. The people loved him and Shaq loved the people.

Now skip to the year 2009. The economic boom is over and United States is bitter and cynical. Shaquille O'Neal is no longer worshipped by the people. In fact, very few people still pay attention to the NBA. Looking back, the citizens of the USA realize how awful some of Shaq's accomplishments really were. Sure Shaq rapped but was it really that good? No. The people say no. The movies Kazaam and Steel have lost their luster. They are now considered some of the worst, hokiest movies ever to defile the screen. And then there's Shaq-Fu, the video game...

Shaq probably has forgotten he ever created this game. Shaq-Fu has to be the worst fighting game in the history of fighting games. In 1994, America could buy it. America thought it was alright and America could tolerate it. Well, America, tolerate it no more! It is time for us to make up for the mistakes of the past. It is time for us to fight back against the mindless merchandising.

So how do we do this?

Shaqfu.com's mission is to LIBERATE all the copies of Shaq-Fu from existence by buying them from anyone who owns the game, including local console retailers, Ebay merchants, normal citizens, and the like. Here are reasons why this is important:

Reasons for LIBERATING:

You prevent other generations from feeling the corruption of this game and its evil.

You clear up the enormous copies of Shaq-Fu lying on the shelves in used console game stores. By doing so, you remove it from public display so that people will not be reminded of the game's existence.

Purchasing many copies of the game shifts the demand schedule, consequently raising the price. Even though it costs you more money, it reduces the incentive for a non-liberator to buy the game; a worthwhile sacrifice.

By getting it from another person, you remove the burden and embarrassment they feel.

The reasons go on and on. Shaq-Fu must be eliminated for everyone to feel at peace. This website discusses the methods of how to obtain copies and how to dispose and/or make use of the copies obtained. It also serves as the front line for the Shaq-Fu Liberation Front. Here, you will be able to obtain current numbers of Shaq-Fu copies liberated, as well as membership for the Shaq-Fu Liberation Front. With your help, we may be able to obtain a Shaq-Fu-free world for our childen to grow up in. Join today and help our cause!

Get your copies before they disappear from the liberators!

[Chuchulachu]

This game needs more hype:toot:

[DJGoblin]

It really does. This game was so top tier back in the day. Do you remember how many front flips shaq can do!?

[Sileh]

Wasn't there supposed to be a sequel to this?

[Crazy Bat Guy]

Wasn't there supposed to be a sequel to this?

Yes but Shaq-fu is too awesome to be outdone. Whenever they tried to plan the sequel Shaq-fu 1 kicked the door in and killed everyone with a single front flip.

[EternalLurker]

So I decided to check out Shaq-Fu because it's supposed to be so bad. (Shaq-Fu fans: read as "so badass")

So...............................is it just me or is the Control Setup feature in Options just for show? Because it seems to be ignoring everything I set up. Repeatedly. D:

[KrazySh0t]

No that is just the game. It ignores everything you do regardless if you went into options or not. The game works better as a paperweight and since snes/genesis games aren't very heavy, that gives you an idea of what I'm talking about.

[EternalLurker]

Paperweight, eh? I'll try that out! Of course, my game's a ROM, but how hard can it be? Easier than getting it to listen to my control schemes, at least.

[ilikeusingdizzy]

you think people can get the game and alter it,so that it responds to your commands? because i really do want to play this game.

[killionaire]

My brother managed to get the game uploaded onto a PSP.. Because I like to submit myself to masochistic amounts of frustration and rage when I play terrible games on the NES, I decided to try it out.. Needless to say, now I want to murder the people who made this game. My desire to do this is even more so than the forced disposal of Jason Friedburg and Aaron Seltzer. Also, what is the 2nd world? EDIT: Oh, and in case you're wondering, it's the control scheme and unrealistic Fg (Force of gravity) that primarily ruin the game.. Although that's not mentioning the load of secondary issues that make it even more unworkable. And this, my friends, is why basketball players don't make good fighting game characters.. They aren't too good as actors, either. EDIT2: Oh, and sorry for not riding the sarcasm bandwagon. Figured that I should probably put down the first constructive post in this whole thread.

[EternalLurker]

And this, my friends, is why basketball players don't make good fighting game characters.. They aren't too good as actors, either.

Someone hasn't played Chaos in the Windy City. That rendition of Jordan would be the best fighting game character ever created, bar none.

[Taokaka_Boom!]

If only Michael Jackson had a fighting game.

Micheal Jackson actually has a game i think it's called Moonwalker or something like that

[Hebi]

i never play this why because i was too afraid.

[A.J.]

Hey man, don't diss the Shaq Shuffle.
