So today, my favorite Filipino Hairdresser, Chris, came over for a playdate. While here, he rebuilt a G07-CAO that was sitting in my $10 Karate Champ. After dialing in a perfect picture and adjusting the old switcher, the game played perfectly. I then proceeded to try and play several games while trying to read the massive instruction/ joystick combo list. Though the computer regularly handed my ass to me, I actually really enjoyed playing. Fun game.
 
Does my backflip to a back kick move still hold up? :)

I liked jumping over my opponent and giving them A nice kick in the back!
 
dammitt knew I should have snagged it a while back when it was available near me.......what about kung fu master?????? i know yie ar kung fu blows goats for quarters......
 
I'll still be damned if I can figure out if I'm supposed to avoid or punch the flying pots, the bulls, etc. in the bonus rounds or whatever. Drops me like a stone every time.

That bonus stage is called EVADE, so you need to avoid the flying objects. I can do it every 6th or 7th attempt. The bulls you need to punch. It's tough to time it, but I get it every so often too.

Karate Champ was my first arcade game and still one of my favorites. We played this all the time BITD. Now that I have the HSS Kit, I've been playing it a lot lately.
 
Are you sure your supposed to evade them? I was able to evade them all once and I don't think I got any points for it, but when I kick or punch the plants/pots I get 200 points for each one. I have never hit them all yet to see if you get a bonus or not.

That's what I'm talking about.

Well, like I said, it's called EVADE so I've always avoided them. You get the "VERY GOOD!" in the top right and 2000 points when you evade them all.
