Made in December 1994. Dan-Ku-Ga is an updated prototype version of "Kaiser Knuckle".


This prototype is very different to Kaiser Knuckle:

* Before your game, you choose the difficulty level Normal, Professional, or Training.

* At the character selection screen : Kazuya, Lihua and Liza have been redesigned, all others have different costume colors.

* Gonzales and Azteca are playable.

* The 5th opponent is Gonzales, the 9th opponent is Azteca and the 10th opponent is your Doppelganger.

* The CPU AI has been altered somewhat.

* You can backdash with all characters.

* You can't select the first opponent in 1P vs. CPU mode.

* A medic comes out to check on the defeated opponent after the final round.
