Ring of Destruction: Slam Masters II/ Super Muscle Bomber Soundtrack

Capcom 1994

Voice Collection

Saturday Night Slam Masters, known in Japan as Muscle Bomber - The Body Explosion (マッスルボマー?), is a 1993 pro wrestling arcade game released for the CP System by Capcom. The game features character designs by manga artist Tetsuo Hara, famous for Fist of the North Star.

The game was followed by an upgraded version titled Muscle Bomber Duo in 1993, and a sequel called Ring of Destruction: Slam Masters II in 1994.

The original Slam Masters plays like a traditional wrestling game, only the game used a view similar to that commonly used in the fighting game genre. The game uses a three button configuration (grab, attack, and jump).

Each character has two special attacks: a non-grappling technique and a finisher. When an opponent's life meter is depleted, he must either be pinned for a three-count or forced to submit. Defeating all of the other wrestlers results in winning the championship belt, which must then be defended against the entire roster.

There are two game modes: Single Match, where the player fights in a series one-on-one matches against the CPU; and Team Battle Royal, where the player and another partner (controlled by another player or by the CPU) competes in a series of two-on-two matches. The game can be played by up to four players.

Biff Slamkovich (アレクセイ・ザラゾフ?, Aleksey Zalazof) In the Japanese version, Zalazof is a Russian wrestler who trained under Haggar. No such character connection is established in the English version, although Biff makes references to a "Comrade Zangief" in his losing quote.

Gunloc (ラッキー・コルト?, Lucky Colt) In the Japanese version, Colt is another apprentice of Haggar and Zalazof's rival, explaining the similar fighting styles. The English version implies that Gunloc is a relative of Guile (from Street Fighter II), a character relation that was mentioned again in the Street Fighter: The Movie arcade game.

The Great Oni (ミステリアス・ブドー?, Mysterious Budo)

Titanic Tim (タイタン・ザ・グレート?, Titan the Great)

El Stingray (エル・スティンガー?, El Stinger)

Mike "Macho" Haggar (マイク・マチョ・ハガー?)
Originally one of the main characters from Final Fight. The Japanese version establishes that Haggar's appearance in this game takes place before being elected Mayor in Final Fight. However, the English version refers to Haggar as the "former Mayor of Metro City". His daughter, Jessica (also from Final Fight), sometimes climbs to the ring to celebrate with him when he wins a match.

Alexander the Grater (シープ・ザ・ロイヤル?, Sheep the Royal)

King Rasta Mon ("ミッシングIQ" ゴメス?, "Missing IQ" Gomes)

Jumbo Flapjack (キマラ・ザ・バウンサー?, Kimala the Bouncer)

The Scorpion (アストロ?, The Astro) The game's final boss. The appearance of this character was inspired by the legendary "luchador" Tinieblas, one of the first Mexican wrestlers to tour Japan in 1974

All ten characters from the original Slam Masters returned, along with four new selectable characters:

* Victor Ortega (ヴィクター・オルテガ?) - A legendary champion wrestler who vanished from the ring for years and has come out of retirement. Ortega was the wrestler who appeared in the original game's opening intro. His special move is the backdrop.

* The Wraith (ザ・レイス?) - A supernatural-themed wrestler from New Delhi, India. His special move is the guillotine drop.

* Rip Saber (リップ・セイバー?) - A military-themed wrestler from Calgary, Canada who attacks with dangerous weapons.

* Black Widow (ブラック・ウィドー?) - A fully-costumed wrestler from Hanover, Germany with a spider-motif. Widow's ending reveals that she's actually a female wrestler in disguise. Her special move is the Frankensteiner.
