===== ABOUT SHADOW MASTER =====
Gameplay-wise, he has a lot of fast long-ranged basics which is ideal for attacking with "safety distance". Special moves include a Fireball which comes out a bit slow; a Charging Spear which comes out fast but misses crouching opponents; a Low Orb ground projectile that is good for going under the opponent's fireballs; and a Teleport move where he can reappear in different positions depending on the button used to do it... this move would be really good for a human player if it weren't for the debilitating half-circle motion required to do it combined with the game's somewhat strict command input timing.

Design-wise, he is based on the main antagonist in the Double Dragon animated TV series... which is himself.

===== ABOUT DDV: THE SHADOW FALLS =====
The game is based on the Double Dragon animated TV series which was broadcast back in 1993 and 1994. Many of the villain characters in the game are from the show.

The Double Dragon name has always been traditionally associated with being a scrolling beat-em-up... making this rendition somewhat unique as a 2D one-on-one fighter. The game uses an impressive 6-button attack system and features special moves and Overkill moves.
