Talk:Tattoo Assassins

Release info question...
Why does this game have a 2008 publish date, and why is it listed as being on the Nintendo DS platform? Where are the citations? Is this a result of vandalism?


 * It's definitely vandalism by 67.87.69.5. I'm going to request a block for that IP. Duo02 *dilly-dally shilly-shally** 23:45, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

OK, here's the deal on Christine Dupree. She was a Penthouse Pet of the Month in 1985 (same issue as one of the nude Madonna pictorials that came out that year, so a lot of people have the issue). I don't know if she was ever a porn star, but it is possible. She is definitely now a nude wrestler. I'll let the Wikipedia editors figure out how to incorporate this information.

Mugen Question
Does anyone know where to find Mugen character files for this game? Daniel Benfield (talk) 05:48, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
 * This is not a forum, this is a place to discuss about the article. The only Tattoo Assassins MUGEN creation ever made was the Blood-Fueled Ink stage (the one in the article's screenshot) converted and uploaded by Kung Fu Man at his website, Random Select.

Protagonist/Mascot
Who exactly is the protagonist (e.g. Liu Kang) or mascot (e.g. Pikachu) of this game? Parrothead1983 (talk) 02:49, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Screen Shot
In the screen shot it appears that one of the sub bosses (Prizm) is a playable character. Who posted the picture? There seems to be no info about this anywhere on the net. 03:19, 7 April 2010 (UTC)~ —Preceding unsigned comment added by Paula Bunion (talk • contribs)

Fatalities
From what I can tell, the "2196 Fatalities" is pure marketing hyperbole, gotten through a combination of bad math and a typo. There's 23 "universal" fatalities that all nine characters can do, one fatality that five characters can do, one fatality that three characters can do, and 26 fatalities that can be performed by one character each, for a grand total of only 51 different fatalities.

But I think they calculated the number deceptively to inflate it, like so:

I suspect they multiplied the number of fatalities by the number of characters that can do them and addded those numbers together together (i.e., 23*9 + 1*5 + 1*3 + 26*1) to get 241, and then multiplied that by the number of characters you can use the fatalities on (so using a fatality on, say, A.C. Current is counted separately from using the same fatality on Derek O'Toole), and you get 241 * 9 = 2169, which is almost the number claimed except for transposing the last two digits, which is where the "typo" comes in.

This is original research and theorizing, of course, so I'm not adding it to the article, but I did alter the wording of the article because there are definitely not 2196 fatalities by any stretch of the imagination. - Wrassedragon (talk) 18:26, 16 March 2019 (UTC)
