Dot Fighters is a 2006 2D Fighter Maker doujin game by Takase, the guy who made Arm Joe. It only contains 4 characters drawn in an extremely retro, pixel-art style. Despite the small amount of content, it is pretty infamous for its larger filesize. It contains a full soundtrack and voice acting. The game requires that your computer's locale be set to Japanese in order to play. Looks can be quite deceiving with Dot Fighters, as it actually contains a fairly complex gameplay system, which is arguably better designed than Arm Joe's. Unfortunately, Takase has retained the same design ethic for Dot Fighter resulting in vastly overpowered characters and moves.

Arm Joe, also known as ArmJoe, is a fighting game based on the novel and musical Les Misérables, made in a fighting game engine maker by ASCII: "Tsukuru" series "Fighter Maker", by Takase, who also made the game Dot Fighters. There are ten characters to choose from, and they fight each other one on one, using the formula Street Fighter and Street Fighter 2 established. Characters are mostly characters from Les Misérables. Each character has special moves inspired by that character's role in the story. There's a special condition where characters are about to die (their health draining away) in which they are much more powerful and have infinite special power: the opponent has to avoid those special attacks until that character dies. This sometimes gives the advantage to players who reach low life first. There is also a practice mode, where the player can learn how to perform the special moves of each character.
