Asuka 120% was produced by just two full-time programmers who comprised Fill-in-Cafe. After the developers moved on to Treasure, the Asuka 120% input system influenced future Treasure fighting games. Development for the X68000 was done by Mad Stalker and for the PlayStation by Makeruna! Makendō 2: Kimero Youkai Souri for Fill-in-Cafe (which went bankrupt around 1998).
