When possible, MAME uses original game manual details and parts breakdown to determine something is intended to be controlled with 4 directions, or 8-way.
The manual sheet for Kung-Fu Master clearly denotes 8-way control: http://www.gamesdatabase.org/Media/SYSTEM/Arcade//Manual/formated/Kung-Fu_Master_-_1984_-_Irem.pdf
