One for the special shelf.Īll information taken from personal playing experience with the game, and official information published by SNK. This is a game that most collectors and gamers would like to own, with it's excellent yellow insert and equally good gameplay. There is no large difference between the cost of the US and Japanese versions. For example, Hotaru's coat will be pulled off by a flock of birds when entering her stage.Ī brand new, mint-condition home cart version of the game will cost the consumer an average $200, having come down in price recently from abour $500. Each stage features a character-specific introduction, followed by a special animation performed by that character (assuming they are fighting at their location). All are linked in some way to the character they represent: Terry, for example, fights on board a moving train, just as in Fatal Fury 2.

The backgrounds are suitably fitting, each filled with SNK's usual little details. The special effects the game uses - for example, projectile attacks - also stand out, making the player wonder just whether the game they're playing really is on a system released in 1990. None of the characters has been under-developed, either - all are equally as wonderfully drawn and animated. Each character has an amazing amount of animation, ranging from opening taunts for each bout to little incidental details such as Terry tightening his gloves after delivering his trademark Power Geyser. There are two other secret characters to list them here would spoil the surprise. Just wait until you see his version of the Rising Storm. Rock Howard: The son of the infamous Geese Howard, mixing some of his powerful moves with those of Terry.Much more like his father's style of Tae Kwon Do, he will be easy to pick up for veteran players, while still a good choice for a newcomer. Kim Jae Hoon: The more cautious of Kim's sons, using fire instead of lightning.Much more powerful than his female counterpart, but slower to make up for it, he can be lethal when you get used to him. Jenet: An interesting mix of fast standard moves and slower specials, she'll take time to master but can be difficult to beat in the hands of an expert. Tizoc: A wrestler in a bird mask, this grappler is slightly faster than one would expect, but certainly devestating with his command throws.Very fast, with a number of predefined combos, and some very cool special moves. Freeman: A psychopathic killer with more than a few similarities to one Iori Yagami, of KoF fame.He specialises in firey, over-powerful moves, although a faster character can get the better of him. Kevin Rian: The military man, although there are no " Sonic Booms" here.His style is barely recognisable to that of his master, however. Hokutomaru: Rumoured to be Andy Bogard's student, this Shiranui ninja uses a number of quick, if annoying, moves that are plain nasty at times.A pain to face when playing against the CPU a whole new level of defeat against a skilled human player. Khushnood Butt: A student of the Kyokugenryu school of Karate, and an extraordinarily jammy character to have to face.She can also reverse a projectile attack with her useful 'reflector' move. Hotaru Futaba: She may look as if she'll pose no challenge, but she has a number of fast and powerful moves up her sleeves.Using lightning-based attacks, he can still be a tough opponent, and if you want to win with a smug smile on your face, Dong Hwan's your man. Kim Dong Hwan: One of old favourite Kim Kaphwan's two sons, and the more arrogant of the two.Powerful in new and old hands, this SNK stalwart has an excellent offensive and defensive balance. Terry Bogard: The "Lonely Wolf" returns, minus his trademark Fatal Fury cap but still sporting his same-old moveset.This means you could start a round with a strength advantage, or wait until your life drops to make a stunning comeback. When their health enters this area, a number of bonuses will become active, lasting until it leaves this area. Upon selecting a character, the player will be asked to select a third of their life bar to be used as the "T.O.P." (Tactical Offensive Position).

The rest of the roster is made up partially of new characters, and partially from characters related to those from previous games. Set 10 years after the end of the Real Bout mini-series, it carries only one of the characters from previous installments, Terry Bogard.
