Fatal Fury 2 USA

Fatal Fury 2 USA, known as Garō Densetsu 2: Aratanaru Tatakai (餓狼伝説２ ～新たなる闘い～, Hungry Wolf Legend 2: The New Battle) in Japan, is a 1992 fighting video game released by SNK for the Neo Geo arcade and home platforms, and later ported to several other home systems. It is the sequel to Fatal Fury: King of Fighters (1991) and the second game in the Fatal Fury2 franchise. Its updated version, Fatal Fury Special, was released in 1993.

The game introduced Kim Kaphwan, the first Taekwondo and the first Korean character in fighting games, and Mai Shiranui, one of SNK’s mascots, their primary sex symbol, and one of the most well-known female video game characters. Both of them went on to become mainstays in both Fatal Fury games as well as The King of Fighters series.

Gameplay – Fatal Fury 2 USA

Fatal Fury 2 was the second game in SNK‘s 100-Mega Shock series, offering improved graphics and gameplay over the original Fatal Fury 2 King of Fighters. The play controls were modified, this time making full use of the Neo-Geo’s four button configuration, by including four attack buttons (Light Punch, Light Kick, Strong Punch, and Strong Kick). The player can also dash back from the opponent to retreat by quickly tapping the lever backwards twice.^[1]

The two-plane battle system from the first Fatal Fury 2 USA has been retained. This time, the player can move freely to the adjacent plane by pressing the Light Punch and Light Kick buttons simultaneously for the “Plane Move”. The player can also perform a “Power Attack” that will knock the opponent to the other plane. When the opponent is on the other plane, the player can press either a punch button to jump towards the opponent with a “Low Plane Move Attack” or either a kick button for a “High Plane Move Attack”. Certain stages have hazards in the background plane, such as electrified wires or a stampede of bulls, and thus the player cannot change planes but can knock the opponent to the other plane to cause extra damage.
