I had never seen those Japanese commercials man those were legendary and funny as hell! I appreciate you taking the time to provide a timeline, development information and details about the Fatal Fury games. Here in the US it just doesn't get enough love and gets often drowned out by the Street Fighter series so this is a real treat being a fan of the series and younger gamers should understand and learn the importance of Fatal Fury as well. 😎
It's hilarious how fake the punches are LOL. SNK did a ton of ridiculous live action commercials for not only the Fatal Fury series, but Art of Fighting and Samurai Shodown as well.
While I prefer the Real Bout games, FFS is truly great too! It oozes early 90s vibes and has an amazing soundtrack with tight gameplay in the controls!
FFSpecial is one of my favorite games. It's visual style and music are appealing to me even more than later games in series. I still play it frequently.
Long live Fatal Fury! One of the first ever franchises of fighting games I've ever came across, with my SNES. I just want SNK to do a better job in portraying the other 2 of the main 3 (Andy and Joe). It has been long overdue for these 2 to also shine. Let it be in COTW. Please SNK, don't fumble the ball 🙌🏼🙏🏼
definitely one of my favorite fighters out of the earlier years of the NEO*GEO stuff! certainly felt like their version of SF2 turbo with the new characters and moves. also I do remember the anime movie. been many years but maybe I need to look it up again.
I was completely fine with the motion picture that we ended up getting but I would have loved to have seen what they scrapped where Mr Big was the main antagonist and we were going to have King and Eiji in there with a Ryo teaming up with Terry.
FFS was where I stepped in, I was at like a sports/physical rehab resort with my granma for a week or two one summer, I took a tennis course as I recall, but much better I remember that at the side of the lobby was a singular cabinet that I probably sunk more coins into than any other SNK machine at least 'till I found a Samurai Shodown 2 machine in an arcade I could take a bus to. lol
Great video, Thank you for educating us all about our favorite games :) I have one question about the Marketing of this game. I saw a clip of Nagayo Chigusa from the time of this game's release.where she came to the ring in Gear similar to Krauser's with a small SNK flag on the back, was Nagayo part of the advertising campaign as well?
Fatal Fury The Motion Picture is one of my favorites movies 😊 It was my introduction to Masami Obari and his works (even the H stuff) 😊 Not kidding, him and Go Nagai made me a fan of ecchi comedy and art. NSFW IS ART. People should stop saying that it isn't.
Very detailed and informative video with a lot of research and media. Really instructive. Thank you for the presentation ^_^ Overall, I prefer the first real bout for its design, three planes and out of bounds system but this FFS seems a great evolution.
Happy 30th Anniversary Fatal Fury Special, World Heroes 2 and Fighter's History 🎉🎂 While I am glad that SNK is making the new Fatal Fury game and is thinking of making a new Art of Fighting, as an ADK fan I am just sad that SNK is not interested in bringing back World Heroes and other ADK franchises (I really want another Twinkle Star Sprites) 😢😞 For those who don't know, ADK went bankrupt and SNK bought their IPs. Edit: World Heroes is older than Art of Fighting!
Back in the days, we could rent games for extended period of time. I remember, 1 year, for my fathers summer, he rented FFSpecial for the whole week. I was REALLY good at video games. Like in all of my friends i was the best at fighting games. My dad sucked. But he asked me not to give him any chances. He wanted to learn and legit beat me. And so for 1 week, i taught him how to play. Bu the end of the week, he was able to beat me. Well, it wasnt for sure, but ue coyld really give me a run for my money. The only time i had quality time with my dad. I remember it to this day.
In snes i remember you can hold "a" button for 5 second to execute a special move. All character have 1 special moves that attach to the 5 second "a" button. And I like to use jubei for that. Coz his moves will be grappling moves. And he will grap even from far away like guile throw cheating moves. Lol So my jubei just jump up side and down sides while hold "a" button then release the button and opponent will eat my grappling special moves
Small trivia. DATA EAST's *Fighter's History* is the first fighting game that has a guest character NOT Fatal Fury Special. The Final Boss of the game, Karnov, appeared before in an arcade game called KARNOV and after that he was doing cameos in other DATA EAST games. Fighter's History and Fatal Fury Special released the same year (1993). FH released months earlier than FFS Edit: A bit of justice for Fighter's History please. Thanks to that obscure game, the fighting game genre was saved. Thanks for everything DATA EAST 😢
Though I’ll always prefer Street Fighter, I’ll always love what Fatal Fury/ King of Fighters have to offer. They have really cool titles, for starters. “Art of Fighting”? Forget about it. All fire.
It looks rough but it’s super interesting when you give it a chance. There are stuff from this game that inspired a lot of latter games mainly the Guilty Gear series. There are stuff that’s still only found in this game and nowhere else.
I really don't want games to look pretty anymore. This game is exceptional because I understand snk tried to keep the original art style fatal fury one. I like the dirty gritty stamp looking bloodface portraits. Heck, can we get a post stamp made for these? Terry board is an American red white and blue? Lol
From what I remember there were always 2 arcades at the store. It was SFII and Wrestlefest at the start. After street fighter II they brought fatal fury but it wasn't popular enough so they brought street fighter II champion edition next to Wrestlefest. they brought MK in place of champion edition. Mk had a crowd at first and it died down. Then they brought World Heroes in the place of Wrestlefest and it had a big crowd. They then brought World Heroes 2 Jet and it was just as popular. Mk arcade was taken out and they brought Samurai Shodown. World Heroes 2 jet was replaced by MKII. Samurai shodown was replaced with KOF94. MKII was replaced by MK3 and Kof94 by Samurai shodown III. MK3 was replaced with ultimate mk3. After Samurai shodown III was replaced with X-Men: cota. Honestly World Heroes was more popular than fatal fury. I can't really say they brought another fatal fury after ff1. When ever they brought sequels it was bcuz the titles left money. Obviously mk brought the most money since they brought 4 arcades of it. Last arcades I remember were marvel superheroes and kof97.
I like Street Fighter II more than SNK fighters but I do love Terry and Geese and I admit I do love Fatal Fury 2 , Fatal Fury Special and last but not least Fatal Fury 3
Fatal Fury Special is my favorite in the Fatal Fury series (Real Bout Fatal Fury Special is a close second). But on the handhelds (Game Gear & Gameboy), it's the opposite for me. Real Bout Fatal Fury Special on the Gameboy is #1 with Fatal Fury Special on the Game Gear at #2. The spread on the handhelds isn't close though. I feel Real Bout Fatal Fury Special on the Gameboy is much better than Fatal Fury Special on the Game Gear. Both games are incredibly impressive 8-bit handheld conversions of the Neo-Geo originals.
Fatal Fury special shatters my expectations with Spectacular graphics and STUNNING gameplay A revamp version of the already excellent Fatal fury 2, this is a classic snk fighting game of all time Snk the neo geo is the greatest of all time
Every garou was great as well as the other titles in this great multiverse perhaps it needs to stay a little bit secretive so what doesn't never Go woke I do not want the women to be fully clothed I don't want the men to be feminine just want a decent fighting game beatemups should be the next wave the show one-on-one stuff is just too overplayed sen Goku needs life ikari warriors ninja commando and combat aggressors of dark Kombat could be turned into something like yu yu would be interesting
Great job on the video! One of my favourite Fatal Fury games!
Movies were really awesome. It shows how terry became the legendary wolf not just by defeating geese.
FF2 OVA may just be better than the excellent SF2 OVA 👍
@@TexasHollowEarthYES, STILL ONE OF MY 90S ANIME FAVORITES!!!

I saw the machine once in the Mardyke arcade in Cork, Ireland.

4:04 Teili ! Arndi ! Gio !
Special is one of my favorite Fatal Fury games. Always love going back to it.
Excellent video. Every NeoGeo owner always say they want FFSpecial as one of their 1st games. I've been a fan since I 1st saw it back in the day
My favorite game to be honest.
hoping that the game mark of the wolf 2 will be well received by players that SNK will also do a mark of the wolf special
A shame we never got that Fatal Fury/Art of Fighting team up movie.
Agreed :( Although i have to say that i do love the movie as is.
definitely one of my favorite fighters out of the earlier years of the NEO*GEO stuff! certainly felt like their version of SF2 turbo with the new characters and moves. also I do remember the anime movie. been many years but maybe I need to look it up again.
At least my favourite snk game, great video!!
It absolutely is a masterpiece!
I was completely fine with the motion picture that we ended up getting but I would have loved to have seen what they scrapped where Mr Big was the main antagonist and we were going to have King and Eiji in there with a Ryo teaming up with Terry.
What a great video, subscribed.

This is my favourite game in the series, and I just got back into it on the PS4.

NSFW IS ART.
People should stop saying that it isn't.
The GameGear version is my favourite handheld fighting game to this day. Glad you mentioned it.
4:23 this is supposed to be Burn Knuckle, but it looks like Tiger Drop.

Excellent video.
Good infomation.
This was Fatal Fury 2 Champion Edition lol
Fatal fury motion picture is top 10 anime movies of all time.
Great video, I learned a lot.
These games made me love SNK for life...
Great video man. I still haven't beaten Fatal Fury special. Especially Ryo. That game is difficult
I bought a complete SNES copy last year for the collection. Great fighter and people still play it through Fightcade.
Excellent
Definitely subscribed 😎
Excellent vid
Great video!!!

Now I wish they had gone with the Mr Big story for the movie then the original villains

Interesting, Data East also created the Double Dragon games or at least the creator worked there.
Still, Karnov was unplayable so he only partially counts.
good video👍
This games is the same as KOF there’s no way SNK planning to remake this.
'Special' was my favorite Fatal Fury.
It is still popular to this day in Japan!

Those TV CMs were the best!!!
A truly Special game ❤
Los OVAS son buenos y la película es aún mejor!.
Me quedé con las ganas de una segunda película que incluyera a Blue Mary...
SNK needs to update Fatal Fury Special for mobile phones and add Bluetooth support for it. It needs an ACA Neogeo port for mobile phones.
This is why it should be ryu and terry, and not ken and terry. They are pioneer of FGC
I remember that the adults were playing FFS and I was thinking... The game is so awesome but so hard.
snk success is King of fighters
Nice
Ryo Sakazaki
All terry girls died in the movies
Joe actually looks like Joe in the live movie, Andy looks like a porn actor and Terry looks like a homeless, sorry but he doesn’t look like Terry 😅
REMAKE THIS VIDEOGAME,
PLEASE !!
I like Street Fighter II more than SNK fighters but I do love Terry and Geese and I admit I do love Fatal Fury 2 , Fatal Fury Special and last but not least Fatal Fury 3
Fatal Fury Special is my favorite in the Fatal Fury series (Real Bout Fatal Fury Special is a close second).

A revamp version of the already excellent Fatal fury 2, this is a classic snk fighting game of all time
Snk the neo geo is the greatest of all time
Why is this game so damn difficult? It's like playing MK II Arcade version 😅
Damn original idea of 3rd movie was awesome so sad
I wish we could see the initial project for the 3rd FF anime. I am not a big fan of the FF motion picture anime
It is a piece of wood. Designed by dogs.
.. the 80s martial arts film damsel BOGO thus inspired the institution of the now passed dollar menu,
Every garou was great as well as the other titles in this great multiverse perhaps it needs to stay a little bit secretive so what doesn't never Go woke I do not want the women to be fully clothed I don't want the men to be feminine just want a decent fighting game beatemups should be the next wave the show one-on-one stuff is just too overplayed sen Goku needs life ikari warriors ninja commando and combat aggressors of dark Kombat could be turned into something like yu yu would be interesting
The lines really spoilt tge game as a snk fan i have to admit but the first time i saw FFS in the arcade my mind was blown,been a snk fan ever since.
The fatal fury game apart from garou!
The game is too hard.
