This is the "Fatal Fury" Entry where Blue Mary and Ryuji Yamazaki became Fan-Favorite Characters and that's how they made their Appearances in the "King of Fighters" series.
Yep. Great point. And Blue Mary only got hotter with subsequent appearances.
Still wish they woulda brought back Duck King for this entry though.
Definitely an underrated entry to the series. It's only major flaw was not including Duck King.
I would've said Kim Kaphwan, but yeah.
This was my first Fatal Fury. Short answer: hidden gem. The stage progression, the music, the story and also the hidden bosses. All really awesome.
Facts and it has the best music, atmosphere and aesthetics in the series.
@@kaceejones2282I would burn the fatal fury 3 music on cds or add them to my cheap ipod imitation. The good ol days
The voice announcer was my favorite in this. Love how he says Pao Pao Cafe. This guy had to been a sports commentator at one time. I'm surprised he wasn't assigned for a Baseball Stars title.
I love how much Brazilians love Sega and SNK, they are totally enthralled by this shit and I am all for it.
I always preferred Street Fighter and MK as a kid, but Fatal Fury and Samurai Shodown holds a special place for me as well. =)
Interesting how both Street Fighter and Fatal Fury had Brazilian characters. Although I could never figure out why SNK decided on the name "Bob Wilson" for a Brazilian character lol
@@elgatofelix8917Roberto Wilson would be a correct Brazilian name
@@elgatofelix8917at least it seems SNK put a bit more effort when they include Marco in Mark of the Wolves. I remember watching a Brazilian TH-camr talking about Brazilian characters in video games and I think he said it was a breath of fresh air seeing a Brazilian fighter who wasn't a capoeira practitioner. Though SNK had some troubles with his name, they changed his named to Kushnood Butt because Marco Rodriguez was kind of similar to a real-life martial artist, but it seems there wasn't a problem, however, Rodriguez is a Spanish surname, they later corrected it to the Portuguese-accurate Rodrigues
@@pablocasas5906 SNK made a error with a Brazilian named BUTT. Marco isn't a real name in Brazil (but I know 2 persons with this name). The normal one is MarcoS. Brazilian said the companies make black guys fighters, but here we have white, indians and others (mulatos/pardos)
An underrated gem, thats for sure. Just like World Heroes Perfect and Art of Fighting 3.
For me its the best one. I have the original AES cart still. The intro, character select, stages, win quotes.. its full of charm. Also the introduction of Yamazaki and Blue Mary.
I had a *REAL* hard time learning Fatal Fury 3, but I love it so much! Andy's standing animation is his best in this game. Handling three lanes is quite hard and it's the only thing in the game that I dislike. All this considered, it's a wonderful game.
It's a gem. It's arguably my favorite game in the series.
It's a title that gets kinda forgotten between FF Special and the Real Bout ones. I think the roster is too small for a 1995 game. And most of my friends already didn't like the Fatal Fury series because they thought the two-plane thing was too complicated, and the introduction of a third didn't do much to change their minds.
The Sega Saturn version’s soundtrack remains a favorite of mine, particularly the Mai and Chonshu tracks, along with the Chonshu intro music.
I recently started playing this game - but I'm not a big fan of the new 3 plane system, it's confusing. I hope I get used to it, because the game itself is so beautyful and I would love to like it. My favourite FF is FF Special (and Garou MOTW).
MY FAVOURITE FATAL FURY GAME
and best long commercial EVER
anyway know the name of the Terry Bogard actor ?
Very underrated Fatal Fury entry , It's hard but fun . I love it on PS2 (Fatal Fury Battle Archives Vol.1)
HIDDEN GEM, despite having its faults... Like some people said, it's IMPOSSIBLE to make super moves during battle. But it's the greatest Fatal Fury lore that went beyond the Bogards story with Geese...
Oh damn... didn't know the earthquake happened in Japan back in 1995.
I love Fatal Fury: The Motion Picture (CrunchyRoll)
All games prior to 2002 are flawless stonerocks of invaluable human conscious attention. Nice one!
I've played the the original Fatal Fury and a little bit of the second one, but of the classic titles, THIS is the one I logged the most hours in if you don't count Mark of the Wolves. I really liked how fast you can change lanes compared to the previous titles. And for '95, this game was gorgeous! I would say this game is a gem, for sure.
This game is a masterpiece, definatelly an underrated gem. I can't forget the hours we were playing with my buddy back in highschool in neoragex having no idea idea a third game existed, or even more with the real bout games and mark of the wolves. The reason we had no idea was because arcades were forbidden to exist by a stupid law in the late 90s in Greece. So we had stayed at FF2 Special
Greetings from Mexico
I'm so torn with this game. I absolutely love it because I love the amazing strides it took compared to "2/special" but the 3 lines are so difficult to juggle, not to mention the super moves are impossible to do mid-battle. In a perfect world I'd love the controls of Real bout, with the story/levels of FF3.
Not to mention the fact that some don t even work properly. For example bash s enhanced super doesn t work on several characters. What i found out however is that the moves can be done if the joystick movement is slower. Yeah, that always does the trick for me.
I like this multi-lane system. I would like to see them bring it back in the new upcoming Fatal Fury sequel but in the settings to give players the option to switch between two, three, or standard single lane combat. That way everyone will be happy. Or maybe instead of choosing it in the settings, give the option to choose lane system before each match. Either way, having the option is always plus.
Too bad they don't patch the old games when they rerelease them a million times
@alex-mihaimatei8597 it works perfectly all the time. I've had this game since release on cd. Just do the green name code. When battle starts, keep holding A +C +D while pressing start iirc.
In fact, it was so easy we would exclusively use it in combos. After the launcher I think the follow up was rdp + something (BC, CD, just C?). Need to plug in neo geo again to find out, been too long.
@@bigshorty4855 Believe me the code works on Bash, the name goes green and I am able to do the ability. The problem is that, when doing the Genocide buster(enhanced version of armageddon buster) on specific characters, you can see that the move is not properly optimized and the animation does not continue. Armageddon buster works all the time.
I can´t remember exactly, but Genocide buster for example doesn´t work on Terry, the animation does not continue after one hit i believe. I know this because I tried a few good hours with bash on more characters.
If you can test the move I am curious. But try it on more characters, like terry, sokaku, the jins or mai. With mai and sokaku I´ve had some luck, but with the other characters nada.
Cheers :)
I bought me a NEO GEO almost 2 decades ago and i ignored this hidden gem for a little while because of poor reviews by certain gamers. Then i watched footage on youtube and was impressed and purchased it and had fun with it. Its quite possibly the most underatted fighting game ever made.
Even if its not as good as some other they tend to exaggerate then praise it decades later
5:43, strong disagree, Yamazaki's theme is up there with every other FF theme for me, and not to mention one of the BEST FF Geese themes in the series imo
Hope they put back the 3 lanes back in the new. That game.This makes the game different from the others.originality
I completely agree 👍👍
Gamers hate originality.
Majority of player hate 3 lane.....😂
Well not me, during that era, I waited to have a sequel of ff2/special. One of my favorite.
I bought a brand new copy of this game the week it was released on NeoGeo CD from HMV in Oxford street London. It was £30 new, and I couldnt wait to rip the cellophane off when I got home to play it. Me and a friend played this to death for days afterward, gameplay and graphics wise for 1995 on the Neo Geo Cd it was remarkable and so impressive with such great attention to detail, obviously a showpiece to rival the ps1 / 3do / atari jaguar at the time. Superb game then and now one of my faves 💯⚡️💥⚡️☮️🎲
I miss the HMV in oxford street. Just passed by where it was yesterday.
This game made the SNK staple FG. It introduced Hops, Sways (df+HP), I am not sure, but even FF3 has Guard Cancels, Command Normals. It definitely pulled away from Capcom SF2 staple. Great video.
Another great video of, in my opinion, a definite hidden gem. Fatal Fury was lost in me in the 90s, but I came to really love it in the early 2000s. Classic!
What is the background song that starts from 3:09? I lived in Ashiya-shi and worked in Hyogo-ken from 2001 - 2005. The building I worked in had photos on the wall of the Kobe/Awaji/Hanshin earthquake. The only evidence of the the massive quake I saw was at a marine park in Sannomiya, Kobe and one condemned building at the end of Motomachi in Sannomiya. Really impressive Japan rebuilt that area so fast and well to not show any evidence of what happened.
13:16 😂 that dialouge is hilarious
All the game is filled with hilarious dialogue.
I've been going through the series from the first game and this is definitely my favorite so far. The plane system is vastly improved as well.
Even though I'm more of a Real Bout fan than a Fatal Fury 3 fan, I enjoyed playing this one too. I liked the presentation and the graphics of this game, especially "breaking the 4th wall" when defeating opponents. 🤣
Edit : I also remember having that issue of Electric Gaming Monthly and being excited for Street Fighter Legends...I mean Alpha and Fatal Fury 3. My local arcade was buzzing with competition in both games.
Based on your skills (grades) final boss can be Yamazaki or Jin Chonshu or Jin Chonrei, this last one with official ending. The endings are very simple, just 1 image per character, but only Geese has a long ending
To me 3 was absolutely an upgrade, added some great characters and I enjoyed the sway system more than the line one. Blue Mary and Yamazaki are among my top picks for returning characters for Garou 2.
This has the best looking graphics out of all Fatal Fury games even compared to Mark of The Wolves. It rivals that game in terms of sheer eye candy.
Big graphics!!🎉
@@CoolWalker01 nowhere near creatively dull
@@CoolWalker01 explain
@@CoolWalker01 You basically saying you don't like it without real reasons. I'm not sold. Just say its your opinion cause you still havent articulated the lack of creativity this game has. The sprites are awesome.
@@CoolWalker01 you mean you can't articulate what you mean. If I told you something like SF 4 and 5 are goofy, which is objective and not subjective, I can tell you why.
Love this channel
Same here. This and Shoruyugame are my go-to channels for SNK related content.
Gameplay failure. The changes to line switching to require A+B for foreground and B+C for background is very untuitive, this is why the Real Bout games went with the D button for line switches. All the Real Bout games have their fans and you can usually find vs. matches of all three of those run at Japanese tournaments like Mikado, or just general Fightcade matches. But finding anything of Fatal Fury 3 is tough, because barely anybody likes playing vs. matches. Most of the people that call this a gem just like the single-player presentation and aesthetics, that's it.
It had the debut of Yamazaki which alone makes it a diamond.
This is still my favorite Fatal Fury. It's only flaw being that the plane shift is about 90% accurate. But I still prefer how that feature works in this game.
Unfortunately, I've never played FF. But every time I see recordings of this game, it looks so different from KoF. KoF is so combo-based, and insane, while FF looks more footsies. Maybe that's just an impression though, but I'd love to understand the evolution of mechanics of the SNK games, including Art of Fighting.
In this era KOF was not combo-based. In KOF99, it became combo-based game. For real, Fatal Fury Real Bout Special and Samurai Shodown 4 had longer combos than any KOF from that time. You can easily pull 15 hit combos from both games without SDM.
Garo 3 was good but I love Garo Real Bout the most. Back then I played at arcade center all day, mastering every characters to competitive level.
Loved this one. So many cool details.
it was a good entry for me and the magazines really hyped it, the new sprites and characters looked great in those pages, the day I finally got to play it I really loved the new art and music direction, got into fights with Blue Mary and Franco Bash in their stages I was in awe.
Neo Geo MVS version got a bug/glitch that make you did'nt see the ending, because arcade crashes. This error was corrected on AES version! It was a big mistake and made players frustated
Definitely an underrated gem and underappreciated story. Something you can't say for Mark of the wolves.
Is it a fatal gem or a hidden fury
There are things that i prefer over Real Bout, but overall, Real Bout is the better game imo
This is not the best Fatal Fury game for me, but the best fighting game of all time!
One of my favourites. What a TV advertisements!!
3:47 Shoot looking at that part it makes me think “Can you imagine Jack Turner & JohnCrowley in this game?”
Why John Crawley, King, Yuri, Mr Big and Mr Karate didnt appear on Art of Fighting 3 game
Whats it's the song of the live Action commercial?
Hidden gem. Was the detonante for Real Bout. I can't believe how good the gameplay becomes.
Was an unpolished gem, but had so much character and potential. I really wish they improved on the 3 line system; with more buttons to take advantage of now, it wouldn't be as confusing as it was back then.
Oh i loved how faster it was
Besides garou motf, and real bout special this is the best of the series
I would not count Fatal fury 3 a failure because if it wasnt for that game we would have never had any of the awesome real bouts. I would say more of underrated jem.
The ad's were the best thing about this game series the 3rd one was fine but they easily buried it with better titles like Real Bout Fatal Fury and it's sequels along with Mark of the Wolves.
Indeed one of best games in the series
What features were cut?
Fatal fury 3 is similar than Art of fighting 2 with True ending.
Like Geese and Chonrei, or Chonshu.
Seriously the game is UNDERRATED! Its not a bad game per say but many fans dont like this entry due to the gameplay feeling different than special. Personally i enjoyed it from gameplay to the graphics deapite not being good at it.
This game have everything, the style, the story, the characters. GEM.
Fatal Fury 3 is my favourite Part of the series!
An absolute masterpiece.
Hidden gem. Easily.
My most favorite Fatal fury is Fatal fury 3.
Depends how well can played it was fun ahead the times like all legendary neo geo
Definitely a hidden gem! Amazing graphics, excelent story, playable Geese!
8 characters for a fighting game is limitated
I really like this episode! FF3 is an underrated game ❤
It's hard because this game looks lovely some of the best stages ever like terrys yamazaki, they also introduced chaining mechanics ect, but looking back now it's easy to see why this game is a massive flop and to treat it like like a beta for real bout even though snk more than likely put there heart and soul into the game, but there's some serious issues pushback on normals air to airs causing hard knock downs and whoever thought that throws needed a 13 frame start up in 1995 needs to sent to the moon, HOWEVER i think a massive caveat for my opinions on the game are warped i did not play FF3 on release i played it in about 1997 1998 i think all those people that played this game on release i can see why they would love it 1995 was a different period to 1997-98
Fatal Fury 3 was a commercial failure, to the point that they reused chips from all the unsold cartridges when they made Real Bout 1.
Personally I'm torn on the game. It has an OUTSTANDING presentation and lots of good ideas, but the gameplay is a bit underbaked and unbalanced.
I think "Legend of the Hungry Wolf" is a better name than "Fatal Fury", but I understand the Western market and the screwed way they think
Fatal Fury has a better ring. Fatal Fury: The Legend of the Hungry Wolf. Plus I love the logo.
This game was the shit when it came out.
Weakest part about it was the game speed and character count. Also infinites, which were great for 1p but terrible for 2p vs.
This was the game that made us stop playing ss2. Till kof 95 came out, that took over everything.
This game had many cheats btw, super hard mode, secret supermoves, mini character fighters but your specials/supers remained the same 😂.
Also, the boss code. Beat the game, press load game, but you don't have to continue. Coolest part about it is they are also at the bar (after loading game press B starting from Terry and go over each character in a certain order pressing B each time).
Honestly, while ffs remains great, the line sway system is ass. All ff ganes onward on aes are worth playing. Best by far are rbff2 and motw.
What is the "Boss Code" in the MameDroid Emulator?
@@Sun-God2 emu should have cheat database. Otherwise you gotta use dipswitchew. Don't know which ones though.
Nice rare Gem
HIDDEN FREAKIN GEM!
Hidden gem
This game is in no way a good game. It has skeleton of a potentially great game. I hope one day there will be a “special” edition of the game that takes care of the infinite loops and other exploits, be it official or through mods. The real bout games evolved into something different from ff3, I think ff3 warrants its own update.
GEESE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FF3 for a big FF fan like me is a BIG FAILURE, FFSP is the only one
reason FF3 is a failure:
1- abscence of kim kaphwan
2-some dull charachters like Sokaku ( looks more for samurai showdown) / Franco Bash and his over power and annoying scraams
3- Andy Bogard lost his kuhadan move / terry has no rising knuckle
4- BMG and o.s.t annoying Geese sound actor isn't the same
5- the swap between plans is confusing
6- the life bar end quickly
I know you are nit picking when you are dissing the ost and the voice actor. The geese voice actor(Kong Kuwata) from Fatal Fury 3 is the one that voiced every geese and genjiro up until now. Kong Kuwata is great.
@@sladejosephwilson2300 Ikr
Everything between Garou and FF Special was forgettable. They wasted a lot of man hours on that Real Bout Series and FF3
Best Fatal Fury is Real Bout Special. Garou is overrated.
Nabil thanks for sharing your passion with us this channel is AWESOME
Thank you for watching and for the kind words.
One of my favourites. What a TV advertisements!!
