The Fatal Fury universe (��虎の拳/餓狼伝説, Legendary Hungry Wolf) refers to the Smash Bros. series' collection of characters and properties that hail from the famous fighting game franchise created by SNK. Originating on the Neo Geo MVS Arcade in 1991, the series became world-renowned as one of SNK's most lucrative franchises, until the arrival of The King of Fighters series. Taking place from within the fictional city of South Town (in Savage Reign, it is renamed Jipang City), it stars a multitude of characters whose sights are set on their life goals and to be crowned the greatest warrior on Earth – as is the case with its main protagonist and sole playable downloadable fighter, Terry Bogard.

Fatal Fury is the center title of a shared universe which consists of other series created by SNK, including Art of Fighting (龍虎の拳, Dragon Tiger Fist), The Last Blade (幕末浪漫, Bakumatsu Romance), and Savage Reign (風雲), despite the latter two being in question because of their possible connection within this shared universe.

Both fighters from Fatal Fury and Art of Fighting, including a few from The Last Blade and Savage Reign would eventually become a part of The King of Fighters series, the title itself being a spin-off from the first Fatal Fury game's sub-title, King of Fighters and that KOF itself would serve as an alternate continuity from the Fatal Fury-shared continuity, in which the fighters (most notably those who hail from both Fatal Fury and Art of Fighting) can either team-up together or fight against each other without having to age them. In addition to this, KOF would also introduce original characters while bringing in various characters from other SNK franchises such as Ikari Warriors and Psycho Soldier.

Franchise description[]

Created by Street Fighter producer Takashi Nishiyama after his tenure at Capcom, both franchises take place in the same timeline, with Art of Fighting generally being a prequel to the Fatal Fury series, and share the setting of the fictional American city of South Town, USA. A state unidentified metropolis, the city is based upon backdrops and settings evocative of late 1980s and 1990s martial arts action films and TV shows, including Miami, Los Angeles, and New York City. Long considered a place of extreme disparity, where the financially disadvantaged and impoverished struggle and live to the rule of the "survival of the fittest" in contrast to the well to do and financially able, South Town has harbored a deep hotbed of underworld crime and infrastructural corruption in its streets since its founding, and as such, street fighting and even gang warfare is a common occurrence to its citizens. In turn, this has drawn martial artists all over the world to its hard knock streets, be it through destiny or to start a new life in the city.

Fatal Fury revolves around the story of local South Town hero and fighting legend Terry Bogard, his young brother Andy, their friend Joe Higashi, and various assorted friends and foes throughout both South Town and the world. Fatal Fury is well-known for introducing Mai Shiranui: a beautiful kunoichi and Andy's self-proclaimed girlfriend, who is also considered one of video gaming's most well-known "sex symbols." Art of Fighting is set about 10 to 20 years prior to Fatal Fury, and revolves around the affairs of the newly founded and rigorous Kyokugenryu Karate School, including masters Ryo Sakazaki and Robert Garcia, as well as Ryo's father and Kyokugenryu Karate founder Takuma, and Ryo's young sister Yuri. The Last Blade took place in a Bakumatsu era centering on the disciples of Gaisei (also known as the final boss, Koryu in the second game), the samurais Kaede and Moriya Minakata, and the naginata wielder Yuki. Savage Reign is set in a possible 21st century future from within a location called Jipang City (the future South Town), where it is ruled by a mysterious yet powerful crime lord named King Leo and that a few fighters, including Sho Hayate, Carol Stanzack, Max Eagle, Rosa, and Kim Sue Il have risen up to stop him and end his tyranny for their own personal reasons.

Fatal Fury introduced a multi-plane fighting system where characters could either jump into or be launched into the background or foreground of stages to simulate 3D battling. The first game had also allowed for two player co-operative play in order to take on a boss, though both players would have to face each other afterward.

Art of Fighting is usually looked down upon by players, but in fact had introduced a lot of mechanics to the world of fighting games that many games and players take for granted nowadays. This includes dynamic zooming cameras, visible battle damage (character sprites would show bruises and swelling on their faces as they took damage) and desperation moves that could be performed when a character was low on health. AOF had also introduced a unique gauge system that determined how many times a player could perform either a special and super move and that they would have to usually charge it back up in order to continue using such attacks, thus adding a strategic element when it came to battling from within a fight.

The two franchises had occasionally crossed over in some way or another. Art of Fighting 2 allowed skilled players to face off against a young 1970s era Geese Howard, the main villain of the Fatal Fury series as a hidden final boss if certain conditions were met by them while in Fatal Fury Special, players who did well in arcade mode could face off against Art of Fighting's Ryo Sakazaki as a hidden bonus boss if certain conditions were met by them as well. It is believed that Ryo's inclusion in Fatal Fury Special had served as both the inspiration and springboard for The King of Fighters, where Terry, Ryo, and their friends and foes make frequent playable appearances. Two more other connections to the Fatal Fury-shared universe is The Last Blade character Zantetsu, who is the user of Kisaragi Ninjutsu and possible ancestor of Eiji Kisaragi from Art of Fighting, while the Savage Reign series' storyline took place in a possible 21st century future of South Town known as Jipang City.

Fatal Fury series[]

• Fatal Fury: King of Fighters (1991): The series' first installment, Fatal Fury plays akin to the first Street Fighter, in that the player must face off against non-playable opponents akin to a boss rush, but the player can choose from three characters to play as and can even fight together with another player, with the caveat of both players facing off against each other and the victor continuing onward. Set within South Town during the early 1990s, Fatal Fury: King of Fighters documents the Bogard brothers (Terry and Andy) and their friend Joe Higashi in the local King of Fighters tournament, to rise up to the top and face off against the tournament's founder and sponsor, the infamous city crime lord Geese Howard.
• Fatal Fury 2 (1992): The series' second installment, Fatal Fury 2 would see the King of Fighters tournament expand itself to a much-more worldwide stage, and with invitations to not only last year's winner, Terry Bogard, but also to both Andy and Joe as well. After Geese's death, the tournament would be hosted by a German aristocrat and Earl of Stroheim named Wolfgang Krauser, who had sought to meet and defeat the man who struck down Geese himself. This is also the first game where Mai Shiranui: a beautiful kunoichi and Andy’s self-proclaimed girlfriend had debuted.
• Fatal Fury Special (1993): An upgrade or revision of Fatal Fury 2, Special increases the roster, with the four non-playable boss characters becoming selectable, three characters from the first Fatal Fury (Duck King, Tung Fu Rue, and Geese Howard) making their return, and Art of Fighting protagonist Ryo Sakazaki appearing as a hidden bonus boss (and also being playable in the home console versions of said game). The game itself is considered a cult classic in Japan for being a direct competitor to Street Fighter II, as well as having its own merits as a fighting game.
• Fatal Fury 3: Road to the Final Victory (1995): Coming back to the city of South Town, Fatal Fury 3 establishes itself as a citywide chase and a race against time, with the official return of Geese Howard. This time however, the quest around South Town presents an even greater threat itself as it enters into South Town's own streets: the coming of the Jin Twins (Chonshu and Chonrei), who desire the scrolls of the Hakkyoseiken School and its secrets in order to not only achieve and attain immortality, but also to reestablish the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty into the modern world. With upgraded graphics and a cinematic and dynamic presentation, Fatal Fury 3 helps to establish itself as the martial arts action film inspired series with dialogue and character interaction with story in its arcade mode.
• Real Bout Fatal Fury (1995): The first of the Real Bout sub-series installments, Real Bout Fatal Fury attempts to further push Fatal Fury's dynamic pacing while reconnecting with its roots. With Geese revealed to be alive to the public and in possession of all of the Hakkyoseiken Secret Scrolls of Qin to achieve and attain immortality, Geese immediately hosts another citywide tournament in order to settle things once and for all with Terry. To establish this feeling of a grand citywide tournament, players enter into a simulated "round robin" tier system against the entire roster with the exception of boss characters (Yamazaki, Billy, and Geese), and tiers are hosted at a few different locations; at each location, three predetermined characters are fought in that locale, and each fight features different times of day. Further introduced are the mechanics of breakable far corners and "walls" for ring outs, be it the destruction of a fence to the surrounding body of water or the endurance to hold out against a ledge, and three tier lane systems to fully introduce a sense of interaction with the environment.
• Real Bout Fatal Fury Special (1997): A second installment to the Real Bout sub-series, Real Bout Fatal Fury Special is one of the first of a few gaiden or side stories that would make up the rest of Real Bout after the canonical death of Geese Howard. A "what if" story in consideration with the late 2000s sound novelization of Memories of Stray Wolves and the Fatal Fury 2 anime feature film, Real Bout Special reintroduces the return of Krauser post the death of Geese, and his invigoration to defeat Terry once and for all for his past defeat. Real Bout Special is considered one of the paramount installments of Fatal Fury due to its upgraded graphics and mechanics, gameplay, presentation, and overall feel, and as an arcade sleeper hit in comparison with its more popular competitors and sibling series.
• Real Bout Garou Densetsu Special: Dominated Mind (1998): Released only for the Sony PlayStation, Dominated Mind is another gaiden side story set post Geese Howard canon. In the vacuum of Geese's passing, many criminals and aspiring crime lords attempt to claim South Town for their own, and at the end of this brutal struggle, the crime lord known as White stands as its victor. However, inspired by Terry's tale to avenge his father at the hands of his killer, an aerial-based acrobatic fighter and young pilot named Alfred Airhawk comes forward as he seeks to stop White's new reign and put him to justice.
• Real Bout Fatal Fury 2: The Newcomers (1998): The last installment of the Real Bout sub-series and something of a send off to the classic Fatal Fury before SNK's bankruptcy, Real Bout 2 ran on SNK's Neo Geo Giga Power Pro-Gear cartridge spec, allowing for games that could compete with Capcom's CPS-3 arcade technology at the time. Another gaiden side story game, The Newcomers entails two new fighters from South Town's streets: a casino prize fighter named Rick Strowd and a female Kung Fu prodigy named Li Xiangfei, and incorporates all fighters from the Real Bout sub-series. A game made for the arcades, Real Bout 2 is made in mind with all out no frills presentation and with immediate entry into the fight with processing speed provided with the Giga Power Pro-Gear cartridge line.
• Fatal Fury: First Contact (1999)
• Fatal Fury: Wild Ambition (1999): Fatal Fury's first entry into 3D, Wild Ambition is a retelling of the first Fatal Fury with some of the reoccuring central cast and up to date gameplay. The game experiments with the Heat system, a super meter system that combines the typical fighting game super gauge system with the stun system to get players to be careful of their actions in the fight and maintain a steady flow in combat.
• Garou: Mark of the Wolves (1999): Akin to the Street Fighter III sub-series, Garou: Mark of the Wolves takes place ten years after the events of Real Bout: Fatal Fury in the nearby city of Second Southtown in 2006, and follows the story of Rock Howard: the son of Geese Howard and Terry's protégé. When a new King of Fighters tournament, dubbed "Maximum Mayhem" is hosted in Second Southtown, Rock and Terry (the two of them knowing the origins of South Town's fighting tournaments) are drawn to enter into its battles and investigate its sponsor in order to figure out on who is trying to keep alive Geese's infamous legacy. With a new generation of fighters, fluid gameplay, and 2D sprite work touted as some of the best at its era, Garou: Mark of the Wolves is widely enjoyed as one of SNK's masterpieces before their bankruptcy into the 2000s. The game is known to introduce the Tactical Offensive Position mechanic, in where certain portions of the life gauge are sectioned and chosen to allow for a special state of increased stats, beneficial effects, and access to character specific powerful guard shaving attacks dependent on the player's taste for playing fighting games.
• Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves (2025): Originally back in late 2000s, it was originally going to be sprite-based sequel under the tentative name Garou: Mark of the Wolves 2 prior to SNK's bankruptcy that puts the game cancelled, until 26 years later since SNK returns to its original video game routes back in 2014. Ever since The King of Fighters XIV marks SNK's ventures to 2.5D era of its game developments, the tentative Garou: Mark of the Wolves 2 has been reworked to 2.5D under the official title Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, and the third known game uses Unreal Engine 4 since Samurai Shodown (2019) and The King of Fighters XV. Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves takes place two years after Garou: Mark of the Wolves and serves as the seventh canon title. It also marks the return of SNK's venture on English voice acting for one of their video games since the voice over's appearances in KOF: Maximum Impact series (barring Regulation A), The King of Fighters XII and KOF: Sky Stage, but this time, the English voice over dubbed by the voice actors based in U.S.A, rather than rather than using American expat voice actors from Japan. Much like Samurai Shodown (2019), Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves utilizes cel-shade graphics, but based on classic American comic book feels (inspired by Marvel vs. Capcom 3), in contrast to the classic Japanese shading from Samurai Shodown (2019). City of the Wolves introduces the REV systems consist REV Guard, REV Arts (EX), REV Accel (akin to The King of Fighters XIII Drive Cancelling system) and REV Blows. In exchange for Terry and Mai's inclusions in Street Fighter 6, City of the Wolves adds Ken Masters and Chun-Li.

Art of Fighting series[]

• Art of Fighting (1992): The first chronicle of the adventures of Kyokugenryu Karate masters Ryo Sakazaki and Robert Garcia, their story begins upon the kidnapping of Ryo's young sister and Robert's love interest Yuri Sakazaki at the height of Ryo's local fame as one of South Town's best street fighters, and their quest to uncover the perpetrator and save Yuri. Touted as a "super real action game", with a more developed dynamic story and presentation in its arcade mode after its sibling Fatal Fury: King of Fighters, players take control of either Ryo or Robert in order to face opponents and unravel the story's mystery, or play with the entire cast in versus mode. The game is known to make use of a spirit gauge that is consumed with using special moves and allows them their optimal performance, and encourages good performance in bonus games in arcade mode in order to increase stats and gain access to super moves.
• Art of Fighting 2 (1994): The second chronicle of Art of Fighting, as the Sakazaki family are reunited and safe from the hands of the crime organization that dared to pit them against one another. A year later during his rigorous martial arts training, Ryo receives an invitation back to South Town. The event: a new tournament made for the strongest of fighters, the first ever King of Fighters tournament. The game is known to have an infamous reputation with being one of the hardest fighting games due to its impeccable opponent A.I.
• Art of Fighting 3 (1996): The third and final chronicle of Art of Fighting, the story comes to focus on Robert, who happens upon a chance coincidence of meeting with a childhood friend in South Town. However, immediately disappearing as he was on his way to a date with Yuri, this prompts Ryo to search for him while being accompanied by Yuri, and to where clues point to the fictional city of Glasshill, Mexico. The game is noted with its improved graphics for its motion captured sprite work to properly depict fluid and believable fighting moves and character movement.
• Buriki One (1999): A Hyper Neo Geo 64 arcade exclusive, Buriki One focuses on a more professional sports styled event known as the World Grapple Tournament in the Spring of 1999, in where the best representatives of different fighting styles in the world clash to be known as the greatest practitioner of their respective martial art style. Noted for its unique realistic styled gameplay setup, players instead guide the character's movements with a left or right button and block by pressing both down at the same time, while the d-pad is instead used to control the strength and manner of attacks. Ryo Sakazaki makes an appearance in the game as the Kyokugenryu Karate centered figure Mr. Karate, doubling as the next generation successor Mr. Karate II.

Savage Reign series[]

• Savage Reign (1995): Based upon more over the top and radical 90s martial arts and action films like the 1992 adaptation of Double Dragon and City Hunter, Savage Reign is set in the near future of the early half of the 21st Century in South Town, now known as Jipang City. Still as busy and bustling as it was in the 20th Century, the fearsome fighter known as King Leo makes a live television announcement of the establishment of the Battle of the Beast God Tournament, promising fortune, fame, and glory beyond one's wildest dreams to its victor, and to draw out and face new challengers for the thrill of the fight. With no rules, no restrictions, and no right way to win, as word is made known throughout Jipang City, over one hundred fighters show up to the event, and as the dust settles from the citywide brawl, nine fighters remain. As these nine fighters walk the last stretch on the path to face King Leo, they come with their own reasons: some to meet the challenge of King Leo; some fight for those they honor or love; some fight to settle things once and for all with King Leo. Like Fatal Fury, Savage Reign features multiple lanes, but this time the lanes are used for more platforming styled elements, akin to a proto-Smash Brothers, and rather than simply fists, goes for weapons fighter styled combat like Soul Edge in where some fighters can toss their weapons like boomerangs for ranged combat, and can lose them, forcing players to strategize their range game as much as their close combat game.
• Kizuna Encounter (1996): A tag team-based sequel of the first game, which was released several weeks after the first installment of Marvel vs. Capcom series, X-Men vs. Street Fighter. Its tag system on knocking out a member of an opposing team that immediately signals the match victory served as a main inspiration to Tekken Tag Tournament series and a Capcom-developed crossover Street Fighter x Tekken.

The Last Blade series[]

• The Last Blade (1997): Said to inspired by the famous 1990s anime and manga classic Rurouni Kenshin and series' creator Nobuhiko Watsuki's enjoyment of the Samurai Shodown series, The Last Blade is a historic fantasy romance set in the Bakumatsu, considered the last days of the samurai and the passionate turn of the century of civil war for a modernizing and opening borders Japan. Centered on long lost legends related to the creation of the world and the Four Sacred Gods who oversaw the establishment of the cycles of life and death, in these changing and passionate times for the future of Japan, a great battle occurs by the reincarnation of the Four Sacred Gods and those who are also caught up in this struggle of existence, over the crisis of the crucial place known as Hell's Gate, where life and death started, and the threat of chaos upon the world of the living upon its opening. While Samurai Shodown has players on their toes for openings of opportunity and weakness in and out as a single blow may mean the difference between victory and defeat, emphasizing quick thinking and reflex based strategy, The Last Blade emphasizes tactics, technical additions, and strong mind games, incorporating a stance system not unlike SamSho that emphasizes either speed or power with their strengths and drawbacks, utilizes the special gauge for a universal stance unique power up ability, and the ability to deflect an opponent's attack at the right frame head on to overturn the tide of battle to the player's advantage.
• The Last Blade 2 (1998): The second installment to The Last Blade, upon the quelling of the rogue one of the reincarnations of the Four Sacred Gods and the prevention of the opening of Hell's Gate, the rift remains open and it is said the rogue Sacred God's soul still remains, existing as a remaining threat. To exacerbate this, souls of the land of the dead who were reawakened by the last crisis yearn to live once more and seek to open Hell's Gate to achieve this, threatening the world of the living still. To ensure the stability of the world, the one known as the Sealing Maiden is said to be key to this, and she is believed to be one close to a reincarnation of the Four Sacred Gods. With further additions to gameplay features from its predecessor, The Last Blade 2 is also thematically themed to be more grim and melancholy than the first, utilizing a darker color scheme and emphasizes the climax of the Bakumatsu's last days into the Meiji.

Trivia[]

• The Fatal Fury-shared universe and The King of Fighters is the first two-in-one third party universe of Super Smash Bros., due to the both of them being connected fighting games of the SNK universe. Thus, the first SNK's competetive fighting game series universe itself is the second known fighting game series in Smash, with the first one being Street Fighter.
• In the Mr. Sakurai Presents presentation for Terry, when justifying the absence of fellow Fatal Fury character Mai Shiranui (who is largely recognised for her revealing outfit) as a background character in the "King of Fighters Stadium" stage, Sakurai jokingly stated that "Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is for good boys and girls of many different ages". The statement quickly became memetic within the community, partly since it contradictorily does not account for characters who possess similarly revealing outfits, such as Zero Suit Samus and Bayonetta, as well as characters that come from a primarily M-rated franchise, such as Snake and Joker.
  • In the Japanese version of the presentation, Sakurai additionally mentions that this omission complies with Ultimate's CERO A rating. This mention was removed entirely in international localizations.
  • Sakurai's statement is also believed to apply to SNK character Athena, who is known for her bikini getup.
  • Because of this, Mai's exclusion as cameo background in Smash series indirectly serves as a response for her new default outfit in Fatal Fury: City of Wolves.
