I promised myself that I'd try out the Fatal Fury series after seeing how cool Terry looked in Smash Bros, so I decided to start at the game's roots. So what did I think? I think FF kinda sucks, but it's not unbearable to play. As a matter of fact, I like that it sucks. You can call it Stockholm syndrome, but something about constantly losing to the bosses' cheap moves, and seeing how they mocked and laughed at me was the motivation I needed to keep going and prove myself as the Garou Densetsu™. I learned something about my opponent from each battle, which immersed me and almost made me feel like a martial artist. And I can't write my thoughts on FF without mentioning Geese. He's absolutely an input-reading, cheating, father-killing piece of shit that almost made me want to tear my hair out, but even he was easy to exploit once I found his weakness. All you have to do is throw him, then spam Burn Knuckle when he gets up. I guess it's not as simple as I made it out to be, but it helps a lot. I think this was a decent introduction to Fatal Fury, and I'm eager to see what the rest of the franchise has in store.

Surpreendentemente competente e carismático pra época. Vai por um caminho um pouco diferente de SF2, entregando menos como jogo de luta, mas tentando ao máximo trazer uma bela apresentação, com inimigos extremamente únicos, cenários dinâmicos, maior presença narrativa com cenas do próprio chefão lhe observando durante as lutas e tudo mais. Realmente vale a pena a experiência pra quem gostaria de conhecer o início das lendas da SNK, e isso sem ter que ralar muito como nas árduas sequências de FF ou os primeiros KOF's.
