  • With a total of 5 spirits, Fatal Fury has the least amount of spirits among the DLC universes in Ultimate, although it shares its Spirit Board with the other SNK universes.
  • All Fatal Fury spirit battles have reduced jump power and are in Stamina Mode (excluding Kim's), similar to the Street Fighter spirit battles.
  • The Fatal Fury franchise is the first set of DLC spirit battles to not have its respective fighter appear in a spirit battle.
