Franchise description
Developed by the original Street Fighter developer, Fatal Fury was designed as a spiritual successor to the original game. To help differentiate this new game from the competition, the developers implemented a two-plane fighting system, letting players dodge attacks by moving between the foreground and background. The game also has a greater emphasis on story; after selecting from a roster of only three playable characters--Terry Bogard, his brother Andy, and their friend Joe Higashi--the player is tasked with going through the titular King of Fighters tournament against various foes to avenge the murder of Terry's adoptive father, Jeff, by the tournament's criminal organizer, Geese Howard. Short cutscenes play between each match, and the game also supports two-player co-op.
In 1992, SNK released the first entry in its prequel series, Art of Fighting, as well a sequel, Fatal Fury 2, featuring the three playable characters from the first game in addition to five new characters. Fatal Fury 2 continues the story from the original, with a new antagonist, Wolfgang Krauser von Stroheim, who internationalizes the tournament to bring in the world's strongest fighters. An updated version of the game, Fatal Fury Special, was released in 1993, containing several gameplay changes, including an expanded character roster, a new combo system, and a new hidden boss character: Ryo Sakazaki from Art of Fighting. Fatal Fury 3: Road to the Final Victory was later released in 1995, featuring a further expanded character roster, a new three-plane fighting system known as "Oversway", and a new story focusing on the search for three sacred scrolls.

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Fighter
- 74. Terry: The legendary Hungry Wolf joins the battle as the fourth downloadable newcomer from the Fighters Pass. He is scheduled for release in November 2019 along with one stage, several music tracks, and several Spirits as part of Challenger Pack 4.
Cameos
- Ryo Sakazaki: The main protagonist of the prequel Art of Fighting. He is the “Dragon” of the fictional Kyokugen Karate, a heir to the mantle of Mr. Karate, and the leading core of Art of Fighting team within the main KOF timeline. He appeared as a bonus boss character in Fatal Fury Special and Fatal Fury: Wild Ambition, as well as being a regular character in AOF offshoot game Buriki One. He appears in the KOF Stadium as a background character.
Stage
- The stage is a stadium based on "The King of Fighters" tournament. The tournament originated from Fatal Fury, but the stage resembles its appearance in The King of Fighters series. It could potentially be based on the Stadium Stage 1 & 2 found in The King of Fighters XII. Notably, the KOF logo in the center uses the Super Smash Bros. logo instead of an O. It scheduled for release in November 2019 as part of Challenger Pack 4.
Trivia
- The Kirby and Fatal Fury universes both have stars as their series symbols.
- Fatal Fury is the second "traditional" fighting game universe to have a playable character, following Street Fighter.
