Art of Fighting is a fighting game where Ryo Sakazaki and Robert Garcia search for their kidnapped sister Yuri in the streets of South Town. As they dig deeper, they uncover clues about the kidnapping, the Sakazaki family's connection to the mob, and a person from their past.
The gameplay features a unique Spirit meter that decreases as you perform special moves. This meter can be recharged, but it leaves you vulnerable to attack. When your health is almost depleted, a secret combination can be used to unleash a powerful attack on your opponent, provided the Spirit meter is full.
Art of Fighting was released on the Neo Geo AES in December 1995 and introduced several characters that are not available in the arcade version, including Mr. Big and Mr. Karate .
