SNK's Fatal Fury series reaches its 7th episode, bringing a lot of "innovations" and some significant changes. The new game introduces a lot of new characters, with all 20 fighters from previous games returning with new artworks and battle stages completely redrawn, as well as some remodeled moves.
The traditional fighting system comes with sensible modifications, like the removal of both "Rank System" and ground breakable objects. The match system using 2 battle plans (foreground/background) remains semi-intact, but now some battle fields use a single plane, forcing players to use only basic defense to avoid attacks.
The main addition of this title is the two new characters entering Fatal Fury 's main cast: Rick Strowd, a mysterious fighter with a particular fighting style, and Li Xiangfei, a young female Chinese martial arts fighter. These newcomers bring a fresh perspective to the series.
Real Bout Fatal Fury 2 was released on 1993 , offering improved gameplay and exciting new additions to the Fatal Fury franchise.
