Fatal Fury Special , an improved version of SNK's 2D one-on-one fighter, is a part of SNK's Fatal Fury series. The objective is to win the tournament by defeating all other fighters, including the end boss Wolfgang Krauser.
The game features a large selection of fighters, including eight regular fighters from Fatal Fury 2: Terry Bogard, Andy Bogard, Joe Higashi, Kim Kaphwan, Jubei Yamada, Cheng Sinzan, Mai Shiranui and Big Bear. The four bosses from Fatal Fury 2 are also included, along with three characters returning from the first Fatal Fury: Duck King, Tung Fu Rue and Geese Howard.
Other improvements include a new Count Down mode, where players must defeat as many opponents as possible in 3 minutes, extra color schemes for every character, new and improved background graphics, and Dolby Surround Sound support.
Fatal Fury Special still features the series' trademark pseudo-3D movement along two planes, making it a classic fighting game experience.
