Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves

[SouthtownKid]

Sega Rally 2 for me.

It was a pretty high bar and took a decade for people to realise.

Ps sf4 I cannot describe how much I hate this game and it killed my interest in the whole series. I still play fighting games though

Seems to me that when they made the genre more accessible to normies, you noped out. Understandable.

I noped out when it was absolute fucking ass

So...Street Fighter 4, then.

 

[kernow]

Yeah , and every one since. 2d in 3d just feels floaty and slow to me regardless

I hear what your saying, but 6 doesn't feel floaty at all. 4 and 5 definitely were. But 6 is much closer to an old school feel. I like the combo system in it. I suck at it pretty bad other than standard combos but it is a pretty cool system

This^

No matter how much ‘turbo’ they add to speed of individual moves coming out, the floaty/drawn out jumps and the deficit of animation frames bork these games for me.

Fighting EX Layer comes closest to getting it right; however, it also falls short.

Sega Rally 2 for me.

I liked Sega Rally on the Saturn but Daytona just kept me for the long haul. Plus the guy who sings the Daytona theme is just beyond awesome. He did the vocals for Burning Rangers also along with composing the whole Daytona soundtrack.

Edit this guy.

I still haven't played SF6, or SF5, or SF4.

Don't blame you

I thought Saturn Sega Rally was disappointing (not nearly as disappointing as shitty Saturn Daytona obviously, but still). But Sega Rally 2 in the arcade with that giant sit down car that threw you around as you drifted around corners was an infinitely improved experience over arcade Daytona for me.

Enjoyed SF4, barely touched SF5, and haven't gotten SF6 yet. I might get the latter for Terry though.

Personally I feel like I'm just too busy and unskilled to invest the time and effort to get good at complicated fighting games any more, especially for any kind of online play. SNK gets an exception, but even with games like KOF 15 I just played through the single player content, got wrecked online a few times, and called it a day.

Terry is fun to play and probably a little broken.

Which is fine by me!

 

[ajflutie]

If this game is anything like KOF 15 I am going to love it.

 

[Joey_Digital7]

Mark of the Wolves will be hard to top. Hope the story is there at least

I wasn't going to get SF6 unless they brought back Abel from SFIV....then they had to add my favorite fighting game character of all time out of left field and I pretty much have no choice to get it now .. I just hope this leads to a legit Capcom vs SNK 3

 

[yagamikun]

Jae shouldn't be too far behind. Dong looks pretty sweet.

 

[HellioN]

Japanese version for comparison.

 

[SouthtownKid]

I don't know why, but I never liked the Kim brothers. Actually, there are a few MotW characters that never grew on me. But the Kim bros in particular. They're no Yang and Yun, that's for fucking sure. The only new characters in MotW that I did like were Tizoc, Marco (barely a new character), and maybe Gato. And Kevin, out of respect for spinmaster. But the rest, including Rock, I don't care about at all. And Kain was a shit design and boring boss.

The more stuff this game brings over from previous FF games or newly created characters, the happier I'll be. I'm just not a MotW fan.

 

[kernow]

The lineup was a bit weird, I enjoyed playing as freeman also, the brothers though ehh, I was never a kim fan in kof really

"There you go again."

 

[HellioN]

I can agree on Rock.
As the guy who is supposed to eventually step into Terry's role he sure felt pretty underwhelming.
When I was regularly playing MOTW it was
Terry, Marco, Gato, & Hotaru.

 

[Fygee]

Dong Hwan looks great in action. His face looks off to me though. Doesn't resemble his MOTW look enough.

 

[Taiso]

I like Rock but he is definitely cut from the bishonen cloth that was so popular in SNK's KoF aesthetic era and that is not normally my jam.

Someday, we'll all find out why Rock didn't work out with Terry more often.

I probably just like the idea of Rock Howard, a kid Terry raised both out of a personal obligation and a desire to see Geese's son turn out better and have a brighter life than his dad did. It shows a maturation of the narrative. What good is Terry if all he does is beat people up? What does he leave behind? Why did his life matter, if not to pass down those values and ideas and strengths to someone who can take it forward? Terry can inspire others with his prowess but he doesn't know them. It's more compelling than it has any right to be.

 

[HellioN]

I wish I could find it again but I swear I read something official that stated Terry has an actual job as an assistant coach in a youth basketball organization.
