Nothing before or since AoF has had that look.So because of this anniversary I played it for the first time in a long time. All these years and I still can't beat Mr. Karate.
The graphics are so good, there really isn't a good comparison to other games that look like it. Like they're not even pixels but something else.
The Challenge levels are still tough. But the game is surprisingly easier than I remember it being, only Mr. Karate gave me trouble.
I think my biggest complaint is the damage seems very uneven. Some attacks wipe me out in two hits. I dunno, happens sometimes.
Props to SNK for creating a universe with their games. This game did take a lot of inspiration from SFII (John and his stage are embarrassingly creatively broke) but there is so much difference and experimentation that it doesn't matter.
The first game is still the best, easily. The best representation of an 80s B-movie on the Neo.
We're getting reminded constantly by fans who say MOTW is not part of the mainline Fatal Fury series, so no problem there.No.
Look at the Japanese title of the game, Ryūko no Ken GAIDEN.
The word "Gaiden" is interpreted as side story or tale.
AOF3 is a story that takes place in that universe but isn't necessarily part of the main story.
The game focuses on Robert instead of Ryo where the other games attempt to shift the focus completely to one of the new characters.
You should share.Congratulations to the game that was a puzzle fighter before puzzle fighter was a thing.
(Still have my notebook with scribbled info on patterns on how to beat each opponent in single player)
