A playthrough of Takara's 1993 versus-fighter for the Super Nintendo, Fatal Fury.
Played through as Terry Bogard on the default difficulty level.
I never much liked the first Fatal Fury, to be honest. Even when I played the arcade way back, it felt like a poor man's Street Fighter II (and on the Neo Geo, I would've taken World Heroes over it any day). It wasn't a bad game, it just really didn't do anything that other games hadn't already done better, and the three playable characters in single-player was a bit of a slap in the face. It played well though, with easy to pull of special moves and a nice flow to the action.
The SNES port gets a lot of it right. The sprites are a bit rough looking but colorful and detailed well, and the music doesn't really intrude. The flow of the game feels different, though. The command inputs aren't as responsive, the special moves commands were changed, and it can be painfully particular about timing - you won't be pulling off any effective rapid-fire weak punch or kick moves here like SF2 allowed, and the move priorities seem a bit goofy. The game is also amazingly hard, like most SNK fighters. I'm good at owning the CPU on the default, but any higher and the game hands me my own ass pretty quickly.
Fatal Fury 2, Special, and 3 were all very good games, but this one else really does feel like a stepping stone to great things without ever really being great itself. At least the 1991 game set the stage for SNK'S amazing fighters that came later! Fitting that it was originally called Fatal Fury: King of Fighters!
