Garou: Mark of the Wolves. This is the last Fatal Fury game on the Neo Geo and the last Fatal Fury game at this time. If you thought Fatal Fury 3 and the Real Bout series were graphically impressive, then you haven't seen anything yet! This game pushes the Neo Geo to it's absolute limits! This is the game that is highly comparable to Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike and it even has it's own Parry system called the "Just Defense System" but unlike 3rd Strike, Garou also has the T.O.P. System. But I'm not here to explain Game Mechanics, I'm here to talk about this game's history and stuff! Now, are you okay? Ready or not, Buster Wolf! - For Fatal Fury's 15th Anniversary , SNK released a 20 minute still pictured movie called *Garou Densetsu 15th Anniversary: Memories of Stray Wolves!* This movie takes place a bit before Garou: MOTW! It recaps the entire Fatal Fury story up until this point, including bringing back some characters who don't appear in Garou like Duck King, Blue Mary, and even Richard! It's on KZbin and fully translated, so please! Do check it out! Most of my info for these facts actually came from that movie! The art for the still-pictures were done by Ogura Eisuke and they are incredible~ (I bet ladies will love Rock's look. lol He's adorable there. XD) - Why is this called Garou? Well, believe it or not, "Fatal Fury" is the international name of the series. The Japanese title is actually "Garou Densetsu" which translates to "Legend of the Hungry Wolf"; in reference to how Terry is known as a Hungry Wolf throughout the series. Funnily enough though, the game IS called Fatal Fury: Mark of the Wolves on the Dreamcast version. - This game takes place 10 years after the events of Real Bout Fatal Fury as one of the openings to this game shows. After FF3, Terry adopted Rock and eventually became the "father" after Geese's death in Real Bout 1. - Garou's story focuses on Rock Howard's beginnings as well as Terry Bogard and the mysterious Kain R. Heinlein. Following Geese's death, Terry and Rock moved to the neighboring city known as "Second Southtown"... Yup. lol Anyway, a mysterious host is holding the new "King of Fighters: Maximum Mayhem" tournament and fighters related to old KOF contestants show up here such as the children of Kim Kaphwan, Andy's student Hokutomaru, and even Rock Howard, the son of Geese Howard. The "host" turns out to be Grant and his brother-from-another-mother, Kain R. Heinlein. The latter is the most important one here as Kain is actually Rock's Uncle! It turns out that Kain is trying to decypher Geese's will following his passing and he knows that Rock is an important key to the will and thus held the tournament to lure Rock to him. Strangely, Geese is part of the reason that Rock's mother, also Kain's sister, died and despite this Kain willingly wants Geese's will... Regardless, Rock's ending shows that he accepts Kain's offer to join him and informs Terry that he'll return when all of his accounts are settled... Cliffhanger, ladies and gentlemen. ^^; - There WAS going to be a "Garou 2" and was 70% completed. But the game wasn't finished, likely due to SNK's Bankruptcy in 2000. We actually got in-game idle sprites of the newcomers who would've appeared in the sequel. One of the newcomers was a student of Joe Higashi. I believe this student was female too. - Terry is the ONLY returning playable character from the Fatal Fury series, similar to how Ryu and Ken were the only returning fighters for SFIII: New Generation. - You know Rock's theme song right? Spread the Wings? Everyone loves it. Me personally, I actually prefer his KOF 14 theme, Emergence. lol But Spread the Wings uses part of the melody from a song named "Children" by Robert Miles. From what I know, the composer of Garou liked Robert Miles' music hence the intentional similarities. Though that's likely the reason Rock's theme in KOF 14 isn't Spread the Wings. Again, I prefer Emergence anyway. lol - Terry's Garou look would be used in KOF 2003 and KOF 11, as well as Maximum Impact... and Maximum Impact 2 but for SOME reason he's called "Wild Wolf" when he's in the Garou outfit. Wild Wolf is...another character who's just the older Terry? Eh, it's weird. Maximum Impact overall is just weird. Kinda fun, but weird nonetheless. XD But anyway, this caused great confusion "timeline wise" because Rock appears in the opening of KOF 2003 as a little kid... AND he supposedly appears as a young adult in the Fatal Fury Team of KOF 2003!? Heck, Rock has appeared in a few KOF games looking like a kid, starting with KOF 2001! They kinda goofed a bit, but I guess by KOF 14, the developers were like "SCREW IT. BRING HIM HERE!" lmao After all, since Garou, Rock has been a highly requested character for KOF. From what I know, Rock wasn't included because of "timeline reasons" or something like that, so they settled on bringing Rock to other games like CVS2 and Neo Geo Battle Coliseum. - Here's a fun one: During the development of KOF 99, the designer for K' (pronounced K-Dash) freaked out because his hair was similar to Rock's so he had to alter K's hair. lol - The game's cast features many fighters related to past Fatal Fury fighters...and even AOF fighters! Khushnood Butt (Marco Rodriguez) is actually a practitioner of Kyokugenryu Karate, the same fighting style that the Sakazakis (plus Robert Garcia) use in the AOF and KOF series. Ryuji Yamazaki actually makes an unseen cameo in Butt's (ha) ending where his student informs him that a "Dojo Buster" busted up the dojo. Yamazaki is known to be a Dojo Buster, especially in the KOF series. As mentioned earlier, Kim Kaphwan's sons, Jae Hoon and Dong Hwan, along with Hokutomaru, Andy's student, and Kevin Rian, a distant relative of Blue Mary Ryan, appear in the game. - This one's more of a... funny "fact". Freeman, one of the fighters in this game, must've been a cool design for it's time, because other fighting games would mimic his design. One that comes to mind immediately is Carmine from Under Night In-Birth. He looks like a blend between Freeman and Iori. lmao And funnily enough, when Iori lost his flame powers in KOF 12 and KOF 13, his moveset was a little similar to Freeman's. - Speaking of Iori, he actually cameos in Hokutomaru's stage. Take a good look~ He's a little hard to see, but once you see him, you see him~ - This is the first appearance of Terry's BUSTER WOLF... Believe it or not, Terry would NOT get this move until freaking KOF 2003! T^T Why the hell did they wait so long!? Well, regardless, we got the move and it's one of his best special moves. That's all for now!

SNK has been doing a lot better lately, but I'd say they need something along the same lines to truly give them the freedom to throw money around on risky projects. Unfortunately, SNK's IPs are catered toward a much more niche crowd (ie mostly fighting game fans).

[@budgiecat9039]

Kain "deemed the general populace jaded by mediocrity and peace (after Geese Howard died). Thinking that a person truly experiences life when they're oppressed, Kain decided to take Geese's legacy and rule Second Southtown. He wanted to declare the city's independence from the US, make it a city-state, and then model the town into one that would constantly be exposed to violence which would make the inhabitants value their lives, with the strongest ruling over the weak." The ending seems like some sort or weird subtle existentialist social commentary jab at politics and sociology; it starts off stating 'hey I heard this city is finally going to declare independence", to which Terry answers "doesnt matter, our lives wont change anyway", to which Rock replied to him asking if what Kain was trying to do was a bad thing or not questioning if it was wrong notice the fashionable lady has a shopping bag that says LIBERALISM lol. And then she says "I'll take jewels to independence anyday!", meaning she values the consumerism materialistic benefits of Capitalism over whatever ideals Kain was trying to implement to show people the value in their lives over being jaded and complacent. When Kain told Terry "a wolf like you should know, people today aren't alive", he is referring to how Terry had to endure a life of hardship growing up on the streets after Jeff Bogard was killed and he had to gain strength in order to avenge him. Terry knew no peace, at least no inner peace, and Geese's death didnt satisfy that thirst for revenge; only made him empty. Until he filled that emptiness by adopting Rock. When the kids congratulate Terry in the moment of him falling into a bit of despair when he says "I love this town but...", Terry then realizes that its 'all about heart' which is what makes you 'truly alive', not revenge, but the love of others and where you are from that keeps you living and want to keep surviving. The End.

Title of this video should have been " Kain trying to free South Town" I don't think max understood the ending. Kain wanted South Town to gain independence. During the end even Rock and Terry agreed.

[@uncreativeusername8362]

His Mark of the Wolves outfit needs to be a alt costume for Smash Bros Ultimate

I mostly like this game for the fact that the end bosses aren't purely input reading horse shitters.

[@godot_24]

But they actually are input reading horse shitters...

[@sladejosephwilson2300]

These seem like pushovers to be honest. Grant wasn't fun to fight. One of my least favorite snk bosses. Haven't fought Kain yet.

If Terry doesn’t say “Are you O.K.” in smash. I. Will. RIOT.

Most likely his Final smash and possibly an victory screen

[@carlosaugusto9821]

I agree. I just think that there is not a single masterpiece made by Snk.

[@heroesytumbas]

His only chain combo is close HP, then f+HP (the double gut punch); Power charge is f,f+P and now is a rekka style attack that can be repeated up to 3 times. Kain is Rock's uncle from his mother side.

[@shirox11]

The dialogue in these old fighting games is all over the place, it’s hilarious.

[@theteioh05]

Hey Capcom- this is how you make storylines worthwhile. The original Fatal Fury storyline is Terry et al against criminal influence, especially from Geese . In Garou MOTW, the location is shifted to Second South. Why? Because in KOF '00, we see Zero pretty much destroy Southtown and we get the remark that they'll rebuild. Hence Second South. It all ties together.

[@jinthekingkazama1159]

Nope. KOF and Fatal Fury are in alternate timelines. Only Fatal Fury 1 and Fatal Fury 2 are canon to KOF. The reason Terry moved to Second South Town, is because in the main South Town, Geese died in Real Bout Fatal Fury, and Terry got bored and wanted to move to Second South Town, because he loved fighting so much.

[@GR.Gear_Lock]

Yeah, first time I played through Terry's Arcade I noticed he didn't have his Rising Tackle input. Then upon trying Rock's, I noticed Rock had it. Makes sense since Terry adopts him and practically trains him during the events of 2000 upward.

[@NPC_Algernon]

Terry has proximity normals, so if you want to do something with feint cancels, you want the close range buttons, with C being the best. From far range, crouching A, B, and C all work. For far range standing buttons, only A and D are feint cancellable, but D is kinda slow and unsafe so it's best to stick with A on block.

[@terry-]

Garou competitive scene is still alive, it has side tournaments every year in evo. I think he woild really like this game if he would learn the mechanics and combos, you have to research it a liitle.

[@adzl8775]

The slow animation for getting KO"D by of super looks sick. Hope the new kof takes some of these ideas and puts them in the new one

Even today, this is easily my favourite SNK fighter. It feels tight, the balancing is still really good, and Kain is actually a somewhat fun SNK boss. But Max, shame on you for skipping the amazing opening!

[@chucky2578]

I think he watched it if you check out the full stream on twitch.

[@Pixelchanchada]

You need to include KoF XI and Neo Geo Battle Coliseum to this!

[@carlosaugusto9821]

Xi is likely since he didnt say anything about playing only classics (neogeo). I dont know about Ngbc... but It would be Nice.

[@eviltom17]

100% Agree with Max! I really hope his Garou look is an alternate look for Terry in Smash!

[@dnmstarsi]

Same. It wouldn't be right if Terry didn't get this look yet Joker, Cloud and about 10 to 20 others get cool alts that were basically going the extra mile. Even if it's just two variants.

Rock Howard's ending gives more context....sort of. Still a heck of a cliffhanger though.

The one thing I remember from this game was the Kim offsprings specials lighting and fire... the audio for the crackling fire and buzzing lighting was awesome.

As someone who didn't know Terry until now, this design does so much more for me than his original 90's aesthetic.

[@axelhunter321]

4:50 "Oh Gaaaaaaawd!" LMFAO! l remember this clip. :)

[@stolasthegreatprince4166]

Yeah, it's crazy to think that almost all the SNK games were done on the same engine. The NeoGeo was a beast. AOF3 was made on it too, which is one of the most visually stunning fighting games from SNK. I'd dare to say that it looks even better than Garou.

[@NegoClau]

Fun fact: in AOF 3, SNK used MOTION CAPTURE, 3D models, and animated FRAME BY FRAME AND HAND DRAWN every single character. EVERY. SINGLE. FRAME. HAND DRAWN. FROM EVERY 3D MODEL USED IN MOTION CAPTURE! "And that's why you should never be an animator!" (Videogamedunkey)

[@ShadowSumac]

Not really sure about the same engine, but all of them used the same hardware.

[@theartcrusader759]

Oh wow I didn't know that I only thought they this for kof xiii.

@@theartcrusader759 they didn't use motion capture for KOF XIII. They used their old sprite sheets as reference to create and animate 3D models.

AOF3 AMAZES ME, because it was made on the 16 bits MVS/AES hardware.

From Street Fighter II on through Third Strike, Capcom went through three arcade board updates (CPS I through III).
