[@MisterRON]

That is the heaviest ending I've ever seen in a fighting game. Also, way cool that this directly references events that are the basis for Fatal Fury and is set in the 1970's.

[@FingerBreakerWu]

I played this before AoF2 came out and it was a big spoiler alert. I wonder if the devs thought this game wasn’t getting a sequel.

[@Bloodreign1]

@@FingerBreakerWu They probably figured by then people would know who Mr Karate was.

[@sladejosephwilson2300]

​@@FingerBreakerWuIt's because the snes version of the game was released close to the release of the 2nd game in the arcades.

The soundtrack to this version is awesome, Mr Big's theme is definitely a banger.

[@desoft8b]

Mr big theme is like Michael Jackson´s style.

King's stage is really good too. 13 year old me had my consoles hooked up to my receiver. That track in particular really slapped.

Better than Original Neo Geo Ver. Sound & Ending

[@rafaellima83]

What the hell, the arcade version didn't have this long ending! I never saw this ending before! I am pretty sure the Mega-Drive version also didn't have this ending.

[@Supermetabros92]

The Mega Drive version has the same ending as the arcade one.

[@Bloodreign1]

@@Supermetabros92 The MD version pretty much has the basic ending from the arcade, leaves me wondering why that version didn't get the extended ending as well. They of course both had different developers for both consoles, could be a major reason why as Monolith (a sister company to SNK), and not Sega, developed the SNES version.

[@PaulBlaster]

This port was awesome at the time, and the music is spetacular. The ending is MUCH better than the original. The best Neo Geo conversion made for the SNES (alongside World Heroes 1).

[@bilders6701]

+Rafael Rocha What a theme too

[@RavenTravelStudios]

the snes ending was the first time when they showed a direct connection between fatal fury and art of fighting.

[@angelriverasantana7755]

RavenTravelStudios That was actually kinda cool to see. Looking at the beginning of the SNK chronology is very pleasing

[@RavenTravelStudios]

Sure and thats why KOF Destiny is so cool to follow despite his technical flaws.

The game play is also more responsive

[@infinitygenealpa]

Yeah, don’t even dare try to pull this “Genesis version is better” BS with me when it comes to this game, because this version is so much more faithful to the Neo Geo original. And it isn’t plagued with so much bullshit like the Genesis version was.

Omg dude thats the first thing i thought upon clicking the video. The music instantly brought me back in time to feeling awesome

[@carlossantavilla2997]

@@andresescobar6052 I think so too, the NeoGeo soundtrack is good, but SNES' is more dynamic and has a very good vibe. The game lacks certain background details, but it was able to emulate the zooming feature. If it had let's say 20 megs instead of 16, it could have had the cinematics in between fights and perhaps the missing details for most of the stages. But overall a great conversion considering the original had 102 megs and was the first game to enter the 100Mega shock category for the NeoGeo.

[@ramonantoniodejuanbennett6239]

Todo, John, Mr. Big stages had the best music! The AOF , Fatal Fury , and Hokuto no Ken games had the plot reminiscent of the old B Martial arts action films by Cannon Films of the 1980s and 1990s. Always felt that AOF should've been an action film starring Loren Avedon as Ryo Sakazaki and Jean Claude Can Damme as Robert Garcia, and Fatal Fury should have been a film starring Brad Pitt as Terry Bogard back then, and Cynthia Rothrock as King.

[@jamesg3880]

the neo geo version of this game was actually really ingenious for it's time. it had facial damage during the fight and upgradable abilities during the bonus stages, almost like an rpg. it's a shame other fighting games didn't expand on these concepts.

[@tonycervz89]

One of my favorite games. Grew up playing this a lot. Oddly enough, I love this version more than the original. I enjoy the music and gameplay to this day.

[@sladejosephwilson2300]

The game play of this version is more responsive than the original. But that's the case for the 1st iteration of early arcade fighters(because fighting games were still in their early days). Fatal Fury 1, World Heroes 1, and the 1st version Street Fighter 2 are more responsive on their console counterparts.

If you can get over the wonky resolution change to mimic the arcade scaling, yeah. But that weird "faux scaling" will definitely mess with your eyes. World Heroes 2, Fatal Fury 2, and Fatal Fury Special are fantastic on the PCE CD though.

She is the future mother to the next generation of Kyokugenryu Karate, or at least that's what Takuma Sakazaki hopes for anyway.

SNES art of fighting lee and Micky and Mr Karate theme are best soundtrack themes of all time. I only use Ryo Robert and Mr Karate with 1P vs CPU mode

[@blinddiecast]

Oh wow, this brings back memories, the best music a fighting game can offer

[@scyence]

It's really too bad Samurai Shodown didn't have scaling like AOF did on SNES. Though I heard it's because of Earthquake, so I get that.

[@Bloodreign1]

Earthquake and to retain more background animation, stage detail, and character endings, which were all cut in half in the Genesis port.

[@TheBrolylegend]

I used to play this as a kid on christmas my great themes were lee mickey and karate. but my great fighters I liked were only MR.Karate Ryo & Robert.

[@journeymanX]

Gotta love the early AOF and Fata Fury games in spite of the difficulty they play like a martial arts movie

[@loungejay8555]

The SNES could have utilized it's "mode 7" capability for the scaling in and out like the NEO GEO version.

[@rafaellima83]

The original Neo Geo game, back when was released, was breathtaking.. with its huge sprites and zoom effects, it looked amazing, and the sound effects were out of this world. Street Fighter 2 played a whole lot better, surely. But the original AoF looked amazingly good for the time.

[@sladejosephwilson2300]

Both are very dated now. But I would still rather play Art of fighting 1(especially this version since it's more responsive). AOF had mechanics and supers with an arcade story and pretty graphics.

Remember buying this way back in 1994, I bought it as the graphics looked good and the box said zoom in and out fighting lol I thought how cool is that just like the neogeo, I had seen screen shots of the neogeo version in the mags at the time and it looked cool and the snes looked just like it and being a massive neogeo fan at the time but to poor to own one as it was a rich kids Console, the snes version was awesome I spent hours playing this it was a top notch conversion, most of neo to snes conversions wee good except fatal fury, that was always better of the mega drive.

way better than the genesis version. the pc engine version was almost arcade perfect except for the zoom effect which was horrible. the snes zoom effect isn't half bad.

[@Bloodreign1]

Not an actual zoom effect on the PCE verrsion, but the screen would constantly change resolutions to fake the scaling, and it wasn't very smooth (it is the weakest SNK fighting game port on the console, whereas World Heroes 2, Fatal Fury 2, and Fatal Fury Special were awesome). The SNES version, due to it being native to the hardware, had very smooth scaling.
