Sick game, but using AI slop to announce Year 2 Pass is a big no.

I'm healing with this game. If you are burnout of modern fighting games with their 50/50 gamble situations and throw loops, this game is a gem in a generation of brain roth fighting games. Choose the character you like more, train, get better, go online, learn from your oponents and mistakes, train more, just as the old days. Gameplay 10/10 -SNK have more experience making fighting games tha any other company and …

Coming from SF6 (High master) and never played an SNK game before. The defensive options make this game so refreshing compared to the stale meta of higher level SF6, where every option is commital. Be it parry, anti air, or any wakeup option. JD and and HD plus different tech rolls, no throwloops make this game more fun for me already.

This game is great. I don't condone the AI for S2 trailer but don't let that be the reason you don't support the game. This game does so much right by offering you tons of content for single-player, music, palette creator, FREE SEASON 1 CHARACTER PASS and shipping with solid rollback netcode. Letting a single announcement trailer that was clearly outsourced deter you from buying this is honestly some goofy clown …

I never intended to buy this game. At the time of the beta, I was a dedicated Street Fighter 6 player. I had never played an SNK game before, though I had spent more than a decade playing fighting games. The beta instantly hooked me with its gameplay mechanics. This is one of the few modern fighting games that not only encourages defensive play but actively prioritizes it. If you're a fan of 3rd Strike, this game …

neutral · AI labelView post →I reviewed Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves for Digital Trends. It’s a great fighting game dragged down by the state of the world. This is the hardest review I've ever had to write. I hope you'll read it. I can't thank @marioprime.bsky.social enough for giving this a home.
neutral · AI labelView post →was watching a trailer for that new Fatal Fury game and a certain frame caught my attention so i redrew it with Mary of course! I mostly just wanted a wallpaper for my desktop but the quality was not great with the Mai version so i got carried away and made a Mary version
neutral · AI labelView post →My job is talking about the history of fighting games and I have never seen anything as weird as the lead up to COTW. This is a giant expensive boxing match to promote the new Fatal Fury, while assuming everyone knows what Fatal Fury is, while showing no footage of the game it's promoting
negative · AI labelView post →Man... Y'all remember Garou: Mark of the Wolves? They should have made a sequel to that game, huh? 😋😜 It probably surprises no one that I love B. Jenet. She's basically just Fatal Fury Tron Bonne. 🥰
neutral · AI labelView post →wow! Very cool Wrestlemania in Las Vegas is sponsored by Fatal Fury City of the Wolves. I hear they even have a special build of the game with some crazy changes to Ronaldo's moveset making him a charge character. For more info, google Cristiano Ronaldo Las Vegas Charges
neutral · AI labelView post →Kind of insane that there's only one fighting game this year treating Fatal Fury with the reverence and dignity it deserves, and that game is Street Fighter 6.
negative · AI labelView post →Should also point out they added Sagat along with the costumes, and fighting game player bases always double when a new character comes out. Heck, Fatal Fury just added Ken and their playerbase quintupled. Does that mean Ken is also a "gooner?" Yes but that's beside the point.

positive · AI labelView post →This is the first Fatal Fury game since 1999! There's a rich history of characters who never made the move over to King of Fighters who deserve a second shot at life and instead SNK are giving us four guest characters in the first year alone. Fatal Fury is my favorite fighting series & I'm bummed.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ignore the ridiculous low ratings by people complaining about a commercial that used AI. This is the best fighting game on the market right now. Better than SFVI and T8. It's a perfect balance of oldschool and newschool mechanics. Season 2 is about to drop to make it even better. Buy this game, ignore the slander.
