The History Of FATAL FURY 3: An Underrated Gem or a Failure?

I would not count Fatal fury 3 a failure because if it wasnt for that game we would have never had any of the awesome real bouts. I would say more of underrated jem.

Very underrated Fatal Fury entry , It's hard but fun . I love it on PS2 (Fatal Fury Battle Archives Vol.1)

GEESE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love Fatal Fury: The Motion Picture (CrunchyRoll)

Definitely a hidden gem! Amazing graphics, excelent story, playable Geese!

I recently started playing this game - but I'm not a big fan of the new 3 plane system, it's confusing. I hope I get used to it, because the game itself is so beautyful and I would love to like it. My favourite FF is FF Special (and Garou MOTW).

I bought a brand new copy of this game the week it was released on NeoGeo CD from HMV in Oxford street London. It was £30 new, and I couldnt wait to rip the cellophane off when I got home to play it. Me and a friend played this to death for days afterward, gameplay and graphics wise for 1995 on the Neo Geo Cd it was remarkable and so impressive with such great attention to detail, obviously a showpiece to rival the ps1 / 3do / atari jaguar at the time. Superb game then and now one of my faves 💯⚡️💥⚡️☮️🎲

Nabil thanks for sharing your passion with us this channel is AWESOME

I really like this episode! FF3 is an underrated game ❤

Unfortunately, I've never played FF. But every time I see recordings of this game, it looks so different from KoF. KoF is so combo-based, and insane, while FF looks more footsies. Maybe that's just an impression though, but I'd love to understand the evolution of mechanics of the SNK games, including Art of Fighting.

This game is a masterpiece, definatelly an underrated gem. I can't forget the hours we were playing with my buddy back in highschool in neoragex having no idea idea a third game existed, or even more with the real bout games and mark of the wolves. The reason we had no idea was because arcades were forbidden to exist by a stupid law in the late 90s in Greece. So we had stayed at FF2 Special

Hidden gem. Was the detonante for Real Bout. I can't believe how good the gameplay becomes.

Hidden gem. Easily.

The ad's were the best thing about this game series the 3rd one was fine but they easily buried it with better titles like Real Bout Fatal Fury and it's sequels along with Mark of the Wolves.

One of my favourites. What a TV advertisements!!

One of my favourites. What a TV advertisements!!

FF3 for a big FF fan like me is a BIG FAILURE, FFSP is the only one
reason FF3 is a failure:
1- abscence of kim kaphwan
2-some dull charachters like Sokaku ( looks more for samurai showdown) / Franco Bash and his over power and annoying scraams
3- Andy Bogard lost his kuhadan move / terry has no rising knuckle
4- BMG and o.s.t annoying Geese sound actor isn't the same
5- the swap between plans is confusing
6- the life bar end quickly

Fatal fury 3 is similar than Art of fighting 2 with True ending.
Like Geese and Chonrei, or Chonshu.

What features were cut?

The Sega Saturn version’s soundtrack remains a favorite of mine, particularly the Mai and Chonshu tracks, along with the Chonshu intro music.

Garo 3 was good but I love Garo Real Bout the most. Back then I played at arcade center all day, mastering every characters to competitive level.

Another great video of, in my opinion, a definite hidden gem. Fatal Fury was lost in me in the 90s, but I came to really love it in the early 2000s. Classic!

Was an unpolished gem, but had so much character and potential. I really wish they improved on the 3 line system; with more buttons to take advantage of now, it wouldn't be as confusing as it was back then.

it was a good entry for me and the magazines really hyped it, the new sprites and characters looked great in those pages, the day I finally got to play it I really loved the new art and music direction, got into fights with Blue Mary and Franco Bash in their stages I was in awe.

It's hard because this game looks lovely some of the best stages ever like terrys yamazaki, they also introduced chaining mechanics ect, but looking back now it's easy to see why this game is a massive flop and to treat it like like a beta for real bout even though snk more than likely put there heart and soul into the game, but there's some serious issues pushback on normals air to airs causing hard knock downs and whoever thought that throws needed a 13 frame start up in 1995 needs to sent to the moon, HOWEVER i think a massive caveat for my opinions on the game are warped i did not play FF3 on release i played it in about 1997 1998 i think all those people that played this game on release i can see why they would love it 1995 was a different period to 1997-98

This game was the shit when it came out.

Weakest part about it was the game speed and character count. Also infinites, which were great for 1p but terrible for 2p vs.

This was the game that made us stop playing ss2. Till kof 95 came out, that took over everything.

This game had many cheats btw, super hard mode, secret supermoves, mini character fighters but your specials/supers remained the same 😂.

Also, the boss code. Beat the game, press load game, but you don't have to continue. Coolest part about it is they are also at the bar (after loading game press B starting from Terry and go over each character in a certain order pressing B each time).

Honestly, while ffs remains great, the line sway system is ass. All ff ganes onward on aes are worth playing. Best by far are rbff2 and motw.

Fatal Fury 3 is my favourite Part of the series!

An absolute masterpiece.

Oh i loved how faster it was

This game is in no way a good game. It has skeleton of a potentially great game. I hope one day there will be a “special” edition of the game that takes care of the infinite loops and other exploits, be it official or through mods. The real bout games evolved into something different from ff3, I think ff3 warrants its own update.

Loved this one. So many cool details.

Definitely an underrated gem and underappreciated story. Something you can't say for Mark of the wolves.

I had a REAL hard time learning Fatal Fury 3, but I love it so much! Andy's standing animation is his best in this game. Handling three lanes is quite hard and it's the only thing in the game that I dislike. All this considered, it's a wonderful game.

For me its the best one. I have the original AES cart still. The intro, character select, stages, win quotes.. its full of charm. Also the introduction of Yamazaki and Blue Mary.

Well not me, during that era, I waited to have a sequel of ff2/special. One of my favorite.

I've been going through the series from the first game and this is definitely my favorite so far. The plane system is vastly improved as well.

This game made the SNK staple FG. It introduced Hops, Sways (df+HP), I am not sure, but even FF3 has Guard Cancels, Command Normals. It definitely pulled away from Capcom SF2 staple. Great video.

My most favorite Fatal fury is Fatal fury 3.

It had the debut of Yamazaki which alone makes it a diamond.

To me 3 was absolutely an upgrade, added some great characters and I enjoyed the sway system more than the line one. Blue Mary and Yamazaki are among my top picks for returning characters for Garou 2.

Besides garou motf, and real bout special this is the best of the series

This is still my favorite Fatal Fury. It's only flaw being that the plane shift is about 90% accurate. But I still prefer how that feature works in this game.

Even though I'm more of a Real Bout fan than a Fatal Fury 3 fan, I enjoyed playing this one too. I liked the presentation and the graphics of this game, especially "breaking the 4th wall" when defeating opponents. 🤣

Edit : I also remember having that issue of Electric Gaming Monthly and being excited for Street Fighter Legends...I mean Alpha and Fatal Fury 3. My local arcade was buzzing with competition in both games.

This gem is not polished. It then shine in Real Bout.

Congrats. You've quoted Wikipedia word for word.

FF3 was not refined. The refined version is Real Bout.

I never realized how much I needed live action Fatal Fury in my life before seeing this. It's beautiful.
Staying on topic, FF3 is super underrated. I remember buying this on PC and being blown away by how fun it was.

SNK needs to release an English, online version of Real Bout Special: Dominated Mind with rollback and call it something like Fatal Fury Real Bout Special: Global Domination. The title being a play on the Global Match, Final/Ultimate Edition, and Dominated Mind subtitles on SNK games.

This game is work of art super underated
