Ranking Fatal Fury Games From Worst To Best

Garou still needs a sequel to this day

I always admired the Fatal Fury Franchise, this Series is where it all started the entirety of SNK Fighting Games.

SF3: Who are you? Garou MOTW: I'm you but better.

Such a fitting ending to the video good list.

Regarding MotW's name, the Dreamcast version was actually localized as Fatal Fury: Mark of the Wolves. The name change only affected the overseas market because in Japan all FF games are actually called Garou Densetsu (lit. Legend of the Hungry Wolf ). I know you know this Shoryu but maybe other viewers don't ;)

These games always felt more fun and felt like they had more energy, more personality, more style than the KOF series honestly. Then again its VERY 90s and I've always loved that aesthetic.

I got into Fatal Fury on the PS2 with Fatal Fury Archives vol.2. I would play Real Bout for days lol.

Real Bout Fatal Fury 2 and Garou are available to play online with rollback for free on Fightcade 2

Just started getting more into fighting games and I gotta say, Real bout Fatal fury 2 is one of my favorites.

RBS and Garou. RBS is the most entertaining fighting game I've ever played.

I loved the out of Bounds mechanic lol. It adds a strange mechanic to deal with.

There should have been part 2 and 3 of garou mark of the wolves it was an excellent game.

Garou was and still is a master piece, the graphics, gameplay and roster ♥️

Literally just checked your channel to see if you uploaded and 1 min ago an upload. You read my mind :)

I think my problem with older Fatal Fury games is that I didn't even know about it until I played KOF 95. And that wasn't even in 95 lol. So I had to go backwards playing Fatal Fury and they, in my mind, did not stand up to what I experienced in Kof 95 which was the Orochi saga. But I did appreciate the backstory I learned while playing! SNK has always done a fantastic job of actually having a story. The real bouts were the gems of this series for sure. Garou Densetsu wild ambition! Now this game definitely deserves its status as the best Fatal Fury of all time! I loved playing with Khushnood Butt and rock Howard! Great list Shoryu!

Good list overall, I’m not as big of a fan for garou as most people are because the game literally introduced a completely different roster out of nowhere when I already was used to the original roster that I always was able to play with. Plus although the game looks good I don’t think the gameplay flows as well as real bout special and real bout 2. The music is also average to me. Kind of weird to see dominated mind ranked so low compared to real bout special but I can see your point in the ranking. My ranking would be 10. Fatal fury 1(The game doesn’t hold up well compared to the others) 9. Fatal fury wild ambition (Gameplay is solid but also pretty clunky and graphically it looks ugly) 8. Fatal fury 2 (Good sequel but other sequels were much better) 7. Real bout fatal fury (Had some good ideas but once again it’s sequels were just better games with a better roster) 6. fatal fury 3 (Game looks and plays great, it’s just another example of the sequels being better) 5. Fatal fury special (Better than the second game in every way, by far the best of the classic style fatal fury games. Had this game been the one to introduce super moves it would be higher in my list) 4. Garou mark of wolves (Already stayed my opinion on it but still a beautiful looking game with interesting new characters and SF third strike type of gameplay) 3. Fatal fury dominated mind (A less interesting but still really good port of real bout special with some extra modes and characters) 2. Real bout fatal fury special (Love the art style, the music is fantastic, the roster is solid and the combo system is great. There isn’t really anything negative I can say about this game except blue Mary blues should’ve been longer) 1. Real bout 2 (Everything I said about real bout special with extra characters, better looking sprites and really fast and fun gameplay. This is the quintessential fatal fury game to me)

One of my favorite fighting game series of all time. Fatal Fury series was such an innovative franchise, thank you for giving the series the respect it deserves.

Real Bout 2 is massively underrated. That game is fucking gorgeous. My personal soft spot is for FF3 since it was Yamazaki's debut and that's my favorite FF/KOF character of all time.

Nostalgia ! You know that's one of the main many reasons we're here with you !! 😌 Agreed to your ranking !

I'm glad someone is finally showing some love for Fatal Fury 3, that game to this day has my favorite presentation of any SNK game and possibly any fighting game out there and one of the best video game soundtracks ever created, it'd be my number 1 easily, but I can completely understand why people would prefer Garou, it's just as good in many departments and it's a lot easier to get into.
