    Art of Fighting is actually a prequel to Fatal Fury and Ryo's story happens 10 years (approximately) before Terry's. So his appearance here was just a non-canonical dream match.
    A proper older version of Ryo appears in Fatal Fury WIld Ambition (a remake of the first Fatal Fury) tho.
    (KOF has its own separate timeline where SNK just ignores the time difference)

      @@conradojavier7547 KoF is an alternate timeline to the AoF/FF storyline. In KoF Ryo and Terry are much closer in age (so Yuri's kidnapping happened around the same time as the first FF), Geese Howard actually accepted Terry's help at the end of Real Bout, so he's still alive (and has developed respect for Terry as a fighter), Krauser didn't commit suicide, etc. Also, it's possible that many KoF events didn't take place (for example, SouthTown wasn't destroyed like in KoF 2000).
      But then, KoF Maximum Impact came and established itself as part of the original FF timeline and everything became even messier.

    Also just a note, while Ryo was the first hidden fighting game boss fight, he wasn't the first hidden fighting game character. That honour goes to Reptile from the original Mortal Kombat, which predates FF Special by a year.

      I think it's the capturing software more than the emulator itself, also RUclips'd have to be running perfectly for it to not flicker so much, so that's also something to take into account.

    • @dtester
      @dtester 3 года назад +1

      Technically the shadows did flicker but it was at high speeds to somewhat simulate transparency. This might suggest the video was captured on a lower framerate causing a choppy look.

    Besides the old April Fools' joke regarding Sheng Long in Street Fighter II, weren't the super moves and 'hidden' final boss in Fatal Fury SPECIAL the inspiration for Capcom to produce Super Turbo? I kinda think it's the same case for ADK's World Heroes 2 JET as well.

    Greetings from Brazil. You have a Great channel and i've been waiting you talk about FF Special. Is so nostalgic and reminds me greats moments of my childhood.
    I remember when i play it for the first time, i was 4 years old, a cousing show me and played with me. i didn't know how to spell the game name because it was in Japanese, so i called Takara 😂. It was the first screen name. I just found the game 12 years later in a store. I was searching this game all my life just to hear the Geese Theme again.
    So, try to hear the Snes version of geese theme 💜 is perfect, you will understand when you heard.

    Great video once again Top Hat. Also yes the Game Gear version of Fatal Fury Special is actually INCREDIBLY impressive and completely playable even with the cuts that had to be made to it, which is understandable given the hardware it was on. Still, Takara deserves a huge amount of props for having a solid version on the handheld. Takara's Game Gear port of Samurai Shodown is also legit solid. It also had to have cuts made to it but like the GG port of Fatal Fury Special it's still a VERY impressive version that's totally playable.

    Mega CD could be much better, a missed opportunity.

    Ryo's inclusion doesn't make it a crossover game. Art of Fighting is a prequel of sorts to Fatal Fury, so he already belongs in that universe and isn't out of place at all. At best, he could be considered a guest character. But that doesn't make Fatal Fury Special a crossover game any more than Link's inclusion in SoulCalibur II makes it a crossover with Zelda, or Kratos' inclusion in Mortal Kombat 9 makes it a crossover with God of War, even though those characters had their own stories created to explain why there were there. While Fatal Fury Special may have inspired King of Fighters, it wasn't actually until King of Fighters '94 where we actually saw the first true crossover (as well as the first tag-team based fighter) with SNK bringing in lots of characters from totally separate universes, including Art of Fighting and Fatal Fury obviously, but also Ikari Warriors and Psycho Soldier and a bunch of new characters created specifically for the game.

    With playable characters, yes. But Final Fight 2 has Chun Li and Guile in the stages.
    EDIT: Oh, I forgot. Slam Masters was released BEFORE FF Special. Haggar is a playable character, so it's the first crossover in fighting games.

    Loved the video 📹thanks. I played art of fighting and fatal fury and street fighter 2 in the arcade and saga genesis console. The difference between both games to me" the arcade and consoles version's is that snk dose a better job at storie telling for one player mode and the artwork and design are beautiful but when it comes to the fighting mechanics is so complicated and complex compared to street fighter 2 snk fighting games to me you need to play and play just to get the fighting mechanics down compared to street fighter it was smoother and the fighting system was fun and the more you play the more you found out difference combo's and jabs you can do "that to this day fighting games still copy and play. Street fighter didn't have a intriguing storyline like art of fighting or fatal fury but street fighter 2 had a better smoother fighting style that anyone can get into and didn't Matter what the storyline was at the end of the day you just wanted to beat up your friends and family members and tell them im the best. So in my opinion snk was better at one player mode storyline and street fighter was just a better fighting game to practice and get better and find new ways to get involved in that style of fighting game that continue to evolve to this day with street fighter alpha and street fighter vs xmen capcom vs marvel and the rest well you guys know already" but what im trying to say is that that system street fighter 2 was using is still relevant to this day.

    I always remember reading about the Neo Geo and even Turboduo, gfx, snk, etc. There certainly seemed to be a lot of fighting games of different types. I used to read all the King of Monsters articles since I was a fan of old games like Mail order monsters, Rampage, Movie Monsters.. etc. Naturally, ads and articles had these games as well though I think the only game I managed to play was Samurai Showdown and I can't recall if that was Neo Geo or not. Lately, I've been looking at Double Dragon and a nifty entry Double Dragon Neon. I'll go through the backlog and see if you've covered Double Dragon. Lordy, I still recall the cartoon series.

      M L mr karate and ryo are also pretty much pallet swaps too. Just one has a mask. But gosh does Akuma look allot like art of fighting 1 ryo lol.

    • @victorq4842
      @victorq4842 4 года назад

      M L yeah I’m sure he was too. Wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest that capcom copied SNK especially since they probably think that art of fighting was a rip off of street fighter
