Fatal Fury is a 1991 fighting game developed by SNK for the SNES. It introduces players to the gritty streets of South Town and the inaugural King of Fighters tournament. You choose from three martial arts mastersโTerry Bogard, Andy Bogard, or Joe Higashiโto battle through a roster of formidable opponents and ultimately take down the crime lord Geese Howard.
How to play
Matches are won by depleting your opponent’s health bar across best-of-three rounds. The game stands out with its two-plane fighting system, allowing characters to dodge attacks by moving between the foreground and background during certain stages. Master each character’s unique special moves using directional inputs combined with attacks.

Tips
- Special moves like Terry’s Burn Knuckle or Joe’s Hurricane Uppercut require precise joystick motions; practice the timing in the two-player mode to execute them reliably.
- Use the two-plane system defensively to avoid incoming projectiles and immediately counterattack as you jump back into the active plane.
- Watch your opponent’s attack patterns, as the AI often leaves itself open after whiffing heavy attacks or special moves.
