Play Fatal Fury - King of Fighters / Garou Densetsu - shukumei no tatakai Online

Game Overview

Fatal Fury: King of Fighters (or Garou Densetsu if you're going by its Japanese name) is one of those arcade fighters that just feels right when you slam a quarter into the machine. The controls are tight, the characters have weight to their movements, and landing a well-timed special move—like Terry Bogard’s Burn Knuckle—never gets old.

What I love about this one is how it balances simplicity with depth. You’ve got your basic punches and kicks, sure, but then there’s the two-plane system where you can dodge attacks by hopping between foreground and background. Took me a few matches to stop whiffing my combos because of it, but once it clicks, fights feel way more dynamic than your average button-masher.

And the roster? Classic SNK weirdness in the best way. From the cocky Andy Bogard to the downright bizarre Raiden (yes, the pro wrestler), everyone plays differently. Geese Howard’s still a nightmare to fight, though—some things never change. If you’re into 90s arcade fighters with personality, this one’s a must.
