Released sometime after Real Bout Fatal Fury, it's pretty much the same with
some more characters added to the mix. It's like Real Bout Fatal Fury mixed in
with Fatal Fury Special

Real Bout Fatal Fury Special and its characters are trademarks of SNK n'all

This FAQ/Movelist is the sole copyright of Andrea "Azul Fria" Castillo aka
Ice Queen Zero and cannot be put on other sites or posted without my given
permission nor can it be reproduced w/o proper consent.
In addition to fake moves, you can also perform attacks on downed opponent or
while getting up with some characters. They are refered to as Pursuit and
Recovery Attacks respectively
Super Moves are done when the Super Meter is filled or when energy is flashing
red. We refer to them as S. Power Moves
Potential Moves are done when health bar is flashing and when the Super Meter
gets past S.Power (which is only possible after the former).
Some moves have the ability to knock an opponent into the foreground and into
the background.
While Overswaying can dodge attacks. There are some attacks that can hit an
opponent regardless of where on the screen he/she is.
Be careful on the sides of the stage. You can be knocked off the sides and
automatically lose the match if the wall is broken.
A button = Punch
B button = Kick
C button = Heavy Attack
D button = Oversway/hit overswaying opponent
Dash = f, f
Backdash = b, b
Dash Jump, f, f, uf
Jump = up, u, or uf
Quick jump = tap up, u, or uf
Crouch = db, d, or df
Taunt = C when stick is centered and far
Block= b while being attacked high or standing, or db while being attacked low.
Air block = b in air
Center attack: any button while in back or foreground
Body Toss = b or f + C when near opponent.
o--------------------o
SYSTEM
o--------------------o
Each character has a fake move. These moves are used to fool enemies into
acting upon a move that only goes through the start-up animation. Most of them
are done by pressing different buttons at the end of the move and some of the
fakes are completely different motions.
Super Moves are done when strength is low.
Hidden Moves are first activated by pressing ABCD + Start and your name will be
a green color. When your health is dangerously low, execute certain actions to
ready each character's hidden move. Most of them are done via combo.
Each character has a set of special moves in addition to the normal attacks
given to them. They are executed by moving the joystick in a certain sequence
and pressing the appropiate attack button.
