Hey sweet! I got this page all to myself! As for the game, I've said it once and i'll say it again: I could care less about Fatal Fury! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!

Sorry Mr. Cheez, you'll have to share.

I never got into fighters, they looked cool and all, and they were kinda fun, but I could never get into them. Would this be a good game to start with? If not, what would be?

aw poopy. Well i'm just happy to get first comment on something finally.

And so FF2 already becomes obsolete...
Edit: Damnit. That's just what you guys from VC Reviews also wrote up there. ^^

All we need now is World Heroes Jet to make the first two World Heroes games obsolete. Yey!

I want to fight on 3 planes instead of 2. Oh well I guess I'll have to wait for Fatal Fury: Special Perfect mark of wolves fighting edition 97.
It was 151 megs

Super Smash Bros. Brawl...

Yes it's vary different from just about everything else, But then you can't really find a better place to start...

Melee is better balanced, But it's learning curve for the advanced stuff is quite high even for someone who spends most there time playing games...

Brawl is easy to pick up & easy enough to get good at... (Getting REALLY good at it is another story though)

But if you really want to stick with the conventional stuff, You can't go wrong with Street Fighter 2 (Get Turbo if you ever want to play competitively with it, Super is great but it's not the best version when it comes to doing what it does the best)

IMO Brawl is WELL worth the money though... Even if you don't find yourself liking it as a Fighter, Its got a massive Platforming game that well take you at least 8 to 10 hours just to beat it and around another 30 or so hours to complete it (If you're good)

@Surgical Precision

I had a feeling someone would mention that. SSB is a completely different beast from the likes of Fatal Fury and Street Fighters, and should not be considered an entry level fighter parse, sinse tactics used in SSBB don't really work in most 2D fighters. Trust me, I've played and exceled(though that is a bit strong of a word) in all of the Super Smash Bros. games, yet I can't even begin to concieve the complexity of these games.

I need something that doesn't have an entirely extensive list of moves, yet still plays like a regular fighter. What I'm asking is, what would be a good transition game(from SSB to Street Fighters).

So is this the same as Fatal Fury 2? I might give this a download since i kinda like the Fatal Fury games fro some reason even if they are the early editions.

@Mickeymac

Well... Street Fighter 2... I'm sorry but that is roughly as basic as it gets considering that most fighters today come from the concepts originally introduced in that game...

The special move command sequences are a standard used in almost every fighter that followed that game & the ones that came before it look & play almost nothing like what you want at all...

It's easier then you might think... Every character only has 3 to 5 special moves (Most 4 & only one actually has 5)

Just look up gfaq's and pick just one character to work with at a time...

You'll be annoyed by it a little at first but once you get the system down you'll probably come to see the game as too easy because unlike games like SSB you can only take the mind games so far...

Thank you Surgical Precision! I always wanted to try fighters, but most were far too complicated, so I really needed that. Now if my brother will let me try that Street Fighters game he's got, I'll be able to add another genre of games to my repetoire.

And if not there's always zsnes or mame! to help you try it out... lol

Isn't this one of the best Fatal Fury games?
It has Billy Kane playable, Finally!

According to reviews this is one of the better Fatal Fury games, so I really hope it comes to Europe as well! Since we´ve gotten every Neo Geo game so far, my hopes are high.

I guess the Real Bout Fatal Fury series and Garou are even better, but since this peaks the "regular" series it´s a must buy for me!

I tried that Street Fighters rom, it was pretty fun, once I found a good faq. I would've tried this one, if I could've gotten the dang Neo Geo emulator to work. I really think if I keep on trying, I could really get into fighters, though, at the moment, they do seem a little overwhelming, and I'm not used to putting so much work into a game.

I'm not sure though, should I go with Street Fighters, or Fatal Fury - I've already put some work into SF, but FF has those two really cool guys from King of Fighters '94. I suppose I'll go with both eventually, but really, I need to decide which one I should get first.

My advice is try your hand at SF first... (Turbo if you plain on buying it) As it's just plain easier to pick up & the system is less broken then the FF games... (Not saying they're bad, Just a whole lot harder & less evenly balanced)

The FF games didn't really reach the same level of balanced game play until it switched out its main name for its subtitle back in 1994. (The King of Fighters)

Any of the later KoF games are great but they (Even on the easiest difficulty setting) make most other fighters look down right easy by comparison!

This is a wonderful thing for a seasoned pro, But not a beginner...

The SFA series or Marvel vs Capcom 1&2 would be a good next step after SF... Then FF or KoF... (Just my opinion, But it should make things easier on you)

Actually Fatal Fury 3 is by far the best in the regular series. Then the Real Bouts took Fatal Fury to the next level. The Garou just pretty much destroyed almost every 2D fighter ever created (except Last Blade ).

Street Fighter is a much more easier fighter to get into. Once you get use to those, you can upgrade to one of the better fighters on the Neo Geo. If you are just getting into fighters though, stick to Street Fighter for the time being.

Thank you everybody for your opinions, I appreciate it. I think I'll go with Super Street Fighters II: The New Challengers (since that was the rom I had been playing) the next time I buy a VC game, Even if this does have Joe and Terry from that King of Fighters game I played.

Give me Windjammers and I'll be happy.

I just realized this was released on XBLA like, a year ago. That might explain why it was rated already. It'll still probably come to VC, but...come on!

Well youre right that it was rated already, but it was only recently that it was rated specifically for Wii.

wow who ever is playin that is really bad:p

@Adroitone

I was just about to ask how this compared to the rest of the series, since the collections are pretty cheap nowadays. I'll try to pick them up when I can.

Keep in mind that most SNK collection have crappy emulation.

@ Adroitone when you say SNK volume collections do you mean the Wii version or the PS2 version?

@Adroitone

I heard Fatal Fury Volume 2 was better than most of the other compilations, and since that's the one I'm interested in anyways, I don't see that as much of a concern.

@Slangman

The Wii collections are pretty good, at least that's what I heard, but the PS2 versions tend to have glitches.
