The Fatal Fury Special Thread

Hi, i play this game too, on GGPO and Supercade. But the room almost always is empty. Hit me up if u want some matches. This game is great!, i also think that it deserves a HD treatment :smiley:

I main Krauser (even with his Shitty Kaiser Wave!) and Geese, but still play some Laurence and Billy

See u all online!!

Big Nico video playlist of recent high level Japanese matches:
???BLOG: 3.???

Those are some funny bugs in the bug video.

Just read this whole thread and didn’t see a single post about Kim.

Why is he so good? Could someone write up a guide for him? :slight_smile:

Everyone says “oh, kim’s in a league of his own.” but nobody ever says why.

The dive kick can punich so much stuff and is very safe. He has a super spammable SDM, which can easily be worked easily into combos. Big damage normal combos, and some high priority normals iirc.
Im pretty sure there is discussion of Kim back there somewhere… Also, watch some of his matches

i played vs teddy4fun also today… damn if he’s good
i lost sth like 20+ times… i managed to beat him just 3 ahah
his tung,duck,geese and terry are beastly…he knows how to use everyone ahah

I wanna know just WTF was going on there with most of those. Grabbing from anywhere? How the hell do you trigger something that insane?

Some of the dual-line stuff I saw I’d noticed myself when messing with the stage value in RAM. Something about trying to make it use a non-hazardous stage while a hazardous one’s loaded already makes those weird effects when knocked into the other line.

Also, what’s this about some kind of debug mode hidden in the XBLA FFS port? Information on that would be appreciated. Would love to be able to unlock ‘the 16th fighter’ on a friend’s console next time we have a gathering.

more people need to play this on GGPO…

Hi, FFS people. Could someone give me pointers with Big Bear in this game? (Yes, I know he sucks, bottom tier, etc.) We’re having a Fatal Fury blast playing the game with my friends, but this big guy gets stomped in my hands.

I’d appreciate any help, but also have specific questions:

  1. Is there any command grab input trick? I can perform it 50%, but my Bear often jumps in the air flapping his hands. Maybe there’re some buffer or wiff cancel exploit to stay on the ground?
  2. What are his plus frame moves? Useful for tickthrowing and preassure, of course. I’m gonna test this in the evening but maybe somebody can save me the effort.
  3. Best antiairs/antislide?

Lp shoulder at max range or outside of CLOSE range command throw, all his ticks are so slow, you could whiff a standing close lp and command throw but it’s SO SO SO SO slow, unless your opponant is prone to massive brain farts he’ll punish you after the first couple of times you land it

lp Shoulder charge is ok because it’s a way to get close quite safely, i can remember i think slides ruin it so you gotta be careful, i think drop kick blocked command throw also works, dont quote me on that, i’ve not played for a while

Outside a handful of situations your better off ignoring bears command grab and using his many normal grab. 9d choke hold even does more damage and possible set up out of it. You’ll want to use command grab like some type of reversal for people or underestimate its range or gap in pressure strings. But bears regular throw are more consistent and at times mostly better. Though it is possible to combo the command from up close lp so its not useless.

I’d be up for some games of FFSP on Fightcade sometime if anyone is interested.

It combos? Like in cl.Lp xx grab = no escape? I assumed that FFS has SF-like system where you avoid all throw attempts by jumping.

Not sure if you’re confusing Jab FIghter 4 with Street Fighter, but SF is not like that. At all. The only way out of tick-throws is a reversal. Reversal throw, reversal invulnerable special, or reversal instantly-airborne special. Or super, in case of ST, Alpha and EX.

Yes, I meant Street Fighter 4 - not SSF2T or other “true” entries in the SF franchise. My ignorance is limitless…
