The first fight game for Neo Geo has never been a smooth one to play for me, Fatal Fury has the great merit to kickstart a couple of my most beloved franchises. SF2 came out a few months before this and murders this one from a playability standpoint, but as a terrible player and a passionate fan of story modes in videogames, I couldn't help by enjoy a lot the formula chosen - even if just 3 playable character is really poor. About half of the cast is iconic (the only real dud being the Balrog clone, Michael Max), and the story while simple was moving in the right direction, it just needed to be expanded. It has to be treated and judged as the seminal work it was. Developed independently by one of the creators of the original Street Fighter, it's just like the original SF was: a very underwhelming, and poorly aged grandfather of a great franchise.
Character mistake: One of the cutscenes of the game happens between the 5th and 6th round, Hwa Jai and Raiden. Geese, the main villain, botches the name of his henchman saying "Riden." (Fixed in the SNES and Genesis version, still in the various versions on Playstation).
