== Introduction ==
== Introduction ==
Fatal Fury Special is the updated version of Fatal Fury 2 for the Neo Geo MVS (Arcade), and Neo Geo AES (Home Console). Notable changes to the game include faster gameplay and a combo system. All characters from Fatal Fury 2 return, with bosses Billy Kane, Axel Hawk, Laurence Blood, and Wolfgang Krauser now playable. Duck King, Tung Fu Rue, and Geese Howard from the original Fatal Fury are also added to the roster, with Geese acting as a sub-boss to Krauser. Ryo Sakazaki, the main character from Art of Fighting, appears as a secret boss and is playable in the home versions of the game.
Fatal Fury Special (餓狼伝説SPECIAL in Japan) is the updated version of [[Fatal Fury 2|Fatal Fury 2]] for the Neo Geo, doubling the number of playable characters while adding new moves and revamped mechanics. Included in the cast is all boss characters of Fatal Fury 2 as well as favorites from Fatal Fury 1 and even a secret crossover with Art of Fighting's Ryo Sakazaki.  


Fatal Fury Special is available on the Wii Virtual Console, Xbox Live Arcade, and the PS2 in Fatal Fury Battle Archives Vol. 1. Other home versions exist that predate this consoles on the Sega CD, Turbo CD, and SNES. A handheld version (with only 9 characters), is on the Game Gear.
Characterized by its high damage combos, invincible cancellable backdashes and the series' signature lane system, Fatal Fury Special has remained a classic of Japanese arcades, developing a rich competitive history over decades of tournaments. To this day, the FATAL FURY SPECIAL WORLD CUP is held every year at Mikado Game Center.
