      God Of War Ragnarök

      Dec 1, 2022

      Like its series-rebooting 2018 predecessor, God Of War Ragnarök is a ‘single-shot’ narrative, its camera never losing sight of the core cast as they rove the realms of Norse mythology, fighting through forests of cyclopean fungus, and braving the hei

    The Ultimate Reference Guide to SNES Fighting Games - BlackNES Guy

    About This Book

    Welcome to the first Fighting Game Reference Guide by the BlackNES Guy! This book is a collection of eight popular fighting games released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Many of the games were featured on other consoles and/or arcade cabinets, with special characters and events specific to each release. While the versions may share similarities, this guide assumes players are using the SNES versions.

    Fighting games have been popular among video gamers since their invention. Part of their fun is playing against your friends in real time. For the Special Moves portion of this guide, it is assumed that the player begins on the left side of the screen. If you are playing with friends, Player 2 will begin on the right side of the screen. In that case, some moves may need to be altered. → represents moving forward (the forward direction for Player 1) and ← represents moving backwards (the backward direction for Player 1). It is also assumed that players use the original button setup. If you decide to switch your button arrangement, the Special Moves instructions will not match your new setup.

    Each section in this book contains information about the game’s history, storyline, and controls. Playable and special characters each have their own page with personal information and Special Moves listed. Part of the page has been left blank for you to add your own notes about the character, their weaknesses, your strategies, and your favorite move combinations. Every player will have their own ideas about how to play a character. It’s up to you to discover how you play best.

    There are plenty of tips and cheats throughout this book, but there are also many left out for you to uncover on your own. This guide is not meant to be used as a comprehensive, in depth guide, unlike other books we have released. Instead, it is meant to mimic the days where we sat on our living room floors and flipped through manuals. We have included more information than those original manuals and compiled several games all in one place.

    Plug in your SNES and turn on your childhood. With this guide, moves are easy to learn, but they will take practice to master.

    Fatal Fury

    History

    Originally released on the Neo Geo arcade machine and home system in 1991, Fatal Fury’s full title was Fatal Fury: King of Fighters or Garo Densetsu Shukumei no Tatakai, (translated as Legend of the Hungry Wolf: The Battle of Destiny). It was the first fighting game released by SNK and was directed by Takashi Nishiyama, the creator of Street Fighter. Since this game’s release, the franchise has spawned several sequels as well as three animated movies. The games have been ported to arcade machines, consoles, handheld electronics and PCs.

    Gameplay follows the typical style of fighting games. Each character has their own special moves and must fight an opponent. Special to Fatal Fury was their inclusion of two lane gameplay. Many stages feature two areas that players can battle in: the foreground and the background. Players can move between these areas during matches. There are also mini-games built in after every second match in the storyline.

    Story

    South Town is ruled by three things: Violence, Money, and Power. All under the control of the evil and brutal Geese Howard.

    Brothers Terry and Andy Bogard have good reason to hate Geese, as he is responsible for the untimely death of their father, a former great martial arts expert.

    Their chance comes with the King of the Fighters Tournament. It is the ultimate gathering of fighters from all over the World, experts in all the different techniques of the martial arts. Sponsored by Geese, who will also participate as a fighter, the brothers have teamed up with their friend Joe Higashi, a Mu-e-tai Champ. Now is the perfect time for Terry and Andy to seek their revenge!

    Tips, Tricks, & Trivia

    Play as a Bad Guy. When you enter the street fight and it is the 2nd players turn to choose a fighter, press down on the control pad. You will now have the option to play as one of the random cronies normally found in the background.

    Two plane system. Fatal Fury was one of the first fighting games to implement a two-plane system.

    Geese goes gospel. Kong Kuwata, the voice actor for Geese Howard, is also a gospel singer.

    Street Fury. Fatal Fury was released soon after Street Fighter, causing an uproar among fans across the globe who considered Fatal Fury to be a copycat version of Street Fighter.

    Beat Geese Howard. When playing with Terry Bogard, Geese does not defend himself from Terry’s Burning Knuckle and Power Wave. Spam these moves to bring him down fast.

    Piston & Finish. Series producers Takashi Nishiyama and Hiroshi Matsumoto were the planners of the original Street Fighter, where they were credited as Piston Takashi and Finish Hiroshi.

    Characters

    Andy Bogard

    Terry Bogard’s younger brother. While a fair fighter, Andy’s slight stature kept him from being as strong as his brother, using the skills that they were both taught. After his father’s death, Andy left for Japan—where he learned toe special ‘Kop-po’ fighting technique. He returns to South Town for a double purpose; to avenge his father’s death, and to show that he can ‘beat’ his big brother in a fair fight.

    Birthday: 8/16/72  Height: 5’8"  Weight: 147 lbs.

    Fighting Style: The skills from Kop-Po turn his entire body into a lethal weapon

    Your Notes & Strategies

    Billy Kane

    An absolute master with the javelin, Kane is called ‘the Walking Weapon’. Banished from Greece, he now serves as Geese Howard’s right-hand man. He is even more ruthless and inhuman than his master, and is also the defending champion of the King of Fighter’s
