I've FINALLY one-credit Fatal Fury 2 on Normal using Terry. The Burn Knuckle was surprisingly effective against Axel and Laurence, using it against them early on during each match. The best technique against Krauser is to jump towards him with an oversway punch and then do a body blow (forward plus Strong Punch) when you're near him. For some reason, he can't block the body blow. How come the Fatal Fury and Art of Fighting compilations are missing some of the voice samples? In Art of Fighting 1, only Robert's voice clips were featured and in Fatal Fury 2 and Special, all of the ending voice clips are missing too. Was it some stupid localization policy SCEA enforced on SNK Playmore? I read something about Sony forcing SNK to dub the dialogue in the American version of KOF Maximum Impact BTW, the girl who is dining with Terry at his ending is named Medea Khmer. She's from a Garou Densetsu manga that was serialized in Gamest. I remember she's supposedly the inspiration for Blue Mary. bohyou.vis.ne.jp/neogeo/fatalfury/fatalfury_leo.htmEDIT: I noticed that regardless of which character you choose to be the first opponent, the game will always forced you to face the game's initial opponents in a pre-determined order. Fatal Fury Duck King Richard Meyer Michael Max Tung Fu Rue Fatal Fury 2 Terry Bear Kim Andy Cheng Mai Joe Jubei Fatal Fury Special Terry Bear Joe Tung Jubei Kim Cheng Andy Mai Duck In Fatal Fury 3 it seems to be slightly more random.

So what's the precise method of reaching Jin Chonrei in the one-player mode? I reached Chonshu, but the game ends after I beat him with no Chonrei fight. I know it has something to do with the your winning average since I usually don't reach Chonshu unless my loses are less than half of my winnings.

I have no idea, but I bet it has to do with your rank in defeating the other characters. Just look it up on Gamefaqs.

I have the all about SNK book ready right now: It says you need to have at least 180/210 Points you get the best ending (I can't read what it's about with the / right now, maybe 180 to reach Chonrei and 210 to not get the inferior ending??)
Points are: S 25 AAA 17 AA 12 A 9 B 7 C 5 D 3 E 1

You can beat Chonshu without fighting Chonrei and still get the good ending. You only get the bad ending when you defeat Yamazaki without getting to either of the Jins.
Does losing a round or having to continue reduces your points?

It doesn't say anything about points being reduced, but I'd guess points you get from winning a single round before you use a credit won't accumulate.

Source?
While Real Bout 2 may not have a proper plot like the other Fatal Fury games, it had some actual character development in some of the endings (i.e: Tung Fu Rue training Jin Chonrei). Just because all of it didn't make sense (like Krauser being alive).
I also have the same issue with Li Xiangfei's description with the KOF article. Not that canon is that important in fighting games, but still...

Quick Google search brought up this:
"Real Bout 2 is not part of the official storyline, but introduced two new characters, Li Xiangfei and Rick Strowd, the former of which would later appear in The King of Fighters series. The game also featured a new hidden boss named Alfred. In "ALL ABOUT SNK Taisen Kakutou Game 1991-2000" (ISBN 4-88554-677-X), the game is specifically stated to have no relevant story in the Fatal Fury universe, and the events depicted therein are not canon. "
I have the book but I'll have to dig it out.

You took that from some wiki, right? I don't trust wikis very much, says a lot of BS tend to fill through there and passed off as fact. I have seen bios for the Street Fighter EX characters in StrategyWiki that were basically fan-fiction posing as canon. But I disgress.
I heard contradicting statements from one owner of the book which says that the book never makes such a remark and actually has a story section for RB2, unlike the two Garou Densetsu games with "Special" in its title. Then again, one Japanese fansite (Red Cyclone) says that Real Bout 2 is non-canon due to Krauser being alive in that game (he supposedly commits suicide after losing to Terry).
Either way, the last line in Rick Strowd 's bio is totally speculative and unnecessary. Same thing with the use of the "non-canon" adjective used in Li Xiangfei's description for the KOF article. "Canon" are exactly the most important thing in those games.

Yeah I checked in the book. My Japanese isn't good enough to specifically pick up anything, but I couldn't find any remarks about it being non-canon. For comparisons, the "Real Bout Special" section specifically says there's no story, but "Real Bout 2" does talk a little bit about Rick Strowd in the Story section.

Ok, I'm just wondering, but did anybody else find Billy Kane really hard to beat in Fatal Fury 1, using Terry? Because I did, and it's more annoying because aI know Terry is the one to have beat Billy in the storyline. (Well I think he is, based on KoF: MI2)
Also, anybody have any good ways to beat him using Terry? (I don't really care about the other 2 in FF1)

He's not too hard in my opinion. He's very susceptible to throws and you can Burn Knuckle him when he recovers his staff.

(I don't really care about the other 2 in FF1) He's not hard when you know what you are doing: -When close, always stay crouching to dodge his pole-assisted kick (which hits from behind, by the way) -When far, Power Wave. Always Power Wave when he's getting up from the ground. -When he has no pole, quickly spam weak Burn Knuckle one after the other. It drains his energy slowly and he won't be able to retrieve his pole.

Bumping this because of the great updates! I don't think the Dominated Mind stuff was there before. I never noticed it before, but yeah, White totally looks like Malcolm McDowell in Clockwork Orange.

Yeah, it was. Content-wise, there are some more screens, and a little a bit about that bonus DVD, which is where that Mark of the Wolves-era Blue Mary pic came from. For the longest time, everyone thought it was confirmation of a Mark of the Wolves 2.
