It is the fifth installment in the ''[[Fatal Fury (series)|Fatal Fury]]'' series, following ''[[Fatal Fury 3: Road to the Final Victory]]''. Ports of ''Real Bout'' were released for the [[Neo-Geo CD]], [[PlayStation (console)|PlayStation]] (in [[Japan]] and the [[PAL region]])<ref>An American version was advertised alongside the PlayStation ports of ''[[Samurai Shodown III]]'' and ''[[The King of Fighters '95]]'', but was never released.</ref> and the [[Sega Saturn]] (which requires SNK's 1MB RAM cartridge for the system). The game was later included in ''Fatal Fury Battle Archives Vol. 2'', a compilation released for the [[PlayStation 2]]. ==Gameplay== ''Real Bout'' changes the play controls from the previous ''Fatal Fury'' games, reducing the number of attack buttons from four to three: a standard Punch and Kick button, a "Strong Attack" button which can be either, a stronger punch or kick attack, depending on the character. The game retains the three-plane "oversway" system from ''Fatal Fury 3'', which features a main lane for fighting, with foreground and background planes used to avoid attacks or leap towards the opponent. A dedicated button is now used to make an "oversway" (or change plane) towards the background or foreground. ''Real Bout'' introduces a Power Gauge which fills up as player performs normal or special techniques against their opponent or defend themselves, similar to many super move gauges featured in other fighting games. The Power Gauge allows players to perform one of three types of Special Techniques, depending of the level of the Power Gauge. *When the gauge is at least half-full and colored yellow, the player can perform "Guard Cancels", which are special counterattacks that can be performed by the player after blocking an opponent's attack. They do not consume any filled portion of the Power Gauge. *When the Power Gauge reaches MAX level while the player still has more than half of his life gauge remaining, then the Power Gauge will enter "S. Power" level. The energy in the Power Gauge will begin to deplete gradually and during that time, the player can perform "Guard Cancels or a "Super Special Move" (a powerful Special Move). However, once a Super Special Move is performed, the remaining energy in the Power Gauge will be consumed and the Power Gauge will return to its initial state. *When the Power Gauge reaches MAX level while the player has less than half of his life gauge remaining (when the life gauge is flashing red), the Power Gauge will enter "P. Power" level. In this state, the Power Gauge will gradually drain, but the player can perform both, Guard Cancels and Super Specials, indefinitely until the gauge runs out. The player can also perform a "Hidden Ability", an even more powerful Special Move (several to the Hidden Abilities in previous game), which will consume the remaining Power Gauge at this state. ''Real Bout'' also introduces stages with ring-outs, a gameplay feature previous introduced in 3D fighting games such as ''[[Virtua Fighter (arcade game)|Virtua Fighter]]''. If the player performs certain attacks on their opponent while next to the boundaries, the character will eventually destroy the barrier keeping the opponent in the ring and be able to knock them out of the stage for an easy win. ==Characters== The game retains the character roster from ''Fatal Fury 3'', with the boss characters ([[Ryuji Yamazaki]], [[List of Fatal Fury characters#Jin Chonrei|Jin Chonrei]] and [[List of Fatal Fury characters#Jin Chonshu|Jin Chonshu]]) now part of the regular cast. [[List of Fatal Fury characters#Duck King|Duck King]], [[Billy Kane]] and [[Kim Kaphwan]], who were all last featured in ''[[Fatal Fury Special]]'', are added to the cast. Series' [[antagonist]] [[Geese Howard]] reprises his role from the original ''[[Fatal Fury: King of Fighters|Fatal Fury]]'' as the game's final boss. ''Real Bout'' was Geese Howard's final appearance in the ''Fatal Fury'' storyline, as the game's ending with [[Terry Bogard|Terry]] or [[List of Fatal Fury characters#Andy Bogard|Andy]] depicts the character's demise at the hands of either brother by falling off the roof of his tower. This was reflected by SNK's [[tagline]] for the game, {{nihongo|"''So long, Geese!''"|さらば、ギース|Saraba, Gīsu}}. ==Notes== {{reflist}} ==External links== *{{KLOV game|id=9275|name=Real Bout Fatal Fury}} *{{GameFAQs|type=/console/neogeo|num=565691|name=''Real Bout Fatal Fury''}} {{Fatal Fury}} [[Category:1995 video games]] [[Category:SNK games]] [[Category:Arcade games]] [[Category:Neo-Geo games]] [[Category:Neo Geo CD games]] [[Category:Sega Saturn games]] [[Category:PlayStation games]] [[Category:PlayStation Network games]] [[Category:Versus fighting games]] [[es:Real Bout Fatal Fury]] [[fr:Real Bout Fatal Fury]] [[ko:리얼바웃 아랑전설]] [[ja:リアルバウト餓狼伝説]]
