nihongo|"Fatal Fury 2"|餓狼伝説2 新たなる闘い|Garō Densetsu Tsū Aratanaru Tatakai|"Legend of the Hungry Wolf 2: The New Battle" is a 1992 fighting game released by SNK for the Neo Geo arcade and home platforms. It is the sequel to "" and the second game in the "Fatal Fury" franchise.

Gameplay

"Fatal Fury 2" was the second game in SNK's 100-Mega Shock series, offering improved graphics and gameplay over the original "Fatal Fury". The play controls were modified, this time making full use of the Neo-Geo's four button configuration, by including four attack buttons (two Punch buttons and two Kick buttons). The game expands on the two-lane plane system by giving the player the ability to knock their opponent to the other lane. Additionally some stages have hazards like electrified wires or a stampede of bulls. In addition, each character now have a "desperation attack" which can only be performed when their life meter is low and flashing red. These were implemented to help turn the tide of a fight, although many are challenging to use effectively.

Plot

After Geese Howard's death in the original "Fatal Fury", a mysterious nobleman becomes the sponsor of the new "King of Fighters" tournament. This time, the tournament is held worldwide with fighters around the globe competing. As the single player mode progresses, the mysterious challenger begins defeating the participants from the previous "Fatal Fury" game, searching for the man responsible for defeating Geese.

Characters

The character roster is comprised of eight selectable characters: Terry, Andy and Joe from the original "Fatal Fury", plus five new playable characters. After defeating all eight playable characters in the single player tournament (including a clone of the player's), the player faces four non-playable boss characters.
