Like with some of the Street Fighter 2 ports, I respect this game's legacy. I enjoyed the game for a while, but it's not really a FG I'd come back to. It's probably because I'm more used to fast-paced battles like the ones in Street Fighter 3 or KOF '98. So it'd make sense why this wouldn't click for me like any of the other FGs I play.

Fatal Fury Special on SNES is a rough port of a fantastic arcade fighter. The graphics and sound are a downgrade, the controls feel sluggish, and the core fighting mechanics have been simplified. However, if you're a die-hard Fatal Fury fan and just want to experience the roster and storyline on a home console, it does the job. Just be prepared for a clunky and often frustrating experience compared to its arcade counterpart.
