Fatal Fury 2 (Neo Geo)

This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion. Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

The second entry of the Fatal Fury series created with some inspiration taken from Street Fighter II. This title, not only is a HUGE improvement over the first, but also marks the very first debut of the most popular female SNK mascot Mai Shiranui. (Really, that's no lie.)

Regional Differences#

Title Screen#

Japan	US/Europe

The Japanese title screen uses a slightly modified version of the logo and arrangement from the first game but with a giant 2 in the background, while the international title screen has an entirely redrawn logo with a dark blue background.

Copy Protection#

Fatal Fury 2 was one of SNK's first attempts at additional copy protection for Neo-Geo games, with the cartridge board repurposing a graphics multiplier chip (PRO-CT0) as a challenge/response security chip. If any of the challenges fails, a flag is silently set in memory. Once this flag is set, the first match of the game will run normally, but the second match will disable hitboxes on Player 2 and subsequent matches will set the round timer to just two seconds.
