Everything about this game was perfect--the blocked hits that still caused damage, the perfectly timed death touches, the reactions to getting hit according to different strength attacks, the change from close-up to widescreen, everything.

Man, I remember what a complete and total pain in the ass Mr. Karate was.

When I was 12, I'd cycle over to the local golf club and this was in the bar next to a few other games. It was damn hard at first but I eventually got the hang of it. The young guy who worked at the bar would play and finish it, I was so jealous lol.

Man I used to absolutely love watching the demo modes of these games. I wasnt allowed to play games with martial arts in them when I was a kid cause my parents are religious fanatics and felt that martial arts had too much to do with eastern religions. It was so tantalizing seeing the demo mode and seeing how fun it looked, it really sucked knowing I would get in big trouble if I played games like this.

The controls are the real opponent

"Ask for it with your power" equals "say it with your chest" in 2018

one of the first and only games for a while to use z-scale zoom. I remember it well.

still find it hard to beat this game. even doing simple fire ball is hard cause the build up takes so long. I remember paying .20c per credit. ahh the 90s

One of the games I played a lot on my phone during the turmoil of Hurricane Maria back in 2017. I even gave a comprehensive review of it in a G+. Loved the grimy late 70's setting (Even though Robert had an 80's Ferrari, lol), the attention to detail in the sprites, that OST and the things it established for the FG genre, like intro animations, camera zoom, meter management, taunts and the super move

this game screams 80's cheesiness.

That and I also think it was made as a partial parody to the Street Fighter series (which I don't see bad at all, because I actually enjoy it). Ryo and Robert have many similarities with Ryu and Ken. Even certain techniques (especially that flying uppercut they use in the KOFs) are basically ripoffs from some of them.

I remember back when i was little my dad would take me with him on the bus to the laundromat since we didn’t have a washing machine at home and if he had enough quarters after his wash he would spare me a couple to play on this Neo Geo machine which had Metal Slug (my personal favorite), Art of Fighting, and Puzzle Bobble. I really appreciate the memories these games bring

Thank you for going out of your way to get the special ending with King lol

Man, Mickey has skipped numerous leg-days.

Mr. Karate would make a Great lead character for a Prequel to Art of Fighting; in my honest opinion; I think that Takuma Sakazaki was 'Mr. Karate' in the SNK Arcade game: "Street Smart" where he toured America while prize fighting along with his Pro Wrestler buddy....Too Bad Takuma/Mr. Karate is often overlooked as a character; Takuma's alter ego would also make a great Vigilante story

simplemente sensacional

This is the few case when the final boss of the game is not a villain. Actually the main villain is Mr. Big, a sub boss.

I kind of remember Super Nintendo the version I owned.... made all that trouble you went through with karate more rewarding

Muito bom gostei de ver esse jogo.lembrei quando eu tinha 16 anos e jogava esse jogo the king of fighit lá nos anos 90s👍

Played this today and finished it on easy. I don't know how people can have the patience to get good at it because it's so awkward and ridiculous. I swear to God, I did Ryo's uppercut move on Mickey and it connected but Mickey instantly recovered and uppercutted me before I could even recover from my own dang uppercut! My mouth was agape. Another difference between this game and SFII is that in SFII if one character is faster and they both throw a projectile the projectiles will collide, but in AoF you'll be hit from across the stage before you even finish your animation. I can only beat this game by being cheap as heck.

Legal Ryo Sakazaki.

first round with "?" was fuckin brutal

You make this game look so easy 😓

Snk was ahead of street fighter they invented the super move the had better sprite work. Also they had akuma before he existed capcom were your apology.

nice turbo button in strength bonus hahahaha

The final boss fight with Mr.Karate (Takuma) is way harder than vs Akuma.

When lee gets knock over lol

I like the art of fighting first time completing it today. But it wasn’t a fun game. I learned the moves and found they were more of a hindrance (apart from the fireball) and it was better to fly kick more then anything. I spent the better part of an hour trying to complete on easy because of the fuckary with the last boss. Good looking characters. Awesome stages but close to super street fighter 2 turbo unplayable. While done completing it though.

They use final fight elements in this game but its not a beat em up

Playing on actual hardware with a memory card...stuck on Mr Big.

The visuals are hugely impressive for 1991. Too bad the controls are extremely stiff, and the cpu difficulty is ridiculous even on the easiest setting. Love the soundtrack and the fact that damage is visible, wish more games implemented this, thought that would have been a universal feature by now.

They expect me to beat this with one credit and to score 300,000 points. I can't beat Mr Karate atm Then I just got a Perfect. Then lost. Then got another Perfect on the rubber match... wow, believing in yourself actually works, even if the finishing move was a tiny toe kick

This game holds up pretty well for its time

I'll admit that this is a fun game to watch... but not very fun to play. My main problem is the controls... they are really stiff, also makes it difficult to pull off special moves. Not huge on the fact that the characters also have spirit energy that can be drained by special moves either.

@theshooter2000

7 жыл бұрын

I think the spirit energy was really innovative. It was the perfect answer to players spamming projectiles and made the gameplay that much more complex. That's what I enjoyed about the SNK fighters, the gameplay was always more complex than meets the eye. It shuts out a certain fanbase, but really once you master the controls, the experience is much more satisfying than Capcom games. That's just my opinion though.
