Real Bout Fatal Fury 2: The Newcomers\u2019 gathering of wolves never looked better than with Code Mystics\u2019 new Steam release. While light on options, there's no better way to get serious than with this solid SNK fighter.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t

Featuring a number of bells and whistles, should players sway to the Oversway Plane with this release?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Real Bout Fatal Fury 2: The Newcomers Review – Get in the Ring!!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

Originally entering the ring back in 1998, Real Bout Fatal Fury 2: The Newcomers brings a number of Fatal Fury staples while still keeping things fresh. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fan favorites like Andy and Terry Bogard, along with fanservice favorites Mai Shiranui, are all present and accounted for. For those looking for a change of pace, Rick Strowd and Li Xiangfei also make an appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No matter who one chooses amongst its roster of over a dozen characters, Real Bout Fatal Fury 2: The Newcomers packs a punch. The foreground and background system in particular keeps things interesting – it\u2019s the perfect way to throw one\u2019s opponent for a loop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think of it like a temporary sidestep for a counter sneaky attack. It\u2019s good in a clutch, but must be used properly – no cheesing here.<\/p>\n\n\n

For those doing the local scene proud, Real Bout Fatal Fury 2: The Newcomers supports the usual suspects with One Player play, Versus, and a Practice Mode. One can easily consult a Skill List, and there\u2019s support for Hitboxes for when they miss the mark by – that – much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, those looking to take their brawling skills worldwide can take advantage of Real Bout Fatal Fury 2: The Newcomers\u2019 Online Play, along with its leaderboards that set out to highlight \u201cSingle Play,\u201d \u201cTotal Wins,\u201d and \u201cCharacter Wins.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those who grew up with the Big Red SNK MVS arcade cabinet (you know the one!), Real Bout Fatal Fury 2: The Newcomers features a number of achievements that\u2019ll test anyone\u2019s might. Some like clearing arcade mode with every character seem fairly straightforward, but those that are able to pull off Geese Howard\u2019s Deadly Rave<\/a> have earned our respect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those looking to take a look back into days gone by, this release of Real Bout Fatal Fury 2: The Newcomers features a Gallery Mode. From key art, to commercial posters, to even concept art, this is a great way to see the almighty Wolfgang Krauser in all his righteous glory.<\/p>\n\n\n
