Art of Fighting

In the early 90s, SNK followed up the ever-popular Fatal Fury with Art of Fighting: a trilogy of fighters known for their deep plots, wonderful art, and unique fighting mechanics. The first game was released in 1992 and was notable for introducing mechanics such as a "spirit gauge" that allowed players to perform powerful moves and a "zoom in" feature that let players get closer to the action. The series follows the story of the Sakazaki family, particularly Ryo and Robert, as they enter martial arts tournaments and fight against various opponents. The franchise was influential in the development of the fighting game genre and has gained a cult following over the years.
