The briefing

About this game

Art of Fighting follows Ryo Sakazaki and his best friend, Robert Garcia, as they search the streets of South Town for Ryo’s kidnapped sister, Yuri. Their investigation reveals clues about the kidnapping, the Sakazaki family’s connection to the mob, and someone from their past.

This coin-op conversion features the characters, stages, and moves of the Neo-Geo arcade game, while also allowing players to play as Mr. Big and Mr. Karate. Its combat system includes a Spirit meter that decreases when special moves are used. The meter can be restored, but recharging leaves the fighter vulnerable to attack.

When health is nearly depleted, a full Spirit meter enables a secret combination that unleashes a powerful attack. The game was released on September 24, 1992, and is categorized as an arcade fighting game.
