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 also marks the very first debut of the most popular female SNK mascot Mai Shiranui. (Really, that's no lie.)

Hidden Development Text

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.
