# Fatal Fury 3: Road to the Final Victory (Arcade) Introduction ## Overview *Fatal Fury 3: Road to the Final Victory*, released in March 1995 by SNK for the Neo Geo MVS arcade platform, is the fourth installment in the *Fatal Fury* series. Set after the events of *Fatal Fury Special*, the game follows Terry Bogard, Andy Bogard, and others as they enter a new King of Fighters tournament in Southtown to uncover the secrets of the Jin twins, Chonshu and Chonrei, who seek sacred scrolls for power. With 10 playable characters, including newcomers like Blue Mary and Bob Wilson, it introduces an updated three-lane Oversway system and Combination Arts for chained attacks. It was a top-grossing arcade title in Japan (Game Machine, 1995) and praised for its refined mechanics and vibrant visuals, though some noted its complex controls. ## Why Play Fatal Fury 3: Road to the Final Victory? *Fatal Fury 3: Road to the Final Victory* delivers intense arcade fighting in a 1-2 hour single-player campaign and thrilling multiplayer. Players choose from 10 fighters (Terry, Andy, Joe, Mai, Geese, Kim, Blue Mary, Bob Wilson, Franco Bash, Hon-Fu) to battle through nine opponents and the Jin twins. Using four attack buttons (A/B for Punch, C/D for Kick), players execute combos, specials like Andy’s Hishoken, and Combination Arts (rapid button sequences). The Oversway system (Up/Down + A/C) allows switching between three planes for dodging and strategic attacks. Its detailed 16-bit sprites, dynamic stages like Blue Mary’s rooftop, and energetic soundtrack appeal to *Fatal Fury Special* and *Street Fighter II* fans, distinct from *Tetris Worlds*’ puzzles or *Batman: Gotham City Racer*’s racing. ## Key Features - Fight as 10 characters against the Jin twins in Southtown - Three-lane Oversway system for tactical movement - Combination Arts for chained combo attacks - Vibrant 16-bit visuals with detailed stage animations - Competitive multiplayer for local two-player battles - Authentic Neo Geo MVS gameplay on our retro ROM platform ## Play Fatal Fury 3: Road to the Final Victory Online Play *Fatal Fury 3: Road to the Final Victory* (1995, Arcade) instantly on Classic Joy Games with Neo Geo emulators.
