Fatal Fury 2 surpasses its predecessor Fatal Fury: Legend of the Hungry Wolf in every way imaginable; but this wasn't a very difficult task to accomplish at all, since the original was so terribly flawed to begin with.
Fatal Fury 2 really isn't that bad of a fighting anime. For one thing, it has nothing to do with tournaments and it takes a bit of time to actually tell a story. The pacing is very good as the story follows Terry's descent into a washed up fighter. There's quite a bit of background delivered on him through flashbacks, which is meant to play into him regaining his confidence.

Now THIS is more like it! Fatal Fury 2: The New Battle is arguably the best video game/anime adaptation I've ever seen, at least of the fighting game perspective.

So it'…

This anime is more exciting than the first because it’s now more world wide and ranged with the locations and characters. It allows more variety than the first series which I will elaborate later.
The art is a much improved than the first oav. The designs are more sharper and the colors are brighter. The first oav tended to be a bit more circular with the designs but the designs are still up to date with their game counter parts. Like Terry’s sleeves on his jacket in the first oav and game were rolled up. While in this one, he cut off the sleeves. And of course, Andy’s hair color is switched to blonde. But what I really wanted to talk about is Krauser’s design. In the game, he had a moutache and an X on his head. He sort of looked like Rob Zombie in that kind of w…
