Hi everyone, I’m Yasuyuki Oda, the producer of Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves. The dev team and I wanted to bring you an overview of how you can utilize the REV System to your advantage to tackle even your most formidable foes and opponents. We’ll also cover some flashy combos you can pull off and our roadmap for the Season 1 Pass DLC characters as well. Now without further ado, let’s get you all trained up and ready to jump into the world of Fatal Fury!
Use the REV System to get a leg up on the competition
The key to snatching victory from the jaws of defeat is proper utilization of the REV System. REV Arts allow you to power up your special moves, whereas REV Accel is a great way to create flashy combos and pressure your opponent. The REV System can also be used defensively by using the REV Guard button (R1) to help keep your opponent at bay and increase your chance of securing the win. REV Guard can be performed by pressing just one button so it’s a good strategy to use when you think your opponent is going to go in for a cross-up. Some moves this works well against are Kain’s Schwarzes Rondo setups or attacks made after B. Jenet breaks her Gulf Tomahawk. REV Guard also allows you to input other actions while it’s being pressed, so you can hold down the button and use your grab to break out of an opponent’s oncoming grab attempt or use a hop to strategically maneuver your way out of a sticky situation. Try to make it a habit of holding REV Guard on wakeup to help protect yourself in battle.
The REV System can allow you to create a wide variety of different sick combos

To start off the Season 1 Pass, Terry Bogard’s brother, Andy Bogard, makes his triumphant return, utilizing a combination of Koppo and ninjutsu to take down his opponents. Hokutomaru shares some moves with Andy so anyone looking to play the younger of the Bogard brothers can start out training with Hokutomaru to get ready for when Andy will become playable later this year.
Joe Higashi is a Muay Thai master and is well known for being both friendly yet hot blooded in the heat of battle. Joe, Terry, and Andy make up the legendary group of three friends that represent the Fatal Fury series, so when Joe returns this Fall, it will be a momentous occasion for fans of this legendary fighting game series.
One of the major antagonists from the Art of Fighting series, the big boss man himself, Mr. Big, also makes his devious return. He utilizes bojutsu and street fighting techniques to take on the other fighters of South Town.
Last but not least, we are proud to have two characters from the Street Fighter series make their appearance in the world of Fatal Fury as guest characters: Ken and Chun-Li. Look forward to when worlds collide in this legendary collaboration.
