art of fighting

Art of Fighting (龍虎りゅうこの拳けん, lit. "Fist of the Dragon and Tiger") is a trilogy of competitive fighting game titles that were released for the Neo Geo platform in the early 1990s. It was the 2nd fighting game franchise created by SNK, following the Fatal Fury series & is set in the same universe.

The original Art of Fighting was released in 1992, followed by two sequels: Art of Fighting 2 (龍虎りゅうこの拳けん 2ツー) in 1994 and The Path of the Warrior: Art of Fighting 3 (龍虎りゅうこの拳けん 外伝がいでん) in 1996. While no sequel has been produced since the 3rd game, the characters have survived through their inclusion in The King of Fighters series.

The games follow the struggles of the students of the Kyokugenryu Karate Dojo, Ryo Sakazaki and Robert Garcia, in what appears to be the late seventies. Ryo is the son of the Kyokugen Karate discipline’s creator, Takuma Sakazaki, and Robert is the wayward son of a billionaire family from Italy. The initial 2 titles are set in Southtown, a common location in SNK games that is also the setting for the Fatal Fury series, while the 3rd appears to take place in a fictitious area of Mexico.
