Fatal Fury Special was the game that we think SNK really got the game engine down.  The game play was tight and it was truly their first fighting game that produced multi-hit combos. 

 

Unbalanced?  Absolutely!  Cheap, oh yeah.  Fun, well, that's what it's all about.  This game is the gem among gems.  Just pick Kim or Jubei and you have yourself the two most dominate characters in the game.
