Fatal Fury Special
The basic gameplay system of "KOF '94" is similar to SNK's previous games like the "Fatal Fury" series, "Art of Fighting" and "Samurai Shodown". The game uses a four attack button configuration similar to "Fatal Fury 2" and "Fatal Fury Special", that consists of light punch, light kick, strong punch and strong kick. Like in "Fatal Fury 2", specialized techniques are performed by pressing combinations of buttons, allowing the player to dodge an opponent's attack or to launch a character's powerful knockdown attack. As with most other fighting games, each character has a set of basic, unique, and special moves that can be performed by the player with a specific series of joystick and button inputs.
