The games' story focuses on the title tournament where fighters from multiple SNK games take part. SNK also created original characters to serve as protagonists from each of their story arcs while still interacting with fighters from "Art of Fighting" and "Fatal Fury", among others. Multiple spin-off games, such as the "R" duology for the Neo Geo Pocket and "Maximum Impact" for the PlayStation 2, for example, have also been released. There have been multiple cross-over games where the SNK cast interacted with characters created by Capcom, while some characters have been present as guest characters in other games, such as Geese Howard in "Tekken 7", Kyo Kusanagi in "Fighting Days", and Terry Bogard in "Fighting EX Layer" and "Super Smash Bros. Ultimate".
