==Summary==
<tabber>
|-|Fatal Fury=
The Fatal Fury or Garō Densetsu (餓狼伝説 Legend of the Hungry Wolf) series started in 1991, produced by SNK and designed by Takashi Nishiyama, the creator of the original Street Fighter, and received many sequels across the years. The first game, and the franchise as a whole, represent an actual milestone for the genre of 2D fighting games, having been among the most popular and praised series of its time. Its innovative mechanics, memorable characters and well-constructed technical details brought the games to success, to the point that the franchises represents SNK's most iconic product after the The King of Fighters series. 
The story follows the never-ending battle of the Bogard brothers against crime lords such as Geese Howard and Wolfgang Krauser, with the occasional incursion of supernatural elements, often in the setting of a fighting tournament called The King of Fighters. The focus then progressively shifted from Terry Bogard to other protagonists, such as Alfred Airhawk and Rock Howard. An array of other characters appeared under the spotlights, each driven to the fight and intertwined with heroes and villains for a plethora of reasons. However, the series lacks a proper ending to this day.
The series spans across 7 main titles, with several "Dream Matches"-type games. These are not meant to provide an actual story, but rather to improve a previous episode and allow a wider number of characters to be played, but can still be considered "what-ifs" regarding the characters' capabilities.
Note: Fatal Fury: Wild Ambition is effectively a one-off remake of the first Fatal Fury, existing as a self-contained chapter separated from the main continuity.

Art of Fighting, also known as Ryuuko no Ken (龍虎の拳, Fist of Dragon and Tiger) is the second fighting game series produced by SNK, with the first chapter having been released in 1992, then followed by two sequels. It is another example of traditional 2D fighting game, but it presents its own distinctions and peculiar traits that make it quite distinct from its "cousin".
Although not quite as popular as Fatal Fury, the series had a moderate success, and is mostly remembered for introducing new staples for the genre such as super moves, and its characters, several of whom have become favourites among the SNK fanbase.
It is set in the same universe as Fatal Fury, but the story takes place 10 years prior the first game. The plot focuses on the invincible warriors Ryo Sakazaki and Robert Garcia, who embark on a quest to clear the underworld of South Town and other locations, going from fighting thugs to actual crime lords, including a young Geese Howard.
Note: Although the game Buriki One features Ryo Sakazaki (under the alias of Mr. Karate II), it isn't considered part of the Art of Fighting series, and is instead its own canon. This because it not only presents a loose story not connected to either of the two other franchises, but its not even placed in continuity with them on any of SNK's official websites.

==Power of the Verse==
<tabber>
|-|Description=
The verse doesn't score very high in terms of Attack Potency and Striking Strength, but it reaches superhuman levels cleanly, as all the characters are placed at Wall level. Because of the nature of the series, the frequent tournaments and bouts, this allows a general application of such value to Durability as well. Their Speed level is an unclear Superhuman, because of the blatant but unclear demonstrations performed by a number of characters. Thanks to a clear feat of muscle power, all the characters also scale to Class 50 Lifting Strength.
The Powers and Abilities utilized aren't much out of the ordinary, but they are still put at good use in their own regard. As a fighting game, everyone of these fighters is an expert or even master of one or multiple Martial Arts, which often comes along related abilities such as Acrobatics, Weapon Mastery and a widespread use of Chi Manipulation and occasional control over elements such as Fire and Electricity.
