    I wish nothing but the best for SNK. I hope the new Garou game does well.

    I first played Garou via emulation. It came out during a weird time for Neo Geo. At the end of the Neo Geo's lifespan, emulation for it was nearly perfect. So, I did the wrong thing and downloaded Garou right around release. But when I found out it was comming out for Dreamcast, I went out and bought it! I was into a lot of SNK fighters, but Garou was the only one my friends thought was cool. While it didn't get as much play as MvC2 or CvS2, it certainly got some play! I still have the game in my closet!

    FYI, this is the only game that its called Garou(hungry wolf). Previous titles were called "Garou densetsu" which translates to Legend of the hungry wolf. Yes I'm being pedantic. :)

    Garou is basically SNK SF3 and should have gotten as much attention and hype, but somehow didn't

      Fatal Fury was lambasted as a Street Fighter in America clone when it was first released. It started the whole "SF Clone" thing. What most people don't know is, the original game director of SF (Takashi Nishiyama) was also the creator of FF; He left Capcom, joined SNK, then lead a team to build the FF franchise. I didn't gain momentum in the west, but slayed in South America.

      I grew up in that era. The SF3 series didn't gain much traction until 3rd Strike. Because of that Garou was on the wayside. Besides that SNK over saturated the market of fighting games. It was difficult to gravitate to just one type of fighter when the company had damn near a hundred or so of Fighters for the MVS system

      @@YJSho_Nuff_ 3rd Strike didn’t gain traction in the West either until Evo Moment 37. 3S was a dead game but then again while it was a “dead genre” all around, CvS2 and MvC2 were much more popping in comparison. MvC2 was pretty much the main game until SF4.

    1:04:40 I would guess he is Chinese because he has a shoulder press and a lunging punch hop which are both reminiscent of a Chinese martial art based on linear but deadly strikes.

      I wouldnt even say he' s the anything of KOF. He's the main character in his own series, Fatal Fury, aka Garou Densetsu in Japan. In KOF he fills the role of a guest character in a crossover game, representing again, Fatal Fury.

    It’s just old. I wouldn’t say it’s an underrated game.
    Also the third strike of snk would be KOF 98 or 2002 ultimate match.
