==Story==
 +
After the events of ''[[Garou Densetsu 3]]'', Geese Howard has obtained the powerful Jin Scrolls and decides to reassert his position as lord of South Town by holding another King of Fighters tournament, intending to take revenge against his old adversary Terry Bogard once and for all.

''Real Bout Garou Densetsu'' is a fighting game. It retains most of the mechanics of ''[[Garou Densetsu 3]]'', such as the three-lane "oversway" battle system, with a main lane for fighting and foreground and background lanes for avoiding attacks or leaping towards the opponent, and a grading system for the victor in every round. However, the game reduces the number of attack buttons from four to three: a standard punch and kick button and a "Power Attack" button (which can be either a punch or kick, depending on the character). Desperation moves have been replaced with a Power Gauge, which fills during a match and allows the use of more powerful special abilities when it is full, similar to gauges used in other fighting games. It retains the roster from the previous game but re-adds the fan-favorite characters Billy Kane, Duck King, and Kim Kaphwan.
 +
 +
In the single-player game, after selecting a character to play, the player can choose any character aside from the three bosses (Billy Kane, Ryuji Yamazaki, and Geese Howard) as the first opponent. The game was promoted as being the final showdown against Geese Howard, who appears as the final boss and has not appeared in a ''[[:Category:Fatal Fury (franchise)|Fatal Fury]]'' story since. There is no dedicated two-player mode, but a second player can enter the game at any time by pressing {{Start}} to start a two-player match.
 +
 +
Characters move with {{left}} and {{right}}. They dash with {{left}} {{left}} or {{right}} {{right}}; dashes can be canceled by tapping in the opposite direction. Characters crouch with {{down}} and can move forward while crouched with {{downright}} (or {{downleft}} when facing left). They jump upward with {{up}}; holding {{up}} jumps higher than tapping {{up}}. They jump behind and ahead with {{upleft}} or {{upright}}. Characters can perform a punch with {{A}}, a kick with {{B}}, or a "Power Attack" with {{C}}. Characters have different attacks depending on whether they are standing, crouching, or jumping. Pressing {{C}} when far away from an opponent performs a taunt. Every fighter has special techniques performed by inputting specific directions with an attack button.
 +
 +
Characters can block attacks by holding the D-Pad in the opposite direction of the opponent. Blocking while standing guards against high attacks (from a standing or jumping opponent), while blocking while crouched defends against both high and low attacks. Blocking can also be done in midair. Throws that can be performed by holding the D-Pad toward the opponent and pressing the Power Attack button while in close range. Many characters have additional throws and grabs that use different button combinations.
 +
 +
Fights take place in three-lane battlegrounds. Players fight primarily in the middle lane but can move (or "sway") into the background with {{Z}} or the foreground with {{down}}+{{Z}}. The player can perform an attack in a sway lane by pressing any attack button, which returns the character to the main lane. Likewise, the player can attack an opponent who is in a sway lane with {{Z}}. Characters automatically return to the main lane after a second if they do not move out of the sway lane manually. When characters are finished by a move that knocks them into the foreground, they are knocked into the screen.
 +
 +
The vitality gauge has two levels. It is initially colored yellow and fills with red as the fighter takes damage. After it is fully red, it starts to flash and fills with black as the fighter takes damage. The character is defeated when the vitality gauge is fully black. Each character has a Power Gauge that fills as the character performs normal or special techniques. When the gauge is at least half-full, it becomes colored yellow, indicating that the player can perform Break Shots, special counterattacks that can be performed after blocking an attack. When the Power Gauge reaches maximum level while the player still has more than half of the vitality gauge remaining, it enters "S. Power" level and begins to deplete gradually. During this time, the player can perform Break Shots or a Super Power moves, which are powerful moves similar to Desperation moves in the previous games. Using a Super Power move consumes any remaining energy in the Power Gauge. When the Power Gauge reaches maximum level while the player has less than half of the vitality gauge remaining (when the vitality gauge is flashing red), the Power Gauge enters "P. Power" level and gradually drains. In this state, the player can perform both Break Shots and Super Power moves indefinitely until the gauge runs out. The player can also perform a Hidden Power move, an even more powerful special ability (similar to the hidden Desperation moves in the previous game, which consumes the remaining Power Gauge. The contents of the Power Gauge are carried over between rounds but not matches.

Several moves have "fake" versions that play the initial animation and sound clip for the move without actually performing the move, in order to bait a response from the opponent.
 +
 +

===Stages===
 +
Instead of each character having a unique stage, there are only five stages. The single-player game is divided into four stages with three opponents each, followed by a fight against the final boss, Geese Howard. As in previous games, every stage has three recolors, but the stage variation changes for each successive opponent rather than each round (with the exception of the final fight against Geese).
 +
 +
Most stages have ring-outs, similar to 3D fighting games such as ''[[Virtua Fighter]]''. Each side of the stage is guarded by a barrier; if a fighter's attacks force the opponent to hit a barrier enough times, the barrier is destroyed, and a fighter can win by knocking the opponent out of bounds. This is accompanied by a unique animation, such as the opponent falling into water or being knocked into a train car before it leaves. It is possible for both fighters to fall out of bounds. Destroyed barriers remain down for the remainder of the match. Geese Tower is the only stage that does not have any ring-outs.

''Real Bout Garou Densetsu'' was originally released for [[Neo Geo]] hardware, before being brought to the [[Neo Geo CD]] and eventually, the Saturn and [[PlayStation]]. The Saturn conversion is thought to be based on the Neo Geo CD port, complete with added arranged CD audio soundtrack.
 +
 +
The conversions is relatively accurate, however support for stereo audio was dropped for unknown reasons. Music also plays louder than other versions of the game, masking some sound effects (although some may be missing entirely).
 +
 +
Unlike its PlayStation counterpart, the Saturn is able to retain the the full set of Neo Geo animations, does not compromise on audio quality, and loads slightly faster (although both are beaten by the arcade original which has no loading screens at all, and all three load faster than the Neo Geo CD version). The PlayStation does implement versus, survival and tutorial modes not seen in other versions of the game, however.
 +
 +
If the player disables the time limit in the Neo Geo CD version, the Neo Geo logo is used instead of a countdown clock; on the Saturn and PlayStation versions, it is replaced with an infinity symbol (∞).

    Real Bout Garou Densetsu (リアルバウト餓狼伝説) is the sequel to Garou Densetsu 3: Road to the Final Victory. It was ported to the Sega Saturn in 1996 and released exclusively in Japan. Had it been brought to the West, it would have likely been renamed Real Bout Fatal Fury like the other versions of the game.

    The Saturn version was only released as a bundle containing a 1MB RAM cart (which is required to run the game).

    Story

    After the events of Garou Densetsu 3, Geese Howard has obtained the powerful Jin Scrolls and decides to reassert his position as lord of South Town by holding another King of Fighters tournament, intending to take revenge against his old adversary Terry Bogard once and for all.

    Gameplay

    Real Bout Garou Densetsu is a fighting game. It retains most of the mechanics of Garou Densetsu 3, such as the three-lane "oversway" battle system, with a main lane for fighting and foreground and background lanes for avoiding attacks or leaping towards the opponent, and a grading system for the victor in every round. However, the game reduces the number of attack buttons from four to three: a standard punch and kick button and a "Power Attack" button (which can be either a punch or kick, depending on the character). Desperation moves have been replaced with a Power Gauge, which fills during a match and allows the use of more powerful special abilities when it is full, similar to gauges used in other fighting games. It retains the roster from the previous game but re-adds the fan-favorite characters Billy Kane, Duck King, and Kim Kaphwan.

    In the single-player game, after selecting a character to play, the player can choose any character aside from the three bosses (Billy Kane, Ryuji Yamazaki, and Geese Howard) as the first opponent. The game was promoted as being the final showdown against Geese Howard, who appears as the final boss and has not appeared in a Fatal Fury story since. There is no dedicated two-player mode, but a second player can enter the game at any time by pressing  START  to start a two-player match.

    Characters move with Left and Right. They dash with Left Left or Right Right; dashes can be canceled by tapping in the opposite direction. Characters crouch with Down and can move forward while crouched with Down-right (or Down-left when facing left). They jump upward with Up; holding Up jumps higher than tapping Up. They jump behind and ahead with Up-left or Up-right. Characters can perform a punch with A, a kick with B, or a "Power Attack" with C. Characters have different attacks depending on whether they are standing, crouching, or jumping. Pressing C when far away from an opponent performs a taunt. Every fighter has special techniques performed by inputting specific directions with an attack button.

    Characters can block attacks by holding the D-Pad in the opposite direction of the opponent. Blocking while standing guards against high attacks (from a standing or jumping opponent), while blocking while crouched defends against both high and low attacks. Blocking can also be done in midair. Throws that can be performed by holding the D-Pad toward the opponent and pressing the Power Attack button while in close range. Many characters have additional throws and grabs that use different button combinations.

    Fights take place in three-lane battlegrounds. Players fight primarily in the middle lane but can move (or "sway") into the background with Z or the foreground with Down+Z. The player can perform an attack in a sway lane by pressing any attack button, which returns the character to the main lane. Likewise, the player can attack an opponent who is in a sway lane with Z. Characters automatically return to the main lane after a second if they do not move out of the sway lane manually. When characters are finished by a move that knocks them into the foreground, they are knocked into the screen.

    The vitality gauge has two levels. It is initially colored yellow and fills with red as the fighter takes damage. After it is fully red, it starts to flash and fills with black as the fighter takes damage. The character is defeated when the vitality gauge is fully black. Each character has a Power Gauge that fills as the character performs normal or special techniques. When the gauge is at least half-full, it becomes colored yellow, indicating that the player can perform Break Shots, special counterattacks that can be performed after blocking an attack. When the Power Gauge reaches maximum level while the player still has more than half of the vitality gauge remaining, it enters "S. Power" level and begins to deplete gradually. During this time, the player can perform Break Shots or a Super Power moves, which are powerful moves similar to Desperation moves in the previous games. Using a Super Power move consumes any remaining energy in the Power Gauge. When the Power Gauge reaches maximum level while the player has less than half of the vitality gauge remaining (when the vitality gauge is flashing red), the Power Gauge enters "P. Power" level and gradually drains. In this state, the player can perform both Break Shots and Super Power moves indefinitely until the gauge runs out. The player can also perform a Hidden Power move, an even more powerful special ability (similar to the hidden Desperation moves in the previous game, which consumes the remaining Power Gauge. The contents of the Power Gauge are carried over between rounds but not matches.

    Characters

    Note: Move lists assume that the character is facing right. When facing left, Left and Right should be reversed.

    P Punch
    K Kick
     POWER  Power attack
     SWAY  Sway

    Several moves have "fake" versions that play the initial animation and sound clip for the move without actually performing the move, in order to bait a response from the opponent.

    Playable

    All of the characters from Garou Densetsu 3 return, with the bosses now playable. Billy Kane, Duck King, and Kim Kaphwan return from Fatal Fury Special.

    Each character has two outfit colors: the default color is selected with P and the secondary color is selected with  POWER .

    Stages

    Instead of each character having a unique stage, there are only five stages. The single-player game is divided into four stages with three opponents each, followed by a fight against the final boss, Geese Howard. As in previous games, every stage has three recolors, but the stage variation changes for each successive opponent rather than each round (with the exception of the final fight against Geese).

    Most stages have ring-outs, similar to 3D fighting games such as Virtua Fighter. Each side of the stage is guarded by a barrier; if a fighter's attacks force the opponent to hit a barrier enough times, the barrier is destroyed, and a fighter can win by knocking the opponent out of bounds. This is accompanied by a unique animation, such as the opponent falling into water or being knocked into a train car before it leaves. It is possible for both fighters to fall out of bounds. Destroyed barriers remain down for the remainder of the match. Geese Tower is the only stage that does not have any ring-outs.

    Versions

    Real Bout Garou Densetsu was originally released for Neo Geo hardware, before being brought to the Neo Geo CD and eventually, the Saturn and PlayStation. The Saturn conversion is thought to be based on the Neo Geo CD port, complete with added arranged CD audio soundtrack.

    The conversions is relatively accurate, however support for stereo audio was dropped for unknown reasons. Music also plays louder than other versions of the game, masking some sound effects (although some may be missing entirely).

    Unlike its PlayStation counterpart, the Saturn is able to retain the the full set of Neo Geo animations, does not compromise on audio quality, and loads slightly faster (although both are beaten by the arcade original which has no loading screens at all, and all three load faster than the Neo Geo CD version). The PlayStation does implement versus, survival and tutorial modes not seen in other versions of the game, however.

    If the player disables the time limit in the Neo Geo CD version, the Neo Geo logo is used instead of a countdown clock; on the Saturn and PlayStation versions, it is replaced with an infinity symbol (∞).
