− | Ten years | + | Ten years have passed since the death of crime lord Geese Howard, and the city of South Town has become more peaceful. A new fighting tournament called "King of Fighters: Maximum Mayhem" starts in the neighboring city of Second South Town, hosted by the wealthy Kain R. Heinlein. Several characters related to the fighters from the previous King of Fighters tournaments are drawn to participate in it. |

− | {{ | + | The game is a 2D fighting game in the ''[[:Category:Fatal Fury (franchise)|Fatal Fury]]'' series, but multiple major changes were made to distinguish it from the prior entries. It contains an almost entirely new cast of characters, with only series regular Terry Bogard returning. Rock Howard, the son of series antagonist Geese Howard, makes his debut as the protagonist of the game. Several other characters are relatives or disciples of other ''Fatal Fury'' characters and use similar fighting styles. The game eschews the lane-switching mechanics of its predecessors and returns to a layout of four attack buttons (not used ''[[Garou Densetsu 3]]''). |
− | {{ | + | |
− | {{ | + | Characters move with {{left}} and {{right}} and crouch with {{down}}. They backstep or run with {{left}} {{left}} or {{right}} {{right}}. They jump upward with {{up}} and jump behind and ahead with {{upleft}} or {{upright}}. Characters can perform a light punch with {{X}}, a strong punch with {{Y}}, a light kick with {{A}}, or a strong kick with {{B}}. Characters have different attacks depending on whether they are standing, crouching, or jumping. Characters can taunt with {{L}}, which is a short animation during which the character is vulnerable to attack. Every fighter has special techniques performed by inputting specific directions with an attack button. Every character has one special move that the player can "break" (interrupt) by pressing the light punch and kick buttons simultaneously ({{X}}+{{A}} or {{R}} by default). This ends the move early so that it can be chained into a combo. |
− | {{L}} | + | |
− | {{R}} or {{X}}+{{A}} | + | Blocking can be done by holding the D-Pad in the opposite direction of the opponent. However, when characters block too much, they become "guard crushed" and momentarily stunned and open for attack. Characters turn red before they are guard crushed. Some attacks can only be blocked while crouching (such as sweeps) or while standing (called overheads). Every character can perform an overhead strike by pressing the light punch and kick buttons simultaneously ({{X}}+{{A}} or {{R}} by default), which can hit characters who are blocking while crouched. If hit in the air, a character can land safely by pressing the light punch and kick buttons simultaneously ({{X}}+{{A}} or {{R}} by default). The game also introduces the "Just Defend" system, which rewards the player for successfully blocking an attack at the last moment by replenishing a small amount of vitality and by recovering from the block faster (providing a window for the player to counterattack). |
− | {{ | + | |
+ | Throws can be performed by holding {{left}} or {{right}} and pressing a strong punch or kick button when next to the opponent. Different characters have different throws available to them. Throws cannot be blocked. After being thrown or knocked down, a character can recover with a short forward roll with {{X}}, a short backward roll with {{Y}}, a long forward roll with {{A}}, or a long backward roll with {{B}}. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The game introduces a new mechanic called the "Tactical Offense Position" (T.O.P.), indicated by a highlighted area comprising a third of the character's vitality gauge. When the gauge reaches this area, the character enters the T.O.P. mode, granting the ability to use a T.O.P. attack, gradual life recovery, and increased attack damage. The attack bonus increases as the character's vitality decreases. T.O.P. attacks are performed by pressing the hard punch and kick buttons simultaneously ({{Y}}+{{B}} by default) and differ by character. Players choose which portion of the vitality gauge (the first, middle, or last third) activates the T.O.P. mode after selecting a character. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Every character has two super special moves. The character builds the Power Gauge by performing special moves, hitting with normal moves, or being attacked. Whiffing break moves also builds the gauge. When the gauge fills with one level, the character can perform an S.Power move. If the gauge fills with a second level, the character can perform two S.Power moves or one especially powerful P.Power move. The amount that the gauge is filled is carried over between rounds but not between matches. | ||

The game has the following modes: | The game has the following modes: | ||
− | *'''Story Mode:''' | + | *'''Story Mode:''' The main single-player mode. The player selects any character and fights six opponents. The last opponent has special dialogue depending on the character chosen. After defeating this opponent, the player faces the boss Grant. As in the previous games, the player is given a rank after every round. If the player manages to win maintain an average of AAA rank in every round and does not lose a round, the final boss, Kain R. Heinlein, is fought. The character's ending is only shown if Kain is defeated. A second player can enter the game at any time by pressing {{Start}} to start a two-player match. |
− | *'''Survival Mode:''' | + | *'''Survival Mode:''' A single-player mode where the player must defeat as many opponents as possible while only regaining a small amount of health after each battle. |
− | *'''Vs Mode:''' | + | *'''Vs Mode:''' A dedicated two-player mode where players can choose any character, a handicap, and any stage. |
− | *'''Practice:''' | + | *'''Practice:''' A training mode where the player can choose any character to play and to fight against. The opponent can be set to stand, crouch, or jump and to be passive, attack, or block. There is no time limit, and the opponent cannot be defeated. The player can toggle T.O.P. or set the Power Gauge to permanent S.Power or P.Power. Taunting causes the opponent to walk forward. |
− | *'''Gallery:''' | + | *'''Gallery:''' The game includes an artwork gallery with character art. After the Story Mode has been completed for a character, artwork from that character's ending appears in the gallery. |
+ | |||
+ | There are eight difficulty levels for computer-controlled opponents. There are also settings to change the time limit (45, 60, or 90 seconds or no limit, with a default of 60) and the number of rounds needed to win a match (1, 2, or 3, with a default of 2). The game saves settings, high scores, and unlocked gallery content to a [[VMU]]. | ||

Fatal Fury: Mark of the Wolves, known as Garou: Mark of the Wolves (餓狼 MARK OF THE WOLVES) in Japan, is a versus fighting game by SNK. It was originally released for the Neo Geo, then ported to the Sega Dreamcast. It is part of the Fatal Fury series.
The American Dreamcast release by Agetec is the only version of the game to use the Fatal Fury name (including the Western localizations for other platforms).
Contents
Story
Ten years have passed since the death of crime lord Geese Howard, and the city of South Town has become more peaceful. A new fighting tournament called "King of Fighters: Maximum Mayhem" starts in the neighboring city of Second South Town, hosted by the wealthy Kain R. Heinlein. Several characters related to the fighters from the previous King of Fighters tournaments are drawn to participate in it.
Gameplay
The game is a 2D fighting game in the Fatal Fury series, but multiple major changes were made to distinguish it from the prior entries. It contains an almost entirely new cast of characters, with only series regular Terry Bogard returning. Rock Howard, the son of series antagonist Geese Howard, makes his debut as the protagonist of the game. Several other characters are relatives or disciples of other Fatal Fury characters and use similar fighting styles. The game eschews the lane-switching mechanics of its predecessors and returns to a layout of four attack buttons (not used Garou Densetsu 3).
Characters move with and and crouch with . They backstep or run with or . They jump upward with and jump behind and ahead with or . Characters can perform a light punch with , a strong punch with , a light kick with , or a strong kick with . Characters have different attacks depending on whether they are standing, crouching, or jumping. Characters can taunt with , which is a short animation during which the character is vulnerable to attack. Every fighter has special techniques performed by inputting specific directions with an attack button. Every character has one special move that the player can "break" (interrupt) by pressing the light punch and kick buttons simultaneously (+ or by default). This ends the move early so that it can be chained into a combo.
Blocking can be done by holding the D-Pad in the opposite direction of the opponent. However, when characters block too much, they become "guard crushed" and momentarily stunned and open for attack. Characters turn red before they are guard crushed. Some attacks can only be blocked while crouching (such as sweeps) or while standing (called overheads). Every character can perform an overhead strike by pressing the light punch and kick buttons simultaneously (+ or by default), which can hit characters who are blocking while crouched. If hit in the air, a character can land safely by pressing the light punch and kick buttons simultaneously (+ or by default). The game also introduces the "Just Defend" system, which rewards the player for successfully blocking an attack at the last moment by replenishing a small amount of vitality and by recovering from the block faster (providing a window for the player to counterattack).
Throws can be performed by holding or and pressing a strong punch or kick button when next to the opponent. Different characters have different throws available to them. Throws cannot be blocked. After being thrown or knocked down, a character can recover with a short forward roll with , a short backward roll with , a long forward roll with , or a long backward roll with .
The game introduces a new mechanic called the "Tactical Offense Position" (T.O.P.), indicated by a highlighted area comprising a third of the character's vitality gauge. When the gauge reaches this area, the character enters the T.O.P. mode, granting the ability to use a T.O.P. attack, gradual life recovery, and increased attack damage. The attack bonus increases as the character's vitality decreases. T.O.P. attacks are performed by pressing the hard punch and kick buttons simultaneously (+ by default) and differ by character. Players choose which portion of the vitality gauge (the first, middle, or last third) activates the T.O.P. mode after selecting a character.
Every character has two super special moves. The character builds the Power Gauge by performing special moves, hitting with normal moves, or being attacked. Whiffing break moves also builds the gauge. When the gauge fills with one level, the character can perform an S.Power move. If the gauge fills with a second level, the character can perform two S.Power moves or one especially powerful P.Power move. The amount that the gauge is filled is carried over between rounds but not between matches.
Modes
The game has the following modes:
- Story Mode: The main single-player mode. The player selects any character and fights six opponents. The last opponent has special dialogue depending on the character chosen. After defeating this opponent, the player faces the boss Grant. As in the previous games, the player is given a rank after every round. If the player manages to win maintain an average of AAA rank in every round and does not lose a round, the final boss, Kain R. Heinlein, is fought. The character's ending is only shown if Kain is defeated. A second player can enter the game at any time by pressing START to start a two-player match.
- Survival Mode: A single-player mode where the player must defeat as many opponents as possible while only regaining a small amount of health after each battle.
- Vs Mode: A dedicated two-player mode where players can choose any character, a handicap, and any stage.
- Practice: A training mode where the player can choose any character to play and to fight against. The opponent can be set to stand, crouch, or jump and to be passive, attack, or block. There is no time limit, and the opponent cannot be defeated. The player can toggle T.O.P. or set the Power Gauge to permanent S.Power or P.Power. Taunting causes the opponent to walk forward.
- Gallery: The game includes an artwork gallery with character art. After the Story Mode has been completed for a character, artwork from that character's ending appears in the gallery.
