Description
Yuri Sakazaki has been kidnapped! Her big brother Ryo Sakazaki and Robert Garcia, his best friend, go search for her on the streets of South Town. As they go deeper and deeper they will find clues as to who ordered the kidnapping, the Sakazaki family's relation to the mob, and a person from their past.
This fighting game is a coin-op conversion of the Neo-Geo hit of the same name, and has all characters, stages, and moves, with a little extra thrown in for good measure. Unlike the original arcade version, you can now play as Mr. Big and the elusive Mr. Karate, without needing any codes or cheats!
The gameplay differs from most fighting games. In this game, you have a Spirit meter. The Spirit meter will decrease as you perform special moves, and when it runs out, you can't do any more! It can be recharged, but doing so leaves you open to attack. Also, desperation moves were originated in this game! When your health is almost gone, you can perform a secret combination that will unleash a deadly attack on your opponent - provided you have a full Spirit meter.
Alternate Titles

Trivia
Not only did
Art of Fighting have the honor of being the first fighting that introduced the 'camera zoom' - where the camera zooms in whenever the fighters are close together, and zooms out when the fighters move away from each other, but it also has the honor of being the first to utilize a 'spirit meter'. Every time a fighter executes a special move, the spirit meter is depleted accordingly, and the more powerful the special move, the more it depletes. When this meter is empty, special moves can no longer be executed.
