Ryo and Robert return but with an all new cast of fighters. Kasumi Todoh, Rody Brits, Karmen Cole, Lenny Creston, Koh San Wang, Jin Fu Ha, Sinclair, and Wyler. Out of the new cast, only Kasumi Todh has made an appearance in a fighting game outside of Art of Fighting 3 (King of Fighters and SNK vs Capcom: Chaos). Trivia: This time around the story centers around Robert Garcia instead of the Sakazakis. It's like an AOF gaiden. o---------------------o DISCLAIMER o---------------------o Art of Fighting 3 and its characters are trademarks of SNK n' all copyrights belong to them.

There is a strange drug going around and it gives the user superhuman strength but there are some side effects that deforms the user as you will see what happens to Wyler. o--------------------o CONTROLS o--------------------o A button = Punch B button = Kick C button = Strong Attack D button = Taunt hold A/B/C/D = replinish spirit energy A/B/C while thrown = recover A + C = Uppercut B + C = Low Kick f + C = Throw b + C = Sabaki df + A or B = Gut Attack f + A or B = Rush Attack Step = f,f Backstep = b,b Dash Jump, f,f, uf Jump = up, u, or uf Crouch=db,d,or df Block= b while being attacked high or standing, or db while being attacked low. o--------------------o SYSTEM o--------------------o You fight a certain amount of opponents. Each character has their own final boss. Most of them is against Wyler. Kasumi and Jin Fu Ha's last fights are against Ryo. Karmen Cole's last fight is against Robert. Each special move used will use up spiritual energy. The more spiritual energy you have then the move effective and powerful the move will be. As the spirit energy winds down, projectiles will be smaller and physical specials have less range. You need to hold an attack button to regain spiritual energy. You can also lower an opponent's spiritual energy by taunting them with the D button. o--------------------o MOVELISTS o--------------------o Each character has a set of special moves in addition to the normal attacks given to them. They are executed by moving the joystick in a certain sequence and pressing the appropiate attack button. * moves gained after defeating 3 opponents ^ low on energy +---------------------+ Ryo Sakazaki +---------------------+ Son of the Kyokugenryu master, Takuma Sakazaki.

He works on perfecting a powerful elixir that was originally developed by his father and Freia Lawrence's father. However, the essential data needed for completing it was taken by Freia's father when the partnership broke up. Wyler believes this action is the cause of his father becoming destitute and even the cause of his death. Wyler hires the private investigator partners Rody Birts and Lenny Creston to find her. Wyler finds Freia, though seemingly without the help of the private eyes he hired. He completes the elixir and takes it himself, turning into a large Hulk -like man. However, it has an unforeseen after-effect and reverts his mind to a child-like state. +++ *Akosu Kick: b + B Buster Throw: f + C Buster Hip: df + A or B on downed opponent Red Shoulder: f, b, f + A Black Out: d, df, f + A Bounce Back: d, u + A Wyler has no super o--------------------o CREDITS o--------------------o SNK whom created the game GameFAQs for hosting My sister Renea "Roja Calor" Castillo - helping me test some of these moves out and for being my test dummy when a 2nd player is needed.
