Last month, SNK revealed that Kenshiro, star of Fist of the North Star, would be the final Season 2 DLC character for Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves in June. However, that left May unspoken for, and fans were wondering who would fill the void.
Today, during a special presentation at Evo Japan, SNK unveiled the next DLC character would be another crossover character, but this time from a franchise in SNK’s portfolio: Mr. Karate, the mask-wearing martial artist from Art of Fighting, is next up–but this Mr. Karate is different from the one we’ve seen before.
In previous SNK fighting games, Mr. Karate has been an alter ego for Takuma Sakazaki, the father of Art of Fighting protagonist Ryo Sakazaki and the final boss of the first game. However, while this version of Mr. Karate sports the well-known Tengu mask, the man underneath is donning the long ponytail, suit, and gold chain of Robert Garcia, Ryo’s best friend and co-protagonist of Art of Fighting.
