While the last installment of the series appeared in late 1999, many of its [[Fatal Fury/Characters|characters]] are still widely popular today and continue to appear in a number of [[Spin-Off]] series, most notably ''[[The King of Fighters]]'' series. More recently, pachi-slot machines with the ''Fatal Fury'' theme have been released and there is a crossover game with ''Fighter's History Dynamite'' available for mobile phones in Japan.
Line 32:
 
* [[Acrofatic]]: Cheng.
* [[Action Girl]]: Mary, Mai, Xiangfei, Bonne Jenet, Hotaru, Tsugumi Sendoh, etc. Mai Shiranui [[Just for Pun|bounces]] in [[Faux Action Girl|and out]] of the trope, depending of which media we're talking about; however, it's somewhat [[Justified Trope]] in that [[Genre Savvy|she]] plays the [[Distressed Damsel|damsel in distressDistress]] intentionally in order to make [[Celibate Hero|Andy]] [[The Dulcinea Effect|appreciate her more.]]
* [[Adaptation Dye Job]]: Despite being clearly blond in all games, Andy inexplicably appears with sky-blue hair in the first anime special.
* [[Alternate Continuity]]: While the series initially shared a continuity with the ''[[The King of Fighters]]'', Geese's death in ''Real Bout Fatal Fury'' and his continued survival in the ''KoF'' series pretty much confirmed that they are separate.
Line 64:
* [[City of Adventure]]: Southtown is where the action of all the games takes place, with the exception of ''2'' and ''Special'', which were about a worldwide tournament. ''Garou'' isn't in quite the same place as the previous games, but a neighbouring city close enough to be considered an extension of it (it's even called '''Second''' Southtown).
* [[Combos]]: From the third game onward.
* [[Compilation Rerelease]]: ''Fatal Fury Battle Archives Volume 1'' (''Fatal Fury'', ''Fatal Fury 2'', ''Fatal Fury Special'' and ''Fatal Fury 3'') and ''Fatal Fury Battle Archives Volume 2'' (''Real Bout: Fatal Fury'', ''Real Bout: Fatal Fury Special'', ''Real Bout: Fatal Fury 2''), both on the [[Play StationPlayStation 2]].
* [[Cool Big Sis]]: Mai is this towards Sulia in [[The Movie]]. Hokutomaru seems to view her similarly in ''Mark of the Wolves''.
* [[Cute Bruiser]]: Li Xiangfei, Hotaru Futaba.
Line 110:
* [[Go Out with a Smile]]: Maniacal grin and [[Evil Laugh|laugh]], actually -- Geese sees his death as the last slap in Terry's face, and he lets it show as he falls.
* [[Gratuitous English]]: Terry Bogard. He's the [[Trope Pantheons/Theater|God]] of it.
* [[Guest Fighter]]: Ryo Sakazaki (of ''[[Art of Fighting]]'' fame) as a hidden final boss in ''Fatal Fury Special''. Alfred the Pilot was technically created to be the main character of ''Dominated Mind'' (a remixed [[Play StationPlayStation]] port of ''Real Bout Special''), but most people outside Japan know him for his appearance as a secret final boss in ''[[Marth Debuted in Smash Bros|Real Bout 2]]''.
* [[Hard Work Hardly Works]]: Kim Dong Hwan never practices, and basically made up all his moves himself, but is on par with his dedicated, disciplined brother Jae Hoon in skill and power.
** The same applies to the Bogard Bros.; Andy trained his butt off to learn Ninjutsu and Koppoken, while Terry was an ordinary street brawler who made up his own moves and hardly trains. Guess which one is the better fighter.
Line 125:
* [[Immortality]]: The entire premise of ''Fatal Fury 3''. Geese is rumored to have this after those events since he got the Jin scrolls.
* [[Intimate Healing]]: Sulia gives this to an injured Terry in ''The Motion Picture'', stripping to her bra and panties to ensure full body contact and then turning on her healing powers.
* [[Kaizo Trap]]: White from the [[Play StationPlayStation]] port of ''Real Bout Fatal Fury Special'' (known as ''[[Meaningful Name|Dominated Mind]]''). Beat him, and BE DAMNED READY to dodge his cane laser.
** Or jump over it.
* [[Ki Attacks]]: Pretty much everyone.
