Lv5 (or above), standard health bar, Robert, Vs Mr Karate, jump back at start of round (so that you land on the Hisho Ko Ken he often throws). Then sit back and witness the carnage!
this game is fuckin AWESOME...it's pure innovation!! and contain the best music/sound effects for a fighting game...Plus all the details in the background (animation/sound).
even though i would never consider myself a hardcore gamer when it comes to beatém ups (i would never learn combo lists and train to use infinites), i just want to have fun playing the games. And although AoF2 is really difficult i really love it. I love the huge but surprisingly good animated sprites, the zooming, backgrounds, damaged faces, glasses getting kicked off faces, awesome music (cartidge only, i hate the arranged cd music) and really good controls. And i can beat it...sometimes ;-)
yeah i just play them for fun too. i mean i learn their moves, but i just play them instead of using training mode. Love the huge sprites and the music too :)
my favorite aof song is in aof 2, when figthing mickey the boxer
the audio in the AoF games was truly great. I never liked the cd sound though. AoF 2 overall has really good music, my favorite is probably John Crawleys´. If i would have to pick my favorite AoF tune from the whole series it def. got to be John Crawleys Stage music from AoF 1. So energetic, fast paced, inbetween you hear the engines scream and Johns "try again boy", just awesome. I don´t care if people say Street Fighter is better or not, i just like to play the AoF games.
i agree on the music too. i play them in the PS2 AOF anthology, but i dont use the arranged soundtrack. the original soundtrack may be more primitive, but its got more charm. The only Street Fighter game i like more than AOF 1 and 2 is probably Street Fighter 3 3rd Strike and maybe Alpha 3. SNK games just feel better somehow
i play all my games on the original hardware. AoF 1 and 2 i got for the Neo Geo AES. Thankfully these games are cheap as dirt (i got AoF2 brand new US version for 20 €). Third strike is good, really good. Unfortunately i never got into the Alpha series. Maybe i was too tired of the SF2 sequels to fully enjoy alpha as it follows the same formula. Other fighters i like are Fatal Fury 3, KoF 96, Samurai Shodown 2 and others. In general i love SNK´s fighters for their atmosphere (music, sound).
Oh don't get me wrong godoftakedown, it was not negative. I just envy that you have an original Neo Geo AES!!!!!! I would sell my legs and the right testicle for such a machine! And especially you got AoF... that game is the king!
now don´t get me wrong..the Neo Geo AES world is NOT as expensive as some sites and price guides make you believe it. Out of all the 117 AES releases a good third (roughly 40) go for around 20 to 30 euros (around 40 us dollars) or less. Among them are great games like Samurai Shodown 1+2, AoF 1+2, Fatal Fury special+2+3, early KoF episodes, Baseball stars, Nam 1975. A System with a board and mem card should not cost more than 120 with a game. I got Sam Sp 2 new for 17 and AoF 2 for little more.
I've been going all over youtube today looking for AoF soundtrack, from the SNES version. It's big strength was unique interesting characters and a lot of that came from each characters stage and stage theme. Mr. Karate's I remember being rather dark and quite scary!
loved this game finished it 2 times yesterday got up to mr. karate without losing a credit and then had to fight him twice but mr big i found pretty easy
I was playing this last time on AOF anthology. I gotta say Mr. Big is impossible. I spend an hour and a half stuck on him. I finally beat him and I gotta say, He's ALOT harder than Mr. Karate.
Yeah, mickey was a fag in the first Art of Fighting, but they definitely fixed that in the second one. I didn't even know he was black until the second one.
semi circle back to front. AOF is a unique game where you need to finish the joystick movement thoroughly before u press any button. I dun remember there is any other game that works this way ever.
I always hope for Mr.Big to do the dive, its easy to C attack him afterwards. And then unload him with fireballs during getup. That stupid roll sucks and even does block damage.
I've been looking for a video of this game for years now, brings back a lot of arcade memories. Thanks for posting. I hated Mr.big back then, took a lot of money to take him down. Nice fight !
MR.BIG IS ONE UGLY MUTHAFUCKA

Awesome sound effects and soundtrack. Made those 90% damage mega attacks seem so vsceral.
Nary a game has felt as impacting in its attacks as AoF.

That depends on wad level of difficulty you are playing. If you fighting freestyle, Mr Karate is still much harder than Mr Big.
