Hey folks! Let’s dive into the latest excitement from SNK as they bring back a fan-favorite feature in the legendary fighting series, Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves. Now available on Xbox Series X|S, this installment introduces the Two-Lane Battle system, where players can perform combos while freely moving between foreground and background lanes. It’s a nostalgic nod to the arcade days, marking the return of Two-Lane Battles after a 27-year hiatus.
The much-anticipated Two-Lane Battle adds a strategic twist by integrating two lanes into selected stages—a foreground and a background. By executing specific attacks, you can seamlessly switch between lanes, adding layers of strategy and unpredictability to your gameplay. Whether you’re using these tricks defensively or attacking with flair, the possibilities are exciting.
To give the system a whirl, select the Dream Amusement Park “Morning” stage, currently the only stage with this feature at launch. Expect more stages to join the fray soon. Players start in the same lane but can switch using X and RB. Want flair? Attack during the switch with A and RB for a dynamic leap.
Once you and your rival are in different lanes, various special attacks open up. Keep grounded with X for a smooth switch or take to the air with A or B for jumping assaults. Feeling crafty? Y pulls your opponent into your lane for some close combat action.
What’s more, mix up your combos with lane-switching attacks for some cross-lane magic. Here’s a combo example with Rock: X → Y → A + RB → B → Heavy Rising Tackle (Brake) → Heavy Hard Edge. Get creative and elevate your game by integrating these attacks into your combos.
Veterans of the series will remember Two-Lane Battles as a core feature since the original Fatal Fury in 1991. It’s not just about reviving the past but pushing innovation forward. Fans old and new, get ready to immerse yourself in the chaos of this unique gameplay element. And remember, Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves is now out, so keep up with the latest news by following us on our official channels.
