This background is also on the back of the box, yet it's nowhere to be found in the proper game.

beta version perhaps?

Nesagwa · Apr 27, 2003

Someone posted a long time ago about this. Yeah probably beta version. I think there were some other stages that didnt make the game either that were in pictures in magezines and such.

evil wasabi · Apr 28, 2003

Looks like Duck King's background to me...
And since Duck isn't in the game... ¬_¬ (Unfortunately)

Nesagwa · Apr 28, 2003

Yeah it is his stage. :mad:

I still dont understand why he isnt in there. Alfred got in their for some reason but duck king cant? He was in Real Bout 1, 2, and Special. Why not this one?

Damn you SNK!

Giga Power · Apr 28, 2003

That's awesome, I had never noticed that before.

K-J N. · Apr 28, 2003

Things like that happens all the time.

Remember the movie from Match of the millennium that was from an early intro with Ryu facing Kyo, unused music and a sampled "snk vs capcom" (replaced with a swosh sound in the final game)?

The final version of puzzle link didnt look quite the same as the early one.

The early bgcolors in Puzzle bobble was also on the box.

Maybe they were planning to add him, then changed their mind.
Anyway I wouldn't have minded seeing Tun Fu Rue in...
And I think they should have redone Kim's sprite, because they took the one from KoF, whereas his sprite in FF is different (fighting stance where you see his back)...
Anyway there's just so many things they could have done to make this game better.

Giga Power · Apr 28, 2003

Excellent post K-J N.

bokmeow · Apr 28, 2003

We also could have done without the dial-a-combos. If there's something I don't like, it's dial-a-combos because it makes me feel stupid doing them. If the first one doesn't connect the rest keep going, and that just opens you up to attacks.

i got fatal fury and i swear i've ran into that background... maybe i'm wrong i havn't played it for a while but i'm sure i've seen it

evil wasabi · May 1, 2003

Hmmm, I doubt it...
Or *maybe* in versus mode only ?

kernow · May 1, 2003

excellent pics peeps.

its also marys background.
they shared them in rb2.
she didnt make the cut either did she?

evil wasabi · May 1, 2003

She did not indeed...
I knew he was sharing it with someone, forgot who.

Anyway I think Mary should have been in too... Mai's the only female in the game. :|

Nesagwa · May 1, 2003

Yeah but Mary's was the night version where there were no lights on or people around.

There was also a graphiti in the corner of Ducks stage that says "WHERES THE 'D'", Mary's has some posters for a concert or something.

DB, I still have not recieved the 35 Dollars as promised. This has been over a month now, I've PM'd you with details.

striderpunk · May 6, 2003

I heard that fatal fury first contact was very "buggy" and this could just be a bug? help

evil wasabi · May 7, 2003

You mean a bug that makes a whole new background appear ?...
¬_¬

Or do you mean the reverse, that in the finished product, there's a bug preventing that background to appear ?

I doubt that though.

SouthtownKid · Nov 25, 2003

Found this thread with search, because I was wondering the same thing myself after a marathon First Contact session. What makes me bring it up again is that I've heard that the fat character who gets beat up in the intro is playable if you play a 2-player link game. I was wondering if the same might be true for the BG? I've never had a chance to try this... true/teh bullshit lie... anyone...?

Syxx573 · Nov 25, 2003

I thought that was Lao's stage.

If you want to be Lao (2 player mode only), highlight Alfred and hold B for 2 seconds.

evil wasabi · Nov 25, 2003

SouthtownKid:
There was a patched ROM or emulator (don't remember) a while ago, that would let you play as that guy in 1P mode... In case you want to check that out.

What's the story with Lao in Fatal Fury First Contact? He even appears in the screenshots for Real Bout Fatal Fury 2: The Newcomers as the poor chap that XiangFei and Rick beats up, but never appears as a playable character.

evil wasabi · Nov 25, 2003

I don't know anything about him... In case he DOES have a background story.

SouthtownKid · Nov 25, 2003

Thanks, Syxx 573 and Stifu (especially for the quickness -- I expected to have to wait for this), I've wondered about that stuff for a while, but hadn't thought to ask. Since they mostly used 1 RB2 character from each shared stage (except Terry/Rick and Billy/Geese), I wonder which character they would have gone for if they had included one more character and this background in the one player game.

It's weird to think that First Contact already has more backgrounds than RBS...!

evil wasabi · Nov 25, 2003

Ah ?
I thought RBS had more backgrounds than RB2 / Firt Contact...
