Agreed, you need all of the Real Bout series but there are 3 main ones you need to have:
FFS - Old style but great.
RBS - The magic of the new art style, new system and out of bounds fun.
MotW - Classic and different again.
But it's game play is slow for today's standard, still a classic.
My top would be RBFF and RBFFS. RB2 looks nice but plays a lil different. FFS is fun for a nostalgic game. But it's game play is slow for today's standard, still a classic.
I bought RBS for MVS . Plays lot better than RB and looks nicer than RB2. I like those rings outs in RB thou..
real bout special is truly a master piece. and i'm actually playing it right now. ex andy is so sweet. but i won't say it's a lot better than the other real bout games. i wouldn't say rb spacial plays a lot better than real bout 1. they just play different. yes, most do prefer the gameplay of real but special, but real bout one also plays really well.
i do agree that real bout special has the better looking back grounds and intro. but real but 2 has those great super move animations. over all i would say real bout special might be the better game out of the three, but not by a lot.
I have to say that Real Bout 1 is just a gem. RBS is my favorite, but both are so unique from each other that you gotta have both. Too bad my RBS MVS cart is having sound issues which keeps me from playing more.
No love in these post for Fatal Fury 3. I think it was the game that started the Real Bout train with its great intro, large sprites, and upgraded art style.

fatal fury 3 has a special place in my heart. it was the only game in the main fatal fury series that got a port outside of a neo console, which was the saturn port. and i played and cherished it soo much back in the day.
I played FF3 on PC back in the days. It has nice intro.
there was a pc release?
FFWA plays a lot like Real Bout Special but it also adds to it, the unblockables, overheads, fake supers, and a sorta soulcalibur combo system where you can link highs and lows in a string, it just works real well. My favorite feature is the side stepping, just like most Namco 3D fighting games side stepping is nothing new but it works very well with the FF premise of a different plane, the game can get real hectic if both parties abuse the system, it really is that intuitive. The arcade board runs a lot more fluid than the PSX version, the backgrounds are way more lucid and the characters just look way more defined. Still the gameplay is basically the same and the PSX has that awesome Intro plus a couple extra characters. This is just my personal opinion, I know FFWA isn't a favorite, I just happened to like a it a whole lot. Geese specially is amazing in this game, could be the best Geese ever, so cheap! I wish there was a sequel with the usual Krauser follow up.
