Though the game was rendered with 3D graphics, the gameplay was essentially an extension of the game mechanics of Real Bout Fatal Fury 2. Many of the Wild Ambition characters who also appeared in RB2 played very similarly, right down to their special attacks, chain combos, and the properties of their desperation moves.

==Gameplay==

Fatal Fury: Wild Ambition is a 3D fighting game, but gameplay is similar to that of a 2D fighter. The button layout is the same from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_Bout_Fatal_Fury_2 Real Bout Fatal Fury 2], but the D Button is now called the '''Axis Shift''' instead of the Line Sway. This feature allows players to move their characters left or right using 3D movement. Characters attack using Punches, Kicks, and Heavy Attacks. Every character also has an assortment of Special Moves and Desperation Moves (Now called '''Super Power Attacks'''). Super Power Attacks can only be performed when the player's health meter is flashing red, and does not use the Heat Meter.
  
−
The game's cast included several classic Fatal Fury characters such as [[Terry Bogard]], [[Andy Bogard]], [[Mai Shiranui]], [[Joe Higashi]], [[Kim Kaphwan]], [[Billy Kane]], and [[Geese Howard]], though it also featured new characters such as schoolgirl grappler [[Tsugumi Sendo]] and "judo demon" [[Toji Sakata]] (who had more than a passing resemblance to [[Fatal Fury 2]] character Jubei Yamada). The game also marked the return of Fatal Fury 1 villain [[Raiden]] (who appeared, unmasked, as a playable character in Fatal Fury 2 as [[Big Bear]]).
+
Much like in Real Bout Fatal Fury 2, players are able to perform throws, counter attacks, pursuit attacks, taunt and recover quickly after being knocked out.

===Heat Meter===
 +
Fatal Fury: Wild Ambition replaces the Power Meter from Real Bout Fatal Fury 2 with the '''Heat Meter'''. The Heat Meter starts at 50% full at the beginning of every match, though it can change between rounds of the same match. Players fill the meter by attacking their opponent or taunting them, while taking damage of being thrown decreases the gauge. If a player takes damage, but his opponent stops attacking him/her, the meter will raise to 50% again.
  
−
Though the game did not have Fatal Fury's trademark "plane shift" gameplay that let players jump back and forth between a foreground and background plane, it did have pseudo-3D gameplay that let players perform a quick evasive roll in 3D space to dodge incoming attacks. This was the extent of the 3D engine on gameplay; otherwise, Wild Ambition played more or less exactly like a 2D fighting game.
+
When the player fills the Heat Meter, the message '''"MAX OK"''' will appear. Players may then perform an '''Overdrive Power''' or a '''Heat Blow'''. The Heat Meter will be close to empty if either of this moves is used, but this can also happen if the player takes too much damage or performs numerous counter attacks. If this happens, a '''"Danger"''' message will appear. If the player takes too much damage with a nearly empty Heat Meter, the player will '''Overheat'''. This causes the player to get dizzy, becoming vulnerable to the opponent's attack.
 +
===Guard Impact===
 +
A new feature introduced in Fatal Fury: Wild Ambition. If the player blocks an attack the moment it hits, they will block the attack and take no damage, while the offensive opponent is pushed away.
 +
===Heat Blow===
 +
A new technique introduced in Fatal Fury: Wild Ambition, the Heat Blow is an unblockable attack that may stun or launch the opponent into the air if it connects. The player can perform a Heat Blow while being attacked by the opponent to interrupt their attacks. Using the Heat Blow will decrease the Heat Meter close to the Danger state.
  
−
Wild Ambition's implementation of the traditional Fatal Fury POW meter took the form of the HEAT meter, which would charge close to full as you performed various attacks, and, when full, would let you perform a desperation move (or, if your health bar was flashing red, a super desperation move). However, if you were overly defensive and blocked too many incoming attacks, your heat meter would actually deplete and you'd eventually enter "Overheat" (dizzy), leaving you vulnerable to attack. The game also had a standard guard-crushing attack for each character with a relatively slow startup animation that would instantly break through an opponent's guard if he/she were standing on the ground, and would juggle them if it connected against an opponent if he/she were jumping.
+
===Overdrive Power===
 +
Fatal Fury: Wild Ambition changes the Potential Power (P. Power) attacks and renames them Overdrive Power. Overdrive Power attacks work differently from the P. Power attacks of the old games. The player can perform Overdrive Power attacks once the Heat Meter is full, regardless of how many health the player has. Using a Overdrive Power decreases the Heat Meter close to the Danger point.

Template:GameInfoboxFatal Fury: Wild Ambition is a 3D fighting game released in 1999 as part of the Fatal Fury game series. It was one of the last games with the system board Hyper Neo Geo 64, and was later ported to the Sony PlayStation. This game is a remake of the first Fatal Fury, making the events that happened during the first game (like Geese falling from his tower to his apparent death) non-canon. It was released again for PlayStation's online network for the PlayStation 3 and PSP on April 26, 2007.

Gameplay

Fatal Fury: Wild Ambition is a 3D fighting game, but gameplay is similar to that of a 2D fighter. The button layout is the same from Real Bout Fatal Fury 2, but the D Button is now called the Axis Shift instead of the Line Sway. This feature allows players to move their characters left or right using 3D movement. Characters attack using Punches, Kicks, and Heavy Attacks. Every character also has an assortment of Special Moves and Desperation Moves (Now called Super Power Attacks). Super Power Attacks can only be performed when the player's health meter is flashing red, and does not use the Heat Meter.

Much like in Real Bout Fatal Fury 2, players are able to perform throws, counter attacks, pursuit attacks, taunt and recover quickly after being knocked out.

Heat Meter

Fatal Fury: Wild Ambition replaces the Power Meter from Real Bout Fatal Fury 2 with the Heat Meter. The Heat Meter starts at 50% full at the beginning of every match, though it can change between rounds of the same match. Players fill the meter by attacking their opponent or taunting them, while taking damage of being thrown decreases the gauge. If a player takes damage, but his opponent stops attacking him/her, the meter will raise to 50% again.

When the player fills the Heat Meter, the message "MAX OK" will appear. Players may then perform an Overdrive Power or a Heat Blow. The Heat Meter will be close to empty if either of this moves is used, but this can also happen if the player takes too much damage or performs numerous counter attacks. If this happens, a "Danger" message will appear. If the player takes too much damage with a nearly empty Heat Meter, the player will Overheat. This causes the player to get dizzy, becoming vulnerable to the opponent's attack.

Guard Impact

A new feature introduced in Fatal Fury: Wild Ambition. If the player blocks an attack the moment it hits, they will block the attack and take no damage, while the offensive opponent is pushed away.

Heat Blow

A new technique introduced in Fatal Fury: Wild Ambition, the Heat Blow is an unblockable attack that may stun or launch the opponent into the air if it connects. The player can perform a Heat Blow while being attacked by the opponent to interrupt their attacks. Using the Heat Blow will decrease the Heat Meter close to the Danger state.

Overdrive Power

Fatal Fury: Wild Ambition changes the Potential Power (P. Power) attacks and renames them Overdrive Power. Overdrive Power attacks work differently from the P. Power attacks of the old games. The player can perform Overdrive Power attacks once the Heat Meter is full, regardless of how many health the player has. Using a Overdrive Power decreases the Heat Meter close to the Danger point.
