1382: Fatal Fury Special \\ NEOGEO AES secret char Ryo's fireball breaks the AI! Easy playthrough~~
1Playing as secret character Ryo Sakazaki through Fatal Fury Special for NEOGEO AES, using the ROM from the PC NeoGeo Humble Bundle in MAME 0.253, with Unibios 4.0.
Playthrough on Easy but probably didn't matter; I follow up with a bit of play at the hardest, "MVS" difficulty setting, and the AI still doesn't even try to block his fireballs--then I compare playing as Fatal Fury series regular Terry Bogard, whose fireballs they DO react to.
So it looks like the developers just didn't bother telling the AI about Ryo's fireball. ; )

That strobing at the start of Duck's stage is weird; frame-by-framing it from the video, the background switches to red, then blue, then mauve--kind of a mix of the two previous frames, I suppose--then the normal stage background, then back to red and cycles again. It isn't great, but it isn't as harsh as the unadulterated single-frame red flashes SNK would use elsewhere--and apparently it only happens for these few Duck-stage opening seconds in the entire game.
Ah I found that tortuous old Terry playthrough I was thinking of, it was of Fatal Fury 3, the game after this one: https://youtu.be/1CkZ4NF6u5w
A couple Japanese arcades with Garou Densetsu Special (that's the game's Japanese name, it means "Hungry Wolf Legend Special" according to Wikipedia) video sessions posted in the last 24 hours include Game Center Mikado
