The games follow the struggles of the students of the Kyokugenryu Karate Dojo, Ryo Sakazaki and Robert Garcia, in what appears to be the late seventies. Ryo is the son of the Kyokugen Karate discipline’s creator, Takuma Sakazaki, and Robert is the wayward son of a billionaire family from Italy. The initial two titles are set in Southtown, a common location in SNK games that is also the setting for the Fatal Fury series, while the third appears to take place in a fictitious area of Mexico.
The plot of Art of Fighting alludes to Fatal Fury. Art of Fighting 2, for instance, documents the rise of Geese Howard from corrupt police commissioner to crime lord of Southtown. Takuma is said to be a contemporary of Jeff Bogard, father of Fatal Fury's main hero, Terry Bogard. Jeff Bogard's at the hands of Geese Howard triggers the events of the Fatal Fury series.

Art of Fighting (1992): In the first game, Ryo Sakazaki and Robert Garcia set out to find Ryo's sister, Yuri, who has been by Mr. Big on behalf of Geese Howard. She was taken in order to incense Takuma Sakazaki, and Ryo who refused to work for Big. After they defeat Mr. Big, Ryo and Robert face the enigmatic Mr. Karate. Art of Fighting's story ends with a cliff-hanger as Yuri is about to disclose the true identity of Mr. Karate as their father Takuma. Art of Fighting's events are referenced often in the wider SNK universe. King of Fighters '97 for instance, parodies the events of the game in its ending.
Only Ryo and Robert are playable in the 1-player story mode. Although eight of the characters are playable in the 2-player vs. modes. Mr. Big and Mr. Karate can be played via the use of cheat codes.

Art of Fighting 2 (1994): Art of Fighting 2 was released in 1994. The game's story is set a year after the original. Geese Howard, a rising star in Southtown's criminal underworld, calls fighters to the city for a new tournament, "The King of Fighters".
Art of Fighting 2 is the only time Yuri Sakazaki is a playable character in the series. It also marked the only time that she donned her trademark outfit, which was made famous in the King of Fighters series. This second installment of the series added the "rage gauge". Similar to the "spirit system" of its predecessor, it limited the use and effectiveness of special attacks. This game is also notorious for its difficulty, with it being referred in many fighting circles as having some of the toughest opponent A.I. in a fighting game.

Art of Fighting 3: The Path of the Warrior (1996): The mostly forgotten Art of Fighting 3 (Art of Fighting: Ryūko no Ken Gaiden in Japan) featured a new cast of characters with the exception of Ryo and Robert. One of the game's characters, Kasumi Todoh, became a part of the King of Fighters cast.
The story switched focus from the Sakazakis to Robert Garcia. Garcia disappears to search for an old childhood friend, Freia Lawrence, and he tracks her to Glasshill, Mexico. Freia is sought out by the game's antagonist, Wyler, to complete a powerful elixir that was created by his and Freia's fathers. The drug affects users in a similar manner as the potion in The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
