Some time after Terry Bogard defeats his father's murderer, Geese Howard, a
new challenge arises.
Geese's half-brother Krauser, a member of the German nobility, is looking for
the ultimate battle. He is intrigued and excited by the prospect of fighting the legendary Terry
Bogard. But when Krauser and Terry do face off, it would seem as if Terry is no match
for Krauser.
Terry, much intimidated by Krauser's overwhelming power, sinks into a
meaningless life of alcoholism. But a young boy named Tony just might be able to help bring Terry back to his
senses.
Fatal Fury 2: The New Battle Anime Review
Like all the other Fatal Fury anime, Fatal Fury: The New Battle is
characterized by a very uncomplicated plot.
In this installment, we see Fatal Fury's premiere fighting hero Terry Bogard
almost flush his life down the drain.
Terry's adversary Krauser is quite an interesting fellow. As you'll see, the
guy has some deep-seated psychological problems (most of them originating from
his childhood).
His motives aren't propelled by the usual megalomaniac-y ambitions that plague
most fighting anime villains. All he wants is a real kick-ass challenge worthy of his abilities. Besides, it isn't often that you meet someone capable of scaring the hell out
of Terry Bogard.
The art and animation are done well, and the action scenes are nothing short
of explosive. The ever-bouncy Fatal Fury gal Mai Shiranui also makes her first anime
appearance in this OVA.
Fatal Fury: The New Battle is overall an above average action feature.
I didn't find it quite as balanced and involving as the first Fatal Fury OVA but it's
still fun to watch. It even conveys a message to those who think that a life of fighting is
exciting and cool.
Miscellanies: Fatal Fury 2: The New Battle
I think that this too, is better than the Fatal Fury movie in terms of plot
and characterization.
