I thought Garou 2 was supposed to have Blue Mary. I wanted to see a Mary sprite.
She'd be like almost 50 years old in Garou 2, though.

Loving these reveals from SNK's deep vaults(?) Keep 'em coming whoever's doing this.
Does she moon fools as a taunt though.
So she'd be an ass-whoopin' grandma then.

It'd feel weird to beat up an old woman in a fighting game, tbh.

Damn, sucks things never went forward. Going to give props to orange pants girl like everyone else, but I also want to highlight the really small kid. If that was an actual character, I'm sure they'd be hilariously terrible to fight against due to their size.
That's why Terry shouldn't have been in Garou 2 either. He was pushing it in Garou 1 already, and rock made him pretty redundant. EDIT: Or actually, a more fitting end would be Rock killing terry in Garou 2, which could have been explained by Terry being so old.
and it felt weird in power instinct, too. And LOL like anybody plays power instinct.

Wrong.
That's a nice looking 50 year old.

SNK. "Playmore" is long since gone.
Yes please. I know they said they have no DLC planned, but I hope they go crazy with it. And also that they finish up Garou 2 somehow.
Wrong.Still 20 physically =P
Oh damn she looks amazing! Love the artstyle in Garou.
Matrimelee had a decent following, and it was far more insane.

So the rumors turned out to be true eh? Guess that means Last Blade 3 was also a thing...
Well it won't bring these games back from the graveyard- but on the bright side SNK seems to be due for a comeback under their new Chinese overlords.

Soul Calibur V says otherwise. Taki was too old and busted to even show.

As a big Garou fan, this shit stings after seeing this now in 2016. I really like the new boxer, orange pants girl and the last guy......what a shame .

That last guy looks awesome man. What a waste of a design.

I see Geese Howard is there...
what, you didn't think that wasn't him behind Grant's mask? That was just me?

But the Playmore deal likely ended Garou 2 from getting out. Instead we got...Rage of Dragons.
Crystalis was such a great game. It's a shame the sequel was cancelled and from what I've heard about the remake it's a shame that version even exists.

They look great. Shame technology has made artwork like this too expensive for the low-fi end result.
Love this.

Did NOT expect this to happen today!!!
At least they're acknowledging a demand/obvious fan interest in a sequel of some kind. I spoke with Yasayuki Oda at PSX actually, and talked about MOTW specifically (via a translator ofc). From the little he shared with me about his experiences in development its clear he harbors a residual passion for Fatal Fury, especially Garou.
I know its nearly impractical fiscally but maybe this is an attempt to gauge core interest for a Code mystics (LB2 style ) HD port and later a proper sequel???

Once can dream
Please Oda, please.
Please Oda, please.
I know. Back then I was hoping that they'd add Mai if they made a sequel. Also Hokutomaru isn't a clone and plays quite differently. There shouldn't be a problem for them to exist together.
Garou takes place 10 years after Geese's death in Real Bout Fatal Fury. She's still in her 30s!
Nah, according to the official story, she's still an active ninja during the events of Soul Calibur V. The reason she didn't appear is because she went on a mission elsewhere
though apparently she didn't come back so maybe you're right about her being old and busted.

I would so play a Garou 2. One of my favorite fighters ever released.
Man oh man, what a damn shame this never came to fruition! It could have been a game for the ages.
If only we could convince SNK to revisit this in the same vein as Natsume-Atari are re-releasing Wild Guns with new sprite art and touch ups. Would it really be impossible for them to achieve this or just challenging?

i'm not feeling the designs either - I think they dodged a bullet if this is what they had brewing.
