Duck King's first appearance as a playable combatant in a mainline fighter in 21 years
Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves has recently kicked off its third season of content. It began July 23rd, with the release of Rick Strowd, the lightweight boxer who debuted in 1998's Real Bout Fatal Fury 2: The Newcomers. For the month of August, the newest roster addition is another blast from the past. Duck King makes his way back to the King of Fighters tournament, featured in a trailer that showcases his athleticism, as well as a return of his Fatal Fury Special theme.
From the official site:
Get down on it with South Town's resident dancing king!
Duck is South Town to the core; after all, he not only has a friendly rivalry with its hero Terry Bogard (after losing to him in his youth), but also a deep love for iconic hangout Pao Pao Café. Indeed, Pao Pao is where you'll mostly find this old-school breaker, living it up like only he knows how: with fights, festivities, and tons of dance floor fever. When rhythmic royalty hits the stage, nothing can stay away or stop him—not even time itself!
Throughout his appearances, Duck King has always been a rushdown fighter with an emphasis on using his unorthodox breakdancing to close distances. His style could be compared to Capoeira. It appears in City of the Wolves, much of that skill set translates over, and seems to have corner carry potential.
Debuting in the original Fatal Fury game in 1991, Duck King has been one of Terry's competitive rivals in matches, but has always considered him a good friend over the years, and has maintained a fairly cordial relationship with the Bogards and their circle of allies. He appeared for the first time in The King of Fighters tournament in KOF XI, taking the spot that had long been held by Andy on the Fatal Fury team, partnering up with Terry and Mark of the Wolves' Tizoc. It would be his only appearance as a playable combatant in an SNK game for more than two decades. He joins this King of Fighters tournament to fight and keep the Pao Pao Cafe from being taken over. His English voice is provided by Cedric Williams (Cheetu: Hunter X Hunter, Kabru: Delicious in Dungeon).
Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves is currently available for Windows, the Xbox Series, and the PlayStation family of consoles.
