Regional Differences

Title Screen

Japan	US/Europe

The Japanese title screen is slightly modified from the previous game with green text for the romaji, animated flames within the kanji, and "Special" in golden text. In contrast, the international title screen uses the same design for "Special" but has another redesigned "Fatal Fury" logo over a gray background. In addition, the "Special" letters in the Japanese version appear and vanish one at a time in quick succession before the word appears in full; while the international version has the letters slide onto the screen from the right to form the word, which then gains a drop shadow.
