Fatal Fury 2 (alt) [Arcade] - play as Wolfgang Krauser

This is a playthrough using Wolfgang Krauser in the Arcade version of Fatal Fury 2. Read on below for more information...

Krauser is the 4th and final boss. He is an unplayable character in all original NeoGeo versions of the game (MVS/AES/CD).

===== ABOUT KRAUSER =====

As Geese Howard's younger half-brother and the Earl of the Stroheim family, Krauser plays a big part in the Fatal Fury storyline. He is the originator of the Kaiser Wave projectile move, of whom Rugal Bernstein "took" from and improved upon.

In Fatal Fury 2, he is a crimelord of darkness and one of the organizers of the King of Fighters tournament. He is owner of the Stroheim castle.

===== GAMEPLAY =====

As he is a non-selectable character it means that he isn't meant to be controlled by a human player... and when he is controlled by a human player it shows because in gameplay, there are a quite a lot of moves and animations/sprites missing for certain moves. Here is the information on him, as follows:

---- In the original version of the game, Krauser does not appear on the character select screen.

---- In this alternate version of the game, his VS screen portrait image is taken and copied into the character select screen (on the right). He is also made selectable here. It's done in a way where it looks very authentic!

---- He cannot duck (it does give you a static animation where it looks like he is standing slightly lower though), and he does not have any ducking Normals. If you try his ducking attacks, he just disappears for a split second.

---- He does not have a proper animation for crawling forward, instead he just "slides" forward.

---- His jumping attacks, the body splash and flying kicks, just hang and do not retract. Just like Vega, Sagat and Bison's jumping kicks in SFII: World Warrior.

---- His HP Taunt leaves him in a still animation. He isn't frozen though, and you can override this.

---- His far Normal Kicks are his Leg Tomahawk. This attack was made into a Special Move for Fatal Fury Special and for his future appearances.

---- Unlike the other three bosses, he can go into the background plane.

---- In gameplay, in his lifebar icon, his hair is black/grey for some reason.

---- In this alternate version of the game, when you win a round with him, he uses Bear's name.

---- In this alternate version of the game, when you beat the game with him you get Big Bear's ending. This was done to stop the game crashing.

---- After you beat the game, after the credits, when get to enter your name it shows Krauser's VS screen portrait correctly.
