Hungry Wolf Legend is a fighting game published by SNK.
But few people know that the gameplay of "Hungry Wolf Legend" was originally the concept that Nishiyama Takashi designed for "Street Fighter", but unfortunately it was rejected by CAPCOM, and after jumping to SNK, he incorporated his ideas into "Hungry Wolf Legend".
Although "Hungry Wolf Legend" is a game that SNK focuses on, the game instructions are notoriously difficult. In the "Hungry Wolf Legend 3" period, it designed the most inhuman potential ability in history to make a move, which dissuaded some players.
When "The Legend of the Hungry Wolf" was at its best, its popularity was higher than that of the later "Yuehua Swordsman", "Samurai Soul" and "Apocalypse of the Storm". But over time, many players began to get tired of the upper, middle and lower three layers of scene design, and this is still the case until "RB Hungry Wolf Legend".
At this time, the popularity of boutique fighting games such as "The King of Fighters", "True Samurai Soul", "Young Street Fighter", "The True Legend of the Outer Magic Realm" and "Overlord Ninja Law Post" has been relatively high, plus various 3D fighting games are about to move, the situation of "The Legend of the Hungry Wolf" is a little embarrassing, and there is no chance to become a phenomenal game. (On the console platform, Hungry Wolf Legend already has a dominant position)
However, in the mid-to-late nineties, RB Hungry Wolf Legend once again became the darling of the arcade, and the daily coin volume far exceeded other fighting games of the same period, and even crushed "Street Fighter".
So what is the charm of this "Legend of the Hungry Wolf"?
Before the unlimited energy of The King of Fighters came out, did you think that one day you could play the all-you-can-drink special move? And this RB Hungry Wolf Legend can do it, because there is a test mode in the game that can be triggered by any player.
As shown in the following figure:
When the word SNK appears on the demo screen, press the A, B, C, D, and START keys of 1P and 2P at the same time. A string of numbers will appear, and congratulations, you've made it.
At this time, you only need to use the ↓↓ + button to release the special move, completely ignoring the energy and health, and release it casually. Interestingly, even if you turn on the test mode after shutting it down, it is still retained, and you can always unleash unlimited special moves.
The attack frequency of the CPU of "Legend of the Hungry Wolf" is relatively high, and there is always a starting style to release the kill, which leads to players often unable to release their moves. But as long as you successfully release twice, you can win.
The special effects of "The Legend of the Hungry Wolf" are really very good, the art style is constantly enhanced, and the skills will be reset to a certain extent with each version, and the special effects are more gorgeous. It can be said that the "Legend of the Hungry Wolf" series is the most fancy game created by SNK.
The effects of "The Legend of the Hungry Wolf" and "The Legend of the True Hungry Wolf" can be said to be very different, and a little comparison can be seen:
"Legend of the Hungry Wolf"
RB Hungry Wolf Legend Special Edition
The big moves in the "Legend of the Hungry Wolf" series are divided into: super special moves and potential abilities
The physical strength is red and flashing, and the energy tank is also in the state of MAX, and you can use these kills
DISPLAYING S.POWER CAN TRIGGER THE SUPER SPECIAL SKILL;
If it is shown P.POWER, the potential ability can be used.
In fact, the difference between these two skills is equivalent to the same as super kill and MAX super kill, but the damage of potential ability may not be more than super special skill every time, which also depends on the person.
Today, let's take a look at those more fancy skills in the legend of the hungry wolf, I don't know if you can play it back then?

The duck king is a popular character created during the "Legend of the Hungry Wolf" period, and this hippie look may be liked by Westerners! After the release of the potential mysterious "Duck Dance", you can connect with other special moves: Burst Typhoon, Shadowless Bullet Break, Spinhead Pole Break, Air Spinning Pole Break.
To be honest, excluding his appearance, this character is very happy, and there are many players in the game hall who like to use him.
Although this version of the instructions is much easier than the previous one, it is sometimes stressful for a hand-crippled party like me. Without a beta version, there is no guarantee that all moves will be rolled out.
After running around for many years, I returned to the game hall that I had in mind, only to find that this place no longer belonged to me. The games are still those games, but the players have all become little children, and the friends of the past have gone their separate ways, but now I am the only one, and I feel a little lonely.
Yes, as you get older, you can't go back a lot!
