Real Bout Fatal Fury Special is a 1997 arcade fighting game released by SNK for the Neo Geo. It is the sixth installment in the Fatal Fury series and the second game in the Real Bout sub-series, following Real Bout Fatal Fury (1995). The game features entirely new graphics and returns to the two-level plane system from Fatal Fury 2.
In Japan, it was ported in 1998 to the Sega Saturn and as an updated version, Real Bout Special: Dominated Mind, to the PlayStation, and as the eighth installment. A Game Boy version was published by Takara in Japan. Real Bout Fatal Fury Special was included in the Fatal Fury Battle Archives Vol. 2 compilation in February 2007 for the PlayStation 2, which was made available in North America. The compilation was re-released in March 2017 on the PlayStation Store for PlayStation 4.
