  Duck King is on his way to City of the Wolves Season 3!

  "The hottest, hypest moves in South Town! Break it down!"Duck King, one of Fatal Fury's most unique fighters, hits the roster!The one-of-a-kind Duck King has been a Fatal Fury series staple from the very beginning. Since appearing in the first installment, FATAL FURY (1991), this dance and martial arts hybrid has wowed fans with his nimble footwork, tricky moves, impeccable rhythm, and undeniable heart. It was an encounter with Terry Bogard many years ago that first set Duck King off on his fighter's journey, and fittingly the Hungry Wolf is what serves as the impetus for his long-awaited return.

Revenge of the Duck—it's time.Arcade:Richard Meyer, owner of Pao Pao Café, reaches out to Duck with grave news: certain parties are looking to buy out the beloved establishment.
