Garou Densetsu 3: Road to the Final Victory (餓狼伝説3 ~遥かなる闘い~) is an entry in the Fatal Fury series of fighting games, originally released for the Neo Geo arcade hardware. It was ported to the Sega Saturn in 1996 and released exclusively in Japan.

Story

The Jin Scrolls are sacred artifacts that are believed to possess untold power. It is said that these three scrolls can only be obtained by the mightiest warrior during a time when martial artists come together to perform the ancient combat arts. Ryuji Yamazaki, a prominent gangster affiliated with the Yakuza and the Chinese mafia, receives reports that the scrolls have been sighted in South Town and travels there to investigate.

Meanwhile, Terry Bogard returns home to South Town after traveling the world in the wake of the second King of Fighters tournament. He meets with his younger brother Andy and his friends Joe and Mai for the grand opening of the Pao Pao Cafe 2, headed by Richard Meyer and his capoeira apprentice Bob Wilson. Joe explains to Terry that he had heard from Cheng Sinzan that Geese Howard is still alive, having survived his fatal fall from his personal tower four years prior and slowly recovering in secret while plotting his revenge against Terry. Upon learning of this, Terry and his friends set out to confirm the rumor.

Gameplay

Garou Densetsu 3 is a fighting game and retains the format and controls of the previous game in the series, Fatal Fury Special. However, the two-lane battle stages have been revamped into a three-lane format known as the "Oversway System." The game also features a "Fighting Level" system when fighting against the computer. After defeating an opponent, the player's performance is graded on a scale of E, D, C, B, A, AA, and AAA. The final opponents that the player faces at the end of the game is determined then by the player's average.

In a single-player game, the player can choose from four characters as the first opponent (Joe, Mary, Bob, and Franco). After the first four opponents are defeated, the player fights a single round against Ryuji Yamazaki in a plot-based match. The player then proceeds to fight against Mai, Andy, Hon-Fu, Sokaku, Terry, and Geese, in that order, before fighting Yamazaki again for a full match. Characters have unique dialogue with each other in between matches. Depending on the grade average, the game either ends with the match against Yamazaki, or the player fights against either, or both, of the Jin twins, starting with Chonshu and ending with Chonrei. Each character also has slightly different endings depending on the player's performance in the game. There is no dedicated two-player mode, but a second player can enter the game at any time by pressing  START  to start a two-player match.

Characters move with Left and Right. They dash with Left Left or Right Right; dashes can be canceled by tapping in the opposite direction. Characters crouch with Down and can move forward while crouched with Down-right (or Down-left when facing left). They jump upward with Up; holding Up jumps higher than tapping Up. They jump behind and ahead with Up-left or Up-right. Characters can attack with a light punch with X, a heavy punch with A, a light kick with Y, and a heavy kick with B. Characters have different attacks depending on whether they are standing, crouching, or jumping. Pressing A when far away from an opponent performs a taunt. Every fighter has special techniques performed by inputting specific directions with an attack button. Characters also have Desperation moves, which are powerful special moves that can causes massive damage but can only be used when the character's vitality gauge is low and flashing. Desperation attacks have secret powered-up versions that can be performed once per round if a code is entered at the beginning of the round.

Characters can block attacks by holding the D-Pad in the opposite direction of the opponent. Blocking while standing guards against high attacks (from a standing or jumping opponent), while blocking while crouched defends against both high and low attacks. Blocking can now be done in midair as well. While guarding an opponent's attack, characters can counter with an evasion maneuver by pressing the weak punch button, which reduces the damage taken and potentially damages the opponent if within range. Characters have their own grabs and throws that can be performed in close range and which cannot be blocked.

Fights take place in three-lane battlegrounds. Players fight primarily in the middle lane but can move (or "sway") into the background with Z or the foreground with C. The player can perform an attack in a sway lane by pressing any attack button, which returns the character to the main lane. Likewise, the player can attack an opponent who is in a sway lane with Z to hit an opponent in the background or C to hit an opponent in the foreground. When characters are finished by a move that knocks them into the background, they are thrown into background objects in some stages; when they are finished by a move that knocks them into the foreground, they are knocked into the screen. Characters automatically return to the main lane after a second if they do not move out of the sway lane manually. Characters can also do a "quick sway" with Down-right (or Down-left when facing left) to dodge an attack, leaving the opponent vulnerable to a regular attack.

Characters

Note: Move lists assume that the character is facing right. When facing left, Left and Right should be reversed.

P Any punch button
 LP  Light punch
 HP  Hard punch
K Any kick button
 LK  Light kick
 HK  Hard kick

Several moves have "fake" versions that play the initial animation and sound clip for the move without actually performing the move, in order to bait a response from the opponent.

To unlock the hidden Desperation moves, press  LP + HP + HK + START  at the beginning of the match, when the characters are performing their introductory animations and before the text saying "GO!" appears on screen. If successful, the character's name appears in yellow, indicating that a hidden Desperation move can be performed.

Playable

Five characters return from Fatal Fury and Fatal Fury 2 (Terry Bogard, Andy Bogard, Joe Higashi, Mai Shiranui, and Geese Howard), and five new characters debut (including Blue Mary, who would become a fixture of the King of Fighters series).
