Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves is now less than a month away, but players got their hands on it again a bit early this past week.
Before the second open beta test shut down, AlietteFaye was able to gather the data of the top-ranked players and characters from the trial.
After manually going through the highest 300 ranked player profiles from the beta, there were four characters that stood out among the cast.
Terry Bogard had the most representation interestingly with 58 players in the top ranks followed closely by his protege Rock Howard at 50.

Hotaru Futaba was closely behind them at 46 with Kain R. Heinlein players getting 40 up there.
B. Jenet and Vox Reaper were the least represented characters at just 16 and 19 respectively.
In terms of character mastery points, however, the Jenet crowd showed up big time at 3,732 while Rock was in second place at 2,890.
These placements may not obviously mean all that much for the final release considering the beta was still missing almost half of the cast, and there may be more balance changes made to the full version.
But it is still interesting to see who may get out to an early lead in terms of usage and overall strength.
So it seems we’ll have to keep an eye on Terry and Rock though perhaps Jenet may be a bit of a sleeper hit too.
We’ll get a much better picture of how that all starts to shake out in a matter of weeks.
Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves is slated to release on April 23, 2025 for the PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
Infographics for the City of the Wolves 2nd beta. I have been informed that the leaderboards, for whatever insane reason, do NOT display the character that the player uses. Their full profile does. So please disregard the infographics from beta test 1.#餓狼伝説 #CotW #CotWobt pic.twitter.com/JkvaScPG09
