The full release of Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves is now just over a week away, but players got to get their hands on the game a bit early.
SNK has now released the official character usage and match up chart data from Fatal Fury’s second open beta test.
There were nine playable fighters to pick from in the most recent beta, and some of them were clearly much more popular than others.
For the combined Arcade and Smart Style control players, Tizoc would actually be the most played character of the whole event with an impressive 16.4% usage rate.
This is likely due, however, to the grappler being the only new character added to the roster over the first beta, so more players were curious to check him out.
Terry Bogard would take second place with 14.4% with Rock right behind his mentor at 14.3%.
Interestingly, the newcomer Preecha would take up the fourth spot while the other, Vox Reaper, was down at sixth.
There were two characters in particular who did not get used nearly as much as the rest of the beta roster, though, with Kain only pulling in 7.4% and B. Jenet at the bottom with 6.5%.

Looking at just the Arcade Style players does put Rock just slightly over Terry while Mr. Bogard was actually the most popular Smart Style character.
As for the match ups, things looked a bit difference in terms of performance in-game.
Kain actually ended up with the highest win rate of them all by a bit of a margin with a whopping 57.79% average.
He also had the best match up in the beta over Tizoc with a 66.53% victory chance as well as the second best over Jenet.
Terry and Hotaru were the only other characters with notably high win rates though Rock and Vox were also on the positive side of things.
Tizoc unsurprisingly then had the lowest win rate at just 43.82% while Preecha, Jenet, and Mai were all under 50% as well.
These rankings may very well change with the full release’s 17 characters, especially after seeing what Christiano Ronaldo and Salvatore Ganacci can do, but it’s still interesting to see how the new game may be shaping up at the start of things.
We’ll have to wait for the next batch of rankings, though, to get a clearer picture of how the streets of South Town are faring.
Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves is set to release April 24 for the PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
