Story
The following plot summary is translated from the home versions' manual: Somewhere in Hong Kong , two martial artists face each other in a vast courtyard. The challenger is a stout man in brown skin. The ground has been tainted with blood. However, his crescent blade has not touched his opponent yet.
It was a one-sided battle. He was already exhausted and it will not be long before he would fall. ' The Fighting Instinct Tournament, or FIST, is a tournament as fierce as its name suggests. There was no shortage of martial artists who entered the tournament seeking fame, and yet there were many who left the tournament as corpses.
The last challenger who remains in this lawless tournament gets to challenge the organizer of the tournament, the Head of the Huang Financial Clique, for the chance to win the massive prize money. The martial artist who can manage to defeat him will obtain the honor of truly calling him or herself the strongest. However, none of the martial artists who were chosen to challenge the champion in a private final match have ever come back alive. Nobody knows when exactly the tournament is held, since only an avaricious will was spiraling over there.
The sponsor is actually an evil spirit who possessed the body of a modern man from Hong Kong who has established a selection system to amplify his dark powers. The FIST tournament has gathered numerous participants from around the globe and another sacrifice will be chosen this year.

Gameplay Systems
The controls of the game is similar to that of SNK's earlier installments in their Fatal Fury series (particularly Fatal Fury 2 , Special and 3 ). The special actions are also similar to other fighting games from the same era, although the dashing and back-stepping techniques tend to differ between characters (some of them will roll on the floor for example). Additionally, the player can move while standing up after a fall. The game system emphasizes balance between characters by featuring an elaborate damage adjustment feature.
The player also can perform super moves by accumulating enough energy in their power gauge and performing the command (the power gauge can be filled up to three levels). To accumulate energy for the Power Gauge, the player must perform special actions such as taunting, dashing, back-stepping, rolling, etc. Like most fighting games, the player can cancel a regular move into a special move or special move into a super move, but the player can also connect one super move to another until their Power Gauge runs out, allowing the player to perform acrobatic combos. Because of its emphasis on damage adjustment, it is hard to spam the same attacks for great damage.
The matches follows the standard one-on-one best two-of-three format like most fighting games, but a match can last up to five rounds if there is no clear-cut winner in previous rounds (the game will end if both fighters lose the fifth round and no bonus points will be awarded if one wins the fifth round). In the single player mode, if the CPU uses the same character as the player, then the CPU-controlled character's name display will have a different name. The home versions of the game were released for the Neo-Geo AES and the Neo-Geo CD. Both versions feature an option menu with a sound test allowing the player to play the game's music, sound effects and voices.
The CD version adds a 2-player Versus Mode and a Survival Mode. The music is also slightly-arranged. The final boss Bai-Hu is also a playable character in the CD version. An updated version of the game titled Breakers Revenge ( ブレイカーズリベンジ , Bureikāzu Ribenji ) introduces one new character named Saizo and makes the final boss Bai-Hu into a playable character.
g. flags in Sho Kamui's stage). However, the opening intro is almost identical to that of the first game and game's graphics are not that different. Breakers Revenge Chicago ( Japanese : ブレイカーズリベンジ死嘩護) combines the gameplay of Breakers Revenge ( Japanese : ブレイカーズリベンジ), the hidden Extra mode from the Neo-Geo CD version and a new style called Chicago into 3 selectable play styles.
While Revenge is the same as the last installment, Extra! and Chicago are rebalanced. A rebalanced Bai-Hu is now playable without a code. New graphics and HUD have been added to the game.
A new arranged soundtrack by Kenichi Kamio along with the Neo-Geo CD soundtrack are also included in the game. Artwork by manga artist Motoki Yoshihara have been added in the game as wallpaper.
