	Art of Fighting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Art of Fighting was the first fighting game with a super bar, and introduced the spirit gauge and desperation move (the equivalent of super moves, often used with SNK fighting games) into the fighting game vernacular.
		The central story of the original Art of Fighting is a typical damsel in distress story set in the fictitious city of Southtown (a common setting among SNK games), where the duo of Ryo Sakazaki and Robert Garcia try to rescue Ryo's sister and Robert's love interest, Yuri Sakazaki.
		In the English version of Art of Fighting, the Haoh Shohkoh-Ken is known as the Haow-Ken (which was a translation mistake).

		Art of Fighting may have some new ideas like using spirit gauges that limits your special moves plus the game also tries to focus on a main story instead on separate quests but these features could also be seen as negatives to some people.
		Art of Fighting is the game that gave us some of the best characters from the SNK brand however...
		Art of Fighting 2 (which never made it past the NEO GEO system, is impossible to find and probably never will find it) gave you more options, better gameplay and more challenge.

	NGFL - Art of Fighting Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Art of Fighting was supposed to have a slightly more serious tone than some of the other fighting games that were around at that time.
		AoF did have some decent sound effects, especially the noise that is used for some of the more powerful hits (they also added this sound to KoF on certain AoF characters moves as well).
		Art of Fighting is a classic game in many respects, and although it looks very bad by today's standards, it is still enjoyable.

	Art of Fighting
		Into this gripefest falls Art of Fighting, a 40-minute OVA based on a mediocre game I played way back in college when there were too many people in line for Street Fighter 2 (another game-to-anime, I might add).
		You can't hate Art of Fighting, as much as you might try, because it stays constantly peppy and relatively inoffensive despite its absolutely mindless approach.
		Art of Fighting deserves a grade lower than what I'm going to wind up giving it, I suppose, based on what I just said.

		In tracing the history of the art we are met at the outset with difficulties which are not uncommon in similar researches, the unreliableness of much of the literature of the art.
		The art of Kogusoku is ascribed to Takenouchi, a native of Sakushiu.
		Besides, if Chingempin had been skilled in the art, it is almost certain that he would have referred to it in his book of poems which, along with Gensei the priest with whom he became intimate at the castle of Nagoya, they published under their joint names as the Gengenshoashin.

	Ink 19 :: Art Of Fighting
		Originally released in their native Australia two years back, Wires is Art Of Fighting's debut album, and a new feather in the hat of Aussie indie pop.
		Tying in with the British guitar music of post-Radiohead, parallels may be drawn to a band like Coldplay, but Art Of Fighting is at another place completely -- this is a tense, claustrophobic album that avoids lazy escapism and comforting lulls.
		Art Of Fighting have crafted a careful and considered album that knows when to hold back and when not to -- its songs are brought to life not only by sheer songcraft, but by Art Of Fighting's inimitable sense of instrumental dynamics and group interplay.

	Martial Arts Planet - "The art of fighting without fighting"
		"Fighting without fighting" I believe was just meant as a joke on the Australian guy, who was being all boisterous about how great his fighting was, only to be defeated without a punch thrown.
		I was fighting my brother in it one day, and after an entire 5 minute game, I had no clue what I'd done at all, but looking at the scores, I'd massacred my brother.
		You can try to link "fighting without fighting" to it as much as you think, I like to think it was just a witty stab at how he brought the Australian guy down without a single violent action against him.

	AAW: Art of Fighting Review
		Art of Fighting manages to rise above its own mediocrity mainly because the two main characters are so far from the slick, ready to take on the world streetfighters that populate most fighting-game-derived anime that you can't help but like them at least a little.
		The art has a palette of bright, faded-looking colors and is mediocre at best, the character designs aren't anything to write home about either, and the animation is pretty bad.
		In all, Art of Fighting is another mediocre action flick that looks bad, has a tired retread of a plot, weak action, and generally lacks quality in any form.

	NGFL - Art Of Fighting 3 Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		After another two year wait, the third entry into the Art Of Fighting series was released, and for this installment SNK completely re-did everything from the ground up.
		Fighting against the computer is more fun than before too as it doesn't seem to cheat as much as it used to and it certainly isn't as ridiculously hard as AOF2 was.
		Art Of Fighting 3 is a good game, although it does get overlooked because like the previous games in the series it's still not really the most solid and balanced 2D fighter around.

		It’s a mystery how Art of Fighting have stayed together, adding as they have family relations and romance to the already claustrophobic world of tour vans, backstage, hotels and rehearsal rooms.
		Wires earned Art Of Fighting their first real overseas recognition, licensed by labels in the USA, Japan, Germany and Taiwan.
		Art Of Fighting returned in 2004 with their sophomore effort Second Storey, a subtle refinement of Wires that revealed a band settling into reflective harmony.

		And as in any other "art," the raw materials (in this case, the human body and mind) are refined and developed to a high level as shown in the skill and expertise of the "artist's" work.
		Genuine martial art is quite different from "natural" fighting, just as poetry is different from more natural, conversational forms of writing.
		This problem is evident in martial arts tournaments: forms are done with great intensity and accuracy, but the sparring competition infrequently shows any high-level fighting technique.

		After a twelve-month hiatus it was a 2003 tour of Japan that finally set Second Storey's wheels in motion, spurring Art of Fighting to write and rehearse half a dozen new songs.
		The hushed, near-groove of Your Easy Part is Art of Fighting's most succinct pop moment to date, less than four minutes of folksy melodies that spiral and return.

	Art of Fighting
		Breaking tradition with films like these, Art of Fighting remains focused on concluding its simple set-up, which basically involves the bullied boy getting his revenge and learning a few harsh facts of life along the way.
		As it turns out, the 'art' of fighting that Baek's 'master' teaches Jae, the avid pupil, is that playing dirty is necessary for survival.
		Ultimately, he never really learns how to fight (we never see a prolonged training sequence that involves sparring), instead Jae is encouraged by Baek to discard his fear, to allow his feelings to bubble to the surface, and from then on to simply act on intuition and reflexes.

	Art of Fighting 2 Review
		A nice touch, that was also present in Art Of Fighting I, is the fact that the characters will become more bruised as they sustain more hits to the face.
		One problem that plagued Art Of Fighting I was the quality of the voices, which were very muffled and quiet.
		Like Art Of Fighting I, there are two separate bars, one for life and one for spirit.

	AAW: 2nd Opinion Review: Art of Fighting
		Well, I hadn't been expecting Art of Fighting to be particularly exceptional when I first picked up this tape for $5, but I hadn't been expecting it to be this bad.
		Now, I'm not an Art of Fighting fan (that particular series kind of faded out of existence years ago) but I am familiar with these characters and I know a fair bit about them from King of Fighters.
		Compare all this to Fatal Fury, which is based on a game by the same guys who made Art of Fighting but is much more faithful to the original (and is, after the first part, of much higher quality).

	Fighting the Art Bullies
		The question of definitions and meaning in art is famously vexing--and should be, perhaps part of any work's finer attributes--and raised by the subsequent pieces in this section as well.
		Censoring art doesn't promote civic stability; censorship promotes only the illusion of civic stability, the illusion of homogeneity; and the health of the state is consequently imperiled, because a healthy state needs vigorous, lively, pluralistic debate, not enforced acquiescence to a bullying majority.
		Don't get chuffed-up and fill the play with anger, which the attacks on your work may have generated; part of the strategy of the enemies of art is to create toxic environments in which the art, even if on display, can't be properly received.

	CD Baby: ART OF FIGHTING: Wires
		Art of Fighting have been recording since their beginnings in 1995 and have continued to progress, culminating in the beautiful amalgam that is their first proper album, Wires (after two 6-song EPs on Half a Cow, The Very Strange Year and Empty Nights).
		Winner of the prestigious Australian Record Industry Awards' "Best Alternative Album of 2001," Wires showcases the band at the peak of their game, delivering delicate, atmospheric (yet occasionally thundering) rock that evokes Low, Seam, the Sarah Records "sound," Luna, Belle & Sebastian, Red House Painters, Galaxie 500, and even Radiohead and Coldplay.
		Art of Fighting have toured Australia and Europe and have performed with Cat Power, Smog, Mogwai, Stephen Malkmus, Songs Ohia, the Church and the Go-Betweens.

	Korean Movie Reviews for 2006
		Debut director Shin Han-sol's The Art of Fighting is a different sort of action film, one that largely avoids impressive displays of physical movement, and instead focuses on the gritty, sensual aspects of fighting.
		The Art of Fighting is well acted and capably put together, with a mostly predictable but engrossing narrative.
		Ultimately Art of Fighting is worth watching, but is unlikely to rank as one of the highlights of 2006.
