Art of Fighting (龍虎りゅうこの拳けん, lit. "Fist of the Dragon and Tiger") is a trilogy of competitive fighting game titles that were released for the Neo Geo platform in the early 1990s. It was the 2nd fighting game franchise created by SNK, following the Fatal Fury series & is set in the same universe.
The original Art of Fighting was released in 1992, followed by two sequels: Art of Fighting 2 (龍虎りゅうこの拳けん 2ツー) in 1994 and The Path of the Warrior: Art of Fighting 3 (龍虎りゅうこの拳けん 外伝がいでん) in 1996. While no sequel has been produced since the 3rd game, the characters have survived through their inclusion in The King of Fighters series.
The games follow the struggles of the students of the Kyokugenryu Karate Dojo, Ryo Sakazaki and Robert Garcia, in what appears to be the late seventies. Ryo is the son of the Kyokugen Karate discipline’s creator, Takuma Sakazaki, and Robert is the wayward son of a billionaire family from Italy. The initial 2 titles are set in Southtown, a common location in SNK games that is also the setting for the Fatal Fury series, while the 3rd appears to take place in a fictitious area of Mexico.

"WHITE MEN FIGHT BACK!" after a white Trump supporter deletes another white Trump supporter in front of white people in the whitest republican mormon state of Utah. White men threaten HBCU.. because...white people?

Get the White men fight back!mug. Motto of a Commander in Chief of a major military power (aka El Presidente Espolones Oseos for some obscure reason), with a penchant for hiding behind a woman's apron strings for protection from Elon Musk.
El Presidente Grande Quejarse: "Mommy! ELON won't leave me alone! Make Elon leave."
Susie Wiles: "Oh, don't you worry Sweaty, you know your Mommy will Fight! Fight! Fight! all your fights for you.
Are your feet feeling better now? Good! Well, you run along now Drumpffy and Fight! Fight! Fight! all those illegal alien Criminal Felons; there's a good boy.

Now Elon, you know what we said about Fight! Fight! Fighting with El Presidente. Now don't be silly with me, my little Hermione, we both know you didn't forget. Now, as your punishment your new office will be moved outside the White House, o-Kaaayy? Now tell Mommy you've understood what I've said; there's a good boy."

Get the I don’t fightmug. by H3arts4No1ne December 11, 2023
Get the Girl fightsmug. A location, in Scandinavia, where a high percentage of its current population are big hairy nude men that comfortable with their bodies so they dont wear clothes.. This happens in the community water areas so there are plenty of Scandinavians with their wankers walking about, scaring tourist children along with others.
My family went on vacation in Iceland where community pools are very popular. They also do not like to wear any swimming garments so it was a Scandinavian Sword Fight.
