The Art of Fighting 3: The Path of the Warrior, originally released in Japan as Ryuuko no Ken Gaiden (龍虎の拳 外伝), is the third and final entry in the Art of Fighting series. The game cast is almost all composed of new characters, excepting for Robert Garcia and Ryo Sakazaki. Yuri Sakazaki also appears in the game, but as a non-playable character.
One of the game's biggest selling points was the game's motion capturing system, allowing 2D sprites with fluid and believable animations. It is one of the few games that also doesn't have an arcade perfect transition for the Neo Geo CD, as it has slightly shrunken sprites and different shades of the color palette. However, it also featured voiced win quotes for each character and endings for Sinclair and Wyler.
This game is also the only one in the series to have a short CD drama.
Gameplay
SPIRIT SYSTEM, PROVOCATION AND ULTIMATE K.O.
Much from its prequels had incorporated the Spirit System wherein spirit decreases due to special techniques but can be recovered by keeping your distance from your enemy. You can also tempt opponents to come to your area by provoking them, significantly depleting their spirit. Strategy combined with fighting creates a new chapter in head-to-head matches. Besides normal punches, kicks, and throws, each character has several death blows in their arsenal. These techniques deplete a portion of the player's spirit gauge. If ever the spirit level drops below green, these techniques dwindle in power and range considerably. Spirit can be recover slowly or by standing in place to charge it. Beware, you are very open to attack while charging!
In AOF 3, each character has unique arrays of special moves and Super Death Blows! These moves are strictly particular to the required remaining strength and level of the Rage Gauge in order to be usable, but marvel at their devastating results once you pull them off against your unsuspecting opponent!
You can also insult opponents to break away their spirit gauge. However, you are also open to attack while doing so. Strategic timing of taunts will enable you to gain control over the match once you had crippled you opponent from using his special techniques!
A new rule imposed in this game is the Ultimate K.O., wherein a fight can be terminated at once! If your opponent has less than 10% strength left, finish him off with a Super Death Blow. Knocking him out in that manner wins you the whole match, regardless of how many wins the opponent had or the number of rounds you need to win the match. Violent battles can never be this tense!
Rody Birts is a cop with a cool attitude that doesn't mess with anybody, and his batons will make sure you know that he means business. Being a rushdown character, he's pretty fast and packing pretty solid mixups out of his pressure. Rody can either go for his double sweep out of 1BB, or blindside foes with his 6B launcher that hits overhead. Add this on top of his straightforward, highly damaging combos and Rody can quickly swat rounds off the match, acting as a constant threat on okizeme. Why Rody is packing double batons is beyond us, but he most definitely knows how to weild them. He easily stands out better than most characters in the Art of Fighting series thanks to his aggressive playstyle.

Imo it's a good game but also very technical and difficult.
