SNK Corporation, the developer and publisher behind the game, has released a trailer showcasing Ronaldo's transformation into the comic-inspired art style of *Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves*. Ronaldo's character utilizes football-themed attacks, including a command move named "Headed Clearance" and a slide tackle.
