Completing Cristiano Ronaldo in Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves

Like most contemporary fighting games, Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves features a diverse roster of 17 characters, including familiar faces from the series as well as some unexpected guests.

No one embodies this quirkiness more than real-life DJ Salvatore Ganacci, yet even he pales in comparison to the surprising inclusion of Cristiano Ronaldo, the captain of Al-Nassr FC. Despite the uniqueness of his presence, Ronaldo brings an intriguing moveset to the game—let’s explore what he has to offer.

Overview of Cristiano Ronaldo

While Ronaldo may be one of the more unconventional characters in the City of the Wolves lineup, he’s also a formidable and adaptable fighter. He excels in space control and mix-ups, particularly with his projectile attacks. Unsurprisingly for a football player, his projectile moves are his strongest feature. He can either kick a football at his opponent or summon a ball that reacts when hit, creating excellent opportunities for trapping and combo setups.

Beyond his powerful projectiles, Ronaldo is a versatile character with the potential for high damage and combos, despite some of his moves having significant start-up times. His impressive reach and normal attacks also make him suitable for zoning and keeping opponents at a distance while strategizing with his projectiles. If necessary, his command run special lets him close gaps rapidly and efficiently deal with aerial threats with fast anti-air moves.

In summary, Ronaldo is an excellent character who combines strong, fast projectiles with the potential for powerful combos and long-range kicks. Although his moveset isn’t highly varied, and he’s vulnerable when cornered due to the need for setup, he shines for players who enjoy intricate combos or simply want to dominate with projectile attacks.

Tips and Tricks for Cristiano Ronaldo

Before you embark on your journey to master Ronaldo, here are some useful strategies that can help you become a top-notch player online. The key factor to remember is that Ronaldo is one of the more unpredictable characters, featuring tricky moves and projectiles that keep opponents guessing. Make it a point to vary the speed and size of your projectiles to keep your adversary off-balance.

Ronaldo’s character shines with strong anti-air capabilities through his Field Dominator and Rising C Cross specials. Should you break on the Rising C Cross, expect a shorter knee attack that provides ample room for follow-up combos and damage. This move stands as one of his best anti-air options, making rivals vulnerable.

When Rising C Cross isn’t in play, use Field Dominator to your advantage. Holding the heavy version allows the ball to stay airborne longer, adding another layer of unpredictability. The REV version of Field Dominator lets the ball hit the opponent twice, making it easier to land follow-up attacks.

As for summoning football projectiles, keep in mind that Ronaldo can interact with the projectiles after their creation. For instance, using Light Punch serves as an effective setup, while low Heavy Kick makes for a powerful tackle, and Heavy Punch directs the ball towards the enemy. These moves become vital when a projectile fails to hit directly.

Ronaldo also boasts excellent poking abilities due to his extended reach. He’s particularly effective when cornering an opponent, utilizing his array of mix-up and projectile options. However, bear in mind that some combos necessitate space because they rely on Deep-Rooted Step for connectivity. It’s another powerful move, providing high-low mix-ups that can catch opponents off guard.
