Art of Fighting 3

Art of Fighting 3: The Path of the Warrior was released in 1996. It used a similar 'spirit' system as its predecessors and featured a completely new cast of characters with the exception of Ryo and Robert.

The story switched focus from the Sakazakis to Robert Garcia. Garcia disappears to search for an old childhood friend, Freia Lawrence, and he tracks her to GlassHill, Mexico. Freia is wanted by the game's boss character, Wyler, to complete a powerful elixir that was created by his and Freia's fathers. The drug affects users in a similar manner as the potion in The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

One of the game's characters, Kasumi Todoh, became a part of the King of Fighters cast.
