Buriki One (Buriki One: World Grapple Tournament '99 in Tokyo) is an arcade versus fighting game. It is an offshoot of the Art of Fighting series of video games created by SNK. In the brief time-frame of the Neo-Geo 64's popularity, it was characterized for its surperb graphics that processed at a smooth 60 frames per second and a unique fighting system. So far, it has only been released in one iteration, with no sequels, maybe because the game was not very well received, and this game wasn't distribuited off Japan. Although the main character Gai Tendo has been one of the few characters from this game who has appeared in various SNK games, as cameos or playable character (in the recent KOF XI).

[edit] Plot
The setting for BURIKI-ONE is Spring 1999 (20 years later after Art of Fighting 3), Crowds flock to an arena known as the Tokyo Fighting Tournament, where various fighters compete for the championship. The only character from the Art of Fighting series to be on the game is Ryo Sakazaki as 10 other fighters of different fighting arts enter to be the champion of the tournament. And at the final of tournament, a dark fighter know as Silber appeared.
[edit] Gameplay
Buriki One is the fourth and final three-dimensional fighting game released for the Neo-Geo 64 system. Buriki One's control system that uses two buttons for movement, keeping the player on a 2-D axis, despite the 3D arena. Pressing the left button moves the character in the left direction, pressing the right moves in that respective direction. Double tapping each button produces a dash in each corresponding direction for evasion and closing distance.
By using the joystick, the player can execute attacks of varying damage levels. By pressing in the forward direction, the player executes a medium attack, up forward a stronger attack, and down, forward is the weakest, but fastest attack. By combining various combinations of the movement of the stick, a special attack is performed for increased damage. Unlike the 2-D iterations, however, no ranged attacks are present, keeping the preferred fighting distance between players at close quarters.

[edit] Trivia
- Buriki One was the last game to be released for the Hyper Neo-Geo 64. [2]
- Buriki One took place in Spring 1999, and Ryo's profile for this game indicates that he is 32 years old. The game's got this one wrong, as Ryo is supposed to be about 41 years old during the game. Because of the ongoing Ryo Sakazaki birthday error, it would seem that Buriki-One exists in a continuity that is separate from that of the AoF and FF series.
- Gai Tendo, the main character of this game, is one of the favorite characters in SNK universe, appearing in various cameos (mainly in KOF series), as a striker in KOF99: Evolution and KOF 2000 and in many SNK group artworks since 1999.
- Some Buriki One characters appears in the SNK vs. Capcom: Card Fighters Clash series: Gai Tendo, Rob Python and Takato Saionji (with a sports outfit instead Aikido gi), as the Buriki Girl as one of SNK Action Cards of the first Card Fighters Clash. Recently, Silber also appears as a SNK character card in the recent Card Fighters DS.
- Gai and Silber appears as mid-bosses in the recent King of Fighters XI.
