End notes BASIC INTRODUCTION: Fatal Fury Special [Edition] was the last SNK game ever released on the Super Nintendo. It featured 15 fighters, plus one hidden. It was American-released by the company Takara, who translated it from its original Japanese format. Fatal Fury Special doesn't have a role in the Fatal Fury/King of Fighters storyline; it was mainly a game to please fans. It's pretty much an expanded version of Fatal Fury 2, where Ryo Sakazaki was added as a hidden fighter, and the 6 unplayable bosses from FF2 were made playable. (Geese was not a fighter in Fatal Fury 2) How this FAQ is formatted: This is the orientation of the Super Nintendo controls: UpBk Up UpFwd Bk Fwd DwnBk Dwn DwnFwd Key: Hold A (2 sec.) B + X- Hold "A" for 2 seconds, then press "B" and "X" together. P- Any Punch button.

DwnFwd- Crawlwalk, you can duck and walk at the same time. 3D Move: Jump to the other part of the stage. 3D Attack: Smack your opponent to the other part of the stage. (Note: The following stages are not two-part : Billy Kane, Axel Hawk, Laurence Blood) Also, in order to do a super move, your vitality bar must be flashing. MOVES FOR THE FIGHTERS: ------------- TERRY BOGARD ------------- From: U.S.A. Storyline: Terry Bogard and his brother Andy were orphans living on the streets of Southtown until Martial Artist Jeff Bogard adopted them. Jeff and Geese Howard were both taught the arts of Hakkyokuseiken by Tung Fu Rue. Seeing Geese's evil intentions, Tung Fu Rue taught Jeff the secrets of Hakkyokuseiken instead of Geese. When Geese found out, he became enraged and killed Jeff Bogard, and vowed to kill Tung Fu Rue as well. Terry and Andy vowed to avenge their father's death and began trained hard to defeat Geese Howard. They eventually faced him in the original Fatal Fury. After FF2: Terry was taught by Tung Fu Rue until Tung's untimely death. In Real Bout Fatal Fury, Terry finally avenges his father's death and defeats Geese. However, Terry did not want him dead because he considered that to be evil deed, and did not want to be like Geese. Geese fell of his tower after a Power Geyser from terry, but Terry tried to save him in time. But Geese rejected his help and fell to his death. Since then, Terry has been fighting with his brother Andy, his friend Joe Higashi, and later Andy's girlfriend Mai Shiranui in the King of Fighters tournaments. Between the KoF tournaments and the Real Bout Fatal Fury tournaments, Terry learns he has an admirer by the name of Blue Mary, whom he later joins in the KoF tournaments proceeding KoF 2000. Also, terry is the caretaker and trainer of Rock Howard, who is Geese's orphaned son. (Rock's mother died...or did she?) My opinion: Terry's probably the best-looking hero for the era of this fighting game. He looks convincing as a hero, and has pretty good moves to go with it, he and Geese Howard are a perfect hero and villain. His personality is the highlight of his character. Special Moves: BURN KNUCKLE: Dwn, DwnBk, Bk + P Description: Terry dashes forward with his fist outstretched. RISING TACKLE: Hold Dwn (2 sec.) Up + P Description: Terry jumps up upside-down, spins and hits the opponent with his outstretched arm. CRACK SHOOT: Dwn, DwnBk, Bk + K Description: Terry flips forward and kick-chops the opponent. POWER WAVE: Dwn, DwnFwd, Fwd + P Description: Terry pounds the ground with his fist and a fuse-like ground fireball roars towards the opponent. Desperation Move: POWER GEYSER: Dwn, DwnBk, Bk, DwnBk, Dwn, DwnFwd, Fwd + LK + HP Description: Terry pounds the ground and a flame pillar rises from the ground. It stays in place, and it works best close and with jumping opponents. ------------- ANDY BOGARD ------------- From: Italy (really from the U.S., but stays in Italy.) Storyline: Andy Bogard is Terry Bogard's brother. (Actually, it's unknown whether or not these two are related, but they were adopted together.) He's highly skilled in the arts of Hakkyokuseiken and Koppo. He trains hard to one day face Geese Howard, who killed his foster father, Jeff Bogard. He also attended Jubei Yamada's school of Judo along with Mai Shiranui. He also learned from Mai's grandfather, Hanzoh. After F.F.2: Andy fights alongside his brother Terry and friend Joe Higashi in all of the King of Fighters tournaments. He denies he is Mai's fiance, but he is very close to her. Andy also has some sibling rivalry with Terry, believing Terry is paid more attention to. My opinion: Andy's pretty boring compared to Terry. His moves are all right, but he doesn't have much personality, and his costume's boring. Special Moves: SHOULDER DASH: Hold Bk (2 sec.) Fwd + P Description: Andy slides forward very fast and rams the opponent with his shoulder. RISING SLASH: Dwn, DwnFwd, Fwd + P Description: Andy rises upwards, his arms spinning into helicopter-like blades. SONIC SPLIT: Hold DwnBk (2 sec.) UpFwd + K Description: Andy leaps upward in arch-formation, feet-first. ENERGY WAVE: Dwn, DwnBk, Bk + P Description: Andy throws a small wave of energy at his opponent. Desperation Move: CHO REPPADAN: Hold Dwn (2 sec.) DwnFwd, Fwd + LK + HK Description: Andy does a Sonic Split surrounded in flames. -------------- JOE HIGASHI -------------- From: Thailand Storyline: Joe Higashi is a champion fighter in the art of Muay Thai. He enjoys fighting and is a bit of a show-off at it as well. He only wants to be the champion by defeating Geese Howard and Wolfgang Krauser. After F.F.2: Joe Higashi teams up with his friends the Bogard brothers to fight in the KoF tournaments. My opinion: Joe was very boring in the first few Fatal Furys. It was later when he gained that cocky personality and those humorous moves and stuff (not to mention his moon taunt in KoF '96 - '99) when he got more interesting. But his simple costume's the same, just boring. Special Moves: SLASH KICK: Hold DwnBk (2 sec.) UpFwd + K Description: Joe spins around and dashes forward with his legs outstretched. RAPID PUNCH: Tap P rapidly. Description: Joe does a standing barrage of punches. TIGER KICK: Dwn, DwnFwd, Fwd, UpFwd + K Description: Joe does a jumping knee, surrounded by flames. HURRICANE UPPER: Bk, DwnBk, Dwn, DwnFwd, Fwd + P Description: Joe throws a small tornado-like projectile. Desperation Move: SPIN UPPER: Dwn, DwnBk, Bk, DwnBk, Dwn, DwnFwd, Fwd + LK + HP Description: Joe throws a large, thin tornado-like projectile that doesn't go far, but does a lot of damage. ---------------- MAI SHIRANUI ---------------- From: Japan Storyline: Mai is a ninjitsu fighter trained exclusively by Jubei Yamada along with Andy Bogard. She and Andy became good friends, but she soon became obsessed, by way of a misunderstanding, that she was going to marry him. Andy denies this, but Mai continues to believe so. She fights to prove that she can be as powerful as any man. After F.F.2: Mai continues to wait for Andy's announcement, but not much happens. She remains optimistic, however, and teams up with other female fighters like King, Yuri Sakazaki, Kasumi Todo and Chizuru Kagura as an all-women's team in the KoF tournaments, and also joined Andy, Terry and Joe in KoF '99. She is, unknowingly, admired by Eiji Kisaragi (Art of Fighting 2, KoF '95) but nothing much happens between them. (I'm not sure how they relate to each other.) My opinion: Besides her eyebrow- (and other things)raising outfit, Mai does have more good points. Her moves are pretty useful and not too complicated, and her personality is nice. She gets a bit better in the later Fatal Furys and KoF, but she okay here, I think. Special Moves: FLAME SPIN: Dwn, DwnBk, Bk + P Description: Mai spins round and hits the opponent (if close enough) with a flaming fan. FAN THROW: Dwn, DwnFwd, Fwd + P Description: Mai throws her fan at her opponent. BEE STING: Bk, DwnBk, Dwn, DwnFwd, Fwd + K Description: Mai cartwheels forward and does a flying elbow. SQUIRREL ATTACK: Hold Dwn (2 sec.) Up + HP Description: Mai jumps over to the wall and then dives at her opponent. (Note: In her own stage, Mai will jump onto one of the staffs on the raft then dive at her opponent.) Desperation Move: CHO HISATSU SHINOBIBACHI: Fwd, DwnBk, Fwd + LK + HP Description: Mai does a Bee Sting, only this time her flying elbow is surrounded in flames. ------------ BIG BEAR ------------ From: Australia Storyline: Also known as Raiden, Big Bear is a henchman of Geese, determined to defeat Terry Bogard. After F.F.2: Big Bear somewhat disappeared after this game, but re- appeared in Capcom vs. SNK as his original persona, Raiden. He also appeared in the ill-fated 3D Fatal Fury game, Wild Ambition, also as Raiden. My opinion: I hate this guy. He's just so pathetic as a wrestler, and his outfits are dumb. His personality is humorous as Raiden, but as Big Bear, he's pathetic, simply pathetic. Special Moves: GIANT BOMB: Hold DwnBk (2 sec.) Fwd + P Description: Big Bear positions himself, saying "Ready!" then dashes forward and shoulder-rams his opponent. DROP KICK: Hold HK for 8 seconds. Description: Big Bear jumps up and hoverkicks his opponent BEAR BOMBER: Fwd, Dwn, Bk, Up + HP Description: Big Bear grabs the opponent and slams them back down with a small explosion. Desperation Move: FLAME BREATH: Fwd, DwnFwd, Dwn, DwnBk, Fwd + LK + HP Description: Big Bear exhales a cloud of fire. --------------- JUBEI YAMADA --------------- From: Japan Storyline: Jubei Yamada is an elderly and strong man who excels in the art of Judo. He trained Mai and Andy for a short time. He fights in the tournament to, well, basically to show off. He's also a pervert, according to five million sources. After F.F.2: Jubei Yamada disappeared after this game for some strange reason; which is a pity, because I'm sure he would've made a great addition to the Real Bout Fatal Fury series. But he disappeared anyway. (Sigh) My opinion: Seriously, I think he was worthy enough to stay on as a character in RBFF and so forth, but noooo. He's pretty cool as a Judo wrestler, even better than that boring old Goro Daimon from KoF. He's unique, fighting with cookies and that silly personality, but he should've at least had a better standing animation, he just stands there and doesn't move! SNK could've made him breathe or something! Special Moves: NIHON SEOI DASH: Hold Bk (2 sec.) Fwd + K Description: Jubei slides forward and if he reaches his opponent, he grabs them and slams them backwards. SENBE CUTTER: Hold Bk (2 sec.) Fwd + P Description: Jubei throws a cookie at his opponent. IZUNA GRAB: Hold Dwn (2 sec.) Up + P (Right next to opponent) Description: Jubei grabs his opponent, jumps up and then slams them down, upside-down. TWIST TRICK: Fwd, DwnFwd, Dwn, DwnBk, Bk + HP (Right next to opponent) Description: Jubei grabs his opponent, jumps up, and spins forward into the air, eventually slamming them onto the ground. Desperation Move: DYNAMITE IZUNA OTOSHI: Hold DwnBk (2 sec.) Dwn, DwnFwd + LK + HP (Right next to opponent) Description: Jubei does an Izuna Grab, but this time he slams them down with an explosion, causing much more damage. ---------------- CHENG SHINZAN ---------------- From: Hong Kong Storyline: Cheng Shinzan is a wealthy businessman who values money more than himself. Tired of hearing pestering about his health and his large belly, he enters the tournament to prove he's just as fit (and just as powerful) as anybody else. After F.F.2: Cheng Shinzan comes back in Real Bout Fatal Fury 2 and Special, basically with the same storyline. My opinion: well, he's not too bad. Much better in the later Fatal Furys, obviously. He's a bit stereotypical, with the belly flop move that he has, but he still has his good points. He's original, his moves aren't too bad, and his personality is amusing. Special Moves: KIRAI BLAST: Dwn, DwnFwd, Fwd + P Description: Cheng throws an energy ball at his opponent. BODY BLAST: Hold Dwn (2 sec.) Up + P Description: Cheng jumps into the air and, busting his shirt open, slams himself on his opponent. GROUND CANNON: Hold Bk (2 sec.) Fwd + K Description: Cheng powers himself up, then rolls forward strongly and knocks his opponent down if he comes into contact with them. Desperation Move: BAKURAI HOH: Hold DwnBk (2 sec.) Dwn, Fwd + LK + HP Description: Cheng throws a more energetic and bigger energy ball at his opponent. ---------------- KIM KAP HWAN ---------------- From: South Korea Storyline: Kim is a Tae Kwon Do champion. He is prideful over this achievement and is determined to become a hero. He detests evil, and is determined to destroy any he finds. After F.F.2: Kim basically becomes famous, and continues his crusade for good. He joins the KoF tournaments with two outlaws, Chang Koehan and Choi Bounge, who he takes into his home and begins an attempt to reform them into civil, honest beings. In KoF '99, his former training partner, friend, and probably now his rival, Jhun Hoon, joins his team when KoF starts have four-member teams. Jhun then agrees with Kim to take one of the two outlaws and see who can reform them. Jhun takes Chang, and Kim takes Choi. Then, in KoF 2001, (as you can see, a long amount of time has passed since I started this FAQ) Jhun gets into a car accident, and is replaced by a newbie to tae Kwon Do, a girl named Mei-Li. Also, Kim is in all the other Fatal Furies. The most recent Fatal Fury game, Garou: Mark of the Wolves, his two sons, Kim Dong-Hwan and Kim Jae-Hoon, replace him as the Korean fighters. Those two also appeared in an intro of Kim's from RBFFS, when they were young boys, not teens. Another member of Kim's family who's been in a fighting game was his brother, Kim Sue-il, who was in a not very well known game called Kizuna Encounter, also by SNK. Sue-il is Kim's special striker in KoF 2000. (Whew! Quite a history he has!) My opinion: Kim was pretty boring at the start, but he was the first of his kind. He was best in Capcom vs. SNK. His moves are original, and his personality gets better in every game. Anyway, now for the Special Moves: CRESCENT SLASH: Hold Dwn (2 sec.) Up + K Description: Kim does a rising back-flip kick. (Like Guile's flash kick in Street Fighter, know what I mean?) RAIN KICK: (In air) Dwn + HK Description: In the air, Kim dives down and does a bicycle kick on the opponents face. LEG DROP SLICE: Dwn, DwnBk, Bk + K Description: Kim flips his leg onto his opponent. Desperation Move: PHOENIX FLATTENER: Dwn, DwnBk, Bk, DwnBk, Dwn, DwnFwd, Fwd + K Description: Kim raises his leg, dashes towards the opponents, and does a mix of kicks and punches, ended by a Crescent Slash. -------------- DUCK KING -------------- From: U.S.A. Storyline: Duck King is an avid dancer that also likes fighting. Recently he took on Terry Bogard and lost. Now he buffs up his skills to take on Terry Bogard once more and this time beat him. After F.F.2: Duck King is in all the rest of the Fatal Furys, with pretty much the same storyline. He also appears many times in the backgrounds of Kings of Fighters. He was in the Fatal Fury Team's stage in KoF '94, the Women's stage in '95, and the China stage in '97. (I'm sure he's in '96, I'm still looking for him. If anyone knows, e-mail me.) After the last RB Fatal Fury, he's gone, probably retired or something. My opinion: This guy is nuts! His personality is pretty cool, and he's very original. His moves are weird, but they're original too. Special Moves: HEADSPIN ATTACK: Hold Bk (2 sec.) Fwd + P Description: Duck King rolls himself into a ball and launches himself at his opponent BREAK STORM: Dwn, DwnFwd, Fwd, UpFwd + K Description: Duck King jumps up in the air with his knee up. DANCING DIVE: Dwn, DwnBk, Bk + K Description: BEAT RUSH: Fwd, Bk, Fwd + HP Description: Duck King does a quick dancing Combo with some punches and a kick. BREAKDANCE VARIANT: Dwn + K Description: Duck King does a spinning break dance. It's not much different from his Bk + HK move. Desperation Move: BREAK SPIRAL: Bk, DwnBk, Dwn, DwnFwd, Fwd, UpFwd, Dwn + LK + HP (UNCONFIRMED) Description: This sequence didn't work for me, but GalFord sent it and it didn't work on either system nor emulator, but I'm bad with those commands anyway, so I'm keeping it here just in case. From what I've seen in later Fatal Furys, Duck King grabs his opponent, tosses them up into the air and does a multi-hit breakdance as they come down. -(NOTE: Could someone who has the manual or good controller/emulator-work please confirm the above sequence? Drop me a line.) -------------- TUNG FU RUE -------------- From: China Storyline: Tung Fu Rue is the master of Hakkyokuseiken. He was the teacher of Geese Howard, Jeff Bogard, and Terry Bogard. Tung, seeing the amazing progress of the two older students, Geese and Jeff (especially Jeff), decided to bestow upon them the honor of teaching one of them the secrets of Hakkyokuseiken. Tung decided on Jeff, because he sensed Geese's evil intentions. Geese found out, and in a rage, killed Jeff Bogard. Tung, being so wise, knew he was probably going to be hunted down by Geese, so he went into hiding deep in the mountains of China. If he were younger, he would've been able to destroy Geese, but since he was so old and frail, and Geese has such dark power, Tung had to hide. However, he was later found by Terry Bogard, the adopted son of Jeff Bogard, who begged Tung Fu Rue to teach him. Tung, seeing the fighting spirit, and benevolent aura in this young man, agreed, and taught him what Jeff Bogard didn't. When the first Fatal Fury tournament arrived, Terry joined his brother, Andy, and friend Joe in the tournament. Tung decided to challenge Terry to see how skilled he was, and to his amazement, was defeated by him. Later on, Tung learned that Geese Howard was defeated, and supposedly killed by Terry. Tung was overjoyed, and free from his self-exile. When the second Fatal Fury tournament arrived, Tung decided to join it, and challenge new fighters to see what other forms of self-defense others used. Imagine his surprise when he learned Geese was still alive! After F.F.2: Tung stays on a bit longer, and according to storyline, continued to train Terry Bogard, but died before he could've taught Terry the secrets of the martial art. Yes, it's true folks, Tung died. He died around the time that Geese did, in Real Bout Fatal Fury, which he wasn't in. However, he was in RBFF2 and RBFFS, so that's good. My opinion: Tung's original in a way. The way he makes himself bigger and that powerful close attack (Fwd + HP) are pretty cool. Some say he's a clone of Gen, but he developed into a different person later on. Special Moves: SEN-SHIPPO: Dwn, DwnBk, Bk + P Description: Tung lunges forward and strikes his opponent with his hand. GEKIHOU: Tap HP rapidly Description: Tung ducks down, and in a fit of strength, a giant man made out of energy rises out of him. Good as an anti-air move. THOUSAND-HIT KICK: Hold DwnBk (2 sec.) UpFwd + K, close to opponent Description: Tung jumps up to the opponents face, and kicks them repeatedly. SHOUHAI: Hold DwnBk (2 sec.) Fwd + P Description: Tung releases a fireball that doesn't go very far. Super Moves: SENPU-GOU-KEN: Fwd, DwnFwd, Dwn, Up + LK + HP Description: Tung rises into the air and spins around as shirt rips open and his arms grow large muscles. --------------- BILLY KANE --------------- From: England Storyline: Billy Kane is the bodyguard and top henchman of Geese. He seeks revenge from terry Bogard for defeating him and his boss in the first Fatal Fury tournament. After F.F.2: Billy Kane is featured in KoF '95, in the same team as Iori, and Eiji, still wanting revenge from Terry, but in the end, is defeated by Iori. He then comes back in '97, with a stylish new suit, in the same team as Blue Mary, and Yamazaki. He is there in '97 to investigate the Orochi phenomenon that is in Iori and as Billy later finds out, in Yamazaki. After that, in '97, when Billy reports to Geese, they are later mauled by Yamazaki, who demands pay for being in the '97 tournament. Billy is also in all other Fatal Furys, going through a costume change in some of them. My opinion: Billy is one of the coolest fighters in the SNK world. The way he fights is pretty cool, even for this game. In later games and in KoF, he was even better. He is definitely one of my favorites. His personality is pretty funny, and later on, it becomes even better. Definitely a great design. Special Moves: POLE NUDGE: Hold Bk (2 sec.) Fwd + P Description: Billy stretches his staff out and attempts to hit the opponent. POWER CLUB: Hold DwnBk (2 sec. UpFwd + P Description: Billy does the pole nudge, except up diagonally into the air. STAFF SPIN: Tap HP rapidly Description: Like the name implies, Billy spins his staff around. SPARROW DROP: DwnBk, Dwn, Dwn, Fwd + K Description: Billy vaults with his staff, and jumps high in the air, coming down with a spinning staff. Desperation Move: CHO-KAEN SENPU-KON: Dwn, DwnFwd, Fwd, DwnFwd, Dwn, DwnBk, Bk, UpBk + LP + HP Description: Billy spins his staff, which has flames around it, around rapidly, then throws a ring of fire at his opponent. However, the ring does not go far, but does a lot of damage. ------------- AXEL HAWK ------------- From: U.S.A. Storyline: This simple-minded, but powerful boxer works for Wolfgang Krauser. He was hired to join the tournament and try to get rid of the Bogard brothers. Of course, he failed. After F.F.2: He just disappeared. He was only in F.F.2 and this game. That's it. According to another source, he was actually tricked into the tournament, and is actually a good-hearted soul with no evil intentions. My opinion: I don't think he was all that original. I kind of see him as SNK's rip-off of Street Fighter's Balrog. (M. Bison in Japan.) Special Moves: TORNADO UPPER: Dwn, DwnFwd, Fwd + P Description: Axel throws a mini tornado at his opponent. SMASH BOMBER: Hold DwnBk (2 sec.) F + P Description: Axel dashes a short distance, performing a swift uppercut. BOXER'S BARRAGE : Tap P rapidly Description : Axel does a quick three-punch medley. Desperation Move: AXEL DANCE: Bk, Fwd, DwnFwd, Dwn, DwnBk, UpFwd + LK + HP Description: Axel slides across the screen and does a barrage of punches. ----------------- LAURENCE BLOOD ----------------- From: Spain Storyline: The right hand-man of Wolfgang Krauser, and a vicious and arrogant bullfighter with a wicked sword, Laurence is there to prove his deadliness with any fighters that go as far in the tournament as he, for he is the last challenger before Krauser himself! (FF2, because Geese is after him in FFS.) After F.F.2: Krauser appeared in Real Bout Fatal Fury 2 and RBFF Special, which actually have no connection to the Fatal Fury storyline. So, technically, he disappears altogether. My opinion: Laurence is an interesting fighter in my opinion, but when you think about it, FFS is kinda similar to Street Fighter 2, by looking at the last four bosses. First we have a boxer, (Axel Hawk = Balrog), a Spanish guy who is vain and has a deadly weapon (Laurence = Vega), a guy who was the boss of the first game in the series (Geese = Sagat), and a guy with deadly power (Krauser = M. Bison). So Laurence may not be completely original. But I think he's still interesting. Special Moves: SABRE DASH: Bk, DwnBk, Dwn, DwnFwd, Fwd + P Description: Laurence dashes forward with his sword out and stabs the opponent. Ouch! BLOODY SPIRAL: Hold Bk (2 sec.) Fwd + K Description: Laurence does a move, similar to M. Bison's psycho crusher, but without the aura. He spins horizontally in mid-air. RED ASSAULT: Hold Dwn (2 sec.) Up + HP Description: Laurence leaps up into the air, upside down, and with his cape hanging down and attacks his opponent's head. Desperation Move: BLOODY FLASH: DwnFwd, Bk, DwnBk, Dwn, DwnFwd, Fwd, DwnBk, Fwd + LP/HP or LK/HP. (UNCONFIRMED) Description: Um, according to Real Bout Fatal Fury Special, Laurence does a series of Sword Slashes at his opponent. -(Note: GalFord has sent me info regarding the missing moves, but they aren't working for me, except the Bear Bomber. But I've tried this sequence on both the SNES and the Emulator and it doesn't work. Could someone who has the manual or good work with hands confirm this sequence then send me an e- mail? Thank you) ----------------- GEESE HOWARD ----------------- From: USA Storyline: Geese is the powerful, power-hungry, evil crime-lord of Southtown. He is well-learned in many forms of martial arts including Hakkyokuseiken, Aikido, and Kobujutsu. He learned hakkyokuseiken from Tung Fu Rue and was at the top of his class, along with a man named Jeff Bogard. When the time came for Tung to choose who he wanted to teach the secrets of hakkyokuseiken to, it was no surprise he chose Jeff, because Geese's evil intentions were apparent. When Geese learned of this, he was enraged, he hunted Jeff down and stabbed him in a cowardly manner, instead of challenging him to a death-match! He then sought out Tung, but by then the old man had hid himself. Geese, through dirty deals and battles with gangs, soon gained control of his hometown of Southtown, and made it a living hell. He hosted the first Fatal Fury tournament (or Sultan of Slugs tournament) out of boredom, and was surprised to find out that Jeff Bogard's two adopted sons were competing! He was later "killed" by Terry Bogard when he was Power Geyser-ed out of his skyscraper window. But he cheated death... After F.F.2: Geese keeps a low profile for a while, even during the main Fatal Fury 3 tournament, but comes back in the very end, to steal the Sacred Scrolls of Immortality from the Jin twins. He postpones using their power by seeking the Orochi power, by entering KoF '96 with Krauser and Art of Fighting boss Mr. Big. He later tries to get it from the dark Iori Yagami by sending Billy, the wily gangster Yamazaki, and the secret agent Blue Mary in KoF '97. But finally, in the Real Bout Fatal Fury tournament, he is once again knocked out of his tower by Terry Bogard, but when Terry tries to save him at the last second, he rejects his help and falls to his death, and this time lets death claim him. However, his last gift to Terry Bogard is Rock Howard, his orphaned son, who may seem good at first, but his inner emotions that he inherited from his father seem to lead him astray. My opinion: Whoo, I typed a lot! I think Geese is so cool. His personality is so bitter and arrogant, and his fighting style rocks. His Raising storm gets better and better in every game. In Capcom vs. SNK, he was the best he ever was. He is definitely one of the best bosses in the history of SNK. Special Moves: REPPUKEN: Dwn, DwnFwd, Fwd + LP Description: Geese throws a ground wave. DOUBLE REPPUKEN: Dwn, DwnFwd, Fwd + HP Description: Geese throws a reppuken, but adds another reppuken to it, making it bigger and twice as powerful. SHIPPUKEN: (In air) Dwn, DwnBk, Bk + P Description: Geese throws a energy ball at his opponent from the air. ATEMINAGE: (Counter) Bk, DwnBk, Dwn, DwnFwd, Fwd, UpFwd + K Description: This must be done quickly just before the opponent attacks you. Geese will grab his opponent, and throw them over his shoulder onto the ground. A pretty cool move. Desperation Move: RAISING STORM: DwnBk, Fwd, DwnFwd, Dwn, DwnBk, Bk, DwnFwd + LK + HP Description: Geese slams his hands onto the floor as a cage of energy spikes surround him. Good against jumping and dashing opponents. Really cool move, if you can pull it off in time. ------------------- WOLFGANG KRAUSER ------------------- From: Germany Storyline: Krauser is the heir to a powerful bloodline known as the Strolheim bloodline. His wealth is enormous and his appearance kingly. After hearing of his half-brother Geese's death at the hands of a young but determined fighter, Krauser hosts the second Sultan of Slugs tournament to find him. After F.F.2: Krauser, according to storyline, simply lost to Bogard and shrugged it off after a while of sore loss. But he returned in KoF '96, along with Geese and AoF boss Mr. Big. But in that tournament he was used by Geese to get the Orochi power. After that, Krauser doesn't appear in any other storyline-related game. He was again the boss of Real Bout Fatal Fury 2/Special, for the Neo-Geo. My opinion: Krauser was the best he ever was in RBFFS. He was pathetic in '96 and in this game. He's simply not evil enough, even though he looks the part in the intro to RBFFS. His moves are awkward and you can't even tell if he's supposed to be a wrestler or not. I think he just looks cool with that armor on. So I'm not too crazy about him. Special Moves: HIGH BLITZ BALL: Dwn, DwnBk, Bk + P Description: Krauser throws a fireball. LOW BLITZ BALL: Dwn, DwnBk, Bk + K Description: Krauser throws a fireball, but obviously lower than the High Blitz ball. TOMAHAWK KICK: Dwn, DwnFwd, Fwd + K Description: Krauser does some weird scissor kick side-flip. ATEMINAGE: Bk, DwnBk, Dwn, DwnFwd, Fwd, UpFwd + P Description: Yes, Krauser has this move too. Remember, just before your opponent attacks, pull of this move. Krauser will counter his opponent by grabbing them, walking forward a bit, then slamming them into the ground. Desperation Move: KAISER WAVE: Hold Bk (2 sec.) UpFwd + LP + HP Description: The easiest super move to pull off in the game, Krauser stands tall and proud with his hands spread out and some weird energy glow at his head, then throws a gigantic fireball at his opponent. ------------------------------------ RYO SAKAZAKI from ART OF FIGHTING (Hidden Character) ------------------------------------ From: Japan Storyline: Ryo doesn't have a single thing to do with this game. He's just in it to excite fans. All he did in Art of Fighting was, with his friend Robert, save his sister Yuri from Mr. Big and Geese. After F.F.S: Ryo was in every Art of Fighting game, every King of Fighters game, and this Fatal Fury game. So he has been in the mighty three SNK fighting games! The only other character to have been in all three was Geese. Ryo was also in Capcom vs. SNK. My opinion: Ryo's pretty boring, you can just tell he was a rip-off of Ryu and Ken. Orange gi and short blond hair, not to mention similar moves, besides the Zanretsu-Ken. He's better than Dan, in my opinion. Special Moves: KOH-KEN: Dwn, DwnFwd, Fwd + P Description: Ryo throws a fireball. KOHOH: Fwd, Dwn, DwnFwd + P Description: Ryo does an air uppercut similar to Ken/Ryu's shoryuken, but instead of pointing his fist straight up in the air, he folds his elbow behind his back. ZANRETSU-KEN: Tap HP rapidly Description: Ryo does a barrage of punches in place. HIEN-SHIPPUU-KYAKU: Hold DB (2 sec.) F + K Description: Ryo does a flying leg kick, his foot wrapped in energy, and then does a mid-air roundhouse. Super Move: RYUKO RANBO: Dwn, DwnBk, Bk, DwnBk, Dwn, DwnFwd, Fwd + LK + HK Description: Ryo does a series of punches and kicks, and finishes of with a Kohoh uppercut. -(NOTE: This is unblockable, that's what makes it such a special move to use in battle.
