Terry Bogard’s Background
For those unfamiliar with Terry, he is a cornerstone of SNK’s Fatal Fury and King of Fighters franchises. Renowned for his signature red cap and red jacket, Terry embodies the quintessential Japanese interpretation of an American fighter. He’s also affectionately known as ‘The Legendary Wolf’ for his unparalleled fighting prowess and kind heart.
In Fatal Fury, Terry’s storyline revolves around avenging his adoptive father, Jeff Bogard, by defeating Geese Howard. He is joined in his quest by his younger brother Andy Bogard, making them one of the most formidable sibling duos in fighting game history.
Introducing His Special Move: Burn Knuckle
Now, onto the heart of the excitement: Terry Bogard’s special move in Street Fighter 6. Fans of the franchise will be thrilled to know that Terry’s distinctive Burn Knuckle/Quick Burn move has been faithfully recreated for his debut in this game.
In the teaser, Terry is seen executing this move with his classic finesse. The Burn Knuckle involves Terry charging his energy into a powerful punch that covers considerable distance, catching opponents off-guard. This move has been a staple of Terry’s fighting style since his debut, and its inclusion in Street Fighter 6 is both nostalgic and exhilarating.
Gameplay Modes and Availability
Terry Bogard will be available across various gameplay modes: World Tour, Battle Hub, and Fighting Ground. Gamers can start testing his skills and mastering his moves starting autumn 2024. This addition is part of Street Fighter 6 Season 2, which continues to expand the game’s diverse roster.
Moreover, Terry’s entry signifies the third cross-franchise character in the Street Fighter 6 universe. Mai Shiranui, another favorite from Fatal Fury, is set to join in winter 2025, followed by Elena from Street Fighter in spring 2025. These additions aim to keep the gameplay fresh and exciting for both new and seasoned players.
Why Terry Bogard is a Big Deal?
Terry has been a part of every Fatal Fury and King of Fighters game, and he has also made guest appearances in titles such as Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Fighting EX Layer, and the Capcom vs. SNK series. His introduction to Street Fighter 6 is a tribute to his enduring popularity and a delight to fans who have followed his journey across multiple games.
Besides his fighting skills, Terry’s character has always embodied a sense of loyalty and determination. He may sport a rugged exterior, but at heart, he is a protector and a warrior of justice. His pet monkey Ukee is often seen by his side, adding a touch of light-heartedness to his otherwise intense persona.
What’s Next?
