Terry Bogard

Terry Bogard: FF Mark of the Wolves

Terry Bogard (テリー・ボガード) is a video game character created by SNK, and is the main character of the Fatal Fury series. For a short time, he was also the mascot of SNK. He is often pictured either in his traditional outfit, or his Garou outfit, the former consisting of a red and white ball-cap, a red sleeveless jacket with a white star on the back, white shirt, blue jeans, and a pair of what appear to be Chuck Taylor All-Stars. The latter consists of a brown jacket with a white star on the back, as well as a white shirt and blue jeans. The front of his cap displays either the Fatal Fury logo (in the King of Fighters series) or the King of Fighters logo (in the Fatal Fury series). In the animated films, his cap has no logo, but is instead replaced by a large metal plate.

Terry Bogard is the adoptive brother of Andy Bogard, and is often referred to as the Legendary Hungry Wolf (from Garou Densetsu, meaning Legend of the Hungry Wolf). He has a pet monkey named Ukee (who was the previous mascot of SNK before Terry). His voice is provided by Satoshi Hashimoto in the various games he has appeared in.

Special Techniques

Crack Shot: Terry performs a forward somersault extending his right leg forward doing the process and is used as a hammering technique usually aimed at his opponents head which hits with the heel of the foot.

Rising Tackle: Terry performs this move to counter aerial combatants and those who like to jump. As he sees his opponent leaping towards him, he leaps to meet his opponent in the air. Only thing he inverts his body, while using his chi and his natural strength to create an inverted whirlwind-type of attack as he spins himself furiously while extending his hands. This technique can knock his opponents even higher and causing them to fall from great heights. He can also do this technique from a crouching position unto an unsuspecting opponent who foolishly tries to attack him while he's on his knees.

Burn Knuckle: This technique is Terry's trademark techniques. He concentrates his chi to surround his fist like a glove. The chi around his hand drags him forward at blinding speeds and hits his opponents with pin-point precision and accuracy. The concussive force of this blow is not known, but it can easily knock large cars and trucks over on their sides, and knock large holes through brick walls with ease.

Power Wave: Terry's other trademark technique, this move is performed when Terry strikes the ground with such impact, implanting his chi into the ground, the ground is set ablaze with Terry's chi like a wave of water. This energy wave is around 7 feet wide and about 8 feet high. The wave produces temperatures up to 600 degrees Fahrenheit while the front of the wave packs a concussive force of up to 1500lbs per square inch, and travels up to 250 feet. A very devastating attack. Another version of this moves is called a Round wave, which doesn't travel at all but is used as a counter to a charging opponent.

Senpuu Ken: {Japanese, Whirlwind Fist}

Hadou Senpuu Kyaku: {Japanese, Surge Whirlwind Kick}

Power Geyser: This technique is one of Terry's most powerful moves. This technique, which is similar to the Power Wave, is more of a close-ranged attack but is much more powerful. Terry thrust his fist to the groung with such impact and force strong enough to create a small crater, his chi travels from his hands to the ground creating a radius of expolosive energy around him. This energy projected from the ground upward and outward within a 150 feet radius with a concussive force of up to 2000lbs per square inch, and temperature setting of a 1000 degrees Fahrenheit, knocking his opponents higher and farther than they'd want to go often ending the match. This is the move he defeated Krauser with. This is a desperation move and once done, he cannot repeat it for hours or even days and leaves him physically and mentally drained.

High Angle Gyser: Another one of Terry's most powerful attacks. A Power Charge, followed by a Power Dunk, and a Power Gyser.

Buster Wolf: This is Terry's most powerful technique. This move is done within absolute desperation. This technique is exactly the same as the Burning Knuckle technique, but done with much greater force. The energy glove around his hand at the time of impact is 10X bigger than normal, and is assumed 8 to 10 times more powerful. A very devastating technique, and one Terry wishes to never use unless the need for it is an absolute certainty. This move physically and mentally drains him of nearly all his chi and his strength. Once done, he cannot perform the move again for days or even weeks at a time.

Power Charge: a devastating Shoulder barge, usually follwed by a either a 3-hit combination or a Power dunk.

Fire Kick: Terry Slide kick into his opponent, upon contact, he then follows up with a spinning kick sending the opponent flying and creating opportunities for juggling combos.

Power Dunk: Terry knocks his opponent up in the air with jumping right knee thrust, and while his opponent is stunned in mid-air from the initial blow, Terry cranks his right hand back and performs a downward thrusting Burning Knuckle knocking his opponents down to the ground with ferocious force. He also uses this move to counter aerial combatants in mid-air also as well.

Rising force: similar move to Rock Howard's Shining knuckle, the Rising tackle inflicts more damage.

Rising Beat (in SVC CHAOS): virtually similar to Geese's Deadly Rave in execution, but Terry uses a Buster Wolf as a finishing blow.

Power Stream: Terry jumps in mid-air and punches the ground, releasing a huge amount of energy around him with is used to devastate opponents.

Background

Terry Bogard FF Series

Terry's life evolves around two fighters in the Fatal Fury universe: Geese Howard and Rock Howard.

The Geese Howard Era

Terry hails from the fictitious town of South Town, USA (a setting for many SNK games), and is the adoptive son of Jeff Bogard. During childhood, he saw his father killed at the hands of Geese Howard. On the advice of mentor Tung Fu Rue, he chose to pursue his revenge at a later time. Unlike his brother, he chose to stay in South Town, learning the unique South Town style of street fighting, as well as the Hakkyokusaiken style taught to him from time to time.

Many years later, the crime lord Geese Howard organized a tournament, The King of Fighters, that battle that followed would eventually see Geese defeated and thrown off the top of Geese Tower, a tall tower in South Town. For a while, it was thought that Geese was killed. The next year saw Geese's half-brother, Wolfgang Krauser, take control of The King of Fighters, which ended up with Terry being ultimately defeated by Krauser, only to win in a rematch.

When it was found out that Geese had survived the fall, Terry learned of Geese's intentions to retrieve the legendary Jin scrolls, Terry had to go and defeat him once again. In a rematch of what had happened the previous time Terry and Geese had battled, Terry knocked Geese off the edge of Geese Tower, but Terry held his hand and tried to keep Geese from falling. That was not to be as Geese let go of Terry, plummetting to his permanent death. Immediately after Geese took his own life away, Terry found a young boy named Rock Howard. To avoid history repeating itself, Terry took Rock and raised the child as his own, thus allowing himself to make amends for the next ten years.

The Rock Howard Era

Since then, several catalystic events happened. Southtown was destroyed in the year 2000 (during the King of Fighters 2000 Tournament) by NESTS Syndicate Agent Zero (The Clone Zero) via a satellite weapon called "Zero Cannon." Second South Town rose from the ashes from the original South Town, but even though Second South enjoyed a comeback, the tranquility of Second South Town has been eclipsed by the next-generation Crime Lord, Kain R. Heinlein.

About 7-8 years after the tragic events in King of Fighters 2000, Maximum Mayhem (hosted and sponsored by Kain R. Heinlein) would go under way, and Terry and Rock were invited to take part of the tournament. Both Terry and Rock entered the tournament to settle their pasts once and for all.

Although Terry and Rock were to face off against each other in the finals, Grant (a.k.a. The Martyr of Might) approached the two by surprise. Terry told Rock that now would not be a good time to square off against each other since he had to fight Grant. Although Terry was victorious against Grant, he was too exhausted to proceed, forcing Rock to succeed Terry's place in the final minutes of Maximum Mayhem. As Grant started to pass away due to excessive might, Grant ordered Rock to go to Kain's mansion to learn more about his past. Terry became nothing but a spectator as Rock eventually made defeated Kain with a version of Geese's Deadly Rave.

Approaching the crumpled mansion, Terry finds out that Rock is now Kain's partner, and knows that he must trust Rock's decision to stick with Kain for a while. Terry then leaves the vicinity knowing that Rock has finally left his den. Terry eventually finds Kevin Rian's partner, Marky, a moment after losing Rock to Kain. Realizing his failure, Terry then lived the life of a lonely wolf once again. Time will only tell whether or not Terry will find another cub to raise.
