Geese Howard is the chief antagonist of the Fatal Fury series, who acts as an arch-enemy to Terry Bogard.
Overview[]
When summoned into the battle, Geese will spawn on-stage, with his back facing at the camera, and then tosses his white kimono away while doing a "Come on!" gesture.
He will run around and attempt to attack opponents with slow, yet powerful martial arts attacks (even jumping kicks). He can also perform various of his iconic special moves as well, such as:
- Reppuken: When far away from opponents, Geese will swipe his hand upwards, creating a wind blade-like chi projectile that travels forward on the ground, akin to his rival, Terry Bogard's Power Wave. (7%)
- Double Reppuken: Similarly to the previous attack, Geese will quickly create the first Reppuken which stays in-front of him, before performing a technique again to create a slightly larger energy projectile, that does more damage (exactly said, double the normal Reppuken's) and also cancels any projectiles shot at him. (14%)
- Shippuken: Geese jumps into the air and shoots a blue-colored energy fireball from his hands at a diagonally downwards angle, flying fast towards the ground and pushing himself a bit upon firing. (8.7%)
- Jōdan/Chūdan Atemi Nage: When an opponent attempts to attack Geese with a physical melee attack in-front of him, he will quickly counter by grabbing them and then slams them onto the ground behind him, shouting "Predictable!" while doing so. Works especially if an opponent dodges a Reppuken by jumping over it and tries to follow up by attacking him from above. (16%)
- Raging Storm: When his time is nearly complete (he'll perform this attack only once if so) or he's close to be KO'd (no matter the time, like how Desperation Moves work in SNK's games), Geese will cross his chi-covered hands and shout out "RAGING STORM!", as he slams both of them into the ground, creating huge spiked energy beams around him. (28%)
Once he's about to leave, Geese will cross his arms as he menacingly looks in-front of him and says "Stay down, maggot.", similarly to his victory pose in Tekken 7, before vanishing off-stage.
Origin[]
TBA
In Super Smash Bros. Infinite, Geese's behavior as an Assist Trophy is inspired by how his strategies work in the final boss fight from Fatal Fury: King of Fighters and when a player faces him in Fatal Fury Special, like how Guile's behavior references the playstyle of Guile players in the Street Fighter games.
This also inspired his status as one of the hardest Assist Trophies to defeat, similarly to his popularity as one of the earliest bosses, who started the infamous "SNK Boss Syndrome" trend.
