This was good, I've always loved the SNK characters over Capcom's fighter characters.. SNK fighter characters, were not only more stylish, but felt much deeper, like you really wanted to know them. It all made sense, when I later read stuff from designers, who stated that they treated their characters like real people. This was a huge inspiration for me, in creating characters for a beat-em-up game, which will share the same world as the fighting game.

So that's why Terry didn't have his hat in Garou... Loved the comedy skits you added here with Terry and Blue Mary's mature conversation and kicking Mai off the team (which is pretty relevant to what happened to her in Smash lol). If I can make a suggestion for future character lore videos, try to end the video summarizing the character and what may become of them in the future. The last words you said about K' in his video was probably the best way to conclude the video, so if you can somehow end future character lore videos like that, it would give a lasting impression to viewers about the character.

Terry has long been one of my favorite characters, but even I learned a few things from this video that I wasn't fully aware of (trying to get a hold of all the games for the full story is difficult). One thing that a lot of people fail to recall about Terry is that he is a masterful craftsman in the art of Trash Talk. While cheerful and carefree and an all-around good guy, Terry is not above using psychological means to get under his opponents skin to throw off their groove while keeping a level head in the process. This is demonstrated most clearly in the intro snippets between characters in KOF XIII. Most notably against Ash Crimson, who often chastises, derides, or insults other fighters with an air of superiority and confidence. Terry is the only character who manages to turn it around on him and get him angry. It's all just fluff though. Terry (usually) doesn't mean anything by it, and is quick to patch up any hurt feelings after the bout. He's a real class act, but he's also very human. He's never held a stable job or has any true career goals. He'll often abuse Mary's fondness for him (though he's careful not to overdo it). He likes to overeat and knows how to be lazy, but he also loves the thrill of a good fight. The whole reason I want a new Fatal Fury game as opposed to a new KOF game is because I want to see Terry shine again. KOF has its own heroes and villains, and Terry, being the star of a different series, isn't ever given a prominent role. Fatal Fury endings as of late have all been about how single Joe is and are more or less irrelevant. I'd like to see the story of the Hungry Wolf pushed a little further once again.

[@ShoryuGame]

I agree with all what you said. I would be even cooler if they make Terry more relevant to the KOF timeline (just like how they did with Kim and Yamazaki).

[@briannawilson8845]

Well-said. I thought after seeing his render in Smash he was going to be another cocky, annoying show-offy character, but upon looking him up and reading more about him, there's actually a lot of heart to him, which I would never expect. Ken is the same way, acts cocky but is really a nice guy.

[@Ticketman99]

Don't know if Terry would be a primary focus for a Fatal Fury game again because that's Rock Howard's role now. I would LOVE to see Terry vs Mr. Karate 2 in a MOTW 2 though.

[@doomvictor3934]

EXACTLY it's about TIME Terry shined again as a proper Hero. I want to see another Fatal Fury game where he had the importance that made his character to begin with. He has been in "KOF Prison" too long. Regarding Rock-he is cool but he isn't Terry.

[@jinthekingkazama1159]

​@@Ticketman99Technically, even though Rock is the new protagonist, Terry is still a protagonist in current Fatal Fury. That's one of the reasons why he's in Mark of the Wolves and City of the Wolves, the second reason being that he is too popular to remove from the roster, and the last one... is because he enjoys fighting that damn much.

[@Kusanagikaiser999]

But in all seriousness - thank you so much for this video! I am a 90's kid and I love Smash, but before his Smash announcement I didn't even know that Fatal Fury/The King of Fighters existed (illness called "Nintendo fanboy blindness"). But the more I researched and found out about him, his and other SNK franchises, the more I started to like him (and Mai...and Yuri). In the end, I'm glad that such a historically important character is in and that Sakurai, his team and Nintendo think about people outside of Japan, USA and Europe. Now I have a good grasp about the lure of Fatal Fury and The King of Fighters too, thanks to your video!

@@VixXstazosJOB Tbh idk. Maybe not enough marketing/mouth-to-mouth propaganda? Maybe video games not being mainstream/accepted enough during SNKs glory days in my region? Maybe magazines not talking enough about them in the late 90s? I was born in 1992 (Central Europe) and the first video game things I remember are the N64, GB and PS1. After that, it was all about Nintendo, Sega, Sony and Microsoft. Thank God for the re-releases though, otherwise some series probably would've been completely forgotten over the time. Luckily, SNK seems to be one of the best non-console-producing company to keep their old IPs alive with re-releases and/or new entries (atleast from what I can tell). I only wish that more companies would've released their Wii VC games on disc (maybe it was hard to negotiate with Nintendo about that?). Can't help but imagine SNK Arcade Classics Vol. 2 with later (and seemingly better versions) of KoF, Fatal Fury, Samurai Shodown and more...

​@@johndewberryiii9925 ​ Yup, can't deny that I haven't been living under a rock xD Now that you mention it...I think the first time I heard about Street Fighter was when a friend wanted me to download SF2T on the Wii - which I did (just for him)...and then he literally played it only on this day xD Wasted 800 Wii points for nothing lol. (He is a SF Fan tho). Next thing I remember was SF4 which this friend was extremely hyped about (if I remember corretly) - and another one played and praised the game aswell. Even tho I suck badly at Fighting Games like Fatal Fury and Samurai Shodown (had to rage-quit after failing the 6th (FF) & 4th level (SS) a few times on Normal difficulty (SNK difficulty 3)) I really came to appreciate what SNK has created. I can already list more characters from SNK series than SF that I like design-wise off the top of my head (Terry Bogard, Mai Shiranui, Yuri Sakazaki, Nakoruru, Haohmaru, Athena Asamiya, just to name a few). Yes, they look simple and - in a world and time with overdesigned characters - sometimes even a little bit too stereotypical. But hey, I love me some easy recognizable characters with rememberable personalities :D Also kudos to SNK for not making different versions of one game like Capcom (Turbo, Super, Ultra, Hyper) but rather attempting different gameplay styles and ideas (Fatal Fury, Art of Fighting, The King of Fighters, Samurai Shodown, King of the Monsters).

Let me say thank you for spending time and effort in composing this video, even for me i knew that this lore with take so long to complete because Terry has a very rich story but you were still able to create an in-depth and well detailed lore video of him, i'm totally impressed!, You did a very good job, me and Terry are hats off to you and "OKAY!". Please never stop making these very passionate videos and continue sharing your love for these stuff, again thank you. P.S. i know this already too much but may i ask if, are you still going to do a lore video of Benimaru Nikaido?, I just want to give justice to him because in every KOF saga he always has a big role in every saga but his always set aside and often forgotten as an important character, even though Terry's lore video is enough for me but i still find myself unsatisfied because until now, i still haven't seen a complete video about Benimaru Nikaido or how important he is in every KOF story, I just wish someone would do a lore video about him or even a tribute, but it's ok if it's too much for i understand but if you do, don't worry i will still patiently wait for it just like how i waited for Terry's video, so don't pressure yourself, "OKAY".

As I know Terry won against Rock and instead of fighting Kain he fought Grant at the last stage since Terry comments he took more beatings from larger guys like him, while Rock went to Kain why Terry's ending he was searching for him, but both endings connect to each other and have the same ends, you can go with Rock or Terry winning the fight and at the end Rock still leaving and probably returning in a villain role or reconciling with Terry.

[@DouglasStewart99]

9:11-9:33 Okay that part was amazing. 23:53-23:58 too. Also what timing Shoryu, I was just playing Terry's classic mode in Ultimate when I got notified by this. Terry Bogard is one of the reasons why in fighting games I care for the lore and characters a lot. Terry is one of the most recognizable fighting game character for me not just because he's fun to play, but because of his charm and really interesting story about his life. Now I know that when people mostly get into a fighting game it's mostly for, you know, the "fighting" portion. However Terry is one of the biggest examples of what happens when a company actually cares about their characters and gives them growth, purpose and desires. I swear the only two companies I can think that actually really care for their story and characters along with the gameplay and do it fairly well in my eyes are SNK and Arc System Works.

If that were to happen... I have a crazy idea of what's gonna happen. Instead of playing as Terry and fight Rock as the boss, you play as Rock, and you have to beat Terry, who is quite tough... but as the battle keeps going on, Rock becomes so powerful that he even manages to overwhelm Terry at the end of the battle. And... Rock actually defeats Terry, but before he delivers the finishing blow, he remembers how Terry raised him, and got back his self-control. He apologized to Terry and then they would proceed forward what will happen next. Now, I know this won't happen, because Rock is supposed to be a hero, and some fans wouldn't like Terry losing, but I think it would be cool.

@@corpsedesecrator2612 FACT: Tung Fu Rue and Jubei Yamada were both based on Master Roshi from Dragon Ball. While Tung Fu Rue had the ability to use ki and transform into a more muscular version of himself, Jubei had Roshi's perverted nature. Also one trained Terry while the other trained Andy.

Krauser has the tornado move in the Real Bout games, a nod to him stealing it from Terry in the movies

@@VOAN Correction: Andy trained under Hanzo Shiranui. It's how Andy met Mai(who's Hanzo's granddaughter). Mai was trained under Jubei Yamada because Hanzo was focusing on Andy...which is kinda dumb because Hanzo's Mai's grandpa and Jubei's a pervert who(obviously)was checking Mai out lecherously🤷

Terry is my favorite fighting game lead protagonist. Very different compared to other leads in fighting games by not being Asian (though it's rumored that Terry is a decent of Haohmaru), not a sole karateka or kenpo practitioner, and was more of an early Mixed Martial Artist. I think SNK must've made some retcons since the 1999 regarding Garou Densetsu/Fatal Fury 3 & Real Bout because Geese defeated Terry in there second battle and was so powerful after collecting the scrolls that it took him and Andy to fight Geese but Terry gave Geese the final blow. Geese thought the power of the scrolls would save him but the Jin brothers got the scrolls back and performed an enchantment that took the power away from Geese. Hence why he didn't survive. Again that's how I remembered reading things back in 1999. Can't wait for your next KOF (SNK) Lore video.

I've been playing all of these games since the 90's and I somehow never realized that Fatal Fury and King of Fighters were not the same timeline.

Very informative video, thank you for making these videos!

This was a great summary of Terry's history for people like me. I'm not too familiar with The King of Fighters series or SNK, so I'm pretty much discovering a whole new universe of games. I'll have to play one of them at some point when I have the time and money, and since it's almost Christmas time I'll soon have plenty of both.

Nice video, and Terry is by far my favorite SNK character and has probably the best story of anyone in SNK lore. I am glad he is getting more promotion in crossovers than Kyo and Iori, as he is by far more interesting than them both. Seeing him appear in Fighting EX Layer and then being announced for Super Smash Brothers brought a smile to my face.

Yes he has extraordinary skills, but like Rock Lee, Baki hanma or even Goku, Terry earned every bit of his skill and strength.

Terry was always better than the arrogant kid Kyo. Kof was just a failed attempt from snk to find a relatable protagonist for the emo kids of late but they saw Hoe much important terry was/is and i hope that he gets his own kof arc as well. Terry will be forever Snk's mascot.

[@Ticketman99]

KOF was first and foremost a crossover fighting game...then by '95 they made most of the canon story about Kyo and Iori🤷 I don't mind because Terry's story ended at Real Bout and the only way forward now is to see his role as Rock Howard's mentor, which ties into getting to see Rock develop as a character.

[@Ticketman99]

@arbereshe Because CvS/SvC was billed as basically KOF vs SF, and Kyo's the protagonist of the KOF games(his endings are(mostly)the canon ones). Would've been interesting if it were FF vs SF instead. Imagine the rival pairings(some are more than pairings): Terry/Ken(fun loving Americans), Andy/Ryu(dead serious Japanese), Mai/Chun Li(leading ladies), Rock/Sean/Marco(the legacy), John/Kevin/Guile(military), King/Joe/Hwa/Adon/Sagat(kickboxers), Zangief/Jack/Raiden(wrestlers), Mickey/Axel/Balrog(boxers), Lawrence/Vega(extravagant Spaniards), Hon-Fu/Feilong(Jackie Chan vs Bruce Lee), Geese/Kain/M. Bison(crimelords), Mr. Karate/Gouken(founding karate senseis), Mr. Karate 2/Grant/Akuma(ultimate fighting masters)...I added Art Of Fighting characters because AOF is part of FF canon. Also, and I don't mean to be rude or anything, but the argument for Terry being the absolute main character of team KOF is like pushing for Ryu Hayabusa to be the absolute main character of Dead Or Alive, even though Hayabusa is from Ninja Gaiden(like how Terry's from Fatal Fury). Oh shit...imagine Hayabusa in Smash...

[@doomvictor3934]

It was still BULLSHIT in my personal opinion. Yes KOF is SNK'S flagship series, but Terry should have represented for SNK going against Ryu and Capcom. I remember fans were debating Terry vs Ryu in their anime version's, and also at the Time of Super Street Fighter 2 and Fatal Fury Special. Plus Terry and Ryu have more in common then Ryu and Kyo.
