SNK is continuing its new tradition of announcing 15 new King of Fighters characters every week with Yuri Sakazaki previously joining the ranks while sporting his longer hair once again.
This week’s big reveal goes to none other than Terry Bogard himself, looking sharper than perhaps before, while offering the greatest amount of KOF15 gameplay to date with an extended trailer.
The SNK poster boy was almost a shoe for a cast, so his arrival now is no big surprise to anyone, although his new look could make fans give their thumbs up in approval.
All of his special KOF14 moves can be seen throughout the game with Power Wave, Burn Knuckle, Crack Shoot, Rising Tackle and Power Charge getting a new coat of paint, although a change seems apparent from the start with the EX version of the shoulder causing a dent instead of a bounce on the wall.
While Power Geyser and Buster Wolf are obviously back as their Desperation Moves in the new game, Terry appears to have a new Climax Move that we assume will be called the Buster Launcher which looks based on his Power Charge that leads to an uppercut before it explodes.

As was the case with many previous titles, Terry is also the third and final member of Team Fatal Fury alongside his brother Andy and old friend Joe Higashi to keep the tradition alive.
This now makes three complete teams we know among Sacred Treasures to become officers and the Hero leading the way into the future.
Terry is also so special that he gets an extra minute of gameplay to show off, allowing us to see more of how the combination structure and gameplay will work for KOF15. There is still a lot we don’t know about the game, however, how the HUD looks, what systems we can play it on and, most importantly, when it will be released.
