SNK is continuing their new tradition of announcing new King of Fighters 15 characters every week with Yuri Sakazaki previously joining the ranks while sporting her longer hair once again.
This week’s big reveal goes to none other than Terry Bogard himself looking sharper than perhaps they ever have before while also providing the most amount of KOF15 gameplay to date with an extended trailer.
SNK’s poster boy was almost a shoe-in for a spot on the roster, so his arrival now isn’t much of a surprise to anyone though his new look will hopefully make fans give their thumbs up in approval.
All of his special moves from KOF14 can be spotted throughout the gameplay with Power Wave, Burn Knuckle, Crack Shoot, Rising Tackle and Power Charge getting a new coat of paint though one change seems apparent from the start with the EX version of the shoulder causing a crumple instead of wall bounce.
While Power Geyser and Buster Wolf are obviously back as his Desperation Moves in the new game, Terry seems to have a new Climax Move we assume will be called Buster Launcher which seems based on his Power Charge that leads into an uppercut before exploding.

As was the case with many previous titles, Terry also makes up 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 full teams we know about between Sacred Treasures becoming official and Hero leading the way into the future.
Terry is also so special that he gets a full extra minute of gameplay to show off which let’s us see more of how the combo structure and gameplay is going to work for KOF15. There’s still a lot we don’t know about the game, however, like what the HUD will look like, what systems we can play it on and most importantly, when it’s going to release.
