Mister Terry Bogard, of the FATAL FURY series of fighting games.
I, of course, grew up behind the controls of this guy for mostly the better part of my life. I am no stranger to the Ter. I was a huge fan of the Fatal Fury anime, and in fact, Masami Obari's fight choreography and camera angles, anatomy, etc, greatly inspired my art style growing up. I'd say the mythology behind Terry goes deep for me. Especially since he's one of the first major video game characters to rock a ripped vest, trucker hat & converse shoes. That's just too cool.
I think Terry is kind-of underrated in the whole fighter realm (like a true unsung hero). Not only is he (and his game) not as popular as Ryu (and Street Fighter), but even in King of Fighters, he was never a "main" character (leaving that to Kyo, Iori, K', etc)--
But I honestly believe, in my nerd heart, that in the Battle Royale of fighting game history, Terry would come out on top. He could bitch slap Akuma.
He killed the fuckin' GOD OF WAR.
Yeah, he'd kill Kratos, too.
I'm pissed he doesn't have his Power Dunk in KOF12. WTF.
I totally freaking agree with you! I'm not really old enough to have played the games, but I know enough about the story to know Terry is awesome. He will always be my favorite Fighter in any fighting game! May the Legend of the Hungry Wolf life on!
i can't believe this went a year without being viewed well i have to tell you flat out that while even though it isn't the greatest terry fanart based on skill. Based on design and character understanding i can say this is the best terry bogard fan art i have personally ever seen. It looks more contemporary like this is what he would wear if the character was created now i love it
My favorite part of the Fatal Fury anime is (sadly in the dub) when the bad guy twin brother dude yells Terry's name and put the accent on his last name in such an angry ragin thing. It's always awesome. This is fantastic by the way.
well for sure Terry's one of the greatest! but is there really anyone else than Sephiroth able to blow Cloud away (and I'm not even sure he could!) and anybody else than Ryu to put Ken into a bad situation?
May the Legend of the Hungry Wolf life on!
