Terry Bogard is the lead character from SNK’s Fatal Fury game, a 1991 Neo Geo title. Described by SNK as “macho” and “stand-out”, Bogard is finally coming to Super Smash Bros. 28 years after his first appearance in a game, and bringing with him two legendary moves from his past.

Anyone who has played a Fatal Fury title will be aware of his Power Wave move, which sees him slam his fist into the ground, releasing a wave of energy towards his opponent that knocks them back and deals damage.

Bogard was the iconic frontman of Japanese company SNK’s entry into fighting games, appearing in Fatal Fury games up until 1999, when 1st Contact was released.

For fans, the opportunity to see the character use his legendary moves in the world of Super Smash Bros. is finally on its way, but they’ll have to wait just a couple more months before they can get their hands on him, and start dishing out Power Waves to everyone in sight.
