The popular Fatal Fury character has looked set to take the fourth DLC roster slot for quite some time, following a number of leaks and rumors, and now we know he will join the battle on November 6.
Those who are familiar with Bogard from the SNK series will notice that his aesthetic has been somewhat freshened up in terms of attire, but game director Masahiro Sakurai confirmed that they wanted to keep as much of that trademark 90s look as possible when the fighter was in development.
Nintendo have revealed Terry Bogard’s move list, changes in the 6.0.0 update and more.Sakurai featured heavily in the character’s first-look video, which was uploaded to Nintendo’s official YouTube channel on the day of his release, walking fans through different things that they can expect from him in-game.
Bogard has a characteristic that not all of the fighters on the roster possess, too, as the imposing figure will always face the opponent – no matter the direction you choose to travel in. This, the director says, is a sign of focus.

During a Dodge Attack, your upper body becomes invincible,” the video states.
Aside from that, Bogard can also use an offensive cancel option to lead into a special. After the first phase of animation for some moves, players can quickly switch into a special for a second shot at the enemy.
New Stage: King of Fighters Arena
Unlike traditional stages, the edges of the Arena are walled off and can only be broken through after characters have taken enough damage. Therefore, it is unlikely to see tournament play, at least for a while.
