==Introduction==
Geese Howard will not hesitate to stand his ground as the ultimate mob boss of Southtown. Terry Bogard's ultimate rival, and the late father of Rock Howard of Garou: Mark of the Wolves, Geese is packing a deadly toolkit, crafted for punishing even the strongest of fighters with a solid read. While in other games he has a well rounded toolkit, in Fatal Fury Special he's geared more towards being a defensive zoner, unless the opponent manages to close the gap between him. Grounded Reppukens and his handy air fireball, in addition to his counter moves, make it easy for Geese to pin any character down while also punishing any attempt at jumping in, especially if the player can pull off the pretzel to dish out the Raging Storm. All of that said, he's not easy to play. Geese requires solid fundamentals and good reads for any player to play him effectively and reach his full potential. One careless mistake from the player can cost Geese's control of the screen. If you love Geese, however, then by all means he will not disappoint in Fatal Fury Special by being his own unique character, capable of handling most any situation. And of course, he's rocking not only an awesome stage, but a rocking theme song.

* On the other hand, the recovery time after a hit or block is long, so depending on the distance, some opponents can punish (Billy 2C, Laurence f5D, etc.).

===Match-ups===
There is a [[Fatal Fury Special/System#No Hitstop Glitch|bug]] that allows Player 1 Geese to make his Reppuken unblockable after a knockdown by whiffing f5A so that the projectile hits on f5A's last active frame. Even if it is a frame perfect trick, there is no risk to missing the timing, so you might as well go for it. Good opportunities for an unblockable Reppuken are after a counter or 4/6C throw, and it is recommended to walk back slightly before throwing the Reppuken. P1 Geese's c5A is also unblockable under the same conditions, but is far more risky so not as practical.

Introduction

Geese Howard will not hesitate to stand his ground as the ultimate mob boss of South Town and Terry Bogard's ultimate rival. Geese is packing a deadly toolkit, crafted for punishing even the strongest of fighters with a solid read. Grounded Reppukens and his handy air fireball combined with his counter moves make it easy for Geese to zone any character out while also punishing any attempt at jumping in, especially if the player can pull off the pretzel motion to dish out the Raging Storm. All of that said, he's not easy to play. Geese requires solid fundamentals and good reads for any player to play him effectively and reach his full potential. One careless mistake from the player can cost Geese's control of the screen. If you love Geese, however, then by all means he will not disappoint by being a unique character capable of handling most any situation. And of course, he's got an awesome stage and a rocking theme song.

Pros Cons
  • Counter moves for nearly every situation
  • Well-rounded set of normals
  • The only character with an air projectile
  • His theme song
  • Timing counter moves right can be tricky
  • Most damaging combos don’t work on small characters
  • Has a hard time against characters that can circumvent his projectiles
  • Steeper learning curve

  • Reaches very far for a light normal and hits all crouching characters. Great when cancelled into light Reppuken for chip damage.
  • Long recovery if it whiffs, so don't get too careless when using this.

  • Excellent reach and speed. A key move in neutral.
  • Good for punishing unsafe moves from a distance, like Cheng's balloon. Links from 5A, so it's also Geese's main combo ender.
  • Has somewhat long recovery, though, so some characters may be able punish it if done too close to your opponent (Billy 2C, Laurence f5D, etc.).

  • A rolling kick that moves Geese forward. You can use the momentum of this move to give you a speed boost as it's faster than walking.
  • Safe on block when spaced correctly.
  • It takes a while for the hitbox to activate, so it's easy to counter this move with a dodge attack.

  • Anti-air normals don't get much better than this. Comes out faster than most lights and beats just about any jump attack clean, especially from close range.
  • The fast startup makes it even a good button to throw out in close range ground game. Be sure to cancel it into Reppuken as the recovery will be long otherwise.

Strategy

The Basics

Advanced Strategy

There is a bug that allows Player 1 Geese to make his Reppuken unblockable after a knockdown by whiffing f5A so that the projectile hits on f5A's last active frame. Even if it is a frame perfect trick, there is no risk to missing the timing, so you might as well go for it. Good opportunities for an unblockable Reppuken are after a counter or 4/6C throw, and it is recommended to walk back slightly before throwing the Reppuken. P1 Geese's c5A is also unblockable under the same conditions, but is far more risky so not as practical.
