Fatal Fury Special/Geese Howard

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.

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

Tenpakken/Heavenly Breaking Fist (天破拳) It has strong priority and can intercept rushing techniques such as Zankageken (Andy) and Hououkyaku (Kim). After hitting, far C can be hit continuously. A typical combo starts from close A or cr. B, st. A while walking, and finishing with far C.

Hichuu Keri/Hidden Kick (秘中蹴り) Since it has long reach and it hits low, cancelling it into Reppuken is powerful. It has a large motion. If you spam it too much, the opponent can read you and jump over it.

Fumikomi Chuudan Uchi/Mid-Step Forward Strike (踏み込み中段打ち) Excellent reach and speed. There are many uses for it, such as aiming to catch the opponent's jump when landing, or using it after blocking a move with a long recovery time. On the other hand, the recovery time after a hit or block is long, so depending on the distance, some opponents can punish (Billy cr. C, Lawrence far D, etc.).

Denkou Mawashigeri/Lightining Roundhouse Kick (電光回し蹴り) A technique to kick while moving forward. Moves faster than normal walking. Even if it is blocked, there is a small gap to act. High startup makes it vulnerable to dodge attacks, etc.
