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
