This video took more time to make than it should have. Thank you all for you patience and I hope it was worth the wait.

Terry is the best American created by Japanese

He actually got the legendary (hungry) wolf name because of his fight with Geese which was so intense it was compared to a fight between hungry wolves.

"Different timelines" FINALLY, someone who doesn't mix up the SNK and the KOF timeline.

He looks like the kind of guy to have a pizza with.

Because of Terry, any time I hear the phrase, "Are you Ok?" I immediately think "BUSTA WULF!" I have no regrets about this at all.

Always loved Terry, when I was a kid I found a hat colored like his and I stapled paper cutout letters to spell fatal fury 😂

That's some mature conversation between Terry and Mary. lol

"And after a calm and mature coversation" *Shows Terry and Mary beating the crap of each other* xD

Terry Bogard: a handsome face, a rad outfit, and a golden heart.

"Personal Taxi" yeah, that sums his relationship with Mary alright 😂

This was good, I've always loved the SNK characters over Capcom's fighter characters.. SNK fighter characters, were not only more stylish, but felt much deeper, like you really wanted to know them. It all made sense, when I later read stuff from designers, who stated that they treated their characters like real people. This was a huge inspiration for me, in creating characters for a beat-em-up game, which will share the same world as the fighting game.

So that's why Terry didn't have his hat in Garou... Loved the comedy skits you added here with Terry and Blue Mary's mature conversation and kicking Mai off the team (which is pretty relevant to what happened to her in Smash lol). If I can make a suggestion for future character lore videos, try to end the video summarizing the character and what may become of them in the future. The last words you said about K' in his video was probably the best way to conclude the video, so if you can somehow end future character lore videos like that, it would give a lasting impression to viewers about the character.

Terry : "Can you take me for a ride to Geese's headquarters on your bike please?" Mary : "Why don''t YOU ride me for once Terry ? What about that ?"

_watches a Smash video about Terry_ KZfaq recommendations: *_WE HEARD YOU LIKE SNK_*

Poor Rock. He struggled to resist his evil power inherited from his father, Geese. And he never considered Geese as his father.

When you put Geese in the same picture as Terry and Andy, it almost looks like he is their father.

Terry in Smash and what better to wait to explore the story of the Hungry Wolf himself.

I always figured Geese survived by using his hakama as a parachute.

23:54 LOL. I can't help but laugh at the part when Terry kicked Mai out with such a cartoonish effect like kick much to Andy's chagrin. It really made me laugh my ass off.

So they explain why Terry is having multiverse dreams?

*Terry gets announced* "Man, I feel like I wasted money on this Fighters Pass..." *weeks later* Learns about him more (memes, short "about him and SNK" video) & buys SNK Arcade Classics Vol. 1, completely new for 80 Euros. But in all seriousness - thank you so much for this video! I am a 90's kid and I love Smash, but before his Smash announcement I didn't even know that Fatal Fury/The King of Fighters existed (illness called "Nintendo fanboy blindness"). But the more I researched and found out about him, his and other SNK franchises, the more I started to like him (and Mai...and Yuri). In the end, I'm glad that such a historically important character is in and that Sakurai, his team and Nintendo think about people outside of Japan, USA and Europe. Now I have a good grasp about the lure of Fatal Fury and The King of Fighters too, thanks to your video! P.S.: I'm also up for wacky songs like Haremar Faith Capoeira School song and anime-like songs such as Psycho Soldier - man, does this vocal song sound sooo good!

Terry has long been one of my favorite characters, but even I learned a few things from this video that I wasn't fully aware of (trying to get a hold of all the games for the full story is difficult). One thing that a lot of people fail to recall about Terry is that he is a masterful craftsman in the art of Trash Talk. While cheerful and carefree and an all-around good guy, Terry is not above using psychological means to get under his opponents skin to throw off their groove while keeping a level head in the process. This is demonstrated most clearly in the intro snippets between characters in KOF XIII. Most notably against Ash Crimson, who often chastises, derides, or insults other fighters with an air of superiority and confidence. Terry is the only character who manages to turn it around on him and get him angry. It's all just fluff though. Terry (usually) doesn't mean anything by it, and is quick to patch up any hurt feelings after the bout. He's a real class act, but he's also very human. He's never held a stable job or has any true career goals. He'll often abuse Mary's fondness for him (though he's careful not to overdo it). He likes to overeat and knows how to be lazy, but he also loves the thrill of a good fight. The whole reason I want a new Fatal Fury game as opposed to a new KOF game is because I want to see Terry shine again. KOF has its own heroes and villains, and Terry, being the star of a different series, isn't ever given a prominent role. Fatal Fury endings as of late have all been about how single Joe is and are more or less irrelevant. I'd like to see the story of the Hungry Wolf pushed a little further once again.

From all fighting games, Terry Bogard have always been my favorite Protagonist, he is the embodiment of COOL, his fighting style is so unique and his personality shines compared with all others FG protagonist.

Really loved this detailed lore. It had so much more content than the previous videos. Great work bro

This video was SO well-made! You had it right in saying that when he hit the scene he was so different from other fighters in any fighting game because he has normal clothing on instead of martial arts uniforms. That fact made him my favorite of all time back in the 1990s. Still is my favorite character of all time to this day!

Mature conversation indeed. Must be their Vice. Get it.

This video needs to be shown to those, "Who is this grown-up Pokemon trainer?!" Assholes. Great video.

After watching this video, all i can say is...; I... FREAKING... LOVE... IT!!! BOY, THIS VIDEO IS REALLY WORTH THE WAIT!!! Oh yeah, i'm totally gonna download this one and added this to documentary collection for both future references and training material, now i can finally show this to my nieces and nephews if they will ask me why do i always wear a cap all the time and why i am "The Black Wolf" and also why do i always have a Terry in my team everytime we play KOF, this video is already enough to explain to them why do i want to be like him, like seriously this man is the best protagonist for a fighting game; he doesn't just have a cool and awesome design but also a very rich backstory, colorful personality, a very warm attitude, an awesome moveset with a very versatile ability, unique friendly charisma, powerful yet humble and also not to mention, how amazing he handles his depression where no signs of it are visible on his face, it's like he never had any problems encountered in his entire life but his mental strength is so admirable, Boy, i enjoyed watching this, it reminded me of why i feel in love with Terry Bogard as character and my inspiration and also how i got my own motto in life, it's "Regardless of what it is, always have fun!; And you'll be surprised what happens next." Let me say thank you for spending time and effort in composing this video, even for me i knew that this lore with take so long to complete because Terry has a very rich story but you were still able to create an in-depth and well detailed lore video of him, i'm totally impressed!, You did a very good job, me and Terry are hats off to you and "OKAY!". Please never stop making these very passionate videos and continue sharing your love for these stuff, again thank you. P.S. i know this already too much but may i ask if, are you still going to do a lore video of Benimaru Nikaido?, I just want to give justice to him because in every KOF saga he always has a big role in every saga but his always set aside and often forgotten as an important character, even though Terry's lore video is enough for me but i still find myself unsatisfied because until now, i still haven't seen a complete video about Benimaru Nikaido or how important he is in every KOF story, I just wish someone would do a lore video about him or even a tribute, but it's ok if it's too much for i understand but if you do, don't worry i will still patiently wait for it just like how i waited for Terry's video, so don't pressure yourself, "OKAY". AGAIN, THANK YOU, I ENJOYED IT.

Thank you for show casing Terry. He is my favorite character ever since fatal fury. I'm glad to see someone gave him some love

That ending about Rock betraying Terry tho... Makes a great what-if character.

Good job man. Terry Bogard is up there with Ryu.

I actually always thought for the longest time that Mary was already married to Terry. But now that I know and you brought this to my attention my friend I have a lot more wisdom about it now. Thank you so much

I love the fact this lore is amazing with content but the hungry lone wolf says "OK" was never mentioned. I love the Bogard lore.

9:11-9:33 Okay that part was amazing. 23:53-23:58 too. Also what timing Shoryu, I was just playing Terry's classic mode in Ultimate when I got notified by this. Terry Bogard is one of the reasons why in fighting games I care for the lore and characters a lot. Terry is one of the most recognizable fighting game character for me not just because he's fun to play, but because of his charm and really interesting story about his life. Now I know that when people mostly get into a fighting game it's mostly for, you know, the "fighting" portion. However Terry is one of the biggest examples of what happens when a company actually cares about their characters and gives them growth, purpose and desires. I swear the only two companies I can think that actually really care for their story and characters along with the gameplay and do it fairly well in my eyes are SNK and Arc System Works.

Best fighting game hero ever

The fatal fury trilogy animes are awesome. The scenes where Terry learns how to use his chi with Master Tung Fu Rue are epic😁🙏🎸

3:49 this art is dope. It needs to be on a shirt.

I swear, Ken and Terry are like the best dads. Ken took a blow to the groin and Terry just powered dunk on Rock.

I think Terry is the first single dad of fighting games. Raising the son of your sworn enemy admirable most definitely. Bravo

"Are u okay...Busta WOLF"

The people at SNK completely nailed it with Terry. From his design and his character arc across all the games he appeared in, to his personality and even his move set were all perfect. He's the kind of guy that all the girls wanna be with but he really just wants to fight and hang out with the boys.

I never understood the anime movies giving Terry that tornado like move with the ki and it would NEVER be in the games.

Terry is my favor video game character of ALL time, his easy going, positive energy is non-matched with his unique personality. He is also a character been through pain and internal struggles since his youth and he still able stand back up and move on from his past. A true hero that no many video game characters can match.

As I know Terry won against Rock and instead of fighting Kain he fought Grant at the last stage since Terry comments he took more beatings from larger guys like him, while Rock went to Kain why Terry's ending he was searching for him, but both endings connect to each other and have the same ends, you can go with Rock or Terry winning the fight and at the end Rock still leaving and probably returning in a villain role or reconciling with Terry.

19:35 "Geese's loin seed" You're welcome.

Nice video, and Terry is by far my favorite SNK character and has probably the best story of anyone in SNK lore. I am glad he is getting more promotion in crossovers than Kyo and Iori, as he is by far more interesting than them both. Seeing him appear in Fighting EX Layer and then being announced for Super Smash Brothers brought a smile to my face.

This was a great summary of Terry's history for people like me. I'm not too familiar with The King of Fighters series or SNK, so I'm pretty much discovering a whole new universe of games. I'll have to play one of them at some point when I have the time and money, and since it's almost Christmas time I'll soon have plenty of both.

What’s with SNK characters and blossoming their romance by beating the hell out of each other? XD Anyway, Terry’s my boy and this video couldn’t happen at a better time. I was so happy when this BA wolf was announced for SSBU. Another solid video, ShoryuGame. I love that Mai getting kicked out joke. XD

This is great for me because as KoF 99 was my first KoF and SNK game, I had no idea about Fatal Fury and always thought Terry was made for KoF. Wasnt until the Terry Smash announcement and turning me back to SNK that got me aware of the Fatal Fury stuff.

Terry is who made me fall in love with KOF, I love him so much

23:46 a wholesome PSA from the most kind hearted fighter of them all.

I always thought that Terry and Andy's real father is Geese

"After a calm and mature conversation between two of them" -Blue Mary and Terry in a fight 🤣

9:28 had me concerned about how that "conversation" ended...

I love this part 23:54 This is show how strong Terry actually is💖

Thank you so much. I love hearing about my favorite video game character.

I've been playing all of these games since the 90's and I somehow never realized that Fatal Fury and King of Fighters were not the same timeline. Naturally I always questioned how Geese was alive in KoF96 and especially in KoFXIV, but I just assumed they were ignoring the story to bring back fan favorite characters. Very informative video, thank you for making these videos!

Terry is my favorite fighting game lead protagonist. Very different compared to other leads in fighting games by not being Asian (though it's rumored that Terry is a decent of Haohmaru), not a sole karateka or kenpo practitioner, and was more of an early Mixed Martial Artist. I think SNK must've made some retcons since the 1999 regarding Garou Densetsu/Fatal Fury 3 & Real Bout because Geese defeated Terry in there second battle and was so powerful after collecting the scrolls that it took him and Andy to fight Geese but Terry gave Geese the final blow. Geese thought the power of the scrolls would save him but the Jin brothers got the scrolls back and performed an enchantment that took the power away from Geese. Hence why he didn't survive. Again that's how I remembered reading things back in 1999. Can't wait for your next KOF (SNK) Lore video.

This is amazing and Terry is very much FF as he is KoF. Will you go in depth about one of my favs Geese Howard? I think there's something more special about him and his rise to power. This man had Soo much of an impact nightmares of him had people shook. Might need to talk about Maximum impact also because South Town.

Mary, I give you my cap, take good care of it Wow, Terry you... Give it back to me for the next tournament and we will pretend that this ending is not canon But- It's easier than making me a different sprite! XD

Terry Bogard is my favorite character from Fatal Fury and the kings of Fighters can you do a video about his brother and his rivals like geese Howard and krauser your channel is awesome.

Good timing with this one, hope a lot of people watch it, and I hope daddy Sakurai pouring as much love as he did into his Fatal Fury/KoF/SNK/Neo Geo presentation will get more people into these games. Keep up the great work, these videos will do wonders for the new generation of KoF fans.

oh god i remember being so obsessed with Fatal Fury: Wild Ambition and having a huuuuuuge crush on Terry back then

It's Rock Howard's true Dad Also Alice is part of the family too with Blue Mary.

Terry in kof is just "look I'm that guy from the fatal fury... Why am I not important to the story."

Terry is the Legend! He is the True & Original King of Fighters. This Hungry Wolf can beat anyone when he "get serious" and ask if you are okay...

Are you ok...................BUSTA WOLF

Won't lie I always thought that Kyo was the face of SNK and Terry was like Ken

23:53 LMAO 😂 That never gets old!

30 min video?? AWESOME. Great work on this!

Terry has always been my favorite SNK character so this video was just amazing

Truly well done shoryu the wait was worth terry was always an amazing character to me in every game

This video came at the right time. Nice job, you did a better job at explaining it than Sakurai himself. xD

This is probably my favorite video on the internet.

i played more Fatal Fury/KOF than Street Fighter as a kid, i remember seeing the cabinet for the first time and thinking this looks better than SF, the colours, stages, character animation and specials. Only picked SF up again after "Alpha" and "X-Men vs SF" lol

I love the garou densetsu! I think Terry has become the main face for SNK because he's a every man. Yes he has extraordinary skills, but like Rock Lee, Baki hanma or even Goku, Terry earned every bit of his skill and strength. I love the fact that Terry took a lot of azz kickings before he developed his own martial arts. I even have a fatal fury hat sitting in my closet that i got from getting one KOF game lol. How awesome would a storyline be with the gods from the scrolls vs the orochi disciples? Keep the great videos coming Shoryu!

@4:33, the taxi driver is creepy as hell.

You completely gave me a whole perception for this character. Thank you.

Terry Bogard is such a badass fighter!

Terry is always my hero, he has both style and the true personality of a hero! He is also very polite person and always ask if other people is okay! Are you okay?

3:54 For a second there I thought he was pointing at his junk like "yeah I got your busta wolf right here"

Possibly the greatest fighting game protagonist of all time

23:53 God, this made my week XD

All I learned, was Terry was a good father

Jeff Bogard and Hanzo shiranui gave Wolfgang krauser the x mark on his forehead they use their combined attacks to leave a mark on him.

Terry Bogard, the best dad in all fighting games! Great video, dude. Keep it up!

If possible, I would like to see the lore of Geese and Rock Howard, and Blue Mary.Those characters really do interest me.

*The Story Of Nakoruru next?*

The timeline is still complicated. I expected that it was a separate timeline, but when Mark of the Wolves called South Town New South town I got lost. So the Zero Canon did hit South Town in the Mark of the Wolves timeline and they had to rebuild?

We need GAROU:MOTW 2

Been binge watching your videos, and wow am I glad I watched this one. I actually didn't know Ffury and Kof weren't in the same timeline either. It's also funny that these characters don't age. I was 10 in 1994 and was younger than all these characters by far, but now somehow I'm older than most lol. By the way, why does Terry bother even fighting Geese. He always comes back. He never dies!

@23:55 I almost screamed our loud laughing in class watching this!!

Am a fan of Terry since KoF 98 and played most Fatal Fury and KoF games. Thanks for the extensive lore video, I learned new things today :D It's also a good explanation of the weird story-telling going on in most SNK games.

I know Terry's English is not that clear since it's a japanese voice actor who voices him, but I'd love to know what Terry says in his SDM in KOF 2002 and Garou Mark of the Wolves. I know he says "Go bang" in his DM, but in the SDM he says something before "Go bang".

Terry was always better than the arrogant kid Kyo. Kof was just a failed attempt from snk to find a relatable protagonist for the emo kids of late but they saw Hoe much important terry was/is and i hope that he gets his own kof arc as well. Terry will be forever Snk's mascot.

I think it's heavily implied that Andy and Terry were Geeses abandoned children.

"All previous editions were won by Billy Kane" ---except the first which was beaten by some nobody known as the "Invincible Dragon"

i never knew kof was considered a different time line all together that's pretty cool
