Are You Okay!? Fighting Game Icon Terry Bogard Is The Next ‘Smash Bros’ Fighter

After rumors ran rampant over who the next addition to the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate roster would be after Nintendo UK accidentally let it slip that it would be an SNK character, it was revealed during the latest Nintendo Direct that Fatal Fury protagonist Terry Bogard would be coming to the all-star brawler in November.

As a fighting game icon in his own right, Terry originated in Fatal Fury: The King of Fighters. His no-nonsense, in your face fighting style has become as memorable as his instantly recognizable look and catchphrases, being one of the more charismatic characters in the genre. Despite his franchise taking a backseat to the crossover team game, The King of Fighters, Terry has remained a mascot for the company who has seen it through its most prosperous and trying times. While not as prominent in recent years, Terry has a rich history in both fighting games and SNK as a whole. Now with SNK back on the upswing with games like The King of Fighters 14, the upcoming 15, and the recently released Samurai Showdown, this welcomed surprise couldn’t have been timed any better.

But perhaps even bigger was the announcement that even more DLC will be on the way. Who do you want to make the cut? And who do you think the last character in Fighter Pass 1 will be? Did you catch all the references in Terry’s reveal trailer? Check it out below and tell us what you thought!
