Should Terry be the KOF hero again?

P-Geyser · Oct 1, 2002

I agree with Orochi Flava that the reason why I even played KOF 94 was also the reason that Terry was in it. Think about it Fatal Fury characters vs Art of fighting characters...thats what all gamers wanted to see. Kyo's team was just a newbie team.

I also feel that in 94 it was more focused on the rivalry of Terry and Ryo(recall Iori was not invented yet)just look at the demonstration commands. Kyo was just in it to look for his father.

As to Young Burnout I understand what you are trying to say but a couple of things. I already said Terry should not be the KOF hero but he shoud also not get degraded next to Kyo. I understand Kyo is the main character of KOF but damn he acts like he owns everybody's ass for free. The KOF comics are disusting and make me sick because Kyo,Iori,K,K999,Kula all breeze past SNK's lengends(Terry,Ryo etc) and it sucks.

And speaking of Terry "falling" back on Fatal Fury well Fatal Fury seems to be no more and I have no idea if a MOTW'S 2 is coming out. It's a shame because Fatal Fury games had creativity in my book(FF 3, RB &RBS) now all Terry is, is a jobber in KOF which makes me mad at SNK/Eolith/Playmore.

Imma have to draw my own comic.. Geese smacks Kyo saying "Move bitch..get out da way...get out the wayyyy...."lol and only Terry can save him.

Overkill Geyser · Oct 2, 2002

LOL!! That was funny! Hey, I noticed some of you guys read the comic translations on KOFonline, too. Did you see how they tried to downgrade Terry to the same level as Benimaru?? Y'know... out of all the "Chump Terry" issues, the only one I can accept was the one for the KOF 2000 comic. That Terry vs. K' fight was hot (no pun intendid)! True, K' won with what I call "Hero power" (where the writer makes the hero win with something totally unfair or off the wall), but most main characters do. If you haven't seen it, check it out... if KOFonline is back up to snuff.

Reno Garcia · Oct 2, 2002

Well about Terry became a hero of the next KOF´s.... well, you can centered about Geese legance (that you can saw in MOTW about Geese´s herence, it´s irrevelant to put the bloodline Heilein and their wereabouts in KOF) or a sequence about Jin´s power,(for anything that heard it´s the power that Geese search in FF3 and Real bout..), without a reason to hit the organizer (it´s to saw that was the badboy <img src="graemlins/annoyed.gif" border="0" alt="[Annoyed]" /> ) Terry didn´t revealed much importance in the KOF storyline, (in the truth, Kyo and gang don´t deserve more aptetion in N.E.S.T.S sage and the next sage..).

A least you can imagine that these flame users can be their ass rape against Grant in MOTW (aka KOF 2008) <img src="graemlins/tickled.gif" border="0" alt="[Tickled]" /> .

Terry was treated a lot better in the kof 2000 comic...although he did lose to "Hero Power" he certainly did beat the hell out of K' and Zero. He was also a force in the OX series. I got pissed at the ridiculous loss he had in 2001. All of a sudden Kyo and Iori can fight solely on spirit energy? Where is that spirit energy now that Kyo's been getting his ass handed to him by k9999? It was obvious Terry was wayyyyy above Benny's level, but that last minute "flaming tiger spirit explosion" thing was ridiculous...Like Terry wouldn't be able to sense that kind of aura building up.

Stupid reason of the author to explain their loss in KOF 2K1 when I remenber in the manwas of KOF´96, He and ALL their team (plus Kim) are beaten easily by Iori.

P-Geyser · Oct 3, 2002

I agree with all of you guys. That issue of The Fatal Fury Team vs The Japan Team was total horse shit. Terry was beating Benimaru's ass and Kyo out of nowhere becomes a "god" and wipes out him and Blue Mary. I really think KOF comics suck.

Speaking of Terry's screw's in the comics here are some that get me.

#1. Iori defeats the whole Fatal Fury team at the beach throwing Terry in the ocean.

#2. In the beggining of the 99 comics,Iori once again beats Terry like a ragdoll hitting him in the chest with his stupid purple flames.

#3. I think it was the 99 comics I am not sure but it was Terry vs Ryo in one issue. Terry I belived hit Ryo with the POWER GEYSER. What happens? Ryo gets up unharmed and executes his special knocking Terry out and having Terry cough up blood.

#4. Probably the most ridicouls which is the Fatal Fury LOST to the Korean Team. Terry lost because the damn time RAN OUT!

I am sorry to say but I personally feel that KOF has ruined the good name of Terry Bogard. It's a shame for a great character who had 8 games and three SUCCESSFUL animes under his credit to just be treated like a pathetic sideline character(comics&games)

Like i said before Terry will always be the jobber and Kyo will always be te main attraction and once again that sucks also <img src="graemlins/mad2.gif" border="0" alt="[Mad 2]" />

Orochi_Flava · Oct 4, 2002

I remember that Issue where Terry and Iori fought at the beach..Iori knocked out the whole Fatal Fury team...but I remember they left it at a draw. I can't take Iori seriously as a great villain, he doesn't have any purpose besides looking around for Kyo. Not exactly great character development...He's definitely no Magneto in that sense. Geese has a lot more backstory, and you know his sole purpose in life isnt defeating Terry(although it's pretty high on his list)The Issue where Terry lost to the Korean team? Although he beat both Kim and Jhun, he lost to time...what bullshit... and Kyo/Iori beat whole teams single handedly... lol, maybe if DC licensed the comic Terry would get more respect and have a chance at being the Hero again.

Hey ladies and gentleman what a real Jackie Mason we got over here huh? Yeah Kyo fans are dancing to that fine tune but sooner or later KOF is going to need a new main character and when Kyo's ass gets the boot I wonder if Kyo fans will have a problem also....I hope so.

Wel gee i think some one is a bit upset cause not everyone is a devoted Terry fan, true i like terry but i like Kyo more. Terry had his time in Fatal Fury, i don't think he needs two games just cause he's the og SNK bad boy, if that's the case then he needs to move over cause Geese deserves that title. I wouldn't mind if they replaced Kyo with somebody, the tried to(i think) with K' and guess what........K' sucked ass. Let's hope the next main guy or grrl isn't the I live to fight only type like Terry

Well it seems that someone was not paying attention I already AGREED ok listen now AGREED that Terry should NOT be the hero of KOF are we clear? yeah lets also hope that the next main guy will use something other than fire like Kyo.

Well i'm gald we AGREE on something then, and as long as we AGREE then it's good. i also hope the next guy doesn't refer to himself as a wolf, i think forest animals are played out now. Maybe he or she could refer to themselves as a shark or something

Yes Terry should not be the KOF hero but that does not mean he sould be treated in that manner. How would you feel if K' jus came in and beat Kyo with a snap of a finger.........wouln't you be pissed of?

Yes I would be very upset and begin beating the hell out of the first person i run into. Yeah i to get a little upset to see Terry get treated like a punk bitch because he is the first SNK character I played with way back when Fatal Fury 1 came out, I just get upset when I see a mob of people asking for Kyo's head on a silver platter just cause he treated Terry like a .50 cent slut.

I mean i was upset that they would wanna use K' who IS just a cheap imitation of Kyo, I mean hell if your gonna replace someone at least have the mind power to creat someone original. But this could just go on, I mean how many people wpuld be upset if Eiolth seed up the clock to make Rock the new lead in the next KoF?? Wouldn't that get evryone attention(Rock haters and lovers) Everyone has their fav and would love not to see him reduced to the new guys bitch.

So i leave this thread saying I respect you and your view, and no i really didn't pay attention to your earlier post I just saw some Kyo bashing and and lost it. My bad

Thats allright. I thought you would understand if the role was reversed with Kyo. Also yes I am a true devoted fan of Terry and when I see him get degraded like that it makes me want to get up and hurt someone as well(mainly the KOF comic writers)To be honest yes there was Kyo bashing going on but that is nothing. Whereas this "little" topic is bashing Kyo, The KOF comics are bashing Terry to the WHOLE WORLD front and center. I am sorry but that pisses me off and I will have something to say about it and I am sorry if it offends people.

Well as the way Kyo took out Terry heh heh heh you got to understand that was Terry getting degraded at his worst. Like the other comment said at least when Terry fought K' it was a good fight even though Terry lost which was also dumb but that was another story. Seeing of Terry's history in Fatal Fury plus the games and the three animes to just be jobbed like that having Kyo take him out in one stroke....lets just say I was so mad I almost cursed at my mother.

Anyways I do respect your opinion but you gotta understand Terry deserves RESPECT also and thats not what he is getting and thats why Terry fans like Orochi Flava, Overkill Geyser and myself are livid and when he ALWAYS gets beatdown by Kyo/Iori/K then I start to get real pissed making it seem that Terry cant put up much of a fight.

Anyways enough ranting...like I said I respect your opinion so I guess it's cool.

Peace

We probably wouldn't of had this problem if the fighting games released by SNK kept their concept of seperate storylines that intermingled with each other. FF, AOF were the "main stories" of Southtown since they started (and KOF was just a tournament within the Fatal Fury story). When KOF '94 came along, they createrd Kyo to try and make a new "lead character". Fine... they should have kept some level of consistency throughout the stories, just so KOF still had a logical way to "merge" the stories together into a new series. KOF characters should have also appeared in AOF or FF stories back then to make hypothetical "dream matches", just like in FFS when Ryo Sakazaki was a special "hidden character" in it, or when Geese turned out to be the final boss of AOF2. When they threw away these little details between their games in 1996, it made it seem as if FF and AOF had little to no importance anymore, and that KOF was the only thing that mattered. I enjoy KOF more than anything, but that was truly a sad da... it no longer felt as if you belonged to something much bigger than the game itself.

As for the next "hero"? Believe it or not... why not focus on the "Dragon Spirit"... if you finish KOF 2001 with Team China in tact, you managed to hear about how powerful the Dragon Spirit was and how if it was awaken that it would truly be one to reckon with... one that even the N.E.S.T.S would crumble to. It may sound weird for Athena & Kensou to be the actual leads of the KOF story, but it would be quite easy for the next KOF to start forming a story around this, and introduce a new anti-China team that is trying to stop the awakening.

Of course... I don't think ANYONE would agree with this. But it's a passing thought...

The whole "Dragon Spirit" storyline seems like it could be a hell of a lot more interesting than the Nests saga, but If I see Terry lose to Kensou (especially since Kensou looks so stupid to me) thats the last KOF i'll play.

Should Athena change her fighting outfit every year?...

Should Chang shave his beard?...

Should Choi let his hair grow?...

Should Chin sober up?...

Should Kensou dress up as Jay Leno?...

Who knows?...

KOF is full of mysteries... Riddles... Enigmas... Cryptic... Obscure...

Should Tadaima be the next KOF heroe?... Yes, definetely.

Hehehehehe... I guess you'd hate me then, for my Kensou beats Terry Bogard many times.

Storywise, it would be a LITTLE silly. But it could still logically be done. Terry beats Kensou in the actual KOF tourament... Kensou then loses control and undergoes a strange transformation that allows him to harness the "Dragon Spirit" and knocks out Terry after the fact. Would that work for you?

Orochi_Flava · Oct 9, 2002

That makes a little more sense as long as kyo and iori dont come to the rescue...I'd still stop playing KOF though..I HATE Kensou. <img src="graemlins/veryangry.gif" border="0" alt="[Very Angry]" />
