Geese Howard (ギース・ハワード Gisu Hawado?) is a video game character appearing in SNK's (now known as SNK Playmore) fighting games. He is better known as the chief antagonist in the Fatal Fury series up until the Real Bout Fatal Fury series.

Fictional History

Art of Fighting through Fatal Fury

Childhood

Not much is known about Geese's childhood save that Wolfgang Krauser and he share a parent (the FF2 anime implies it is their father, who abandoned Geese's mother, but the anime movies do not count toward any official continuity). There is a Shinkiro illustration said to have been made for a novel about Geese's youth where he's shown as a younger bare-chested man with hair much shorter than he had in AoF2, also featuring younger versions of characters like Jubei Yamada and Tung Fu Rue, as well as modern-day portraits of the Bogard brothers and Joe Higashi - however, most intriguing of all was the large background image of a nun, which one may speculate to be Geese's mother. When he was old enough, Geese began training in the school of Hakkyokuseiken with Jeff Bogard, but Master Tung Fu Rue passed him over and taught Jeff the secrets of the style. This angered Geese, as ever since Tung Fu Rue declared Jeff the favorite, Geese swore revenge against Jeff. Geese had other martial arts teachers over the course of his life, which apparently included "Blue" Mary Ryan's grandfather and Toji Sakata from Fatal Fury Wild Ambition.

Art of Fighting

Geese rose to the top in an unusual way. During the Art of Fighting series, Geese gained power as a kingpin of crime. First, he made good on his threats against the Sakazakis, since Takuma stood in his way. Geese forced Takuma to cooperate at all costs or suffer the consequences. Takuma did not like the idea of serving Geese Howard so when he was ordered to kill Jeff Bogard, Takuma refused. Geese kidnapped Yuri Sakazaki and had Mr. Big supervise Takuma to prevent Takuma from disobeying Geese. Mr. Big then ordered Takuma to fight his own son, Ryo Sakazaki. Ryo's anger almost had Takuma killed, but Yuri came unscathed, told Ryo not to do so, and revealed that both Ryo and Takuma were tricked into fighting each other.

Takuma resigned from Geese's ranks and swore revenge against Geese for disgracing the honor of Kyokugenryu Karate. During Art of Fighting 2 (which is the first official instance of a King of Fighters tournament in AOF-FF timeline), the Sakazakis (and Robert Garcia) managed to defeat Geese. Geese then evaded the Haoushoukouken deathblow attempted by Ryo and later attacked and killed Jeff in unarmed combat, which was witnessed by Terry, as seen in the Fatal Fury Wild Ambition intro sequence. Kyokugenryu Karate (Japanese: 極限流空手) is a fictitious fighting style employed by several characters in the Art of Fighting fighting games produced by SNK Playmore. ...

Fatal Fury

In his rise to the top, Geese obtained the services of Billy Kane as his personal bodyguard (he is known to have two others, Ripper and Hopper, although they do not actually fight in the games), and set Billy up as the champion when Geese organized another King of Fighters tournament. Fatal Fury , Legend of the Hungry Wolf) is a fighting game series developed by SNK for the Neo-Geo system. ... Billy Kane (ビリー・カーン) is a video game character in both the Fatal Fury and King of Fighters series. ... The King of Fighters ), or KOF for short, is a fighting game series by SNK that debuted in 1994. ...


In 1992, three new contestants entered Geese's tournament: Terry Bogard, Andy Bogard, and Andy's friend Joe Higashi. Very few people defeated Billy, but Terry did just that, and earned the right to fight Geese himself. They battled in Geese Tower, and Terry managed to defeat him. The original Fatal Fury game showed Geese the loser of that fight falling from the top of the building, but later this was retconned in Fatal Fury Wild Ambition into an almost fatal beating, explaining why Geese was still alive in later games, and yet was taken for dead by many until Fatal Fury 3.

Fatal Fury Special

Fatal Fury Special, was a mostly-apocryphal game that combined the rosters of the first two Fatal Fury games. Geese was the penultimate of the five bosses, preceded by Billy Kane, Axel Hawk, and Lawrence Blood, and followed by Fatal Fury 2's chief antagonist, Wolfgang Krauser. The events of Fatal Fury Special are not considered canon to the series' storyline; Geese was still widely believed to be dead (although he calls himself immortal in pre-fight quotes). Axel Hawk is a video game character from the Fatal Fury fighting game series. ... Wolfgang Krauser ) is a boss character in SNK Playmores Fatal Fury series. ...


Fatal Fury 3

After Fatal Fury 2, Geese keeps a low profile for a while, even during the main Fatal Fury 3 tournament, but comes back in the very end, to steal the Sacred Scrolls of Immortality from the Jin twins.


Real Bout Fatal Fury

The game took place in 1995 (several months after FF3) which Geese organized another King of Fighters tournament. Geese then encountered Terry again, and they fought on Geese Tower's observation deck (decorated as a Japanese shrine). Terry knocked Geese through the wooden guardrail, and grabbed him as he fell. Geese released himself from Terry's grasp, and allowed himself to fall to his death.


Seeing how the events of that game were closely related to the Jin scrolls, which apparently had something to do with the power of immortality, and Geese was in possession of them, it may be reasonable to assume that Geese preferred to test their effectiveness than to live with the shame of being saved by his enemy, especially considering his grin at the time. Geese's story in this game has him facing a mysterious imposter known only as Shadow, who resembles Geese except that Shadow stutters.


Real Bout Fatal Fury Special

Geese appeared in RBS as a hidden character with all his moves increased to awesome power, and few lines of story - this incarnation is referred to as "Nightmare Geese". A secret character (not to be confused with an unseen character) is usually a playable character (although not always) in a video game that can only be played (or in some cases fought) by completing some task in the game. ...


Real Bout Fatal Fury 2

Geese is selectable in this game, and you face him as a boss character if you do well during the game. If you finish that game as him, you will see him being escorted by his bodyguards to a chair, from which he promptly disappears, leaving the Jin scrolls in his place.


Garou: Mark of the Wolves

Geese is survived by his son Rock Howard, whom Terry has trained for some time. The host of the tournament, Kain R. Heinlein is Marie Heinlein's (Geese's lover) brother. Rock Howard ) is a video game character who was introduced in SNK Playmores fighting game Garou: Mark of the Wolves, the last chapter in the Fatal Fury series. ... Kain R. Heinlein (カイン・R・ハインライン) is a video game character and is the final boss from the SNK fighting game Garou: Mark of the Wolves. ...


Fatal Fury Wild Ambition

This game is said to be a retelling of the events of Fatal Fury 1, and therefore Geese also makes an appearance here - however, when defeated by Terry, he doesn't fall from the top of the Geese Tower.


The King of Fighters

The King of Fighters '96

Even though Geese is believed to be dead in the Fatal Fury series, he always seems to be alive and well in this series, and this is one of the major points counting toward the theory that this is an alternate universe. Or another major point is that the Jinn scrolls worked, making him immortal. Geese returned to the world's attention when he entered the 1996 King of Fighters tournament, with his underling Mr. Big and half-brother Wolfgang Krauser. [1] Geese's plan to learn about and obtain the power of Orochi failed. He survived an assassination attempt by Mr. Big (with Billy's timely intervention). Geese later returned to Southtown. [2] Year 1996 (MCMXCVI) was a leap year starting on Monday (link will display full 1996 Gregorian calendar). ... Wolfgang Krauser ) is a boss character in SNK Playmores Fatal Fury series. ... Assassin and Assassins redirect here. ...


The King of Fighters '97

The next year, he sent a team to the King of Fighters, consisting of Billy Kane, Blue Mary, and Ryuji Yamazaki in order to find more about Orochi and its power - Billy was meant to keep an eye on Iori Yagami, while Mary was to check on Yamazaki, as both subjects of observation were suspected to be a part of the bloodline. [3] Again, he failed to gain the power of Orochi. Billy Kane (ビリー・カーン) is a video game character in both the Fatal Fury and King of Fighters series. ... For other persons named Mary Ryan, see Mary Ryan (disambiguation). ... Ryuji Yamazaki ) is a video game character from both the Fatal Fury and King of Fighters series. ... Iori Yagami ) is a video game character who made his first appearance in the Neo Geo fighting game, The King of Fighters 95. ...


The King of Fighters 2003

In the King of Fighters 2003 tournament, Geese was the sponsor of the Outlaw team (having Gato, Billy and Yamazaki). [4] It is even more mysterious that Billy was not a bit surprised by Geese's presence in the Outlaw team's story, as if Geese has not been killed. This has led to doubts on whether the KOF storyline is concurrent with the Fatal Fury storyline (i.e. in the same universe).


The King of Fighters Maximum Impact

Geese can be seen in his chair in the "Infernal Gate" stage.


King of Fighters Maximum Impact 2

He is present in this 3D game as a secret character, namely in his Nightmare version (like in RBS).


Appearance And Clothing

The appearance of Geese in the Art of Fighting series was of a young man with long blond hair wearing a light purple and blue suit with red necktie. In Fatal Fury and The King of Fighters, Geese appears older, with short, slicked hair and wearing a white aikido outfit with red hakama and white tabi without sandals. In most games of the Fatal Fury and The King of Fighters series - except Fatal Fury: King of Fighters and The King of Fighters '96 - Geese only wears the red hakama pants with the white gi either not present or hanging off the back/sides. Hakama worn by an aikidoka (left of the picture) An Edo-era kamishimo outfit, consisting of a kataginu (a sleeveless jacket with exaggerated shoulders) (left) and hakama (centre). ...

Special Moves

Reppuken

Geese unleashing a Reppuken against Yuri Sakazaki in King Of Fighters '96.

(烈風拳, or Violent Wind Fist) Geese's signature. He will gather up his Ki energy, open his palm, and unleash a ground-slicing energy projectile, much like Terry Bogard's Power Wave. This move is later learned and practiced by Rugal Bernstein, Adelheid Bernstein and Rock Howard. Image File history File links Geese Howard unleashed his Reppuken move in KOF 96. ... Image File history File links Geese Howard unleashed his Reppuken move in KOF 96. ... The King of Fighters (or KOF for short) is a fighting game series by SNK that debuted in 1994. ...

He, along with his sister, Rose, are the only known children of Rugal Bernstein. ... Rock Howard ) is a video game character who was introduced in SNK Playmores fighting game Garou: Mark of the Wolves, the last chapter in the Fatal Fury series. ...


In KOF '96, Geese's Reppuken did not create a projectile, but instead became a melee-ranged move where he slices with Ki energy, leaving a blue arc. This was also used in Capcom vs SNK for the PSOne and Dreamcast, for Geese's EX form. This same version of the move comes out in SvC: Chaos if the Reppuken is comboed into by another attack. Most recently, KOF XI sees Geese use the projectile-less version.


Double Reppuken

(雙‧烈風拳 Double Violent Wind Fist) Geese will gather Ki energy with both hands, then unleash with the left hand first, forming an energy-wave that stalls on the ground and blocks any enemy fireball. Then he would swing his right arm, combining both of the bursts of Ki energy into a much larger projectile, sending it toward his victim. In Fatal Fury Real Bout Special and in SVC: Chaos, this projectile is even taller than Geese himself. This is a great psyche for keep-away players, as it guards Geese from projectiles while answering with one of his own. Rock can use this version too, although Rugal can't.


In KOF '96, Double Reppuken did not create any projectiles either; instead Geese slices twice with Ki energy. This was also used in Capcom vs SNK for the PSOne and Dreamcast, for Geese's EX form. This same version of the move comes out in SvC: Chaos if the Double Reppuken is comboed into by another attack. Again, the KOF XI version lacks projectiles.


Shippuken

(疾風拳, or Gale Fist) An airborne projectile. Geese fires a ball of Ki energy from the air that is angled downwards towards the opponent. In KoF and SvC:C it dissipates quickly enough not to reach the ground at most heights.


Double Shippuken

(Double Gale Fist) The same move as Shippuken except this time Geese shoots it twice in mid-air.


Jaei Ken

(邪影拳, or Evil Shadow Fists) Gathering Ki energy, Geese rushes towards his opponent and performs a nasty two or three hit combo. Much like the Deadly Rave, the Jaei Ken is used in close range combat with opponents. Another one of Geese's deadly techniques which allows him to dominate at even close range. In Real Bout Fatal Fury Special, Geese used an even stronger Jaei Ken that ended with him body slaming his opponent. Afterwards, he could follow up with a second body slam (Performed by tapping Down+C) that causes a wave of lighting to crash to the ground has he slams his opponent while he yells "Die! Forever!".


Flying Solar Slash

Somewhat similar to Terry Bogard's Power Dunk, Geese leaps into the air to perform an attack, except he slashes with his arm. This move was first seen in Art of Fighting 2, and later brought back in later incarnations of Geese.


Atemi Nage

(當身投, or Countering Throw) One of Geese's many counter moves. He blocks an attack, then slams his opponent into the ground. There are three versions of Atemi Nage, which are: Joudan (Upper), Chuudan (Middle), and Gedan (Lower).


Each blocks a different type of attack, the upper blocking blocks only upper section attacks and vulnerable to attacks that aimed for middle and lower section; the middle blocking technique guards only middle section of Geese, which can counter attacks like jumping attacks and "overhead attacks"; the lower blocking blocks only attacks that are aimed at the character's lower section of the character, for example, crouching kicks and any attacks that had to be blocked crouching. Note that upper section attacks can be block by character either when standing or crouching. Middle section attacks (jump attacks or overhead attacks) can only be block when standing. And, lower section attacks can only be block crouching. Geese's technique Atemi Nage Joudan, Chuudan and Gedan guards the upper, middle and lower section of geese; which can also be blocked standing(or crouching), standing and crouching. The "Atemi Nage"s also counters special attacks with the exception of projectiles. If Geese catches his opponent with this attack, he will often taunt them with an exclamation of "predictable", "too easy!" or "pathetic!"


Rashomon

If close enough, Geese connects with an attack that causes the opponent to hover slightly above the ground. While his opponent floats in place, Geese holds his hands together and charges an energy ball, which he then slams into them. This move made its first appearance in Real Bout 2.


Raging Storm

One of Geese's super moves. Geese raises both hands in the air, then slams them into the ground causing a huge cage or claw of Ki-energy to surround him for a good few seconds, dealing a large amount of damage.


In the Fatal Fury The Motion Picture anime, Geese uses this move to destroy an entire forest. In the Japanese version, he does not yell out the name of the move, but in the English dubbed version he does yell "Raging Storm!"


In all official movelists, the name of this move is "Raising Storm."


Thunder Break

Geese gathers an immense amount of energy and releases multiple lighting bolts that crash to the ground circling around him, devastating anything that touches them. Geese used this move in Real Bout Fatal Fury and Real Bout Fatal Fury Special.


Deadly Rave

Usually Geese's most powerful move, which he allegedly learned after observing Ryo Sakazaki's Ryūko Ranbu technique. Deadly Rave involves Geese shouting the attack's name, dashing toward the opponent, assaulting the victim with a long, powerful combination of attacks, and finishes the maneuver with an energy-bursting palm (Fatal Fury series and CvS/SvC) or an air-slashing strike (Art of Fighting). Ryo Sakazaki , sometimes written as 坂崎 亮 or Sakazaki Ryō) is the main character in Art of Fighting, and one of the main characters in The King of Fighters, both fighting game series from SNK. His name is most often written in kana, however, in some games kanji is used to write... FF may refer to: FF, a value in hexadecimal representing 255 ff (digraph) FF layout, front engine, front drive FF may also be an abbreviation for: Citations and the following (pages, paragraphs, etc. ... Art of Fighting , which literally translates to Fist of the Dragon and Tiger but can also be interpreted as Fist of Two Mighty Rivals) is a trilogy of competitive fighting game titles that were released for the Neo Geo platform in the early 1990s. ...


Depending on the game Geese is in, the attack either goes off automatically or the player needs to input an additional button sequence for it to be fully executed. If the sequence is inputted incorrectly, the move ends; however, players can use the opportunity to combo in extra hits.


Obviously, Geese's Deadly Rave in Capcom vs. SNK 2 inflicts more damage than Rock's Neo Deadly Rave. Variations of this move have been used by Rock Howard, Terry Bogard, Wolfgang Krauser, the Mr. Karate version of Ryo Sakazaki (in NeoGeo Battle Coliseum), Athena Asamiya (her Psychic Nine attack) , and Duck King.

Trivia

  • Although never explicitly stated, Geese bears a striking resemblance to "The Aussie" from the 1988 feature film, Bloodsport. Both are blond-haired white men fighting in an hakama and gi top.
  • Geese is voiced by Kong Kuwata, who also did the voices for Duck King also from Fatal Fury/Garou Densetsu, Oswald from King of Fighters XI, plus Genjuro Kibagami, and Neinhalt Sieger from the Samurai Shodown series. In the OVAs and movie, he is voiced by Hidekatsu Shibata in the Japanese version and Ward Perry in the English version.
  • When Geese is not fighting in his hakama, he is usually shown in games wearing a business suit. In the 3D Fatal Fury: Wild Ambition game, Geese was playable wearing his business suit - this carried over to KoF:MI2, also in 3D.
  • Geese apparently has the Jinn scrolls because in SVC: Chaos, he claims to be "immortal" in some of his quotes.
  • In King of Fighters XI for the PS2, Geese's win quote after defeating Terry shows him wondering why Terry is so surprised to see him, claiming that he already told him that he's immortal. Since Geese is an PS2-exclusive character, it's not sure whether this is canon or not.
  • Geese Howard's fighting style is very similar to action-man Steven Seagal's
  • Geese appears seated in the background of the unlockable Infernal Gate stage in KOF: Maximum Impact. This stage is a version of his Geese Tower background that he has in most of the games he appears in. Coincidentally, the background music of this stage is titled Kiss Geese Once More, and is a remix of his classic theme.
  • Whether or not Geese is alive is a major difference between the branching storylines of the Fatal Fury and King of Fighters series. In the Fatal Fury continuity he's considered dead after that game, but appeared in Real Bout Special as a secret character (his ending involves him saying to Billy Kane "I leave everything to you!" possibly signifying that he is going to go battle Terry and might lose) and is actually playable in Real Bout 2, although he is shown with a Halo above his head, leaving only the Jin scrolls in the seat where that scene takes place. In the KoF games, however, Geese is alive and well, and is involved in the stories of KoF97, and is referred to in KoF 2003, both released after Real Bout. Furthermore, the animated series based on the 3D KoF, Maximum Impact 2, refers Geese's death scene from Terry Bogard's Real Bout ending, but does so through a dream of Rock Howard's where he sees himself in his father's place. However, this series is not part of either game series' canon.
  • Geese has 2 'versions' of the Raging Storm- a cage version which may be considered the original version since it was his super in Fatal Fury 2 Special, and the claw-like version which originates from the Real Bout games.
  • Geese is one of the select few SNK characters to retain a constant theme music, which is "remixed" in each of his appearances. Each version of his theme is titled differently, but always involves something "for Geese" (Geese ni Kissu/A Kiss For Geese, his theme from Art of Fighting; Geese ni Katakori/Stiff Shoulder For Geese, his theme from KOF 96; Geese ni Shouyu/Soy Sauce for Geese, his theme from Fatal Fury). In every version, the song begins with a fast-paced electric guitar, with the main melody being a fast, evil, mostly low-key tune, with different instruments accompanying the guitar in each arrangement. The title has always been been something of an in-joke among SNK staff. This theme has also been covered by Brazilian Video Game Metal band, MegaDriver, called Raging Storm, which is based on Geese's Fatal Fury rendition of his theme. It is on their album, Raging Metal.
  • In KOF: Maximum Impact 2, some of Geese's secret normal outfits make him look like some well-known SNK Playmore bosses: scheme F gives him Goenitz's likeness, while scheme G makes him look like Mukai, while his secret alternate outfits include his younger version (featured in Art of Fighting 2 and KOF: Neowave) and Karman Cole from Art of Fighting 3.
  • There are two South Town locations named after Geese: one is the Howard arena, which has served as a stage for Tung Fu Rue in FF1 and Andy Bogard in FF3, and Geese Tower, the usual location of the battles against him in the Fatal Fury games - his AoF2 stage appears to show plans for its construction.
  • In all of the fighting games that Geese has appeared in since Fatal Fury 2 Special (excluding Art of Fighting 2), the only game in which is Raging Storm super had a different input was in Real Bout Fatal Fury 2.
  • Geese is a secret character in King of Fighters Maximum Impact 2 known as Nightmare Geese. When paired up with Billy Kane in a match the special intro could signify that this is either a ghost form of Geese or literally a nightmare in which the whole battle is just a nightmare. Also in the same game, when challenged by the Meira brothers, both appear shocked to see Geese standing before them. When defeated by Terry Bogard in the same game again, Terry says the following line, "This guy, really is a nightmare!"
  • Geese, along with Wolfgang Krauser and Mr. Big, has been confirmed to appear in The King Of Fighters '98 Ultimate Match as part of the Boss Team.
  • In M.U.G.E.N, he was created into a playable character, renamed Master Geese. The character was quickly given the derogatory nickname of "Master Cheese", due to the fact that many M.U.G.E.N players consider him one of the cheapest characters in existence.
