Terry Bogard Punches His Way Into Street Fighter 6 as First-Ever Guest Fighter

Street Fighter fans, it’s time to pop a collar and crack a Power Geyser, because Terry Bogard—the Legendary Hungry Wolf from Fatal Fury—has just joined the roster of Street Fighter 6. That’s right, for the first time in Street Fighter history, we’re getting a guest fighter, and who better to make that iconic debut than Terry himself?

Now available across PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam, Terry brings the heat with his signature moves and energy-fueled fighting style that fans of classic SNK games will instantly recognize. Whether you’re a veteran of the King of Fighters or Fatal Fury franchises, or just itching to try out a new character, there’s no denying the level of excitement Terry brings to the already stacked Street Fighter 6 roster.

What Makes Terry Bogard a Perfect Fit?

Terry is well-known for his straightforward, hard-hitting approach to fights. With moves like the “Burn Knuckle,” “Crack Shoot,” and, of course, his devastating “Buster Wolf,” Terry’s aggressive offensive style is exactly what you’d expect from the man who grew up brawling in the streets of South Town. His inclusion in Street Fighter 6 is sure to shake up the meta, especially if you’re someone who’s been banking on more long-range or methodical characters.

Unlike Ryu’s more measured, disciplined approach or Chun-Li’s speed and technicality, Terry’s a brawler. He thrives when he’s up close, in your face, and dropping powerful specials. But don’t think you can just blindly spam power moves—Terry’s got nuance too. His Power Wave projectile can keep opponents on their toes, and his Rising Tackle serves as an excellent anti-air.

A Big Moment for Crossovers

This is a massive moment for Street Fighter fans. Crossing over characters between major fighting game franchises is something we’ve been seeing more of in recent years, but Street Fighter traditionally steered away from adding external fighters to its roster. The fact that Terry is the first-ever guest fighter is a huge deal—and it leaves the door wide open for future possibilities. Just imagine who else could eventually make the jump into the Street Fighter universe.

Tips for Playing Terry in Street Fighter 6

If you’re not familiar with Terry Bogard’s playstyle, you’ll want to get familiar with the fundamentals fast. Here are a few tips to get you started:

  1. Master the Crack Shoot: Terry’s Crack Shoot is incredibly versatile—it’s great for hopping over low attacks or getting in on an opponent quickly. Use it to interrupt an enemy’s rhythm, but don’t over-rely on it, or you’ll leave yourself exposed.

  2. Combo into Power Geyser: Terry’s Power Geyser is one of his hard-hitting supers and works great as a finisher during combos. Practice timing it well after a Burn Knuckle or basic combo string for maximum damage.

  3. Zone with Power Wave: While Terry’s at his best when up close, his Power Wave can help you control space and force opponents into making the first move. Keep juggling between short-distance rushes and long-range mind games to keep your foes guessing.

  4. Rising Tackle for Anti-Air: When opponents get overzealous with jumping in, hit them with a well-placed Rising Tackle. It’s quick and does enough damage to make them think twice before trying to dive on you again.
