Historical Background (SNK IP & KOF ’98 UM)

• The Franchise & The Team: Before The King of Fighters became a massive crossover event, these three were the original stars of SNK’s very first fighting game franchise, Fatal Fury. The Bogard brothers (Terry and Andy) originally teamed up with their best friend (Joe) to enter a martial arts tournament in South Town to defeat the crime boss Geese Howard and avenge the murder of the Bogards’ adoptive father.

• KOF Legacy: Because of their massive popularity, the Fatal Fury Team has appeared in almost every single iteration of The King of Fighters. They are known as one of the most balanced, formidable, and fiercely loyal teams in the entire SNK universe, blending Terry’s street brawling, Andy’s lethal assassinations arts, and Joe’s brutal kickboxing into a perfect trio.
