"I have been around since the days of Street Fighter 2, but I guess Ken was always the favored blond in the arcades. Who am I?"
Terry Bogard, the one and only motha F'n lone wolf! Terry is one of my all time favorite characters in video games. The dude is pretty much the American equivalent to Ryu from Street Fighter, just walks around the country, trains like crazy, and is always looking for the next tougher opponent so he can raise his skill level another notch. Badass. Not only that, just when I thought he couldn't get any cooler SNK totally remade him when they came out with Mark of the Wolves, and once again Terry was kick'n ass like nobodies business. Then I guess the question you have to ask yourself is, how in the hell do you REDUX a character as iconic as Terry Bogard? Simple answer is, you can't. But what the hell I gave it a shot anyway. Now my biggest gripe with SNK is they don't evolve characters much, and when they try to like falcoon did with those crazy KOF 2006 costumes, it was WAAY overboard. So what does SNK do for KOF 12? They bring old terry back So what I decided to do was mix the old and the new. I realized I couldn't go all flight jacket with terry cause SNK already did that. And I knew I couldn't go with sneakers and baseball cap because he is just to old to wear them now, so I combined his two looks. You got Terry without the hat, but still keeping his longer hair. And instead of the Red vest and sneakers, you have a leather vest which takes the place of his bomber jacket. I still needed to keep his color scheme though so I added his fight gloves to bring back the red to the scheme. And of course you can't have Terry Bogard without the jeans. This was a tough one to REDUX for me because he is so iconic, but I am happy with the compromise. -DN KOF REDUX Series: Shingo Yabuki Mai Shiranui Rock Howard Blue Mary K Vice Joe Higashi Kula Daimond Kyo Kusanagi Whip Geese Howard King Sie Kensou Leona Heidern Ryuji Yamazaki Yuri Sakazaki Ryo Sakazaki Vanessa Oswald Mature Ralf Angel Iori Athena K9999 Elisabeth Andy Nagase Ash Kasumi Benimaru Lien Neville |

hah so busy so busy......
All in all, I love it. I think it captures him perfectly. As Terry was, effectively, the epitome of an American in the eyes of the Japanese who designed him (as I've read is the claim in several KOF sites), the style you have suits him well. I'm not too big on leather, but it fits here, and the boots are a nice touch, I think they work really well.
I do have to say, though, that I'm not terribly thrilled about the torn jeans. Terry may have not been the most sharply dressed person out there, but he was never the 'trashy' type, so I'm not so sure it fits.
Nevertheless, a worthy addition of a worthy character. Props!
