Rock Howard
Terry’s protegee and Geese Howard’s son,City of the Wolvesmarks Rock’s second outing as the series’ co-protagonist. Like inGarou: Mark of the Wolves, he seems to be a rushdown character capable of excelling by both keeping opponents in check and closing the distance fast. As you can see below, he still retains his original moves, as well as the ones learned from Terry and inherited through his blood.
Terry Bogard
It wouldn’t be aFatal Furytitle without the Hungry Wolf, am I right? Not much is known about Terry’s story within the game, except for the fact that he spent years fighting after he and his disciple went their separate ways in the previous entry. As you can see below, he seems to continue his streak as the ideal all-rounder, being able to fit both aggressive and more reactive playstyles.
Preecha
Making her debut in the franchise, Preecha is both a talented scientist and Joe Higashi’s pupil. She makes use of an adapted form of Muay Thai in combat and as we could expect, seems to play similarly to how her master does. you’re able to check out her gameplay in the trailer below:
Hotaru Futaba
One of the best characters among theMark of the Wolvesroster, Hotaru Futaba returns, this time set to once and for all get her older brother back. As their stories are deeply intertwined, her summary all but confirms Gato as part of the game’s main roster. you’re able to check out Futaba’s moveset in the trailer below.
Tizoc
A soon-to-be main for many of the King and Zangief players we all love to face, Tizoc also returns inCoTW. Now back into the ring for good, The Griffen Mask joins the newly announced KOF tournament to lift the spirits of one of his fans. you may see a glimpse of his moveset in the trailer below:
Marco Rodrigues
City of the Wolvesmarks Marco’s first appearance in any SNK game since 2006’sSNK Vs. Capcom: Card Fighters Clash DS. Once more making use of Kyokugen Karate, the Brazilian sensei enters the new KOF tournament in the hopes of both recovering his stolen Dojo sign and spreading the word about his fighting style.
B. Jenet
A fan favorite since her debut inMark of the Wolves, it was clear that B. Jenet would return onCoTW. This time, the captain of the Lillien Knights joins the KOF tournament for a chance to face both Grant and Kai again. As you can see in the trailer below, she seems to have access to most of her previous moves. But she won’t be limited to them, as showcased by the counter that took the internet by storm since her reveal.
Vox Reaper
An assassin for hire, who is taken under Grant’s wing after failing to killMark of the Wolves‘ villain Kain R. Heinlein, Vox Reaper features what I can only call a caffeine-infused version of his master’s playstyle. His motivation in the game seems to be to both honor Grant’s wishes and see Kai’s ambitions fulfilled.
Kevin Rian
AMoTWtop-tier whose fighting style mixes grabs, heavy hits, and a lot of explosions, Kevin Rian returns inCity of the Wolves. His goal? To find Freeman —the man responsible for the death of his best friend. Like with Gato and Futaba, his summary heavily hints at his rival’s presence within the game’s main roster.
Billy Kane
After being left out of the previous entry, Billy Kane and his bo staff are back. Now the leader of the Howard Connection and carrying the responsibility of keeping his master’s empire alive, Billy joins the tournament for one reason above all, to hunt the Legendary Hungry Wolf.
Mai Shiranui
The heir to the Shiranui-style ninjutsu, Mai returns to theFatal Furyfranchise after her unexpected exclusion fromMark of the Wolves. Now donning a new look and using an even more refined version of her explosive fighting style, she arrives in South Town after following an important tip-off from Sokaku Mochizuki. Although their stories have been deeply intertwined since Mai’s debut, it’s still unknown if Andy will be featured as part of the game’s base roster.
