| cons= * '''Heavy Counter Scaling:''' All of Geese's counters that lead to combos and follow-ups add a great deal of damage scaling to anything that they lead into, and while Geese has a wide variety of combo options, many of them will end up costing you damage in the end. The fact that he can get combos after them at all can be considered a blessing, however.

* '''Damage vs. Oki:''' Geese's damage output in combos seems to be balanced factoring in his OTG grab in mind. Unfortunately your knockdown advantage after landing this grab is terrible, and it also switches sides. This means Geese has to give up significant damage for better oki and vice versa.
* '''No Meterless Reversals:''' Though Geese's defense is incredible overall, his wakeup game is limited to metered options only which don't cover jumps or delayed oki.

Geese Howard is the overseer of the Howard Connection and a supreme power behind the scenes in South Town. He is well versed in ancient Japanese martial arts and specializes in countering opponents’ attacks with devastating throws. He exudes an overwhelming presence as a charismatic figure of evil.
Jump: 42f Hop: 33f Backdash: 22f Run Speed Ranking: 7
Notorious for his array of near-instant counter throws, Geese is not only capable of shutting down aggressive opponents but is also a master at dominating opponents with weak defense.
Geese's normals on the ground as well as in the air are all excellent, with considerably long range. His grounded normals have great cancel options for when Geese goes on the offense; he even has a command cancellable st.B, a rare characteristic among the KoF cast. Having this option allows Geese to create lengthy frame traps with his Fudou Ken (214P) rekka, with numerous follow-ups that can hit low or overhead all while leading to a hard knockdown. Geese can end it there and leave himself with a significant frame advantage, or he can extend his damage output with his Raimei Gouha Nage (6246P) OTG throw.
Should Geese find himself unable to find a way in on an opponent, he can easily resort to his reliable fireballs. His Reppuken (236P) comes in two forms: the A version is fast with quick recovery, and the C version hits twice and snuffs out other fireballs, allowing Geese to win zoning wars without having to spend meter. His Shippuu Ken (j.214P) is an excellent aerial fireball that makes it even harder for opponents to approach Geese.
If the opponent gets too predictable with their offense, Geese has a multitude of ways to shut them down. His Atemi counter throws (624B/D / 426D) have lengthy active windows, near-instant startup, and lead to hard knockdowns. If guessing which counter to use isn't your cup of tea, his Oni Hanmon (2624K) super special will counter any physical move without exception, all the while doing massive damage. Geese can spend even more meter to obliterate opponents with annoying pressure by using Rashoumon (2624CD), a frame-1, extremely damaging command grab that is sure to ruin the opponent's day if they happened to be in range.
Overall, Geese is an extraordinary defensive character that is simple enough to be effective in the hands of beginners, while more seasoned players can utilize his counter throws and frametraps to become the ultimate nightmare.
Geese Howard is a versatile character who excels at punishing predictable offense while also being a powerful zoner in his own right.
Pros
Cons
Ridiculous Defense: Geese is a defensive powerhouse. Armed with an array of frame 1 counters and counter supers that lead to combos, knockdowns, or tons of damage, he can keep the opponent guessing on their offense and change the flow of the match in an instant with a well placed counter. But this alone would only be powerful for hard reads, so of course Geese sports some of the best abare in the entire game. With gigantic, fast lights that convert from any connection range, a supermassive 2C, and fantastic hop checks, keeping Geese locked down can require a nearly annoying amount of enforcement.
Fantastic All-Rounder: Geese can play any position and accommodate any playstyle extremely well. Despite him historically strong as a point character, he can play both other positions with great ease, fitting them very well. While he is a beast on defense and in neutral, he can press a deadly, menacing offense that the opponent must respect. Additionally, if played Mid or Anchor, Geese gains access to devastatingly powerful 4 and 5 bar combos, making his offense all the scarier and making attempting any attack he can mid counter all the more risky.
Incredible Neutral: Geese sports an outstanding neutral game that makes getting in on him an overwhelming nuisance. First off, just about every button Geese has is useful or incredible. His standing D and crouching C make for VERY reliable anti-air pokes; his crouching D is a long-reaching, forward moving sweep the likes of which other characters lost in the patch that introduced him; his close C is fast, leads to big damage, and can even stuff hops; his lights are large and convert incredibly easily; AND he does not possess a single aerial that doesn't have practical application: j.A is a fast normal that combos into EX Shippuken; j.B is a highly effective cross-up; j.C hits multiple times and guarantees a combo on landing, no real timing required; j.D is yet another cross-up from full jumps that leads to bigger damage combos; and j.CD is both huge and oppressive. Finally, 6B gives Geese a very long range, very active, high coverage max cancel option that is crazy safe - and is also fantastic for maintaining offense after landing 2D. Better yet, Geese also has incredible specials for his neutral as well as some of the best cancel and whiff cancel options of the whole cast. 214A covers hops, while also resetting to neutral with its insane pushback on block, and is a very important part of his conversion potential. j.214A grants Geese a way to instantly create near full screen space, and requires a hard read for his opponents to punish him for it. Reppuken is very fast, and the A version recovers quite fast for a fireball. The C version has the properties of an EX fireball without costing the meter for one, allowing him to counterzone easily as well. All of these tools give Geese practically no shortcomings in neutral, and gives him a very safe and strong presence no matter where he is on screen.
Safe, Efficient Pressure: 214A makes Geese's stagger pressure overwhelmingly threatening, as any frametrap he does will go into damage, even accidental ones. It also is excessively safe and pushes him back to a great spot for his giant normals, allowing him to spacing trap most of the cast even though he's minus after it. With 3 bars, he gets access to a command grab that deals 500 damage, which allows him to have extreme threat on anchor vs anchor battles. Geese also has an overhead that lands itself on the quicker side, as well as giving him an HKD that he can follow up with his OTG grab.
Anti-Safejump: Geese has a selection of metered frame 1 counters to beat safejumps with, allowing him to jumpscare people with high, side-switching damage.
No Meterless Reversals: Though Geese's defense is incredible overall, his wakeup game is limited to metered options only which don't cover jumps or delayed oki.

Hits multiple times, up to three times on a standing tall opponent if done from a hop
Long startup, but once the attack starts it keeps going until Geese lands.
Guarantees a combo if it hits.
Full jump version applies damage scaling.
A slow, but powerful jump-in that hits up to three times, practically guaranteeing a combo if it lands. Deals more damage than average if all three hits land. Geese will lose out on a small amount of damage if the third hit doesn't land.

Lacks special cancel properties, but can cancel into his OTG grab, even on whiff.
Is MAX cancellable, serving as a stronger replacement for 6A in MAX confirm combos.
Safe enough on block that you can counter the opponent's attempt at a punish if you guess their response correctly.
Mainly used for Super Special/Quick Max confirms, as an ender for small blockstrings, or to get closer to the opponent to perform his OTG grab, which is the only special this move cancels into. Due to its generous forward movement (about half screen), it can be spaced out to be up to +2 on block.

Always causes a spiked hard knockdown on airborne opponents.
Mostly standard overhead/combo extender. Causes a hard knockdown on raw hit. Main move for combos/blockstrings. When used as a mixup 6A has relatively low reward, as the hard knockdown property prevents Geese from getting any Quick Max or super combos off of it. He can, however, tack on additional damage with his OTG grab.

Reppuken is a very strong and valuable space control tool, useful for keeping the opponent away as well as snuffing out their own fireballs. While other characters have the technique (Rugal, Rock), Geese's version has unique attributes that strengthen his zoning abilities.
236A: A very fast projectile with equally fast recovery. It is also very safe on block at just -4 at point-blank range. This also allows Geese to space himself out far enough during blockstrings to end his blockstrings at plus frames without having to spend meter. 214A is typically preferred as a combo ender, however.
236C: Basically a free EX projectile, Double Reppuken is an excellent overall projectile. It stuffs out meterless projectiles, and also knocks down, much like an EX fireball. It also has a startup stationary hitbox that hits opponents up close and allows it to combo from light attacks at point blank.
236AC: Improves upon 236C in every way possible. 236AC (EX Double Reppuken) is faster in terms of both startup and recovery, and has a larger startup hitbox than 236C, which makes it easier to use as a combo ender. It also has juggle properties, which is important for corner combos.

Geese throws a fireball from the air, bouncing backward as he does so.
Normal versions bounce Geese away, EX retains his jump momentum.
Brief recovery on landing.
A version has shorter recoil, but more recovery on landing. C version bounces Geese up higher, but has less recovery on landing.
Has a much smaller hitbox than its appearance implies.
Shippuken is a powerful projectile that strengthens Geese's zoning game as well as his offense. Rather than halt his momentum entirely, Shippuken will bounce Geese away from the opponent after startup, allowing him to keep his distance. Meanwhile, EX Shippuken will retain Geese's jump momentum entirely, which also makes it a great pressure tool, as it is significantly plus the lower Geese is to the ground.
One thing to note, however, is that Geese will float a noticeable amount after using Shippuken, which leaves him quite vulnerable after using the move. If Shippuken were to whiff, for example, Geese would be left wide open for a highly damaging punish. Therefore, you should exercise caution with Shippuken so as to not get punished while trying to zone the opponent. This issue can be avoided by spending meter, but there is really not much of a good reason to be spending meter on zoning with Shippuken.

Fudou Ken is a multi-purpose tool that can be used as a neutral poke, as a combo ender, or for mixups. With meter, it's a very important combo extender that forms the basis of his metered combos. All followups for Fudou Ken are very unsafe on block.
214A: An extremely fast strike at 8 frames of startup. Despite being -4 on block, the pushback prevents Geese from being punished by any 4-frame buttons, making it an incredibly safe blockstring ender. 214A is Geese's go-to special for basic combos and pestering the opponent.
214C: A slower strike with twice the startup, meaning it can only combo from heavy attacks, but has three different followups—a mid, a low, and an overhead—that all lead to hard knockdowns and can be used as combo enders or as a mixup. C Fudou Ken has higher pushback than A Fudou Ken, but also has a higher frame disadvantage and can be punished by fast, long-reaching buttons, such as some 5Bs.
214AC: A fast crumpling attack that has the same followups as C Fudou Ken, but the followups have slightly lower disadvantage (though still very unsafe). AC Fudou Ken also has almost no pushback and has twice the disadvantage as A Fudou Ken on block, making it very easy to punish.

Cannot be followed up after a successful counter whatsoever.
All versions switch sides.
The most well-known of Geese's counters, largely because it's the one players end up seeing the most. This catches any and all physical specials, supers, Climaxes, and aerials. As these are among the easiest moves to counter, this tends to be the easiest of Geese's counters to pull off. Unlike many other counters, upon activation Geese will immediately put the opponent in a throw state regardless of the attack it stops, rather than simply launching an attack. The EX version catches everything but lows, and comes out frame 1. In most cases, Jyoudan Atemi will be a better option than Oni Hanmon, as you're spending half the meter for only slightly less damage.

Counters all mid/overhead ground normal attacks.
Switches sides and leaves the opponent wide open with a +20 frame advantage.
Applies a scaling penalty to the following hits, starting at 15%.
Switches sides and allows for a full combo. You can run and use cl.C to punish them, but if you can't land it, use cr.C instead, there isn't much difference. If you want the MAXIMUM damage and meter build, you can do a short hop into j.HP and then use cl.C, but the timing is tight. Any combo you follow up with will be heavily scaled down in damage, so you'll need to decide what will get you the damage you want vs. how much meter you want to spend on reduced damage.

Counters all low physical attacks. Knocks the opponent to the other side of the screen.
Launches opponent fullscreen. Can be followed up with an OTG grab or Raging Storm in the corner, and this time the Raging Storm does not scale, allowing for some pretty crazy damage in the corner off a countered low. The normal version comes out 1 frame sooner than most crouching lows, but the EX version is your best bet for catching people trying to low confirm on your wakeup.
The EX version deals more damage than many characters' Supers, and has the longest active period out of any of his counters. If you're going to go for a low counter, there's very little reason (aside from having no meter) not to go for the EX version. Especially against characters that heavily rely on low pokes and confirms. Making this move a regular part of your gameplan can have devastating results in certain matchups. A sweeping Clark or Shermie, or a Kula mashing Cr.B, will need to fear losing almost a quarter of their health for sticking their foot out at you.

Geese grabs the opponent off the ground and slams them back down.
EX version does a minimum of 60 damage.
Normal version sideswitches, EX does not.
This move only functions as an OTG, so nothing will happen if the opponent hasn't been knocked down.
OTG grab. Most of Geese's combos end in a hard knockdown that should give you time to run up and grab with this unless you're the one with your back to the corner. While this usually tacks on a considerable amount of damage (often the equivalent of spending an EX in a combo), your advantage after is very minimal and you switch sides, potentially losing the corner if you pushed them there. Consider that before going for this every time possible.
If you can spare half a bar, EX is preferable as it does more damage, and doesn't side-switch, so you don't lose the corner. You'll also have significantly more frame advantage, as well.

C is a great oki tool, if it crosses up its plus but if it doesn't its neutral. Groundbounces on counterhit, and can still combo into the EX version for another groundbounce.
EX is your go-to combo extender for 0.5 - 3 bar combos.
Hishou Nichirin Zan is a rather unorthodox pressure tool that you probably won't often see meterless, as 214A is usually a better option. Despite appearances, Hishou Nichirin Zan is not an anti-air whatsoever, and unlike in previous games, it does not have multiple hits and cannot be combo'd into unless you spend meter. Both of the meterless versions leave noticeable gaps in blockstrings that can be punished, though Geese flies relatively high before the attack that can make punishing it difficult.
623A: Soft knockdown. One of Geese's safest blockstring enders, especially if the opponent is crouching, but is otherwise lackluster. Prevents 623AC from being used in the combo if it hits.
623C: Hard knockdown. Very lengthy startup, but is even on block on standing opponents, and +2 on crouching opponents. Groundbounces the opponent if it counterhits, which can lead to some highly damaging punishes. Can be followed up by 623AC. If the opponent has been wallsplatted (after st.CD, for example) 623C will launch the opponent higher up, allowing Geese to get damaging extensions off of his st.CD in the corner.
623AC: Groundbounces into a hard knockdown. Geese's strongest combo extender that does more damage than 214AC > 6P, so you'll probably want to use this in 0.5 bar combos.

Values in [] represent damage when the move OTGs.
Loses a huge amount of damage if used to OTG.
Incredibly fast projectile super, able to punish most zoning on reaction. The Level 2 version is even faster, making it one of the fastest projectiles in the game. If attempting a Climax Cancel into Raging Storm, the move must be performed the moment Geese fires the shot (so right as the super flash and windup animation end). The hitbox on the projectile is actually significantly larger if cancelled into, allowing this move to be comboed into from Fudo Ken follow-ups that would otherwise knock the opponent out of its range.
While this move can OTG, it is very meter inefficient to do so. The OTG version of this move can also climax cancel and combo into Raging Storm, but it should be also be avoided due to the heavy scaling to Raging Storm specific to this OTG route. It is essential to use routes that avoid OTG Raigou Reppuken or simply going straight into Raging Storm for more damage.

Counters all physical attacks.
Can only combo into Raging Storm.
A frame-1 counter that parries any physical move without exception, dealing 20%-35% if it lands. Unlike Jyoudan Atemi, Oni Hanmon can be followed up with Raging Storm, dealing up to 65.5% from a counter. Oni Hanmon is harder to notice than Geese's other counter throws, with only a faint sound effect that can easily be drowned out by the rest of the game followed by a pose. It is slightly more prone to being punished, however, as it has a smaller counter window than his Atemi counters and longer recovery. While it is easier to catch the opponents attacks with Oni Hanmon, it is as high risk, high reward as his other counters.

This move can OTG without any additional scaling penalty. However, if climaxed cancelled into off an OTG Raigou Reppuu Ken, an additional 30% scaling is applied.
As a nod to this move's traditional input, it is possible to input this as 1632143CD.
Geese's iconic, signature super. Has decently quick startup, but this also means that it has less invulnerability than other Climax supers. However, that doesn't matter much, as Raging Storm is essentially a massive active hitbox after startup.

Command grab, cannot be dodged whatsoever after super flash.
Can be comboed into, but there really isn't any combo that leads into it that does anywhere near the damage gained from a 3-bar combo into Raging Storm.
Leans on the larger side of command grabs, though the range is still not great
A frame-1 command grab with full-body invincibility on its first four frames, allowing it to snuff out any of the opponent's attacks while Geese is defending himself. It also does immense damage, taking away 50% of the opponent's total health in an instant. Overall, this is the most damaging Climax super in the game by a decent margin, and probably one of the scariest.
While it can be canceled into, it won't connect against opponents in blockstun, and regardless, in most scenarios you'll be losing out on damage since it doesn't connect on airborne opponents (including grounded opponents who have been knocked down). You are better off using Raging Storm for combos, and Rashoumon for sudden mixups.
