The King of Fighters XI/Geese Howard

The infamous and fan favorite antagonist from Fatal Fury, KOF 96/XIV, Art of Fighting 2, and Tekken 7 reappears yet again in the PS2 & Japanese PS3/PSN version of KOF XI as a bonus character.

He’s noticeably somewhat different than the other bonus characters, however: while his appearance is mostly based on his appearance from Neo Geo Battle Coliseum, his actual moveset has received a noticeable overhaul, noticeably changing his Reppuken and Shippuken animations to the ones from KOF 96, and replacing his red Level 2 Raging Storm with the one from Real Bout Special/2.

Body Tosses

Tiger Slayer - Near opponent, press back or forward + C or D

Special Moves

Reppuken - qcf + A (the short ranged one from KOF 96)

Double Reppuken - qcf + C (Also the short ranged one from KOF 96, Geese stands in place when doing both versions)

Shippuken - During jump, qcb + A or C (Yes, this one is the KOF 96 version, too. Geese also doesn't lose any of his current jumping momentum while using it, which is good for keep away, but not so good when there's a projectile on the screen and your trying to slow your decent to avoid it. Since in this game, you can't really use Shippuken to do that.)

Evil Shadow Smasher - hcb + A or C (SC)
