Real Bout Fatal Fury 2/Geese Howard

Gameplay Overview

Geese Howard is a man who needs no introduction. His normally sizable movelist has been slimmed down compared to previous entries; his combos are generally short, and he also has far fewer special moves than most other characters in Real Bout 2. But that's not stopping him from being arguably the best character in the game. Command grabs are incredibly powerful, and Geese gets to command grab you from basically halfscreen. That alone would put him close to S tier, but he also has great damage off of small openings thanks to his powerful Pursuit attack that can be set up off of various knockdowns. Geese either outright ignores the rules of the game or enforces them on the opponent to an insane degree. He's the perfect pick for people who can handle having a specialized toolkit in exchange for dominating neutral and offensive prowess.

Pros

Cons

Lightning Spin Kick is an advancing normal that's plus on block, has a huge kara cancel window, and leads to a combo if it hits. The best command grabs in the entire roster, with two incredibly reliable options in Vacuum Throw and Rashomon Frame 1 catch counters that immediately reverse the game's momentum and set up Geese's offense very well Strong, utilitarian normals Divine Punishment is the most damaging Pursuit in the game, and is an extremely consistent combo tool

Limited toolkit; not much variety in special moves or combo chains Defensive options require a hard guess or meter to work No invincible attacks outside of Breakshot Reppuken
