Just call the split timelines “Schrodinger’s Geese”. Simultaneously alive and dead until you boot up the Character Select screen
That is actually a clever name.

Underrated comment
Lmao, I just made the same joke
I love how Geese and Terry's relationship is literally "How many times do we have to teach you this lesson, old man?!"
I will say this, i love that Geese, unlike quite a few SNK villains, is just a regular guy who grew up poor, he doesn't come from some special family of assassins or with unique abilities, doesn't worship an evil God or demon and thus isn't powered up by any of them, isn't a multiversal being, some kind of ancient race or even enhanced by a secret organization to become a cyborg or given a really good suit.
No, Geese lost a fight with his half brother and decided to learn martial arts until he became a crime boss that, even if he loses, always has a big appearance or the story showcasing him as a mastermind or just damn tough.
At best you can say that he uses magical scrolls a few times, but at least he isn't getting possessed and replaced or worshipping someone else, and he doesn't want to destroy the world or anything, he just wants to be the crime boss, it makes Geese be refreshing and awesome compared to other villains, particularly when it's made clear how he is above average even amongst the strongest fighters in the world despite, again, just being a random guy that grew up poor.
I totally agree.
Couldn't have said it better
Exactly why Geese is my favorite fighting game boss of all time. He’s literally “just a guy”. He’s a mafia/kingpin crime boss who is a great fighter, not because he has a special bloodline or worships an ancient entity or anything, but simply because he got there through hard work and practice of martial arts.
Wouldn't say he's just a random guy. He did train in a dojo that taught supernatural martial arts moves.
I like to think that's why he both dislikes and respects Terry and Ryo. Both are hard workers like him.
Geese is legit the most badass boss in vs fighting ever. And I'm a capcom Guy.
Iam a street fighter , capcom guy all the way, but geese was something different..played snk vs capcom and you can tell Geese is special
same here. Bison was just pussy in comparison
Igniz,Rugal and Orochi:Are we jokes to you?
@@doxiedaddy7784 Rugal is badass too, but not as badass as Geese in my opinion. But Igniz and Orochi were always lame to me. Neither one ever even remotely struck me as “badass” honestly.
Yeah like I enjoy Akuma a lot but Geese is just too sick af. Especially his intro, like come on man the guy radiates badassary
"Geese is dead, and also alive in same time"
*P R E D I C T A B O*
STAND UP!
You forgot to mention his "engrish" is top-notch, like Terry's: "I'll stain my hounds, with your bra!"
It's interesting how, despite Geese being a crime lord and an assassin, knows to treat his underlings with respect, so they respect him the same way. Not even most real life bosses and companies do that.
I always thought he said “I’ll paint my house with your blood” 😂😂😂
If only he could treat his son the same way he treats billy
Geese: "Billy here's your birthday present"
@@brospeed394 Billy is the son he always wanted. Rock is a disgrace from birth.
And what did rock do to be a disgrace@@symbiotegod2069
Untitled Geese Howard Game.
But seriously, there's a *reason* why this man is both respected and feared in SNK's huge library.
The issue with his immortality is explained in a manga that not many fans are aware of, the Garu destiny. The martial emperor - an "ancient powerful being" resurects him and together they plan to rule the world. This happened right after his fall from his tower. Nightmare Geese was a fanmade name given to him by the fans. The creators liked the name and they kept it, making it canon by changing his appearance into a dark version of Geese.
this was also present in real bout 2 as a secret fight, again with an aura under his feet
There's a manga?
@@angelsartandgaming there are many KOF mangas!
@@princeoffriendship I'll have to seek them out! Thanks! ^^
I'm a newcomer fan so I wanna find and play all the things.
Mangas aren't canon, unless SNK aproved
Geese along with Athena is the reason why I got hooked into SNK. When I was an SNK newbie, I watched Maximilian Dood play KoF XIV. There was a character named "Geese", and I asked myself "What does this guy do?"
"DIE FOREVER - RAGING....STOOOORM!"
"Oh."
Geese IMO is the greatest fighting game villain ever because in his words and his actions, he treats you like dirt (Useless...DIE!). You are insignificant to him, and he rubs it in your face. It's quite hilarious that Terry uses English attacks while Geese uses Japanese attacks. I think that's why SNK villains are so likable. They're evil with a sense of humor whether it is due to their personality, their dialogue, or one of their signature moves.
Also, "Geese", while being a common word in the English language, is a surprisingly badass name for a character. You got multiple Terrys, Andys, Joes, Kyos, Ioris, Ryos, Yuris, and so on in various games and media, but when it comes to "Geese", it becomes a singular noun, because there is only one "Geese".
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👌🏿👍🏿
You talk to much
I'm confused, isn't singular geese: goose?
Getting a Double perfect on Geese in Fatal Fury 1 TWICE remains to this day one of my proudest achievements
Can I learn this power?
I will always remember being a kid at the arcade and seeing how many ppl lost to Geese in Fatal Fury 1. He was just so damn cheap!!! Lol,I spent close to $5 trying to beat him but couldn't. Probably still to this day I still can't beat him lol. His reveal in T7 was IMHO one of the best reveals ever in any Fighting game history. The minute those Japanese sliding doors opened in the trailer I was like "Wait a minute.!? I've seen this before.!?" And the rest is history.!
Gr8 video!
I remember the fan theory that Geese is the biological father of Terry and Andy.
He looks exactly like Andy in Art of Fighting 2
Anyway,
The story of the Maximum Impact games was a good followup to the events of Real Bout and a prequel to Garou MOTW
Nightmare Geese was playable in MI2
I have heard this theory, and I like it. It would make Terry and Andy older brothers to Rock
@@mr7oclock346 I know.
Too bad SNK never confirmed that.
@@mr7oclock346 but then terry wouldn't technically be rock's father, and I like the daddy bogard dynamic better.
It's a nice parallel to the theory of Akuma being Ryu's dad.
Nightmare Geese tossing Billy like a ragdoll three times in a row has opened my eyes.
He could do that in his base form as well
12:15-12:26 The first time I watched that scene it didn't make me feel happy or sad. Just nothing.
As if this whole journey was in vain, revenge leads to nothing.
Probably something Terry learned.
The music for that part made it even more emotional and the credits for Fatal Fury Real Bout is one of the most iconic.
Small trivia: Geese's VA sang that song during the credits.
Kong Kuwata. Great artist!
The real OG Boss. Inmortal? Check. Messing with timelines? Check. OP? Check. You just have to love Gesse.
14:46 "Asking 'gently' for his payment." 😂
Gotta love Yamazaki
I never thought Geese and Krauser hated eachother so badly, I swear they talk like actual brothers in KOF 96
I guess they patched up things eventually. Shame that geese never got revenge on krauser's dad though.
@@rodrigomorales563 Krauser killed his father to avenge his mother who died in sorrow after realizing his husband still missed his old wife. Geese lost to Krauser again, even on vengeance.
@@user-to4ns1bj4y I’m pretty sure there friends now
@@user-to4ns1bj4y Krauser 🤝Geese on hating Rudolph Von Stroheim. (not the jojo character tho)
Oh man, it's awesome, Geese is the most iconic vilain of the SNK universe in my opinion, thanks for this video, take care ;)
Thanks, you too!
I think the most iconic snk villain is Rugal but Geese is more badass
Actually the inclusion of Ryo in KOF was what made the timeline split.
If you want the real reason, KOF was sopposed to be a short franchise becouse it was just a celebration of SNK game's,but dou to how succesfull it got, they made an entire series about it.
And with SNK struggling financily they had to rely mostly on KOF game's to stay afloat becouse it just sold well.
Also if im not mistaken Geese was actually a police man,dealing with crime was what made him hook into it.
Geese is Soo OP. He really is the Best Boss in the game
He is tough without question. I've always had a bit more trouble with Rugal, personally.
I remember in the first SNK vs Capcom game it seemed like a random fight against Rugal was harder than the fight against Bison, Geese, or even Akuma
@@mr7oclock346 yhh I remember that too.
Not as OP and annoying as Igniz and Magaki
Only in art of fighting 2. He's beatable in the first fatal fury game. Never fought him in 2002 um.
Every snk boss ever lol🤣
"See you... into a nightmare!"
Geese remains the best boss character, and along with Mr. Big and Krauser, the boss team remains a really cool fanservice
I always liked geese Howard's design especially in his clothes choice it always looked like he was practicing Japanese jiu-jitsu because of the way he dressed and his moves
Ever since I first started playing KOF I thought Geese was the coolest fighting game boss ever.
Boy was I right, cuz I started to main this character in literally any game he’s in.
Yes, even nightmare Geese in the real bout games.
I guess we have to thank Geese for everything, not just that AOF/Fatal Fury & KOF now have separate timelines because of him (Also not because he was the 1st Cheap-Ass Boss in Fighting Games), if it weren't for him SNK would have never be put on the Map.
The toughest boss I've ever faced in a fighting game, and the best theme I've ever heard for a character. Even after all these years he's still a favorite of mine. Didn't give a damn when Akuma appeared in Tekken 7. But when Geese appeared? Made me smile thinking of all those beatings he gave me in Fatal Fury and how much of a beast he was. Only fitting he terrorizes a whole new generation.
So basically Geese is a DOA character lol. All seriousness though Geese is a great character, he's very hateble in story and in gameplay, but you can't take away his lore and backstory how he became that way. Nightmare Geese is a either a manifestation of the Jin scrolls or his Phantom hunting his enemies in their dreams, basically Geese became Freddy Kruger. In the KOF continuity it's manifestation of Nightmare Geese is because of Verse demonic powers due to him absorbing it kinda like Akuma or Rugal in Capcom VS SNK2.
The art used in geese backstory is freaking gorgeous.
Geese is one of my favourite fighting game characters of all time he's a total badass and a cheap a-hole and the fact that he made it in Tekken 7 was also so sick and was the one of the best moments of Evo 2017 and he's also strong in that game despite multiple nerfs.
Geese howard is one of my favorite characters that I studied in the KOF universe. I always loved the villains of KOF like igniz, rugal, Orochi, and Geese Howard.
Dude, *never* stop making these videos! Seriously, not enough people talk about these amazing games, and you're a very good storyteller. Thanks for all this awesome, well-researched content man, look forward to more!
Thanks a ton!
Certainly, they existed ...
Those blinded by ambition,
Those consumed with vengeance.
But here they do not exist.
Only Winners
and losers here.
But here, THE MIGHTY RULE
Garou.....Mark Of The Wolves
Soul Calibur?
@@briannawilson8845 no it's obviously Guilty Gear xrd Rev 2
@@briannawilson8845 really nigga?! 😒
@@madil2259 I love that meme! But yeah, I made a mistake, but it did sort of sounded like something from Soul Calibur.
Dead or Alive.
Now I can imagine Geese as a guest in DOA6
Genderbent Geese for DoA6
Tekken already got him and DOA mainly focused on the female cast like Mai and Kula in DOA6.
it would be Fatal Fury 1 all over again.
Oh God please, anyone else but Geese. He already ruined Tekken 7 for me. 😣
Sadly DoA is all about fan services and boobs.
Geese is the most iconic SNK villain.
Man watching this made me realize how close Geese’s backstory is to Rock’s backstory
“Bring it on! I’ll destroy you all”!- Geese Howard
It's funny that due to KOF's weird sliding "no one ever ages unless we want them to" Rock went from kid in Terry's win pose to full fighting teen in the blink of an eye.
Also since Geese remains alive in the KOF timeline, he essentially just let Terry raise his kid for the heck of it, it seems.
the thing is that Geese was never that present of a father to begin with, so it makes sense that this would happen there as well.
Geese, one of the most charismatic characters of the SNK universe! Also, the pioneer of an iconic move: countering any blow with a block/attack technique! Furthermore, his theme song is one of the best!
I hope people one day release how great your content is , so much love
Thank you so much! That's very kind of you.
In fighting games you can’t put a “good” bad boss character down.
Geese and Rugal for SNK.
Street fighter eventually had M bison canonically killed, but there is no way it would be permanent because of how long and well the dictator has served to be Street fighters longest and most recognizable end boss.
Alumna is evil and can serve as the last boss, but doesn’t have the persona and flare that makes a great boss like Geese, Mbison and Rugal.
I am a Big Geese Howard fan and I loved the story telling and presentation that you did and I was very impressed from the art visuals to the story audio itself with so much detail the only thing that I felt that you left and ironically you used CG of to tell your story was Fatal Fury Wild Ambition(unless I missed over it) and go into depth about his master from that game another time.Thank you for the storied background of Geese Howard the most Badass boss of Fighting Games.
Thank you too.
18:45 Perish, you pinheaded son of an ice cream maker!
I knew that Geese was somehow immortal from the KOF XI win quotes, but I never knew how until this video how that was the case. Maybe we could get a origin video on some of the Garou characters?
Also, can I just say thank you for making these lore videos? KOF has been a huge part of my childhood, and I've always wondered about the origins of certain characters and videos like these are really scarce to find.
You're most welcome.
Why do i keep finding you on every video i watch
Soy Sauce for Geese is so good, it was used multiple times in this video.
Geese is so awesome, and this video was really well done.
Thank you very much!
Geese : *came back to life*
Terry n Andy : "How many times do we have to teach you this lesson old man!?"
Geese: jokes on you, I love fighting you two!
Implying Andy actually fought geese: hilarious.
Nice video, Geese has always been my favorite fighting game villian. His backstory so cool.
Its cool to think Geese is a vengeful Fighting Ghost that always Haut Terry, head canon
I agree.
I really like the special intro Terry has with Nightmare Geese in Maximum Impact 2
No lines just Terry prepare to fight.
Geese is also a constant reminder to terry to not let vengeance and power consume you.At any time geese could of stopped and thought about his family and rock,but his lust for power and to hold grudges may have cost him his life.Something terry thought about while raising rock.
@@michaelwhitmire9015 this simple shows how Good of a man Terry is
19:06
it's called a K.S. (kill secure)
or the player who uses Geese is an expert player that's why...
Geese Howard is a Badass, he's one of my all time favorite fighting game villains
REPPUKEN 🌊
DOUBLE REPUKKEN 🌊🌊
Not only is he an iconic SNK villain but he's also one of the most popular, recognizable and iconic boss characters & villains in fighting game history
This was an awesome storyline as narrated thanks I was already a fan from this character, and found him extremely powerful already in SVC chaos, I didnt play the KOF 2002 UM to know about his nightmar version. But im proud of actually stopping with Gesse the special move from Shin Akuma when he dissapears and then lands on the opponent face with a ton of damage (unblockable)... I just countered that special with the grab anti-air and Ko'ed him
Totally made my day.
Geese is my favorite boss character in fighting games! He's so damn cool 😎
Fell in love with this guy when I was young gamer just learning about other good fighting games after street fighter. Once I got my ass handed I had to unlock him and learn all his move sets. Up to this day if I ever pick up a fighting game with him in it I have to master him to prove I still can play on tournament level even though I never entered an official competition. Geese will always be my #1 main
Geese was not chosen because he use his emotions to control him.
Facts.
This channel is pure gold
Geese is the first antagonist I ever liked in videogames, and still one of my favorites
Geese becomes Dead and Alive like the Emperor from Final Fantasy 2 becomes both the Emperor of Heaven and Hell! I'm a very big fan of Geese and this video does a lot for him. Strangely Geese became so important to South Town that he basically held South Town together. One more thing... wasn't he the police commissioner in Fatal Fury?
Yes he was.
I love Geese fits so well into Tekken, and i believe he can fit in with the lore
Nice video for one of the greatest fighting games character. We can feel the passion. Good job 👍
Thanks for the visit
Glad someone did one of my top favorite villain justice dedicating a whole video to him. Geese is amazing. so much personality and character to him and also he's a major badass fighter. thanks for this!
Oh another idea. I'm also a big fan of M.Bison (Vega) from the SF series. If you can do a video on him someday. Thanks and keep it up!!
come on Snk we all know tha Terry and Andy are Geese's sons :))
Liked, subscribed and shared. Geese is one of my favorites and this video got his story so well. I hope that new fatal fury movies or anime can be produced to explore more in this amazing lore.
Thanks for the support.
Awesome video! Geese is my favorite fighting game character. I knew his death story was all over the place but I didn't care as long as he was playable.
Another great video. Glad to support your channel. Seriously your doing great
Thanks so much for the support.
Geese got abandoned by his father, tried to revenge for that.
An geese left rock alone, ironic
Geese Howard vs Heihachi Mishima Death Battle is finally Happening!
Now we'll see who's the strongest Big Boss in Fighting Game History!
I love that you just helped me understand many things😍🤩🤩
Best villain, getting the tribute he deserves. Really appreciate you showing off Nightmare Geese '02UM there, too.
You're easily in my top 5 favorite UA-camrs. Amazing video, dude.
Umm... I hate to be that guy but... Are you still making games?
@@Freefork Right now, I'm on hiatus. Medical school has been keeping me pretty busy. I'm hoping to get an update video on the channel eventually. 😅
@@Wukeywukey Alright, take your time... WAIT A MINUTE, MEDICAL SCHOOL? Bro, you put in the work. Good job!
@@Freefork Thank you! 😁
Wow, thanks a lot for the kind comment!
Awesome video. Interesting all this Geese's timelines.
Thanks!
Hell yes, Sir. Been waiting on this one. No boss has anything on Geese. Raging storm is my favorite special.... Ever. The thing I like most about him is his simplicity. Unlike other bosses in the persistent universe, Geese hones his skills, never bowing to dark gods or technology. His fighting style has a very real, Akido/Judo feel to it, with his throws, counters and traditional attire. (I don't count "Nightmare Geese")
It's a really nice video about a really good villain , great job 👏
I'm glad you like it
Imo, Geese is prolly one of if not the most well written villain in fighting games.
ah yes my second fav villain the mr.fall building
Oh how great it would have been if they had included a version of Geese in KOF XIII. That would have been beautiful! I don't play him that much but I sure do love his story.
Great vieo as always!
He was originally planned to be included in XIII.
@@ShoryuGame Wow, I didn't know. What a shame that he didn't make it to the final roster.
I'v been waiting for This .... thanks you for the great content
My pleasure!
I can’t believe I’m saying this but poor Geese. I never knew he had a crappy father and half-brother. I wish the former will get his.
Thanks for making the video of OG OP boss in a fighting game.
You're welcome.
I was waiting for this
Akuma,Geese,Noctis and Heihachi in the same game...
Bamco is something.
Also PREDICTABO!!
... Also something about Untitled Goose game
Was expecting part 2 of Metal Slug but this is also good content~
It's still coming, don't worry.
Love your vids they help a lot....We need KOF 15 hopefully it still come out
It's funny cause at first it was easy to accept that Real Bout Fatal Fury just took place after KOF 96 or 97... but then they kept including him in more and more games, either as the guy setting up teams in the back story, or actually back in the ring like in KOF 14.
I always wondered if the average joe knew Geese was a fighter and not just some business man. I assume only the main characters know he's evil and corrupt but the typical South Town person would think Geese is a cool and respectable person. I'm assuming KOF 96 was the first time Geese (and I guess Mr. Big) fought in front of the general public.
AMAZING WORK TRULY AMAZING TY FOR THIS LOVED EVERY SEC
Thank you too!
Note that Ronette Sakazaki(Takuma's wife, Ryo and Yuri's mother)died when Geese went to Germany and met Krauser.
This is one of my favorite fighting game characters so thinks for this vid great job
Glad you enjoyed!
For some reason, I can picture Michael Wincott playing a live action version of and even doing an English dub for Geese Howard
great video man
Appreciate it!
Best Geese Howard video I have seen so far. Here is my like and subscription good men.
Thanks and welcome
Love the captions in the video.
Ah, clips from KOF Destiny ? NEAT ! Honestly, it was damn enjoyable. Geese and Rugal's coolness were off the charts (one being sympathetic and yet needing to be put down while the latter had far more money and sadism than common sense...) and Kyo was actually likable in it ! Can't wait for what they will do with Goenitz...
When does season 2 start....I'm pretty excited
I can't believe I been subscribed to you for a year
Thanks for the support.
I love your videos my friend. I think it would be cool too if you added a source for your references. Cause sometimes I watch these and be like what game did this come from or manga or whatever so I can read into it to for fun. I know fighting game stories may not intend for a complete narrative but at the same time just knowing where is fun for me as well.
Great vid the OG SNK boss one of my favorites and occasionally my mains in KOF I tend to pick other characters in FF if he’s playable as I hate doppelgänger final matches. I still need to play AOF2 I have AOF1 on SNES. You should do Tung Fu Rue, Wolfgang Krauser, Kain R Heinlein, Chin Gentsai, Goenitz, Mature and Vice, and Saiki.
Geese is the reason why i love SNK games i was andstill obsessed with FF and AOF franchise ❤
Great video!
Thanks!
Geeese!!! "Stand up!"
My favourite characther, thanks a lot!
Did you think that the interest that Geese show about Verse and the dead warriors' souls inside him is related with a (possible) future return of Jeff Bogard?
And what about an all-new KoF team with Geese, Jeff and Cheng? 😅
It will be hard to convince Jeff to team up with his killer.
"Hey, sorry for the murder...we have a common enemy!" 😂
Right, it will be hard to convince Jeff...
Better use him in an all-Bogard team.
Since my childhood he was just a handsome guy in my eyes...
This continuity error was fixed in SNK heroines tag team frenzy where the events of real bout fatal fury happen but geese survived instead.
this is so damn kool. what a great story. thanks as always!
My pleasure.
Awesome video 👍🏻
Thank you 👍
Awesome as always brother ❤❤ i love to watch ur videos..keep it up.... Can't wait to see a video on Goenitz one-day 😸😸😸❤❤❤
Thanks a lot.
