Terry Bogard, the fourth Fighter’s Pass character, is available today.

In today’s livestream (though the video was actually recorded a month ago), series producer Masahiro Sakurai showcased the Fatal Fury and King of Fighters character’s various features and moveset.

In a first for the Smash Bros series, Terry has a different back special to his front special. He also has super special moves that can be activated when his damage passes 100%. His King of Fighters stage features walls at the edge of the stage that can be broken for an instant KO, similar to the old Neo Geo entries in the series. Different characters from Fatal Fury and King of Fighters will show up to spectate too, depending on which track is playing.

In another neat touch, his classic mode path is made entirely of stamina battles. Alongside the character and stage, there’s an incredible total of 50 tracks from across SNK’s history included in the package, as well as a new Spirit Board.

Terry is the fifth addition to the game, following Piranha Plant, and the three other Fighter’s Pass characters, Joker, Hero and Banjo-Kazooie. There’s one more still to be revealed, plus additional DLC planned for further down the line.
