He kicks off Geese nary a hint of hesitation in this game, which is unthinkable for a big-hearted Terry we know today, who tried to save Geese in the canon ending of ''Real Bout Fatal Fury''. He is also voiced by an unidentified actor who gives him a much less hammy accent than Satoshi Hashimoto, who would voice Terry from ''VideoGame/FatalFury2''.

* UnbuiltTrope: This is one of the first modern fighting games, released on the same year when ''VideoGame/StreetFighterII'' took the whole world by storm, yet because it was in development before ''Street Fighter II'', it explores the genre very differently from a lot of games that followed it. There are only three playable fighters in the arcade version (even less than 8 characters of ''Street Fighter II: The World Warrior''), there is a temporary CoOpMultiplayer mode, and it has a plane-switching system that you can exploit avoid attack and counter it. The much bigger success of ''Street Fighter'' ensured many of them would stay in ''Fatal Fury'' only.

* ContinueCountdown: The standard one shows a picture of your character's beaten and bloodied face briefly flashing up as the timer ticks down. But if you happen to lose to Geese, a special continue screen appears where he kicks your character out of his skyscraper's window, condemning them to a DisneyVillainDeath unless you sink another coin into the machine. Amusingly, [[GravityIsAHarshMistress the character doesn't actually start falling until the count of 3]].
