Team Fatal Fury



Team Fatal Fury, known in Japan as the Garou Densetsu Team (, lit. "Legend of the Hungry Wolf Team") and Team Italy in The King of Fighters '94, is a recurring Team in The King of Fighters series.

Description
As the name implies, the team consists of characters who are from the Fatal Fury series, including its last main installment, Garou: Mark of the Wolves. For most of the series, the group consisted of Terry Bogard, Andy Bogard and Joe Higashi, the three main protagonists of the Fatal Fury series.

Starting with The King of Fighters '99 all the way up to The King of Fighters XI, the team would begin shaking up their dynamic, with different characters from the Fatal Fury series joining the team, while others left. Starting with The King of Fighters XIII, the team went back to it's classic format, and remains that way to this day.

This team currently only appears in The King of Fighters XI and The King of Fighters XV, the latter as a DLC Team, with Rock replacing Tizoc (who, since KOF XIV, became King of Dinosaurs).

Trivia

 * Due to being the protagonist of the namesake game series, Terry is the only character who has always been part of the team.


 * The classic formation of this team is the most assiduous in the mainline series, appearing a total of eight times (all of the Orochi Saga, 2002/UM, XIII, XIV and XV).


 * With exception of Mai Shiranui, Kim Kaphwan (Fatal Fury 2), Blue Mary (Fatal Fury 3) and Tizoc (Garou: Mark of the Wolves), all the other characters on this team made their first appearances in Fatal Fury: King of Fighters.


 * In The King of Fighters '94, this team was called Team Italy, despite none of their members being Italian.
 * This team representing Italy may be a callback to the games Fatal Fury 2/Special, where Andy's stage was in Venice, one of the largest and famous cities in the country.


 * In The King of Fighters All Star, while not technically a main member of Team Mark of the Wolves, due to her being an exclusive character in the PlayStation 2 version of KOF XI, Hotaru Futaba can be counted as an honorary extra member, due to sharing a battle theme with Gato and his XI teammates.
