Big Bear

Big Bear (ビッグ・ベア, Biggu Bea) is a character from the Fatal Fury of fighting games.

Story
After Geese Howard was defeated, Raiden took off his heel persona and started using a face persona as Big Bear. He started fighting as a face and became good friends with Terry Bogard, Andy Bogard and Joe Higashi. He was invited to The King of Fighters world tournament held by Wolfgang Krauser, but lost.

Personality
As a fan favorite, Bear is a cheerful man who is looking for a good fight. Side Note: The character is based on Big Van Vader from WCW who had a brief run in the Japanese wrestling world in the 80's.

Powers

 * Fire Breath - Bear can turn his breath into fire. It is unknown if this is actually a power or if he uses a 'trick' to do this.
 * Power lifting - Bear is able to lift 3 times his own weight over his head.

Fighting Style
Just like Raiden, Big Bear uses the same fighting style, but doesn't use as many dirty tricks.
