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 reoccurring 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 Fatal Fury joining the team, while others left.
