Only the strongest wolves can master (and balance) every Rev technique to reign as champion of South Town. Hit the books and study the Rev systems via our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snk-corp.co.jp\/us\/games\/fatalfury-cotw\/guide\/\">official Fighting Guide<\/a> to learn more.<\/p>\n<p>On the topic of South Town, the Open Beta will give players access to some of the tropical city\u2019s legends, including the Legendary Wolf himself, Terry Bogard, and the fan-favorite fiery ninja, Mai Shiranui.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Terry <\/strong>is a jack-of-all-trades, equipped with a projectile, anti-air attacks, and rushdown moves to fight any opponent, near or far. His accessible arsenal of attacks makes him the perfect character to pick up for anyone new to the series, or fighting games in general. He\u2019s not the poster boy of the series for nothing! Use your Power Charge and Crack Shoot to pressure the enemy while they are blocking and force them to overheat.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Mai <\/strong>is also a well-rounded character with a variety of special moves. Her Sayo Chidori can put the opponent under pressure continuously, even when they are blocking. She\u2019s also a great pick for players looking for more movement options, as mastering her Musasabi no Mai allows you to move around the stage with ease.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Joining the roster are new challengers: Preecha, a diligent Muay Thai dynamo with calculated strikes, and the enigmatic Vox Reaper, whose demonic presence and deadly karate bring a fresh yet familiar intensity to the fight.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Preecha<\/strong>\u2019s playstyle focuses on relentless multi-hit attacks. She can try to go for cross-ups with her Hyperbolic Kick or open up her opponent with a Rev Preecha\u2019s Combination followed by a Circular Step.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Vox <\/strong>has long-range normals to check his opponents, including a standing heavy punch that can be followed up with his Kokuen Ryuu shockwave (and other moves) to deal seriously big damage. He even has a command grab to keep his opponent guessing at midrange.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/pub-f354ec240bea480db7320bd0e29d972e.r2.dev\/sites\/2\/2025\/02\/10characters-1-4b74ec74e427dd386b0a.jpg\" alt=\"Fatal Fury Open Beta Characters Image\" class=\"wp-image-206936\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pub-f354ec240bea480db7320bd0e29d972e.r2.dev\/sites\/2\/2025\/02\/10characters-1-4b74ec74e427dd386b0a.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/pub-f354ec240bea480db7320bd0e29d972e.r2.dev\/sites\/2\/2025\/02\/10characters-1-4b74ec74e427dd386b0a-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pub-f354ec240bea480db7320bd0e29d972e.r2.dev\/sites\/2\/2025\/02\/10characters-1-4b74ec74e427dd386b0a-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/pub-f354ec240bea480db7320bd0e29d972e.r2.dev\/sites\/2\/2025\/02\/10characters-1-4b74ec74e427dd386b0a-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Rounding out the Open Beta roster are a mix of returning legends and fresh faces ready to join the fray:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Rock Howard<\/strong>, Terry Bogard\u2019s prot\u00e9g\u00e9 and son of South Town\u2019s infamous Geese Howard, carries a complex legacy. Rock has a well-balanced lineup of special moves, including projectiles that travel along the ground, anti-airs, and attacks with forward momentum. His Shippuu Ken works well against grounded opponents to keep them at bay, while the mighty command grab Shinkuu Nage can be used with Rev Accel as a strong combo starter.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hotaru Futaba<\/strong>, easygoing but powerful, brings grace and discipline to the fight. She\u2019s a speedy character who uses a variety of attacks to mess with her opponent and keep them at her mercy. Her forward step is a full-fledged run, allowing her to use her projectiles as a shield and close in on her opponent simultaneously. She also has a midair stomp (Koushuu Da) and a quick command grab (Shajou Tai) to help break through the opponent\u2019s defenses even more.<\/li>\n<li><strong>B. Jenet<\/strong>, daring leader of the Lilien Knights, commands attention with her fearlessness. She\u2019s a technical character whose spiraling Afterburner attack descends from the air and leads well into combos on hit. Gulf Tomahawk is another useful move that can be stopped midway through via the Braking mechanic, allowing her to follow up with a jump attack or her Harrier Bee. She has a number of ways to approach her opponent, making her a dynamic character on the ground or in the air.<\/li>\n<li>Lastly, the highly ambitious <strong>Kain R. Heinlein<\/strong>, who aims to seize control of South Town\u2014not for power or wealth, but his own ideals of true freedom. Kain is a methodical character who fights at mid-to-long range using his powerful projectiles and setups. His formidable Schwarze Lanze allows him to find gaps in hard-hitting enemy offense; it requires a charge motion, though, making him a more difficult fighter to master (albeit a highly defensive one adept at keeping himself out of harm\u2019s way). Make the most of these and other moves in Kain\u2019s toolkit to control the pace of every fight!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<iframe title=\"FATAL FURY: CotW\uff5cKAIN R.
