One ofFatal Fury’s most popular characters, Terry Bogard, received tweaks for the DLC costume that was included as a pre-order bonus. An issue with Cosmic Strike Geyser, where the move wouldn’t consume the power gauge in both Arcade and Smart Style, has also been resolved. Additionally, the properties of the Burning Wave move now match the default costume version in Arcade.
