This fight was hinted at in some other threads, Id like to see what happens.
Terry was the orginal badboy of SNK. But Terry hasnt won the gold since Kyo has come to town. Kyo has the super DNA, but will that be a factor when facing Terry? When it gets down to it, who is the better man?

Thats cool, maybe we can get into discussin it when a couple more people start talkin
I think its tacky when someone makes a thread and starts in immidatly with "I think so and so will win...." I know what I think, Id like to see what other people say before I start in with my own bit, y'know.

Terry, Terry and Terry again. Terry was the champ in one on one(though hints say Ryo was) he fought in the Southtown singles tournaments and made his way past Billy to get to Geese. I know Kyo fought in a Japan singles tournament but it was nowhere in hell like Geese's KOF.
Second The "KOF" tournament is a three on three so Kyo in fact has help with his victories. Now lets get down to the two fighters. Kyo as others say may be more powerful, but Terry is most definatley the better fighter because he has the heart and the skill.
Like on the Ryu vs Terry thread I also look at the upbringings. Kyo I believe is a rich school boy and heir to the Kusanagi throne and we know he was born with flames as well as that special Kusanagi DNA.
Terry we know has know such thing but what he has is SKILLS that were developed from his own training and experince....and yes Terry I believe has had way more experience than Kyo, and before people tell me "Kyo has fought godly opponents and defeated them" lets look at the facts, Orochi is harmed by the flames of Kusanagi and Yagami and Chizuru's powers...thats all. I imagine if Terry and Ryo had these flames as well how fast they could put down Orochi so Kyo fighting more "powerful" foes does not count...well at least to me is dosent.
Now if Terry and Kyo fought I believe it would be a match but I say Kusanagi would lose due to his arrogence and yes Kyo will underestamate Terry cause he stronger the way Krauser did. As well if the fight got very intense Terry would get a thrill and in fact I believe enjoying the fight while Kyo may be getting a little frustrated and since Terry has got the better streetfighting and martial arts tactics, I think he will be the victorious one.
I agree, this is a close fight, and Im not belitting Kyo here, but it seems to me the focus of Kyo's story isnt the fact he is great at fighting, but it involves his bloodline. Like the Orochi thing, that was a big deal, but he only could do it because of his bloodline right? If Terry had the same last name, he could do it. Also, if you want to include the movie, Terry has had a similar, plot driven triumph in the Motion Picture when he destroyed the god of war, aided by his friends and a power boost from his girlfriend.
Now, I havnt paid much attention to the KoF plot after 2000, but from what I know, it seems Kyo gets by with potential of his bloodline, but lacks focus. Thats just what I get from his arrogance. I think if Terry was serious about the fight, he could win. Terry has experience with good fighting skill, and he has heart. Kyo has vast potential and strength, as well as good fighting skill. Kyo's arrogance is a downfall as well, I think, most times out of 10 Terry would be the better man.
What does anyone else think?
And I havnt played the last like 3 KoF, so I dont know about any power ups that Kyo has had, if he has had any. Although in 2000 he did change his clothes.

Oh Kyo has skills, he had to practicethe Kusanagi fighting style, which specialises in bringing out the flames, maybe not on par with Terry's, but his natural power and the skill to bring that power out and use more than makes up for it.
Kyo defeated Krizalid with one blow when nobody else could touch him, and he defeated Rugal on his own. Yes he had help with Orochi and Goenitz, but seriously, Terry and Ryo would ge eaten alive if they tried that... The fact is that Terry and Ryo "DON'T have the flames of Kusanagi and Kyo does... Don't discount Kyo's feats simply because Terry can't do the same please...
Now that is definaley a matter of opinion. I believe I already said that Terry does not have the flames of Kusanagi as well as Ryo. I did not say I discounted Kyo NOW DID I I was merely stating that Terry has more technique and the better fighter while Kyo may be more powerful. Terry not doing the same my ass and please back at you.
Maybe I misread, but you speculated that if Terry and Ryo had the flames, they would whoop Orochi's ass, while I would agree wholeheartedly with that statement, all I can say that it was wishful thinking (A wish I had too since some of Kyo's techniques are horrible)
Kyo's not a horrible fighter, even without his flames (Points at Shingo) This guy hangs with some of the best, and he has no powers whatsoever, AND HE USES KUSANAGI RYU TECHNIQUES. Can't be all that bad.
Okay I did not say Kyo was a horrible fighter...my bad I am just saying Terry is the better fighter for those reasons mentioned above and in my opinion just like everyone else. I said yes if Terry and Ryo had the flaming powers they who own orochi faster.
Since you pointed at Shingo well look at Rock Howard Terry's pupil(damn may have to make this another thread)he has got the skill of Geese and Terry.
Kyo is really cool n stuff.. but for me it would come down to options.. terry's supers are more offensive, and less self-endangering..
i.e. triple geyser vs that serpent wave, or even the combo super... kyo always puts himself into the supermove whereas terry can recover more easily
rising tackle in KoF is especially strong (last time I used it) because the first movement before he spins off the ground counters most physical hits ..... R.E.D kick would have to be timed pretty good to knock down a rising tackle or a power dunk..
burning knuckle would probably be seldom used, since both characters have very fast ground projectiles (something which crackshot used to own.. but they nerfed it in later KoFs.. it has less height now.. -_-)
Terry wins this.
Kyo was at his strongest against Orochi because he possessed a part of Orochis weakness, and still needed help to defeat him. After 97, Kyo lost a lot of his power and to this day, has not regained it.
Terry on the other hand, has consistently become stronger.

Rock Howard vs Kyo would be another interesting thread.
So far it seems the consensus that Terry would win, but I havnt seen or heard any evidence proving Terry is above Kyo, which speaks volumes to how close a battle it really is.

i will say kyo would win.I know i will go against the opnion of the majority,but i believe that his super dna and his training on kusanagis style should make him stronger, and also kyos rival is a lot stronger than terrys,and in the martial arts we say that what makes a person stronger is a good rival.And also, kyo history is a very sad one, he looks like an arrogant person to try to hide his inner sadness
No... have you ever played SNK vs Capcom Card Fighters Clash? and there was another one called expanded edition I believe(never played it) but the First card fighters game shows Terry in the front of the SNK characters for The SNK card deck and The Capcom card deck ofcourse has Ryu. As well Terry and Ryu are the highest cards and the Expanded edition shows both Terry and Ryu on the cover.
