rocks good but i dont see him beating terry

SaTsuJiN
terry trained him, and thus knows all of rocks techniques and dirty tricks...

"Weener is... Terry!"

2D_MASTER
I know people will be like "Rock won the Maxium Mayhem contest , so that proves he can beat Terry." Nah read that offcial story. Rock and Terry were in the process of fighting, Grant interrupted, Terry took on Grant so that Rock could move on and find out about his mother. Terry didnt have the strength to take on Kain right after beating Grant. So Rock fought Kain and beat him.
Personally I think that Terry would beat Rock because his years of experience and plus the fact that he taught Rock.

Yeah but Rock currently does not fight "pretty alright", for his age its exceptional, Rock in MOTW was 16 almost 17. And he was already able to keep up with Terry. I doubt that Rock would have been such a prodigy if he had not been Terry's student.

I agree w/both of you. Rock would have been pretty tough regardless, but he's tougher because of Terry's training. I think however that Rock would wear Terry down and take a hard fought win. He's more versatile. Sometimes the student surpasses the teacher. I think this is one of those cases. If he's a beast at that age, when he gets older he'll be able to put the hurt on Ken or Ryu. He'd probably give them a serious run for their money now.

terry will win.rocks terry/geese but way younger,but if u come back 2 this in a few years the tables may turn,unless terry contiues his training then i dont see rock ever winning,but terrys already slowed down now,so i see hope 4 rock in the near future

Terry can continue training all he wants. If Rock doesn't flat out quit training he'll always win. It's pretty obvious he's got more potential. He's just going to get better and better. Terry+Geese>Terry

Terry+Geese>Terry now that, i can agree with but the only reason hes got more potential is cuase terry just about used all his up.i think rock shood get just a bit more time,hes far too new to go up against veteran like terry so quickly.

brainchild81
He already has. So obviously he's not. Rock's a natural and sometimes that can override lack of experience

SaTsuJiN
You call busting out a move like powerstream having "used up his potential" ?

terrys potential is far from over, regardless of rocks lineage...

P-Geyser
I believe Terry will win this match. As 2D Master pointed out, if it had not been for Grant interrupting, Terry would have beaten Rock. Plus Terry has got more what it takes to pull and survive in this match. Rock has beatin Kain and Terry(because of Grant) but Terry has beaten more threatning characters than Kain.(Geese Krauser and The Jins come to mind)

Droopy
Terry all the way Rocks cool though

Personally I think that Terry would beat Rock because his years of experience and plus the fact that he taught Rock. & he did a damn good job too. If Terry's experience was that much of a factor against somebody as talented as Rock(it's not 'cause Rock's a natural), Rock wouldn't be able to even hang w/him because we all know Terry's experience dwarfs Rock's. How can Rock hang w/him? Because he's a naturally fast learner. We'll probably never know, but IMO Rock would have worn him out had the fight not been interrupted because of his youthful vigor. They should have made @ least 1 MOTW sequel dammit!

Remulous
rock wont beat terry now but later.isnt rock kinda like a bad guy now any way.in the snk universe bad guys hardly ever win if ever.

You know why?....cause playmore does not want to put in the effort...rather than concentrate on KOF involving Ash.

brainchild81
Yeah. It may also have been dumb for them to release it on the Dreamcast instead of the PS2Originally posted by Remulous

SaTsuJiN
I think cuz he went off with Kain...it could be a 'chance' regardless of how small, to become evil when he returns... I wish everyones characters aged like tekken... they really do aging so well

Hmmmmm I have a question, Ive heard that KOF MI isnt actually cannon, that it exist on a separate time line and universe than KOF. Can anybody confirm or disprove this? And if it is in the same time line I read that it take places before Garou MOTW (coz rock is still under Terry's and not Kains wing), so in the OFFICIAL SNK timeline is Garou's Maximum Mayhem the newest tournament?

OMG FFS OMG FFS Oh My God For **** sake Terry WINS!!!

Im New Here!!!
I Have a Question? Why in the Storyline of Kof was Different Than the Fatal Fury? I mean in Fatal Fury Geese was found out Dead... While in KOF Geese was still alive? Which is Which... Which is a Canon?

aysongail
W8 Terry Wins thats for sure...
Rock Idolized his HERO (TERRY) And he want's to surpass him... In Maximun Impact Profile...

is the Power Stream was The Powerful move of Terry?
I think Terry have the Hackyokuseiken is this an Ancient martial arts like krauser had?
Y the Fatl Fury did no't Include the power of hakyokoseiken(The one he used to defeat Geese, And God of Mars?)

Does Terry have any feats that compare w/Rock destroying a mansion?

Sado22
scarring Geese with every blow...something Rock couldn't even do with his special laughing out loud
oh and Terry and Geese fought in a large hall...nothing to break there.

Man of Violence

Rock is so much better and cooler than Terry in nearly er category but yeah, Terry will win. MOTW 2 should have Rock as the main dude and Terry die of a "heart virus". laughing

Sado22
virus got nothing on that man's heart wink

watch the geese boss vid from FFWA then. IIRC it was pretty huge.

P-Geyser
Oh for f**ks sake who revived this thread!!!! Anyway I say Terry Bogard anyday of the week kicking Rocks short ass and any Terry haterz can %#@@$$^%&.......literally.

I-Drop
I did because of this mansion busting feat. laughing out loud Calm your hyper @ss down 'cuz ain't no Terry hating even going on right now. What curse word was that anyway?

swatson81
Sorry, but Rock is as good if not better than Terry. Of course Rock could win. Doesn't mean that Terry couldn't win just as many. Rock became the LEAD in Fatal Fury at the time of MOTW. People are literally blown away by his power and skill, he's regarded as a genius and the ultimate fighter.

There are those who are so talented it's frightening. Rock is one of these characters, but he didn't get that far on his own. One of the best fighters in existence was his teacher. Natural talent, plus being trained by a legend simply shouldn't be underestimated. Especially not in this case.

Rock can already go toe to toe with the best. Terry, Ken, Ryo, K', Ryu, Ken. It doesn't matter, all of these would be great fights. Rock even talks down to Yamazaki in KOFXIV when Yama tries to bully him. Just too good.

I'm excited to see Rock reach his full potential one day, but even if he's already there, he's more than enough for the majority of characters out there.

@2DMaster, please link that official story you referenced when you can. Thanks man!

P-Geyser
I agree with some of your analysis...though I disagree with some bit's. Rock is great, but I don't think he is better then Terry...maybe down the line, but not now. I usually go by character's story arc development and history. Rock had Terry growing up to teach him...Terry was basically self taught at a younger age then Rock...don't get me wrong he had his foster father Jeff and a little bit later Tung, but still he was on his own developing his skills as well as his personal growth. Terry had defeated Geese, Krauser and later The Jins and Grant. Rock is great no doubt, but I don't think he can sleep on those other characters that were mentioned. I wish we would get a MOTW's 2 to see what happens, Rock now that he went off with Kain and was sort of a douche to Terry.
