Raiden (ライデン, Raiden) is a character from the Fatal Fury series. He originally appeared in the first Fatal Fury (and its 3D remake, Fatal Fury: Wild Ambition) as a heel. He appeared in Fatal Fury 2 as Big Bear, a face. He was long considered for The King of Fighters series and he finally made his debut in The King of Fighters XII. Developers wanted to add him as the big burly guy for the cast. The reason they didn't choose his face counterpart was due to the overall insistence to add a giant, evil character.

[edit] Story

[edit] As Raiden

Raiden is a professional wrestler known for his ruthlessness in the ring. He is very strong and is known to manhandle his opponents. He moved to Southtown to get involved with strong fights. He was eventually hired by Geese Howard as one of his henchmen. He entered the King of Fighters tournament created by Geese, but was eventually defeated by Andy Bogard.

[edit] As Big Bear

After Geese Howard was defeated and retired, Raiden took off his heel persona and started using another persona, Big Bear. He started fighting as a face and became good friends with Terry Bogard, Andy Bogard and Joe Higashi. He was invited to the King of Fighters world tournament held by Wolfgang Krauser, but lost.

[edit] Personality

Raiden has a fighting spirit and wants to fight strong opponents. During his time as Raiden, he was portrayed as a ruthless man who cared little concerning his opponents' well-being.

As a fan favorite, his face identity Bear is portrayed as a cheerful man who is looking for a good fight.

[edit] Powers

  • Fire Breath (as Big Bear only) - As his desperation move, Bear can turn his breath into fire. It is unknown if this is actually a power or if he uses a 'trick' to do this.
  • Power lifting (as Big Bear only) - Bear is able to lift 3 times his own weight over his head.

[edit] Fighting Style

Raiden is a heel Pro Wrestler. He uses several pro wrestling moves and also uses heel tactics, like spitting yellow mist in his opponents eyes. In Fatal 2/Special, he abandoned his yellow mist move and used more wrestling techniques, his tackle move is developed through football, like Terry's Power Dunk off basketball. As Big Bear, he uses less dirty tricks.

  • Yuusha Raiden (Raiden the Brave) - Fatal Fury
  • Call From the Earth - Fatal Fury Wild Ambition
