King - Team Art of Fighting
Get Straight
Intro
A mainstay since KOF 94, King stands as one of the most sophisticated icons in the fighting game world. While she is a series regular, her ever-changing roster of teammates speaks volumes about her independent and composed nature, a fighter who values professional respect over temporary alliances.
Originally, King anchored the legendary "Women Fighters Team" alongside Mai Shiranui and Yuri Sakazaki. However, KOF XV marks a historic milestone: for the first time, she has officially teamed up with Ryo Sakazaki and Robert Garcia. As all three are original icons from the Art of Fighting series, this long-awaited reunion brings their shared history full circle, cementing King’s legacy as a cornerstone of the SNK universe.
Features
King possesses a combat style that is as unique as it is effective. While not bound by a single traditional school, she is a world-class specialist in spacing and distance control. Her formidable kick-based offense allows her to excel in close-quarters skirmishes with explosive speed and high-priority strikes, ensuring she maintains the upper hand even when pressured.
At long range, King’s ability to disrupt the opponent’s rhythm is unparalleled. Her signature projectiles force rivals to play her game, effectively dictating the tempo of the match. What makes King truly remarkable is her versatility; she is highly accessible to newcomers who can find success through her well-rounded kit, yet she offers deep strategic layers for seasoned pros. Whether you are a rookie or a veteran, King is a character who empowers you to control the battlefield with elegance and authority.
