Antonov - Team G.A.W.
Get Straight
Intro
Making his grand entrance in The King of Fighters XIV, Antonov arrived as the face of a new era for the franchise. More than just a formidable combatant, he held the dual role of the tournament host and the self-proclaimed "First Champion" of KOF.
Known for his "Siberian Golden Fist" fighting style, Antonov’s presence on the battlefield is defined by raw, heavyweight power and overwhelming charisma. Despite losing his fortune between games, he returns in KOF XV as the head of "Galaxy Anton Wrestling" (G.A.W.). His journey from a billionaire tycoon to a resilient wrestling promoter embodies the spirit of a true fighter who never backs down, no matter the odds.
Features
Antonov is the embodiment of raw destruction. Players can feel the sheer impact of his fighting style, driven by pure muscular force through devastating punches, explosive grapples, and high-velocity body slams. While his toolkit resembles that of a heavyweight professional wrestler, he possesses surprising mobility and agility that defies his massive frame.
He is the ideal entry point for players who love "absolute power" and want to overwhelm their opponents through sheer physical dominance. Antonov doesn't just break through defenses; he dictates the flow of the match with his deceptive speed. For those who command him, victory is not just about winning; it’s about making the opponent yield to the overwhelming weight of a true champion.
