Meitenkun - Team Hero
Get Straight
Intro
Making his charming debut in KOF XIV, Meitenkun is far more than just a teammate to Shunei; he is a fellow disciple under the tutelage of the legendary Master Tung Fu Rue. His presence brings a refreshing and unconventional energy to the King of Fighters universe. Defined by his perpetual drowsiness and his signature pillow, Meitenkun stands in stark, whimsical contrast to the high-intensity atmosphere of the tournament.
This "sleepy fighter" archetype enriches the KOF roster with a layer of playful complexity. By defying the traditional expectations of a fierce combatant, Meitenkun proves that power can wear a gentle, lethargic mask. Beneath his sluggish exterior lies a formidable martial artist, making him one of the most uniquely captivating characters in the modern era of fighting games.
Features
Meitenkun’s perpetual drowsiness is his greatest tactical asset, creating a fighting rhythm reminiscent of "Drunken Fist" that leaves opponents guessing. He is the ideal character for players who relish unconventional strategies and unpredictable maneuvers. By utilizing his signature pillow as a unique projectile, he masterfully manipulates the distance and tempo of the match, frustrating even the most disciplined rivals.
While he appears to be in a trance-like state, Meitenkun possesses explosive close-quarters potential. His ability to transition from a lethargic stance into a rapid burst of high-impact strikes makes him a nightmare to predict. To face Meitenkun is to be lulled into a false sense of security, only to be met with a decisive strike the moment you let your guard down. He is a master of the "unseen hit," proving that on the competitive stage, silence can be the loudest threat.
