Joe - Team Fatal Fury
Get Straight
Intro
A veteran since KOF 94, Joe Higashi enters the ring alongside his brothers-in-arms, Terry and Andy Bogard. As a high-energy icon originating from the Fatal Fury series, Joe is defined by his unwavering loyalty, always the first to dive headfirst into the Bogards' battles with fiery enthusiasm.
Beyond his lethal striking, Joe is famous for his comedic dynamic within the team. His stubborn insistence on staying with the brothers is the primary reason Mai Shiranui rarely gets to team up with her beloved Andy, leading to their legendary and hilarious bickering in the post-match cutscenes. As the reigning Muay Thai champion, Joe brings a perfect blend of high-impact violence and vibrant personality to the KOF stage, making him a perennial fan favorite.
Features
Joe Higashi stands as the definitive Muay Thai master of the KOF roster. His combat style is a ferocious homage to nature’s fury, featuring signature moves named after "Hurricanes" and "Tigers" that amplify his intimidating presence in the ring. He doesn't just fight; he dominates with the aura of a reigning champion.
Joe is built for players who thrive on high-octane, explosive offense. His moveset is designed to overwhelm rivals with raw power and relentless speed. To master Joe, one must embrace a philosophy of constant aggression; staying on the offensive is the only way to keep the "Muay Thai Tornado" in its peak competitive form. For those who love the art of eight limbs and the thrill of breaking an opponent's spirit, Joe Higashi is the ultimate weapon.
