This week for King of Fighters XIV team trailers, we have the Kim Team. This team of three characters, led by Kim Kaphwan, features two new introductions to the King of Fighters franchise.
Gang-Il is a Tae Kwon Do fighter, and is described as Kim’s master. Kim and Gang-Il share a commitment to justice. He has his own Ho-oh Kyaku, like Kim, and seems to have a charging move with armor properties on it. Luong is a woman of unknown origin. She is the wife of Gang-Il, and fights using long-ranged kicks that come out quickly, and there’s a lot of stabbing people with the tip of her feet. She has the type of personality that toys with her opponents. And lastly, Kim. What an interesting look for Kim this time around! Instead of choosing people to rehabilitate as his teammates, it seems he’s actually chosen some people he’s friendlier with. Everything else about the trailer is classic Kim. His Climax attack is the NeoMAX from King of Fighters XIII. While I don’t play King of Fighters myself, I admit I have always liked watching Kim’s fighting style.
Check out the trailer below, alongside Atlus’s helpful description of the team! There are kicks all over the place. If you’re on Kim’s team, the guy who’s known for his flashy, yet clean kick-based style, then it does makes sense.
The Korean national hero Kim Kaphwan is back and he’s put together a new team of fighters for THE KING OF FIGHTERS XIV. Kim is a staunch evangelist for Tae Kwon Do, so it only makes sense that he brings his master Gang-Il and his master’s lover Luong to the tournament. His strong kicks and aerial attacks, coupled with Gang-Il’s deadly flurries and Luong’s lightning fast kicks, makes this group a nightmare for anyone.
The only thing stronger than their love for kicks is their burning desire to preserve justice and rehabilitate evil people. Luckily for them, Team Kim will DEFINITELY face some villains in the tournament. Does this team of crusading Tae Kwon Do enthusiasts have what it takes to go the distance?
