This week’s The King of Fighters: XIV trailer features the Ikari Warriors – Ralf, Leona, and Clark. Another classic KOF team. Despite their tough and grizzly appearance, a lot of the attacks here are pretty flashy (even comical?) and the theme music is upbeat. Ralf, apparently, has a flair for the dramatic:
Anyway! The video and team description statement from Atlus can be found below. The King of Fighters XIV releases around the world later this month.
We’ll not beat around the bush. Team Ikari Warriors is an elite mercenary agency, led by Commander Heidern, that’s tasked with gathering intel about Antonov and some of the other… undesirables in
THE KING OF FIGHTERS XIV tournament.These soldiers of fortune are big, strong, and not afraid of getting up close and personal in combat. Leading these warriors into the tournament is Colonel Ralf Jones, nicknamed the One Man Army, who is no stranger to fighting. Although Ralf is a bit hotheaded, he is an exceptional leader who utilizes a dangerous mercenary combat style that focuses on deadly strikes. Oh, did we mention that he’s ripped a tank wide open with his bare hands? Yeah, he’s pretty dangerous. His brother in arms, Lieutenant Clark Still, is a pretty dangerous dude too. Clark also trains in mercenary combat style, but he’s geared more towards wrapping his opponents up like a pretzel and slamming them. That being said, he’s calmer and more level-headed than Ralf and just as formidable. Lastly, we have the cold and professional operator Leona Heidern. Leona is the adopted daughter of Commander Heidern who uses a hybrid fighting style that combines martial arts with Heidern style assassination techniques. Although she is simply a soldier, she has the powerful blood of Orochi running through her veins and must keep her emotions in check to prevent bad things from happening. She’s not a total ice queen though, because Leona is very loyal to the Ikari Warriors and will fight to protect her friends.
