Antonov

Story

Antonov is a man of great wealth, so much so that he saw fit to buy the King of Fighter’s tournament and host his own edition of the illustrious event. Of course, many were worried about it, principally because previous hosts of the tournament had been less than good or had evil intentions in mind.

As it turns out, Antonov merely wanted to be part of the glamor and prestige involved in the show. However, his flagrant use of money did not come consequence-free. After KOF XIV his company stock plummeted, and after multiple lawsuits, he was ousted from his own corporation.

While walking the streets of Moscow, he would meet Misha, a child he had saved in the previous tournament and whose family offered the now millionaire a helping hand during his hard times.

With a new lease on life, Antonov concocted a plan to create a new team and take on the challenge of winning the next King of Fighters tournament. To do this, he recruited the help of Rámon and King of Dinosaurs, calling his team Galaxy Antonov Wrestling, aka team G.A.W.

Personality

Although Antonov can appear like an arrogant, greedy businessman at first, the man often has good intentions. He would, and in fact, has put his life at risk to protect others. Despite his big macho outwardly persona, he is a man of sensibilities.

Playstyle

Antonov is a self-proclaimed Siberian Golden Fist master, raw strength and flashy moves are a must for him. Gameplay-wise, he is an incredible anchor, capable of mounting a comeback when things get tough. His large physic translates well to his hitboxes, but his normals are fairly slow.

Appearance

A tall, blonde muscular man. Antonov has clearly spent either a lot of money or a lot of time working on his body to have the perfect wrestling figure. However, he does possess superhuman strength.
