SNK has introduced another team for the upcoming THE KING OF FIGHTERS XV, with its own story and endings. TEAM ART OF FIGHTING reunites Ryo Sakazaki, Robert Garcia, and King, who have not been on the same team since KOF 2000, 21 years ago.
RYO SAKAZAKI
Ryo is the son and entrusted owner of Takuma Sakazaki’s dojos for the Kyokugenryu school of Karate. As a child, Ryo spent his time training his body and eventually became so powerful that he was nicknamed The Invincible Dragon. Naturally, he is extremely strong-willed and will spare no effort getting things done. Even to this day, he continues to train himself to his maximum potential.
ROBERT GARCIA
Robert is the assistant instructor at Ryo’s dojo. Legitimate heir of the Garcia Foundation in Italy, Robert joined the Kyokugenryu dojo against the wishes of his father and quickly became Ryo’s best friend and training partner. Robert excels at kick attacks with his long legs. Robert also has not-so-secret feelings for Ryo’s sister, Yuri.
KING
King’s fighting style is her own form of Muay Thai. She’s the owner of the bar Illusion, and her tall stature allows for her legs to really pack a punch. She joins team ART OF FIGHTING thanks to Ryo’s invitation.
