The King of Fighters '94

Rugal Bernstein is an incredibly rich and notorious arms and drug dealer, as well as an incredibly skilled and ruthless fighter. Bored with the lack of competition, Rugal decides to create a new King of Fighters tournament. Rugal has his secretary travel to eight locations around the world and invite fighters to his new tournament. Unlike the previous KOF tournaments in the Fatal Fury series, the new King of Fighters is a team tournament, this time involving eight teams of three, each representing a different nationality. Most of the characters are from other SNK games, such as Team Italy, which consists of three heroes from the original Fatal Fury: Terry Bogard, Andy Bogard and Joe Higashi. The two heroes from Art of Fighting (Ryo Sakazaki and Robert Garcia) are on Team Mexico, along with their mentor and Ryo's father (Takuma Sakazaki). Team Korea features Kim Kaphwan from Fatal Fury 2 as the leader of two convicts he is trying to reform (Chang Koehan and Choi Bounge), while Team England is a mix of fighters from Fatal Fury 2 (Mai Shiranui) and the Art of Fighting series (Yuri Sakazaki, King). The two heroines from Psycho Soldier (Athena Asamiya and Sie Kensou), along with their mentor Chin Gentsai, make up Team China. Team Brazil features the heroes from Ikari Warriors (Ralf and Clark) along with their commander Heidern. There are also two teams made up entirely of original characters: Team Japan with Kyo Kusanagi, Benimaru Nikaido and Goro Daimon, and Team USA with Heavy D!, Lucky Glauber and Brian Battler.
