-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HEAVY D! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Heavy D! trained since very young to be a professional boxer. He builded up the power in his fists and arms, but he never got his chance in the big leagues. Frustrated and alone, Heavy D! dedicated himself to random fights in private boxing rings, and then retired to seclusion in his turf, where he thrived his feeling of combat in the streets. After several years, a new chance appeared for Heavy D!. He received an invitation for the new King of Fighters tournament introducing the team battle concept. Happy to finally do battle in the professional ring, Heavy D! knew just the people who would help him: his friends, Brian Battler and Lucky Glauber. Forming the USA Sports Team, the three enter the tournament, but do not have much success. Heavy D! then goes back to training in order to perfect his skills and be ready for the next invitation to the King of Fighters! Heavy D! is quite a cool and calm man, and in fight, he moves like a bird and strings like a mosquito. He is also pretty calm in battle, and does not dispair under any circumstance. He respects all fighters who are very skillful, and also gets disappointed by those who do not show their true power. Heavy D! also likes to visit bars and the slums frequently, and encourage young ones in practicing a sport. *Fun fact = Heavy D! also seemed to appear frequently in the King of Fighters backgrounds after KOF '94. In KOF '95, he appeared in King's bar drinking it up with Duck King. In KOF '97, he also appeared in the China stage twice! (With his team, and with Duck King). Appearances: The King of Fighters '94, The King of Fighters '98
