Bao was already the lowest bar on that team, but even he has some stuff going for him. Momoko adds nothing that I can get behind. MOMOKO First appearance: KOFXIĪnother Psycho Soldier added and, surprise, it’s another annoying little shit kid. He’s just a run-of-the-mill evil guy who sucks and dies after losing. Nobody ever wonders which Capcom character would be Magaki’s VS.
Nothing about his plans or monologuing are in any way unique. There’s nothing that stands out about him other than being all evil-looking and cheap. If there was ever a cookie-cutter SNK boss, it’s this guy. Original Zero is less interesting than the clone, even if he does have a pet lion.īono was right. I could have gone my whole life without having to see Zero again, thank you very much. Because, you see, the one that died in 2000 was a clone and this is just a boring-ass subboss who is supposed to be superior. A year later, the penultimate boss is Zero again, only he has a different stance, more strikers, no mustache, and white hair. Not the worst, but certainly not the best. So King of Fighters 2000 introduces and kills off Zero, a mustachioed traitor to NESTS who makes for an average boss fight. Ron is nothing but a dud and Lin is right there with him. The most he gets is showing up in a jokey daydream sequence from Kensou in one of the endings. Still, they spend a couple years having him show up to hype up a post-NESTS storyline about some kind of Dragon Spirit. Instead of fighting him during the NESTS storyline, he only appears briefly as an assist. SNK and later Eolith spend all this time building Ron up as this huge menace that the heroes will have to fight down the line. Lin is introduced as a way to herald Ron, who is Lin’s evil and more powerful counterpart. Part of his ranking as dead last is guilt by association. I’m less in awe about how ninja rad he is and instead feel…strangely queasy?
