Original Characters

Yuki

Voiced by: Hikaru Midorikawa

Yuki and Ai are agents of the Federative Government of New Japan, in the NEOGEO World. WAREZ has been planning to conquer the NEOGEO World and Yuki volunteered to investigate. Ai was announced as his backup and he got frustrated with this, because he thought he would have to protect her. They entered the Battle Coliseum, eventually defeating Goodman and stopping WAREZ.

---

• Action Duo: With Yuki.
• Action Girl: Considering that she's one of the main protagonists of a fighting game, it's to be expected that she is capable of fighting.

Mizuchi

Voiced by: Tsunehito Maruo

Mizuchi is a clone of Orochi made by WAREZ. It is unknown how he was exactly created, but it is implied that he possessed a part of Orochi's spirit. The body he possesses is a black-haired boy, believed to not be of Orochi blood. If he is defeated, his body will disintegrate, unable to contain the deity's power any longer. In his ending, the spirit part of the deity merges with its host and releases Orochi in the world again. Mizuchi was a Soul Gaia and he will let them return to nothingness.

---

• Artificial Human: He's not just a clone, but a clone meant to contain Orochi's power.
• Clones Are People, Too: Despite his origins as an Orochi clone, Mizuchi clearly demonstrates some individual personality traits.
• Deity of Mortal Creation: Of all the bosses in the game, Mizuchi from is the only one being created in laboratory by WAREZ to recreate Orochi (from The King of Fighters series), being a clone with part of Orochi's soul. And as him, Mizuki is a SNK Boss as well.
• Despair Event Horizon: His ending in the game.
• Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette: His original form before becomes Mizuchi.
• Expy: Of Orochi, obviously. Also, Mizuchi itself is a Japanese deity as Orochi.
• A God Am I: He's not quite a god like Orochi, but still has one hell of a complex to comepensate.
• Humanity Is Infectious/Kill All Humans: Unlike Orochi, who holds at least some regard for humans, Mizuchi loathes them and wants to wipe them from the face of the earth.
• Moveset Clone: Of Orochi, with a few variations.
• Mystical White Hair: Same deal as Orochi, considering that he's a clone of Orochi.
• One-Winged Angel: The kid in the intro quickly becomes Mizuchi before the fight starts.
• Power Dyes Your Hair: Unleashing Mizuchi's true power causes his hair to quickly turn from black to white.
• Orochi: A clone of this god made by WAREZ.
• Red Eyes, Take Warning: At least seen in his artwork.
• SNK Boss: Just like the original.
• Superpower Meltdown: If he is defeated, his body will disintegrate, unable to contain the deity's power any longer.
• Walking Shirtless Scene: Much like Orochi, Mizuchi fights sans shirt.
• White Hair, Black Heart: He's probably even worse than Orochi, as Mizuchi hates all humans and wants to wipe them out without any good reason... and he has the hair to boot.

Goodman

Voiced by: Joji Nakata

The president of WAREZ, a corporation that's a front for his scheme to take over the world of Neo Geo. Because he knows there are many powerful people who could foil his scheme, he hosts and sponsors a tournament to eliminate them all in one fell swoop. That, and he creates Mizuchi, a clone of Orochi, and allies with both Neo Dio and King Leo.

He "fights" by ordering around the Saru-Oh, a monkey spirit he controls with a flaming whip, to attack his opponents.

---

• Ambition Is Evil: He wants nothing but to take over the world of Neo Geo.
• Corrupt Corporate Executive: The evil president of WAREZ.
• Evil, Inc.: His company WAREZ is this.
  • Meaningful Name: His corporation's name, WAREZ, an obvious play on the word warez, as SNK Playmore blames software piracy as one of the contributing factors to its 2001 bankruptcy.
• Expy:
  • Of Igniz from The King of Fighters 2001, with WAREZ being an expy of the various groups and organizations in KOF and other SNK fighting games that host tournaments as fronts for their true goals.
    • Also, SNK deliberately expied themselves with Goodman, Making the final boss of the Neo Geo crossover title a physical representation of their bankruptcy; visibly designed like Igniz (boss of KOF 2001, the year they went bankrupt), controlling a company called WAREZ (see above).
  • Saru Oh seems to be based on Oozaru from Dragon Ball.
• Familiar/Monster Allies: Saru Oh, or "Monkey King", a flaming monkey he controls with a flaming whip.
• Final Boss: Of the game proper, being the president of WAREZ and the hardest out of the four bosses that can be fought in this game.
• Generic Doomsday Villain: He has no real reason for why he wants to take over the world of Neo Geo. He's more or less just there so all these characters have an enemy to band together to fight against.
• Ironic Name: Goodman is not a good man in the slightest.
• It Must Be Mine!: In his official profile, Goodman dislikes "anything that doesn't belong to him".
• Mana Shield: Goodman can create a shield made of golden energy.
• Original Generation: He makes his debut in this game and is the Big Bad all of the other characters are fighting against. Villains from other games like Neo Dio and King Leo are working alongside him, and his corporation's advanced enough to make a clone of Orochi, the Greater-Scope Villain of The King of Fighters.
• Playing with Fire: Goodman has a fire whip that uses to hit and burn the enemy, throw fire powers and control Saru Oh, which also is made of Technicolor Fire (blue/violet fire).
• Red Is Violent: Goodman's outfit is full of red with touches of white and yellow, contrasting Yuki.
• SNK Boss: His attacks have priority over everything, and he can inexplicably heal his red health.
• Take Over the World: His ultimate goal is to take over the world of Neo Geo.
• Timed Power-Up: Same as Yuki, but only for increased damage, which also affects Saru Oh.
• Unskilled, but Strong: Saru-Oh's the only real reason he's so difficult. He himself only has a couple punches and kicks, and occasionally lashes at you with his whip.
• Whip of Dominance: He's a cold and authoritative Corrupt Corporate Executive who wants to Take Over the World, and fittingly wields a flaming whip in combat. But more importantly than lashing at you, his whip is actually what he uses to command his Familiar Saru-Oh in battle, tugging or cracking the whip in different ways to have Saru-Oh perform different moves.
• White Hair, Black Heart: A cruel corporate leader fueled purely by ambitious greed, with hair as white as snow.
