King of Fighters Redux: Mr Big

Description

Mr. Big from King of Fighters and the boss from Art of Fighting.

Mr. Big is such an interesting character, when I first saw him in Art of Fighting I thought he felt sorta cliche, but when he finally made his way over to KOF he really felt unique because he is one of the only characters to use weapons. He is also really unique amongst the other bosses of SNK fighting games. If you look at most of SNK's boss characters, they are all god like in power, but Mr. Big has no special abilities or is overpowered, he is just a really solid fighter, and I respect that.

I think this is definitely one character SNK needs to bring back with a new hi-res sprite. If they can bring back Hwa Jai in KOF XIII, then I think Mr. Big is a prime candidate as well.

The REDUX is not a huge departure from the original, I made his outfit to be a little more fighter friendly than the full suit he normally wears, no reason you can't look good AND fight comfortably at the same time.

Mr. Big is such an underrated character in the series. I really hope they bring him back in a new game soon. As for this "REDUX," it's pretty good, though I think removing his traditional coat was a bit much. He does look a little more fight ready, but he loses a bit of the charm he originally had. When you see him in the original, you can distinctly see that he's a crime boss, and also happens to be a martial artist. This version looks more like a street brawler who happens to be a crime boss. Also, I just can't see his intro where he has a woman in each arm with this design. Nonetheless, a great re-imagining of the character.
