Antonov is a Russian
powerhouse and the organizer of The King of Fighters XIV tournament. He serves as the sub-boss of KOF
XIV. A
mysterious billionaire and self-proclaimed "first champion", Antonov
bought the rights of the King of Fighters brand to host the new
tournament. After the tournament, he uses his wealth to buy land to help Zarina
(after a bit of coercion on her part) protect her pet, Coco.

I'm sure there's no
substance abuse going on here... lol. Antonov was a cool sub-boss for KOF XIV,
and he certainly looks the part. Someone pointed out on TFG's Facebook that Antonov looks surprisingly like
Triple H. (His face in the KOF14 portrait art mainly, lol). Similar to Triple H's
current position in WWE, he's also the "organizer" of the tournament. Interesting.
Antonov turned out to be one of the
most charismatic SNK bosses in recent years. His voice and mannerisms
during KOF14 cutscenes remind me of Heihachi
Mishima's comedy moments in TEKKEN endings and cutscenes. Also, I can
respect a dude that fights with a cigar in his mouth... with the cigar smoke
coming out of his ears? Cool. His power / rasslin' based moveset is pretty
entertaining overall. That KOF14 belt design is also pretty sick. All in
all, Antonov is a solid sub-boss for KOF14... and
ironically, much better than the game's actual final boss,
Verse. >_> First impression of his KOF XV redesign? Macho Man? Meh. I think they should've double-downed on the Triple H look. Ooooh yeeeeeaaah.
