Verse is the final
boss of The King of Fighters XIV. He is an evil presence that is sensed
across time and space, various fighters during the tournament join to stop
him. Within his being, he traps the souls of fighters from the part
tournaments such as Orochi
and Ash. When he is
defeated, these souls are released and return to their former bodies and
triggers a world-wide search for the remaining revived warriors. In The
King of Fighters XV, a new form of Verse called Re
Verse appears.

SNK Boss Syndrome...
here we go again. -__- TBH,
Antonov is the type of boss I like to see in KOF, or any
fighting game for that matter. Charismatic... slightly evil... some clever
comic relief thrown in... and perhaps someone who LOOKS like they can kick some ass.
On the other hand, Verse is a clusterf*ck of a design and looks like some
villain from an anime I would never watch... or something. He looks like a cheap Mortal Kombat boss design from
the early/mid 2000's era... and I don't like him. SNK's philosophy of
"making players really really hate the boss character" is a tradition that
perhaps should've been dead 10 years ago... but sadly, we're still here dealing
with asshole bosses like Verse in KOF. Yaaay. I found a strategy to beat him rather easily... so it's not that he
frustrates me in gameplay sense (well, he does a little). IMO, Verse is a very "meh"
boss design that isn't very
exciting. Antonov, I'm promoting you to KOF14 "REAL BOSS".
