Description Ralf Jones from King of fighters and Ikari warriors.

It's kinda funny, it took me a long time to realize that Ralf was actually one of the Ikari warrior guys, I even loved the original game back on the NES and arcade so it was a nice surprise when I finally figured it out. The whole Ikari warrior team was such a neat departure when they showed up on KOF 94, grappler types but not the stereotypical fighting game wannabe wrestlers, I was sorta pissed how they dressed em up as wrestlers in KOF 2006.

I basically kept the Rambo-esque look to him, nothing to drastic because honestly there isn't much you can do with such an iconic character without deluding the military feel. I guess now he looks more like a guerrilla mercenary which is exactly how he should look so I am happy with that.

To be honest I was never a fan of the bandanna he wore so I made a pseudo scarf out of it like he has some wild west style to him.

I thought it was Clark who collected guns and Ralf knives you know to give a nod to Rambo. Minor nitpick aside,the reason I suspect that he is using a gun here is so that his enemies are spared from his powerful fists. Thank goodness he is not smoking as one would see of a wild wild west flick. He's all set to hunt some rule breaking outlaws causing problems.

Well, congratulations. I've always liked him because he's in contrast with traditional kof designs. Great job, your Ralf's dwarfing that massive version of his from XII. Really good job with these series, waiting for Clark

you know your king of fighter stuff is cool but for some reason your ralf redux doesn't feel like ralf. maybe because he's missing his jacket oh well. I'm kinda saying this cuz i'm starting to do king of fighters characters but with more traditional looking outfits.

This looks very Metal Slug-esque! :^D Fitting I guess, he was in the latest Metal Slug game X^D Ralf's a really intimidating figure and these new duds suit that very well. I always wondered what it'd be like for him to fight with more than just his fists, given he usually wore the gunbelt. I did see in KOFXII he's using grenades now so that's pretty cool.

You don't like the bandana though? Wow, that's like not liking Clark's hat X^D I actually liked the shoes he and Clark wore for some reason!

Its not that I didn't like the bandanna, but I felt it needed to be changed up after all these years. The bandanna never made the character for me, it was always the wavy hair underneath.

chicobo329 In reply to digitalninja [2008-11-17 07:25:26 +0000 UTC]

That's true, though it was funny that his face was covered with it when he lost and is on the sidelines in '94-'98 X^D SNK seems to leave several consistents with their characters over the years, especially with Iori's design (until XII that is). I guess it's for people to easily identify a character better, but sometimes I wonder if SNK really wants more radical design changes that it simply can't do (fanbase?).

Well I think they tried to some drastic changes when Falcoon came aboard and it didn't go over to well with the fans for KOF MI and KOF 2006 . Guess you can't mess with the tried and true .

I learned as much when reading the wikis on Iori and Kyo on Wikipedia. The sources came up with interesting insight on their creation and how they're both basically forced into each entry of the series because of popularity! It's amazing how much fans can influence this series!
