I think Mr. Big's kinda cracked...
Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against Mr. big, in fact, I think he's kinda funny. The zany humorous attitude might be what attracts all the women to him, but I don't know. Big's all smoove, Robert style, but he took quite a beating in Art Of Fighting 1 (in the anime, it was by Ryo, but maybe, really, it was Robert. Big did mistake him for a spaniard). Since I put up the Yuri Sakazaki Kidnapping incident, I wont have much on Big, but i'll try. Any E-Mailed info is appreciated.
Geese hired Big again (yes again, we'll get to that later) in '96 because he was in need of teammates. Big kinda kinked up the team, as Geese personality was stern and Krausers was calculating, Big paraded around in his pimp coat with his wenches (who would even get pissed at Big's opponent when Mr. Big had to fight). So Big really had no ulterior motive in the tournament only to be a legitamate help and to get paaaaaiiiiiiid. Even though Big was like a breath of fresh air when compared to the stern likes of Geese and Krauser (saying neat things like "Happy Kai"), Mr. Big, and his two friends, left stick and right stick, were a force to be reckoned with. After all, you gotta know how to protect your self if you were going to play by the criminal rule.
You see, as a criminal, Big is a go getter, when he's not a criminal, he's sleeping. Since he was a wee lad, Big had been learning the tricks of the trade of criminal life. This formed him into the guy he is today. Big has a special talent with organization and management etc. and once he's into that, he's not likely disrupted, as long as he knows what's down with the goings on. So he parades around in his crazy shades collecting dough. He kinda wanted to settle down though, so he does in the city that suited him more than his Robert Garcia style pants. Southtown
Crime-ridden and corrupt, Southtown was the place to be it must have been, as people moved in but didn't move out. Big was in heaven, as he could live just how he wanted. Only rule? Well, there was one guy more cunning and corrupt than Big. Up comes Geese Howards name again, but Big didn't mind being in subjection to Geese, in fact, Geese liked Big's style (of work, definetaly not clothing). So Geese hired Big to be his sort of right hand man. Big was more than adequate for the job and prospered well, for others dismay of course. Big's style was different from Geese, as he commonly walked down the street and saw the goings on personally instead of staying in some building.
Geese, once, had to leave town on business and left Big in charge. At that time, Takuma Sakazaki came parading around playing hero, like "i'm going to stop this corruption." Well, Takuma was subdued and brainwashed and his daughter Yuri kidnapped. With that done, Geese leaves. Big's the man for a while now. Of course, his luck haves it, Ryo and Robert come looking for revenge and smite Big and retrieve Yuri amd Takuma (well, sort of Takuma). Geese is not happy (kai), but luckily for Big, Bogards are in the house and stirring up trouble for Geese, who has hired a new right hand man (Billy) and has kinda forgotten to deal with Big (he does get tired of things quickly). Big probably thought Gesse was gon' get 'im and kinda to save his pimp-style behind, accepted way to willingly to work alongside Geese in KOF '96. Does Big have a grudge against Billy for taking his spot? He should be grateful.
In KoF '96, Big and co. didn't actually finish up their tournament dealings as Geese led them straight to where Goenitz was. Here Geese observed the Orochi power in action with glee and Big realizes he's been used. His pride is REALLY hurt and Big has one of his own men, a sniper, shoot at Geese, who's saved as Billy blocks the shot with his pole (Billy thwarts again). Either that was just a warning shot, or Big got scared, but he doesn't make another attempt, and tells Geese to watch his back (so Big can sneak up from the front, because he's got no chance in a fair fight sad to say). big sparatically is seen everywhere, still living his crimefilled life, as Geese has went on to bigger things.
According to anime: Big was also one of te more decent ones besides Robert. i could belive that was Big, and his voice actor worked. The dialogue fit, sort of. Not much was different, except that he didn't work for Geese, he kidnapped Yuri because he THOUGHT Ryo and Robert had some diamond. And that about does it. He gets arrested at the end though, which doesn't really happen. Oh yeah, and one of his eyes isn't real.
We all know, Big's kinda after Geese, but I think he'd join Geese again in a second to clear his back. I think Geese knows Mr. Big's first name and threatens to tell people to keep Big in subjection (it's probably something like Neeko Big or something. Heck, i'd be ashamed). Anyone else wondering what Big thiks of King? Se did fool him into thinking she was a man to kinda work for him. I wonde if that'd hurt his pride (King wasn't working for the evil ness thing mind you). And what of Takuma, who was the guy who started messing with his easygoing style in the first place, making things all complicated. in fact, all the Kyokugens. Ryo and Robert went out and got him, and Yuri's just Yuri. They caused him a lot of needless stress. I get the feeling that Krauser is annoyed by Big in a way, but this just encourages him to go on with his cocky ways. I can kinda see that Big has relaxed a little after working for Geese, maybe his being "laid off" was for the better. My greatest respect for him comes from the fact that he's not the basic "hidden in the shadows, deeply scarred, always too serious" boss guy. In fact, he's got one of the most original personalities in the KoF. I wonder if he and Benimaru compete... Get those girls man!
And now, my rendition of "MR. BIG'S HITLIST!
1:Ryo Sakazaki- Stress
2:Robert Garcia- Pain in the neck; Suave Rival
3:Takuma Sakazaki- Causes trouble; do gooder
4:Geese Howard- Potential problem
5:Yuri Sakazaki- Too annoying
6:Billy Kane- Punk
Others
Wolfgang Krauser- Knows too much
Eiji Kisaragi- Wants to steal Sakazaki revenge
King- Made me look like a fool
Benimaru Nikaido- Suave Rival
Sie Kensou- Beat me up real bad in '96 (best think on this one, Sie Kensou is just to good for me to be messin' with)
Chizuru Kagura- Turned me down
Brian Battler, Heavy D!, Lucky Glauber- I hate Ninja Turtles
(If you couldn't tell, I made the last three up kinda). big doesn't really have a hit list (that I know of).
Can't really give any playing tips, as i've only played the zany Art Of Fighting Mr. Big who couldn't even jump. Help.... -Sho Reppadan-
Mr. Big: "Correction, I GOT those girls."
Billy: "I think you're a wannabe poser. Two sticks... HA!"
