This is a playthrough using the American Sports team which consists of Heavy-D!, Lucky Glauber and Brian Battler in the Arcade version of The King of Fighters '98 Ultimate Match. Read on below for more information...

NOTE: MAX super gauge used; and Continues/losses are cut out of the video to save time and to minimize video size.

Heavy-D!, Lucky & Brian (American Sports team) are a possible sub-boss team if you have made the Omega Rugal route. They are regular playable characters.

For this playthrough, I have alternated between the characters for each match.

===== ABOUT HEAVY-D! =====

Heavy-D! made his debut in KOF94. He was created to be a pugilist fighter, inspired by the many popular boxers in other fighting games back then. He was named after M.C. "Heavy-D", a former hip hop artist from the group Heavy D & the Boyz.

===== ABOUT LUCKY =====

Lucky made his first appearance in KOF94. He is a former basketball player, as well as a Karate champion. He enters the KOF94 tournament as a result of Heavy-D's request, to support and bolster the confidence of his teammate and to test his own fighting skills.

During development of the game, his prototype design was based on the character Hakim in the martial arts film, Game of Death. (the really tall guy in the blue shirt whom Bruce fights)

In KOF98 and 98UM, he is significantly redesigned in that he no longer has the puffy jacket from KOF94.

===== ABOUT BRIAN =====

Brian made his debut along with Heavy-D and Lucky in KOF94. He is obviously an American football player who is of the violent brute type. He was supposed to come from an earlier SNK game, Football Frenzy, but this concept may have been scrapped.

In early designs of Brian, it depicted him in a more traditional American football player fashion, but his final design shows him without a helmet and in a more "casual" uniform. This was done to make him not look exactly like the character Johnny Maximum in the World Heroes series.

===== ABOUT ARCADE KOF98UM =====

This is basically a remake of KOF'98 which features all the characters in the series from KOF94 to KOF97. As well as new artwork for the new (and some old) characters, it also has new/old stage backgrounds and new or extra music for certain events. The most "significant" feature is probably the addition of Goenitz and Orochi as possible final bosses. Changes are also made to the gameplay and mechanics obviously.
