This is a play-through using Mr. Big in an alternate version of the Arcade game Art Of Fighting 1. Read on below for more information...

Mr. Big is the sub-boss of the game, and he is an unlockable playable character in the original version of it. However, he can only be used in 2-player versus matches.

===== HOW TO UNLOCK MR. BIG IN THE ORIGINAL =====

Play through a single-player game, and when you reach to fight Mr. Big (after the third Bonus Stage), press Start on Player 2's side to join in. Mr. Big will be available on the character select screen for 2-player versus matches until the current game session is over.

===== MR. BIG SPECIAL MOVES =====

Grand Blaster: QCF + Punch
Cross Diving: QCF, UF, U + Punch
Roll & Straight: Unknown or not accessible

===== MR. BIG INFORMATION =====

---- He cannot jump.

---- He does not have a Super nor Desperation move.

---- After the Bonus Games, when the game shows the special move advice commands, his demonstration is glitched.

---- He obviously cannot pass the Bonus game to learn the "Haow-Ken". His moves do not affect the target board.

===== TRIVIA =====

---- He has another special move which is similar to Vega's Rolling Crystal Flash (from Street Fighter) which you can see the CPU Mr. Big use, but under human control, the input command has never been found... either that or the move is inaccessible under human control.

---- The debut game of Mr. Big.

---- His real name has never been revealed. All we know is that his real name begins with a "J". However, John Crawley's bio in the game's manual makes reference to his combat buddy "James", who saved him after being sh0t. The manual for the SNES version confirms that it was indeed Mr. Big who rescued John Crawley, and that his first name starts with a J.

---- His first appearance into the KOF series is KOF'96.

---- He has made several cameo appearances in some KOF games.

---- The names of the two ladies who are often seen with him are unknown.

---- His fighting style is Eskrima.

---- Before his appearance in the KOF series, he is voiced wholly in English by a non-Japanese voice actor, and he does not say any lines in Japanese.

===== ABOUT THE ALTERNATE VERSION OF THE GAME =====

This is a specially changed version of the game with all the characters and bosses permanently unlocked. This means that you can play through a 1-Player game with the enemy and boss characters.

This version also makes changes to specific elements such as the text/dialogue boxes and sprites during the Bonus games to prevent the game from halting/crashing (which is what can happen if you use unofficial methods to play as the enemies/bosses in the original version in a 1P game). Other changes include making it so that all the enemy/boss characters can meet all the enemies and bosses in a 1-player game.

===== ABOUT AOF1 =====

The game features impressively large 2D sprites for it's time. The AOF series, with it's usage of graphical zooming, music style, sound effects and voices, has always gave you that intense and stylish atmospheric feel in fights.
