===== ABOUT JOHANN =====

He's basically a modern cult leader, your typical messiah-savior type wanting his cult to take over the world in the process.

From the SNK Wikia:

"Johann is the current possessor of the Black Dragon, an evil entity destined to wreck havoc on the land. He is considered to be a prodigy amongst those in his sect, as he was able to tame and master the spirit at a young age.

Several rumors surround him and his power, some of which paint him as an all-knowing being of the underworld. He plots to sever the other dragons from reaching their full potential and thereby create a new world lead by the Black Dragon cult. He starts by "murdering" his old mentor, Master Lee (Lynn's grandfather), and issuing the tournament under his "Black Dragon" name."

===== ABOUT ABUBO =====

From the SNK Wikia:

"Abubo is a once glorious fighter and former member of the gang that ruled Sunshine City. He was plotting to one day overthrow his boss until Jimmy and Billy barged into their turf and defeated them. He was personally defeated by the older brother and bore a grudge against him ever since.

With the help of his two personal assistants, Linda and Roxy, Abubo aspires to reclaim his reputation and take over the current m@fia. He does this in his ending, where he becomes the new kingpin of the town."

===== OTHER INFORMATION =====

Johann doesn't operate properly when his partner performs the Tag Out Rush with the Team Duplex extension. You can see this starting around 01:40 in the video.
