=Past=

Verse
After Ash Crimson sacrificed his existence to erase Saiki, the entity known as Verse began forming. Verse also formed from various fallen souls that spread not only through The King of Fighters series, but also other series. When Nakoruru sensed terrible malice coming from a crack in spacetime, she traveled to the modern times (where The King of Fighters universe and story takes place) and enters with Mui Mui and Love Heart.

=The King of Fighters XIV=

The "First" Champion


Several years after the events of the previous tournament, a confident billionaire named Antonov buys the rights to The King of Fighters tournament, over the strong objections of the board members of his company, the Antonov Corporation.

Proclaiming himself as the “first champion”, he eagerly host a new tournament and sends out invites across the world, challenging teams to take his title.

Follow Me
Once again, all of the teams fought with all their strength, culminating with the Japan Team reaching the finals, which was a final confrontation with the "first" champion, Antonov. Team Japan easily beats him, making them winners of The King of Fighters XIV, the first time since their last victory in the '97 tournament.



However, mere moments after beating Antonov, a mysterious entity appears, destroying the stadium.

Burning On
=SNK Heroines Tag Team Frenzy= Several months prior to the events of the fifteenth torunament, Kukri's obsession for women caused him to create a pocket dimension where women fighters must survive in his universe and join forces and slug it out with other women. Kukri transports most of the female fighters, including few of them who aren't present in the previous tournament (such as Jeanne D'Arc and the recently revived Shermie) to this pocket dimension, and they suddenly fall unconscious. Upon waking, they find themselves in a strange mansion, along some male fighters who have been changed into women. The fighters attempt to battle their way out, but are confronted by the mastermind, Kukri, who reveals he has trapped them in his castle in a pocket dimension and they must defeat him to return home.
