Lucky Glauber (ラッキー・グローバー) is a character in The King of Fighters series. He first appeared in The King of Fighters '94 as a member of the American Sports Team.

Story[]

Lucky is the 1st-place defender of the Long Beach International Karate Championships who is also a former professional basketball player in the Staples Center. He later was invited by his friend, Heavy D!, to form a team with him in the King of Fighters tournament and to step up his karate tournament game. Aside from his desire to help bolster his friend's confidence, Lucky joins the tournament to test his fighting ability. In their ending, he says he'll continue street fighting.

He, along with the rest of the members of the American Sports Team, have a running gag in the history of KOF which involves their invitations being stolen by other participants. Similarly, in the backstory of Neo Geo Battle Coliseum, Shermie defeats Lucky and takes his invitation to the tournament. Mizoguchi also takes his invitation by defeating him in KOF Maximum Impact Regulation "A".

Personality[]

Unlike his own two brash and aggressive teammates, Lucky is always seen smiling around, even while fighting. He is very cheerful towards everyone and always never rejects a tough challenge, whether if it is a tournament of basketball or martial arts, he is in it just to have a good time.

Powers[]

  • Super Speed - Lucky can move past his opponent at a high speed.
  • Energy Pillar - Lucky can create a pillar of energy with his ball.
  • Weapon of Fire - Lucky can put his basketball on fire, without burning it.

Fighting Style[]

Lucky's fighting style was mainly inspired by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's former profession which is basketball, but also fused with the fighting style in Bruce Lee's Game of Death. Although, Abdul-Jabbar fights using Jeet Kune Do in the movie, Lucky instead fuses basketball with the same Okinawan Karate-Dou style as Jim Kelly from Bruce Lee's Enter the Dragon.
