Story
Over the strong objections of the board members of his company, Antonov Corporation, the confident billionaire buys the rights of the King of Fighters brand to host a new tournament. Proclaiming himself as the “first champion”, he eagerly sends out invites across the world, challenging teams to take his title.

In the South America Team ending, he uses his wealth to buy land to help Zarina protect her pet, Coco.

In his own ending, Antonov successfully defends his title of champion, but his executive director, Yakov, informs him that the public suspects the entire tournament was a set-up. Company board members barge in to condemn Antonov's failure to maintain the tournament's reputability; the backlash causing loss in company stocks and mass media scandals. They schedule for an emergency meeting tomorrow. Antonov decides to skip out the night before.
