SNK announced veteran fighter Vanessa will join Luong and Blue Mary as members of Team Secret Agent in The King of Fighters XV.
Vanessa manages to live a double life. She is not just a housewife in her thirties, she is also a mercenary agent. Her husband and kid are unaware of her full abilities and secret activities. She is fast and very skilled in boxing, and can KO her rivals easily.
In previous games, she has made use of her Translocation, Reflector, Power Punch and other attacks.
She first appeared in The King of Fighters ’99 Evolution. She became playable for the very first time in The King of Fighters 2000 as member of Hero Team with K’, Maxima and Ramón.
It’s the first time this trio of female fighters join forces.
Mayumi Hata is the voice of Vanessa since KOF XIV. Previously, Kaori Minami played Vanessa’s voice from The King of Fighters ’99 up to The King of Fighters XI.
