History

Choi Bounge used to work as a Korean butcher, was very successful in his business (especially due to his skill at cutting) and having a caring wife. However, this perfect life led him to boredom, and he felt a desire to put some action in his life. Thus, he became a small-time criminal who, along with his partner-in-crime, Chang Koehan, executed various bank heists and other random acts of thievery. One day, the hapless duo became arrogant and careless, resulting in their capture by the authorities. However, the jail walls were no match for Chang's overbearing strength, and they escaped. While wondering about what crime they were going to commit next, they ran into Kim Kaphwan; someone much more dangerous than the police. Kim proceeded to assault the hapless convicts and refused to relent until they agreed to join his team in the KOF tournament, as well as become part of his "rehabilitation project." This is reflected in the games wherein Choi and Chang acquire some moves similar to Kim's since 1995 and have worn matching outfits since 1996. Ever since, the two have attempted to escape from Kim's training dojo with little success. The situation hasn't gotten any more lenient with the arrival of Jhun Hoon, who shares Kim's overzealous passion for justice and rehabilitation.

Personality

Choi is always taking advantage of the opportunity to show off and impress Kim, and see if that way he can finally gain his liberty. He is the best of friends with Chang, but he truly hates that Chang always says the wrong things in the wrong times! Choi always loves the excitement of battle, and loves to gouge claws into the opponents' flesh.


Game Information

  • With his size relative to those of other characters (his canonical height is listed as 153 cm) and his hunched-over fighting stance, Choi is one of the smallest characters seen in any fighting game. This gives him a unique tactical advantage, as many taller characters are incapable of hitting him with certain basic attacks such as punches from a standing position. This is particularly highlighted in SVC Chaos: SNK vs. Capcom, which also features the Capcom character Hugo; a man whose height reaches almost the top of the screen and who is significantly taller than average-height fighters such as Ryu and Kyo Kusanagi.
  • In the early days, (KOF '94-'95), Choi was capable of killing an opponent with one move. Choi could perform his Tornado Ripper DM close on an opponent in the corner, knocking the opponent into the air, dealing a significant chunk of damage. In the corner, the opponent has no where to land but straight down, so the move will connect a second time before it is done, killing the opponent instantly with the second hit. Fortunately, SNK realized this possible bug (this was before the days of "damage scaling"), and this bug was thankfully (or unthankfully) fixed from games '96 and on.
  • In KoF 2002, his HSDM is called Shakushi (one translation is 'Death Slash'), where he does random slashes while in the air. This HSDM strikes a resemblance to one of Captain Kuro's (from One Piece) of the same name.
  • As even vaguely stated at the KOF anniversery page, Choi looks undoubtibly like the superhuman killer Freddy Krueger of A Nightmare on Elm Street (series) fame.

Trivia

  • Choi's design is reportedly based on the character Freddy Krueger. This is vaguely stated at the King of Fighters 10th Anniversary website.
  • A taller version of Choi named Cool Choi appears as a Maniac Striker in KOF 2000. The taller version appeared in one of the four-panel KOF joke strips (known in the net as jests). It was the result of Choi hanging down from by his hands from a tree-branch and Chang Koehan weighing him down with his iron ball.
  • In KoF 2002 & SvC Chaos, Choi had a super move called Shakushi, which can be translated roughly as 'Mindless Killing'. This move is probably taken or based off Captain Kuro's, from the series One Piece, move of the same name.
  • Choi's Choi Bounge Ondo in KOF'97 and KOF'98 is an homage to and parody of Kinnikuman's Gyuudon Ondo in the manga/anime fantasy wrestling series Kinnikuman.
