	Games - Krizalid

Krizalid is a video game character in the King of fighters series. He is the boss and mid-boss of The King of fighters 99'. Krizalid is an extremely powerful fighter sporting an inevitable anti-air move, high-gauge projectiles and dash attacks that are somewhat inescapable. Krizalid's Mid-Boss form isn't as powerful as his End-Boss self. Krizalid, like K', also has the ability to use flames, and some people consider Krizalid as the second clone of Kyo Kusanagi. Like all SNK Bosses, Krizalid is ridiculously strong, inflicts unfair damage, but suffers from having a poor quality AI if the player finds a "boring pattern" to take down Krizalid. Krizalid is voiced by Yoshiyuki Iwamoto.

History

Born in Ireland, Krizalid was designed to be the Ultimate Kyo Kusanagi clone, infused with his DNA, and outfitted with an special suit to feed data into his body during battle. However, as a side effect, he gained some of the memories of K' (the prototype prior to his creation) and believed Whip to be his sister as a result.

Mad with power, his surperiors in the NESTS cartel ordered him to activate the thousands of Kyo Kusanagi clones around the world. However, during this time period, Whip leaves him, troubled by his thoughts of meglomania. In order to gather the battle data nescessary for the activation period, Krizalid quickly decided to turn on his two subordinates K' and Maxima, along with their team members in an undergraound sewer. With the power of his battle suit and advanced fire techiques he quickly gained the upper hand, but an offensive attack by K' and Maxima left him stunned long enough to be killed by a fireball from Kyo Kusanagi. As he lies dying, Whip and the other Ikari Warriors emerge. She tells him that the memories of her being his sister were fake, and that NESTS had lied to him throughout the tournament. Their commander, Heidern then asks Krizalid if he remembers his real name. He simply cannot remember, and dies shortly after.
