Lucky Glauber

Lucky Glauber is a karateka and basketall player who appears as a playable character in the King of Fighters series of fighting games. His KOF 98 incarnation has been converted - with a few customizations - by Sander 71113 in 2001, with further updates in 2005 and 2008.

Biography
Lucky was asked by his buddy Heavy D! to form a team with him and Brian Battler to participate in the King of Fighters tournament: the American Sports Team. Aside from his desire to help bolster his friend's confidence, Lucky joins the tournament to test his fighting ability.

Gameplay
He's a pretty projectile-oriented character, and since his last 2008 update he can cancel his fingeroll into and go from there into slam to further annoy his opponent with lots of b-balls. Being a KOF 98 character he carries over a number of systems, including sidesteps, power charge and MAX mode that boosts his attack power and defense and also enhances his Desperation Moves.
