Speed punches - Ralf can move his arms at a high velocity, allowing him to punch several times per second.Enhanced strength - Ralf is quite strong, as seen in his Galactica Phantom move.He also cares for Whip, seeing her as like a kid sister to him, though she doesn't like being called Whippy by him. This can be particularly seen in the ending of KoF '97 where Ralf gives his bandanna to her, as well as in KOF: Maximum Impact 2 and KoF XII, referring to her as 'princess' when winning against her and in his profile. He is especially protective of any new recruits that come under his command, and will try his best to care for them, especially Leona.
Although he doesn't always show it, he experienced his share of losses from war and will drown his sorrows away with a drink. Ralf is a hot-blooded guy that only cares for action, being the counterpart of Clark in many ways. The team also reverted Ralf back to his classic look making him slimmer than he was in KOF XIII. However the rest of the staff was against this idea. He is also a playable character in Metal Slug 6, where he has the ability to use his punch to knock out vehicles and can survive up to two shots.įor The King of Fighters XIV, Nobuyuki Kuroki wanted Ralf's shirt to look like Bruce Willis in the film Die Hard, where his shirt starts to get grimy from all the sweat and dirt. Both characters were redesigned in KoF '99. In every new instalment of the KoF series, Clark seems to be further and further differing from Ralf while Clark is a powerful grappler, Ralf is more of a power player, making use of some very efficient long-range attacks. In KoF '94, Ralf and Clark were very similar in looks and move repertoire, but by 1995, Clark got a newer stance and win pose, while Ralf retained his old ones. Ralf, and his fellow agent (and good friend), Clark Still, started out as palette swap characters in Ikari Warriors. In order to differentiate the duo, the designers gave Ralf a bandana and Clark a hat, then later sunglasses. But the higher ups ordered them to update their designs to look a little more modern.
During the early stages of KoF '94, the development team intended Ralf and Clark to be shirtless in order to express the feeling of "Ikari" or rage. Keiko Ijuu states that his visual appearance in Ikari Warriors was based on Sylvester Stallone's role as Rambo, which was popular at the time of his conception.
