The King of Fighters '98/Benimaru

Benimaru Nikaido

Jean Pierre Polnareff

In later games, Polnareff gets really lazy and uses his stand and has the gall to call it Genei Hurricane. Also appeared in an underrated Capcom fighter that also has rolls and hops. This man is extremely fabulous but ironically invigorated by the poon. He is also known as the Broom Handle. Like Guile from Street Fighter, Polnareff is one of the greatest kings of Sobats. Also much like Guile, Polnareff has really silly spoken English. In addition to being similar to Guile, Polnareff is also fond of doing flipping kicks to anti-air opponents.
