who would be the third on a sylvie/angel team? couldn't see diana or foxy not being on a team with kula, so i'd guess candy or even nameless. or just someone new, tho i'd doubt they'd come up with another NESTS remnant again after sylvie.

I always theorized that Luong might be a villainess in disguise, but putting on a caring face.

She's very mysterious and it's weird she was ever added into the roster in the first place despite only being "Kim's master's GF".
Her origin is unknown, her fighting style is unknown and her motivations to fight in the tournament only because her BF wants to fight is kind of weird and uncalled for.

I think she has an agenda and she may reveal herself to be an evil person in the end. We never had those kind of characters in KOF before.

Don't forget that Kim can canonically sense evil. If she had bad intentions I think he would've picked up on it.

Good point, but I think Kim's "sense of justice" is a bit subjective. He doesn't sense evil with Chang and Choi when they turned evil again.
I'd like to think that Kim's interactions with Luong is a shallow one and unless she discloses more of her true intentions/colors, we'll never really know what's up with her motifs.

Kukri looks evil, but we find out he's working for Elizabeth as a good guy.
I wish Luong was the opposite, but that may be a bit too cliche hahaha.

Tbh, kinda tired seeing chars from XIV, give me something to get excited about, though I do want Rock to come back.
Who cares about lore bring back fucking Omega Rugal or somethig ffs, I could give two shits about Yuri and the like.

At least we got Shermie,Yashiro etc.

Gang-Il and Luong were definitely created to put a bit more irony and some comedy in Kim's role. He's all about justice and reforming criminals, and it turns out his master is a sleazebag that almost looks like a lazy drunk (but apparently super skilled) hitching himself up with some weirdo he met an hour ago just because she had big fat honkers, they're clearly dubious people - not villains, no, but the kind of sadist that doesn't care about petty things like law or justice and make fun of Kim's justice, like parents waiting for their kid to come out of "that phase". They're the opposite of Chang and Choi to Kim. I'm 100% certain that both of their characters go not a single step further than that, and that's completely fine with me. I like them.
If I struggled to the end of my determination, to the end of my way of life with my followers, if the result is ruin, then this ruin is inevitable. Grieve. Shed tears. But you cannot regret.

I would like to agree, but Luong's profile literally says: "Luong is a “femme fatal” type woman fighter with mysterious motivations."

I think it alludes to smth more than her being just Kim's master's lover.
She only met Gang-Il recently. She clearly doesn't share Kim's morals. She has no personal gain in helping Kim or Gang-Il. I think she's really cooking up smth.

Hopefully KOF 15 brings more lore to the table than what's currently on offer.

nahhh, more likely they are just there to act as a comedic foil to kim

theyve been dropping these open ended tidbits for a long time, but as far as kof goes they never develop characters that aren't the explicit main focus of the arc. bao is a good example. nelson's arm is another good one- though it does get developed in the manga.

In 26+ years of games only about 10% of the cast of KoF has gotten any kind of character development so yup, I'm with y'all saying that there's nothing more to Luong.

That's the joke. Gang-Il picked her up on a whim because boobs and she turns out to be super shady, that's what's funny. The "mysterious motivations" is just a throwaway line.

At least with Bao, the dragon arc, the Hizoku, Those From The Past... and before that, the fanbase turning everyone into an Orochi xyz character.

Well she interacted with Shermie, though you could say given that she interacted before in SNK Gal Tag Team Frenzy. There might be a chance that they know from the... but I think speculation should be reserved after the game.
PLUS...we can MUGENIZE her once there is full 2d version available...
