After a game at the street court, Lucky is approached by his old friend, Heavy D!. Heavy D! tells Lucky that he has received an invitation for the new format of the King of Fighters tournament, which would be introducing the team battle mode. So, he was anxious to hear if Lucky would join him. Since Lucky seems to owe Heavy D!, he gladly accepts. After the tournament, Lucky goes back to his turf and keeps polishing his skills in martial arts, of course, never overlooking a good one-on-one occasionally!

Very different from Brian, who is always so violent, Lucky is very kind and very friendly. His jolly attitude and optimism always inspires a good fight. He also inspires teamwork, as he feels it is essential for victory. He never feels bad when he loses, he just takes it as a step towards perfection (so he doesn't seem to care about his team's mediocre participation in the tournament). In all, Lucky is a pretty nice guy, and never loses his cool.
