Backstory

John Crawley was a captain in the navy and was a martial arts instructor. His fellow soldiers gave him the nickname "The Mad Dog". He created an acrobatic fighting style capable of killing if needed. During one of his missions, he was shot in the back, but was saved by Mr. Big, who served alongside him. John returned to South Town with Mr. Big, and joined Big's crime syndicate, while staying in the military in order to smuggle weapons for him. Ryo and Robert confront him during their search for Yuri, beating him and causing him to give the location of Mr. Big. After this event, John retires from the military and tries to live a peaceful life with his wife, but is invited to the King Of Fighters tournament, bringing him into action one last time.
