. Mickey Rogers
(LAST UPDATE: 1/18/2010)

GENERAL/STORY:
Mickey Rogers was a professional boxer, but was expelled from the ranks after he accidentally killed a man in the ring. He currently stalks Southtown seeking opponents to vent his anger and frustration on, and enters the tournament for the same reason.

In the first AOF, Mickey has long hair, worn in dreadlocks. In AOF2, he has short hair. In Art of Fighting 1, Mickey becomes a small time hood who works for Mr. Big so that he can get money as a street hustler. in Art of Fighting 2, Mickey has since reformed, wanting to get back into the professional boxing circuit.

In Mickey's AOF2 ending, his trainer Pops (who is visible in Mickey's stage as well) informs him that his time has come, and he has a title bout. We then see Mickey training for the fight, confident that 'Mickey the Mauler' is going to be the next champion of the world. His Burning Upper is similar to Geese Howard's Reppuken.

REVIEW:
If you didn't know, Mickey was sporting pink WAY before it was "cool" to wear pink. Check out those pink tight shorts, pink headband, & pink shoes... That's just too much pink. WTF is wrong with this guy? He had some cool boxing moves and all, but he was an awkward design mainly due to his outfit.

Since his original appearance (and sexual orientation) was questionable, SNK changed up his design in the sequel, giving him short hair and making him tuck in his shirt. Although his second appearance was more appropriate, his design was still quite plain and unoriginal.
