Alba Meira is the protagonist of the King of Fighters: Maximum Impact series, a mysterious fighter from Southtown who opposes criminal syndicates while protecting his younger brother. Known as the 'Lone Wolf of Southtown,' he embodies determination and justice in a city plagued by corruption.
Alba Meira is a calm, determined, and honorable fighter who shoulders responsibility beyond his years. Though he grew up in the harsh underworld of Southtown, he retained a sense of justice and moral conviction, contrasting with his more carefree younger brother Soiree. Alba is serious and somewhat stoic, preferring actions over words, but he deeply values loyalty and family. His drive to protect others and bring order to Southtown makes him a natural leader. While he is not arrogant, Alba exudes quiet confidence and resilience, inspiring trust and respect among allies. His inner struggles with the violent environment around him shape his growth, balancing between vengeance and justice as he defines his own path as a protector.
Fans view Alba Meira as a refreshing and admirable protagonist in the King of Fighters: Maximum Impact series. His visual design, with his striking red jacket and calm demeanor, has been praised for capturing the essence of a modern hero in a gritty urban setting. Many players appreciated his noble personality and dedication to justice, which contrasted well with his younger brother’s more lighthearted nature. Gameplay-wise, Alba is remembered as a versatile fighter with accessible yet stylish moves, making him appealing to both casual and competitive players. However, his popularity suffered due to the Maximum Impact series being considered non-canon within the main KOF timeline, limiting his broader recognition. Despite this, Alba retains a cult following, with fans often requesting his return in mainline KOF titles. Overall, he is admired as a strong, morally centered character whose potential remains underappreciated in the wider KOF franchise.
