Art of Fighting/John


 * Name: John Crawley
 * First appearance: Art of Fighting
 * Other appearances: Art of Fighting 2

John Crawley (ジョン・クローリー) is a Martial Arts Instructor with a brutal and aggressive fighting style. He is known to his friends as "The Madman" and "The killing Machine". No one knows what his enemies call him, nor do they dare to ask.

John was once a pilot of unparalleled skill, but then the marine took a air-to-air missile to his eye. Unable to fly, Crawley was driven to drinking and unsociable behavior. Years later, he was drummed out of the service after being implicated on gun running missions supplying the evil, Mr.Big. Insisting he was framed, the dejected, former ruler of skies now comes to Southtown to set history right.

In the first Art of Fighting, Crawley has longer hair. By the time Art of Fighting 2 occurs, his hair is cut shorter.

Crawley also has been compared to the Street Fighter II character Guile because of their similar hair colour, special moves, and military motifs.

In John's AOF2 ending, the US Military attempts to recruit him to rescue the President's canary, named Tweeter. John refuses, telling the General "Hasta la vista!"
