Allen Snider

Long admired as the strongest karate fighter in America, Allen Snider lost in the first fight of the tournament. The challenger was Ken. After the fight, Ken assured him that he was still a big fish in a little pond - he must battle on. Allen now travels the world with Ken to become even stronger.

Allen fights in a similar manner to other karate characters, such as Ryu and Ken. Where he differs is the incorporation of kickboxing techniques, such as the Triple Break, and his most powerful move, the Justice Fist, a punch that can deflect projectiles.

Allen Snider, along with Blair Dame, does not appear in any of the EX sequels. Instead, they appeared in the Arika-developed Fighting Layer, which was distributed at the arcades by Namco.
