• Cross-Dressing Voices: Hokutomaru is voiced by Junko Takeuchi.
• Fan Nickname:
  • The Pretzel for Geese's Raging Storm super, which was made with an absurdly difficult input command for the sake of nostalgia.
    • His Real Bout Special form's name of "Nightmare Geese" started out as this as well. The King of Fighters Maximum Impact 2 canonized it.
  • "Dancing Bob" for Bob Wilson, via Memetic Mutation. See here.
• Flip-Flop of God: White's either Billy's half-brother, or some random crime lord who popped out of nowhere. Fanon seems to go with the former, since it gives him a ulterior motive for going after Billy.
• Hey, It's That Voice!:
  • Would you believe that Terry's dub voice for the anime is the same as Heero Yuy?
  • In English, Lily's voiced by Willow Johnson, best known as Kasumi Tendo, Kikyo and Lalah Sune. Noticing a trend here?
  • Tony is voiced by a young Tony Sampson in English. You might recognize the name as that of Eddy.
  • Sulia is voiced by Myriam Sirois, who has a limited list of VA credits, but is famous for voicing another blue-haired protagonist... Akane Tendo.
  • Preteen ninja goofball Hokutomaru is voiced by Junko Takeuchi, whose most famous role is... Naruto Uzumaki.
• The Other Darrin:
  • For Andy, Jun Hashimoto was replaced by Keiichi Nanba post-Special.
  • For Joe, Katsuhisa Namase to Nobuyuki Hiyama.
  • For Raiden, Michael Beard was replaced by John Hulaton in Wild Ambition.
  • For Billy, Katsuhisa Namase was replaced by Atsushi Yamanishi when the Real Bout series began.
  • For Geese, Kong Kuwata replaced Katsuhisa Namase in 3.
  • For Cheng, Jun Hashimoto was replaced by Shigefumi Nakai come Real Bout Special.
  • For Laurence, Katsuhisa Namase was replaced by Hiroyuki Arita in the Real Bout series.
  • For Wolfgang Krauser, Michael Beard was replaced by B.J. Love in Real Bout Special.
• Talking to Himself:
  • Satoshi Hashimoto voices both Terry and Kim.
  • Katsuhise Namase voiced Joe, Billy, Geese, and Laurence in 2 and Special.
  • Kong Kuwata is the seiyuu of Duck, Richard Meyer, and ... Geese Howard.
  • Wolgang Krauser's VA, B.J. Love, also voices Franco Bash, and was the voice of the announcer in 3.
  • Jun Hashimoto voices Andy and Cheng in 2 and Special.
    • He also voices Kim Dong Hwan and Kain.
  • Toshiyuki Morikawa voices both Bob and Hon Fu.
  • Kouji Ishii is Sokaku's seiyuu. Ishii also voices Yamazaki.
  • Tizoc shares a seiyuu (Hikaru Hanada) with Knushnood Butt.
  • Kevin shares a seiyuu (Yo Kitazawa) with Grant.
• Throw It In:
  • The dev team at SNK was so impressed with Nobuyuki Hiyama's performance as Joe in the second anime special (extra Hot Bloodedness and all), that they decided to have him actually voice Joe from 3 onwards.
  • Many of Duck's Catch Phrases (such as "You're an angel baby!" and "Wonderful!") were ad-libs from his original VA, Michael Beard. Most have stuck since.
  • Geese's One-Winged Angel was given the Fan Nickname of Nightmare Geese due to being a figurative and literal nightmare. Come KOF: Maximum Impact 2, SNK said "Sure, why not?" and actually canonized the name.
  • The spinning supers (Senpuuken/Hadou Senpuukyaku) that Wolfgang Krauser and Terry used throughout the animated movies eventually became Krauser's Gigatech Cyclone. Sadly, his youthful beauty, lack of a mustache and scars, as well as an authentic German-sounding voice (which were well-received by fans) were not retained.
• What Could Have Been:
  • According to some sources, the original plan was to include a male ninja in Mai's place. One can only try imagine how different things would have been if that route had been taken back in 1992...
  • Apparently, in Fatal Fury 3, Mai was to be replaced by Alice Chrysler, a female student of Kim. This idea was scrapped, and Alice herself went on to become Alice Garnet Nakata in the Days of Memories Dating Sim series. Both Alices pop up in quite a few cameos.
  • The finale of the second anime special originally would have been Wolfgang Krauser up against not only Terry, but Andy, Joe and Mai as well. This concept was scrapped, but resurfaced in The Motion Picture.
  • In Fatal Fury: The Motion Picture, it was planned for Ryo to team up with the good guys! Aside, from King and Eiji being replaced by Panni and Hauer (see below), Mr. Big was also to appear.
  • Kevin was originally going to wield a knife to increase his reach, but this was taken out due to balancing issues. Not that it mattered...
  • Originally, King was to take Panni's place in the movie, and Eiji Kisaragi was originally in place of Hauer. Given Hauer's quirks, this might have possibly been a chance to poke fun at Eiji's English Art of Fighting 2 ending, where he proclaims his love for Mai (who, thanks to chronology, would have only been a child at the time).
  • White was possibly meant to be officially playable in Dominated Mind. You can access him with a Gameshark code, and he contains some information that you only get from the other main characters. However, he has no character select icon, and his movelist menu is just Terry's.
