* [[Flip-Flop of God]]: Is this series an [[Alternate Continuity]] to ''[[Art of Fighting]]'' and ''[[Fatal Fury]]''? What gender is Shion? Is Kula Diamond a clone or just an altered human? SNK can't seem to decide.

** Perhaps as call back to her previous work with SNK ([[As Himself|a cameo role]] in ''Fatal Fury: [[The Anime of the Game|The Motion Picture]]'', Cham Cham in ''[[Samurai Shodown]]''), Moe is voiced by seiyuu Reiko Chiba. Fans of ''[[Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger]]'' might remember her as Mei aka Ptera Ranger.
*** As a bonus, Kyo's other partner Reiji is voiced by [[Tetsu Inada]] who's done a [[Super Sentai]] role or two (most famously Doggie Kruger of ''[[Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger]]''). Aside of that, he's also [[Dynasty Warriors|Lu Bu and Huang Gai]], [[Marvel vs. Capcom 3

Line 86:
*** However, ''KOF [[Bullet Hell|Sky Stage]]'' seems to be using Nonaka instead of Iwata for the voice of Kusanagi, which of course plays this trope straight again.
*** In ''XII'', he shares an Englsh VA (Peter von Gomm) with ''Ash'' of all people.
** King shares her seiyuu (Harumi Ikoma, who also is the announcer in ''KOF '96'', ''KOF '98'', ''KOF XI'', and ''KOF XII'') with Blue Mary. Ikoma also voiced King's brother [[Spell My Name

** Kazuhiro "Kay" Inage (who voiced Robert in ''KOF '94'' and '''95'') also voices Lucky. Mantaro Koichi (who voiced Robert from ''KOF '96'' to ''2003'') was also the announcer in '''97''.
* [[Throw It In]]: Hyena's lines were devised in a collaborative effort between the seiyuu of Hyena, Alba, and Soiree (who consequently became good friends through the experience).
** Krauser Gigatech Cyclone was actually taken from the [[Everything's Better
* [[What Could Have Been]]: Beside the various prototype designs of characters (many of which can be seen as Strikers in ''2000''), many plot points were shafted or altered:
