Line 5:
** [[SNK]] says that most of Oswald's background (which has not yet been revealed) has already been surmised by the fans.
* [[Billing Displacement]]: ''XIV'' has Shun'ei as a new protagonist of the series. However, Kyo and Iori are featured very heavily in the promotion of the game, Kyo is also on the front cover of the PS4 box art along with Iori, Mai and Nakoruru, while Shun'ei was put on the background. The opening movie of ''XIV'' doesn't help either, it focused too much on Kyo and Iori, while Shun'ei and his team only appeared as side characters.
* [[Cross-Dressing Voices]]: Chris and Orochi are both voiced by Rio Ogata, who is female.
* [[Development Gag]]: May not even have been intentional. Prior to creating Kyo Kusanagi, SNK had drafted his character as "Syo Kirishima", a more archetypal fighting game protagonist. While this was eventually dropped in favor of Kyo, Syo showed up a couple of times in the NESTS arc as a special Striker character. During those appearances, he was voiced by the aforementioned Mitsuo Iwata. Come ''King of Fighters 2002'', Iwata would be voicing Kusanagi, who is a throwback Kyo clone complete with his '''95'' moveset.
* [[Executive Meddling]]: When Eolith sponsored Playmore so they could pick up the scraps from SNK's fallout, they requested a "Korean Athena". The end result was May Lee.
