Line 7:
** [[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.
** Shion's seiyuu is Tokiyo Ogawa, a 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.
Line 80 ⟶ 82:
** Akoya Sogi (who has voiced Mai from the beginning up to ''XI'') has been replaced by [[Ami Koshimizu]] as of ''King of Fighters Sky Stage''. Given that Mrs. Sogi has apparently retired, it's a safe bet to assume that Mrs. Koshimizu will take over in all subsequent appearances. This could also be the reason behind Mai's absence in ''XII''.
** For Kyo, Andrew Roth (his English VA in the ''Maximum Impact'' series) was replaced by Peter von Gomm come ''XII''.
** The [[Author Existence Failure|unfortunate consequence]] of the suicide of seiyuu [[Daisuke Gouri]] led to Raiden's voice duty being handed over to Iain Gibb in ''XIII''.
** Krizalid is a rather perplexing example in that ''both'' of his seiyuu are used in ''2002 Unlimited Match'' (Iwamoto for Krizalid as a standalone character, Yano for Krizalid as one of Original Zero's Strikers). Semi-justified since they are two different Krizalids, the one who backing Zero being a clone of the one who hosted the '''99'' tournament.
* [[Playing Against Type]]:
