The King of Fighters/Trivia: Difference between revisions

** Yuri's parody of the [[Street Fighter|Shun Goku Satsu]], the Yuri Chou Enbu, is sometimes called the Shin Yuri Satsu.

** Kim is sometimes nicknamed as The Beijing King, thanks to the [[My Way Entertainment]] fan dub of one of the ''Fatal Fury'' OVAs.

** Robert's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1U_5rCax8Y Hien Shippu Ryuujin Kyaku Neo MAX] is alternatively called ''[[Tony Hawk Pro Skater|Robert Garcia's Pro Skater XIII]]'' and [[Kamen Rider|Rider Kick]].

** [[SNK Boss|Cheesenitz]] and [[Unfortunate Names|Goenadz]] for the Goenitz himself, as well as the Goenitzpin, another [[Memetic Mutation|meme]] spawned in the wake of the Rugalspin thanks to his new HSDM/MAX2 in ''2002: Unlimited Match''.

*** Also there's Betty [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMMJkvY4OUc for an] [[Dummied Out|unused DM]] for Krauser in '''96''.

** Shingo's notebook full of information on his techniques has been known as both the [[Death Note (Manga)|Death Note]] and [[Game FAQs]] thanks to his HSDM in ''2002: Unlimited Match''.

** To answer the first question: Is Geese Howard [[Schrodingers Cat|dead or alive]]? There ya go.

** Luise's profile and storyline in the ''Maximum Impact'' series were written to be deliberately different from one another, most likely to prevent spoilers.

** Athena had Reiko Fukai in '''94'', Moe Nagasaki in '''95'', Tamao Satou in '''96'', Yukina Kurisu in '''97'', [[Haruna Ikezawa]] (aka [[Keroro Gunsou|Momoka]]) post-'''98'' (Ikezawa also voices Foxy), Robyn Gryphe in the English localization of ''Maximum Impact'', Lily Kong in the English localization of ''Maximum Impact 2'', and Miwa Gardner in the English localization of ''XII''.

** Rugal's main VA is Toshimitsu Arai, who also voices Heidern. Other VAs are [[Banjo Ginga]] (in the '''94'' Dengeki Bunko drama CD) and [[Norio Wakamoto]] (in ''2002'' only; notable in that this is a rare occasion where the fans preferred the original seiyuu ''over'' Wakamoto).

** Igniz is voiced by [[Norio Wakamoto]]. Nothing more needs to be said.

** [[The Other Darrin|As of]] ''KOF [[Bullet Hell|Sky Stage]]'' and ''XIII'', Mai [[Ami Koshimizu|is]] [[Code Geass|Kallen]] and [[School Rumble|Tenma]].

** Yamazaki and Gato [[Kouji Ishii|are]] [[Azumanga Daioh (Manga)|Kimura-sensei]]. Could you imagine them talking about their "waifu"?

** [[Memetic Mutation|"]]'''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann|WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK]] MAXIMA [[Katsuyuki Konishi|IS]]?'''[[Memetic Mutation|"]]

** Originally, Chang and Choi were going to be paired up with another dangerous criminal to from the "Fugitive Team". Kim was a last-minute addition, thus setting up to whole "rehabilitation" gig.

** King's Surprise Rose super move from ''Art of Fighting 2'' was her original DM in '''94'' but was scrapped for some reason. King's designer then came up with the Illusion Dance DM and it was well received.

** Heidern's moveset and their names were so strange that the designers were going to make him an alien as explanation for his "abilities". However, the lead designer became attached to the character, giving him a tragic backstory instead and keeping him as a human.

** "Chris of the Flames of Destiny" was originally going to have black flames, but the idea was dumped as they would have been too hard to notice in his rather dark stage.

** [[Fan Disservice|One of Orochi's early designs was that of a naked Chris using an energy ball to attack...]]

** [http://game.snkplaymore.co.jp/official/kof-xiii/blog/archives/2010/08/post_28.html According to the Developers' Blog] for ''XIII'', Chang, Malin, Momoko, and Oswald were meant to be in the game. Chang was reduced to a cameo in the India stage, whereas the other three cameo in endings (the Women Fighters Team, Psycho Soldiers Team, and Elizabeth Team, respectively).

** The Neo MAX supers in ''XIII'' were at first created as extensions to normal supers, but because of testing feedback they were eventually changed into stand alone supers. A few Neo MAX supers in the final build still look like they were supposed to follow up on normal supers, some of them only effective gameplay-wise when used as such.

** Adelheid was apparently meant to be playable in XIII, based on some full-body and winpose sketches by Eisuke Ogura.
