Line 107:
* [[Doomed Hometown]]: Southtown, the setting of sister series/AlternateContinuity ''Fatal Fury'' and ''Art of Fighting'', is all but systematically wiped out by Clone Zero's [[Kill Sat]] at the end of ''2000'' [[Turned Against Their Masters|in his attempt to rebel against the NESTS cartel]] (this ''does'' lead to Takuma's [[Moment of Awesome (Sugar Wiki)|CMOA]] where he redirects the Zero Cannon's laser with a [[Kamehame Hadoken|Max-Power Haoh Shi Koh Ken]]/Suburu Ou Shikoh Ken to save King). However, this plot point is absent in the next game, and by the time of ''2003'', the citizens seemingly have worked together to rebuild the shambled city.
* [[Downloadable Content]]: ''XIII'' has 3 characters made DLC, all three of them being different versions of existing characters basically serving as nostalgia.
** "Iori with the Power of Flames" is Iori as he used to be, using his old moveset from other KOF games before Ash stole his powers. He also claims the SDM version of his Ya Otome from ''King of Fighters '99'', his Yamisogi DM from ''King of Fighters 2000'' and his Neomax is the Homurahotogi HSDM from ''2002'' with a mch, MUCH larger explosion that triggers the very moment he grabs your head (unlike in ''2002'' where there was a brief pause when he did).
** "NESTS Kyo" is Kyo in his ''King of Fighters '99'' outfit with his signature "rekka" moveset from '''96'' to ''XI''. He loses his aerial Orochinagi DM but reclaims his Mu Shiki DM. His Neomax "Totsuka" is a whole new move involving a charging fire punch tat causes a gigantic explosion.
** "Mr. Karate" is Takuma in his classic ''[[Art of Fighting]]'' boss persona (he has it as an alt costume of sorts, but here, its a legitimate EX moveset). His moves (And by the looks of things, his personality here) are based around Serious Mr. Karate from ''SNK vs. Capcom Chaos'' while his Neomax is a whole new move starting with a punch and ending with a flashy, explosive karate chop with Taku... sorry, Mr. Karate powered by the golden spirit of a real tengu.
Line 134:
* [[Mirror Match]]: Not just a game mechanic, considering the number of Kyo clones there are. He even complains about how many of them there are in a few games set after the NESTS Saga (namely ''King of Fighters XI'' where he jokes that he could make a baseball team out of himself).
* [[The Movie]]: There's one, starring [[Ray Park]] as Rugal... and let's leave it at that.
* [[Mundane Made Awesome]]: Several (although which side of the door things swing on is a case-by-case basis).
** One of Rugal's super moves is an overhead stomp. If it connects, he breaks his opponent's neck, crushes them into the ground, and proceeds to '''''[[Everything's Better with Spinning|perpetually spin in 360 degrees]] [[This Is a Drill|and drill the opponent in the gut]]'''''. Damage is sub-par, but it's well worth it. This eventually contributed to the [[Memetic Mutation|You Spin Me Right Round/Rugalspin meme]].
** In ''2002 Unlimited Match'':
Line 203:
* [[Video Game Long Runners]]: "It all began in '''94''..." All joking aside, the series includes twelve titles (not including [[Updated Rerelease|Updated Rereleases]] like '''98 Ultimate Match'', ''2002: Unlimited Match'' and ''Neowave''), with several portable [[Spin-Off|Spin Offs]], ''four'' [[Alternate Continuity|separate continuities]] (''Maximum Impact'', ''EX'', ''R'', ''Days of Memories''), and various other titles like the RPG-styled ''King of Fighters: Kyo'' and pachinko slot games. ''The King of Fighters XIII'' is currently the latest game.
* [[Villain Decay]]: Duke in ''Maximum Impact 2''.
* [[Wham! Episode]]: ''XIII'', considering its ending.
** The ''entire'' "Tales of Ash" saga is pretty much a Wham ''[[Up to Eleven|Arc]]'' (Chizuru and Iori lose their powers, the seal on Orochi is broken, Ash beats ''Orochi Iori'' effortlessly, etc), but this is all compounded by {{spoiler|the climax of ''XIII''}}.
