Version 3.7 - New entries and corrections (thanks to Basel). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1) Introduction Okay, I was bored for the holidays and since it has been quite I while since I've written another faq so I thought I'd just write up a cast faq of all the characters of my fave game series, the King Of Fighters. I wrote one for the SF series quite a while back, and I'm having it updated as well. : ) This faq will aim to clearly state all the characters in the KOF universe, and if requested I might also extend the characters from the KOF universe to the other related characters, such as The Art Of Fighting, Fatal Fury, and Real Bout. But for now, I'll only state the characters who appeared in the KOF series 94 to 99, and the number of their appearances. As a side note, KOF '99 was titled : Episode 5 in the game's intro. This probably means that the story events in '99 happens after the events of KOF '97, and KOF '98 was just a game to satisfy the gamers without a proper storyline to continue. Since Psyke hasn't updated the FAQ although 2000 was out and now that 2001 is finally out, I e-mailed him with all the info so he would update it but apparently, he doesn't use that mail anymore which shows he is really out of FAQ-writing. Anyway, I'm updating it for him by adding the characters for 2000 and 2001 along with some corrections. Enjoy! Special thanks to Blader-X for doing the other games (Garou, AOF, Psycho Soldier, Ikari Warriors) and ShadowNash for doing the list of the newer titles (cross-overs, handheld releases). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: 94 : The King Of Fighters '94 95 : The King Of Fighters '95 96 : The King Of Fighters '96 97 : The King Of Fighters '97 98 : The King Of Fighters '98: Dream Match Never Ends 99 : The King Of Fighters '99: Millennium Battle 99E : The King Of Fighters '99: Evolution (Dreamcast version of '99 with additional strikers.
