To view it, you may need a Japanese language viewer plug-in available at njstar.com. If your PC supports Japanese,then you don't need it. Also, I am Japanese, so if there are any english grammar mistakes, I'm sorry for it. This FAQ is best viewed with Windows Notepad or Microsoft Word 2000. -Contents --Introduction --Revision history --Characters' translations --Miscellaneous --Cameos --Credits *Revision History: 12/16/2002, Ver. 1.0 : First version of this FAQ written. 12/19/2002, Ver. 2.0 : Added more characters. 12/25/2002, Ver. 2.2 : X-mas! Yay! More characters added. Improved layout 1/2/2003, Ver. 3.0 : First 2003 update. Added more characters and speech. Added Miscellaneous section. 11/2/2003, Ver. 3.2 : Added Special Intros section. More speech too. It's been a while since I wrote a FAQ, and december is my favorite month so I was in the mood to write one. Besides, The King of Fighters 2002 is like its predecessors, a great game, and many new voices and re-dubbed characters have been added. I decided a vocal collection would be nice. This is a Vocal Collection of The King of Fighters 2002 and a translation for the Japanese speech. I got it from the game ROM. I have taken some text from my Capcom vs SNK2 FAQ, since some characters in KOF2002 appear in that game. This is a very preliminar version of the KOF2002 FAQ, as I have just started to play the game, and I haven't listened to all the game voices. For foreign languages, like Korean, translation software was used. Also, if some wordad are not translated, it's because I am in the process of checking if the character is exactly saying that, once I make sure, I will translate it. For spanish translations, thanks to g_soft@hotmail.com Translations are as follows: First romaji text, then translation to english. Capital letters in romaji for each kanji forming the move names. ============================================================================= CHARACTERS' TRANSLATIONS: ============================================================================= *Kusanagi Kyou* -Speech : Start : "Ikuze!" : "Let's go!"

It contains info nobody cares about, like cameos and team music. KOF2002 has some interesting miscellaneous stuff, and maybe nobody cares about it, but I do. --CAMEOS- Lots of SNK characters can be seen in the backgrounds of KOF2002. I like when games include cameo characters. Here they are: --China Stage -Li XiangFei -Bao & his pet bird -Cheng Sinzan -Tung Fu Rue -HonFu -Lin -Lee -Jin Chonshu -Jin ChonRei --Mexico Stage -King -Duck King -Rock Howard -Tizoc -Bob Wilson -Lucky Glauber -Brian Battler -Heidern --Cambodia Stage -Sue Il -Bae Dal --Italia Stage -Wolfgang Krauser -Mr.Big & the girls that always are with him. -Heidern --Japan Stage -Kisaragi Eiji -Toudou Ryuuhaku & his daughter Kasumi -Yamada Jyuubei -Geese Howard -Heavy D! --Holland Stage -Mochizuki Sokaku -Wang Ko San --Brazil Stage -Kim JaeHoon -Jhun Hoon --TEAM MUSIC- Each team in KOF2002 has its own background music. Many of these bgm's are returning from previous KOF's or SNK games this year. True SNK fans will recognize them immediately. Anyhow, here they are: -Yagami team : music theme from KOF'96 and KOF'98. -Ikari team : music theme from KOF'94. -Garou team : Terry's music theme from Garou Densetsu 2. -Girls team : Yuri's music theme from RyuuKo no Ken 2. -K's team : music theme from KOF'99. -Seth's team : music theme from KOF'2000. -Korean team : music theme from Garou Densetsu 2. Very good. -Kyokugen-Ryuu team : music theme from KOF'2000. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This FAQ is by no means complete. This must be barely 10% of all that I have to add. I will keep updating as I play the game thoroughly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Credits and thanks. - This FAQ was written by Kibagami.
