  Iori’s life must’ve been weird, imagine being a successful bassist then one day you’re able to shoot fire out of your hands and you suddenly have the urge to kill a random 19 year old high schooler.<br><br>Edit: Team samsho is dlc for kofxv.

  That unknown planner who made 100 different bonus game ideas deserves a medal.

  Iori still is a musician and dislikes violence despite acting like violent person in the kof tournaments. His power was already activated since his birth.

  Fun fact: &nbsp;Choi is actually beloved in Korea and treated like a high tier character. &nbsp;That&apos;s why he&apos;s in SvC Chaos.

  Just as a friendly reminder, we owe Smash’s existence to KoF.

  I love how it&apos;s canon that krauser isn&apos;t really interested in kof he only went to 96 because his teammates were Mr big and geese 🤣

  Fun fact much later on in the KOF canon to be more precise after the Ash Crimson Saga ended in KOFXIII Robert would finally pop the big question to Yuri aka ask her to marry him and she said yes meaning Robert and Yuri are now fiancé, and fiancée whereas Ryo still has no freaking clue that King has a crush on him.&apos;

  Kim’s rehabilitation idea is actually a fatal fury reference. In 2 he enters the tournament to reform krauser from his evil ways and he succeeds in his ending as krauser is seen being a respectable member of society. In fact he originally was usually very successful at this to the point in made him a national hero. <br><br>This also a faithful depiction of the real world taekwondo associations overarching message of using one’s strength as a means of justice. It’s why he’s so obsessed with it because he takes these virtues to heart even if others don’t think the same way he believes in justice strong enough to stand by that belief no matter any criticisms he gets for coming off as self righteous.

  Well, Rugal is an arms dealer. He probably was going to sell that missile at some point before he evaporated.

  Rugal&apos;s ability to copy moves was, much like a lot of other things, referenced in King of Fighters Destiny, when he used Kyo, Terry, and Heidern&apos;s moves against them.

  Shouts out to the Mexico/Latin region for always supporting kof endlessly
