Sammo

Bug: Occasionally (in particular during results calculation) the Time Attack mode returns an untranslated error messages in Korean.

Sammo

Other mistake: The description of the Memory item says; "It can be used for different a Fighter's awakening."

Sammo

Bug: During the whole KoF98 storyline, dialogues are played at the beginning of the stage and before the boss fights, played the exact same way word for word.

Sammo

Bug: The Festival Idol version of Athena Asamiya in the Advent Dungeon acts weird when hit through her Super moves; she keeps throwing combos for the whole duration of the Super even if you successfully Stun her (and the Stun animation is playing), and when you KO her she just shows up lying on the ground instantly without falling.

Sammo

Other mistake: Amongst the various generic enemies you can face, there are construction workers with a "New York City" print shirt. The character model mirrors when they face left, including the writing on the shirt.

Sammo

Bug: The moves of the WWE fighters that involve hitting a grounded opponent (The People's Elbow, the Five Knuckle Shuffle, etc) more often than not don't actually connect with the opponent but are way off target even when damage is calculated.

Sammo

Other mistake: In the WWE event, Seth Rollins, Becky Lynch and co. face off against the female team. Yuri Sakazaki in the story uses lines (references to the Lilien Knights and disdain for cops) that are blatantly not written for her, but for the character of Bonne Jenet.

Sammo

Plot hole: In 7-1 of KoF98, the protagonist is saved by Chizuru Kagura, and he mentions "I didn't know who she was, but I knew that I'll be fighting her in the future." The protagonist met Chizuru in KoF96 and 97 already and interacted with her multiple times.

Sammo

Plot hole: The KoF97 story mode starts with a double flub; Serina announces that the opening matchups for KoF96 have been announced (wrong year), and in the background there are big screens showing, amongst the other characters, also Ash Crimson, a character that won't enter the saga until 2003.

Sammo

Character mistake: In the KoF98 saga, before meeting the Orochi Female team, the protagonist says to Mature "If it's between the Orochis, then you should surrender against Male Orochi Team, then." The repetition of "then" is an obvious mistake, but the meaning of the sentence itself is also inscrutable.

Sammo

Character mistake: Commenting Kim's team matchup in KoF97, Chris from the New Faces Team says "an ex-convict and a Taekwondo instructor? Sounds like a tough match." He should say "Two ex-convicts", since the team is made of 3 people, with one being Kim (the Taekwondo instructor) and the other two are the criminals Choi and Chang - it is probably a mistranslation.

Sammo

Other mistake: One of the roulette events of the game is called "Serena's roulette", but the name of the character is Serina, as shown plenty of times during story mode when she is an interviewer.

Sammo

Character mistake: In "Even if you sigh", part of chapter 7 of KoF97, Choi Bounge says "we really tried to take Master Kim proud", instead of Make.

Sammo

Other mistake: In "Failing defense" (Chapter 6 of Kof97), the protagonist, grateful for the fight that gives him the excuse to stop carrying the surprisingly heavy sidekick, says that he should "be" lunch to them. (instead of course, of "buy").

Sammo

Other mistake: One of the available relationships between characters is called "Leona approved weakling team." The description says that it increases ATK and then "deals additional damage equal to 3% of damage dealt upon attacking Leona", but it can't be right, simply because Leona is not part of that team! "Leona-approved" is simply a flavour text as she is story-wise the one who puts those potential members in that particular tier.

Other mistake: The railroad background seen at the beginning of KoF96 has a sign saying "Railroad CROSED."

Sammo

Plot hole: In the final battle of KoF96, the protagonists refers to Goenitz by name, but he never introduced himself, and the previous time he appeared he was simply called 'Man who looks like a pastor."

Sammo

Other mistake: The picture icon used to display King of Fighters 95 in Story mode (stage selection, waiting screens etc.) is, of all the possible teams, of a team that the protagonist does not meet at all in that year. By contrast, KoF 94 shows Kyo Kusanagi's team Japan and KoF 96 the Boss team led by Geese Howard, those are logical choices the protagonist interacts with and have influence on the story - the Psycho Soldiers team is not even mentioned in KoF 95.

Sammo

Kaya: Don't think about it too much...When do mobile game stories make sense?
