1) Introduction


<Psyke>
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.

<Orochi K>
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!

Alright! That's all the characters and their teams/appearances for you!
I'd really like to add in their other appearances outside of the KOF series,
but I'd really need help for that to happpen. So, if you have the character
list for the other SNK games feel free to send them in!

<Orochi K>
As you may have seen at the top of the guide, Blader-X has already stepped
up and the covered the other series. KOF Kyo is still missing though. I'll
try and get the game to complete the FAQ. (Thx again, dude!)

Psyke, mail me if you happen to see this updated version, will ya? Need to
confirm something with you!
