#The king of fighters 99 rom series#
This comic is hard to get your hands on in other parts of the world, but check it out if you have the opportunity.Ībout Whip : The plan was to introduce this character in KOF '96, but since Leona was already a part of the Ikari Team she began her series of appearances in KOF '99. Makishima, but in a serialized KOF comic that came out in Hong Kong, he, for some reason, became a 'beautiful woman doctor'. Strange how things happen, isn't it? Maxima was originally modified by the male scientist Dr. The designers were initially supposed to design a character that used body slams, but the finished character became a fist-fighter. "Garou - Mark of the Wolves" was being developed concomitantly with KOF '99, so the staff learned that MOW's main character (Rock) looked like K' (causing the supervising designer to lose a few pounds from panic).Ībout Maxima : With the growing influence of teenagers, it seems the concept for Maxima evolved from a desire to introduce a sober and reliable middle-age character (sad state of affairs though when a twenty-something male is referred to as 'middle-aged'). The reason for his hair being bushier than need be may be a reflection of the conditions around him. The Fatal Fury Team music theme is a remixed version of Terry's theme in "Fatal Fury Wild Ambition".Ībout K' (K Dash) : K' initially sported a slicked back hairstyle, but this was nixed by the powers that be and that's how the 'hairdo' for the hero of the NESTS Chronicles got changed.

There is not a hint of the hoopla surrounding the entrants like that of the previous tournament which thrilled the whole world.

The adoption of Striker Matches, however, has been decided for this tournament." The fighters cannot hide their surprise at this unfamiliar mode of battle. Meanwhile, Heidern, who sees through the suspicious tournament, dispatches Ralf and Clark to investigate the truth behind this tournament.īenimaru Nikaido, as well, receives an invitation to KOF and to join the Special Team consisting of other carefully selected fighters.Īmong the pre-selected teammates listed appear two names: K' (K-Dash) and Maxima.
