v1.6... Anyways story wise... Geese wants to know more about the Orochi power and hires Blue Mary and Yamazaki to enter the tournament with Billy. Shingo Yabuki is Kyo's student, eager to learn and enters the tournament by himself! Iori is entered by Chizuru Kagura! He didn't even know about the tournament! However ... There are two sides to the story. The Official SNK press tells of the New Faces team being a band of singers, and Iori was responsible for their failed concert... however in the game, this plot is completley abandoned... ............. EDIT TEAM ENDING------------ @ means I cant remember this bit word perfect ------------------------ After defeating Evil /Iori Leona ... *pic of Players team* Player:"Did you think I'd lose to someone who'd lost himself?" Yashiro "Well done, that was good... for a sideshow" Pl"What??" *flicker of Orochi team intermit with players team* PL"Who are you?" Yashiro"Does the name Orochi ring a bell?" PL"Did you say Orochi?" Pl"What?" O"suprised? Its to be expected." *Yashiro"with the Orochi seal broken, we needed energy to awaken the Orochi" *Shermie"You have done this for us!" *PL"How?" *Chris"A place where great energy is expended, can you guess?" screen flickers with pics of the KOF cast PL"You used the King of Fighters for your vile purposes!" *Yashiro"We just need a little more, taking care of you should do it" *PL "Oh yeah?" -----------------------fight Orochi New Faces Team Large picture of defeated New Faces Team slowly scrolls down screen Yashiro"Well Fought, but sadly it was all in vain" PL"What?" Shemie"It won't be long now" Pl"No way!" Chris" The time is here, all who can't hack it are due for a long sleep" Pl"You mean???" *Chris rises behind his team mates in a trance, eyes closed* *Extreme close up of Chris's Closed Eyes* Pl"Who is this guy?" Chris"O...ro...chi.." Pl"You???" *Eyes open and go cat like* Orochi"you cannot defeat me, I know what you're going to do!" Pl"what, you can read our minds?" Orochi"what little is there... I know what all humans think ...Even if you beat me it doesnt mean peace" Orochi" Now all returns to nothing" ... Upon his defeat ..Picture of Orochi on the floor, looking at you. Orochi" Ignorant mortals, why do you bother? Nothing has changed since 1800 years ago... You are heading on the path of self destruction!" Pl"do not worry about us!" Pl"Ah!" *Orochi's body levitates off the ground, the screen flashes red and black and everything dissappears!* PL"Whats that!" PL"W-where are we?" O"nowhere..." Pl"You mean!?" O"No not that...I have returned to my sleep, now the dimensions bend." "You have a chance, ten, a hundred years, and I will meet you again. I look forward to it" PL"Where are you!" *light surrounds players team* PL"What the?"..."What's this??" *dawn, over the sea. -View slides to left- On a cliff stand the players team* Pl"Is it over?" Pl"Maybe..." Black screen---- THE BATTLE END THANKS TO OUR HEROES, THE WORLD IS SAFE AGAIN. RIGHT, WRONG, WHO CAN SAY? @HUMANITY. GREED, AMBITION, @HUMANKIND IS HEADED TOWARDS SELF DESTRUCTION, AND THE OROCHI WANTS TO LEAD US TO IT. REMEMBER THE REAL ENEMY IS NOT THE OROCHI WE'VE SEEN THE REAL ENEMY ....AND IT IS US... --------------------------------------------------------- Team Japan: After defeating Orochi, they go their seperate ways... Benimaru becomes a fighting champion, Goro makes a succesful Judo comeback and leads Japan's Judo team, and Kyo... ends up face to face with unfinished business.... (Iori) They battle again. Gunsmith Just finished Orochi with only Kyo in Japan team today. The ending is the same as in the normal Japan ending but at the scene where Kyo is looking into the sky from some vantage point, he turns his back as he hears Iori and both spout some gibberish then fight. Fight scene is Orochi Band team stage, the pillars have beams of light straight up. No Kyo or Iori icon (neither is Benimaru or Goro there too). Iori is a bliss to pummel unlike his Orochi incarnation. After deafeating him, goes to cinema screen where they continue to go at it. Ending cinema is where Kyo faces Iori and shout "Owwrrrraahhh!" where Iori too goes "Owwrrraaahhh!" Could explain the rumours of "Riot" Kyo.(For the hopeful, Kyo still looks normal so don't put your hopes up) Min The Kyo/Shingo ending is very cute. Basically Kyo's lying back against a tree while Shingo somes up to him and asks him if he wants to get some grub. Kyo refuses his offer and eventually asks him if he's really serious about continuing his training. Shingo answers that he is very determined about learning how to throw flames like Kyo. As Shingo starts to run off to go get himself some food, Kyo calls his name. As he turns around, he's slapped in the face by Kyo's pair of gloves. Kyo tells Shingo that he did a good job so he can have his gloves and then walks away, with his jacket slung over his shoulder. Shingo enthusiastically puts on the gloves (which miraculously turn blue to match his outfit). Then, his last line is: "Burn, baby, burn!" Kusanagi8@aol.com Summary of: The New Face Team (NFT) Ending The NFT used the KOF tournament to gather energy to awaken Orochi. To do this, they split themselves into two and that's why there is the NFT AND the Riot NFT. They did this so they could gather more energy in a shorter amount of time. The NFT fights the other NFT so they can get more energy because there is not yet enough. When you defeat the Riot NFT, they bring out Orochi. Orochi then says: "Fight me, my children." and explains that he still needs more power. When you defeat Orochi, he says there still isn't enough. Then you see Chris flying back as blood spews forth from his mouth and Shermie screams out for him while she herself is locked within Yashiro's hands, blood trickling from her own dying lips. Yashiro declares that he will do the last he can do for his lord, and proceeds to kill himself. Thus sacrificing all their lives, the energy finally suffices... The screen goes black... Orochi: "I live..." -------------------------------------------------------------- Obviously, in this ending, the world falls to ruin and Orochi destroys all humanity. - Kusanagi apparently there is another special ending found out for those who don't know there is a special ending with Mai,King and yuri!!! has anyone tried to finish it with them!! all i have seen is that they are on the beach and in swimming costumes and another girl with short blonde hair (not king) is running off with yuri's swimming top and yuri is chasing her and king is in the front with a "how childish look" like the one in the ending in kof95! well i hope that helped anyone! Derek Eung *aka Tenchi* I was suppose to post this news two weeks ago as soon as I finished the KOF97 using the Italy Team (well, it's Terry's team for those who don't know what is Italy Team) but I was quite busy. :) After defeating Orochi, Terry, Andy and Joe seems to be discussing about their fight with Orochi. Joe said after the fight he discovers his true power and call himself master of the universe :). And Terry mentioned about Yamazaki having Orochi blood and still Geese want to have his hand on Orochi Power (That was strange. In KOF' 96 Ending of KOF' 96 using the boss team, Geese said the Orochi power is not as great as he think and I assume he put an end in pursuing the Orochi Power). As for Andy, he is going back to Japan and I think you all know what follows up :). That's not all, after the discussion, Terry was walking along the corridor with his bag (as usual) and guess what? Mary was with her bike and called out loud for Terry!! And Mary gave her phone no to Terry and ask him to call her out. (Wow, a date for Terry, finally) and for return Terry gave his hat to Mary and Mary look so funny with the Fatal Fury hat on :))))). Way to go Terry!!! Lai Out -=KOREA'S STRANGEST TEAM=- After defeating Orochi : [Orochi on the floor looking at player.] (Orochi) Ignorant mortals, why do you bother? Nothing has changed since 1800 years ago...You are heading on the path of self destruction! (Kim) Do not worry about us! (Choi) Ah! [Orochi's body levitates, the screen flashes red and black.] (Chang) Whats that! (Choi) W-where are we? (Orochi) Nowhere... (Kim) You mean!? (Orochi) No not that...I have returned to my sleep, now the dimensions bend. You have a chance, ten, a hundred years, and I will meet you again. I look forward to it. (Kim) Tae-Kwon-Do will beat you again if that happens. [Orochi dies and the team finds themself back at the arena.] In the arena, Kim is talking with a TV reporter. Chang and Choi are behind him. The reporter says that they have brought hope to all the people again. Kim says that they were fighting to help the society, blah, blah, they are the good guys, blah, blah. Meanwhile, Choi is telling Chang that they are the real heroes and that he must remain calm, so that they don't repeat last year's mistake. The scene changes to a plane, and Chang and Choi are well dressed and talkign about their new found freedom. Choi tells Chang that they are very lucky and at last are free from Kim and with Money (because Choi took some money to start a business in Japan and begin a new life). (Chang) Kim is dumber than I thought. (Choi) Yeah, you are right. (Voice from behind) Yeah, I admit that I have been a fool to believe that you two have reformed. [Chang and Choi turn around and find that they aren't alone, but that Kim is there.] (Choi) Kim...What are you doing here? (Kim) I was invited to Japan by the Tae-Kwon-Do club in that country, but... (Kim) but now my life has a new meaning, I will dedicate every day to reform you, even if it takes me my whole life. [A big tear forms on Chang and Choi's heads.] (Chang and Choi) Whaa, Whaa, Help!!! Note: all endings start after Orochi goes back to his sleep... the dialogue before that is always so generic... Garou Team - They talk about all the weird Orochi things that have been going on, and how Yamazaki is an Orochi and what he might be up to since he's still alive. Joe says something about how he's so confident in beating anyone and how he's "The Master of the Universe" (LOL). Andy says he's going back to Japan, and Terry says to give Mai his regards. Andy asks why Terry isn't coming with, and he replies with something about how his life is on the streets. So they go their separate ways... Terry is shown walking along, and then Mary and her motorcycle can be seen in the background. Mary calls out to Terry, and what ends up happening is that Mary gives Terry her phone number, and Terry gives her his cap. Mary has a really goofy expression when she has the cap on. Aww, ain't it sweet? Kyokugenryu - After finishing off the Orochi, they start their trip home. One of them says something about how "Master is supposed to pop up at some point" and sure enough, Takuma can be seen standing on a tree, and he's wearing the mask! Everyone starts saying "Give it up dad/master" and the like, while Takuma says things like "You couldn't detect my presence! You need to train more at the gym!" Soon after he says "And I've got a surprise for you guys..." "A surprise?" He takes off the mask... "It is I, the almighty Takuma Sakazaki!" Ryo, Robert, and Yuri simply can not believe how crazy and deluded he is and call him a "senile old coot". VERY silly ending, much like their '96 one. Psycho Soldier - they talk about the Orochi and how they'll be the only ones who can stop him if he awakes from his sleep. Then they're interrupted by a girl in a wheelchair wearing glasses who introduces herself as Kaoru Watabe. Athena remembers that Kaoru was the fan who wrote to them and ended up encouraging them to enter the KoF '97 tournament. Kaoru thanks them for the letter and the tickets, and Kensou asks "What tickets?" Athena sent Kaoru tickets to the Finals match, and of course Kaoru had fun cheering them on. Kaoru announces that she's been training hard herself ever since she got out of the hospital, and then attempts to walk. However, she falls, and Kensou attempts to dash over to catch her, but ends up with his face in the dirt. Athena winds up catching her instead, and after asking if each other are ok, they start laughing. Kensou then starts saying that he'll "never be noticed. Sniff, boo hoo" England - Mai, Chizuru, King, and Jan are at an amusement park. While the rest have fun, Chizuru is looking at a lake or something, thinking of her big sister and the Orochi. Jan comes up to her and says that he feels safe and secure around here, and then Mai and King pop up saying "Hey, didn't you just say that to us?" and Jan gets really nervous. As they plan on riding the ferris wheel or something, Chizuru starts talking to her sister again in spirit or something. Overall, somewhat lame ending, but the mistranslation team strikes again - Jan calls Mai "Mail"!! God's Caliber Team - Pretty neat. Preceding the Orochi battle, they talk about (anyone who's seen Blue Seed will experience deja vu) the 8 Kushinada girls who were meant to be sacrificed, but one was left alive, and guess who it is? Yup, it's Yuki. Once Orochi is beaten, he says he's going to release all his power, and then Iori freaks out (Riot of the Blood?) and leaps at Orochi and grabs him, and they start flashing and glowing and crap like that. Chizuru tells Kyo that he must help Iori seal the Orochi, and then it shows him firefisting Orochi. Either before he firefists or after (I can't remember), it shows some black-and-white sketch of Yuki, and she DOES say something. Wow, they found a voice actor for one whole line :P Ikari Warriors - Leona thinks back to how she is supposed to be "destined" to be of Orochi blood, and thinks back to when she killed her parents (I think). She takes the boomerang blade/hairband out of her hair and plans on killing herself, but then Ralf stops her. Ralf tells her that before she was alone, but now she has them to rely on. Leona thinks back to when her father said that you make your own destiny, and she thanks him. Ralf then gives her his bandanna, which she puts in her hair. Umm, yeah. '97 Special Team - Following the battle, Mary and Billy notice that Yamazaki has escaped. Later, Mary is shown reading a piece of paper by the light of a match, and she says things about how Yamazaki was last seen in Hong Kong. Mary says that she was "duped by the Geesester, that will never happen again". In Geese Tower, Geese and Billy are talking about the Orochi powers and Yamazaki, and how they lost Mary, which was a bad move. All of a sudden, someone enters, and Geese (or was it Billy?) says "You have some nerve coming in here! What do you want!" Yamazaki's mouth is seen licking his lips, and he says "You know what I came back for. I'm here to collect my pay!" And then Yamazaki leaps into the air attacking them. End. -Matt Hall >--Ralf Jones, Clark Steel, Asamiya Athena (S.N.K. Team, allegedly...self- >parodic?) Picture of Shirtless Clark with blue bandanna, Shirtless Ralf with red bandanna. Both have blackish free flowing hair. Athena in a bikini with a sword at her side. Kensou in the background in a weird costume Ralf: We are the true heroes. Now for the next competition. Clark: Sounds good to me. Athena: Is this ... me? Kensou: Aren't you forgetting something? >--Sakazaki Ryo, Terry Bogard, Kusanagi Kyo (Superhero Team) Picture of all three heroes like the pictures in the introduction to the Orochi Team. Kyo: We are invincible. Terry: Yeah, no one can beat us - something like that. Ryo: That's not what Robert said. Kyo: Why you.... I don't really remember which char said what. Ken -=TEAM EDIT=- After defeating Orochi Leona : [Picture of Team.] (Player) Did you think I'd lose to someone who'd lost himself? (Yashiro) Well done, that was good...for a sideshow (Player) What?? [Flicker of Orochi Team overlaid on Edited Team.] (Player) Who are you? (Yashiro) Does the name Orochi ring a bell? (Player) Did you say Orochi? (Player) What? (Yashiro) Surprised? It's to be expected. (Yashiro) With the Orochi seal broken, we needed energy to awaken the Orochi. (Shermie) You have done this for us! (Player) How? (Chris) A place where great energy is expended, can you guess? [Screen flickers with pictures of the KoF characters.] (Player) You used the King of Fighters for your vile purposes! (Yashiro) We just need a little more, taking care of you should do it. (Player) Oh yeah? After defeating Orochi's Power Team : [Large picture of the Orochi Team defeated scrolls down.] (Yashiro) Well fought, but sadly it was all in vain. (Player) What? (Shermie) It won't be long now. (Player) No way! (Chris) The time is here, all who can't hack it are due for a long sleep. (Player) You mean??? [Chris rises behind his team mates in a trance, eyes closed.] [Close up of Chris' closed eyes.] (Player) Who is this guy? (Chris) O...ro...chi... (Player) You??? [Eyes open and become cat-like.] (Orochi) You cannot defeat me, I know what you're going to do! (Player) What, you can read our minds? (Orochi) What little is there...I know what all humans think...Even if you beat me it doesn't mean peace. (Orochi) Now all returns to nothing. After defeating Orochi : [Orochi on the floor looking at player.] (Orochi) Ignorant mortals, why do you bother? Nothing has changed since 1800 years ago...You are heading on the path of self destruction! (Player) Do not worry about us! (Player) Ah! [Orochi's body levitates, the screen flashes red and black.] (Player) Whats that! (Player) W-where are we? (Orochi) Nowhere... (Player) You mean!? (Orochi) No not that...I have returned to my sleep, now the dimensions bend. You have a chance, ten, a hundred years, and I will meet you again. I look forward to it. (Player) Where are you! [Light surrounds the team.] (Player) What the?...What's this?? [Dawn, over the sea. Screen slides to left. The team stands on a cliff.] (Player) Is it over? (Player) Maybe... [Screen goes black.] The battle end. Thanks to our heroes, the world is safe again. Right, wrong, who can say? Humanity, greed, ambition, humankind is headed toward self destruction, and the Orochi wants to lead us to it. Remember the real enemy is not the Orochi. We've seen the real enemy...and it is us... -=JAPAN'S STRONGEST FIGHTERS=- After defeating Orochi Leona : [Iori jumps in.] (Iori) I've found you at last, Kyo Kusanagi. (Iori) Wah, what? (Iori) Ah, it looks like Orochi is mixed up in this contest. (Iori) Gyaah, my blood boils! [Covers his mouth as blood spills out.] (Iori) Don't mess with me, Orochi. You can't conquer me. (Iori) Gyaaaah. [Rages and raises his arms backwards.] (Announcer) Congratulations victors, now for the next match. [Iori jumps in front of team.] (Kyo) Yagami! (Iori) Hmph. (Kyo) The Orochi blood. Fight it, Yagami. (Iori) Goooaaah. Before fighting Orochi Power Team : [The Orochi Power Team flashes and the screen scrolls from feet up.] (???) That was an interesting performance, for a sideshow. (Kyo) Who is that? (???) Does Orochi ring a bell? (Kyo) Did you say...Orochi? (Kyo) You're Orochi? [Orochi Power Team fully visible.] (Yashiro) Surprised? That is to be expected. (Kyo) What are you scheming? (Yashiro) Us? Scheming? You've done it all for us. (Kyo) What do you mean? (Yashiro) The Orochi awakening. It's Goenitz's success. For any chance of awakening, we needed your energy. (Kyo) Our energy? (Yashiro) You got it. And the place to increase power in such a short time was our job. But it was such a breeze. [A faded picture of strong contestants (Kyo, Ryo, Terry, etc.) scrolls across the screen.] (Shermie) The place where the mighty clash. I think you get the picture. (Benimaru) I got it. They used the King of Fighters for their vile purposes. (Kyo) What the?? (Yashiro) You fought frantically, and thanks to you, the Orochi received enough energy to awake. (Shermie) We just livened things up. (Kyo) Geez, I feel so used. (Yashiro) And it went so easily. But we need a bit more energy, so we're gonna kick your butts. (Kyo) Yeah, well we're happy. (Yashiro) That's the spirit, but you don't have what it takes. Even if you win, a living hell awaits you. After beating Orochi Power Team : [Yashiro is kneeling.] (Yashiro) Well fought. We had a blast. But sadly, it was all in vain. (Kyo) Ah! [Chris in a trance.] (Shermie) It won't be long. (Kyo) No way. You? [Chris' eyes open and a red energy envelopes him and radiates outward.] (Chris) The time is here. Those who can't hack it, are headed for a long sleep. [Japan Team] (Daimon) Kyo, who is this guy? (Kyo) Chris...O..ro..chi [Shermie and Yashiro kneeling in defeat.] (Yashiro) Now we fulfill Orochi's will. (Kyo) Don't jerk us around. There's no way we'd let you. [Orochi fully awakened.] (Orochi) You fleas can't beat me. I know your thoughts. I know what you'll do. Even if you fry me, shock me, toss me, it's all in vain. (All) Wah! (Kyo) You can read our minds?? (Orochi) What little is there? I know what all humans think. Nothing's changed in 1800 years. You can't be saved. Now all returns to 'nothing.' (Kyo) Lighten up pal. It won't be that easy. After beating Orochi : [Orochi lying on his back, smiling.] (Orochi) Ignorant mortals. All these 1800 years, why struggle against me? Continue this way of living, and you'll destroy yourselves? (Kyo) Don't worry about us. (Orochi) Hmph! [Orochi levitates and disappears in a flash.] (???) Ahh. (Kyo) What the? (All) Waah. Phooey. [Team in total darkness.] (Kyo) Whe, where are we? (Orochi) Nowhere. (Kyo) Ah, you mean? (Orochi) Not that. I return to my sleep. For now, the dimensions bend. For ten, a hundred years, you have had a chance. I look forward to it. (Kyo) Stop hiding, show yourself. [Each member is hit by a vertical cylinder of light that covers them entirely.] (???) Hah? What's this? [The darkness disappears and the background is barren waste.] (Daimon) Is it over? (Benimaru) Kyo? (Kyo) Maybe. For now. [The three are walking.] (Benimaru) At last, we beat him. (Daimon) Back to sleep. [Stop walking and face each other.] (Kyo) Yup, and he won't get up soon. For a while, things are safe. (Benimaru) Let's hope so. But it was a quick fight, hah? (Kyo) What was? (Benimaru) Teaming up with you. It's the fourth time! (Kyo) What are you whining about? You sound like an old coot! (Benimaru) Hey, watch your mouth! (Kyo) Up yours. (Daimon) Lighten up, fools. [Trio getting ready to split.] (Benimaru) I'm outta here, it was a blast. (Daimon) Right. (Kyo) Yeah. And so ends Japan's Strongest Team. All went their seperate ways... [Sideview of Benimaru with full Raikoken.] Benimaru Nikaido - No longer a second fiddle, Benimaru travelled the world. Winning contest after contest, he let all know his stuff. [Goro in a judo match.] Goro Daimon - Quitting the fighters league, Goro made his Judo comeback. As leader of Japan's team, he received world renown. [Rugal and Saishu.] Kyo, Rugal Hakkessu Orochi Certainly, a lot in a short time. [Iori.] What? You've come. Let's end it here, Yagami. This is only the beginning. * If you beat Orochi with only Kyo [there may be other conditions], you get a slightly altered ending, with a match against Iori. * (During the scene where Kyo is recalling past KoF tournaments.) [Cherry blossoms begin to swirl in a breeze which blows around Kyo and Iori appears behind him.] (Kyo) I knew you'd come. Let's finish it. [Balls up his fist and it sparks with fire.] After fight with CPU Iori : [Both declare the end has come and power up, summoning their remaining power. They clash, shouting battle cries.] (Kyo) Afraid of fate, Yagami? (Iori) Ha! You're mine! (Kyo) Says you! [Screen goes black.] Thanks to everyone from the KOF-ML and ppl who mailed me.
