History Narm / TheKingOfFighters

** Whenever you beat Rugal in ''[='95=]'' with an edited team, he goes out with an indignant tirade. This tirade is made more comical with his scream of "I'll be back... [[BigStupidDoodooHead YOU JERKS!"]], making him sound more like a whiny schoolkid who's just had his lollipop stolen by bullies rather than someone who's purely vindictive and sadistic and [[BloodKnight craving for a good fight]]. It's no wonder the dialogue was re-done in the ''VideoGame/KOFAllStars'' retelling. This is compounded with the subsequent spelling error: "Rugal '''B'''efeated"

---> Orochi's blood has awakened. [[TotallyRadical Gnarly! Let's do it, dudes!]]

--->'''Custom Team''': I'll crush you like a grape and stop the Zero Cannon!"\\
'''[[MemeticBadass Kim]]''': [[NoYou "I'll beat you like a drum]] and stop the Zero Cannon!"
** We cannot forget this one! Clone Zero's Mabu Kousou special move apparently aims to make him appear badass by having him blow the opponent away by the mere undulation of his cloak. Except that he first turns around, and instead looks as if he's...[[{{Fartillery}} farting]]. Cue immature lulz from the players.

---> '''Foxy''':"Boku-chan de wa ano ko ni katenai wa yo/This [[UnderestimatingBadassery little boy]] can't win against this girl"
---> '''K'''':Tsubusuzo kora!/[[PreAssKickingOneLiner I'll crush you!]]
* Ryo and [[strike:Takuma]] Mr. Karate's endings in ''[[VideoGame/SNKVsCapcomSVCChaos SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos]]'' probably aren't meant to be taken seriously, given the tone of the usual Kyokugen storylines and how Takuma is using the name "Mr. Karate" again. But when you factor in how every line out of Yuri's mouth contains the words "oodley doodley cool" (which is likely meant to be a translation of her "-cchi" VerbalTic, but still)...

** We cannot forget this one! One of Clone Zero's attacks apparently aims to make him appear badass by having him blow the opponent away by the mere undulation of his cloak. Except that he first turns around, and instead looks as if he's... [[{{Fartillery}} farting]]. Cue immature lulz from the players.
** Poor old Commander Pringles just cannot catch a break. Nowadays, Clone Zero's villain monologue is retroactively made hilarious when he calls Heidern a "[[MemeticMutation simp]]"[[labelnote:*]]He obviously means "simpleton" but nowadays people will think he's childishly calling Heidern a horny loser."[[/labelnote]]

** After one chapter, the Custom Hero "holds back tears and screams" that even powerful fighters can be defeated if they lack virtue. This is after fighting a boss who went around yelling about how much karate rules.

** The Sega Saturn port has one in its decision to label Rugal exclusively as Omega Rugal whether he’s in that form or not. This is Narmy enough, but the worst of it when they do this when recapping the events of the previous game... a game where he wasn’t Omega Rugal at all.

** While the distressed reaction of his makes up for it, Terry's DisneyDeath in his ending consist of a scene where his teammates are shown fleeing the NESTS building as it falls apart... and then cuts to Terry calmly standing still at the end of the hallway. While it's likely intended to convey that he's to injured to go on, or that he's staying behind to look for survivors, most would [[AlternativeCharacterInterpretation interpret]] this as him [[SuicideAsComedy accepting his fate out of apathy]]. Contrast this to ''2000'', where Terry, where he tells Blue Mary to go on without him after being injured by falling debris.

*** Not even dialogue really but the arranged version of Rugal's ''[='95=]'' theme has some suitably badass church bell chimes... and then the badassery is wiped out by some guy shouting "UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT OF LOVE!"... Who knew Rugal was a fan of ''VideoGame/JetSetRadio''?
