* DoingItForTheArt: SNK Playmore's decision to stick to the traditional means of sprite creation (dot art, or "pixel-by-pixel") for ''The King of Fighters XII'' and ''XIII'' over doing cel-based 2D animation (like ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'' does) or fully 3D graphics (as ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIV'' did). Since ''XII'' and ''XIII'' are HD games, they needed sprites that would be reasonably sized at [=720p=], which required a ''lot'' of work (they estimated about a year's worth of work for every character's animation set). However come ''XIV'' they adopted the TwoAndAHalfD approach ''Street Fighter IV'' uses. Still, commendable effort to stick to such a traditional means of sprite creation at a time where it was becoming increasingly infeasible (both due to the advancement in display resolution requiring larger and more detail-heavy sprites and the diminishing number of talented artists who could still ''do'' that kind of work).

Grammar. Write it out of universe. No audience reaction. You don't write shortform years with the apostrophe after the year number, that's not how it works.

* ActorAllusion:
** In ''XI'', Yuri tells [[VideoGame/BurikiOne Gai]] to try pulling off a Hurricane Upper, as a nod to Creator/NobuyukiHiyama voicing both Gai and Joe.
** Benimaru's English VA in ''XII'' and ''XIII'' is Eric Kelso, who also voices [[VideoGame/{{Tekken}} Paul Phoenix]] and [[VideoGame/VirtuaFighter Jacky Bryant]], both of whom, like Benimaru, are blond fighters with AnimeHair pointing upwards.
** Kusanagi from ''2002'' has special battle intros with any weapon wielder (e.g. Whip, Billy, Chang and Choi), calling them out to fight with their fists instead of weapons; basically the same scene in ''Manga/{{AKIRA}}'' with Kaneda (who, like Kusanagi, was voiced by Creator/MitsuoIwata) calling out on Tetsuo to take on him with his own fists instead of using his powers.
--->'''Kusanagi''': "Temee! Sude de shoubu shiagare!" ("You [bastard]! Fight me with your bare hands!")
*** [[ExaggeratedTrope Doubled]] during his intro against [=K9999=] (who was even voiced by Creator/NozomuSasaki, hammering home how much he was a Tetsuo-lite):
--->'''K9999''': "[[SayMyName KUSANAGIIII]]!!!"
--->'''Kusanagi''': "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVCQ3srN-Z4 '-San' wo tsukero yo, dekosuke yarou!!!]]" ("[[TheyCallMeMisterTibbs Put in a MISTER there, you clumsy-punk!]]")
** Athena being voiced by Haruna Ikezawa is one, Ikezawa being born in Athens, Greece no less.
** In XIV, Eiji Miyashita's role as Bandeiras Hattori comes like this as it's not the first time he voiced a ninja, except he was [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003 a mutant turtle]].
** Creator/AmiKoshimizu's casting as Mai Shiranui from ''Sky Stage'' onward is appropriate, as it's not the first time she's voiced [[VideoGame/Persona4 a traditional Japanese lady clad in red and wielding folding fans and fire powers in battle]].

* CreatorsFavorite: SNK flat-out admits they love Rugal. They designed him from the ground up to be the most badass boss character there ever was (and that's not paraphrasing by much), and they made him the final boss in the Dream Match games because he's their favorite. This would be annoying, if Rugal didn't viciously beat his way into players' hearts the world over, cementing himself as an icon to the fanbase as much as he is to the folks at SNK. The SNK fandom likely idolizes him more than Capcom fans have idolized the likes of [[Franchise/StreetFighter Akuma or M. Bison]].
* CreatorsPest: On the other hand, SNK hates K9999 so much for being a carbon copy of [[Manga/{{Akira}} Tetsuo]], enough to be declared as non-existent and replaced by Nameless in ''[[UpdatedRerelease KOF 2002 UM]]'', even though K9999 has fans of his own. Fortunately, Krohnen is a composite of the latter (sans the ''AKIRA'' references) and his successor, Nameless, managing to please both sides. [[spoiler:Somewhat subverted since Krohnen is in fact K9999, just with a different identity to make him more legally distinct.]]

* ModelDissonance: Despite the work being put in the models in the 14th installment, some character animations still look off since they still are performed at certain angles akin to 2D sprites, which makes them "quarter-face" at their opponent instead of looking straight forward. Most of the time in the ''Maximum Impact'' games however, this angle issue is averted for a majority of moves save for very few examples (such as Iori's Saika having the aforementioned angle).
