''KOF '96'' expands the "Mood" system for how your teammates will act when you call them for assistance. If said teammate isn't on friendly term with your current fighter, there's a 50-50 chance they'll help you or not, or if they really don't like it, they won't help you at all. Examples inlcude Terry refusing to help Geese, or Iori not helping anyone except his canonical team. This system would be in all future Orochi Saga games, but removed in ''KOF '99'', as the teammates were removed from the side in it.
