* SequelDifficultySpike: Amazingly, ''[=KOF '95=]''[='s=] arcade mode endgame succeeded in making it even harder than ''[='94=]''. In ''[='94=]'', the final boss' first phase was Rugal without his Special Moves, whose AI remains predictable. In ''[='95=]'', it's replaced by Saisyu, who has [[PerfectPlayAI button-reading AI]] and can counter just about every move on higher difficulty. Saisyu and Omega Rugal are treated as a SequentialBoss together, so you only get a small portion of health restored between the fights. Even expert ''KOF'' players will admit they struggle against him and Rugal without abusing AIBreaker.

* PortingDisaster: The Neo Geo CD and Sega Saturn versions suffer from loadings (typical for home ports of 90s), but they're tame compared to the disaster that is the [=PlayStation=] version. It has a longer loading than the other CD versions, it has loadings in parts that weren't in the other versions, the music resets between rounds, and it has more combo bugs than the already buggy arcade version. It's impressive SNK ported it to a weaker hardware without losing its awesome graphics, but its problems make the tradeoff not worth it.

* EvenBetterSequel: In a relative term, this game is considered better than ''[=KOF '94=]'' because it has a Team Edit function and relatively less bugs (emphasis on "relatively"). It also has a benefit of being the last "classic" ''KOF'', as the series would receive a massive {{Retool}} in the next game.

Being able to do Charge Cancel is an absolute requirement in the metagame, and players with custom controller mapping have a huge advantage because they can do Charge Cancel so easily.
