What this FAQ is about:
-----------------------
Welcome to the first-ever COMPLETE speech FAQ. In this series, my goal
is to give YOU, (the reader), the opportunity to look back at many of
your favorite fighting game series and understand the persona behind
your beloved characters. Listed in this particular FAQ are ALL of the
characters and their signature dialogue that made them famous in the
world-renown "King of Fighters" saga. This FAQ begins with the
legendary warriors of Garou in 1994 and ends with the re-incarnated
evil of Rugal/Luger Bernstein of 2002. I hope that you enjoy reading
this presentation and have a better overall understanding of why the
King of Fighters Series is so deep with imagination, FIRE, and emotion!
Also included in this FAQ are the move name translations followed by my
own translation; as well as individual character winning quotes from
the Japanese version of KOF 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, and
2000; it should prove to be an appetizing factor to your total
enjoyment of one of the greatest fighting game series of all time!
--------------------------
How this FAQ works:
--------------------------
The Character listings go in the order of the series that the character
first appeared in. First, there is listed the Japanese pronunciation,
which is followed by the English translation. (Note: I am still in the
process of accurately describing the words and phrases, so some of the
translations may be off or inaccurate.)

**(It is the agreed opinion of The True Warrior (the author of this
FAQ) and Saiki (a very helpful contributor) that Yuri was most likely
supposed to be two different personas (i.e. characters) in KOF 2001.
The proof being that she has more un-used quotes than anyone else in
the game; and a few of her quotes are direct translations of Satsui no
Hadou ni Mezameta Ryu's quotes from the series "Capcom vs. SNK:
Millenium Fight 2000-01", meaning that her alternate persona was to be
an "Evil" Yuri of sorts; therefore affirming that she was to be a
secret/hidden character in KOF 2001.)
