=============
Introduction:
=============

This FAQ is made for you, who don't know how to get complete Demo Select 
on PSX version of KOF'97. The most confusing teams are the teams with the
funny names, that sometimes make you confused which characters should used 
in the teams (e.g: Neo Geo Freaks teams). Now I still can't understand the
ending dialogues, since I can't read Japanese at all. I just try to describe
the ending pictures after the standard endings. But I hope a kind guy could
help me translate them.




===========================
What's new in this version:
===========================

1. Revised unknown ending
2. Demo condition list
3. Demo show




===============
Demo condition:
===============

1. Demo-1: after you win the tournament, right before you fight Orochi Iori /
           Orochi Leona.
2. Demo-2: after you defeated Orochi Iori/Orochi Leona, right before you
           fight Orochi New Team.
3. Demo-3: after you defeated Orochi New Team, right before you fight Orochi.
4. Demo-4: after you defeated Orochi.
5. Demo-5: Special demo, appears after you defeated extra characters (e.g
           Iori in Hero teams).
           



==========
Demo show
==========

1. Demo-1: The announcer congrats you and announce you as 1997 KOF tournament
           winners. Then Iori/Leona (see Note below) comes up. After a little
           talk, suddenly s/he goes mad, being possessed by Orochi.
2. Demo-2: you have defeated Orochi Iori/Leona, suddenly a familiar faces
           appear. They are the New Face team, but they've been possesed
           by Orochi now.
3. Demo-3: the Orochi New Team have been defeated, but the fight hasn't over
           yet. After they say something, Orochi Chris begins to fly up, 
           hovering in the air. His eyes begin to change.
4. Demo-4: You have defeated Orochi. He lies in ground and talks some words.
           His eyes begins to change, then he suddenly blows up. The team
           then teleported to the real world.

  Kyo, Benimaru, Goro
---------------------

I don't know about you guys, but when I played with the team I got all the
Hero team demos (A, B, & C), so I guess they're exactly same. But some guys
told me that they're different in conditions, depends on your fight with Iori
in the end. Here's what I got from them:

* A version: comes up if you defeat Iori with Kyo
* B version: comes up if you defeat Iori with Benimaru or Goro
* C version: comes up if you lose from Iori

After defeat Orochi:
The ending shows how the fighters after they defeat Orochi. Goro and Beni 
think how they have been a strong fighter. While Kyo standing on a cliff,
with pictures of the enemies he has defeated in the sky. Then suddenly Iori
appear behind him.
After the fight with Iori:
Kyo and Iori talk each other in their fighting stances. Then they're gather-
ing power and prepare for attack. When they almost hit, the screen flash out.
