Moves like Eiki Shuho (Vanguard Blast, in English) and Daikoku-cho (Big and Ugly Ultimatum) give her twice the appeal for local fans. As you all know Li's move names in the Japanese version are all derived from place names in Osaka, so the designers enjoyed the work of coming up with names following this rule when new moves were added. Typical! With the actual execution of this, however, the designers struggled to bring the character into the KOF world without ruining her image created in the Fatal Fury series. Needless to say, the designers who came to this decision were all men. Giving the reasons that a cute female character and a Chinese boxer was desired, they unanimously selected Li Xiang Fei. About Li Xiangfei: When development began for KOF '99, the designers grappled over which character from Real Bout 2 to choose, Rick Stroud or Li Xiang Fei. With the appearance of Pao, the average age of the Psycho Soldier Team dropped dramatically.or was supposed to, but things didn't actually change that much (it dropped from 42 to 34 years old). Some of these included: 'a younger idol from Athena's agency' 'a love rival pitted against Kensou', 'a mighty male character with a scary appearance but a heart of gold and a love of nature', 'an old woman who looks after Chin Gentsai', and many others. About Pao: Due to circumstances regarding the game structure, a new character had to be added to the Psycho Soldier Team, and various ideas for this additional character were formulated. The designers hoped that she would be accepted as an independent, whip-brandishing character rather than just another member of the Ikari Team. The supervising designer was sweating bullets over this when the design was checked (he feared he'd be accused of slacking off), but in the end the concept was approved without incident. The number of dots used on Whip's whip were reduced to express a feeling of speed and power - a daring method of expression. Since Leona exposes comparatively more skin, Whip sports less revealing but body-hugging fashions that leave a little more to the imagination.

About Whip: The plan was to introduce this character in KOF '96, but since Leona was already a part of the Ikari Team she began her series of appearances in KOF '99.

This comic is hard to get your hands on in other parts of the world, but check it out if you have the opportunity. Makishima, but in a serialized KOF comic that came out in Hong Kong, he, for some reason, became a 'beautiful woman doctor'. Strange how things happen, isn't it? Maxima was originally modified by the male scientist Dr. The designers were initially supposed to design a character that used body slams, but the finished character became a fist-fighter. About Maxima: With the growing influence of teenagers, it seems the concept for Maxima evolved from a desire to introduce a sober and reliable middle-age character (sad state of affairs though when a twenty-something male is referred to as 'middle-aged'). 'Garou - Mark of the Wolves' was being developed concomitantly with KOF '99, so the staff learned that MOW's main character (Rock) looked like K' (causing the supervising designer to lose a few pounds from panic). The reason for his hair being bushier than need be may be a reflection of the conditions around him. About K' (K Dash): K' initially sported a slicked back hairstyle, but this was nixed by the powers that be and that's how the 'hairdo' for the hero of the NESTS Chronicles got changed. The Fatal Fury Team music theme is a remixed version of Terry's theme in 'Fatal Fury Wild Ambition'. 8-way, Weak punch, Weak kick, Strong punch, Strong kick TRIVIA Released on Jin Japan.
