Fun Facts
Reduced Roster
According to some leftover data on the home version discs, The King of Fighters XII originally would have had Mai, Yuri, King, Vice, Takuma, Hwa Jai, "Billy", a "Dark" Ash, and a KoF '98 version of Iori, as well as a boss of unknown identity. KoF XII was well-known to have been rushed through development, so these characters all obviously got the axe due to budget and time constraints. Further supporting this is the fact that all of these characters made it info KoF XIII eventually (counting the home version).
Stealth Cameo
Jin Fu-Ha appears in what passes for "Story" scenes in the Time Trial/Arcade Mode of The King of Fighters XII. Apparently a consultant for the Satella News Network, he's just chillin' at the newsdesk with his shirt off.
