On the Saturn yesterday; I really enjoyed it. I used the AOF team up until Orochi because I kept getting my ass handed to me, so then I pussied out and picked up Kyo, Iori, and some other guy. I really liked this KOF, it could possibly be my favorite 90s KOF.

However, since all the dialogue is in Japanese, I can only guess what the story is. Is there a web site that has the dialogue laid out for at least the ending scenes? Also, what happened to Orochi? He looked like he was powering up at the end, but all of a sudden he just left.

Thanks.

basically Orochi can't be destroyed, only sealed...so upon his defeat he sleeps until the next chance for him to be released

for the true ending, use the God Calibre Team: Kyo, Iori, Chizuru

In the Neo Geo section, grouped in with the endings.
I too found it odd that Orochi just seems to give up and dissapear. In KOF R-1, it was explained in the Orochi Team ending that he wasn't resurrected because Kusinaga reincarnate (Yuki) was still alive.

But, that doesn't hold water to the ending of the Orochi team where they kill themselves to resurrect Orochi and you get an ending where Orochi says he's awakened.

The only "true" ending it seems is the edit savior team of Kyo, Iori, and Chizuru.

Look at Neo Geo Endings. Here's '97, but they have most of the games there, and you can see all the team endings.

edit: Geez, everybody replied while I was finding the link. What a bunch of helpful bastards we are.

Somehow, I don't think the search function would have been much help for this one. Especially to an off-site link.

Cool, thanks guys. I'll definitely try out that Kyo, Iori and Chizuru team next time.

One thing that I didn't like about 97 was how suck ass the American stage is...sure, it's a given that the stage will suck simply because it's a Yank's stage, but the amusement park and the carnival music was just awful. It's my least liked stage in all the KOF's I've played thus far.
