Interesting tidbit posted on the KoF mailing list...

Let's get it on! The second homage is to The Rock, Dwayne Johnson, of WWE. Guess who is the people's champion this year? Well, she's my champion and her name is Angel (an-hell), "a nineteen year old girl who just want a little fun." Did I mention her chest size? Ah well, she should mention it in that single's ad quote of hers.

All right, so how is Angel equal The Rock? First off, the first indication that she has any relation to WWE, the fake wrestling sport program, was her "Kure Kure" taunt in 2001 that imitates a female wrestler of the show. And now she is really a fan girl of The Rock; either that or the programmer of the game is. Now let's get down to all her resemblances to The Rock. First off, I am pretty sure that her tattoo on her back is the tattoo on The Rock's upper arm. Second, her intro taunt is "Can you smell what the Angel is cooking?" in Japanese in which she signals with her fingers waving back and forth at her opponent, just like The Rock when he wants to fight someone. Third, her anti-ground SDM counter is The Rock's multiple punches in which she looks back (to the audience in the case of The Rock) before punching her opponent with the last hit. Fourth, her anti-air SDM counter is The Rock's Bottom where she slams her opponent to the ground. Fifth, the follow-up to this SDM is her HSDM where she does The Rock's People's Elbow while the opponent is on the ground!!! Yes, Angel rocks because she's The Rock. ^_^ <hr></blockquote>

Lol

Just like a cultural capsule, I had the chance to talk with the KOF2001 designer Styleos and he told me that he took an American Girl Wrestler to make Angel.

Somebody knows who is that girl?
:p

I pray it wasn't Terri Runnels or the Cat since they both did this pose at one time or another and isn't Angel from Mexico?

My guess is Terri Runnells. They both do the "horny little she-devil" taunt.

Then again, there seem to be a good amount of wrestling moves in KOF--like Mary doing a backdrop or an Ace Crusher (like a Stunner, but she falls in a lying-down position rather than a sitting one), Shermie doing various suplexes, and Clark doing pretty much every move in his moveset (including the Shining Wizard).

Then again, there's also Lin spewing the green mist. :p

Styleos was the Angel´s creator (on pixels, movements and Illustration)so that´s the relation...
