Toyohisa Tanabe (Capcom vs. SNK pixel art supervisor)says there was an alternate build of King of Fighters 98, featuring Ryu and Ken

"Two years before Capcom vs. SNK came out, we made King of Fighters '98, and we actually had a little bit of time after we finished development. So the team ended up making a build of the game with Ryu and Ken in it. This isn't something that a lot of people know — I think only the developers know about it, and I've never told anyone myself — but yeah, just for fun, before Capcom vs. SNK was a thing, I was playing as Ryu and Ken in King of Fighters '98."
This is very interesting, yet another unknown Neo Geo prototype. It confirms something Billy/Supergun once said about there possibly being an early version of SNK vs Capcom. It would be amazing if this was found, the ROM has got to be somewhere!
