Trivia
- The reason why Mai Shiranui is absent from King of Fighters XI (thus on the sideline) is that she is apparently mad at Terry Bogard for not telling her the whereabouts of his brother Andy. He and Duck King convinced Kim Kaphwan to join the Fatal Fury team in her place.
- The Princesses of Punch (or Women Fighters) team franchise, which has been around in the previous King of Fighters games, has been dissolved in King of Fighters XI.
The Endings
A little note that Magaki & Shion don't have endings and the other 4 Mid-Bosses Gai Tendo, Sho Hayate, Jyazu & Silber only have pictures when you complete the game with them.
- Ash Team Ending
Shen Woo is shown fighting against Oswald, Shen Woo appears to be in disadvantage and wounded, OSwald appears to be unscratched. the scene then rewind to 5 minutes later, showing Ash saying he is going off as always. Oswald then ask him about the shipment he request for drugs or some sort (thats why he participated with them). and the drugs seems to be from SHanhai, and blah blah blah the etremely long dialogue is shown way too fast, then basically Oswald and Shen Woo started fighting.
- Rival Team Ending
basically same as described earlier, its pretty koo how Ash shows them his new purple flame.....and the last scene shows Elizabeth in a weird angle giving a view showing off her HUGE and bigger than normal boops..........all the guys around me that was watching ending with me was going WHOA, NICE...............(geee SNK i think u guys did it on purpose)
- Fatal Fury Team Ending
a really boring ending..... Terry and gangs (his teamates, Andy, Mai, and even Choi and Chang) are in the bar (forgot the name, but its the bar Terry always go in Fatal Fury), drinking and celebrating the victory. Kim is obviously drunk and kept on talking and lecturing about his justice the whole time.............till the bar closes.............and thats it................
- Art of Fighting Team Ending
the scene shows Ryo and King both dressed up nicely in a fancy restraunt (King looks absolutely gorgeous.....doesnt look like King at all). They appears to be waiting for Yuri, who told them to dress up nicely and have dinner together. As time go by Yuri is not appearing, King and Ryo begins to feel a bit uneasy and shy looking at each other. Suddenly two waiters come up and ask them what they want to order, or if they have any problems. Then King and Ryo quickly recognize its Robert and Yuri in disguise (very very bad disguise XD), and ask them whats this all about (obviously they are trying to hook Ryo and King up). Robert and Yuri , with sweats all over their face, refuse to admit they are disguising as waiters and insist that Ryo and King had made a mistake. As King and Ryo kept on asking what da hell is going, the store manager suddenly appear and ask whats going on (Takuma in his Mr. Karate mask LOL), he then said he is sorry for the inconvinience and offer a Hotel room key to them, claiming its the best view there is in the hotel. Ryo is left speechless dunno what to say and King simply cannot take all these silly stuff anymroe and exploded and went crazy on all of them. Rather a cute and funny ending.
- Ikari Warriors Team Ending
As the Team are with Heiden, Two Unknown girl seem to kill him or take him somewhere.
- Psycho Soldiers Team Ending
Kensu keeps on talking and thanking everyone for the victory in KoF tournament, pictures of the people who he is thanking appears on the sky (with his psycho power), Momoko and Athena both stand watching and giving funny comments. Kensu thanked CHin, and he said he is dead =__= which Athena and momoko corrected him that Chin is still alive. Then Kensu thanked Bao....then even Panda.............which was funny, and Momoko asked why panda is there, Athena replies the panda used to be their striker (LOL KOF 2000). Momoko also refers CHin as Grandpa 0___o (so thats who she is???). Last Kensu mentions he came to learn to control and use a little bit of the dragon power in him in this tournament, but he doesnt want to let the full power out, because he saw and learned from what happened to the people who had great power in NEST. As the conversations draws to an end, the scene changed to Ron's view and his gangs, Ron made a comment on how surprised he is to see Kensu to able to control the dragon power in a year, and he said Kensu better start working hard, because next time Kensu has to use that power against him (Ron). Interesting....
