===== ABOUT OROCHI SHERMIE =====

Pretty much the same deal as in KOF2002. As always, Orochi Shermie has distinct and unique colour palettes, as well as a unique neutral stance. In gameplay she is easier to use than regular Shermie. In KOF2002 her sprites were slightly redrawn, she now appears "thicker" than her 97 and 98 counterparts.

===== ABOUT OROCHI YASHIRO =====

Probably the same as in KOF2002. As always, Orochi Yashiro has distinct and unique colour palettes, as well as a unique neutral stance. Has lots of grapple and throwing moves.

===== OTHER INFORMATION / TRIVIA =====

---- Both appear as hidden characters in all versions of the game.

---- They do not appear as opponents in the regular single-player modes of the game.

---- They have different images for their portraits and icons.

---- The game's character artwork was produced by Tomokazu Nakano, who had produced artwork for the Power Instinct games.

===== ABOUT KOF NEOWAVE =====

The game is basically a drastically altered version of KOF2002 with many different and extra features, one of the most significant being the inclusion of an all-new AOF2 version of Geese Howard as the game's end boss. Neowave is a Dream Match, meaning that it is non-canonical and not counted in the new numeral progression of the series, which KOFXI started. The game was developed specifically to test the Atomiswave hardware.
