First, a word on special endings. There is one special ending, obtained by beating the game without continuing...however, the difficulty level must be set on Level-4 or higher. (I've beaten the game without continuing on Level-4 and Level-5, and the special ending is the same.) Basically, there's a screen with character designer drawings of all the characters from the game -- they look like they're done in pencil and ink. It's pretty cool. Does anyone know if there's a special ending for beating the game > Level-5? Endings: -------- Enclosed are the endings for all the character teams, plus what happens when you face Rugal before defeating him (the ending intro, if you will). The dialogue isn't picture perfect, but I vouch for ~90% accuracy. After defeating Saishu, most of the teams receive a generic cinema sequence: Saishu, badly beaten and bleeding, his gi torn a little bit, is lying against a wall, and says he's defeated. Rugal then taunts the team members and proceeds to power himself up, stripping away his suit and glowing white in the process. This sequence is significantly different in two cases, and will be included instead. Here we go!! MIXED (EDITED) TEAM: ------------------- [Note about dialogue: since there's only so much memory in a NeoGeo system, the actual characters are not identified when a team member is speaking. I'll refer to a generic 'team member' as speaking.] [Gas rises among team members] Team member: What's going on? Team member: Gas! Team member: Aaah! My body...! [Screen fades] Team member: Where are we? [Rugal, seated, appears in distance.] Rugal: Rise and shine, sleepy head. Team member: Rugal! Rugal: Correct. But now, it's time for you to join me. Team member: What? Rugal: I'm going to turn you all into cyborg warriors. You'll be terrors: destroy, assassinate, massacre. Enough talk. You'll see what I mean. [Enter Saishu] Saishu: Saishu Kusanagi here. Let's have a little fun, eh? Team member: I don't believe it. Rugal: That's right! The Kusanagi clan leader and Kyo's father. I gave life to this corpse! Surrender or die like lemmings! [Saishu beaten] Saishu: My fate was to lose. I'm impressed. Rugal: Hmph. You did well for a product. But now, you're going to give me your power! [Reaches down to draw power from cyborg Saishu] Rugal: Wooooooo.... Rugal: Even with my new power, I lost. What? My body...??? [A huge light from above envelops Rugal] Rugal: No...to meet such a fate! But I'll be back...you jerks! [A huge grinning image of a skull appears over Rugal, laughs demonically. The light disappears, and Rugal with it.] [Screen blackens. This ending sucks.] The following message is printed on the screen: "Rugal befeated [sic], King of Fighters 95 ends. Each of the team members took his share of the prize money and lived happily. At least until 1996, when... (to be continued)" TEAM CHINA: ----------- [Gas rises among team members] Athena: Kyah! What? Chin: Oh no! Gas! Kensou: Uh oh! A trap! [Screen fades] Athena: Uh, where are we? [Rugal, seated, appears in distance] Rugal: Rise and shine, sleepy heads. Chin: Just as I thought, Rugal! Rugal: Of course! But now you must die. For ruining my evil plans, death is my present to you. Kensou: Why, you fiend! Rugal: Fiend? Take it easy, Dudley! And say "hi" to my henchman! [Enter Saishu] Saishu: Heh, heh. Nice to meet you. Shall we mix it up? Athena: Kusanagi? Not Kyo's... Chin: Wait, he's possessed with evil! Rugal: Hah, hah! Feel my power and eat the fists of legend! [Generic Saishu loss] Rugal: Even with my new power, I lost. What...? My body...??? [A huge light from above envelops Rugal] Rugal: No...to meet such a fate! But I'll be back...you jerks! Athena: Don't count on it, slick! Rugal: Humanity is destined for destruction. I'll be back! [A huge grinning image of a skull appears over Rugal, laughs demonically. The light disappears, and Rugal with it.] [All team members appear on a rocky cliff overlooking a precipice, presumably where the destroyed complex was.] [Kensou looks over cliff] Kensou: What was that? Chin: Consumed by his own evil. But what evil drove him to such an end...? Athena: Are we really doomed, master? Chin: We must fight our own evil. But doomed? Nah! Kensou: Master. Things really aren't as bad as they seem, right, Athena? Athena: Yeah...right...heh. Chin: Yes, you may be correct. Athena: Come on, let's go home. [Cut to Kensou, seated, smiling. Athena sits opposite, grinning, with Chin looking solemn in the background.] Kensou: Better still, let's eat! I'm starving! Athena: Hee, hee. Kensou, you'll never change, ya big lug! Kensou: What does *that* mean? Kensou, Athena, Chin: Wah, hah, hah! [Pan upward, fade to black] TEAM ITALY: ----------- [Gas rises among team members] Joe: What the heck is this? Andy: It's gas. Terry! Terry: Ugh. A trap. It's... [Screen fades] Andy: Where is this? [Rugal, seated, appears in distance.] Rugal: Long time, no see, my boys. Sleep well? Terry: Rugal! You're alive! Rugal: Very much so. But you're soon to see the end. For ruining my plans, I take your pathetic lives! Joe: Don't flatter yourself. I read you like a book. Rugal: Predictable to the last. But first, meet my new partner! [Enter Saishu] Saishu: Saishu Kusanagi is the name. Shall we flail away? Terry: Kusanagi? Kyo's...? Andy: Rugal, you've brainwashed him! Rugal: In a word. Now meet the legend and his fists! [Generic Saishu loss] Rugal: Even with my new power, I lost. What? My body...??? [A huge light from above envelops Rugal] Rugal: No...to meet such a fate! But I'll be back...you jerks! [A huge grinning image of a skull appears over Rugal, laughs demonically. The light disappears, and Rugal with it.] [All team members appear on a rocky cliff overlooking a precipice, presumably where the destroyed complex was.] Joe: What the heck is going on?!? Andy: He couldn't control his power. But whose evil shadow...? Joe: It sure gave me a bad case of goose bumps. Terry: Worse than Geese and Krauser, I fear we'll be facing it, too. [Cut to Andy, looking at Terry, very concerned. Terry is looking down and smiling. Joe is grinning in the background, hands behind his head.] Andy: Terry...? Terry: Someday, that is. Not now. Maybe it has nothing to do with us. Joe: Yeah. We're no heroes! [Cut to shot of the three clasping hands] Andy: Until that time, we'll fight together! Terry, Joe: Yeah. The Kings of Fighters! [Cut to office scene, a flunky bowing apologetically. Geese Howard is seated in a desk chair holding a cigar, facing away from the screen.] Geese: I knew Billy would fail... But next time I'll be in charge. Later, Terry. Wah, hah, hah! [Fade to black] TEAM KOREA: ----------- [Gas rises among team members] Choi: What's going on? Chang: It's gas, stupid! Kim: A trap! [Screen fades] Kim: Uh ooooooh. [Rugal, seated, appears in distance] Rugal: Wakey, wakey, sleepy heads. Choi: Rugal! Chang, go ahead! Chang: Rugal, let us join you! Kim: Rugal! I thought it was you! Rugal: Of course. But now you'll die a slow, horrible death! It's the price you pay for thwarting evil! Choi: Hey, wait...! Kim: We can't lose to a baddie like you, garlic breath! Rugal: Chill, dude. First, meet my flunky. [Enter Saishu] Saishu: Saishu Kusanagi is the name. Shall we flail away? Chang: If I could just have a word with you! Kim: Kusanagi? Kyo's...! Brainwashed by Rugal! Rugal: What do you think? Face the mythic fists of fury! [Cut to close up of Choi and Chang, sweat marks running down their heads, fists raised in frustration] Choi, Chang: Hold on here! [Generic Saishu loss] Rugal: Even with my new power, I lost. What? My body...??? [A huge light from above envelops Rugal] Rugal: No...to meet such a fate! But I'll be back...you jerks! [A huge grinning image of a skull appears over Rugal, laughs demonically. The light disappears, and Rugal with it.] [All team members appear on a rocky cliff overlooking a precipice, presumably where the destroyed complex was.] [Kim looks skyward, away from the other two] Kim: What was that? Choi: Chang. Chang: What? Choi: I'm getting sick of hanging out with Kim. You too? Chang: Yeah, I know what you mean. He's boring! Choi: Yeah, you're right! [Kim turns to face the others, sweat starts running down the heads of Choi and Chang.] Kim: Hey, you two! Choi, Chang: Yeah? Kim: Tomorrow we start training for the next king of fighters, okay? Chang, Choi: Heh...uh...right. Chang: What, again! I'm speechless! Choi: I knew it! [Chang and Choi start running] Chang, Choi: Run away!!!! Kim: Hey, get back here! Choi: This is just the same as before! [Fade to black] TEAM MEXICO: ------------ [Gas rises among team members] Robert: What is going on? Ryo: It's gas, samurai-head! Takuma: Nuts! To be trapped like... [Screen fades] Ryo: What in heavens? [Rugal, seated, appears in distane.] Rugal: Welcome back, my old friends. Sleep well? Takuma: Rugal! You're alive! Rugal: Perceptive as always. Of course! But now you must die! A just dessert for hindering my evil plans! Robert: Face Kyokugen Karate's power, garlic breath! Rugal: Well, you're in for a full course! Here's the appetizer! [Enter Saishu] Saishu: We meet again, Takuma! Takuma: Saishu Kusanagi? How? Saishu: Resurrection! Be warned! Takuma: Rugal, you fiend. Snap out of it Kusanagi! Rugal: Hah, hah! A touching reunion. Get on with the battle! [Generic Saishu loss] Rugal: Even with my new power, I lost. What? My body...??? [A huge light from above envelops Rugal] Rugal: No...to meet such a fate! But I'll be back...you jerks! [A huge grinning image of a skull appears over Rugal, laughs demonically. The light disappears, and Rugal with it.] [All team members appear on a rocky cliff overlooking a precipice, presumably where the destroyed complex was.] [Takuma looks upward, away from the other two.] Takuma: What was that shade? Ryo: By the way, where's...? Takuma: Saishu? He couldn't have died from that. Take care, Saishu. Wherever you are. [Cut to a very surprised Ryo and Robert] Takuma: By the way, it's time I left you two. Ryo, Robert: What? Takuma: I am just too old for this. You two take over for me at the gym. Robert: M-master! Takuma: Of course, I'll be in charge of all decisions and train you two. Ryo: Huh? Robert: But master, that's no different than before! Takuma: Hmm? Oh well, that doesn't matter. Robert: I've got a bad feeling about this...hey, let's team up with Yuri. Ryo: Good idea! [Close up of Takuma, clearly enraged, crying out the 'Hyah!!' from the second victory pose.] Takuma: WHAT are you gabbing about?!? It's time for training! [Cut to Ryo and Robert -- Robert with a hand pressed to the bridge of his nose, Ryo with eyes closed and a sweat mark on his temple.] Ryo: Ahh, I thought so! [Fade to black] TEAM BRAZIL: ------------ [Gas rises among team members] Ralf: What's that?!? Clark: Oh no, gas! Heidern: Can't...can't stay...awake... [Screen fades] [Rugal, seated, appears in distance.] Rugal: Hah, hah, hah. I knew you were faking it! [Ralf suddenly stands up from prone position] Ralf: Saw right through us, huh! [Heidern and Clark also get up] Heidern: I knew it was you! Rugal! Just what are you planning?!? Rugal: Always in the way, huh? This time, you won't get out alive! Ralf: Don't be so sure of yourself, garlic breath! Rugal: You seem quite confident. But you haven't a chance! [Enter Saishu] Saishu: Heh, heh. Saishu Kusanagi here. Shall we mix it up? Heidern: Why you...! Clark: You know him? Heidern: He's the clan leader of the Kusanagis, Saishu Kusanagi! Rugal. You've brainwashed him! Rugal: Don't be silly. There was nothing to wash anyway! [Generic Saishu loss] Rugal: Even with my new power, I lost. What? My body...??? [A huge light from above envelops Rugal] Rugal: No...to meet such a fate! But I'll be back...you jerks! [A huge grinning image of a skull appears over Rugal, laughs demonically. The light disappears, and Rugal with it.] [All team members appear on a rocky cliff overlooking a precipice, presumably where the destroyed complex was.] [Ralf is kneeling, looking over the cliff. Heidern is in foreground.] Ralf: What just happened here? Heidern: Consumed by his own evil power. [Clark appears in foreground] Clark: But just what was that power? Heidern: I don't know, but I fear that Rugal was just a simple puppet. [Ralf looks at Heidern, smiling, a hand raised in resignation.] Ralf: You mean we'll have to fight again? Heidern: Someday. [The sound of helicopters. Three helicopters fly over above.] Heidern: Our mission is complete. Let's return home. Ralf, Clark: Roger! [Cut to close-up of Heidern against a white background. He is looking down, eyes closed, very solemn.] Heidern: Sandra. Clara. Rest in peace. The battle is over. [Fade to black] TEAM JAPAN: ----------- [Gas rises among team members] Daimon: What in blazes? Benimaru: Oh no, gas! Kyo: It's a trap! [Screen fades] Daimon: Uh....ooooooh... [Rugal, seated, appears in distane.] Rugal: Wake up, my Asian friends. Benimaru: R...Rugal! I thought it was you! Rugal: Very perceptive. But now you will die! A just dessert for thwarting my evil plans! Benimaru: Well, you sure fooled us good. Kyo: The Kusanagi blood boils with rage! You're meat, pal! Rugal: Tough talk for a fly. And now, something for the Kusanagis! I know you can't pass this up! [Enter Saishu] Saishu: Long time, no see, Kyo! Kyo: I don't believe...papa-san? How? Saishu: Resurrected by Rugal! I now know the ultimate! Join me, and feel the universe's full power! Benimaru: Don't believe him, Kyo, he's been brainwashed! Kyo: Rugal, you monster! Rugal: A touching reunion. Saishu, kill them! [Cut to Saishu, defeated, lying in Kyo's arms.] Kyo: Papa-san! Saishu: Heh, Kyo. It looks like my power wasn't so great after all. Kill him, Kyo. Avenge me...! [Saishu grows limp. Cut to close-up of Kyo, fist clenched.] Kyo: Rugal, you slime! [Cut to Rugal, looking down] Rugal: Heh. The defeated dog barks loudest! Taste my fury! [Rugal raises hand, powers himself up] Rugal: Even with my new power, I lost. What? My body...??? [A huge light from above envelops Rugal] Rugal: No...to meet such a fate! But I'll be back...you jerks! [A huge grinning image of a skull appears over Rugal, laughs demonically. The light disappears, and Rugal with it.] [All team members appear on a rocky cliff overlooking a precipice, presumably where the destroyed complex was.] [Benimaru looks stunned, sweat running down his temple. Kyo is in background, looking puzzled.] Benimaru: What was that shade!? Kyo: I don't believe it. Benimaru: What? Kyo: It's just...no, nothing. Benimaru: Huh? Kyo, your father! Daimon: Yeah, where did he go? [Cut to Kyo, Daimon, and Benimaru smiling, looking skyward] Kyo: I knew he wasn't dead. He'll find his way home. Benimaru: Yeah, I guess you're right. Kyo: Come on, let's go home. Benimaru, Daimon: Yeah! [Camera pans across an empty mountainscape and stops on Saishu, standing on a cliff with his back to the screen. Close-up of Saishu, who has arms folded.] Saishu: Kyo, you can't escape the Kusanagi fate. We face a greater battle, soon to begin. [Cut to backside of Saishu, who raises his arms skyward] Saishu: Strengthen yourself, Kyo. Good luck. [Fade to black] TEAM USA (RIVAL TEAM): ---------------------- [Gas rises among team members] Eiji: What is this? Billy: It's bleedin' gas! Yagami: Gasp! [Screen fades] Billy: Hey, where are we? [Rugal, seated, appears in distance.] Rugal: Rise and shine, sleepy head. Billy: Rugal! I knew it was you! Rugal: Of course. How about working for me? Billy: Sorry, man. I only have one boss! Eiji: And I only work for myself! Yagami: I hate being an employee, garlic breath! Billy: Anyway, the answer's up yours! Rugal: Stubborn to the last. Very well then. I've no use for you. [Enter Saishu] Saishu: Saishu Kusanagi here. Shall we mix it up? Yagami: Saishu Kusanagi? What brings you here? Saishu: How you've grown from a snot-nosed kid! Yagami: Don't push yourself, fossil face! Rugal: Enough. Dispose of them. [Generic Saishu loss] Rugal: Even with my new power, I lost. What? My body...??? [A huge light from above envelops Rugal] Rugal: No...to meet such a fate! Yagami: Only those of the bloodline can control such power. You hadn't a chance. Rugal: Is that so? Dare you seize this power? I'll be back! [A huge grinning image of a skull appears over Rugal, laughs demonically. The light disappears, and Rugal with it.] [All team members appear on a rocky cliff overlooking a precipice, presumably where the destroyed complex was.] [Billy and Eiji stare in amazement at the precipice] Billy: What was that?!? [Yagami, grinning demonically, enters foreground.] Yagami: What a fool. Such power can only be mine! Well, shall we wrap this up? Eiji: What? [Cut to Eiji lying on the ground, bleeding, his gi torn in a few places. Pan across to Billy, cut in several places and breathing heavily, leaning against his staff] Billy: You're...you're Geese!! [Pan upwards to Yagami, walking away, fire in his fist, eyes glaring ahead with rage.] Yagami: Just wait, Kyo. You're next in line for extermination. You and all Kusanagis!! Ah, hah, hah, hah!! [The laugh of Yagami echoes as the screen fades] TEAM ENGLAND: ------------- [Gas rises among team members] Mai: Hey, it's beauty mist! Yuri: It's gas, bimbo! King: A trap? Again? [Screen fades] Yuri: Where is this? [Rugal, seated, appears in distance.] Rugal: Pretty, even in the morning. King: Rugal! You're alive! Rugal: Perceptive as always. Of course! But now you must die! A just dessert for hindering my evil plans! Mai: Don't ya think that's too much. I mean, death? Rugal: Charming, to the last. I wish I could do it myself. [Enter Saishu] Saishu: Saishu Kusanagi's the name. Let's engage in full contact. Yuri: Hey, do you know Kyo? Mai: Wow, he looks brainwashed -- or just stupid! King: Rugal, you beast! Rugal: "Beast"? I like the ring to that. Your [sic] mine, Kingy. Kiss kiss. [Generic Saishu loss] Rugal: Even with my new power, I lost. What? My body...??? [A huge light from above envelops Rugal] Rugal: No...to meet such a fate! But I'll be back...you jerks! [A huge grinning image of a skull appears over Rugal, laughs demonically. The light disappears, and Rugal with it.] [All team members appear on a rocky cliff overlooking a precipice, presumably where the destroyed complex was.] [Mai and Yuri stare dumbfounded] Mai: What just went on here? [Pan to King in foreground, looking down.] King: Using such power just ate him up. Whose evil shadow was that? [Cut to all three. Yuri is smiling and pointing at other two. Mai has arms stretched upward in victory and is grinning. King is looking at others with a fist clenched, smiling.] Yuri: Well, everybody's all right, and we won. We can live with that, right? Mai: Yeah, you're right! Let's party hearty! King: All right. Back to the club. And drinks on the house! Mai, Yuri: Yeah! [Cut to table at the club, with bottles and cups strewn all over its surface. Mai and Yuri are seated at table, completely blitzed. Yuri has arm draped playfully over Mai, who is clutching at her fan.] Mai: Hey, Andy! Mai, Yuri: Kyaaaahh! [King appears in foreground, holding a hand to her head, eyes closed.] King: Next time, new partners... [Fade to black] That's it! Until KOF '96, when I'll post the endings as usual. Raven
