As it happens, I got a great response from my KoF'95 and KoF'96 FAQs.  At
first, I wasn't planning on doing a KoF'97 FAQ.  Lately I've been too busy to
even have time to play with my NeoGeo system and really haven't been keeping
up in the world of SNK.  But I've been flooded with e-mail asking when my
KoF'97 FAQ was coming out, so...here it is.  Hope it still meets everyone's
expectations.  Enjoy!

* WHAT HAPPENS DURING THE INTERMISSIONS & ENDINGS? *

That's for you to find out for yourself.  The endings took up too much space
on this FAQ and I decided to remove them.  However, there are some special
endings for certain combinations :

-=KYO & SHINGO=-
(Kyo & Shingo w/ anyone but Iori and Benimaru)

-=GOD'S CALIBRE TEAM=-
(Kyo, Iori, Kagura)

-=FIRE GENKI TEAM=-
(Kyo, Mai, Billy) (Only in Japanese arcade version)

-='94 TEAM ENGLAND=-
(Yuri, King, Mai)

-=IKARI WARRIORS=-
(Clark and Ralf with possibly anyone except Leona)
No special ending, however before the fight with Orochi Leona, they say
different things.

-=HERO TEAM A=-
Kyo, Terry, Ryo

-=HERO TEAM B=-
Benimaru, Andy, Robert

-=HERO TEAM C=-
Goro, Joe, Yuri

Also : SNK Superstar

============================================================================
* ARE THERE ANY BUGS? *

Someone reported a fight using Sie against Orochi Chris.  Chris used his qcf
+ C attack and while Sie was stunned, Chris rushed in and did a C uppercut
from medium range.  "Task Over" came on the center of the screen and hung
there.

============================================================================
* WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED FOR THIS FAQ TO BE COMPLETE? *

-> Missing or inaccurate info (especially on moves/names)
-> Detailed Boss info (is there a code for Orochi?)
-> Anything else needed to complete this FAQ
