* SeinfeldIsUnfunny: At the time of its release, ''[=KOF '94=]'' was a monumental undertaking for not just SNK, but gaming in general. It was among the first fighting games to feature team based gameplay, and arguably the TropeCodifier for the MascotFighter genre given that it crossed over many of SNK's popular franchises in one game. These days, it's more likely to find players that know the cast from ''KOF'' itself given that many of their home franchises have been dormant for decades. Even from a gameplay perspective, it can be difficult going back to an entry without the signature movement mechanics the series has been known for, and where you can only select canonical teams rather than building your own.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: One of the most blatant examples in all of gaming, "Jungle Bouncer" is the theme for the Brazil team, and is almost note for note an instrumental version of Music/FaithNoMore's "Surprise! You're Dead!"

* GameplayDerailment: ''[=KOF '94=]'' suffers from the same issue with ''[[VideoGame/StreetFighterII Street Fighter II: The World Warrior]]'', where Normal Attack's pushback is small and a simple succession of Normals can stun an opponent. This stun combo is a major factor in the metagame, and character/team tiers are mostly decided by if they can perform a stun combo, or how easy their stun combo is.

** Inputting one version of a special move with two distinct versions, then immediately inputting either the other version or quarter-circle forward + the punch button corresponding to the other version, will "morph" the special move. The viability of this varies depending on the character and what special moves they have, but for quite a few moves, there's no reason not to, since at least one morphed version of the move is much better than either version on their own.

* PolishedPort: ''Re-Bout'' features the same gameplay, but allows players to mix and match characters to make their own teams like the rest of the series, and even features Saisyu Kusanagi as an extra playable character.
