When
development began for KOF
'99, the designers grappled
over which character from
Real Bout 2 to choose, Rick
Stroud or Li Xiang Fei. Giving
the reasons that a cute female
character and a Chinese boxer
was desired, they unanimously
selected Li Xiang Fei. Needless
to say, the designers who
came to this decision were
all men. Typical!
With the actual execution
of this, however, the designers
struggled to bring the character
into the KOF world without
ruining her image created
in the Fatal Fury series.
As you all know Li's move
names in the Japanese version
are all derived from place
names in Osaka, so the designers
enjoyed the work of coming
up with names following this
rule when new moves were
added. Moves like Eiki Shuho
(Vanguard Blast, in English)
and Daikoku-cho (Big and
Ugly Ultimatum) give her
twice the appeal for local
fans...don't they?
