[edit] Quotes

I think maybe we have too many quotes. Perhaps we should move them to Wikiquote. --Maru (talk) Contribs 17:33, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

I second that thesis. Anons and User:The Ogry have been going berserk on character articles concerning quotes, and its been a literal invasion. What I'm asking, is why..? So far, not a soul has been able to give me concensus for inserting all this (worthless) quotes into articles, and furthurmore, why they use subsections for each game. I was just thinking of deleting them and leaving in a few, but your idea seems somewhat more constructive. -Zero^Talk 20:05 8,December 2005 (UTC)

I've moved the complete text of quotes there. --Maru (talk) Contribs 23:09, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] The Relationship With Andy

I think the credit to Andy was just a little -too- vague. All canonical games clearly show at the very least he has viewed himself as a "lover" to her countless times, but just as much he prefers not to show it and does have those "sister" views (usually from the older games) I also think that many subliminal hints in MOTW (among other KOFS) suggest that the absent of these two fighters from many games have been anything but a coincedence, though there is no substantial proof it is purely romanctical reasons. As far as the relationship they had in the anime not being considered "canonical" this may be true, albit I think, much like SF2, many of the ideas from the anime/anime movies do indeed "Cross Over" into the game. Kim Kaphwan's sons are an -excellent- example of this, much less the predominant relationship of Andy and Mai.

[edit] History section

I've gone through and somewhat de-POVed and encylopedia-ified the History section, but it needs citing by game, as right now the history seems seamless. It could take place in one game, two games, an anime, a manga, or anything really. The pics attribute their source, no less should the back story. --Maru (talk) Contribs 23:09, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] .GIF

I think it is important to put the .gif in. After all, it was her true appearance. Those pics are just concept art. We need to show the actual thing. King Wario 06:18, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

• I asssure you, the Neo Wave art is not concept art. It is clearly in official status, and matches with the template in conformity like the rest of the KOF articles. However, I see no problem with the gif itself, I just believe it does not go in the template, and it is not consistant between articles. If we were in pocession of a gif for say, every KOF article, then it would be fine (Like the Street Fighter articles), but we don't, and the gif doesn't add any content to the article that the pictures already acomplish. -Zero^Talk 06:25, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Little Sister?

I've played every King of Fighters, Fatal Fury and all their spin-offs and I don't ever remember Andy thinking of Mai as a little sister. That statement kind of weirds me out because I clearly remember them kissing in one of the games, the movie and in official art. So I was wondering if me or somebody else could change it? -—The preceding unsigned comment was added by PowaaMan (talk • contribs) .

No they haven't. Andy, in fact, tries to avoid Mai whenever he can. What you're referring to is the manga/and or anime which aren't canonical and therefore aren't valid.-Zero^Talk 04:36, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

Okay, but there are some clear references to "going on dates" in Fatal Fury 3, Realbout Fatal Fury and Realbout Special, some of them initiated by Andy. This is not including the numerous pics in endings which show them together hugging, eating together, or going on vacation. Also a funny thing to note is that in a number of King of Fighters (99, 2001 and 2002) Mai and Andy have an intro with Mai showing him a baby which cries out Papa or daddy or something like that. Hmmmm... do you think Andy would freak out so bad if he hadn't done "something" to Mai which would allow her to have a baby? Ha ha ha. Anyways, do you agree now? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Powaaman (talk • contribs).

No fair! I wish I could confirm your thesis, but I haven't played those KOF's in awhile... Looks as if I'll have to take your word on it. -Zero^Talk 15:26, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

Yes I do agree he might love her but his obsession with surpassing terry gets in the way to the point where there relationship would have no future. Andy give it up you shall never be better than terry and marry mai already.--Vipa Human 17:51, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Hate to burst your bubble, but Real Bout Fatal Fury Special's endings are cannonical, nor are any of the events in The King Of Fighters (To the original Fatal Fury storyline). Also, that intro of Mai and Andy in KOF2k1 with the baby is just an illusion Mai uses to trick Andy. 66.66.99.93 04:48, 18 March 2007 (UTC) That Man
