Team Outlaw

The Team Outlaw (チームアウトロー, Chīmu Autorō), also called Outlaw Team in early English translations, and also called  '97 Special Team ('97特別チーム, '97 Tokubetsu Chīmu), is a reoccurring Special team in The King of Fighters series.

Description
As the name implies, this team is formed by some outlaw characters, all from Fatal Fury series. The team was formed for the first time during a contest promoted by SNK and game magazines Famitsu, Neo Geo Freak and Gamest. The intention was to know which characters from the Fatal Fury series could make a special team, which led to the choice in the first formation of the team: Ryuji Yamazaki, Blue Mary and Billy Kane. The last already participate in the KOF series, during the '95 tournament.

The team also makes an appearance in The King of Fighters 2003, with Gato, a character from Garou: Mark of the Wolves, replacing Mary, and appears in some Dream Match games.
