Team Women Fighters

The Team Women Fighters (チーム, Josei kakutō-ka chīmu lit. "Female Fighter Team"), originally called the Female Team (チーム, Josei Chīmu) in earlier English translations, and called the Queen's Team (クイーンズチーム, Kuīnzu chīmu) in The King of Fighters: Destiny, is a reoccurring Team in The King of Fighters series.

Description
As the name implies, the Team Women Fighters consists of any female characters, either from the own series and/or other SNK franchises (particularly from the shared universe games such as Fatal Fury and Art of Fighting). In the first games of the series, the group consisted of King, Mai Shiranui and Yuri Sakazaki.

This is also the team with the most formation changes, starting with The King of Fighters '96. Originally, most of its members are locals, residing and/or had multiple crisis involvements at South Town, including those who are associate to the town's local fighters (such as May Lee Jinju being associated to Kim Kaphwan), until The King of Fighters '97, it introduces a member who has nothing with the town nor had past associate its locals completely, such as Chizuru Kagura, and later Hinako Shijou. The King of Fighters XIII is the only mainline game after the Orochi Saga with its classic formation. In most of the formations, King or Mai shares the leadership, regardless of both being on the same team or not.
