  • This game is the first (and only) game of the series with three announcers during the rounds.
    • It is also the first game in the series to use the expression "perfect game" in rounds. In The King of Fighters XV, this expression is replaced by "perfect fight".
    • This is the first game of the series with every act of the fight was narrated. This resource continues in KOF XV.
    • Starting from KOF XIII, this is among SNK's games where the character audio allthroughout is in Japanese, even for non-Japanese characters, especially noticeable with the likes of Antonov and Clemence.
  • This game and The King of Fighters '96 are the only of the series which the sub-bosses returns in a regular team in future KOF games, and the only which they don't have evil intentions for the tournament.
  • This game, The King of Fighters XIII and The King of Fighters XV are the only games in the series with selectable character costume colors.
    • However, the thirteenth entry of the series is the only which the player can custom some colors for the characters (in five spaces).
  • This is the second game of the series to use DLC content (in this case, DLC characters, musics and outfits). This is also the first entry under the current SNK custody with that type of content.
  • This game is the first of the series which the victory quotes of each character are fully spoken by the characters themselves, a feature also seen in all SNK games released after 2016.
  • In the main menu, the figures that appear under each option are consonant with their functions. Two examples: the "Story" option shows the rivals Kyo and Iori fighting, due to their importance in the central story of the series, and the "Online" option shows the Team K', a team modified through a technology developed by a criminal cartel.

  • About the initial roster, a leak shows the characters' features in a list, between veterans and newcomers. A update shows the fighters' artwork and the teams' name before the 8th Character Trailer of the game. The leak proved itself true on April 25, 2016, during the unveiling of the game's entire cast and the entire content of the game.
    • Another leak (false) says that the game would have 16 DLC characters, one for each team. Of that list, only Whip, Yamazaki, Vanessa, Heidern and Blue Mary appears in the game as DLC. Therefore, the list would be as follows:
    • Another informations about DLC characters, leaked by the user X-Kira, shows the Steam's Dataming mentioned some characters already especulated (confirmed or not), beside Oswald (confirmed), Hinako Shijo, Jubei Yamada (never confirmed), a character named Sissel (Hein's PC codename) and another four characters (also never confirmed).
    • Of all DLC characters, the existence of Rock Howard as a DLC entry was acidentally discoverd in a photo leaked by a SNK's member staff, with the game's character positioned in the character select screen. Rock becomes being confirmed as part of Season 1's DLC Roster shortly after the leak.
  • An easter egg can be found on the main menu screen. By performing a Down Back InputHCB InputDown Forward Input (1632143), a MAX Mode sound will trigger, promting Antonov to praise the player for finding this secret.
