this is mainly a rant, just warning ya. i was gonna write this in the thread where the idea first popped up, but ehhh, those kof2002 threads are getting too crowded
here goes
i remember someone writing that the New Face team was just a copy of the Japan team. i have no idea the resemblance. well, the only person from the New Face team that i've given effort into learning how to use is Shermie, so i dunno really. but if anyone does know how they resemble eachother, please post
anyways, that thought sparked something. i was gonna post this a long time ago, but i didn't feel the need to. but i'll post it now
a couple of weeks ago, i noticed that the Yagami team (Iori, Mature, and Vice) seemed like a "copy" of the Japan team. (i'll explain why i think so in a second.) but i don't really care. even if they are modeled off of them, the creators went their own way with them and made them into their own creepy rendition
here's what i see
Kyo / Iori
Kyo and Iori, both rivals. the old old Kyo had a ground-travelling  "fireball" and  an "uppercut." Kyo changes, but keeps the uppercut. now these are Iori's moves
Benimaru / Mature
i know it, you know -- Benimaru is freakin' sexy. Mature arrives, blond hair as well, huge sex appeal here with her Marilyn Monroe pose and nice fking beautiful legs. aside from sex appeal, these two fighters depend more on speed than power
Goro / Vice
Goro, the dark-haired grappler. Vice, the dark-haired grappler. both of them depend on power and are both freakin' devastating
as i said earlier, the creators went their own way. Beni and Goro are male, Mature and Vice are female. the Yagami team all fight with what i think is called "Magatama" style (i dunno if this word is correct or not. i read it in a faq. you know how zany those faqs are), which is that crazy thing those Orochi guys have in common (from what i've seen, same style Goenitz uses) ..... the only way i can describe it is using their hands as "claws." those claw moves are what they all [Iori, Mature, Vice, Goenitz] have in common. it seems that Yamazaki, Leona, the New Face team, etc don't fight that way because they've picked up a style of their own. anyways, other than those claw attacks, they've got several moves similar to one another (Vice's  kicks and that wind move Goenitz has. Iori's claw DM  , Mature's claw DM , and Goenitz's claw DM. that certain Goenitz DM also contains slamming, similar to Vice, etc etc etc)
what i'm thinking is i wonder if this was all planned from the beginning, since kof94, or if this is just how it turned out. i mean, Mature's first appearance was in '94, Iori's and Vice's was '95
that's about it

Because in their Orochi selfs, Shermie has a Raikôken and Chris has Kyô's super. that's it. It's just an auto reference, since if you try to play Orochi Shermie like Benimaru, you won't be very effective, but you know how people love to say "*** is a copy of ***!"...

Errrrr that was me...I was kinda in a ranting mood earlier on about the New Face Team and questioning why they are in KOF2002, where their spots would jolly well be filled with more popular characters or characters that have unique moves such as Boss Team, Eiji/Lin, Leona/Heidern (whoever didn't make the Ikari team cut)....I mean if you can only make 40, every spot should be filled with someone worthy of being in a dream match. In my own opinion, the New Face Team is not that popular nor does it has a unique set of moves...but I guess I was wrong in the eyes of KOF fans.
I am sorry if my own humble opinions doesn't make too much sense - its just a rant anyway. PEACE OUT! ^_^

but that magatama stuff? last i heard, that was kyo's style alone. or it refered to his power to be more specific. there are some commonalities between goenitz and iori(both have a Ya Otome), but iori stole his, while goenitz has the original one.
ohhh that's the name of Kyo's style? damn these faqs
oh yea, off-topic, i noticed that Mature and Rugal have a similar DM (that "grab ya gonna slam your ass into the wall" one). at first, you know, i thought that she's his secretary so she probably got it from him. but after giving it some thought .... Rugal did take Krauser's Kaiser Wave and Geese's Reppuken. i wonder if he took this as well
hah, it's just stupid stuff you think of when you play the game too much O_O
