I was wondering why, suddenly, all Sakazaki family went on Mexico ? In Art of Fighting 1 & 2, they lived in South Town ; then in KOF '94, they form a Mexico Team, and AOF 3 take place sowewhere in this country.
Does someone has an answer ? There is a Garcia foundation near, it is said in AOF3, but it's not a reason to me.
Thaaaaanks ! ^_^
Correct me if I am wrong:
Fatal Fury and Art of Fighting storylines happen in SouthTown, with AOF happening something like 20 years before Fatal Fury. Young Geese was a major player in the crimes of SouthTown, before he was beaten and escaped, returning years later when the new heroes were the Fatal Fury team and the AOF team just disappeared.
KOF had diverged the story timelines into one, so you have Ryo and Terry together in their prime 20s. For 94, it was supposed to be a country-based tournament, so AOF supposedly chose to represent Mexico, by defeating all the challengers there to clinch the representation.
As for AOF3, I am not familiar with it.

It's more like 10 to 12 years before.

On AoF 3 Robert meets with a childhood friend; and he sees that she is uneasy, when he ask what is it she ask him to walk her along to Mexico. Karman Cole, a aof3 character talks to Ryo 'Where is Robert' and Yuri manages to get Ryo on the move to look for him fearing troubles.
KoF storyline teorizes that the Sakazaki opened a dojo in Mexico and since it's somewhat successful they are usually in that country handling things.

When SNK first made the teams for KOF '94, they wanted to provide some identity for them, to show that they really belonged together. The simplest way to do this, of course, was to assign a nationality to each. In the case of the Kyokugenryu trio, they simply opened up a new Pao Pao Cafe branch in the nearest country and put them there. No muss, no fuss. Later, with the team identities firmly established and the introduction of Team Edit, nationalism became unnecessary, and the team became simply the Art of Fighting team.
Likewise, SNK decided clothes-ripping, a holdover from Art of Fighting, was getting way too much attention, and it was totally unfair since it happned to only two characters; it was axed for good in '96. Also, "Different Geese" in the AOF2 special ending was waaaaay too problematic, and the whole side story was quietly ixnayed and never referred to in any future game. (Rest assured that if he's in the Neowave KOF at all, his supposed AOF2 history will not follow him.) And they also decided, like virtually every other SS3 player on the planet, that Zankuro's sometimes not losing if time runs out even if he has less energy was an insane ridiculous stupid braindead idea which no one with more than five brain cells liked, and it was never never ever used again by any company, ever.
See, that's how progress works. Do whatever when you're starting out, but then keep what you need and toss out the rest. And KOF and video games in general are better for it.
