Notes : Their stage is King's bar. On the left side, Duck King (Fatal Fury)
and Heavy D (KoF'94) are playing cards. The waitresses cheer if the
female team wins and turn around and hold their heads in sorrow if
they lose. When King does her entrance pose and tosses her cup, you
can hear it as it hits the floor in any stage. Todo from AoF is also
in the background behind Duck and Heavy. If you look closely at the
walls, especially around the center pillar (near the combined NeoGeo
logo), you can see faces. I can only make out Nakoruru's face on
the center pillar. I can see other faces, but can't tell whose they
are. On Mai's umbrella (in her win pose), the Kanji translates to
"Nippon ichi!" Ripper is in the back bar on the phone (most likely
reporting in to Geese).

Notes : They take the old USA team's stage. It's a chemical factory with the
New York cityscape in the back. Check out the gaseous foreground.
An interesting note is that if the computer decides to do a team edit
as well, this is the only team that will not be edited. One of the
buildings in the cityscape on the left is Geese's tower (the one with
the most lights on). This is the setting for the opening scene in
Fatal Fury 3.
