Unused Audio

Unused Iori Super

This voice was used in The King of Fighters 98 for his Ura 108 Shiki: Ya Sakazuki super move. While Iori did not use that move from 99 until 03, Orochi Iori (who appeared in the console ports of the original 2002) utilized that move. Maybe Iori would have used that super here in lieu of Orochi Iori?

Chip KOs

As both Goenitz and Geese Howard were ported from SNK vs. Capcom: Chaos, which had separate voices for both regular and chip KOs, these two voices end up unused, due to Unlimited Match sharing the same voices for both regular and chip KOs.

Neo Geo Soundtrack

The entirety of the soundtrack from the original Neo Geo version of the game is present under the Data\BGM\48000Hz folder in .ogg files, this is likely a remnant of the Neo Geo mode from the PlayStation 2 version of the game.

Unused Characters

Orochi Iori

The character data of Orochi Iori from SVC Chaos and the PlayStation 2 version of the original 2002 remains in the game's files and can be used with the help of external programs. However, all of his animations are messed up and some of his moves can crash the game. He also has alternate color palettes, despite not being playable by normal means.
