Trivia[]

  • Prior to The King of Fighters '98 Ultimate Match, and in the PlayStation port of The King of Fighters '97, Tadasu can be canceled from normals to create nasty infinite combos, due to its very brief animation at that time, acting as an unintended attack reset that quickly restores player control for other moves to be done.
