The gameplay of '''The King of Fighters '95''' was left largely intact from [[The King of Fighters '94]]. The one major change [[SNK]] was to allow players to select any combination of characters to fight with, as opposed to the concrete teams that players were confined to in the previous game. In addition, almost all the teams from the first game returned, but were no longer affiliated with specific nationalities. The [[The King of Fighters '94/Moves#Team USA|''Sports Team'']] from the previous game was replaced by a [[The King of Fighters '95/Moves#Rivals Team|''Rivals Team'']], comprised of [[The King of Fighters Orochi Collection/Iori|Iori Yagami]] (a new character designed to be [[The King of Fighters Orochi Collection/Kyo|Kyo Kusanagi's]] rival) along with [[The King of Fighters Orochi Collection/Billy|Billy Kane]] ([[The King of Fighters Orochi Collection/Terry|Terry Bogard's]] rival) and [[The King of Fighters Orochi Collection/Eiji|Eiji Kisaragi]] ([[The King of Fighters Orochi Collection/Ryo|Ryo Sakazaki's]] rival).

The King of Fighters '95 marked the beginning of the Orochi Saga, which would continue in [[The King of Fighters '96|KOF '96]] and [[The King of Fighters '97|KOF '97]]. However, the only elements from the Orochi saga known in this game are the introduction of a key character, Iori Yagami, and Rugal's use of the Orochi power.

King of Fighters '95 revealed that boss character [[The King of Fighters Orochi Collection/Rugal|Rugal Bernstein]], thought to have perished in an explosion in the previous game, had in fact survived and sent out invitations to the teams from the previous game signed simply 'R'. King of Fighters '95 is stated to be the canonical death of Rugal Bernstein, with his subsequent appearances being in non-cannon games.

The gameplay of The King of Fighters '95 was left largely intact from The King of Fighters '94. The one major change SNK was to allow players to select any combination of characters to fight with, as opposed to the concrete teams that players were confined to in the previous game. In addition, almost all the teams from the first game returned, but were no longer affiliated with specific nationalities. The Sports Team from the previous game was replaced by a Rivals Team, comprised of Iori Yagami (a new character designed to be Kyo Kusanagi's rival) along with Billy Kane (Terry Bogard's rival) and Eiji Kisaragi (Ryo Sakazaki's rival).

The King of Fighters '95 marked the beginning of the Orochi Saga, which would continue in KOF '96 and KOF '97. However, the only elements from the Orochi saga known in this game are the introduction of a key character, Iori Yagami, and Rugal's use of the Orochi power.

King of Fighters '95 revealed that boss character Rugal Bernstein, thought to have perished in an explosion in the previous game, had in fact survived and sent out invitations to the teams from the previous game signed simply 'R'. King of Fighters '95 is stated to be the canonical death of Rugal Bernstein, with his subsequent appearances being in non-cannon games.
