| Other Facts and Information |
| Like the rest of the Kyokugenryu fighters, Robert has fallen victim to parody by the Street Fighter joke character, Dan Hibiki. When Dan originally appeared in Street Fighter Alpha, his facial design was almost identical to Robert's, in later installments, Dan only retains Robert's hair style. |
| Supposedly, as of KoF2k1 the Garcia family has fallen on hard times, and because he is practically funding the failing Kyokugenryu school, Robert's money is running out. As of KoF2k3, Robert has fully taken over the family business.(*) |
| Ryo and Robert bear a great deal of similarity with the heroes from the Hong Kong Comic, ???. This includes their association with the Tiger and Dragon. At current, Ryo is represented by the Dragon and Robert is represented by the Tiger, but originally it was the other way around. Despite the switch, their attack names remain unchanged from AoF1, with Ryo's attacks being named after the Tiger, and Robert's named after the Dragon.(*) |
