I voted It's average. It doesn't really offer anything special in my opinion. They threw all the fun out of this once beloved series after 2000.

And you still haven't learned Clark yet, have you...

I say it's a good series. Unbalanced, yes, but still good. 98 is the best IMO, with 2000 as second(it's comin to DC y'all...I can FEEL it!).

Actually, I'm not a big KOF fan myself. I prefer the Garou Densetsu series over it. I think making KOF an annual thing was a big mistake. Because of that, every year gets worse. Plus, I don't like how they slim everyone down and twist characters for otakus......

I say cool, but not the best. I have fun with all post-96 KOFs, but the best is KOF98. That's a masterpiece.

AT LEAST!!

Somebody realizes!! It's Naru, of course, in her student "personality". I like her with this outfit. It's just that she's different, but as cute as ever.

A.B.S.O.L.U.T.E.L.Y right! Plus the fact that they dont switch to other system or board to make their games limit them quite a bit (cant they do 2d games on the neo geo 64?)

KOF98 is my favorite game of any kind, ever, so I guess that makes me a KOF fan.

Rolling was my favorite option in the KOF series,even though it got to be pretty vulnerable.

And as for Geese,I'd rather have Wolfgang Krauser back!

I think making KOF an annual thing was a big mistake.

I shall second that; there is a lot of the "thrill" of the waiting the game is lost; also I believe that they work in a very limitated time to force the game out every year; instead of changing a lot of things & doing the game with the heart.

My favs KoF is '96; wich I played a lot & KoF '2001; that tries, but not achieves that much...

Isn't the Hyper Neo still dead?!

Even though it wasn't the 1st Neo-Geo series I got into (That honor goes to either World Heros or Samurai Shodown.), it was the 1st team fighting game I got into, and still one of the best. Tag team fighting? Hate it! Lost interest in Capcom's vs Marvel titles after X-Men vs SF did nothing but annoy the hell out of me; and Capcom built on every aspect I hated to boot (Not to greatest way to win me over into the series Capcom.) in the sequels. Tekken Tag didn't inprove my like of Tag fighting either. KOF is still pretty cool. I like the original characters a bit more than the old favorites (Most of the Fatal Fury characters I like didn't show up until FF 3 and up.) and most of the AOF characters I liked have already appeared in KOF (Excluding Jin Fuha.). Personally, I hope KOF keeps it's distinct look. MOTW's may be better animation wise; but I'll take gameplay over looks anyday (MOTW is nowhere near as fun as KOF or even RBS.).

"My rant on KoF." , posted Wed 3 Apr 16:17

Yeah, I still like KoF, but that's starting to twindle down. I was a big fan in the beginning.

1994 - Rugal was introduced and we are introduced a new format - team matches (which is some task not many other games can do very well). This marked the beginning of Kyo's legacy. What a start!

Game overall - Nice start overall.

1995 - We first see Iori. What is the deal behind the guy? He was a nice introduction. With him around, the story started to get better.

Game overall - Things have gotten better.

1996 - Rugal has finally bit the dust and a new evil approaches. I guess this all started with the introduction of Iori. Iori had the power of Orochi in him. Orochi then became the theme of the series.

Game overall - Now, things really start to get interesting.

1997 - Orochi has arrived. He knows something between Kyo and Iori. So, those two, along with Chizuru placed him under a long sleep. Orochi's presence was no more.

Game overall - Great game and a great way to finish the Orochi saga.

1998 - A dream match that rocked. No story.

Game overall - Good, but could have been better.

1999 - We see a new organization: NESTS. They want to build an ultimate army and how? Kidnap Kyo. So, we have this ho hum story. K' has been introduced.

Game overall - Eh. Not as great as '98, but still okay.

2000 - There's more info behind NESTS. They're planning some type of cannon. Again, not really inovational.

Game overall - Still okay, but not breath taking.

2001 - Once again, more info behind NESTS. This will lead to a conclusion, later on (I bet).

Game overall - Average. Many great elements are gone now and such, but it's still KoF. It's one KoF game I don't go "Happy, happy, joy, joy!" for.

you might see htis a strange thing but I still think the special effects in KOF94 was the best effects in the KOF history, I still love terry burning knucle , and kyo flames were awsome, and Joe tiger Kick, and ryo , every Effect was and still so good and still one of the best 2D I ever saw!
