I played it on arcade too but since this is the main one I jump in, here I go:
KOF Peaked here. Hell, every KOF entry before this one peak in their own way.
The sprites are just so hypnotizing, they move so clean. The music as per usual never misses. It is a very beautiful game.
The gameplay can maybe feel a little bit "unresponsive" at first, specially if you are used to modern fighting games with a lot of buffer and leniency, but get passed that and you have peak neutral, peak combo expression, peak mixes.
Absolutely love this game.

- Very small roster.
- Effects look weird. (Especially fire effects)
- Shh!tty character design of Akari Warriors. (Ralf was my favorite KOF character but they have made him fat looking idiot. They removed his grappling moves and added fire bomb move or something... ωtf?)
- Controls feel stiff. Combos and specials are more complicated than the previous games.
- Ash is the least scary final boss in kof franchise.
- Sub-par music
- poor port
Overall, it's a step down from the old KOF games that I'm used to. A lot of KOF fans claim it to be the best KOF game but to me, it feels like a cheap & careless experiment.
