I prefer its predecessor a lot more but I still had a lot of fun. Really thought the striker system was neat

The PS1 Version is better than I excepted. Of course you have loading times after each round but on the plus side you get a ton of concept art (including cool unused sprites) and you can recolor all of the characters.

Also you have the option to assing four of your special moves to your controller buttons. This probably breaks some of the balance since charge characters don't need to charge anymore with this feature but it might help beginners get into the game :)

I love kyo in this game, Tears might one of my favorite tracks of all time. Gameplay got super stiff and clunky. Good ideas on the story but weak ideas, compare to the orochi saga.

The new protagonist is too edgy and the striker system is very boring to use, it doesn't fit into KOF's quicker combat

I used to hate the striker system but as I got older, I've grown to appreciate it. As for the plot, its a little under par from the orochi saga. This is definitely a very good saga though.

Good game, but this is the start of the downfall of the franchise.
Amazing sprite work in characters and scenarios. The characters' presentation and artwork are amazing, and the color edit is a fun touch in the series. K', the new protagonist, has some charm and charisma, but the rest of his team makes no sense. The new characters have good designs, but they don't blend well with their teams. And about the gameplay: why did they make the controls so stiff? Back in the day, I was shocked at how hard it was to make a simple special move compared to KoF 97 and 98. Good game, but it's just not better than 98...
