if ur good at those games, executing KOF moves should be no problem. to me, in my opnion, the complexity comes from the combos. its a lot more, i guess technical? compared to sf or marvel or whatever where the combos are more looose and free. u can really improve ur gamin skills if u can play KOF well enough..

The way this game plays is a lot diffrent from what you think,

each character has there own set off punch kick button combinations

which can give you the player a huge set of fighting options,....

the only thing in this game that I dont like is the annoying tournament annoucer that shows up between battles.....

i got to learn to play the kof series, which kof should i start with eg 96, 97 or 98 etc

If you're interested in story, '97 is probably the best of the three, as it introduces the New Face Team (or New Band Team) story arc. But really, you're better of just reading a story FAQ. You'd have to beat it with every odd combination of characters to get any real depth out of the story anyway.

 

Now, if you're interested in gameplay, I'd say start with '98. I started with that one and it's still one of my favorites. The character lineup is just about perfect for a new player. It has all of the mainstay characters of the series, the newer ones that you'll want to be familiar with, and even brings back a few characters that oldschool fans of the series will be familiar with (USA Team anyone?). This puts you on pretty solid ground for recognizing 95% of the characters in the series so far.

 

It's important to note that the KOF games move in "story arcs," and that "story" characters seem to come and go from the series. The New Face Team, for example, introduced in '97, is gone in '99, replaced by the Hero Team characters that will be prevalent in the next few games. However, every few games a "Dream Match" game is released where lost or deceased characters return. In 2002, for example, the New Face Team returns. So, it's good to be well-versed in even the older characters. Plus, they're fun.

Well the basic fighting system is the same in all of those but there are some subtle and not so subtle changes in between versions. I say play KOF 98 since it has a great roster and it has the Advanced and Extra modes.

Better off reading one indeed.

 

`97 was just the end of the Orochi Arc.

Yeah, you're right, but it's the first New Face part of it.. So we'll call it:

 

Plot Arc 1: Orochi

-Sub Arc 2 (or 3): The New Face Team

Just manage to get my hand on this game.

And it sucks

What a disappointment.

The graphics is nice but the way the game plays

really unlike KOF.

And the speed too fast

Well coming from someone who isnt a fan of the kof series (me ), this game is alright I guess...the thing I hate about it is you gotta press R1/L1 to sidestep...
