King Of Fighters 1994-2003

[Rogue]

Personally I think that 1998 is the best i've played, but then again i havn't played 2001 upwards :P, 2000 was good, but not satisfying enough, does it get better.

Opinions anyone?

[MarioNES]

Ive played 94' - 2000, and I think 2000 is my favorite... but i dont really remember playing 98. i dont thik i could get it to work....

/me runs to try it out

[UW4NKA]

Hmm, I like '98. But I think '01 or '02 are better. 2003 is far too easy. I can complete it on one credit pretty easily, and that's disappointing. :P
Otherwise a good game though.

2003. Easily. I find it hard to go back to the previous games after using the tag-team function.

2000 is quite good, but it's just they took out too many of the cool little things. They changed Kyo's ->->2 Punches to a crappy little fire punch. I think his crazy fire explosion style move was a lot more appropriate for how kick ass he is... And another thing, do you really need to have a striker? Sure it's useful to have Shingo grab the opponent so that you can use a special move, but it's not really that useful otherwise, the striker moves are normally weak, and leave you open to any attack for about 2 seconds, which in the end is actually a lot of time you have lost...

Too bad I can't get NeoRage to work, bloody XP, they say it's compatible but NO... I have to be satisfied with 2000 and below... Actually I can't run anything except 2000, 1998 and 1996...Bugger...

I got 2003 working on mine, and to say the truth I dont really like it much. Its way too easy to beat. People who play it online are pathetic/ XD

Im torn between 97 and 98 for my fav =)
I gotta agree with Shiva tho, after playing the Tag games, its really hard to go back.

i liked kof 95.. but thats just cuz thats one that i actually "owned" and played the hell out of back in the day.

[Keyser Söze]

94 and 97

94 cos its just special wit its flunet comboing, you could get lost in the fun and the amount of energy you could take off is horredous but funny

plus the usa team was my fav with the little black guy with the afro in the background of usa stage jumping about posing cracked me up.

but funniest thing apart from mai's breasts bouncing even worse from fatal fury 2
was heidern's up + down + p move when he says 'kill'(like a circle arc with his hands)

i remember doing this against my friend on his one solt board in the day

if you timed it correctly, if you did this move when they was practically next door to you, it was the end cos it took of most of your energy.

and 97 cos of the introduction of the new teams which were more influencal to the storyline than the others plus the storyline was more prominent for the first time.
the evil versions of the characters(what was the proper name for the other versions i forgot?)

and the boss orochi, how he comes about, how he looks, how he cheats with his outrageous super moves(the one with the light from the edge of screen you can't dodge only block at best and the instant death with the heart)

those where my favorites but i'll say 98 was probably best with the silly other version of rugal(when is the 'other' version of rugal not silly)

shingo kick!!!

[Rogue]

Just a small question. Did anyone find the final boss for 2000 really...really...crap...
I think that was a dissapointment and a half...why isn't it a crazy mutant man, or a cybernetic perfect warrior like it should be...Although playing as that guy kicked so much ass :D

[Dee Dark]

I ever thought 1997 was the best TKOF... until I saw the '2003...

besides, the hidden teams feature is way too cool...
