What is everyones opinion as to what the best version of King of Fighters is? I just got 2000 from NCS, but never played the other versions. Oh wait, I have 98 on CD. Thanks.

I've played all of the KOF's except for 97 and 2000. I think the best is 99, I dont know why, but it just seems better to me.

Why did they remove Mai's move where she spins around with the fans? Or is there another way to execute it? Other than her striker attack.

Also can you play as the alternate strikers or the end boss (forgot his name)?

KOF 2000 is my pick for the best in the series, althought there is still a special place in my heart for 95!

KOF 96. First KOF that has the feel of a modern fighting game. It has an awesome sound and scenario. Then you throw in a solid game play and (I actually preferred 97/98 type of gameplay, but you can't have everything) you have a winner.

My fav is KOF '96. 98 and 99 are a close second and third. I have yet to play 2000, I will have to pick it up on MVS as soon as the price dips.

KOF 98. It also has the most characters of any KOF game. What happened to building everyyear?

I think that since 99 and 2k have LESS charcters than 98 snk got lazy...

the best I have ever tested(I haven't test kof2000) is the 99 edtion.Graphics are beautiful,the gameplay is great and the striker mode bring a new dimension to the game.At the second place,I would choose the 97 edition because the ambience.The tv reports,the crowd(espiecially in the night-club stage) and the boss are very fun(I like the devil version of Iori).
