So , in 99 you can unlock access to kyo and iori by playing through with a preset team to fight kyo after krizalid, and then playing through with a random select team and fighting iori after krizalid.

I did it with the preset team pretty easily on one credit (using hero team) and faced Kyo after, but due to the shitty selection of random characters I got I didn't finish it on one credit and didn't face Iori after Krizalid.

I guess what I'm asking is can you get the K and I on the title screen to come up individually or does K.I only come up when you have satisfied both criteria? I was surprised to not see a K at least when I did the procedure to unlock him correctly, (I know you still have to do the code to select him), I was just expecting to see the K on the title screen thats all.

Maybe it only comes up as K.I when you have beaten Kyo and Iori on one credit?

Man, thank god for the unibios. :annoyed: , I'll just either play it in home mode or I expect there'll be a cheat to unlock them straight away. :)

No-one?

Lame.

Well, the homecart and NGCD versions have both already available... poor MVS gamers, teehehe... ;)

According to Kao Megura's KoF99 FAQ, the letters should come up as soon as you've met the requirements for one chara, e. g. a k when you unlocked Kyo, i for Iori, or both.

Here's a quote from the FAQ covering unlocking and fighting the two:

KoF99 FAQ by Kao Megura said:
[ Enable Kyo / Iori ] ------------------------------------------------

This code is not needed for the Neo*Geo home cart, which will already
have Kyo and Iori available. Anyway, to enable Kyo and / or Iori:

- Start up a Team Battle game and highlight the ? box (the Roulette),
and let it pick all your characters. At some point, if you get at
least three of the characters listed below in your team, win the
battle with that team (you can beat the CPU, or the second player):

For Kyo: Benimaru, K', Kyo-1, Kyo-2, Maxima, Shingo, or Whip.
For Iori: Athena, Bao, Jhun, Kasumi, Kim, Leona, or Xiangfei.

- Once you win the battle with the proper members in your team, the
code to unlock either Kyo or Iori will appear once the battle is
over; It shows up in the upper left corner of the screen while your
character's win quote is being displayed, and looks like this:
IORI (or KYO) START + [ ? ] +. I had gotten the Iori code
requirements fulfilled first, then the Kyo requirements, but instead
of displying both names, it just said KYO START + [ ? ] +. Anyway,
at this point, you don't have to go on and beat the game--it's
alright if you lose.

- Once you return to the title screen, you'll notice that a <k> mark
has appeared at the bttom center of the screen if you fulfilled Kyo's
requirement (or an <i> mark for Iori, or a <k.i> mark if you fulfilled
both requirements).

- Anyways, once you have the appropriate mark, start a new game, and
move to the Roulette. Hold Start, then enter the following code:

For Kyo: Press left, right, up, left, down, right.
For Iori: Press right, left, up, right, down, left.

- The corresponding character will become playable the moment you press
in the last direction (the little sun or moon box will simply change
to the portrait of Kyo or Iori with no fanfare or anything).

This code has been fully tested by yours truly, so use it to your
heart's content :) Special thanks to IorI for helping me perform
this code, and for giving me some corrections as well.


[ Fight Kyo / Iori ] -------------------------------------------------

Your Battle Score determines who you can fight. If after beating
Krizalid, it's at 200 or higher, you get to fight Iori (I haven't tried
this myself). If it's at 280 or higher, you get to fight Kyo (this
I've managed to do). The only problem with this code is that you have
to have to use one of the 'original' teams (such as: Ryo, Robert, Yuri,
Takuma, or Leona, Ralf, Clark, Whip). You can't make the team up of
varying members (so there's no chance of fighting Kyo or Iori while
using Kyo or Iori, in other words).

thanks tak.
I thought you just had to make it to kyo or iori to unlock them.
me and a friend were trying to unlock them using the code without
doing the random thing first.
cool beans.
