KOF 99 (I'm hopelessly addicted)

Man, same here! I know lotsa people rag on the game but to me it's juste barely not as awesome as KOF 98 (meaning it's really really awesome and just a shade below KOF 98 for fave game). IMO the fact that strikers aren't "live" makes the game really strategic, none of the mindless infinites or 100%s in 2K. Haven't seen enough of KOF 2K1 to comment on it about the strikers. But the backgrounds in 99 are all awesome (who cares if nothing happens in the Museum stage? The TRex is all sorts of awesome), and the gameplay is very fine-tuned. 100%s take real skill and are nearly impossible (a lot rely on being in Armor mode (for 10 seconds, not lots of leeway) and doing an infinite based on AB+(button) over and over, off a juggle).
Sorry to rant but SNK really really did a lot of good with 99. Awesome presentation, great endings, superb soundtrack... SHAME that Kyo and Iori aren't playable without a stupid, stupid code (I am getting the unibios when I get some money, rest assured).
PEOPLE, GO PLAY '99!! NOW!
