which KOF year has your favorite Artwork layout overall??

[GunstarHeroblack]

Any of you guys have A FAVORITE year for the Kof artwork/overall layout?? Mine would have to be Kof 1996, (even though the game itself has its flaws) the appearance of everyting looked balanced ......intro, game character art/ team winning poses, sprites, all had that fresh new start to them especially the "tournament "Background of Chizuru, and the apocolyptic afterwards background of Geonitz in that year. cool. 98's artwork layout was pretty cool too

in term of chara design i really love kof 99 and 2k : mai looks like a bitch in these games . i think kof 2002 design suks because it has no personality( i found kof 2k1 made by the same guy much more funny ^^)

 

[Syxx573]

I would have to agree that 96 does have the best layout, but as far as in-game artwork goes I enjoy all of them.

 

[FormlessOne]

It's not a year, but I think the EX2 artwork is the best. I love how Andy looks in that game.

 

[Vernon]

i love kof99 design, like an manga!!

 

[Korigama]

2000 and 2002.

 

[Spike Spiegel]

I'd have to say that would be 99 and 2000. Both have great artwork and set up. Oddly enough, 99 is one of my lesser favorite KOFs, but the artwork is great all the same.

As far as in game art work(stages, characters, etc.) I love the look of KoF96, 99(also love the added stages in the DC Jpn port), and 95(it looks old school, but the stages are very beautiful). KoF97 and 98 definately have their great moments, but fall short in some stages.

As far as best AES cart art work, KoF97 and 2000 are real cool. 98 and 99 are pretty good box art also.

95, slightly edging out 96 in my humble opinion.
and then 99 and 2000 are real great SNK works too.

heh

I actually enjoy the newer stuff, 2001 and 02...many people hate 2001 artwork...but I enjoy it.

 

[Diavle18]

2001. I really like the overall layout and the unique artwork, really makes it feel like a tourney.

96 is a close second.

 

[Devil_Gans]

KOF 99 has the best in-game artwork IMO.It has a cartoony look but yet ever so cool.Very well done.

KOF 2000 is second.

 

[Lord Yamazaki']

Hmmmm, tough one, but I think I'll say 2ks ingame art is best. From Intro, to character select, to the "avatars", to the winning quotes.

 

[GunstarHeroblack]

99 had some cool anime work happening there too...2k,2k1 and 2k2 style of the characters was unique and had a definate realistic edge to them too. MY TRIBUTE TO THIS SERIES.... THE "KING OF FIGHTERS1994-1998

94's- Lucky, HeavyD! and Brian.B........

 

[ray_7]

2k and 2k3.

 

[Moriya]

The KOF2000 art is simpy FANTASITC. AMAZING. OUTRAGEOUS. Best art in a fighting game EVAR.

[SEGA_X]

Me it has to be
99-2000-2001-2002-2003

 

[Yuri-chan]

I loved the KOF 2000 artwork the most; it was awesome. KOF '99 was pretty cool too and I also liked the 2002 artwork. Hmm, the 2001 artwork was just different but I don't actually hate it.

 

[Halox]

I'm goin with 00, 01, and 02.

 

[nothingxs]

'99 is very well designed, even if the game isn't as popular.
2000 is beautiful in terms of in-game artwork.
'98 looks pretty good, especially if you have the DC version with the silly animé intro.
2003... has Falcoon. How can you argue THAT?

 

[galfordo]

99 for me .

 

[RBjakeSpecial]

For best character protraits, kof 2k all the way. The art is just amazing in that.

I agree with Donut King, 2k1's Korea stage is sooooo cool, I still fire up that game just to see that stage.

My bg art would have to be kof 94 or 95, ecspecially Ioris 95 stage, with the crows, its amazing.
