I was wondering..
It's pretty much common sense that when people think of SNK, they come across the thought of King Of Fighters. It just goes hand in hand.
I was wondering. What is everyone's favorite King of Fighters game? And what is everyone else's favorite series besides KOF?
Mine would have to be KOF 98; the game was just awesome, but keep in mind that I have yet to get my hands on KOF 2000.
And my other fav series would have to be The Last Blade. This is just one of SNK's best work. And I really hope that there will be a sequel.

I keep changing my mind, but now I like KOF 96 best and I can't decide on series.

For me:
1. KoF 99 Evo (DC)
2. KoF 99 (NG)
3. KoF 96 (NG)
4. KoF 95 (NG)
5. KoF 98 (NG)
6. KoF 94 (NG)
7. KoF 97 (NG)
Haven't played 2000 yet, but I've heard mixed reviews. Evolution was just plain out done really awesome by SNK. I just wish Mr. Big was in it. Music was awesome too.

After playing all the KOF games alot lately (Well every one but '94 and '97) I really, really like '99.

In fact, I'm starting to think '99 is my absolute favorite. To me, it's an stunning work of art. To me, it definitely has the best graphics of the series (Especially backgrounds!).

As of right now, my favorites are:

1) '99
2) '96
3) '98
4) '00
5) '97
6) '95
7) '94

Sometimes you have to go back and revisit your games to fully appreciate them, no?

I've played the heck out of 2k. I really can't get enough of it. Great backgrounds, best select screens, great modes, just all around my favorite neo geo game.

Speaking of modes, is it just my copy or is Real bout 2 the only modern fight game without a vs mode??! By this I mean that the winner can't select another fighter, only the loser. ugh.

My favorite in the KOF series would be KOF 96, because it has the bosses as playable characters (Mr. Big, Krauser, Geese), and the music in most of the stages is good.
I also like KOF 94, because it's possible to beat the boss (Rugal) without using cheap and repetitive tactics.
I prefer other fighting series on the Neo Geo to KOF (Samurai Shodown, Last Blade, and Mark of the Wolves from the FF series).
