97 had some pretty sweet stages imo

stages aside, i think it's the game with the smoothest controls in the series with the best character move sets. add nostalgia value to that and you have my favourite kof.

Gonna have to vote '98 for having the best roster in my opinion. Honorable mentions are '99 for having the best looking stage in the series and perhaps the best ever in any fighting game(the raining garden) and '96 for having the boss team.

I voted for 99 because it's my favourite to play. Best? I don't know, I'm not an expert, but that's the one that spends the most amount of time in my AES.

I went with 98 because for me it's just dat dream match, but I have to say 2k2 is really good and everyone should try it out.

I am also very strange but I love 94, and still play it a few times a week. For me it has all the great SNK feel, the intros, the music, and felt somewhat unbridled. The only downside of course is the custom team mechanic not yet being implemented but the game still plays super fast if you like to chain with the lighter A/B moves. It seems most people like to rely on the C/D moves in that game and then complain that it's slow or clunky.

This is the same reason I love 95 the most, so classy, that SNK fell so distinct, so palpable. I love all the KOFs, really, but 95 has that special place in my heart.

Choose 96 for the atmosphere, music, stages and boss team but everything between 94 and 2000 is pretty great...

99 had some great BGM. Its pretty fun game, sucks the strikers arent as useful as they are on 00-01. One thing that i didnt like was the back roll in that game. roll back, then hop forward

96 for me. Everything about it reminds me of that time period. Really any choice from 94-00 (I'll include 02 as well) could have an argument as to why it is the best.

98UM for me. Specifically the Steam version. I could never get very good at the PS2 version for whatever reason. Vanilla 98 has so much nostalgia for me, but 98UM makes some very respectable expansions on an already great game.

The King of Fighters Extreme for N-Gage, of course.


(not really)

I have the most love for 97-2000 because those are the ones I played first. If I had to pick one it'd probably be 98.
