Which KOF is best per Character?

[Xian Xi]

Moveset and fluidity, which KOF is best for each character?

I know for Terry it's easily 96 due to the no charge moveset. His whole moveset is so easy to pull off. Makes using him so enjoyable. I hate the ones with the charges the most.

I'd say 98 is best for Takuma, Terry, Iori, Orochi Yashiro, Goro and Chizuru.

97 for Blue Mary, Joe, Yamazaki ( at high level ) and Kyo.
NeoWave for Choi. He's really a poking bastard in there.
2001 for Heidern, Kim

There's too many chars and KOFs.
But imo, these are the versions of those chars where they kick ass.

Terry is a charge character. You not liking that means you don't like Terry.

Anyway, KOF 2002 for Vanessa, Ramon, and Billy.

I don't much like '97, but a case could be made for '97 Shermie over '98 and 2002.

Those are the ones that jump to mind immediately.

'03 for Duo Lon, I guess haha

But seriously, Terry. When it comes to Fatal Fury games and characters, there's either my opinion or the wrong opinion.

Random mumblings...

I liked Kim best in KOF 02. I really liked his revision for that game. Messed it up in 03 though.

Kyo I liked best in 2001. He was also good in 03.

Andy was best in 95 imo. I think he's been shit in KOF ever since, thus why they reverted him in XII/XIII to his 95 self.

TBH... I liked most of the characters best in 95! Mai was at her best in that too.

Robert was great in 95, 98, 02 & 03... no clear choice there.

97 for Blue Mary, Joe, Yamazaki ( at high level ) and Kyo.

Benimaru is a blast in '97.

Terry is a charge character. You not liking that means you don't like Terry.

I don't mind playing him as a charge character but he's way easier to play without charging. You don't have to rely on holding a direction for so long to execute the command for his moves. I started playing Terry in FF, I hated that they made him some half-breed charge half circle character. That's why I like 96, the moveset makes the most sense.

'97 He had an infinite corner trap with Rising Tackle.

i always thought that kof 96,97 and 98 had the best versions of all the characters, terry,kyo,robert and leona especially were great in those game. however, i do love the kof 95 ryo and roba and really enjoy playing as k' in kof 03, although he was great in kof 02 as well.

 

[NeoGeoFanatic]

Heidern KOF 95 - It was easy to pull off counters and his move set overall wall good. Besides, his lower kick had a cheap long reach.

However, just the fact that Mai is in the games is enough to play FF and KOF games!

Robert was great in 95, 98, 02 & 03... no clear choice there.

I really liked '03 Robert, probably my favorite version of him. Too bad that version was only used once then usurped by NGBC Robert.
