The "King of Fighters" series has always had cheats for using hidden characters. The ones you are most familiar with are probably the Crazy Yagami An, Crazy Liana, and the members of the Crazy Orochi Team in "The King of Fighters 97"! During battles, players often request that hidden characters cannot be used, as they would destroy the balance!
In fact, the secret codes for selecting hidden characters have appeared since the "King of Fighters 95" period. However, "The King of Fighters" was not particularly popular at that time. Although many people played it, most people did not know the secret codes for selecting Kusanagi Shibafune and Lukar. .
The cheats of "King of Fighters 95" are probably the most troublesome. You will know just by looking at the instructions:
Select: YES in the "TEAM EDIT" screen, then press and hold the start key, and then press ↑+B, →+C, ←+A, ↓+D. The whole process is completed in one go, and Kusanagi Shibafune and Lukar will appear.
When "King of Fighters 96" was in the game arcade, BOSS could not be selected. Kagura Chizuru and Storm Konitz had created shadows for many players. However, it can be used in home mode and can be selected through cheats. The "Three Artifacts" team and the "Orochi Team" also have very special plots, which can also be seen when we cheat on the arcade platform.
It is more convenient to select hidden characters in "King of Fighters 98", just press and hold the start button. However, "True Lucal" cannot be selected in the arcade version.
"The King of Fighters 99" is quite interesting, as it actually uses Iori Yagami and Kyo Kusanagi as hidden characters.
However, in the Sound Nest chapter, they did not have a suitable team to compete, and the plot was relatively marginalized. Letting them appear as hidden characters and hidden bosses can not only highlight their popularity, but also enhance their status again.
In fact, the secrets for selecting people are also prompted in the victory screen, but certain conditions need to be met. At that time, the game arcade could be used directly without any prerequisites.
Choose Kyo Kusanagi's secret book: Where? Press the start key at the number and enter ←→↑←↓→
Select Iori Yagami's secret book: Where? Press the start key at the number and enter →←↑→↓←
In the home console mode, you can also choose Gulicha, Seth, Vanessa, and some hidden assistance characters. On the arcade platform, we can only choose Iori Yagami and Kusanagi Kyo at most.
In addition, the game has a selection BUG.
After we use the cheat code to select Kusanagi Kyo, move the cursor to Liana and click the direction key ↖ to select Iori Yagami directly. At this time, Yagami'an's avatar display is not turned on, but it is already available. As shown in the picture:
In "The King of Fighters 2000", the only hidden BOSS that can be used is Kula, and C-ZERO cannot be used.
However, there are a lot of hidden aids in this game, and debugging these characters is part of the fun of the game. This is SNK's last game before bankruptcy, so characters who have participated in SNK games have the opportunity to appear. It was also in this version that we met the Windbreaker Yagami, and the Orochi Yagami also appeared again through the assistance platform.
How to choose Kula: In the person selection screen, move the cursor to Vipu and press the "Start key", move the cursor to Vanessa and press the "Start key", move the cursor to Seth and press the "Start key", move to Maxima Press the "Start key", move to K' and press the "Start key", then enter the "?" option, click the "Start key" once, and then enter "up and down". At this time, we can see it under the "?" Arrived at Kula.
The BOSS of the motherboard is directly selected.
So how are the hidden aids in the game selected?
This is a general secret for all characters! As long as you learn this trick, you can select all the characters you want to choose.
Windbreaker Iori:
Select the method, use Iori Yagami as an aid, and then after switching to Vesmetron, start inputting the command: up, left, left, right, right, down, and the windbreaker Iori will appear.
We can directly select other hidden characters through this method. Like the thin version of Chen Guohan and the taller version of Cai Baoqi.
In "The King of Fighters 2001", only the console can use the BOSS character, so there are no cheats.
In "The King of Fighters 2002", there are so many hidden characters. Among them are Chris of the Fire, Charmei of the Wild Inamitsu, the Seven Shackles Society of the Dry Land, and Kusanagi.
The cheats chosen by these characters are all relatively simple.
You only need to click the start button on the ordinary Orochi Team option to use it, which is relatively simple.
Place the selection cursor at Kusanagi Kyo's position, and then enter up, down, right, left, down, up, left, and Usa Nagi Kyo will appear.
After choosing Uragusa Nagikyo, Shiroichi Nagikyo can no longer be used.
It is estimated that many players said that Lukar can also choose! After all, this character can be used in many versions played.
But unfortunately, you can't choose it in the original version. This character is far beyond balance and can only be used in the revised version.
On the PS2 platform, "The King of Fighters 2002" has added a large number of classic characters familiar to players.
The most difficult character to appear is KING. If you want to use it, you must enter the "CHALLENGE's SINGLE ATTACK" mode and defeat the 40th character "Lucal". A new character KING will be added to the selection interface. The same is true for the selection method of Shingo Yabuki.
In addition, the game has also added several hidden characters such as Rage Yagami, Goenitz, and Geese. You need to complete the TIME ATTACK mode in "CHALLENGE" and complete 20 LEVEL before the hidden characters will appear.
In "The King of Fighters 2003", the commands used by Usagi Kyo and Kagura Chizuru are relatively complicated, which is very difficult for keyboard players. And as long as there is a slight angle that is not rubbed, it cannot be selected.
In. Kusanagi Kyo - down, left down, left, left up, left, left down, down, right down, right, right up + punch
Kagura Chizuru - up, left up, left, left down, down, right down, right, right up, right, right down, down, left down + punch
Arcade machines have become a part of gaming history, yet they have remained popular with nostalgic gamers over the years.
Nowadays, we are in the post-00s world, and all kinds of new games are emerging one after another.
Players of our generation seem to have already stopped playing, and no matter how interesting new games are, they cannot arouse interest.
After many years of wandering around, now that we are thirty years old, we look back and realize that the carefree time in the game arcade was really too luxurious.
