Among the previous versions of "The King of Fighters", 98 and 2002 are two versions with relatively good balance. It is precisely because of this that "98UM" and "2002UM" were launched later.
"The King of Fighters 2002" added a hidden special move for the first time, which is the MAX2 special move.
It can only be used by exploding when there is still blood. It is very entertaining and extremely lethal, giving all players the confidence to make a comeback. The setting of hidden special moves was continued in subsequent "The King of Fighters New Wave" and "The King of Fighters 2002UM".
The special move of MAX2 in "The New Wave of The King of Fighters" has actually not changed much, except for the addition of lightning special effects.
To be honest, I was really surprised when I first saw the hidden kill in "The King of Fighters 2002". This should be the 2D era, and SNK has been able to create the most innovative nirvana!
I don’t know who you thought was the best hidden kill in “The King of Fighters 2002” back then?
This is definitely a super move that will make SNK go down in history.
The Shiranui-ryu ancient martial arts has reached its ultimate effect, and no one can defend against it. As long as the distance is close enough, it cannot be avoided. The idea behind this move is actually to demonstrate Shiranui-ryu's charming technique and then deliver a fatal blow.
Why Andy has been reluctant to marry Mai Shiranui probably has something to do with this move!
Each time it is released, there will be several effects, such as wearing a wedding dress, raising your buttocks, or taking off your kimono. Anyway, there is nothing that can make Andy not green. Maybe the audience from the front can't see it, but the audience from the other side can see it very clearly!
Maybe I even used a high-definition camera to capture this wonderful scene.
During the "NEOGEO Arena" period, her martial arts skills seemed to have reached a higher level. After restraining the opponent, the most powerful secret can be released:
Peony under the moon
If Mai Shiranui can enter the level-breaking game, she will be very powerful.
The art of seduction works for everyone.
Use your opponent's blood to create the brightest rose, which is unparalleled beauty.
This trick is actually brought over from the Legend of the Hungry Wolf period. However, the blood roses that bloomed in "Legend of the Hungry Wolf" were not so bright.
It's a pity that the special effects of blood roses were canceled in "King of Fighters 15". If it were made with today's technology, it would definitely be gorgeous!
For so many years, I have always believed that the ultimate form of Yagami'an Cangyan is: Flame Ou
Simple and clear, after jumping over and grabbing the opponent, you will get an explosive energy, which is very lethal and has perfect special effects. Very consistent with the characteristics of Crazy Eight.
During the "King of Fighters 15" period, Yagami'an's pinnacle sure-kill: Ri Chibi Thirty-One. The special effects of Yagami, Kototsukiin and Yanou were incorporated into it. It can be said to be Yagami'an's most perfect sure-kill effect.
Some time ago, Yagami'an's performance was relatively weak, but fortunately, after this update, Yagami'an's performance has returned.
After 97, Kusanagi Kyo briefly lost the ability to release one of the three divine skills, "No Shiki", but fortunately he learned another move, "God Dust", which could barely compete with Yagami'an's Flame Ou.
Although Shen Chen is a transitional stage, the special effects in the game are quite amazing. It is a command throw with super strong attack judgment, and can even get priority in a sure-kill confrontation.
"King of Fighters 15" Kyo Kusanagi's pinnacle kill is: Ri Sen Er Bai Shi Er Shi. Yakumo
It exactly echoes the "strange lamp" of Yagami-an. This move incorporates Wu Shi and the "One Hundred and Eighty-Two Shiki", which is currently the strongest secret of the Kusanagi family.
Divine dust seems to have become the exclusive skill of Kusanagi Kyo in white clothes.
It is said that since 97, Lianna has had the ability to control the blood of the serpent.
In "The King of Fighters 2002", Liana briefly went berserk by losing blood. The attack and speed are greatly improved, and moves that could not be connected before can be easily connected.
The hidden special move can only be released after triggering the rampage state. I just don’t know if she roared these times to increase the damage?
Liana in "King of Fighters 15" can also turn her hair directly into blood red, but at this time there is no need to lose blood.
The ultimate ultimate move released was inherited from Hardiron, and the power of this move was maximized through the blood of the serpent, surpassing the previous "Spinning Spark"
The top kill "Liana Sword" and "Spinning Spark" look very similar, and now Lyanna no longer needs to use bombs to achieve it.
Back then, some people actually dared to use this move in actual combat. The opponent reacted instinctively and attacked, which happened to hit Billy's body move. Then, after a set of combos, more than half of his health was gone.
It stands to reason that Billy only has one stick, so how did he create the afterimages of so many sticks?
To be honest, I was shocked when I first saw this move in "The King of Fighters 97". The aura was too strong and was not on the same level as other characters. It was worthy of the Will of the Earth.
In "NEOGEO Arena", the cloned snake "Jiao" appears and can still use this move.
Later in "The King of Fighters 2002", the awakened Chris could briefly summon a big snake to appear. After all, he used to be a medium, and he had more or less understood some secrets, and he could activate them through his own serpent's blood.
I believe careful players have discovered that the snake posture in "NEOGEO Arena" and "The King of Fighters 2002" is one finger pointing to the sky and the other pointing to the ground.
This setting actually refers to the Buddha's coming into the world and being the only one in the world. This also appeared in "Saint Seiya".
The reincarnation of Buddha
"The King of Fighters 15" currently does not have the Flame Chris, but the ultimate kill presented by the normal Chris is still amazing.
The summit of Kula is the "Glacier Ridge", which looks quite shocking.
Of course, every player likes different super-kills. You are welcome to add more.
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.
