Just logging this as something I saw credits on. The credit sequence is actually super rad, looks like it was inspired by something you'd see at the end of a movie.

I know this is all personal taste and what have you, but I've always felt "at home" with KOF even if my skill with the game has never really been especially high. Aesthetic, character design, music all A+ work and the game's mechanics are easy enough to understand but hint at some real depth.

I love what I've played so far, but honestly there are a couple issues with the PC version that cut into my arbitrary rating; I had to dig for community fixes to a Vsync issue before really firing up the game in earnest, because the game itself doesn't offer a lot of PC setting options beyond a simple resolution/window type change and some effect toggles. That, and I've noticed some stages tend to have some strange lag/other issues online despite both players having no issue running the same stages/conditions offline. Praise be to SNK for giving us rollback, because the fair majority of matches have been smooth, but they can have the other star back from me once more of these issues get ironed out.
