I do enjoy the King of Fighters series generally but this entry is just a lazy quickly rushed out entry that tries to mimic 2002 but just doesnt really do anything to make itself stand out. Worse still, some of the new techniques it adds actively hurts the overall balance so.

Dont get me wrong, theres still some fun here but most people would generally be better off playing one of the other games. This ones for completionists, collectors with money to burn on expensive titles and thats it.
