simplesmente melhora o que já era muito bom

the best fighting game ever i love angel tho

one of the greatest fighting games of all time hands down

It's like they programmed the game to be mathematically as sick as possible.

Apparently a broken mess competitively, but who cares? This is the closest the fighting game genre ever came to art.

Despite its lack of polish or better gameplay, SVC Chaos should be commended just for having the biggest balls in crossover fighter history.

SNK themselves put Demitri in this game to rule 63 their own characters, and the true final bosses are fights in heaven and hell with creepy music blaring in the background. SNK gave zero fucks.

Ok, esse é o primeiro Dream Match da HISTÓRIA, acho que '98 foi o jogo que CRIOU esse termo, e isso é ótimo, história em FG é bacana mas né... O jogo tá visualmente mais polido, e a gameplay é uma das melhores da série, além disso a OST é GODLIKE!!!

8/10

NOTHING'S GONNA STOP US, IT'S 1998
A true classic in SNK's vast library of stellar fighting games. KOF '98 used to be my favorite entry in the series, and while it isn't anymore, it's so hard to resist loving this game. It's the first of the franchise to be of the "Dream Match" flavor, giving a perfect excuse to crossover all these characters we've met and loved throughout the Orochi Saga arc. The pure abundance of special character intros adds so much personality, and this is tied with the variety of new remixes present for multiple different team setups. You can't NOT get hyped when whatever music track currently playing completely stops for Kyo and Iori to have their meetup followed up by Esaka Forever or Arashi No Saxophone 3 settling in.
Yeah it's a Dream Match, sure, there's no canon consequences to any of this. But it still feels so in character and has it's value to the series as a whole, representing what the Orochi arc was and is. After this, it was time for the NESTS Saga arc, a continuation with it's entirely own mood and gameplay mechanics. The game visually is also a big improvement over KOF '97, reshading the character sprites to be more colorful alongside the lush, varied backgrounds. The train station and boat dock in particular have such comfort and style to them, and make me think of SNK's golden days of background art. Mechanically the game still has that old fashioned KOF clunk, but it's endearing and still super entertaining. The Advanced Gauge will never NOT be awesome. The roster is also great, and about every character has two entirely different movesets if you hold start when selecting them. Yeah, this entry was the introduction of EX Characters! Cute little reprises of characters in previous entries, finally giving me that goofy triple Kyo kick action again.
This is certainly a special game, and it's earned it's iconic legacy in both SNK's history and the FGC. While I can't exactly recommend KOF as a series to everyone, if you had to start with one "classic" style entry, this is a great starting point.

READY.... GO!

The amount of extra characters in the PS2 version and nods to older SNK titles in the roster make this game cool as hell. The PS2 release is the best way to play.

This is secretly the best king of fighters game but no one knows it

Ash is the perfect asshole and this game gives a good example of that

My little brother keeps saying "Kuma" means "bear" so that means "Akuma" means "a bear".

mfs be like いざ尋常に 一本目 勝負!

Truly one of the last great fighting games to release on this system. From the announcer to the opening intro movie, everything about this game oozes style and confidence. Love the character selection and awesome backgrounds with the Rally stage being my favorite. Each sprite has so much life and character that it really draws you in the game. If you have the chance please don't hesitate to play it if you get the chance!
