Summary

Two years have passed since the last King of Fighters tournament and nobody has seen Kyo Kusanagi or Iori Yagami since they defeated Orochi at the climax of the 1997 tournament, but out of the blue, new invitations are sent out to many characters, inviting them to a brand new tournament, though this competition is more of a secretive affair than the ones in '96 and '97. Unlike in previous games of the series, there are four characters per team instead of three, with the fourth serving as a "Striker", a fighter whose function is only to enter a match, attack the opponent and leave without replacing their teammates. In total, there are seven teams, each containing four characters, four Team Edit characters and a boss.

In my opinion...King of Fighters is the most underrated fighting franchise. Some of you may argue no it's actually Dead or Alive or Virtua Fighter. No one cares about those. Being in a dead or alive or virtua Fighter fan base is like going to meghan trainor concert. Empty.

Now King of fighters 99 was my second ever fighting game I ever played outside of Tekken 2. Can't say that I've played a lot of this franchise but I've played enough to qualify to review this franchise thank you very much!🙄

Now in my opinion going into this, it is best to play as Co op against a friend, I'm not sure if this can be played online on the ps4/5 but playing offline is just as fun. I've always played this with my cousin on the ps1 and on the 5 offline and I had a blast. The music is so exciting that it always got me pumped up for any match. Winning matches raises your rank from the points you receive.

The characters themselves have all unique designs and move sets and there is no clear shift on the Meta in my opinion everyone is perfectly balanced, which makes the experience just as enjoyable as you get to experience how each character functions. You can play as single or you can even tag Battle and can call you tag team mate to Land a few hits very much like your Marvel vs capcoms. The graphics sure could be better but it is a very sentimental game. And the roster is not even that bad. It is decent enough not like tekken 2 but it has a decent amount of characters.

I've played a lot this one on PS1. Fantastic scenarios, songs and new characters. Gameplay isn't as good as the previous versions, though. Fun game, overall.
