Iori Yagami! King of Fighters 97 Iori Yagami!

There was King of Fighter's 94 ,then 95 , 96 and now we bring u........

THE KING OF FIGHTERS 97!!

The 4th series of "The King of Fighters" (A.K.A "KOF") , but NO, none of us are getting tired of it!!!
With the release of KOF 97, new teams have also been introduced to the game.

Character Select Screen

Here are the descriptions of the new teams!!!

  1. The Orochi Team - "Yashiro" , "Shermie" and "Chris" (That's also my name ^_^).
  2. The Real Bout Team (That's what i call it..) - "Yamazaki" , the cute and sexy "Blue Mary" and "Billy Kane".
  3. The All-New Girls,ahem.. Ladies Team - The ice cold "Chizuru", "King" and the favourite chick that everybody loves, "Mai Shuranui" !!
The release of King of Fighters 97 has definately made everybody talking about it, even until now!! Many of the characters now have 2 "specials" to execute.

Mai and Kyo One character i feel that has been improved would be the main character of the KOF series, "Kyo Kusanagi". The new "special" which he has learnt has made him more fearful. The other thing which SNK has improved Kyo on is his double-heavy kick. Using the new and improved Kyo, i can now execute more combos! (This is good information for those combo lovers!!)

KOF97 has also increased the gameplay speed. With the speed of the game being increased, practising combos would be even more challenging! Now there's also a new option for gameplay!!! ADVANCED Mode? or EXTRA MODE? That new function of the game has also drawn me more to the game....

In ADVANCED Mode, the team of characters that you have chosen will build up the "Special Power" Gauge when your character executes any skill or when he blocks when attacked. When the gauge becomes full, a shiny green circle appears in the right side of the gauge. That means you can execute the character's special. If the gauge is empty, the special cannot be executed. If you intend to store the "specials" , there is only a limit of three circles that you can store. For the MAX special, u will have to sacrifice two specials.

For the EXTRA mode, it works like the previous KOF series.... To execute a special, you can either store the gauge by holding down A+B+C or wait till your life meter is blinking red.

Well, that's the review of the King of Fighters 97!! It's an AWESOME game!!!!!
