Overview
The King of Fighters 2000 is a 2D 3-on-3 fighting game developed and published by
SNK for the
Neo Geo. It is the seventh installment of the
King of Fighters series and is the final King of Fighters game by the original SNK before the company became financially bankrupt. The story continues from
The King of Fighters '99, as commander
Heidern uses the King of Fighters tournament (with the aid of his friend, Ling, who has his own secret agenda) to lure protagonists
K' and
Maxima out so they could be interrogated into telling the whereabouts of the evil NESTS syndicate.
The Hero team from the previous installment was split into two teams: the Hero team and the Benimaru team, each including new characters, such as the mercenary
Vanessa, the Mexican wrestler
Ramon, the agent
Seth, and the assassin
Lin.
Blue Mary and
King from the Women Fighters team are swapped with
Mai Shiranui and
Yuri Sakazaki of the Fatal Fury and Art of Fighting team.
Li Xiangfei from the Women Fighters team was replaced by the new
Hinako Shijo.
Kyo Kusanagi and
Iori Yagami are playable with no team association, with Kyo's clones absent. A new character and sub-boss,
Kula Diamond (the "Anti-K'"), debuts in this installment.
The game also features unique alternate Strikers based on characters from either earlier installments of the King of Fighters series, from other SNK franchises, or completely new conceptual versions of characters. (Such as alternate costumes for K' and Iori)
