Overview

The King of Fighters '99 is the sixth King of Fighters game in SNK's The King of Fighters series. The game was ported to the Neo Geo CD, PlayStation, and Dreamcast.

Gamplay Features

One of the new gameplay features that King of Fighters introduce is "Strikers," when the player picks the three characters for his or her team, the player must choose a fourth character as a Striker. What the Striker does is the Striker will come out and assist the player for a short amount of time - it's similar to the Marvel Vs Capcom games.

The player has the power gauge to perform special attacks but can use it to perform two other moves as well; such as "Armor Mode," with the use of three stocks from the power gauge, the player's character's power will increase and will start flashing yellow. The other feature is "Counter Mode,"when the player uses up the three stocks from the power gauge, the player can perform as many special moves as he or she wants.
