Also, once you get the power-bar fully charged, it not only allows you to perform special attacks and super-blows, but it also lets you to either upgrade your offensive (press A+B+C when the bar is full) or defensive (B+C+D) capabilities as well this time.Īnd here you can see, why some of the more conservative people had so many objections against the game. In addition to that, by pressing B and C mid-battle, a character can call in the ‘striker’, which is a team-unique non-playable character that can provide you with a limited support in the combat. And indeed-believe it or not-it’s not that bad at all.Īfter four installments in the series, people at SNK probably felt like the combat system needs a bit of revamping, and so instead of 3-on-3 matches, this time they switched on to a 4-on-4 format. You see, I’m a huge fan of the series, but since I’m more of a casual player, I can freely ignore all of that and enjoy the game for what it is. Yes, they all have their point (some fans feel as some of the available characters were unnecessarily nerfed, some point out the fact that the game is incredibly buggy, some can’t stand the new ‘striker’ system, some don’t like the smaller number of available characters and some just straught away hate it because Ryo is missing from the roster). But to be truth, I don’t think it’s completely fair. Let’s face it, there isn’t too much love for the King of Fighters 99 in the world of hardcore KoF fans.
