I had read that the destruction of South Town at the end of this KOF is a bankruptcy symbolism, without a doubt they really cared of South Town because it was the first location they created and it was an important part of the history of several of its games, so its destruction represented that the following SNK games would no longer be made by them, and when they returned as SNK Playmore in 2003, KOF 2003 implies that South Town is recovering again of the disaster that caused Clone Zero. But I must say, I have no justification for the stupid way in which the satellite works. By the way, stop saying that Playmore is not SNK, Playmore was founded by the original founder of SNK to recover their IPs and bring back old employees once things have stabilized economically.

[@MegamanNG]

Either way, I find it kind of depressing. that South Town got wiped the way it did.

What? Southtown was the target, but didn't actually get destroyed. This was only a fraction of the canon ending

So here's a little fun fact: 99 and 2000 replaced score with Battle Ability. They raise and lower depending on how well you played and having a high enough BA will give you secret fights(Iori or Kyo after the Krizalid fight in 99, Kula Midway or before the Zero fight in 2000) More importantly, BA is also affected by the DIFFICULTY YOU PLAY IN. You pretty much are never going to fight Kula in Level 1, but in Level 8, you're almost guaranteed to fight her(Unless you input the code to play as her. The Kula secret fight will never trigger if you have her on your team, most likely because she has her own ending.)

[@biggtakof4378]

[@alexmcneill6445]

Holy shit they blew up South Town! ...Eh, it'll be fine. (They can always go straight to Second Southtown anyway). The King of Fighters 2000 was SNK's goodbye song (and they have one called "Goodbye Esaka", Kyo's theme). With bankruptcy imminent, the gang wanted to go out with a bang. And how would they do it? By giving it everything they've got with the art and music and everything. Need I talk about the "EXTRA Strikers" (Another Striker) that are available in the Arcade version and the SPECIAL Strikers (Maniac Striker) in the console versions? SNK decided to include a LOT of strikers in this game from various SNK properties like Duck King from Fatal Fury, the original SNK mascot G-Mantle, Goddess Athena from the game called Athena (she's the ancestor of Athena Asamiya... yes, they all have Athena for the name xp), Kim Kaphwan's kids but older Kim Dong Hwan & Kim Jae Hoon from Garou: MOTW, and so many more. They truly did want to tell their loyal fans "goodbye"... But they would come back as SNK Playmore a couple of years later before later on renaming themselves SNK again with KOF 14's release~ They're back and with KOF 15, they're going to let everyone know their name~ Onto some facts~ - The game debuts the Anti-K' known as Kula Diamond~ She's just adorable...for a living weapon...at least around this time! Following K' and Maxima's ditching NESTS at the end of KOF '99, NESTS created the Anti-K' project who would be the opposite of K' in almost every way possible; opposite gender, opposite way of dressing, opposite personality and, more importantly, opposite powers. While K' uses the Kusanagi Flames, Kula uses powerful ice abilities. However, NESTS did not want to repeat past mistakes with K' and Kula, so they had three women monitor Kula; Candy Diamond, a robot and Kula's best friend/sister, and Foxy and Diana, her "mother figures" so to speak. They all appear in the altered ending IF you fight Kula before the final boss. In the canon ending, Kula appears in space, setting off the Zero Cannon one more time in an attempt to kill (Clone) Zero, but she descends back to Earth. Candy uses her body to protect Kula, but at the cost of her life. Apparently, she could not be rebuilt as she makes no (canonical) appearances after this. - Kula's next appearances following KOF 2001's events have her try to be seen as more than a simple weapon. Truth be told, she's simply a child (only 14... Hard to believe given the numerous official art, huh?) and she's scarred from the things she has done at NESTS' behest. Kula has become more human, losing the icy cold personality she had from 2000 and 2001 (remnants of her child-like self is seen through taunts or win animations). After 2001, she appears in KOF XI forming the future K' Team. - Kula's theme song of this game, Ice Place, would finally be remixed in KOF 14 as a Rival Theme that would only play when she fights against fellow (EX-)NESTS member, Angel. It would be remixed once more in SNK Heroines. - Apparently, Kula is the mascot of the "new millennium era of Neo Geo", alongside others like G-Mantle, Terry, and Kyo. This is seen in a special illustration (you can see it on the SNK Wiki if you'd like). - In Days of Memories (SNK's Dating Sim games...to get money, they were running low at the time), Kula is 18 instead of 14... Given that DoM is a Dating Sim series, it only makes sense. After all, other characters are either aged up or de-aged (like Mai Shiranui, for example). - The game's antagonist is a High-Rank NESTS officer...or shall I say EX-NESTS officer. Yes, Zero has turned traitor for the sake of his own ambition. Spoiler Alert: He's actually a clone of the real Zero who appears in KOF 2001 (more on that below). He is the one responsible for killing Krizalid last game and has started the mysterious Project '00 (it was foreshadowed in plenty of endings of KOF '99, mostly seen in the Edit Team Ending) which involved the Zero Cannon. The cannon was powered by the energy of the KOF participants... Spirit Energy perhaps? It's not _that_ out there given the history. T.T; The Zero Cannon was actually made using the same technology as Krizalid's battle armor which, as you saw last game, was able to record the fighters' "battle data". If you beat Kula before fighting (Clone) Zero, you'll see Foxy and Diana appear before him as Kula, who's all the way in space with the Zero Cannon, fires it down on Zero. This does not kill him, however. Whip goes to Zero and learns some devastating yet undisclosed private information (this is not told to us). In fury, Whip kills him (it's not shown outside the Japanese version. Remember how her gun attack is censored/omitted? Well, in the Japanese version, she outright shoots Zero with her gun). - The real Zero's appearance in KOF 2001 was, apparently, due to the company not really liking (Clone) Zero's appearance last game so they made him a clone of the Zero who'd appear in the next installment. - (Clone) Zero has a move that even the developers have jokingly called the "Zero Fart". It's actually a FIst of the North Star reference where some bad guy's cape move following an unseen attack, making it look like a "fart". XP - Just like last game, KOF 2000's assets were used in The King of Fighters EX2 for the GBA. However, EX2 is far more "original". The plot involves a man named Gustav trying to revive the spirit of Goenitz. His spirit was placed inside a boy named Sinobu Amou, though the process wasn't quite successful. Sinobu is the final boss of that game... Bleh. lol I didn't quite have a lot to say here, I won't lie. ^^;

You can tell Max want to get this over quick, not playing teams, not getting the team finish (the Fatal fury endings at least), playing in the easy dificulty, not even testing the "maximum" attacks.

Max said, "Good luck dickhead" to the boss after a hard fought victory...by time out. LOL!

[@mstevensh]

Ey Max! If you play a King of Fighter with only one character, the final boss is going to be a hard odyssey. All the king of fighters are made to be a multiple characters final battle. The dificulty of the final boss is made for a 3 vs 1.

[@AlexanderMartinez-kd7cz]

i thought that's the point of boss characters...

[@mstevensh]

@@AlexanderMartinez-kd7cz Yes. But the KoF series work differently. It's not a 1 vs 1 with a hard boss. It's a 3 vs 1 with a hard boss. The hard boss in a KoF is like 3 hard boss at the same time, cause is made to be 3 vs 1.

@@AlexanderMartinez-kd7cz Max isn't doing this to do Boss rages. This is a Legacy. SNK games are rough especially the early ones and Max still has a few games to go through. FF2 and 3 nearly killed the legacy due to how balls cracking hard they were. Finally, Terry's release into Smash Ultimate is right around the corner so there's not much time.

[@uandresbrito5685]

Hurts my soul to scroll through every comment to not find Alex' comment **snif**

[@Deltastar21]

yeah I had to keep scrolling till I found it Holy shit they blew up South Town! ...Eh, it'll be fine. (They can always go straight to Second Southtown anyway). The King of Fighters 2000 was SNK's goodbye song (and they have one called "Goodbye Esaka", Kyo's theme). With bankruptcy imminent, the gang wanted to go out with a bang. And how would they do it? By giving it everything they've got with the art and music and everything. Need I talk about the "EXTRA Strikers" (Another Striker) that are available in the Arcade version and the SPECIAL Strikers (Maniac Striker) in the console versions? SNK decided to include a LOT of strikers in this game from various SNK properties like Duck King from Fatal Fury, the original SNK mascot G-Mantle, Goddess Athena from the game called Athena (she's the ancestor of Athena Asamiya... yes, they all have Athena for the name xp), Kim Kaphwan's kids but older Kim Dong Hwan & Kim Jae Hoon from Garou: MOTW, and so many more. They truly did want to tell their loyal fans "goodbye"... But they would come back as SNK Playmore a couple of years later before later on renaming themselves SNK again with KOF 14's release~ They're back and with KOF 15, they're going to let everyone know their name~ Onto some facts~ - The game debuts the Anti-K' known as Kula Diamond~ She's just adorable...for a living weapon...at least around this time! Following K' and Maxima's ditching NESTS at the end of KOF '99, NESTS created the Anti-K' project who would be the opposite of K' in almost every way possible; opposite gender, opposite way of dressing, opposite personality and, more importantly, opposite powers. While K' uses the Kusanagi Flames, Kula uses powerful ice abilities. However, NESTS did not want to repeat past mistakes with K' and Kula, so they had three women monitor Kula; Candy Diamond, a robot and Kula's best friend/sister, and Foxy and Diana, her "mother figures" so to speak. They all appear in the altered ending IF you fight Kula before the final boss. In the canon ending, Kula appears in space, setting off the Zero Cannon one more time in an attempt to kill (Clone) Zero, but she descends back to Earth. Candy uses her body to protect Kula, but at the cost of her life. Apparently, she could not be rebuilt as she makes no (canonical) appearances after this. - Kula's next appearances following KOF 2001's events have her try to be seen as more than a simple weapon. Truth be told, she's simply a child (only 14... Hard to believe given the numerous official art, huh?) and she's scarred from the things she has done at NESTS' behest. Kula has become more human, losing the icy cold personality she had from 2000 and 2001 (remnants of her child-like self is seen through taunts or win animations). After 2001, she appears in KOF XI forming the future K' Team. - Kula's theme song of this game, Ice Place, would finally be remixed in KOF 14 as a Rival Theme that would only play when she fights against fellow (EX-)NESTS member, Angel. It would be remixed once more in SNK Heroines. - Apparently, Kula is the mascot of the "new millennium era of Neo Geo", alongside others like G-Mantle, Terry, and Kyo. This is seen in a special illustration (you can see it on the SNK Wiki if you'd like). - In Days of Memories (SNK's Dating Sim games...to get money, they were running low at the time), Kula is 18 instead of 14... Given that DoM is a Dating Sim series, it only makes sense. After all, other characters are either aged up or de-aged (like Mai Shiranui, for example). - The game's antagonist is a High-Rank NESTS officer...or shall I say EX-NESTS officer. Yes, Zero has turned traitor for the sake of his own ambition. Spoiler Alert: He's actually a clone of the real Zero who appears in KOF 2001 (more on that below). He is the one responsible for killing Krizalid last game and has started the mysterious Project '00 (it was foreshadowed in plenty of endings of KOF '99, mostly seen in the Edit Team Ending) which involved the Zero Cannon. The cannon was powered by the energy of the KOF participants... Spirit Energy perhaps? It's not that out there given the history. T.T; The Zero Cannon was actually made using the same technology as Krizalid's battle armor which, as you saw last game, was able to record the fighters' "battle data". If you beat Kula before fighting (Clone) Zero, you'll see Foxy and Diana appear before him as Kula, who's all the way in space with the Zero Cannon, fires it down on Zero. This does not kill him, however. Whip goes to Zero and learns some devastating yet undisclosed private information (this is not told to us). In fury, Whip kills him (it's not shown outside the Japanese version. Remember how her gun attack is censored/omitted? Well, in the Japanese version, she outright shoots Zero with her gun). - The real Zero's appearance in KOF 2001 was, apparently, due to the company not really liking (Clone) Zero's appearance last game so they made him a clone of the Zero who'd appear in the next installment. - (Clone) Zero has a move that even the developers have jokingly called the "Zero Fart". It's actually a FIst of the North Star reference where some bad guy's cape move following an unseen attack, making it look like a "fart". XP - Just like last game, KOF 2000's assets were used in The King of Fighters EX2 for the GBA. However, EX2 is far more "original". The plot involves a man named Gustav trying to revive the spirit of Goenitz. His spirit was placed inside a boy named Sinobu Amou, though the process wasn't quite successful. Sinobu is the final boss of that game... Bleh. lol I didn't quite have a lot to say here, I won't lie. ^^;
