KOF 2000 has the best portraits in all the series,one of the best soundtracks and sprite work, pushing the neo geo to the limit. By that time snk had a bunch of talent working for them it's quite a shame we didn't get to see what they could have a accomplished together with more powerful hardware after the Company's demise in the same year.

If you noticed the portraits of KOF2000 have the characters make their signature poses of their special attacks before/aftermath. Examples like Ryo using his Ichigeki Hissatsu, or Iori preparing to use Maiden Masher (asobi wa owari da), and to simple ones like Takuma using Ko ou-ken, Ramon's Sobat Kick, Ralf's Galactica Phantom and even Clark's running elbow after he throws someone. It's weird that I only noticed this poses just now after all this time. It maybe don't fit for winning poses but certainly great for dynamic poses either way.

I've always thought the 2001 portraits have a lot of personality to them, the stylization ain't all that bad. The problem is, it just doesn't fit a KOF game. If I look at it as fanart tho, yeah pretty good I'd say. 2000 portraits are king however, top tier stuff.
