EXPERIENCE CLASSIC THE KING OF FIGHTERS 97 COMBAT

The King of Fighters ’97 keeps the classic three-versus-three team format. Choose three fighters and face opposing teams one by one, with character order, health, timing, and resource management all affecting the outcome.

Build A Team Of Three Fighters: Choose from iconic characters such as Kyo Kusanagi, Iori Yagami, Terry Bogard, Leona, and Chizuru Kagura. Each fighter offers unique attacks, special moves, and strengths for different team combinations.
Use Combos And Special Moves: Combine normal attacks, command moves, and special techniques to create effective combos. Well-timed Desperation Moves can also help turn a difficult round in your favor.

Advanced And Extra Modes

Advanced Mode: Build the Power Gauge, activate MAX Mode, use Desperation Moves, roll to evade attacks, and perform different jumps for fast, aggressive combat.

Extra Mode: Inspired by KOF ’94 and ’95, this mode uses Evade instead of rolling and features a different Power Gauge system, with Desperation Moves available in critical health situations.
