The King of Fighters 98

The backgrounds in this version are incredibly detailed, making each fight feel like a real arcade brawl. I also appreciate that the power up bar carries over from '97, adding some nice strategic depth.

I've always loved how the power up bar from '97 feels even more satisfying here, making super moves easier to pull off when you need them most. The combatant designs are so imaginative, each fighter brings something unique to every match.

The detailed backgrounds in this game make each stage feel like a gritty arcade where you can almost smell the dust. The roster feels inventive, and charging the power bar to unleash those super moves adds a satisfying rhythm to the fights.
