Fighting
The King of Fighters '99 established the series' core identity: frantic 3-vs-3 team battles where strategic character selection and meter management are paramount. The Striker system, which allowed players to call in an assist character, added a new layer of offensive and defensive options, further emphasizing tactical depth. For many, the thrill came from mastering a roster of diverse fighters and executing devastating combos, making each match a showcase of skill and execution.

About The King of Fighters '99: Millennium Battle

Details
Two years have passed since the last King of Fighters tournament and nobody has seen Kyo Kusanagi or Iori Yagami since they defeated Orochi at the climax of the 1997 tournament, but out of the blue, new invitations are sent out to many characters, inviting them to a brand new tournament, though this competition is more of a secretive affair than the ones in '96 and '97.
