The King of Fighters

The King of Fighters, officially abbreviated KoF, is a popular fighting game franchises from SNK/Playmore. The series has had a minor following in the U.S. by comparison to Asia. This is also due to the lack of U.S. home ports and poorer arcade showings by comparison to to the Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat series in the U.S. Since 1994 there have been 15 arcade releases of the game. The first games were all dated by the year of release KOF 94 through KOF 2003. These were followed up with KOF XI through XIII minus the ambitious release schedule. KOF Neowave in 2005 and KOF Maximum Impact Regulation A in 2007 deviate from the core series. The series has produced several characters drawn from the library of SNK games. Because of this, many of the characters are frequently reproduced in MUGEN. The games' back story also lends to the frequent creation of edited godlike characters. This is easily attributed to the Orochi (94-97) and Nest (99-01) storylines as well as the more recent "those from the past" storyline. While the series is a MUGEN inspiration on its own with 90+ characters created just for the series. The fact that characters from SNK's Fatal Fury and Art of Fighting series have also become staples of KOF has led to MUGEN creators to resprite not only the KOF backstory NPCs but FF and AoF characters that never appeared in the KOF line-up. These and various edits of Kula and Kyo (to name the most popular sources) can be found all over MUGEN sites in Asia and South America
