The King of Fighters XI: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 14:12, 2 July 2006

Introduction

Released in arcades in 2005, The King of Fighters XI is SNK's latest and hotly anticipated 2D fighting exploit. Featuring a roster of over 40 characters, XI continues the saga set out by KoF 2003 as Ash Crimson continues his hunt for power. Featuring a series of new gameplay systems such as Skill Stocks and Dream Cancels, KoF XI shakes up the established King of Fighters formula. Add onto that the 3-man tag system from KoF 2003 and SNK strikes back with an A+ title in an age of dying 2D fighters.
