== Gameplay Overview ==
[[File:The_King_of_Fighters_97screen.jpg]]
 
== Subsystems ==
* '''Block''' - Hold back to block mid hitting and overhead attacks or down-back to block low attacks. While blocking, you take no damage from normals and a single pixel-per-hit when blocking special/desperation moves. You can also block in the air while jumping up or back. Ground normals cannot be air guarded.
 
* '''Air Block''' - For Advanced Mode:  Neutral Jump or Back Jump and hold any backwards direction.  For Extra Mode:  Full Jump in any direction and hold any backwards direction.  This type of defense only works against special moves, desperation moves and against any aerial attack that isn't an air throw.  Any grounded normal attack will hit any airborne opponent.  The only known exception is if the character is already air-blocking and the opponent lands before the character does and attacks with a grounded normal attack.  In this instance, the airborne character will maintain an air block.  At certain heights, a character cannot air block until the character reaches a higher altitude.
 
* '''Hop''' - Performed by quickly tapping any upward direction. Performing a hop can be difficult at first but being able to select from any jump option at a moment's notice is absolutely vital to KOF. One trick is to quickly move from an upward direction to down in order to avoid holding up for too long and causing a jump.  Hops are fast and possibly the least vulnerable of all jump types (the hopping player moves forward under 1/3 of the screen's length) which make them difficult to react to when under pressure. Using air-to-ground attacks from hops is a quick way to keep the opponent blocking while gaining frame advantage afterward. Once used to seeing hops, they become easier to anti-air when an opening presents itself. Hops are great for baiting and then punishing sweeps.
 
* '''Hyper Hop''' - Performed by first pressing any downward direction, then quickly tapping up-forward or up-back. You cannot hyper hop straight up, eg. neutral. Can also be done by running and inputting a hop. Hyper hops are even faster and travel further than normal hops.
 
* '''Jump''' - The option that should be the most familiar with most fighting game players, jumps in KOF are performed the same way as in any game: just press and hold any upwards direction.  Jumps reach a high vertical height which suits them for maneuvering over non-ground hugging fireballs or challenging the other player in the air. Jumping carries a longer aerial hang time which gives the other player more substantial time to counter with an anti-air or air-to-air. Additionally, a normal jump covers the same horizontal distance as a hyper hop. Jumps end up getting punished more often than either hops, and so much like in any fighting game the player should have a set reason or strategy in mind before jumping heedlessly.
 
* '''Super Jump''' - Super jumps are done by pressing any downward direction and holding up-back or up-forward. It can also be performed by jumping normally while running. You cannot super jump straight up, eg. neutral. A super jump travels a bit further than 1/2 of the screen length. Combined with the widescreen ratio this creates more safety from fullscreen against being jumped on. A super jump travels faster and further than a standard jump although tall vertical height of the jump arc makes this the easiest of all air options to counter with an anti-air.
 
* '''Back Dash''' - Tap back twice quickly. During a back dash, you are considered airbone which means you can perform air command normals and air special moves as well as evade low attacks. Using a command normal will cause the trajectory and recovery period of the back dash to change.
 
* '''Guard Cancel Strike (CD counter)''' - Press C and D simultaneously while guarding a move. Similar to Dead Angle Attacks from ArkSys games, your character cancels their guard animation and blockstun into their C+D attack to (hopefully) counter your opponent's move. Uses one power stock.
 
* '''Taunt''' - Press Start. Has no use in gameplay other than to style on your opponent or mock them. Note that you do not have to commit to the entire taunt animation, it can be canceled by movement after a certain time.

= Basic Strategy =
 
*Use neutral hops(and jumps) attacks as means sometimes to defend yourself. In the Fatal Fury and KOF games it can look like your ground normals are terrible/not as strong. Using neutral hops and jumps this can make the difference for stopping air attacks where your ground attacks wouldn't do the job. As well as tag grounded attacks with hops. Finding the sweet spot and timing for certain air attacks will take practice.
 
= Advanced Strategy =
 
* '''Throw Bug''' : A widespread tech who permits to connect jump attacks with special / DM throw (very useful to characters who have one or several special / DM throw in their movelist thus).
 
 
For example : j.C > hcf + P with Iori.
 
 
j.D > hcb, f + C with Chang.
 
 
j.A > (hcb + P) *2 with Clark
 
 
* '''Ghost step''' : A widespread tech also which is much more complicated to do but which must be mastered because it has important advantages.
 
 
- Firstly, you can link combos who're normally unlinkable without Ghost Step (C > f + A > (qcb + C) *3 after hcf + P with Iori, C > f + B > hcf + B after hcf + A with Joe etc)
 
 
- Secondly , You can punish moves who're normally unpunishable without Ghost Step / Guard Cancel Roll.
 
 
The Ghost Step works in almost any situation (after a backdash, after a normal move, special move , on wakeup, after a roll, while guarding moves of opponent etc) except when you have a power stock.
 
 
All characters can realize the Ghost Step.
 
 
'''The steps to follow to achieve Ghost Step in combos''' :
 
 
1) You mustn't have a power stock.
 
 
2) You must do any move (normal or special)
 
 
3) During the recovery of move in question, input a forward-ended super move with channelling the button before the end of recovery (a DM move who's present in the movelist of character in question). .
 
 
If i take Iori like example, his DM moves are qcf , hcb + P and qcb , hcf+ P.
 
 
The DM which should be used is qcb , hcf+ P cause this DM move included a forward-ended.
 
 
4) Hold forward and button
 
 
In summary, to succeed the very popular Iori's combo (hcf + P > Ghost Step > C > f + A > (qcf + C) *3) , you must do :
 
 
hcf + P > qcb , hcf + P during recovery of hcf + P > hold forward and P button > stop holding forward and P botton when you're in close contact with the opponent > C > f + A > (qcf + C)*3
 
 
This method is used for all characters.
 
 
- For Iori, there's an other method also, a little simpler to achieve : Instead of doing qcb , hcf+ P to Ghost Step, you can do hcb,f+P (and hold forward and P button) to Ghost Step.
 
 
*If you want to do a ghost step after a backdash, you must input a forward-ended DM move with channelling the button during recovery of backdash sprite.
 
 
*If you want to do a ghost step after guarding moves of opponent, you must input a forward-ended DM move with channelling the button during recovery of guard sprite
 
 
etc etc

Tier Lists from China
<br>
<br>General competitive rules: infinite combos, raw supers and character-floating glitches are not allowed.
Banned over-powerful characters: Orochi, O.Iori, O.Leona. Other hidden characters are usable.
<br>
<br>Character Ranking by Yaotouling Cheshen in 2014, concluded from all available competitive matches by then and supervised by several top Chinese KOF97 players.Each line is sorted in descending order.
<br>
<br>Top: Iori, Chizuru, Chang
<br>High: Yamazaki, Daimon, Mary, Choi, O.Yashiro
<br>Good: Benimaru, Kensou, Kyo, Terry, O.Chris
<br>Middle: Joe, Leona, Athena, Yashiro, Kyo 94, Robert, Clark, Chris, Shermie, Ryo, King, Mai, Ralf, O.Shermie, Kim
<br>Low: Billy, Yuri, Chin, Andy, Shingo

<br>An earlier version made in 2010 can be found here: http://player.youku.com/player.php/sid/XMjYwMDA0ODk2/v.swf
<br>
<br>Notes:
<br>1. If the restrictions on infinite combos and raw supers are lifted, Terry and Yamazaki will be top-tiered. Characters like Benimaru and Mary will be slightly stronger, while characters like Chang and Daimon will be relatively weaker. Reference match: http://player.youku.com/player.php/sid/XOTE4NTMzMjcy/v.swf
<br>2. If no rule is applied, two characters will dominate the game - Orochi and O.Iori. Other characters have negligible influence on the match result. Game will be like this: http://player.youku.com/player.php/sid/XMTQ4NzA4NjE2NA==/v.swf
<br>3. Extra mode is considered inferior to the Advanced mode in KOF97. Thus, tier lists are based on the latter mode only.

The King of Fighters '97 is a 2D fighting game released by SNK in 1997.

Introduction

The 4th Installment of the series,its one of the best games due to the novelty about choose two types of power gauges,the Advanced that is KOF96 style with Evasion and Run but with power stocks for Super Moves,and the Extra that is the KOF95 style about Charge Bar and dashes.

And features a "Boss Team" along with fastest versions of Iori and Leona as first bosses.

Its one of the most "canonical competetive"* ones and specially in China.

  • I define them any KOF outside of a Dream Match like 2000,XI and 13 due to their own features--HanzoHimemiya (talk) 02:47, 15 December 2015 (MSK)
