      Sort of. The MVS cabs had updates to them over the years that added things like more RAM, and that would cap to the new games (old game carts would be comparable to the new system, but not visa versa) to those units.

    By this point they really knew how to squeeze as much as possible from that hardware, the graphical tricks they pulled off with 2003 are pretty impressive, specially if you play it on a CRT like it was designed for. I remember back in the day trying to figure out how they did transparencies on a Neo Geo, then I read that it was actually a quickly flickering dithering patterns taking advantage of the color persistence of a CRT monitor.

    the other boss you fight in this game is adelheid bernstein who is rugal's son and fights like an inferior version of him e.g. rugal's special moves are adelheid's supers. This is the only game where the ikari warriors are the canonical winners of kof
    maki is chizuru's deceased sister. I think if you play as chizuru in one of the previous games instead of fighting chizuru you fight maki instead. Gameplaywise shes a superior chizuru. Chizuru's clones can be hit to damage her. Maki's clones act like true projectiles and can't be used to hurt her at all
    These games had the real shatter all expectations in terms of teams, especially 11 where they said fuck it and went crazy putting the teams together.

    I always thought this game was unique because the main protagonist team didn't actually win the tournament but instead it was team Ikari it's pretty cool that there's 3 main stories that play out in this game with Team ash, Team sacred treasures and team Ikari two of which still plays a factor in the main plot KOF to this day

    @rockhyde7775 2 роки тому

    Feels like an actual boss fight (3 vs. 1) when the opponent has three life bars! It’s not often in fighting games boss characters have a different life bar from you because most fighters even the boss has the same life bar and power bar (sometimes don’t like Onslaught or Abyss but his power gauge displays but stays empty throughout the entire battle) you do. Apocalypse (his HP gauge displayed on the bottom of the screen), Galactus and Ultron Sigma (who have vertical health gauges, you don’t see that every day) are the exceptions however. You all know what health bars and power gauges are shaped like, right? Rectangles, popsicle sticks, indented rectangles (or parallelogram, is that what they’re called?) like the Wii banner and of course, parallelograms. The colours appear to be yellow, green (an appropriate colour for health bars imo), blue (which works for power bars imo) and sometimes red or whatever other colour they may be. We all know most of the time health bars are displayed on the top of the screen whereas power meters are sometimes below the vitality meter but most of the time it seems on the bottom of the screen along with what power level the character is on. Why does nobody seem to explain this?

    Side note, the largest Neo Geo games were 708 Megs running on the Giga Power software, which were Metal Slug 3 and 5, SamSho 5 and 5 special, and SvC Chaos. These were absolutely pushing the limits of some pretty old hardware than ran stuff from 1990, but SNK somehow managed to make KoF 2003 with 716 Megs, making it the largest and only one of it's size. The game itself even looks stupidly good on Neo Geo hardware, and they somehow made a 3v3 tag game with these limits.

      Technically, it's 716 megaBITS, not MegaBYTES, as none of the cartridge-based consoles of the 90s actually used MB for measurement, but rather Mb. So KOF 2003 was actually 89.5 Megabytes, though that's still massively larger than anything ever released on something like the Genesis or Super Nintendo, as even the more recent homebrew games (like Pier Solar or Paprium) are still nowhere near as large as what these late Neo Geo games were.
      Hell, even the N64 never went this big, as its limit was 512 Mb, or just 64 MB. Yes, KOF 2003 is larger than the N64 version of Resident Evil 2!

    You forgot to watch the team sacred treasures ending. Ash steals the Yata mirror from Chizuru. Also, a complaint I here about 2003 is that the audio feedback is dull, which I don't think that personally. However, when I played it on ACA Neo Geo for Switch, it seems that the Audio slightly delayed to me. It might just be me or something on the emulator's end. Aside from that, I think that 2003 is a Solid Tag Team Fighter.

    I'm a bit biased since this was the one that introduced me to the series, but this is one of my favourite KOF games, and really underrated. People usually rank this one towards the bottom of the series (like in the bottom 3 with 2001 and XII). It has such a unique aesthetic and presentation, and it has my fave intro of the entire series. Plus it brought back Chizuru after she was absent for the entire NESTS saga (even though she was pretty weak compared to her 1998 incarnation). It also introduced Malin, Shen Woo and Duo Lon who I really wish would come back for XV. I also loved there being two possible bosses and Maki being brought back from the dead as a puppet was a cool twist.
