Also when you hover over a character the big character art looks amazing. This mixed with the addicting cursor movement sound that they added in back in 2000 was everything for me lol (it gets annoying when you spam it by moving the cursor non-stop bit if you don't then I think it sounds amazing.). This might be the reason why XIII's select screen looks so damn good too.

I love the fact Rock Howard is in KOF XIV. He’s my favourite SNK Character of all time. Go for it rock!!! However, my biggest gripe with KOF XIV is the lack of “hidden” characters. Why couldn’t Antonov and Verse be not visible or unlockable after you beat the game?
Guest characters? my dude kof is an snk crossover series with og characters in it. and there are far more other SNK characters than the one you just listed
KOF XI has the only roster done right in the entire franchise! Because of the unlockable and exclusive fighters! All the characters have no forced teams and no forced plots while the hidden ones are still playable by fan-service, it even gives the SNK game devs more creative freedom.

It's sad to see how the team "Psycho soldiers" was taking a very low position in the selection of teams / characters. His position should have continued to be the second, I like to see that they had more relevance
The only problem I have with KOF 2003 is where the whole franchise went off-track because of that game. SNK should've focused on the entire Maximum Impact Saga first before moving onto the Ash Saga.

KOF 2001 is pretty strong. Also I believe that at least one of these is in the wrong order. Regulation A comes after 2006. But still very good video.
