My only complaint with KOF 2002, is that you only get 15 seconds to pick THREE CHARACTERS. Like at this point were the KOF fans supposed to know 90% of the roster? It's just crazy that they flash you with like 50 characters and you only get 5 seconds to pick one at a time.
“Like at this point were the KOF fans supposed to know 90% of the roster?” Uh yeah lol?? No new characters were introduced in this game and a majority of the roster are KOF mainstays anyways
@@gaupau That alone is very impressive in itself. The Neo Geo didn't start showing its age until around 1998/1999. This is a system that released in 1990. I play KOF98 and SvC Chaos on my consolized MVS and it's a blast!
I had the Sega Dreamcast version of KOF2002 and now have the PC port for Linux. Both look and play very much like the arcade. The PS2 release is good, took minor liberties with anti-aliasing (smoothing the edges of graphics). To this day I still play KOF2002 on Linux.
as a Street Fighter player... is KOF "deep" enough? i mean i see there are overheads, low hits, super attacks and a special for each character but is there something like focus attack from street fighter 4 or a parry system or something like that? i really want to learn and play KOF but as a newbie i don't see what makes KOF so special, even though i am really interested in the series. thanks in advance for your answers
There’s nothing special about these games bro (well at least early ones) … no parry systems nothing … i never understood the hype either and keep in mind this came out in 2002 … we were getting games like street fighter 3rd strike in 1999
It's deep, just not for the same reasons SF is. Guard cancels are probably the closest things you get to parries and focus. They work similarly as defensive options that can lead into a big punish By far the biggest factor is team composition. In KOF, you have to pick at least 3 characters, and this goes a long way into turning it into an experience with lots of depth. There's also a mechanic where your health bar heals more the faster you complete rounds, which has more strategy than you might think. It ain't Street Fighter though. It's far more rushdown oriented, older entries are notorious for having multiple different characters which will destroy everyone else in the entire game, thus earning them tournament bans, you generally don't play footsies that much, and least important, but somewhat relevant, is the fact that it's 4 buttons instead of 6. So I'd say KOF is full of depth, and it's absolutely worth checking out if you're getting bored of traditional SF.
@Zontar82 Yea I heard that they actually released the game prematurely due to deadline pressures or something like that, but the graphics; the amount of detail on the character sprites is probably unprecedented, literally, even to games that are praised on their graphics, like Guitly Gear, Blaz-Blue, Act Cadenza (never played melty blood), but NONE of them really deserve more graphical acclaim than Daraku IMO. It all comes down to commercial exposure. I think that half explains it
Everyone says its hard to defeat Rugal, hes a sucker for jumping(backwards that is) then he usually does hes genocide cutter combo just roll through it until you've reached hes backside, then its combo time(I use kyo he has an awesome juggle combo or kim and crystal combo the crap out of rugal).
Another one of my personal favourites, also the most played on a home system. I used Andy, Leona and Benimaru the most iirc. Good times. And the HDSMs are awesome!
@Zontar82 I've got all of them, and I think although its one of the best 2D fighter series out there, they sorta milked the franchise by releasing a new one every year, and not much difference between any of them. A couple of new characters and some new stages, but they re-use the same old sprites. Man I remember introducing my mates to these games though, we used to rinse it hardcore! I always loved the attention to detail in KOF, only surpassed by SFIII and Daraku Tenshi etc.
Darkstalkers vs The King Of Fighters, Morrigan vs Kyo, Felicia vs Iori, Lilith vs Shingo, Demitri vs Saysiu, Hsien-Ko vs K', Mei Ling vs Kula, Pyron vs Rugal.
pensar que yo lo jugaba en un lugar que se llamaba los vídeos del gordo la ficha salía 25 centavos siempre había retadores se vivía jugando vs era por el prestigio, cómo se cuidaban esas fichas también cuando jugabas contra la máquina
I remember there was this older version where 1 kick equaled half of your Hp. And Rugal also has this one attack where he constantly throws balls fo death at you, initially killing you.
Just got this for ps2. Cant do special moves! :(. Wont register. Actually have the same problem on Emulators for the arcade version....seems like i am the only one in the world with this problem. No problem in other KOF games :(

If you truly know your mains then It isnt a problem
You had to choose 3 roulettes
you only had 15 seconds because this was an arcade game, but yeah they could've added more time in the other versions xd but anyways, one get used ^×^

#1 México arcade hit!!
Giovanni Colio I’m from Mexico and this was my favorite game back then

also metal slug cant forget about that one too SNK was the shit back in the 2000s no CAP
@@miguelsvjr7405 is ppp
you got that right, when your jefa sends to get tortillas and you play with the change. then you come back home with cold tortillas.
I think this was my first ever Arcade game :')
Good memories, can't wait any longer for KoFXIV!!!
I think this is the best KOF game. One of the best fighting games ever. Top 5 definitely.
My favorite is 2002 unlimited match
I agree 100%!2002 and 98:Ultimate Match are my favorites.
KOF2002 is my all time fave KOF games, with KOF98 coming in a close 2nd.
@@sladejosephwilson2300 for me KOF 2002 is far better than Blazblue Cross Tag Battle.
I disagree, this is far from being the best kof game
This is such a HUGE improvement from 2001, just compare the backgrounds between 2001 and 2002, it's like night and day!
@Vegeta Super Saiyan Elite keep in mind these games were still releasing on the neo geo hardware from 1990
@Vegeta Super Saiyan Elite even compared to Guilty Gear X and XX.

@Vegeta Super Saiyan Elite who cares
Vice just died from being hit by glasses.
Watching Terry in this makes me realize how faithful Sakurai was to hit moveset
First Video Game i ever played,Memories at the Arcade.
i know its something small, but i miss seeing your team members cheering you on in the background like they did in the earlier versions of kof
I agree with you
Wow! the real time lighting effects when the time of day changes.
This brings back a lot of memories. :)
This is my favortie KOF. The Gameplay is awesome and so many characters to choose from. The only negative point are the stages.
A good KOF game and way better then 2001 and 2003.
Kof 2002 is a masterpiece in mexico
I'm going to download this game for the Switch Eshop.
this will always be my favorite arcade game.
Junto con Tekken Tag, Kof 2002 el rey del arcade Boliviano🇧🇴
Tiempos Que nunca volveran the king of figters 2002 my best game
I love how Rock runs to Terry’s side in his win animation
Rock Howard
18"08 : Rock Howard and Kogoro Daimon !KOF 2002 : the last game of KOF where you can play K9999 !!!
My first game in the series, still preety good.
Good thing KOF 2002 improved a lot compared to KOF 14.
K':go away,i don't fight a ladies
Terry :pay attention!!
Kyo : you're out of your element,big guy
from mxico stage we can see rock near and talking with king from background
Sundays at the Laundromat, begging my mother to give me quarters to play this.. losing almost every round but I enjoyed every second of it😮💨
Wow my childhood :')
My favorite one out of all of them!!!
I'm always a sucker in cancel combos but overall it's one of the best fighting games out there, hack versions are really dope too
LOL at the ending credits animations!
how many times rugal has to explode for him to stay dead?
His favorite hobby is called resurrection duh
He must be best buddies with Wild Dog because they both do the same thing!
I don’t wanna be a buzzkill but rugal actually died in KOF 95 haha. The games after he’s appeared in are dream matches.
2021😂😂💙✌
I Remembered Playing This before When How Was 2 Years Old
those first six seconds used to be one of the banes of my life.
and i still resent them nixing King from this game.

+Usama Zahid lol yeah the blowing up in his ship or plane is just in the bernstein blood from 94 till 2002.
I own Rugal big time with Billy,Robert and Seth.When he does his Genocide Cutter then it's time to counter-attack!

Otro gran juego despues del flojo kof 2001 el kof 2002 se parece un poco al kof 98 el cual es mi favorito
someone had a lot of fun with that ending
knew this game but never got to play it.
They screwed up not having King in the game.
Play the PS2 and original Xbox versions, they added King, Geese, Goenitz, and Shingo.
