The King of Fighters 97 (NGH-2320)

In The King of Fighters 97, mastering the controls is the first step to success. The game uses a standard six - button layout: three punches (light, medium, heavy) and three kicks (light, medium, heavy). To perform basic attacks, simply press the corresponding buttons. For special moves, you need to input specific button combinations along with directional inputs. For example, many characters have a 'Dragon Punch' - type move, which is usually performed by moving the joystick down, then forward, and pressing a punch button. To execute a 'Neo Max' move, you first need to build up your power gauge. This can be done by landing attacks on your opponent or taking damage. Once the gauge is full, you can perform a 'Neo Max' move by inputting a specific combination of buttons. When choosing a team, consider the strengths and weaknesses of each character. Some characters are better at close - range combat, while others excel at long - range attacks. Try to create a balanced team that can cover different aspects of the fight. During the fight, pay attention to your opponent's movements and patterns. Look for openings to launch an attack and be ready to block or counter when your opponent attacks. Use the tag - out system to your advantage. If one of your characters is low on health or in a difficult situation, you can quickly switch to another character. This can catch your opponent off - guard and give you a new opportunity to turn the tide of the battle. Practice is key in this game. Spend time in the training mode to learn each character's moves and combos. Experiment with different team combinations to find the ones that suit your playstyle the best.
