About The King of Fighters '95

The King of Fighters '95 — Arcade edition
The King of Fighters '95 · Arcade · 1995

The King of Fighters ’95 adds custom team selection to three-on-three fighting and introduces Iori Yagami.

Build your own three-fighter team

KOF ’95 lets you build a team from characters who previously belonged to fixed groups. Choose three fighters and their order, then work through successive one-on-one bouts. Iori Yagami joins the cast as Kyo’s rival. Team editing is the reason to return: you can keep a favourite fighter while changing the other two matchups.

Learning the roster

Use team editing to replace one unfamiliar character at a time. Keeping the other two gives you a useful comparison when a match goes badly. This is an approach to learning the roster, not a claim that one team beats every opponent.

Which KOF rules are you reading?

The King of Fighters ’96 changes the movement system. The Advanced and Extra choice belongs to The King of Fighters ’97; guides built around those styles do not describe this game.

Background and mechanics: Wikipedia game reference.
