Time for some more KOF fact, 98 was re-released on the Dreamcast titled "The King Of Fighters: Dream Match 1999" Featuring improved graphics, and arranged soundtrack, and a Neo Geo pocket link option. The arcade intro was also replaced with a brand new fully drawn anime intro, which was awesome.
This particular version was the very first KOF I ever played.
It's what got me in to KOF in the first place, it was even the first game I played that had motions like QCF+P. I sucked back then, I spammed Athena's psycho balls and couldn't even do any of her supers. But I started learning more as time went by.
Athena was my favorite character in those days. (Kensou being my 2nd favorite.) The notsalgia is probably one of the reasons that 98 is my favorite.
One more thing, the soundtrack is fantastic, it's a collaboration of Themes from previous KOFs. 98 had the second best soundtrack in the whole series.
MVP = Athena
Wait, what's that I see? People defending KOF '98 visual department, talking like uneducated farmers? How surprising!

@WyvernSoul32 Good battle stages? Are you serious? Compared to '94, they suck megatons of ass. Visually speaking, it actually looks like KOF94 came out four years after KOF98, not the other way around. These backgrounds are completely uninspired.
