Introduction
The King of Fighters '97 is a 2D fighting game released by SNK in 1997. The 4th Installment of the series, it is regarded as one of the best games due to the novelty of choosing between two types of power gauges that cater to two different playstyles. They are Advanced Mode, the KOF96 style with Evasion and Run but with power stocks for Super Moves, and Extra Mode, the KOF95 style with Charge Bar, dashes, and spot dodges. The game also features a "Boss Team" along with fastest versions of Iori and Leona as the first sub bosses.
Its one of the most "canonically competitive" ones and has especially sparked massive popularity in China, so much so they still play the game to this day on a widely competitive level.
