The King of Fighters 2002

A 3-on-3 team fighter where you pick three characters and cycle through them as each falls. The Free Cancel System lets you chain normal moves into special attacks mid-combo, while Max Mode amps your damage output when activated. Quick Emergency Evasion gives you a fast defensive roll to escape pressure. Each character's special moves got tweaked from earlier entries—different startup frames, altered hitboxes, changed recovery times. You're managing meter for both defensive escapes and offensive Max Mode bursts. It's about reading your opponent's patterns and knowing when to burn resources for a comeback. Fans of technical fighters who memorize frame data will find plenty to lab.
