King of Fighters

King of Fighters is a Japanese fighting video game series that started by SNK in 1994.

Since the company's collapse in 2000, the game has been under license by another Japanese company, Playmore.

King of Fighters introduced the 3 on 3 "team battle system" to the fighting game genre, along with various other sub-systems as Attack Deflector (Dodging) and Emergency Escape (Rolling) which would later be adopted by Capcom in their Capcom vs SNK series.
