Dream Match Never Ends For This Tournament Favorite
2021 is the year of SNK, and The King of Fighters is thriving. KOF 2002 Unlimited Match has finally gotten its PS4 port alongside a graphical overhaul and redesigned abilities. This classic title boasts a cast of 66 playable characters–the largest cast of any KOF game to date–including the non-canon character Nameless who appeared in the original KOF 2002. Yes, that is his actual name, which isn’t that much more confusing than K’ being pronounced ‘kay-dash.’ The game also features much smoother online functionality thanks to the addition of rollback netcode, so online matches and new online features will be more convenient than ever.
New online features include:
◆ ROLLBACK NETCODE
KOF 2002 UM features updated rollback netcode that greatly reduces online lag during matches. Players are able to tweak settings in order to improve their online experiences.
◆ QOL ONLINE VERSUS FEATURES
KOF 2002 UM includes online features that allow players to study their matches and learn from their mistakes. These include the ability to rewatch one’s 10 most recent online matches, options that enable win/loss counters, and cooldowns to prevent rematching after a quick bout.
◆ 2 UNIQUE ONLINE MODES
Choose between “Rank Match,” where battle results are shared and ranked online, and “Player Match,” where fans can set their own versus battle settings. Fight to become the true King of Players on the international stage! The world is yours!
If that’s not enough to win you over, check out the game’s other tune-ups and enhancements:
◆ REARRANGED GRAPHICS AND BGM
Every demo screen, cutscene, and winning screen has been completely overhauled. Furthermore, the game’s soundtrack has been remastered for even more intense matches.
◆ NUMEROUS NEW AND OLD MOVES ADDED
Along with the new moves and special moves specially created for this title, plenty of old moves return in KOF 2002 UM. Moreover, the game’s mechanics and characters’ abilities have been redesigned.
◆ LARGE UPGRADE OF MAX MODE AND MAX2
All the Desperation Moves in KOF 2002 UM can now be cancelled anytime via the “MAX Mode” system. The “MAX 2” ultimate moves are even more flashy and easier to use.
Sounds like a recipe for one great fighting game to us!
