The King of Fighters '94 (ザ・キング・オブ・ファイターズ
This game featured characters from earlier SNK games, such as Fatal Fury, Art of Fighting, Ikari Warriors and Psycho Soldier. It also included new characters such as the Japan Team (or Hero Team) and the USA Team.
The major innovation in KOF '94, comparing to the fighting games at that time, is the 3-on-3 team battle system, where each player uses 3 characters team instead of the 1-on-1 from the other fighting games. So the game roster was divided in teams of 3, each team representing one country.
Since this game is some kind of crossover, the gameplay shares some similarities with SNK's fighting games. Instead of one-on-one fights, the system includes battles between teams of three people in a tag-team fashion. If one of the members is defeated by one of the other team's members, the next member will come in to fight the winner, and will go on until all three members of one team is defeated.
The gameplay utilizes elements from Fatal Fury such as the infinite special moves and Desperate Moves (DM) when your life bar is in the low, and the dash. From Art of Fighting, it borrows the abilities to charge your special meter, and unleash a DM when your special meter is full. KOF 94 also features a sidestep system. By pressing A+B, the player will dodge. When your life bar is flashing red, and your special meter is at max, the player can unleash a super move.
