"Tactical
Leader System" which sets up a leader favorably
treated in capability in a team and "Multi-Shift"
in which player characters can be changed
freely during 3on3 battle have been adopted.
Speedy game play by the character arbitrary-shift
has been realized.
After "OROCHI" and "NESTS" sagas, a brand
new chapter has begun with the appearance
of new hero "ASH".

The
fighting competition of the highest
standards, on the greatest scale
in the world -
"The King of Fighters."
Here on this stage Rugal was defeated, the Orochi were
contained and sealed away, and the mighty conglomerate
NESTS was taken down.
A myriad of unfolding dramas.
Yet these were always hidden behind some sort of thick
veil or other, remaining out of the public eye.
Even with such a checkered history, the opening of
this year¼¾¼Łs King of Fighters was decided on.
The sponsor of the competition was, yet again, a mysterious
personage, and owing to the circumstances, various
suppositions traveled through assorted lands like wildfire.
But in spite of all the hubbub, one veteran contestant
after another made their intentions to enter the competition
known.
Upon verification that numerous well-known fighters
had entered the competition, the heretofore discreet
media coverage of the event shifted into 24/7 overdrive.
With the announcement of the inception from this KOF
tournament of the new "multi-shift" rule,
allowing competitors to freely tag off during battles,
the competition developed into a social phenomenon
and monopolized discussions around the world.
Newspapers and magazines put together feature articles
almost on a weekly basis while ersatz critics pounded
their desks and made impassioned commentary on TV day
after day about this rule, which simultaneously required
a speedy execution of the match and a unified team
strategy.
"There is still an awesome bunch of fearsome contestants
in this world."
Gato, Tizoc, Duo Lon, Shen Woo.
...and Ash Crimson.
What made their names more and more familiar via the
Internet was, without doubt, this moment of uproar
concerning the present KOF.
Will these contestants be able to become the new stars
capable of shaking up the KOF tournament?
Or maybe...?
And during these crazy days, the preparations steadily
went along.
The venues of local competitions were determined, the
schedules were completed, and the spectators moved
from one location of the preliminary matches to another.
To create the atmosphere of a true street fight, venues
were established in city centers, the events of the
competition were broadcasted live on giant screens,
and various stadiums scaled to hold tens of thousands
of people were procured in cities throughout the world
during the period of the tournament.
December, 2003.
The time has come.
This year, the curtain rises once again. |
