The designers hoped that she would be accepted as an independent, whip-brandishing character rather than just another member of the Ikari Team. The supervising designer was sweating bullets over this when the design was checked (he feared he'd be accused of slacking off), but in the end the concept was approved without incident. The number of dots used on Whip's whip were reduced to express a feeling of speed and power - a daring method of expression. Since Leona exposes comparatively more skin, Whip sports less revealing but body-hugging fashions that leave a little more to the imagination.

About Whip: The plan was to introduce this character in KOF '96, but since Leona was already a part of the Ikari Team she began her series of appearances in KOF '99. This comic is hard to get your hands on in other parts of the world, but check it out if you have the opportunity.
Makishima, but in a serialized KOF comic that came out in Hong Kong, he, for some reason, became a 'beautiful woman doctor'. Strange how things happen, isn't it? Maxima was originally modified by the male scientist Dr. The designers were initially supposed to design a character that used body slams, but the finished character became a fist-fighter. About Maxima: With the growing influence of teenagers, it seems the concept for Maxima evolved from a desire to introduce a sober and reliable middle-age character (sad state of affairs though when a twenty-something male is referred to as 'middle-aged'). "Garou - Mark of the Wolves" was being developed concomitantly with KOF '99, so the staff learned that MOW's main character (Rock) looked like K' (causing the supervising designer to lose a few pounds from panic). The reason for his hair being bushier than need be may be a reflection of the conditions around him. About K' (K Dash): K' initially sported a slicked back hairstyle, but this was nixed by the powers that be and that's how the 'hairdo' for the hero of the NESTS Chronicles got changed. The Fatal Fury Team music theme is a remixed version of Terry's theme in "Fatal Fury Wild Ambition". 8-way, Weak punch, Weak kick, Strong punch, Strong kick TRIVIA Released on Jin Japan.

The Nintendo Switch port has garnered a similar response, with reviewers finding it modern and praising its gameplay. The Dreamcast port of the game has had a more favorable reception than the PlayStation version thanks to its loading times and graphics. The Neo Geo and Dreamcast versions are both included in The Kings of Fighters NESTS Hen compilation released for the PlayStation 2 in Japan as well as other ports.Ĭritical response to The King of Fighters '99 has generally been positive because of its fighting system and its use of Strikers. SNK had difficulty balancing the age of the characters and teams. The popularity of Kyo's previous incarnations resulted in him being given "clones" that wear his original clothes and perform his moves. SNK had originally planned to remove main characters Kyo Kusanagi and Iori Yagami, who had previously appeared in earlier installments of the series, from The King of Fighters '99, but they ended up as hidden characters instead.
