Speaking of arcade games, I don't know which game comes to mind first?
In an era when everyone was memorizing consecutive moves, it seemed that fighting games were the labels that best represented arcades, and in them, "Street Fighters" and "King of Fighters" were the most representative, especially "King of Fighters 97", although the game was controversial at the time, it is undeniable that it did break the monopoly momentum of "Street Fighter" in the arcade hall and became the next landmark game work.
"King of Fighters 97" is also the peak of the popularity of the entire King of Fighters series, players who come out of the arcade hall are familiar with the characters in the game, and the unknown fire dance, Hachijin-an, Kyo Kusanagi and others have even gone out of the circle and become a veritable game star role. As the popularity continues to rise, players also silently give these characters a ranking according to their intensity, and unlike the popularity they have, this time Kusanagi Kyo did not even make the list.
TOP5: Goro Daimon
Daimon Goro is a character that is easily overlooked, and although many masters love him, his popularity is far less than that of the few people just mentioned. And many players will classify Daimongoro as one of the "Little Five" and be squeezed out by Ryuji Yamazaki. In fact, The Gate Goro has a high attack power and defense power, the rolling distance is also farther than the general character because of the size, as long as the successful close-up, all kinds of throwing machines, throwing skills directly greeted, can completely hit the opposite side without any strength. And Daimon Goro's ground is still a full-screen attack, even if the enemy can dodge by jumping, but compared to other characters, this move is still too domineering.
TOP4: Chen Guohan
Chen Guohan is also a character who exploded with "King of Fighters 97", and his huge body size and rough appearance make this fat man with an iron ball a major feature of the game. In addition to the impact of appearance, Chen Guohan's offensive style is also very impactful, whether it is picking up the iron ball as a "man with a horse", or holding the ball before pouncing, which makes some new players quite headache. The extreme range of punches also makes Chen Guohan seem to have an extra barrier, allowing him to have a battle when facing all melee characters.
TOP3: Cai Baojian
At first, many people did not like this obscene-looking "little monkey", but in fact, after the hand, they found that this outrageous little man with sunglasses and "fingernails" was actually a BUG-like existence. Cai Baojian's movement speed is undoubtedly the highest in "King of Fighters 97", the speed of recruiting moves is also clean and clean, and his defense value is very high, and the opponent is almost overwhelmed by a set of consecutive moves in the corner. However, the most eye-catching thing is his almost incomprehensible flexibility, one-handed drilling skills can be both against the air and the ground, and the variability of moves is difficult to predict, which makes Cai Baojian a difficult party to be suppressed in the battle.
TOP2: Hachijin-an
Hachijin-an is recognized as one of the most powerful and perfect characters, he has all the advantages of the above-mentioned characters, and long-range fixation, burst control, combo bursts are all available, there are almost no flashy moves, coupled with its own faster gas collection speed, the frequency of must-kill release is also very high. Overall, Hachijin is one of the most impeccable fighters by design, and even if the King of Fighters has introduced many new and powerful characters, Hachijin can still fight these new characters without falling behind, and even easily defeat opponents with a crushing posture.
TOP1: Kagura Chizuru
Kagura Chizuru and Hachijin belong to the same level, strictly speaking, the two do not have a before and after distinction, but in the real high play hands, Kagura Chizuru can play out the upper limit of the operation is much higher than the Hachijin-an, Kagura Chizuru's true and false body with the blessing of the "mosaic" picture quality at that time is particularly elusive, and a variety of breakthrough methods can also be caught off guard, in other words, if defeated in the hands of Kagura Chizuru, in addition to the strength of the character, to a large extent, the player himself is really blind, Having lost the conviction to fight, I just want to end this painful match as soon as possible.
In the eyes of many people, the five strongest of the boxing king is always the "two gods and three beasts" of the set of sayings, Yamazaki Ryuji's voice is obviously higher than the gate goro, but the role of Yamazaki Ryuji requires the player's techniques to be too high, a slight mistake by the gate to catch a LanZhishan is half a tube of blood, many moves will be restrained by the gate, so the popularity gradually declined. Even the player "Bao Wang", who once liked to use Dragon II, changed to the gate, and the sentence after his substitution, "The gate of the three qi is not afraid of anyone." It also seems to say the true meaning that Daimon Goro can now rank among the top five.
I wonder if your strength ranking of the 29 regular characters in "King of Fighters 97" is still stuck in the 2011 ranking of the well-known King of Fighters blogger "Shaking Head Ridge Car God"? Now that ten years have passed, perhaps the game has long lost the strongest character, only the strongest player, holding their own role and constantly refreshing the upper limit of operation. Do you have a sharper view of the strength of the characters in King of Fighters 97? Feel free to leave a message in the comment area to share your views
