Gameplay Systems
The gameplay does not differ much from the previous game, KOF '97 . Like in KOF '97 , the player has a choice between two playing styles: Advance and Extra, with a few slight modifications to Advanced mode (unlike in KOF '97 , the character will resume to normal if the player performs a Super Special Move in MAX state). This time when one character loses a round, the losing team is given a handicap in its favor. In Advanced mode, this means that the player ' s stock capacity for Power Gauges is increased by one. In Extra mode, the time it takes to charge one ' s power gauge to maximum level is shortened, and the maximum remaining health requirement for a MAX Super Special Move is increased.
