Kings of Fighter

As the first original KOF title for the PlayStation 2, "King of Fighters: Maximum Impact" coverts a classic 2D fighting series to 3D arenas featuring more than 20 of the most popular SNK hand-to-hand combatants all over the world. This title combines all of the great gameplay of the 2D KOF series, with newly added features that are exclusively designed for its transition into 3D.

Only the combatant is featured on screen during fighting

3-on-3 Combat
"King of Fighters: Maximum Impact" brings to its hardcore fans a 3-on-3 tag team battle that requires you to team up 3 characters before the game starts. During the fight, only one combatant will be seen. Once he or she is knocked down, the other two will take turn and continue the battle inheriting the combo attacks left by the previous teammates. This gameplay would undoubtedly be a piece of good news for both novices and veterans.

Don't let your defense bar empty!

System 1: Defense Bar
From the screenshot on the left you can see a blue defense bar at the bottom in addition to the energy bar on the top. The blue bar decreases when you ward off an attack. If it runs out, you will become vulnerable to any strikes. So keep an eye on the defense bar and preserve it by applying urgent sidesteps or moving up and down.

"Stylish Arts" repeated smashes come when pressing light and heavy punches together

System 2: Stylish Arts
Also, pressing your control pad up or down while pressing light punch and light kick will let you sidestep along a 3D axis and exercise a "Stylish Arts" repeated smashes, just like what the screenshot shows. Not only will your opponent fall a prey to you but also suffer from serious damage.
