THE KING OF FIGHTERS 2000

Not worth the trouble. Controls are bafflingly bad and only listed for the keyboard. They don't even match what is shown. If you have a controller plugged in it only works during battle and PART of navigating the menus. And 15 seconds for selection of four characters across a roster of 36? There's no way that anyone involved in porting this actually tried to play it.

the emulator doesn't let you change the control scheme, and it outright lies to you about what buttons do what functions, the game says Q W X and C are your controls, but when you get into an actual match (whether you're using a joystick with keyboard mappings or your actual keyboard) you'll find INSTANTLY that those controls are not true. A is weak kick, Z is weak punch, X is heavy kick, and C is heavy punch. I don't know how ANYONE was expected EVER play this with a keyboard. There is also delay on input, nothing too terrible, until you remember that this series is SNK and SNK LOVES to make their Ai ridiculously hard, so having a delay means you need to think 4 steps ahead. TLDR; Don't buy it here unless you are OK troubleshooting some annoying controller layout things

For the controller i recomend to use JoyToKey to configurate the keyboard, as one with an xbox one control. Good with the graphics. The best game of kof series! But a real shame that you cant configurate almost nothing...

Unlike KOF 98 UMFE, 2002 UM, or XIII Galaxy edition, this did not work out of the box with my Hori Real Arcade Pro 3. You'll need an external keybinding tool to fix it. It also has a problem with running way too fast on monitors higher than 60Hz, which you can solve with enabling vsync or lowering your refresh rate (but who does that?) Game itself is fine but this is by far the worst port out of the four games listed in my review.
