| − | + | The game is an enhanced version of ''The King of Fighters '99'', the sixth installment in ''[[:Category:The King of Fighters|The King of Fighters]]'' series. It introduces a new story arc called the "NESTS Chronicles," centered around a young man named K' and a mysterious organization known as NESTS, and it modifies some of the core mechanics of the game, most notably by introducing special assist characters called "Strikers." The two selectable fighting styles, Advanced and Extra, from ''[[The King of Fighters '97]]'' and ''[[The King of Fighters: Dream Match 1999|The King of Fighters '98]]'' were removed. Evasive rolls were replaced with a slide maneuver. Instead, the game has a single playstyle modeled after the Advanced mode, with two powered-up states (Counter Mode and Armor Mode) that the player can choose during battle depending on the button combination used. The Dreamcast port remakes the stages in 3D and adds two additional stages, and it also adds numerous "Extra Striker" characters that are unlocked by playing the game. | |
| + | |||
| + | Instead of the three-character teams from earlier games, each team now has four members. Before a match, the player chooses three characters to use in the fights and one supporting character called the Striker, who can be summoned during battle to perform a special move and leave. Each match is a three-on-three elimination match, where the next member of the team takes the place of the last one in the next round when a team member is defeated. The victorious character continues to the next round with a small portion of health restored (more health is restored if the round is completed faster). The match continues until all of the members of a team are eliminated. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Characters move with {{left}} and {{right}} and crouch with {{down}}. They backstep or run with {{left}} {{left}} or {{right}} {{right}}. They jump upward with {{up}} and jump behind and ahead with {{upleft}} or {{upright}}. They can perform short hops by pressing {{upleft}}, {{up}}, or {{upright}}, followed by {{down}} quickly. They can "super jump" (a faster and farther jump, trailed by afterimages) by pressing {{down}}, then {{upleft}} or {{upright}} quickly. Characters can perform a weak punch with {{X}}, a strong punch with {{Y}}, a weak kick with {{A}}, or a strong kick with {{B}}. Each character has a set of basic, unique, and special moves that can be performed by the player with a specific series of button inputs. Characters have knockdown attacks, which knock the opponent over, that are performed with {{Y}}+{{B}}. This can be done while standing or jumping. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The fourth member of the team, the Striker, can be called for a special attack with {{Y}}+{{B}} (or {{L}}) when standing still. The special move performed varies by character. Most are offensive attacks, but some restore some health, build the character's power gauge, decrease the opponent's power gauge, or hold the opponent in place for an attack. Strikers can only be summoned a limited number of times during a match, which is determined by the number of "Strike Bombs" at the bottom of the screen. The starting number of Strike Bombs is three per player by default, but this can be changed in the options. A team gains another Strike Bomb after losing a round. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Characters can become dizzy from being attacked repeatedly; they are uncontrollable and vulnerable in this state but can recover more quickly by rapidly pressing back and forth on the D-Pad along with the attack buttons. They can perform an evasive slide with {{X}}+{{A}} to slide forwards or {{left}}+{{X}}+{{A}} to slide backwards (or {{right}}+{{X}}+{{A}} when facing left). They are invulnerable during the slide and can move through opponents when they are close. Pressing any punch or kick button during a slide causes the character to perform a quick, short-ranged counterattack when coming out of the slide. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Blocking can be done by holding the D-Pad in the opposite direction of the opponent. Low attacks must be blocked crouching, while high attacks (including most jumping attacks) must be blocked standing. Special moves still do partial damage when blocked. Characters can also block special moves and aerial attacks (but not grounded normal moves or Desperation moves) in midair from a neutral or backwards jump (but not a forwards jump). While blocking, characters can guard cancel into a slide by pressing {{X}}+{{A}} or guard cancel into a counterattack by pressing {{Y}}+{{B}}. Guard cancels cost a stock of the power gauge. Throws can be performed by holding {{left}} or {{right}} and pressing a strong punch or kick button when next to the opponent. Different characters have different throws available to them. Throws cannot be blocked, but they can be escaped by pressing {{X}}+{{A}} at the start of the grab. Characters can also recover from a knockdown and roll away quickly by pressing {{X}}+{{A}} upon landing. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The power gauge is filled by attacking the opponent with normal attacks (but not throws) or by performing special moves (regardless of whether they connect with the opponent). When the gauge is filled, it is kept in stock and reset, up to three times. A character can use one stock of the gauge to perform a Desperation move or three stocks to enter one of two special states, Counter Mode or Armor Mode. Counter Mode is entered by pressing {{X}}+{{Y}}+{{A}} and increases the character's attack damage and allows for unlimited use of Desperation moves and guard cancels, but the character cannot perform Super Desperation moves, even if the health gauge is low and flashing, during this state. Some special moves can be canceled into Desperation moves while in Counter Mode. Armor Mode is entered by pressing {{Y}}+{{A}}+{{B}} and increases the character's defensive strength and enables the character to continue attacking even when attacked, but the character cannot perform a Desperation move or a guard cancel during this state. Characters can perform unlimited Desperation moves when the health gauge is low and flashing or a Super Desperation move when the health gauge is low and flashing for one stock of the gauge. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Characters can taunt with {{R}}, which is a short animation during which the character is vulnerable to attack. Taunting an opponent can reduce their power gauge, slow down their manual charging, and stop them from reaching the maximum level. | ||

The King of Fighters: Evolution, known as The King of Fighters '99 Evolution (ザ・キングオブファイターズ'99 エヴォリューション) in Japan, is based off the Neo Geo arcade version of The King of Fighters '99: Millennium Battle. First released in Japan on March 2000, the game did not see an American release until May 2001. Like its predecessor, the game was not released in Europe.
Contents
Story
Two years have passed since the last King of Fighters tournament. Nobody has seen Kyo Kusanagi or Iori Yagami since they defeated the evil being Orochi at the climax of The King of Fighters '97. Invitations are sent to many characters inviting them to a new tournament, which this time around is more of a secretive affair and less of a public spectacle than the past few tournaments. However, the tournament's host remains a mystery.
The King of Fighters '99 is the first game in the story arc that would become known as the "NESTS Chronicles."
Gameplay
Character select
The game is an enhanced version of The King of Fighters '99, the sixth installment in The King of Fighters series. It introduces a new story arc called the "NESTS Chronicles," centered around a young man named K' and a mysterious organization known as NESTS, and it modifies some of the core mechanics of the game, most notably by introducing special assist characters called "Strikers." The two selectable fighting styles, Advanced and Extra, from The King of Fighters '97 and The King of Fighters '98 were removed. Evasive rolls were replaced with a slide maneuver. Instead, the game has a single playstyle modeled after the Advanced mode, with two powered-up states (Counter Mode and Armor Mode) that the player can choose during battle depending on the button combination used. The Dreamcast port remakes the stages in 3D and adds two additional stages, and it also adds numerous "Extra Striker" characters that are unlocked by playing the game.
Instead of the three-character teams from earlier games, each team now has four members. Before a match, the player chooses three characters to use in the fights and one supporting character called the Striker, who can be summoned during battle to perform a special move and leave. Each match is a three-on-three elimination match, where the next member of the team takes the place of the last one in the next round when a team member is defeated. The victorious character continues to the next round with a small portion of health restored (more health is restored if the round is completed faster). The match continues until all of the members of a team are eliminated.
Characters move with 
and 
and crouch with 
. They backstep or run with or . They jump upward with 
and jump behind and ahead with 
or 
. They can perform short hops by pressing , , or , followed by quickly. They can "super jump" (a faster and farther jump, trailed by afterimages) by pressing , then or quickly. Characters can perform a weak punch with 
, a strong punch with 
, a weak kick with 
, or a strong kick with 
. Each character has a set of basic, unique, and special moves that can be performed by the player with a specific series of button inputs. Characters have knockdown attacks, which knock the opponent over, that are performed with +. This can be done while standing or jumping.
The fourth member of the team, the Striker, can be called for a special attack with + (or 
) when standing still. The special move performed varies by character. Most are offensive attacks, but some restore some health, build the character's power gauge, decrease the opponent's power gauge, or hold the opponent in place for an attack. Strikers can only be summoned a limited number of times during a match, which is determined by the number of "Strike Bombs" at the bottom of the screen. The starting number of Strike Bombs is three per player by default, but this can be changed in the options. A team gains another Strike Bomb after losing a round.
Characters can become dizzy from being attacked repeatedly; they are uncontrollable and vulnerable in this state but can recover more quickly by rapidly pressing back and forth on the D-Pad along with the attack buttons. They can perform an evasive slide with + to slide forwards or ++ to slide backwards (or ++ when facing left). They are invulnerable during the slide and can move through opponents when they are close. Pressing any punch or kick button during a slide causes the character to perform a quick, short-ranged counterattack when coming out of the slide.
Blocking can be done by holding the D-Pad in the opposite direction of the opponent. Low attacks must be blocked crouching, while high attacks (including most jumping attacks) must be blocked standing. Special moves still do partial damage when blocked. Characters can also block special moves and aerial attacks (but not grounded normal moves or Desperation moves) in midair from a neutral or backwards jump (but not a forwards jump). While blocking, characters can guard cancel into a slide by pressing + or guard cancel into a counterattack by pressing +. Guard cancels cost a stock of the power gauge. Throws can be performed by holding or and pressing a strong punch or kick button when next to the opponent. Different characters have different throws available to them. Throws cannot be blocked, but they can be escaped by pressing + at the start of the grab. Characters can also recover from a knockdown and roll away quickly by pressing + upon landing.
The power gauge is filled by attacking the opponent with normal attacks (but not throws) or by performing special moves (regardless of whether they connect with the opponent). When the gauge is filled, it is kept in stock and reset, up to three times. A character can use one stock of the gauge to perform a Desperation move or three stocks to enter one of two special states, Counter Mode or Armor Mode. Counter Mode is entered by pressing ++ and increases the character's attack damage and allows for unlimited use of Desperation moves and guard cancels, but the character cannot perform Super Desperation moves, even if the health gauge is low and flashing, during this state. Some special moves can be canceled into Desperation moves while in Counter Mode. Armor Mode is entered by pressing ++ and increases the character's defensive strength and enables the character to continue attacking even when attacked, but the character cannot perform a Desperation move or a guard cancel during this state. Characters can perform unlimited Desperation moves when the health gauge is low and flashing or a Super Desperation move when the health gauge is low and flashing for one stock of the gauge.
Characters can taunt with 
, which is a short animation during which the character is vulnerable to attack. Taunting an opponent can reduce their power gauge, slow down their manual charging, and stop them from reaching the maximum level.
Modes
Continue bonus
The game has multiple modes. In any of the single-player modes, the player earns Ability Points after each match, depending on the score attained during the battle. Ability Points are aggregated and can be used to purchase Extra Strikers. In the arcade modes, the player can unlock a secret boss fight after the final boss depending on the number of Ability Points earned during the playthrough. Iori Yagami is fought if the player acquires between 200 and 279 Ability Points, and Kyo Kusanagi is fought if the player earns 280 or more Ability Points.
- Team Play: A single-player mode where the player forms a team of four characters and fights three-on-three elimination matches against five randomly selected teams, then two matches against the final boss Krizalid (who has two forms), for a total of 7 matches. Before each match, the player chooses three characters to play and one character to use as a Striker. This is the main mode.
- Team Vs.: A two-player mode where each player forms a team of four characters and fights a three-on-three elimination match. Before the match, the players choose three characters to play and one character to use as a Striker. Players can choose a different team after each match.
- Single Play: A single-player mode where the player chooses two characters and fights one-on-one matches against five individual opponents, then two matches against the final boss Krizalid (who has two forms), for a total of 7 matches. Before each match, the player chooses which character to play and which to use as a Striker. Matches are fought to the best of three rounds.

Matches consist of a single round. Unlike the Single Play mode, the player cannot switch the roles of the two selected characters before each fight. The character does not have any health restored between matches aside from the amount partially restored after each round (depending on the player's performance). The game is timed, and the player's best completion times are saved to a VMU.
- Survival (Endless): A single-player mode where the player chooses two characters, one to play and one to use as a Striker, and fights one-on-one matches against an endless series of randomly selected opponents. Matches consist of a single round, and the game keeps track of the number of matches won. Unlike the Single Play mode, the player cannot switch the roles of the two selected characters before each fight. The character does not have any health restored between matches aside from the amount partially restored after each round (depending on the player's performance). The game continues until the player loses, and the player's highest number of opponents defeated is saved to a VMU.
- Single All: A single-player mode where the player chooses two characters and fights one-on-one matches against every character in the game, ending with two matches against the final boss Krizalid (who has two forms), for a total of 33 matches. Matches consist of a single round, and the game shows the number of opponents remaining. Unlike the Single Play mode, the player cannot switch the roles of the two selected characters before each fight.
- Practice: A training mode where the player can choose any character and any opponent. There are options to set the behavior of the opponent (stand, jump, or crouch) and whether the opponent attacks, counters, or guards. There is no time limit, the power gauge is permanently charged (with an option to put the character's health in the red flashing zone), and the opponent has infinite health. Taunting causes the opponent to walk forward.
- Neo Geo Pocket: The Japanese version of the game is compatible with the Neo Geo Pocket/Dreamcast Setsuzoku Cable and connects to The King of Fighters: Battle de Paradise for the Neo Geo Pocket Color. Points can be downloaded from the Neo Geo Pocket Color game to speed up the leveling process for Extra Strikers, and Extra Strikers unlocked on the Dreamcast game can be uploaded and used in the Neo Geo Pocket Color game.
- Network: The Japanese version had an online mode that supported viewing the official web site and uploading high scores for the two Survival modes.
- Extra Striker: The game includes 12 bonus characters who can be selected for use as Strikers. Vanessa and Seth are unlocked immediately, but the remaining characters are purchased in this mode in exchange for Ability Points earned in any of the single-player modes. The number of Ability Points accrued and the Strikers that have been unlocked are saved to a VMU.
In any of the single-player modes, a second player can enter the game for a challenge match by pressing START on a second control pad. There are eight difficulty levels (Beginner, Easy, Normal, Arcade, Hard, Very Hard, Hardest, Expert). The game ends if the player loses a match but can be continued an unlimited number of times. When continuing a game, the player can optionally choose a bonus to help with the current match, such as starting with a full power gauge or reducing the health of the opponent.
