The King of Fighters '99: Millennium Battle
Two years have passed since the last King of Fighters tournament and no one has seen Kyo Kusanagi or Iori Yagami since they defeated Orochi at the climax of the 1997 tournament, but out of the blue new invitations are sent out to many characters inviting them to a brand new tournament, although this competition is a more secretive affair than those of '96 and '97. Unlike previous games in the series, there are four characters per team instead of three, with the fourth acting as a "striker," a fighter whose function is only to enter a fight, attack the opponent and leave without replacing his teammates. In total, there are seven teams, each with four characters, four team edit characters and a boss.
