This version combines elements from both KOF '97 and KOF 2003 with character roster merges and sometimes altered move properties, creating unpredictable matchups that aren't found in official releases, giving experienced players new surprises to discover.

How do I perform super moves and desperation attacks?

As a bootleg edition, certain characters may have modified stats, altered move properties, or unexpected capabilities compared to their official counterparts, creating fresh experiences but occasionally affecting game balance.
