For the Extra gauge, the charging time for the MAX mode reduces.
Both work the same as the previous game, but there is a new thing: everytime a member of your team loses a battle, the Advanced gauge's stock limit raises (with a maximum of 5 for your last of your trio). Select between two fighting modes: Advanced or Extra. This means the game does not have a plot (is non-canon to the storyline), tries to gather all fighters from all previous games and only mixes the best mechanics the franchise can give. The King of Fighters '98 is a dream match. This means the game now has more content. This is the first KOF game using Neo-Geo's new Giga Power cartridge, which allows more storage than the previous Max 330 Mega and the The 100 Megashock!. Stuff new to KOF98 includes some tweaks to the system and gameplay the return of many previous fighters. Buttons for punches and kicks, analog rotation for special moves, "super" moves, etc. The gameplay in the battle (controls) is very identhical to what is seen on Street Fighter games (that's because KOF is a competitor to Capcom's franchise). The teams are based on both already existing SNK games and characters new to The King of Fighters. The rounds are based on a team member's turn if one loses, the next member fights. Just like the previous KOF games, you must choose 3 characters to form a team. And also the first to use the Giga Power Neo-Geo system/cartridge. It is the fifth game in The King of Fighters series and the first "dream match". The King of Fighters '98: The Slugfest (subbed Dream Match Never Ends in Japan, titled The King of Fighters Dream Match 1999 on the Dreamcast) is a fighting game developed by published (mostly) by SNK, initially released on Jfor the Neo-Geo MVS arcades.
