Your decisions and battle results may lead you to discovering new story elements; try out all the different options and every scene!

The new netcode features improved communication speeds between you and your opponent, and also tailors your online experience according to your PC environment!

“THE KING OF FIGHTERS XIII Steam Edition” features three different types of ONLINE VERSUS Matches, allowing players to challenge other rivals worldwide in endless and intense battles:

‐ “Ranked Match”: fight under specified regulations, and your results will be reflected in the rankings.

– “Player Match”: playing in this mode will not affect your results. You can fight against others casually.

– “Friend Match”: invite online players and challenge them through this mode for heated competition!

MISSION:

Tackle three different kinds of missions in this mode, and improve your skills!

– “TIME ATTACK”: Defeat all CPU opponents in the shortest time you can.

– “SURVIVAL”: Select a character and fight your way through as many CPU opponents as you can.

– “TRIAL”: In this mode, each character has 10 tasks, which mainly focus on combos. By the time you complete all 10 tasks, you will have mastered some combos for that character.

 

TUTORIAL:

Rose Bernstein, hostess of the tournament, will teach you the basic techniques as well as explain the gauges and their uses. First time KOF players should start here to get used to the game.
