Before Playing FAQ

Is this an official SNK release?

No, it's an unofficial bootleg/hack created by third-party developers modifying the original KOF 2001 Neo Geo MVS arcade ROM.

What are the major changes from official KOF 2001?

Changes include character moveset tweaks (different combo routes, move properties), possibly adjusted hitboxes, faster/slower gauges, and game balance shifts leading to a unique feel.

Will my combos from the original work here?

Likely not perfectly. Frame data priority or hitstun changes might break old combos or enable new unexpected links. Prepare for lab rediscovery.
