if ur good at those games, executing KOF moves should be no problem. to me, in my opnion, the complexity comes from the combos. its a lot more, i guess technical? compared to sf or marvel or whatever where the combos are more looose and free. u can really improve ur gamin skills if u can play KOF well enough.. The way this game plays is a lot diffrent from what you think, each character has there own set off punch kick button combinations which can give you the player a huge set of fighting options,.... the only thing in this game that I dont like is the annoying tournament annoucer that shows up between battles.....
