KOF 96 made a few changes to the gameplay of the previous KOF games by introducing new techniques. Dodge The technique of the two previous games is replaced by an “emergency escape” technique or “baffle strike”, which allows the player character to move or towards the opponent. In the latter case, the player may be able to roll towards the opponent and end on the other side. The player can also determine the height of your jump and make small or big jumps. Moreover, all the graphic sprites of characters from the previous games were redesigned and command for certain special moves and Super were changed from previous games. As in the previous Super Special moves can be made when the power meter is full or when the player’s life gauge is flashing red. However, the player can also perform a more powerful version of the regular Super movement if both conditions are met.
