Introduction:
Originally released in 2001 for arcades running on the Neo-Geo hardware by SNK, The King of Fighters 2001 is the eighth (although seventh canonical) installment in SNK's long running series of the same name, and the conclusion of the NESTS Saga that started in The King of Fighters '99. This is also the final installment of the series to be published by the original SNK due to the company filing for bankruptcy weeks before the game's release, with development being concluded by Breezasoft and Korean developer Eolith.
This installment of the series will now allow players to set how many characters they want to play with in their team, with the ability to have up to three strikers depending on how many characters you wish to play with for that match. Additionally, this game also marks the debut of some new characters, including Angel, May Lee, and the controversial K9999. Additionally, as the game was outsourced to Eolith following SNK's bankruptcy, all four members of the Korea Team will now speak their native tongue when you set the game language to Korean.

Walkthrough:
Step 1: Play through Original mode
In this step, you will need to play through the game's original arcade mode as you rack up a score of at least 500,000 points in total in addition to registering your highest score in the online rankings and beating the high score of the game, if you are having trouble, you can change the difficulty to "1" to make it easier. The Battle Ability point system from the previous two entries in the series has been removed in this game, instead reverting back to the original points system used in previous KOF games prior to '99.
