KOF 98 UMFE has gone through two different iterations of upgrades and has set on its final form. This makes it the best balanced version yet, and the amount of content plus the rollback netcode is the cherry on top, all available on PS4. Since this old school KOF was before all the crazy max cancel combo days, it still remains some of the basic fundamentals of some fighting games and will definitely bring back some old memories while playing against someone online.
