Manual
Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is a fighting game where players compete in a martial arts tournament, The King of Fighters, orchestrated by the villainous Geese Howard. The premise involves Geese's attempts to consolidate power and eliminate threats, while the player likely chooses a fighter to challenge his reign.
Story
Prologue
Geese Howard possessed all the Secret Scrolls of the Qin.
One day, Geese ordered his subordinate Billy to dispose of the Secret Scrolls. Geese stated, "The Secret Scrolls originally taught nothing. Even the strongest obtaining them is nothing more than a mere legend."
He continued, "But, even if we don't dispose of them... You know the Jin brothers, don't you? They were after the Secret Scrolls in a different sense. I still don't know what that means... Hmph, just dispose of them anyway."
Billy questioned, "Lord Geese. If I may say so, is there any need to fear them now...?" Geese replied, "I'm not afraid! It's a precaution to avoid repeating the same mistake twice!"
This conversation took place in a room on the top floor of Geese Tower, overlooking South Town. Geese stood from his chair and looked out the window.
He asked, "By the way, are the arrangements for The King of Fighters in order?" Billy responded, "Hmph, don't worry. Preparations are steadily underway."
A fearless smile appeared on Geese's lips as he looked out the window. He thought, "Heh heh... I'll show them again who the true ruler of this city is."

Power Gauge
During the game, by performing special moves (even if they are evaded), or by hitting or guarding normal attacks or special moves, the power gauge at the bottom of the screen will fill up.
When the power gauge reaches MAX, the [GO!] sign will flash. Depending on the state of your health gauge at that time, either [S.POWER] or [P.POWER] will appear on the screen, and the following attacks will become available:
