The King of Fighters '96 is a fighting game developed by SNK for the arcades and the third game in the The King of Fighters series. While the core gameplay is largely the same as in the previous games, this one adds a few new elements. The sidestepping in the previous games has been replaced by dodge rolling and Super Desperation Moves make their introduction. It also brings back infamous Art of Fighting boss Geese Howard and introduces new characters such as Leona Heidern and Chizuru Kagura. The story has the yearly King of Fighters tournament being hijacked by a Goenitz, a mysterious man who aims to revive his master, Orochi.
In this run, KusogeMan chooses the Korea Justice Team and makes heavy use of Choi Bounge's infinite combos to beat every opponent in record time while taking scratch damage to prevent the "Perfect" message from showing up.
