King was one of my favorite back in the days. Can't remember if she was in '98. Well, something to dig.
And, yeah. Bloody SNK did some mean fighters. I kind of miss Art of Fighting and Fatal Fury series.

I'm with you bud, King is the fucking SHIT. I usually play with King, Mai and Yuri.

You know, what's even funnier?! I play Mai mainly because it usually has some simple, but effective moves. The eye candy it's a bonus.
Street Fighter was Chun Li and Cammy, Soul Calibur was Ivy, the more recent Tekken was Lily. In Mortal Kombat i played a lot with Sonja, Mileena and Kitana (hell in MK2 i had even a couple of unintended combos for Kitana)
What those ladies have in common?! They are easy to play.

I tend to gravitate towards female fighters too, mostly because they're quick pokey characters and often grossly underestimated \o/
SF: Chun Li, Sakura + Juri,
SNK: Mai, Yuri, King, Nakoruru + Charlotte
Tekken: Asuka + Lili
Soul Calibur: Sophitia, Cassandra, Taki + Shura
Dead or Alive: Hitomi
Skullgirls: Filia, Valentine + Ms Fortune
I'm also an absolute sucker for Shoto-style characters, so the likes of Akuma/Ken/Ryu/Dan, etc.

Charlotte from Samurai Showdown. Hell, yeah!
I really need to replace the buttons and the joystick on my PSP's.
And Sophitia + Hitomi. Yup, also my favorites.

it is the best in the series, but if it the netcode is anywhere as bad as in xiii on steam, it will be unplayable as well.
the only acceptable ways to play the old sf and kof games online are still ggpo and mame.

Who cares. Why they have to tap on the same game for 16-17 fucking years? Make a new one. Now if you tell me that they can't make a good one, I might be inclined to believe you. But when done right, aka MK, then the old ones, while still fun, hold no candle to it. 
And they just milking it. I'd love one of these old games with updated 4K sprites. But no, let's release some old blur, slap extra subtitles on it and sell like hotcakes from idiots that bought all the versions until now.

I think I liked KoF back in the day on SNES emulators. But that's not the point. If there was a "Mortal Kombat 2 Ultimate Ultra Final Cut Maximum XXX Total Ultra Mega Final  Fatality Edition Babality Special Friendship Edition", I'd say the same thing.
But JapCrap derpelopers are notoriously known to do this shit in their stupid games.

Just becuase KoF is a more indepeth SF zeel dosn't mean it takes less skill then Mortal Kombat. MK is more twith oriented while KoF/SF is more Muscle Memory oriented. I'm with Natan on this one. If GGPO didn't suck so much I wouldn't have bought this game.
I just dont get why companies are still stuck in the 90s thinking this is the arcades with no network capabilities. They can rerelese the same game with bug fixes and add "turbo 2 remix edition" and sell it for full price when it could just be released as a FREE PATCH. But too be fair KOF98 is only on PC for GGPO which is very unstable especially when its active.
