Wellllllll if you want to get to grips with KOF, play KOF 97, it's got the basics, and still gets rinsed out in China. I'm not sure who still plays 99!
learn how to combo and roll
pick Kyo, Iori and anyone else you like!
Or if you want to play 99, ... ok but use Bao. Very easy to learn and effective!!! I don't really have to give you any tips, you'll see! Spam those fireballs!
Hmm I think best Striker was either Ralf or Seth. iirc taunting will give you a striker bomb back... Use Strikers to defend you then when you are ready with combos use the strikers to max out your combos as some such as Ralf will send the opponent into the air and you can juggle them.
Some stuff still floating around on youtube!
