The seventh game in The King of Fighters series, and the second chapter of the NESTS Chronicles. The game was released on July 26, 2000 in arcades, and for Neo Geo on December 21, 2000. It was the last game released by the original SNK before their bankruptcy.After the events of last year's tournament, Heidern is determined to investigate the NESTS cartel and put a stop to their ruthless ambitions. After his old friend Ling suggests that K' and Maxima may hold the key to locating the whereabouts of the mysterious organization, he focuses his efforts on finding them so they can be captured and interrogated. Meanwhile, NESTS sends some of their own agents to investigate this year's tournament.Continuing from '99's Striker system, KOF 2000 expands it into the Active Striker system; instead of having to stand still to summon a Striker, 2000 lets the players to summon them under almost any situation, allowing massive combo opportunities. Each character has an alternate Striker known as "Another Striker" and a select few have a third Striker, known as a "Maniac Striker"; if they count as individual characters, this puts KOF 2000 as the installment to have the biggest roster in the entire main series, as well as having the most SNK game representation in a single fighting game (with some surprise guest appearances like Burning Fight and Quiz Daisousa-sen).Another notable change in KOF 2000 is that, in addition to some buffs to Counter/Armor Mode, it splits up the Super Moves between the normal version and the MAX version, dropping the rule of all Super Moves having their upgraded "MAX" variation. Some Super Moves still keep both normal and MAX versions (like Iori's Ya Otome), but now each character has a Super that only works as either a normal move (costing one Power Gauge stock) or a MAX move (costing all three stocks like in '99; it would be accordingly altered in future installments to fit their system). This mechanic change was one thing that would stay in the series for a while, up until KOF XIII.The game would eventually be ported to the Dreamcast and PlayStation 2. The former adds new stages, while the latter adds new Maniac Strikers, an alternate mode known as Party Mode, and the ability to watch the openings of past KOF titles.

comment
Multiple Endings: In addition to the different endings for each team, the final cutscene changes depending on whether or not the player fought Kula. If so, her handlers appear to subdue Zero, and she prepares to destroy the Zero Cannon. If the player didn't fight Kula, Heidern is seen subduing the Ling clone, preventing them from pressing a button that was presumably connected to the Zero Cannon.

Adaptation Expansion: The Dreamcast port adds extra stages not just from the previous KOF games, but SNK games in general. Examples include the Team Japan's stage in KOF '95, Nakoruru's stage in Samurai Shodown III, and the first stage of beat 'em up Burning Fight. The PlayStation 2 port adds more Maniac Strikers to some characters, like the American Sports Team and Leona/Iori in their mid-boss forms from the Orochi Saga.

No-Holds-Barred Beatdown
 The King of Fighters 2000 (Video Game) / int_25524784
comment
No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: One of the traits of some Strikers is that, even when the opponent went into a complete hard knowkdown state, the Strikers can forcefully stand them up and lock them into hitstun state again, opening an extra combo opportunity for the player character. The most commonly used Striker is Joe, but there are many others who can do this, like Kim Dong Hwan and Mr. Big.

Actionized Sequel: From a gameplay perspective, at least. The Active Striker system makes it much easier to chain together long combos, potentially to a point where one good hit is enough to end a round.

Gameplay Grading: Like '99, KOF 2000 keeps track of your performance with Battle Ability points, which determines whether and when Kula shows up as an optional boss. Unlike '99, the amount of Battle Ability points is abundant if you set the game on higher difficulty and will face Kula with little effort if you do so without continuing.

It's a Wonderful Failure: KOF 2000 is, across all main KOF series including XV, the only installment to display unique game over quotes from your last defeated fighter, most of them lamenting their loss or declaring they're not giving up (even by Breaking the Fourth Wall and addressing the player).

Balance Buff: In KOF '99, your Power Gauge resets to none when your current fighter loses in previous match. In 2000, you get your stocks back again like the Advanced Mode in '98. The Armor Mode lasts longer than in KOF '99. The cooldown to recover the Power Gauge after using both Limit Break Modes became shorter than KOF '99.

SNK Boss: Clone Zero's super meter increases incredibly fast, and his supers inflict roughly over half of your health's worth of damage, not to mention one of them being a full-screen attack. Fortunately, he's got a case of Artificial Stupidity where it's mitigated by his AI's weakness when reacting to the player, but it's still a good idea to be careful when fighting him. Still, this is by far the easiest SNK Boss in the entire series.
