- This is a playthrough using 1st form Krizalid as a proper boss status character in the Arcade version of King of Fighters '99. Read on below for more information...
1st form Krizalid is the penultimate boss. He is a non-selectable character in all three Neo-Geo versions of the game (MVS, AES and NGCD).
His status can be set up (through third party methods) for a human player to play him just like the CPU Krizalid you fight against near the end of the game. By doing it this way, you get some unique features which would normally not be available if you had selected him as a "separate" character, as follows:
===== BOSS FEATURES =====
---- On the Order Select screen, he has the large CPU boss status image portrait meaning that you don't need to select the order.
---- Because he is in boss status, it means that the player only gets one character (Krizalid) to use, making him a lone character.
---- As he is in lone boss status, he does not have a Striker. This of course means that in the gameplay screen, there are no Striker nor Stock icons at the bottom of his side of the screen.
---- As he is in lone boss status, it means that in the gameplay screen there are no other "team member" names under his lifebar.
---- As he is in lone boss status, it means that before the Winning screen comes up (assuming you win a match), there are no other "team member" portrait flashes.
---- Playing as him in this manner also affects the way the CPU opponents are displayed on the Next Competitor screen.
---- Playing as him in this boss status will give you the Hero Team's story dialogues and endings.
---- After you beat the game with him in this status, the cutscene of him running is glitched in a way that there are only two of him, and they are both in glitched colours.
===== ABOUT 1ST FORM KRIZALID =====
This is the 1st form of him with the coat, with only 2 Special Moves and no super moves. Despite being "weaker" than his 2nd form, he is still quite powerful and is effective against the CPU opponents.
His first special move is a Fireball that has great priority as it comes out fast, has a wide hitbox and hits twice. As the fireball offers 2 strikes, it means that the 1st strike nullifies any single-hit projectiles from the opposition, while the 2nd strike travels through.
His other special move is an Air Diving kick which is comes out fast, travels fast and can be combo'd into from any air Normal. As Krizalid is a tall character, this means that the kick has excellent reach.
Here is the information on him:
---- On the character select screen, his image portrait covers a bit of the top half of the character grid icons.
---- On the character select screen, after you select 1st form Krizalid, his icon at the bottom appears as K's character grid icon with glitched colours. The icon also doesn't fill up the box obviously.
---- Same as above on the Order Select screen.
---- On the VS screen, when he is part of a Team, his banner image is "empty", just showing a line.
---- In gameplay as the active character, he does not have animations for using Strikers. It still works though, and he will be performing his standing kick as he summons the Striker.
---- In gameplay, if he is an inactive character or Striker, his name text is misspelt as "KRIZARID".
---- In gameplay, when he is the Striker character, if you go all the way to the left-end of the screen and use him as a Striker, he appears standing half-off-screen to the left, and does nothing. Despite this, there is actually a resource effect that happens, and this effect is that it grants the player loads of extra Striker stocks/usages... which is useless given that Striker Krizalid doesn't do anything.
---- In gameplay, if he is a Striker, he actually has a proper Striker icon image at the bottom, despite being a non-selectable character in this version of the game.
---- Despite being a non-selectable character, his gameplay sprites appear perfectly in the cut-scenes.
---- Despite being a non-selectable character in all NeoGeo versions of the game, he actually has an alternative colour palette.
---- In gameplay, his standing axe kicks inflict chip damage if blocked.
---- In gameplay, he cannot crouch, but does have some "Down + [X]" moves.
---- He is not part of any "special teams" or "secret teams", meaning that if you beat the game with him, he does not have any endings.
---- He has much less animations/sprites in general when compared to the other characters.
Kof's last GREAT boss.
