1325: King of Fighters '97 Global Match PS4 \\ O.Yashiro, O.Leona, Iori playthrough, Flicker Filter!
2Playing the team of Orochi Yashiro, Orochi Leona, and Iori Yagami in default difficulty (3) arcade team play of The King of Fighters '97 Global Match on PS4! I'm using the default "Flicker Filter" setting to reduce the game's flashing FX to what is hopefully a bearable level.

I had always turned off 97 GM's Flicker Filter option immediately because I didn't like the "frame ghosting" effect it produced, but now years later it suddenly occurred to me out of the blue that it would also mellow out the game's numerous flashing/strobing FX, possibly allowing me to play the game without getting a migraine--and so far, so good! ^ )^
97 is by far the craziest KOF and I think I might kind of love it. It was also the apex of their flashing FX, right before that Pokemon episode gave 300 Japanese kids seizures and they gave the upcoming KOF 98 a Flash=Off option and stopped adding red flashes to every single thing they could think of. ; )
Even the story here gets downright nutty and arcade mode seems to go on really long compared to 2000, too. Was worried about that darned Orochi boss guy (I knew I hated Chris ;P) but uh well on the default difficulty 3 at least he was surprisingly not too bad.
Sort of forgot I already have the Steam version of KOF UM FE; checked and it doesn't have a Flicker Filter option--the Steam version definitely pre-dates their PS4 SNK ports, so I guess they just hadn't come up with that option prior to that, or at least not when they were doing FE originally; and checking videos of the much more recent PS4 version, I don't see any frame ghosting in those, so the PS4 version probably doesn't have the Flicker Filter option either--unlike, as far as I can tell from videos, their PS4 2002 Unlimited Match port, whose videos on YouTube DO show frame ghosting; but they never did an earlier port of 2002 so for that one they'd have had to do new code, so kinda makes sense it would get their newer options.
