The final "maniac striker" in the original The King of Fighters 2000 is an extra-secretive one for some reason--in fact, this character only ever had one fully playable appearance in an SNK fighting game--one of their very first ones--and since then *has* become something of a running gag as having only cameo appearances--in at least 29 other games! : o

To have him appear as your striker in KOF 2000, you set Kasumi in the striker character slot, then switch to her alternate striker, Xiangfei, then input the hidden striker code: up, left x3, right x3, down--and "UNKNOWN" appears in place of Xiangfei!

But it's obviously a heavily shaded, back-turned Ryuhaku Todoh, Kasumi's father!

(I suppose Ryuhaku's elusiveness could be due to Kasumi's story, which is that she's out to avenge his humiliating loss to Ryo in Art of Fighting (1), and to find her father, who went into hiding after that bitter defeat. https://snk.fandom.com/wiki/Ryuhaku_Todoh)

So anyway here I am playing through the game with striker "UNKNOWN" and the semi-random team of Kim, Ramon, and Leona.

I've struggled with Kim and Ramon in KOF 2000 before, but this didn't go too badly...for the most part. Leona had to save our butts after another tough outing against Chang (and Choi) in the Finals, and then the attempt against boss Zero is perhaps better forgotten. : ooo
