I argue that best KoF and MS are King of Fighters '98 and Metal Slug 3. Also Twinklestar Sprites.

Metal Slug 3 is let down by that mask boss which takes forever to defeat. And the last mission, while incredible, goes on FOREVER

I go back and forth with Metal Slug. 3 is absolutely peak, but sometimes it's just too much, you know? 2/X is a bit more of a focused, compact adventure and I really like it for that.

I prefer 2 over X, for a simple reason that does not affect most: Friends an me played MAME games for highscores. And Metal Slug X doesn't have a good scoring system, as there were some items that ruined it for us. But honestly its really hard to pick a specific entry as the best and it could go either way.

'98 does have a banger attract screen song, it's true.
