Strikers

The Strikers (ストライカー, Sutoraikā) were a mechanic and a rule used in The King of Fighters series.

=Description= This mechanic were used during the games of the NESTS saga. Instead of the 3-on-3 teams from earlier KOF games, each team now has a fourth member. Before a match, the player chooses three of the characters to use in the fights, with the fourth member becoming a Striker. The player can summon their Striker during battle to help their character by performing one of their Special Moves against the opponent. A Striker can be summoned only a limited number of times during a single match.
