The Ultimate 11: SNK Football Championship

The Ultimate 11: SNK Football Championship, in Japan called Tokuten Oh: Honoo no Libero (得点王 炎のリベロ), is the fourth game in the Super Sidekicks series. It was developed through a partnership between SNK and Akai, and launched in 1996, a year after its predecessor, Super Sidekicks 3: The Next Glory.

Overview
The Ultimate 11 keeps with the same gameplay style from its predecessors, with only minimal changes. The players scoring the goals are still named, but individual scores are no longer kept. The regional tournaments from Super Sidekicks 3 have been eliminated and replaced with an alternate mode entitled "SNK Football Championship", an elimination tournament in which the player can select any one opponent from any region to play. The last region played is the deciding match.

Good player performance opens up a match again a hidden boss team called the SNK Superstars, which features characters from SNK's fighting games as players. Teams now have a charge bar (similar to the one in fighting games), which is charged depending on how long the player keeps the ball under their team's control. When the bar is fully charged and flashing, if a player is near the goal, they can take a shot that is virtually unblockable, depending on the opposing team. Teams are ranked to mirror their real-life counterparts.
