** Elisabeth. In the original arcade version, she was considered to be the best battery in the game thanks to her being able to build meter with Etincelles and do solid damage for one bar. In the console version, they nerfed her meter building potential and her damage output. Additionally, she couldn't take advantage of the HD combo system like other characters, leaving her nearly absent from tournament play.
** Mai. Her zoning game leaves a lot to be desired, and many characters can freely rush her down or zone her out without much retaliation from Mai. She also had a difficult time using meter effectively, limiting her potential as an anchor. Mai had her fans in ''XIII'', but she was almost always fighting an uphill battle.

* HilariousInHindsight: This game having a feature called Drive Cancels would be somewhat amusing since Capcom would have a similar concept come ''VideoGame/StreetFighter6''.

** [[https://youtu.be/3pC3TAd39ng "The Second Joker"]], Ash's solo theme. A very bombastic and almost triumphant tune that ''very much'' suits Ash's current state of mind and place at this point in the series' canon. In fact, it's so good it even made it into ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate''!
** Meanwhile, Elisabeth's team theme is the equally triumphant and elegant [[https://youtu.be/LcBHAAyiGos "Each Promise"]], a theme that's mysterious like Duo Lon, hard-hitting like Shen, and of course classy enough to suit someone like Elisabeth.
** Odd as his teammates might be, Kim isn't one without a good banger. And such is the case with the aptly named [[https://youtu.be/8Jsdn0wHgQM "Tame a Bad Boy"]], a hard-hitting rock piece with some synths towards the middle that ''really'' make you want to kick some ass in the name of Justice! Like Ash's theme, this too also made the cut for ''Smash Ultimate''.
** Being the FinalBoss of the Ash Saga as a whole, it's only fitting that Saiki comes in strong with two solo themes. The first of which being [[https://youtu.be/97G5Qnb1P9o "Fate"]], where he's fought in his OneWingedAngel form. It's a very foreboding and intimidating piece that does a great job of highlighting the threat that Saiki poses to possibly all of existence. The second one, [[https://youtu.be/KE41IrTKJdw "The One Who Rules Time"]], is also just as foreboding, but also placing more emphasis on just how ''evil'' Saiki is. So much that Ash [[spoiler:sacrifices ''[[RetGone his entire existence]]'' to be rid of him]].
** Befitting for the situation, [[spoiler:Evil Ash]] gets the very somber and frantic [[https://youtu.be/SnZbtzg-klk "Diabolosis"]]. A theme that isn't complete without a battle for the fate of existence itself. Especially considering the WhamEpisode that ''XIII'' is to the entire series.
* ContestedSequel: ''KOF XIII'' is considered a good game, but opinions split on how good it is. Most of the discussion centers around that this game's system is similar to ''KOF 2002 UM'' released a year earlier and gets compared a lot to it by fans of that game (in addition to earning some resentment for removing ''XI''[='s=] TagTeam mechanics).

''KOF XIII'' is still subject to some criticism (see ContestedSequel), but it still restored the faith that SNK is still got it.

** On one hand, because this is based on the series' familiar MAX Mode, this is one of the more accessible ''KOF'' entries for both returning players and newbies, with great HD graphics (which is far more realized in this game than barebone ''XII'') and system additions like Hyper Drive Mode to differentiate itself from the other games. Many unique features new to the series, such as the ability to create custom colors and the first true story mode, were also well received.
** On the other hand, some fans (particularly those of ''2002 UM'') do not take a liking to this game as, while not as evidently barebone as ''XII'', ''KOF XIII'' is still missing a lot from its predecessors. Normal Attacks' "close/far" variation is almost gone (so they come out the same no matter how far your opponent is), a lot of fan-favorites are not in this game (with every ''XI'' newcomer removed except Elisabeth), some characters still don't have their Special and/or Super Moves (like Maxima not knowing Bunker Buster and Maxima Revenger), and the BattleIntro animation is reduced to text dialogue. Detractors argue these changes hurt the game and its meta too much to consider ''XIII'' a worthy sequel.
