SNK vs. Capcom vs. Marvel vs. Midway vs. Nintedo
The Story
The year is 2007. 13 years ago Rugal Bernstein established the "King of fighters" tournament. he disappeared under the ocean, with his yacht "BlackNoah", and 4 years later he reappeared in the drowned yacht, stronger.

Story in game
After finishing the regular matches: portal opened. You're pumped into it to the mount from KOF97, there you'll fight against Shermie, and then Chris. After that:
Chris: oh no, not again!
Character: what happened?
Chris becoming Orochi, but more evil- 8 headed dragon, as in the mythology! He has all the fire powers of the old KOF's characters.
After you finish him, you'll pumped again, to BlackNoah. But the yacht looked now very different than in 1994, even than in 1998: flames surrounding the yacht, and demons outside it. It looked like it's in hell now. After you finish Mature outside the yacht, you enter and meet Rugal- he looked strange: he's more like demon than human. He explains that he made deal with the devil- and now you are his next souls to give to the devil! He uses his panther as striker. He stronger, and can absorb souls as in KOF2002.
After you finish him he's burned and disappeared. You saved the day. Congratulations- now you're the champion of the quarto-tournament!
