[edit] Plot
As indicated by the game's name, it takes place two years after the last canon King of Fighters game, The King of Fighters 2001. According to the game's storyline, a new King of Fighters tournament is organized by an unknown host. The new tournament instituted several new rules, including a whole new team system. In the game, this reflected in the series' switch to tag-team fighting a la the Marvel vs. Capcom series.
At the end of the tournament, depending on how players defeat the midgame boss, Kusanagi, the players will either face Adelheid Bernstein in the final match, or learn that the tournament organizer is Chizuru Kagura and that a group known as "His Distant Land", is working in a secretive plot. After defeating the mysterious stone fighter known as Mukai, Ash Crimson appears before Chizuru and attacks her in her weaken state, stealing her powers from within the process. Kyo Kusanagi and Iori Yagami come to Chizuru's aid and right before he leaves, Ash tells Iori that he's his next target, which he eventually does at the end of The King of Fighters XI.
