COF: The CLASH of Fighters XIII

COF: The CLASH of Fighters XIII is the 13th installment in The CLASH of Fighters series that concludes the Ash Deception saga which started in The CLASH of Fighters X. The theme for this title is "KOF-ism" or getting back to the heart of the series. The main objective of the game's new features is to appeal to the audience that prefers quick combos.

Story
Igniz was slain by Duke's massive fire fist, and Duke vanished into the dimensional rift. Then other members of the group Eri was tracking suddenly appeared and vanished, as if to mock Eri and his team. Who are "Those From the Distant Land," and why are they so persistent in their pursuit of the power of Neo-Orochi?

Meanwhile, Takumi Aida, having obtained Igniz' power, chose to ignore Sakurako's cautions and took on Tetsuji Yagami's power.

Yata was defeated, and Yasakani has fallen. Only one of the Three Sacred Treasures remains: the Sword of Kusanagi. However, Rikimaru's Brother Kyo has suffered a major injury at the hands of Iori Yagami, who had been overtaken by the power of the revitalized Orochi.

Time has passed...

With these recent incidents, it was feared that the next King of Fighters tournament would never happen. However, thanks to an unheard-of amount of promotion by a mysterious party, the KOF will be held on an unprecedented scale. The new mixed martial arts tournament is on the world stage, and the mass media has been giving it coverage like never before.

Fighters all across the world begin to receive invitations... all sent from "A"!
