Match up will play out like so... 3 character team layout per player.
The main idea behind this is to make another style of competition format/play which will allow the game to look and feel more dynamic.
In doing so it will test a player's competitive skill based on basic fundamentals (consistence in play based on spacing, ability to capitalize from whiff/throw punishing and correct situational reads... by that I mean countering, throwing counters, 50/50s and set-ups, and interrupts).
There are a few ways to doing this. Now, in order for 3 characters to be eliminated the equivalent of a best of 5 (first to 3) games have to be played.
As the game currently stands and as I see it there are a few ways to do this. For each style has a short description, and listed points which includes comparative notes.
_______________
#1 - Traditional KOF style.
When a character is defeated the next character is up.
Draw backs
_______________
#2 - 3 strikes and the character is out.
Being consistent with the best of 3 setting, characters have spare 2 lives each.
Draw backs
Points
#3 - Best of 3+ games per character.
Each character plays a best of in order to survive. Lose a best of X and the character is out
Draw backs
Points
I'm much for the idea. Personally KOF has always been very entertaining to play and over the years I've put in at about 5-20 hours of game play in and apart from that, KOF is an extremely successful franchise. I'd say second to SF there has been a lot of gamers who have attempted to get good at the game.
