The arcade version of the game features a roster of 20 characters, which is half the number of characters featured in The King of Fighters XI. See also: List of The King of Fighters characters The Guard Breaks from previous games can now be done at any time. Players can still dash, backstep, and perform rolls as their evade. Additionally, there are no official teams, leaving the player to create any team to use. As happened with The King of Fighters '98 and The King of Fighters 2002, the game does not contain a storyline, allowing the return of several characters depending on their status in the series. Finally, there is also a 'clash' system in place (called the Sousai or 'Deadlock') whereupon every time characters land blows on one another with matched timing, the engine will generate a 'break' effect and push the characters away from one another into a neutral standing. The new 'Guard Attack' feature allows a fighter to intercept and hit an incoming opponent's strike damage-free (even Desperation Moves can be repelled in this fashion).

Once the critical counter's time period has expired, the player can finish with a special move.

When it is full and a player lands a strong punch as a counter, the character enters into a critical counter mode where the player has a short amount of time during which their character can link multiple attacks together. During a match, a bar beneath the player's vitality will fill. KOF XII also introduces the 'critical counter' system. However, the Tactical Shift System from The King of Fighters 2003 has been removed. The King of Fighters XII uses the usual 3-on-3 team system with each fight consisting of up to five rounds.
