Is there a way to play The King of Fighters multiplayer on the PC?

Many people say that they are the best in King of Fighters ver. 1.3. I also wondered if there is a player better than I am, but the only way to figure that out is by playing them in a multiplayer game.

I have heard of a new version where Mai and Chun Li would be released, but so far, I haven't found that game. So now I'm here wanting to know if any of you knew anything about a version of King of Fighters that allows multiplayer. Please tell me any information you may have.

You might want to look into playing older KoF games with an emulator that supports netplay (see list). There's also KoF XII, but it's not available on PC.

Update: As Yotam Wilson mentions, KoF XIII is now available on Steam, so there’s finally an official way to play KoF online on PC. If an official release is what you were asking for, consider choosing his answer instead.

As of this September KOFXIII is available on steam with fairly improved netcode since the PS3 version
