Fun Fact about Athena, her hairstyle & costume changes in EVERY KoF mainline game.
because athena is a jpop idol 😁
You're right😃
@@ryunekoyashiki yep yep
Her and Robert Garcia.
@@sharzinlalebazri5673 Nah, Robert's style doesn't change that much.
King of fighters is basically the reason why Smash bros exists, the groups are in 3 cause (at the beggining) most of the teams came from other games made by SNK, Art of fighting, Fatal fury, Athena, Ikari warriors, and that inspired Sakurai to take existing nintendo characters for the first Smash brothers game
That's why for him Terry Bogard in smash is a really important character he really loves KOF games
If you want the lore and story I recommend Thorgi's 4 part series about KOF story, although he talks about SNK as a company too cause they had the lowest lows and the lowest highs yet somehow SNK is still alive pushing through with KOF XV
Thanks for the video series recommendation 🙂
SNK pulls through thanks to the power of Japan and LatAm
Fun fact, mai is actually a feminist icon in the fighting game community. She dresses that way because it's how she likes to dress, and when people try to call her permiscuous she immediately tells them otherwise.
98, 98 Ultimate, 2002, and 2002 Unlimited Match are "Dream Match" games. Basically, they're non-canon since they bring back characters from previous installments of the series, both living and deceased (except for the American sports team in 2002 for comedic reasons)
Also KoF XII is a dream match & non canon.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but the series has 3-4 games within a story arc, then a dream match game with everyone in the arc to sort of cap things off. So ‘94-‘97 are all one arc with ‘98 as the dream match before the next arc, and so on.
@C.V317 94 is dream match
@@user-nq2xc1ff9zNo it's not.
@@C.V317The Ash saga never had a dream match game though, unless you count the console version of XI
That KOF XV is the story intro, not the game intro.
The game intro is the KOF XV anime 2D intro one.
Fun Fact: Dan Hibiki creation is literally just Capcom middle finger to SNK.
There’s another series called Art of Fighting (where Terry Bogard and Andy Bogard are from) that’s connected to KOF and there’s a character named Ryo Sakazaki whose is basically SNK version of Ryu from SF. So Capcom made Dan as a little jab.
One of Dans win quotes from older games:
“I hate the Art of Fighting, but I wanna be the King of Fighters!”
terry and andy are from fatal fury
Terry and Andy are from Fatal Fury my friend, Ryo is from Art of Fighting.
For more in-depth look at King of Fighters I highly recommend Thorgi's Arcade. He'a done a full multi-part retrospective on the franchise, from its story, characters, gameplay, and even the behind the scenes issues of SNK's rocky history.
Time for some iconic SNK Boss Syndrome:
“GENOCIDE CUTTAH!”
“KOKO DESU KA!”
“TYPHOON RAGE!”
"SAA, MU NI KAEROU ! "
Fun side-note regarding KoFs animation:
The animated movies and the opening for the most recent KoF game (+ character designs) were lead by the animation Legend Masami Obari, who is considered an icon for giant robot animation.
And it was him who did the very, very first transformation sequence for Optimus Prime in the first Transformers animated series from 1984.
fun fact on that: Obari did the animation for KoF in exchange for SNKs then current game console with KoF games as part of his payment.
Grafity girl is our Chilean representative ( somehow) it seem she will be a main character in the latest main plotline so hopefully she will be back a few more times
Ah, Rugal
The original Cheap Boss King.
If you wanna know the lore of King Of Fighters so far, the exception being 14 & 15 because potentially the Saga is still going. There are three great videos by NeoGeoNow that were approved by SNK themselves that you should watch in order. The Orochi Saga, The NESTS Saga, & The Ash Saga! I recommend them
King of Fighters is an "all stars" Neo Geo game ... a whole bunch of its cast are from Fatal Fury, Art of Fighting, Metal Slug, etc.
11:39 when Ken said that the games focus on a new person, they're focusing on the protagonists of the game.
The games are separated into sagas with different protagonists
96 and 97 was known as the Orochi Saga and the protagonist was Kyo Kusanagi. (5:40)
99-2001 was known as the NESTS saga and the protagonist was K' (pronounced K Dash) (10:50)
2003-XIII was known as The Tales of Ash. The protagonist was Ash Crimson (15:32)
XIV and XV the protagonist is Shun'ei (the guy with the earphones at 23:11)
NEO GEO is a arcade company that work alongside SNK to make KOF, Fatal Fury, Samurai Shodown, Garou Mark of The Wolves and Metal Slug. They even have their own console, and their cartridges is very big.
Also they even have their own handheld console called NEO GEO pocket. That 8bit opening you've seen is on the NEO GEO pocket. It's only exclusive to Japan.
The very first fighting game that came out is from 1976, and it's called Heavyweight Champ. An arcade game that was made by SEGA. Even though Capcom brought the popularity in fighting games with their Street Fighter series. It also brought success in the arcades too. Street Fighter saved the arcade business, cause kids at that time were playing on their consoles.
Had no idea Neo Geo was a console 😯
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames yeah NEO GEO is a pretty interesting company, and SNK made a lot of arcade and console games. Not just on the NEO GEO, but on SEGA and TirboGraFX16. Not sure they did on the SNES though.
I need to say that neo geo is a snk console, not a separate company. In fact, the neo geo was a console by snk that used the same architecture as their arcade machines. Even down to the carts could be used between the home console & the arcade machines. Snk has a pretty big following in latam & south america because the arcade machine was cheaper than getting a new machine because they had a swapping system where you could swap games.
Also, the neo geo pocket was japan-only, but the color, its successor, wasn't. It released worldwide, & if snk hadn't originally bit the ghost in 2001, it probably would have been the biggest contender against the game boy sales wise considering how well it was selling.
This is where the Tekken producer gets inspiration to make his characters
The creator of Street 1 Fighter 1 actually worked with SNK wich is why because some of the characters look similar
It truly was a privilege to have played them all. To say that this game was a great multitude of my childhood is an understatement. I loved this franchise more than Street Fighter, heck still do.
I also met the franchise when I was a child and I totally agree. It seemed to me that the dynamic of 3 vs. 3 makes The King of Fighters more entertaining than Street Fighter. Also, unlike KoF's story, SF's is told in a very jumbled way, constantly alternating between present and past events, which I never really liked.
@@bluesorcerer83 ikr, plus the KOF characters have more flashy and powerful like moves and many other fighting styles as well as a good number of badass women in here too.
@@lordkiesor22 If we talk about the women, the only ones in SF who seem really badass and attractive to me are Chun Li, Sakura, Makoto and Elena. All the others are fine, but they don't drive me crazy.
In general, I prefer the KoF roster, both male and female. One of the biggest reasons is that the KoF characters have that goofy, but laid-back vibe that makes them very relatable, something that I don't think SF characters convey the same way. But that's just my preference.
@@bluesorcerer83 yeah true, Chum-Li is a household name, Ibuki, Elena, C.Viper, and Juri are my favorites but yeah like you said they don't really do for me what KOF does for me all around.
I recommend reacting to the kof timeline by Thorgis Arcade, very interesting story lines and also the drama of SNK company
😎👍😀
oh wow, I'm a KOF fan but I've never seen the '94 re-bout opening, pretty sick
KOF '96 and '97 will always be my favourite openings even though '98 is my all-time favourite game in the series. '97 also has my favourite fighting game ending ever, which happens if you choose Iori, Kyo and Chizuru as your team, which isn't shown as their canon teams in game so you had to know the plot enough to know to do that.
As a woman myself i actually like having sexy ladies like mai in games ^_^
Besides shes a kunoichi a female ninja and it is accurate that they use sex appeal to distract people as they they take em out lol
I say thank you to all the women out there for standing up for sexy women in video games , there's nothing wrong with liking sexy ladies.
Sincerely thank you.
I remember everyone waiting in lines just to play Leona when she came into the series
So, a few points here
1. The pixelated games you saw at the end where the soundtracks all reminded you of one composer/music tools, those weren't console ports, but rather Neo-Geo Pocket Color handheld system/ mini-console ports. SNK manufactured Neo-Geo Pocket Color as a competitor to the gamecube, game boy color systems by Nintendo. The music for those mini games would use MIDI which is like an 8 bit music system, which was used for its low file sizes to fit into these games.
2. The game where the translations weren't available(for which you did a fun dub), that was KOF XV, the latest game, which actually has English Subs in-game and it wasn't the opening. There's an animated opening to KOF XV as well that wasn't in the video you guys watched, so you could actually do a play-through of KOF XV :)
3. Regarding the portrayal of women in video games, yes, Mai with her bombastic sex appeal was and still is an immensely popular character for SNK games. But, SNK has always had a great variety of different women characters in their roster of KOF games, some of them fully clothed and others, flaunting it like they own it. Notable characters are Athena, Yuri, King, Leona, Chizuru have been in KOF since 94-96 and are still in today.
Hope that helps to understand a bit more about KOF. Looking forward to more Fight Night Fridays!
It’s a shame this series never got the same traction as Street Fighter, but goddamn do I love a lot of these characters designs.
And heck, with them having so many games, you ain’t running out of content if you start now.
Side note. I just an ad for zombie phone game on Twitter, and for some reason they added Mai to the game. It is wild.
Weekly “Insane Lore of Street Fighter” suggestion
KOF has some cool looking characters
It’s weird to think about, but KoF really has Street Fighter beat when it comes to story, something most fighting games didn’t really take seriously. Like, KoF fighters evolve, antagonists rise and fall, and there’s a lot of supplementary media to give backstories to everyone in spite of the huge cast. Street Fighter really struggles to tell a different story or develop characters.
Thorgi's Arcade video on the series would be a great watch to learn more about the series.
That seems to be the go to one 😅
Akira Toriyama passed away 😭🕊️. R.I.P to one of the Greatest Anime Creators, Thank U for making the Dragon Ball Series.
Seems like the way this is organized is the 15 mainline games and then all the spinoffs
15:26 Ken, when you asked "new rules?" In KOF 2003 and XI, you can switch out your teammates' mid-battle much like in the Marvel Vs. Capcom series unlike in the other KOF games where you have to play the same character until they get knocked out.
Thanks for clarifying that 😀
ive only seen like half of these so it was nice to see some with yall for the first time. that KOF2006(edit: all the maximum impact ones) one was so sick. really gave tekken vibes.
I love seeing my favorite fighting game get some love. I grew up with some of these games.
All of KoF XIII are insane! They really capture the feeling of an ending saga game
Oh wow, even I didn't know that a few of these games existed!
I feel like playing kof02UM when I get home 😎
I remember always watching these openings on an arcade machine from far away because my parents never allowed me to play them
I'm guessing KoF XV wasn't out here when that video came out.
Fun fact, Ryo Sakazaki started in Art of Fighting and was obviously inspired by Ryu, but he was later combined with Robert Garcia's look to create Dan in Street Fighter.
Also Capcom vs SNK is a series worth looking into 😁
So the intro with the news reporter is actually the first cutscene of the story mode in KOF 15, which is more of an arcade mode with flashy cutscenes every now and then and you don’t really know what’s going on unless you pick the correct teams. So I’d recommend just reacting to it instead of playing it, but I’d be all for a livestream with KOF in it! Also if you want to learn more about this series or why some characters here look like some in street fighter, the KOF retrospective by thorgi’s arcade is really great I thoroughly recommend it!
30:00 Of course they did, that's Mark Okita, one of the best narrators in Japan.
KOF 99 dream match is my favorite openings Espcially with Kyo and Iori Fighting. Iori is basically the Darkness(Moon crest on his back)to Kyo's Light(Sun Crest on his back.) eternal rivals/destined rivals are the best rivals.
This was a great video. If you want more information, Thorgi's arcade is a one stop shop on fighting games. He has a whole several part video series on KOF.
Cuantos buenos recuerdos cruzando por mi memoria,
cuanta nostalgia atravezando me el corazon. La jubentud y los amigos se acaban muy rapido, pero nunca olvidare(ran) esos hermosos combos que les surti en EL KOF jajaja.
To be fair, most fighting game players are still young men so having sexy, scantily clad female characters like Mai is an important aspect to draw the player base in.
kof lore video might answer ur questions.
Casuals appreciate the jump to 3D.
The area where the battle is held is southtown, a fictional area in SNK games where all the residents are powerful gifted martial artists.
😎👍🙂
i love KOF96 intro!
SNK put a lot of effort in the OST that year!
94 just the other day, when everyone was alive. Sigh best not to live in the past, best not to focus on the future so much. The future is now.
You guys should check out the King of Fighters Another Day OVA - it was a OVA that complimented the Maximum Impact series.
fun fact the king of fighters tournament originated from the art of fighting and fatal fury series of games
oh and it be cool if you guys reacted to all the supers in kof 2001
and also capcom vs snk 2
You should check out SNK’s other major series, Samurai Shodown and Fatal Fury / Garou Densetsu. Particularly considering that SamSho got a new game in 2019, and that Garou is getting its first new series entry _in twenty six years_ in 2025. And that game looks *good.*
My personal top three.
3.97
2.2000
1.11
Judged by the strength of the generational inheritance between the protagonists,
or the ability to tell what the current generation is going to do just by watching the movie.
You should definitely check out thorgi arcade’s king of fighters retrospective, it gives a good explanation of the lore and other aspects of the series
38:26 is game boy .....
Very similar grafics in arcade and consols versions ( snes,ps,dreamcast , etc etc)
Kof,SF, Mortal Kombat y los 90.2000 ❤❤❤❤
The thing about the boob distraction makes me think about the Ivy vs Orchid death battle
Haven’t seen that one yet 😯🧐
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames love your guys channels by the way. It has been a great distraction as I haven't been able to do much as I haven't been able to do much as I have been waylaid with a back issue and an upcoming wisdom tooth extraction. Your guys chemistry and the fun you with the subject matter is really awesome
So they used a lot of the spin-off intros (including the vaguely canon visual novels and the handheld demakes) but not the animated intro for KOF 15?
Usa team Heavy-D, Lucky and Brian never got enter in the tournament cuz they're invitation being stolen and being defeated by other fighters who also enter like secound chance. I'm enjoy to play the team of Boxer, Basketball player and a american football wrestler back in KOF 98 Ultimate match.
They were only in the first tournament (94), but they'd get their invitations stolen ever since
Eu não tenho uma ordem específica de aberturas de kof favoritas, mas gosto muito das aberturas do 94 ao 2002, as aberturas do kof 94, 98 e 2002 são mais longas porque esses jogos foram relançados, as aberturas pixeladas são de jogos lançados para gameboy e recomendo assistir no próprio CZcams contando a história do jogo.
for me KOF2001 is the best....the plot and the boss....it's perfect.....
*the plot for KOF2001 started from KOF99 and the 2001 is the climax of the plot.....
*hoping that both of you do a reaction for KOFXV all characters introduction 🥰
La 97 y la 2002 y maximum impact son las mejores intros de la historia 😊❤
You should react to the new fatal fury city of the wolves trailer’s that came out
If you want to know the lore of KOF, you should go for Shoryugame, he made a great content on the KOF, Samurai Showdown etc. lores of it, even top 10s.
*I think you guys should check out some lore for the Division, preferably the first game or something.*
Mai:I have the biggest chest :3
Lien:And I took offensive to that(Lien is the assassin lady that was unzipping her suit 👀)
NOSTALGIA T-T
Mai canonically doesn't even have the biggest bust. The biggest ones are Shermie and Angel (they're tied at the same size).
28:30 in case this scene doesn't make it clear...this intro is from the 2000s xdxdxdxd
after kof xv it's already a smoothie of intros, the one who made the video doesn't deign to explain
I really want to see Mary Ryan (or ‘Blue Mary’ Ryan for short) - the female blonde fighter with short blonde hair at 10:17 in *The King Of Fighters Dream Match trailer,* alongside Street Fighter’s Cammy White, Tekken’s Nina Williams, Mortal Kombat’s Sonya Blade, Lollipop Chainsaw's Juliet Starling & Trish of Devil May Cry fame, all form a badass blonde chick clique, akin to Charlie’s Angels. I propose they be named either ‘Da Blonde Vixens Baddies,’ ‘The Solar Storm Sisters Crew,’ ‘Sunfire Sirens,’ or ‘The Blonde Brawlers 👊🤛🤜⚔🤺
Imagine seeing all 6 of em do a badass pose together.
That would be cool as hell 🤩
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Thanks! Glad u like this idea I thought
Want some dope intros. Look up dynasty warriors or samurai warriors intros. Now those are dope to watch
I loved kof 94 since i saw it on the arcades the first time,the thing that got me was the charging power super,then the characters,the songs etc,95 was the first time they introducing Iory Yagami,96 jeeesus the intro,kept the charching power wich is the thing i love,i saw it on arcades and then released a 96 Psx version,i loooved so much,it is my favourite one.97 was ok in the intro but the gameplay is sooo good,and yeah the damn BADASS Yashiro,Chris and Shermie,i think in the arcade the soundtrack was good BUT the psx version was WAAAAY better,the only thing bad about psx version is the loading time,is not like i hate it but when you´re in the Yashiro Team fight it was like,the music on psx is so damn good,and then when you´re about to hear Chris or Shermie songs........................................................................................................................................................loading time,i did a gameplay of 96 and 97 psx versions not cutting the songs,the problem on psx was that when the song start it was good ok,when you win or loose a fight and the second round starts,the song was like for example,the song was like 3 minutes,in the second round it starts in 2.30 minutes end and starts again from the beginning,what i did on my gameplay is get rid of the loading times and the music never cut when you win or loose it keeps going.
czcams.com/video/nfM447jbCWk/video.html
Now 98 i remember that i was with my uncle and we went to a store i don´t remember what we were looking for and then i saw The King Of Fighters 98 game,i was like please buy it buy it and he said,i will buy it because you´re my favourite nephew,awww and we end to love that game.99 is a good game specially dreamcast version that has extras on strikers side,2000 jeeeeesus so much freedom to do crazy things with strikers wich is the one we also love.2001 the gameplay is excelent,the intro...............nope,the music.........nope,the stages and gameplay are so good tough,2002 same,awesome gameplay,music ok not that good,but then they did a Dream Match with 98 Unlimited Match and 2002 Unlimited match,98 is a good one so no need to do a dream match but still 98um is so damn good,remember when i said that 2002 nope in intro and soundtrack? you will be surprised with 2002um they put so much love into the soundtrack,the gameplay is the same as original 2002 wich is perfect,the soundtrack and stages,jeeeeesus one of the best.Like and new sub for this,i love kof saga,grettings from Argentina.
You guys should do Max Payne 3 all cutscenes reaction! The game is very good, and the voice acting is great.
That’s a franchise we need to look into 😅
Mai Shiranui or Mai Boobanui as I like to sometimes call her is what was known as a Kunoichi which was a female ninja that used seduction to overcome her enemies
One of the people that worked on SF2 went to SNK and worked on KOF. If any of that's wrong someone can correct me.
Kyo Kusanagi is the face of most of the franchise. K' was the next attempt at a face of the franchise but as cool as he is he didn't really take over the franchise. Ash became the face of the franchise for a while unti he was killed off. He was then revived in the 15th game. He's like an anti-hero.
Qué recuerdos….. el video de todo fan de Kof esperaba
What an interesting Compilation, nice Reaction.
Say, how about doing all Openings for either BlazBlue or Guilty Gear at some point? I know I recommend that before.
Yes but we love/need reminders from time to time as we have a lot of recommendations 😅 we will have more guilty gear coming with the music but the intros would be cool as well
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames I see, well I have been recommending a Particular Video that’s presenting all those Intros, in the Comment Sections of all of those Guilty Gear Themes Videos, just so you know.
they didn't add the actual Kof 15 opening for some reason. czcams.com/video/ySXQHEh0kBA/video.htmlsi=DozypwRPPAmCnoSl
Weird game lol announcer sounded drunk 😂😂
Right? 😆
You might make fun of K Dash for looking Emo in that one intro, but considering he was messed with genetically to be like the series main and had his memories surpressed, I think he is allowed to be a little bit emo.
The Top Cheapest Fighting Game Bosses will give a few context to some of your questions.
My top:
3) KOF 96
2) KOF '01
1) KOF 98
Can you react KOF 98 Ultimate match super moves next friday?
We can add it to our request list 🤗
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames please do, classic fighting games 2d got great super moves.😊
If you guys want to learn more about the KOF story I recommend Thorgi's Arcade videos on the KOF series. He made videos on Fatal Fury (which you should watch first since it helps set up the world of the king of fighters) and did a series of all of the main line king of fighters' games. The videos are really long, but they go very in-depth with the story, development, and the company that created the games. That is how I would recommend getting into the king of fighters series since KOF 15 doesn't have a story mode. It has an arcade latter with a few cutscenes in between and multiple team endings, but only one ending is really cannon.
Arcade mode and PS2
Just sneaking this in 😂, you guys need to watch Prepare To Cry - Age of the stars (elden ring). I think you'd find it upmost interesting lore wise👋🏻
32:11
Kof 95 4:47👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
BRAZIL IS HERE
they should react to EVOLUTION of GODZILLA'S ATOMIC BREATH: Comparison (1954-2021)
Will add it to our request list 🙂
You should react to the King Of Fighters Retrospective by Thorgi’s Arcade. They cover a great amount of information and are good videos
Let's react to the Climaxes of Kof XV
Ken and Befinie, can you both please react or watch to the shoriyu gaming KOF Lore videos? It covers all the stories of KOF from start to the XV, to know little bit insight of KOF story lines because to me KOF XIII is epic and yes its not just the love story what Ken said, so can you, Please?
@6:30
Your Welcome.
Imho the 98 UM opening is my favorite in the series.
Faltaron los snk vs capcom
Dang. Always seems like there is at least one missing from these. This was the longest and newest compilation we could find 🤗
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames sigan así, mucho éxito
Did you hear the unfortunate news of Akira Toriyama's death?
8:40 actually he is a taekwondo master.
Mai is pronounced like the "my" (possessive pronoun) in English.
You miss the KoF 15 anime intro, is way better.
They left out the animated intro for KOF XV.
Kof 96 best music ever, esaka is god.
The real first kof IS FATAL FURY KING OF FIGHTER
Can you play the new season of invasions in mk1
I recommend the openings of Persona from 1996 to 2024
Fav character?
