Something to note about the '97 Orochi Team. Their move sets are mirror complements to the Japan Hero Team. Chris fights like Kyo, Shermie has abilities similar to Benimaru and Seishiro is a grappler like Daimon.
That series was underrated in my opinion. Maximum Impact 2 was a great game. Maximum Impact Regulation A is still being played competitive of South America.
Yo I share the same idea about Saiki. When he grabs people, it takes so much time for him to finish. Great video. Always adding a twist to things. Unique. I get to your videos as soon as they drop. Thanks for this.
Happy someone gave Luise some love in this list. "The ancestor of Ash Crimson was presented as an awful individual with a punchable face." Truer words cannot be more accurate about Saiki. Still can't forgive him for what happened to Mukai in XIII.
Shion is probably my favorite sub-boss. He's just...a boss that breaks so many boundaries in terms of what you expect from him. He's of relatively small stature, standing at 5'2". He's extremely thin and frail. His neutral stance is not very expressive at all despite wielding a spear. My first reaction, given my experience in previous games and the fact that I used Gato, was that of surprise. I get why he uses the spear, he's so small. Cue the moment he uses his super where he leaps into the air and breaks falling stone debris with a single *kick*. Then proceeds to assail you with all manner of Wu Shu weaponry before absolutely devastating you with bare-handed attacks of blinding speed. And that theme of his is just intense! Shion is truly a memorable sub-boss who received such pitifully little screentime. Alongside Jhun, Gato, Malin, and Silber, I definitely want to see Shion's design revisited. It's going to be a tall order though. As you mentioned, Shion's animations were absolutely beautiful. It's going to be hard to bring Shion back with the same level of impact. Not only did Shion animate extremely well, his weapons animated incredibly on its 2-dimensional medium. That spear, for example, appeared so realistic due to how flexible the handle was and how responsive the red tassle was to Shion's movements. It's going to be pretty hard to achieve that fluid effect with 3-d graphics.
@@Gstunfisk exactly, which is why I don't fault people using "she" on Shion at all because it was so last-minute, and iirc in the lore Shion is still regarded as Ron's "daughter".
Good list! But there's something I should say about KOF 2000's Kula Boss. See, she's technically both a Mid-Boss AND a Sub-Boss. Depending on how well you play and how many Ability Points you have, you may fight Kula after 3-4 fights (a Mid-Boss) or you may fight her JUST before you fight (Clone) Zero (a Sub-Boss). She has a bit of a strange requirement though. For Default Teams, you need at least 240 points. For the Benimaru Team, you need at least 220 points. Finally, for an Edit Team, you need at least 300 points BUT you *cannot* have Kula on your team. Now, I can understand why you need different points between Default Teams and Edit Teams. With the Edit team, you can likely pick strong characters and thus get to Kula easily, so the Devs likely wanted to make it a little harder to fight her if you choose this... But I have no idea why Benimaru's Team has a 20 point deduction for being able to fight Kula. lol It's not all that bad, to be honest. Fighting Kula is always easy and you have multiple chances to fight her. It just has to be before you fight the Final Boss.
@@WikiHL Axctually, Zero from 2000 is always the final boss. It is like Alex said, Kula is both, as depending on how well you perform, she appears as early as stage 4, or as late as stage 7(?), while Stage 8 is always the final boss one. And if you dont perform as suitable enough as the game wants you to, Kula doesnt appear at all. It really is a unique case with KoF 2000.
I like the battle against Luise in KOF Maximum Impact 2 She is probably one of the strongest female fighters in KOF. The music what plays during the fight is one of my favorites too. I would like to see Luise in KOF XV The Maximum Impact series is really underrated.
My ranking: #1. Saisyu Bonus point for being the first one, to begin with. Plus what a shock it was to discover that Kyo had a badass father who does everything Kyo does... but 100x cooler! Really wish Saisyu could come back. He was one of the funniest characters to play in 98UM! #2. Antonov Love his look, love his attacks, love his personnality. He screams "I'm the freakin" boss" while not being too caricatural. Also it's nice to have a boss who isn't a super dark villain, for once. Plus as you said, after the bunch of ultra feminine new characters introduced in the Ash era, it was nice to go back to some manly attitude. Love Antonov, hope he'll stick around! #3. Orochi Team What to say that you haven't said already? Iconic team, iconic stage(s), iconic fight. #4. Luise Meyrink Criminally underrated, as much of the Maximum Impact characters. She's one of the most beautiful KOF women, both to look at and to witness in action. Her attacks are the perfect reflect of her beauty and elegance. And she really brought something interesting to the Story mode. #5. '96 Boss Team Although I'm tired of Geese, I cannot resist the badassness of a team that includes the two evil brothers. Plus Krauser and Mr.Big are so cool I can't put this team lower. #6. Shion Not that great of a character, but yeah, his fighting style (or should we say "styleS"?) is both beautiful and incredibly fun! #7. Original Zero Decent villain. #8. Shizuru Works better as a regular character #9. Saiki A bit too cheap. #10. Maki Well... Shizuru again.
Krauser is underrated as a boss visually, like he just radiates raw power and dignity in a way that's a really nice contrast with Geese who gives off more of a vibe of mastery, and skill imo.
Great ending! It has been so long since I've heard that Orochi Team theme song i actually got chills lol. I remember how surprised my friends and I were when that team suddenly came back as the sub-bosses. Me especially since i had mastered basic Yashiro, but didn't know i could access his alt form by holding down the button. Plus their moveset was awesome! I would love to see Shione in a new game, and maybe he can have a rivalry with Billy Kane or other weapon users? Looks forward to seeing the Ikari Warriors videos Shoryu. Merry Christmas!
My friend everything you seem to do is made of gold. How you always seem to help me learn something new ,every time I see a video of yours. Thank you so much keep up the great work
I don't know if he counts, but I really, really like Kusanagi (the red eyed clone of Kyo with a darker skin and different voice actor), I don't know why, maybe it's because I like evil versions of main protagonist better than their original counterparts (like I do with Jin from Tekken and Ryu from Street Fighter), maybe it's his ambiguous and mysterious backstory, that seemed to have been retconned, maybe it's his attitude and references to the Akira movie, maybe it's all of them combined, but if there's any character I'd want to see return, it's him, just for his gameplay alone, as he's my favorite version of Kyo playstyle-wise, who I usually main anyways, not to mention seeing his interactions with Kyo and the rest of the cast would be fascinating to say the least.
I knew from the start it was the Orochi Team, that was out of blue in the game and surprised me at the arcade when I first played KOF97, I personally hate/love their moveset. I love using them but I hate them as sub bosses because of their moveset.
Didn't expect to see Luise Meyrink on this list but it's good to see Maximum impact being mentioned I still think Snk should bring her and the Meira brothers back plus a few others
If you played when you were like 6 to 8 years old like me, then nothing beats 94 Rugal & 95 Saisyu. The music alone was scary enough. At 96 is when KOF started to soften so much no boss has delivered any pressure, maybe a little from Krizalid.
I want to wish u a merry Christmas and happy new year.. I know that it is not Christmas but I really want to wish it for u. U have a great man who make great king of fighter content :)
It's not obvious, but Saiki uses his time stop powers when he grabs you (the background becomes monochromatic). To the grabbed opponent he was simply grabbed and punched one time. He also didn't transform originally. He got that ability from Magaki (after the corpse was stolen in KOF XI). Same with the earth abilities he exhibited after killing Mukai.
Yo Sho, I would like to see a lore video on Heidern. He's enigmatic, but is a major figure in the background of the games' stories. Plus, it's fitting to examine him after Ralf and Clark.
Luise: a Touhou character in KoF Chizuru is my personal favorite though. Badass cool "mix'and'match both fighting and magic" lady is a character trait I always welcome, so Luise, Shermie, and Chizuru are all at the top to me. Although I wonder what Goenitz's stage would've looked like if it was in the same location as the Orochi team's.
Aww man I just got kof 2006 it’s called Kof maximum impact 2 outside North America I really like ninon bearth she’s pretty cool I was blown away by how good the gameplay is
I freaking love The Orochi Team and have wall scrolls of them hanging up. Yup, I love all three of them that much. They each have very unique fighting styles, and when they switch to Orochi Mode, call it quits because they will kill you. Plus let's face it - the ladies LOVE Yashiro (myself included) and the guys LOVE Shermie (you should see some of the posts made from men about her on Social Media good grief).... But dude...when you got to Saiki and said "I REALLY HATE THIS GUY!!!!" I laughed so hard because you really meant that 4 real 😂😂😂. Enjoyed the video, your expert comments, and the fact that CYS was #1. Yashiro!!!!!!😘🥰😘
I love your videos! My two favourites Kofs are on top with their subosses. I wonder, if you had to make the list in terms of the strongest, how would that been? Are Shion and Saiki the strongest ones?
Imagine if KOF 15 will be a super true celebration of this series and will include EVERY SINGLE BOSS AND SUB BOSS FROM PAST GAMES and it has a mode called BOSS RUSH where you fight em BACK TO BACK TO BACK
Can we get a lore video about Benimaru? And my favorite sub boss would be the orochi team as well since they are more skill than cheap and since they have cool stages that match their element type
I was just talking about KoF ect last night and soo glad this vid is a more detailed version of some of the stuff I was speaking about. "Here's a tip about Shion" lol The theme for the new faces is super memorable since it's like every other track in 2002. Since you're talking about the Ikari Warriors (they have their own game) how about talking a bit more about Mai Shiranui or the USA team who get very little shine?
5:50 I hate this guy 5:58 "I hate this guy." Well I guess everyone can agree that we all hate Saiki. Stupid command grab breaks the pace more than Krizalid's counter. And you forgot to mention his most humiliating attack where he traps you in black goo and then picks up and throws a rock at you. A ROCK. Fortunately Maxima is one of my mains in XIII, and he can cheese Saiki by command grabbing him over and over. I loved the subtle jokes throughout the video like Chizuru being the weaker sister, but having an unforgiving AI. The best one was the Orochi team where you say that they are challenging but fair which is rare in the series lol. I personally think that Shion should have been in the top 3 in terms of memorability. Say what you want about his gender and looks, but you cannot deny that he is the most well-animated character in the series down to his walking animation. No one in KoF XIII even comes close to that much detail. Not to mention the Spear/Rope-Dart/Bare-handed fighting style was also unique for him. I want him back. Either revive him into KoF XV, or say that Magaki pulled him into the Samurai Shodown universe. Bring him back with the same level of animation if not more than what he had in XI. Ikari Warriors coming soon yay! As for the next character...Might as well finish the rest of the Ikari team with Heidern. But if you're planning to do the midboss video soon, then I would prioritize the Bernstein family next only because I'm an Adelheid fanboy.
Zero I gonna be my number 1 sub boss because it so hard and the skill and design it so cool like the dark power and he have a side kick like his pet and other like Ron...
Something to note about the '97 Orochi Team. Their move sets are mirror complements to the Japan Hero Team. Chris fights like Kyo, Shermie has abilities similar to Benimaru and Seishiro is a grappler like Daimon.

Character is really female, they just changed it last minute for engagement. So I would treat the character as female, just like how SNK intended

If only those jackasses confirmed him as a female that would've been a relief.

I think a lore video on the story of Garou/brief history of some of its characters would be a good idea

And you forgot to mention his most humiliating attack where he traps you in black goo and then picks up and throws a rock at you. A ROCK. Fortunately Maxima is one of my mains in XIII, and he can cheese Saiki by command grabbing him over and over.
I loved the subtle jokes throughout the video like Chizuru being the weaker sister, but having an unforgiving AI. The best one was the Orochi team where you say that they are challenging but fair which is rare in the series lol.
I personally think that Shion should have been in the top 3 in terms of memorability. Say what you want about his gender and looks, but you cannot deny that he is the most well-animated character in the series down to his walking animation. No one in KoF XIII even comes close to that much detail. Not to mention the Spear/Rope-Dart/Bare-handed fighting style was also unique for him. I want him back. Either revive him into KoF XV, or say that Magaki pulled him into the Samurai Shodown universe. Bring him back with the same level of animation if not more than what he had in XI.
Ikari Warriors coming soon yay! As for the next character...Might as well finish the rest of the Ikari team with Heidern. But if you're planning to do the midboss video soon, then I would prioritize the Bernstein family next only because I'm an Adelheid fanboy.
How are they going to revive him if he is not even dead? See the last scene in the KoF XIII story mode.
My favorite sub bosses so far are Chizuru and Shion and Maki.
Please do Kensou too!
Kula was the main reason i loved kof series
Zero I gonna be my number 1 sub boss because it so hard and the skill and design it so cool like the dark power and he have a side kick like his pet and other like Ron...
Kept waiting for Adelheid. Disappointed.
He was a "fake" final boss in 2003 and a mid-boss in XI. He was never a sub-boss.
he deserves a spot somewhere...
cant wait for kof 15
Oh can you do :
Andy Bogard
Robert Garcia
Mai Shiranui
Blue Mary
It would make sense if shion would be in samurai show down. Like what if Magaki threw shion to the samurai universe like it makes total sense.
12:25 it's very nostalgic
Favorites: Original Zero, New Faces Team, Saiki, Maki, Bosses Team (honorific mention: Orochi Iori)/ Don't Like: Xion.
Antonov is my favorite King Of Fighter organizer
Please finish the videos about the stories of the remaining characters :)
I want a Host Team as a Sub-Bosses in KOF 15, & their Members are Antonov, Adelhied, Chizuru.
In 97' dad's team freaking Saisyu and Heidern was ridiculous! Of course Iori was
98
Make video about nameless please
If u use mr.karate, saiki is the easiest sub bosses in kof series, just spam the shoran kyaku.
ShoryuGame Im gonna need you to get a playstation emulator and a copy of KOF 97. The Orichi Team was nuts even on level 4
I played a lot of KOF 97 on my PS1. I think only Yashiro was hard, Chris and Shermie had easy to exploit AIs.
The oroichi team is hear to beat so thay are my fabarat
Two Chizaru's?
This just makes me want a sacred treasures team.
Also Antonov for a team please.
Also Saiki sucks
Sacred Treasures *was* an official entry in 2003; you just needed a code to select Chizuru.
Opening in Awe I agree.Fuck the Crimson family.
@@TonyTheTGR Sacred treasure team were also playable in 97 and 98
I like to play as his human form.
Chizuru* The other chick is Maki; the original possessor of the Yata Mirror, and more proficient with their art.
Shion is very fit for samurai showdown like geralt of rivia for soul calibur. And i'm not kidding.
