For those who don’t know. Preecha, the new character, was actually the female Muay Thai character that was only seen as an unused sprite for Garou 2 before the sequel was cancelled back in the 2000’s and according to the devs they said she’s a student of Joe Higashi.
Preecha is more so the concept rather than the character from the canceled Garou 2. The original character was named "Kuan", and she had short black hair and athletic pants.
Instead of 'Anime-inspired' visuals, this feels more like 'Manga-inspired' visuals, where they use background and other effects to add to the sense of motion etc. I like it.
SNK has some of the best poster boys in the genre, imo. They really feel like fully realized characters rather than the obligatory standard dudes you learn the games through.
I mean, Tizoc appeared in KoF 2003, he became King of the Dinosaurs in XIV. I think the story says that he switched from being a Face to a Heel, or should I say he went from being a Técnico to a Rudo, he's supposed to be Mexican after all
Man as an old school Fatal Fury fan I’m extremely excited. I’ve literally been waiting 25 years for a Garou sequel and I’m loving everything I’m seeing from this trailer. I LOVE the art style and the gameplay looks really fun. Man one more year sigh.
Would’ve preferred a real bout style gameplay I prefer the way those games played over mark of the wolves but either way I’m just happy to get anything fatal fury
@@Dracobyte funnily enough, Kamina's Japanese VA has voiced Maxima from KoF since his first appearance. Meanwhile, Joe used to be voiced by Nobuyuki Hiyama, Viral's VA, from Fatal Fury 3 to KoF XIII and also voiced Gai Tendo in Buriki One and KoF XI
Max saying he’s not a big snk guy has to be the biggest twist of the century for me. Dude, I got introduced to this channel by seeing him react to Terry getting added to smash many years back, and judging how he reacted to that he made it seem like he was such a big kof/fatal fury fan!

There were some unused sprites that got leaked out some time ago that looked to have come from the cancelled MotW Neo Geo sequel that had the same move. Nice to see that they're bringing in that stuff now.

Fatal Fury: Terry's series. He beats Geese, and then beats him again and adopts his now orphaned son. Art of Fighting: Ryo and co. series that takes place within the same universe as Fatal Fury. I believe it's a prequel seeing as the Geese there is Young Geese. King of Fighters: Weird ass crossover between FF, AoF, and some other SNK properties as well as a host of original characters.

Also despite the tournaments at least up to KoF11 happening yearly (11 skipped 2004 and came out in 2005), none of the characters seem to age whatsoever. Also 1998 and 2002 are "Dream Matches" that have damn near every character up to that point in it and aren't canon despite having a Year associated with them when that was a thing. Simple, right? EDIT: Also 12 is a thing. It's a Dream Match too, but not for the same reasons as 98 and 02. Those were essentially breaks between arcs. 12 is literally a beta for 13, existing solely to put out a game to buy time for 13 to be finished. It's canon is even more questionable than the other Dream Match games, though at least this doesn't have a year tied to it.
KOF XV established the multiverse. Geese is alive in the KOF reality because Real Bout doesn't happen in that timeline. Fatal Fury 1&2 happen in the KOF timeline with '94 taking place shortly after. That is where events diverge.
KoF is basically an All-star or Crossover series in the same vein as the Capcom vs. games. the difference is the original characters in KoF ended up having their own lore up till KoF15.
Man, I missed Tizoc. I can see that high pitched whine that sounds every single time you hit someone using Rev, sometimes multiple times in the same attack, becoming an audible problem eventually.
Never played a KOF or Fatal Fury. I loved playing Terry (and the SF shotos) in Smash so much it actually inspired me seek out FGs. I’m excited for this game.
What's more is that the English cast are experienced VAs. Rock's English voice actor is Griffin Puatu who did Bosch of Street Fighter 6 and Seox of Granblue Versus, and Hotaru's voice actress is Suzie Yeung who did YuffIe from FF7R and Fuuka from Persona 3 Reload.
Right? First time since like 2006 I've heard English voices in this series, although it was King of Fighters (I'm new to this so idrk the difference between KOF and FF)
While Path of the Warrior: Art of Fighting does have some impressive rotoscoped animation, the way the characters look and animate in that game always looked kind of off to me. In my opinion Mark of the Wolves and The Last Blade I & II had the best sprite work of all the Neo-Geo fighting games. Waku Waku 7 and Rage of the Dragons also have some impressive animations despite not being made by SNK and the first 3 Metal Slug games are very expressive as well.
Clicked on this the second the notification showed up. I've been waiting forever for this game to FINALLY happen. Rock is Max's favorite but I'm here for The Legendary Hungry Wolf himself Terry Frickin' Bogard. I love the Cel-Shaded Comic Book-esque artstyle, very gorgeous-looking. Terry finally speaking in an American accent. That intro with Terry fighting Geese in a Fatal Fury 1 arcade cabinet was so awesome and than the second trailer playing to the unforgettable sound of Terry's Garou theme song (best Garou theme period) was so bada@$. 17:03 = Terry regains Raising Tackle after it was shockingly taken away from him in Garou, hell yeah! Joe's daughter in the game maybe? I know that Andy & Joe are in the game as they were featured with Terry in a previous preview last year but sucks they don't show up in these trailers and still no hint if Mai might also show up. I hope that Rock now using Power Geyser doesn't mean that Terry can't use it anymore, they better not take Power Geyser away from Terry just as they did with Raising Tackle in the previous game. But we gotta wait until 2025 to finally play this??? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO😭
Even the subtitle for the first Fatal Fury game was The King of Fighters and some artwork features Terry's hat with the words "King of the Fighters" instead of Fatal Fury. Heck, in the original Mark of the Wolves, Kain organizes a new King of the Fighters tournament under the subtitle Maximum Mayhem
This looks phenomenal, the art style and stage shown feel very much like you want it to when thinking of a new Garou/FF game and the gameplay shown already makes me want to play it. If they can somehow combine the rosters of Garou and Real Bout 2 it'll be an absolute smash hit. Freeman when?
I was hoping that since we had Geese in Tekken 7 we would get Rock in 8, but I didn't expect a whole Fatal Fury game to fulfill my Rock Howard addiction
It’s cool that it looks like it’ll have an English dub. While I’ll probably stick with the Japanese voices since that’s what I’m used to, it’s cool to see they got a budget for a dub.
@@ΚρανίΩ Gato was introduced in Mark of the Wolves, while every Fatal Fury character besides Terry wasn’t even in it, and since this is a direct sequel to that instead of Fatal Fury as a whole, Gato will be in
Really loooking forward to more Maximum Impact characters appearing, esp Luise Meyrink, Nagase, Alba Meira, any of the Beart sisters and Duke. I take Lien Neville too, just cuz her playstyle is entertaining with her zoning tools, tho I dunno how well that would translate to 2D.
Love the art direction! And another new fighting game has entered the mix…wonder if KOF 15 will have 1 last season before this comes out or it’s all hands on deck for this game?
I'll never hold out hope for it, but would love to see some of the MI exclusive character make their way to other games. Feel like this would be the easiest transition for them since it was also set in South Town. They weren't great/good games, but were a lot of fun, and would love to see some love from them.
I think that ship sailed since they decided to introduce alien stuff in MI2 and Fatal Fury was a More "grounded" story, MI1 would fit perfectly well but the sequel ruined that
Yeah, that's understandable, I feel like it's more of a nostalgia trip for me. Some characters could be easier (Chae Lim), but that slot would more than likely go to an already existing character if they choose to fill it (Jae and/or Dong)@@000mjd
I like how this trailer is basically a remake of the first Guilty Gear Strive trailer: Just the two main character rivals going at it while the game's theme song plays.
Wow this is way better than I thought it was going to be. I am extremely impressed, despite not generally being a thick lined cel shading fan. Hyped ✌️
Actually Samurai Shodown 64 looked and played good for its time. And that's an actual 3D fighter not a 2.5D one. Much better than that PS1 SamSho game they made, Warrior's Rage or whatever it was called. It's too bad they lost the source code which is why they couldn't port it. Was some pretty interesting gameplay elements in that game like stage transitions
Samsho looked pretty well too, people still dont understand how hard it's to make a fg with big rosters and have a good visuals at the same time that it's the biggest problem with KOF series
When Max did his Terry Legacy years ago, I commented on each and every video with factoids about Fatal Fury and related SNK franchises like Art of Fighting and King of Fighters. In this vid, Max pretty much hit the nail on the head about SNK's history with FF and KOF. The first FF game was known as "Fatal Fury: King of Fighters". As the subtitle states, the tournament is called "The King of Fighters". The Art of Fighting series is a prequel to FF, taking place 10 years prior to FF1. Art of Fighting 2 had a younger Geese Howard orchestrate the very first KOF tourney. After Fatal Fury Special (a update to FF2 but technically non-canon), we got King of Fighters '94. Originally intended to be a crossover between FF and AOF, SNK decided to throw in other series like Athena, Ikari Warriors, as well as some original characters exclusive to KOF like Kyo Kusanagi. After KOF '95, no one ages so SNK can keep using these characters without having to worry about aging them up too much (some cases like Rock Howard are weird). Fatal Fury games kept coming out, but Garou: Mark of the Wolves* was the last game. There didn't seem to be more stories to tell with Art of Fighting (evident by AOF3's...odd plot imo) but there was definitely more stories to tell at the end of MotW. As I'm sure most of you know, there WAS supposed to be a Garou 2 but the game got cancelled. Now, here we are. * It's supposed to be called "Fatal Fury: Mark of the Wolves", but someone on the localization team messed up. In Japan, Fatal Fury is known as "Garou Densetsu" or "Legend of the Hungry Wolf". Interestingly, one of the newbies to CotW is Preecha. She could be a retooled version of "Kuan Konta" who was Joe Higashi's apprentice in the cancelled version of Garou 2. Kuan Konta also made a cameo appearance in KOF 12, so... Maybe they're separate people still? So for those who love KOF, you owe it all to Fatal Fury and Art of Fighting. I for one am super happy to finally see a new Fatal Fury game after 20 years~
Also if i remember well i think in an interview Snk also said a new Art of Fighting is on the works, if that's true i hope it is a 3d fighter like Tekken, not only it would be a nice shakeup and experiment but also it would be nice to have more fighting games like those these days considering Soul Calibur fate rn is unknown, tho i heard rumors it might be more of a beat them up or a bit like Yakuza soo we will wait and see
They're pretty different other than both being muay thai girls. The original had short dark hair, dark skin, no glasses and wore long orange pants with a white tube top.
@maninredhelm Yeah, but if you ever look up concept art for characters, you'll see that some of them go through radically different designs before finally settling on the one they chose. What I'm saying is they might have further redesigned the character after that version, though there's no way to know for sure unless they say so.
oh cool art style look really good with the hard shadow and i love the way they did the filter when they use super and stuff it like Persona 3 reload UI that overlay and be on background to make characters looks more pop too and oh Muay Thai Girl? alight i'm in
Rock saw Jin jacking his style and came back to show him how to properly flex the energy wings, SNK made that effect look incredible as it rightfully should.
Personally, I hate the semi realistic art direction and the choice of rap as music for Street Fighter 6. the artistic and musical direction of this new Fatal Fury should have been the one chosen for Street Fighter 6.
SF6 artstyle grew on me slowly, but initially I didn't like how everything seemed to jump to a super realistic version. As for the music, I do like the beats, it's something different from hard rock in every fighting game. I'm gonna be honest, I think fighting games should have a variety of music instead of just rock/metal for every song. Anarchy Reigns/Max Anarchy is the best example I can think of for this. Anyway, some of the character themes just didn't appeal to me, so I just played with the stage themes. Honestly I'm just kinda disappointed with how SF6 was handled. Balance wise it hasn't been out for a year yet, so I'm expecting characters to be stupid, but I don't really like how so many moves are safe when the game is teaching you to punish counter enemy moves, or some characters jabs stopping throws when others can't. I cant train against DLC fighters unless I buy them, even though the game is $60+, so the only way to train is gambling your rank points, hoping they know what theyre doing in Player match and then dont winquit, or find someone in Battle Hub (which in my current living situation, I cant really do). Next, I'm not against Modern controls, I think they can exist since not everyone wants to sweat or play super hard, but I domt think it's fair that people can perform reaction moves or combo tech with less effort than Classic players. Like the game just feels like it's not really teaching people anything. Not even my fictional queen Chun Li can keep me interested in the game. But this game just looks amazing all the way through, and I've never played Fatal Fury or KOF before. I'm prepared to train to enjoy it Edit: Oh yeah. SF6 tiny roster of the AAA fighting games and slow content (unless it's for the goofy avatars) also is disappointing
@@ameerrusdi2540 I hate rap from the bottom of my being, it's a musical style towards which I have nothing but contempt and hatred. I just have to hear it to get a migraine, headaches and my stress and my tension to rise so whether it's Street Fighter 6 or 3 it's the same shitty music that's inaudible and unbearable for me. Unpopular opinion: Street Fighter 5 has the best OST of the entire franchise after Street Fighter 2.
SNK: "We didn't want Max turning our character's whips into Mountain Dew again, so instead of silhouettes we decided to just drop a bunch characters on St. Patrick's Day without warning".
Eh...so far the English VAs aren't bad...but I'll probably always prefer the Japanese seiyuu. I've heard them more often and when it comes to Joe his seiyuu is well known and usually the go to guy for hot blooded male characters. I hope Preecha isn't replacing Joe...no shade at her, she looks cool and it's a new take on Joe's tornado attacks but Joe is one of my favorite characters in Fatal Fury and KOF.
Joe wasn’t in Mark of the Wolves, outside of Terry, every character in that game was new blood, whether it be kids or students of old Fatal Fury characters or just new in general, and since this is more a direct sequel to that then just Fatal Fury as a whole, then yeah, she would be filling in for Joe, just like Kim’s kids filled in for him or Hokutomaru filled in for Andy and Mai. There was supposed to be a girl who did Joe stuff in the original canceled sequel to Mark of the Wolves, so it’s not a new idea.
@@landonhulett2119 That’s fair, I was just saying with how MotW was, I wouldn’t be surprised if Terry was still the only OG returning (granted I guess Rock is also OG being a 25 year old character)
Fatal Fury to me was always a needle mover for SNK. From the classic Garou trilogy to Real Bout, Fatal Fury always has that distinct art style and fighting system like the Desperation Move, 2- line stages gimmick, some form of attack cancels, and I dare say having a punch, kick, and strong attack buttons way before modern fighters ever thinking of simplify the attack chain.
For those who don’t know. Preecha, the new character, was actually the female Muay Thai character that was only seen as an unused sprite for Garou 2 before the sequel was cancelled back in the 2000’s and according to the devs they said she’s a student of Joe Higashi.
Thanks for this man! 🙌
Awesome!
damn finally playable after like 24 years, what a journey
YES! :D That means that each of the main crew now has apprentices.
Terry = Rock
Andy/Mai = Hokutomaru
Joe = Preecha
Preecha is more so the concept rather than the character from the canceled Garou 2.
The original character was named "Kuan", and she had short black hair and athletic pants.
I just love how everyone's immediate reaction to the New Fatal Fury trailer is "Oh geez Max is gonna go wild over this" hahaha.
"Gonna take you for a ride."
They knew Rock was your favorite, Max.
MvC2 BOIS!

To be honest, I was scared that SNK might have also applied the Dinosaur persona into Fatal Fury/Garou as well.

Tizoc is a better design to me.

13:09 Interesting fact. In the Art of Fighting series Geese organized the very first KoF tournament and Ryo won it.

Art of Fighting: Ryo and co. series that takes place within the same universe as Fatal Fury. I believe it's a prequel seeing as the Geese there is Young Geese.

KOF XV established the multiverse. Geese is alive in the KOF reality because Real Bout doesn't happen in that timeline. Fatal Fury 1&2 happen in the KOF timeline with '94 taking place shortly after. That is where events diverge.
Not only that, the Dream Match games for KOF have characters that are canonically dead in the roster.
ART OF FIGHTING takes place in 1978
FATAL FURY is 10 years later
KoF is basically an All-star or Crossover series in the same vein as the Capcom vs. games. the difference is the original characters in KoF ended up having their own lore up till KoF15.
24:15 You can see when he starts to melt lol
Like his eyes witness the Second coming of our Lord
he is just disappointed. maybe it's not the graphics. it's the art style that preventing a realistic graphics
@@prrithwirajbarman8389 Oh don't worry about it, that is NOT disappointment
Man, I missed Tizoc.
I can see that high pitched whine that sounds every single time you hit someone using Rev, sometimes multiple times in the same attack, becoming an audible problem eventually.
There could be a sound option for it, maybe a legacy garou one
The artstyle is top tier.
It reminds me of Shinkiro's art works!
Kinda reminds me of when I first saw SF4's artstyle but better.
Never played a KOF or Fatal Fury. I loved playing Terry (and the SF shotos) in Smash so much it actually inspired me seek out FGs. I’m excited for this game.
Same here and I got Garou for cheap on PS4 after Terry was put in Smash and it's really fun and looks great highly recommend.
It looks like they took note from marvel 3 used the cel shaded art style
Fatal Fury is back with English Dub?! Awesome!
And it's actually good this time. The last time Fatal Fury had a good English dub was those three OVAs. Remember those?
What's more is that the English cast are experienced VAs. Rock's English voice actor is Griffin Puatu who did Bosch of Street Fighter 6 and Seox of Granblue Versus, and Hotaru's voice actress is Suzie Yeung who did YuffIe from FF7R and Fuuka from Persona 3 Reload.
Right? First time since like 2006 I've heard English voices in this series, although it was King of Fighters (I'm new to this so idrk the difference between KOF and FF)
@@isaaccooper862 Think Marvel comics versus MCU, uses same characters, but aren’t the same continuity.
@@Void_OutWould FF be like the Marvel Comics and KOF like the MCU? Or vice versa?
This game is BEAUTIFUL and im glad its garou getting this treatment, i hope that whole iconic cool ass roster comes back
Will Mai, Joe, Kim and Andy be in it or are they hiding in retirement again
It looks freakin sweet! Love the art style.
I love how meaty the sound design is. That alone really might convince me to play it.
Can't wait for Jae Hoon and Dong Hwan to join the roster!
Kim says not unti they finish their homework
Actually, in deeper circles Art of Fighting 3 is considered the pinnacle oif 2D pixel art by SNK. There's a new AOF game in development, can't wait!!!
While Path of the Warrior: Art of Fighting does have some impressive rotoscoped animation, the way the characters look and animate in that game always looked kind of off to me. In my opinion Mark of the Wolves and The Last Blade I & II had the best sprite work of all the Neo-Geo fighting games. Waku Waku 7 and Rage of the Dragons also have some impressive animations despite not being made by SNK and the first 3 Metal Slug games are very expressive as well.
Art of fighting was mid tho
Clicked on this the second the notification showed up. I've been waiting forever for this game to FINALLY happen. Rock is Max's favorite but I'm here for The Legendary Hungry Wolf himself Terry Frickin' Bogard.
I love the Cel-Shaded Comic Book-esque artstyle, very gorgeous-looking. Terry finally speaking in an American accent. That intro with Terry fighting Geese in a Fatal Fury 1 arcade cabinet was so awesome and than the second trailer playing to the unforgettable sound of Terry's Garou theme song (best Garou theme period) was so bada@$. 17:03 = Terry regains Raising Tackle after it was shockingly taken away from him in Garou, hell yeah! Joe's daughter in the game maybe? I know that Andy & Joe are in the game as they were featured with Terry in a previous preview last year but sucks they don't show up in these trailers and still no hint if Mai might also show up. I hope that Rock now using Power Geyser doesn't mean that Terry can't use it anymore, they better not take Power Geyser away from Terry just as they did with Raising Tackle in the previous game.
But we gotta wait until 2025 to finally play this??? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO😭
Hey Max. The 1st Fatal Fury is where the king of fighters tournament originated from but at the time it was a 1 vs 1 fighter.
Even the subtitle for the first Fatal Fury game was The King of Fighters and some artwork features Terry's hat with the words "King of the Fighters" instead of Fatal Fury. Heck, in the original Mark of the Wolves, Kain organizes a new King of the Fighters tournament under the subtitle Maximum Mayhem
This looks phenomenal, the art style and stage shown feel very much like you want it to when thinking of a new Garou/FF game and the gameplay shown already makes me want to play it. If they can somehow combine the rosters of Garou and Real Bout 2 it'll be an absolute smash hit. Freeman when?
Good call on SNK for making the visuals more stylized and flashy, it'll make the game age much better than their previous 3d games for sure
I was hoping that since we had Geese in Tekken 7 we would get Rock in 8, but I didn't expect a whole Fatal Fury game to fulfill my Rock Howard addiction
I'm really glad developers suddenly remembered that cell shading with heavy black shadows looks really good
It’s cool that it looks like it’ll have an English dub. While I’ll probably stick with the Japanese voices since that’s what I’m used to, it’s cool to see they got a budget for a dub.
I’m liking how it looks, also the music in this trailer is cool. Never played a fatal fury but this new one so far is looking sweet 💫
They better bring Gato!!!
They definitely will. Gato is one of the most popular characters of fatal fury.
@@toledochristianmatthew9919joe replacement would beg to differ joe is like top 5 most popular at worst
@@ΚρανίΩ Gato was introduced in Mark of the Wolves, while every Fatal Fury character besides Terry wasn’t even in it, and since this is a direct sequel to that instead of Fatal Fury as a whole, Gato will be in
@@Void_Outwe might get blind gato like garou 1 ending for him
Geto Suguru 😴
Best way to describe it would be that KOF is the smash bros of snk IPs
I always loved the broken glass hit spark of mov. Glad to see it come back.
Dude, Imagine Maximum Impact Mai and Mr. Karate (Ryo) in this artstyle😮😮😮
Really loooking forward to more Maximum Impact characters appearing, esp Luise Meyrink, Nagase, Alba Meira, any of the Beart sisters and Duke. I take Lien Neville too, just cuz her playstyle is entertaining with her zoning tools, tho I dunno how well that would translate to 2D.
I don't see any differences . They are just only changing lighting and effects. Artstyle is same as it was in samurai shodown and kof15
@@prrithwirajbarman8389 you are blind
@@Evilriku13NO THANK YOU
If only other companies could do the same thing SNK is doing with its fighting games franchises. I'm looking at you, Capcom.
I realsed later too that it was in english, not just Terry's english with a japaneese accent 😂
Love the art direction!
And another new fighting game has entered the mix…wonder if KOF 15 will have 1 last season before this comes out or it’s all hands on deck for this game?
I recently got KOF XV and love it. This looks like a day one series X purchase. This looks really good.
This game looks sick!!
I love how they couldn't decide on whether to give Terry the rising tackle or power dunk so they combined them.
We all have been waiting for this!
Wow excited for this. It's been a long time for this series.
I've been waiting for a new Fatal Fury game for so long. I'm so glad to be able to witness this
That music makes feel like im back in the 90's.
I'll never hold out hope for it, but would love to see some of the MI exclusive character make their way to other games. Feel like this would be the easiest transition for them since it was also set in South Town. They weren't great/good games, but were a lot of fun, and would love to see some love from them.
NO THANKS
I think that ship sailed since they decided to introduce alien stuff in MI2 and Fatal Fury was a More "grounded" story, MI1 would fit perfectly well but the sequel ruined that
Yeah, that's understandable, I feel like it's more of a nostalgia trip for me. Some characters could be easier (Chae Lim), but that slot would more than likely go to an already existing character if they choose to fill it (Jae and/or Dong)@@000mjd
Shout out to the Voice actor of Hotaru is also the same voice of Yuffie!
I like how this trailer is basically a remake of the first Guilty Gear Strive trailer: Just the two main character rivals going at it while the game's theme song plays.
I need a full version of that song
WE'RE SO FUCKING BACK BABYYYYYYYYYY
Wow this is way better than I thought it was going to be. I am extremely impressed, despite not generally being a thick lined cel shading fan. Hyped ✌️
Never have I ever clicked so fast in a notification before 🤣
The super activations are CLEAN
The animation is PHENOMENAL
SNK FINALLY made a 3D game that looks great
models and artstyle is nice for sure, kof15 was already pretty nice. but damn SNK lack in special effects for moves for their 3d games.
Too much fast 3D effects. They will run away from your eyes before you even notice.
More like 2.5D
Actually Samurai Shodown 64 looked and played good for its time. And that's an actual 3D fighter not a 2.5D one. Much better than that PS1 SamSho game they made, Warrior's Rage or whatever it was called.
It's too bad they lost the source code which is why they couldn't port it.
Was some pretty interesting gameplay elements in that game like stage transitions
Samsho looked pretty well too, people still dont understand how hard it's to make a fg with big rosters and have a good visuals at the same time that it's the biggest problem with KOF series
It’s been a very long time since I played a fatal fury game I can’t wait looks great 💯💪🏿👍🏿
Fun fact Preecha is a Thai name but it is usually used for boys
Snk gave their female character a guy name they always being doing that lmao
@@ameerrusdi2540yeah King.
continuing the king legacy
SNK must link their tomboy girls, makes me think of King. How come there's no tomgirl characters though?
@@isaaccooper862 snk always like do tomboy girl with guy name like angel king now preecha lmao
When Max did his Terry Legacy years ago, I commented on each and every video with factoids about Fatal Fury and related SNK franchises like Art of Fighting and King of Fighters. In this vid, Max pretty much hit the nail on the head about SNK's history with FF and KOF.
The first FF game was known as "Fatal Fury: King of Fighters". As the subtitle states, the tournament is called "The King of Fighters". The Art of Fighting series is a prequel to FF, taking place 10 years prior to FF1. Art of Fighting 2 had a younger Geese Howard orchestrate the very first KOF tourney.
After Fatal Fury Special (a update to FF2 but technically non-canon), we got King of Fighters '94. Originally intended to be a crossover between FF and AOF, SNK decided to throw in other series like Athena, Ikari Warriors, as well as some original characters exclusive to KOF like Kyo Kusanagi. After KOF '95, no one ages so SNK can keep using these characters without having to worry about aging them up too much (some cases like Rock Howard are weird).
Fatal Fury games kept coming out, but Garou: Mark of the Wolves* was the last game. There didn't seem to be more stories to tell with Art of Fighting (evident by AOF3's...odd plot imo) but there was definitely more stories to tell at the end of MotW. As I'm sure most of you know, there WAS supposed to be a Garou 2 but the game got cancelled. Now, here we are.
* It's supposed to be called "Fatal Fury: Mark of the Wolves", but someone on the localization team messed up. In Japan, Fatal Fury is known as "Garou Densetsu" or "Legend of the Hungry Wolf".
Interestingly, one of the newbies to CotW is Preecha. She could be a retooled version of "Kuan Konta" who was Joe Higashi's apprentice in the cancelled version of Garou 2. Kuan Konta also made a cameo appearance in KOF 12, so... Maybe they're separate people still?
So for those who love KOF, you owe it all to Fatal Fury and Art of Fighting. I for one am super happy to finally see a new Fatal Fury game after 20 years~
Also if i remember well i think in an interview Snk also said a new Art of Fighting is on the works, if that's true i hope it is a 3d fighter like Tekken, not only it would be a nice shakeup and experiment but also it would be nice to have more fighting games like those these days considering Soul Calibur fate rn is unknown, tho i heard rumors it might be more of a beat them up or a bit like Yakuza soo we will wait and see
Can’t wait to see Kim’s sons and other characters like Neil, Kein or Grant
I instantly heared Max's "Leeeeeeeets Go"
2025 is a long time i still wonder where is Virtual Fighter from Sega
Max! Get rid of these bots!!!!!!!!!!! Do whatever you can!
The Terry legacy is making a comeback!!
SNK IS KILLING IT!!!
How so?

@@513gposey all their games have been awesome
I'm sorry did Terance do an angled Rising Taco into a Dunk?... Never before have i wanted something so much but never known until i received it.
Rock did a Power Gyser 😳
The “take you for a ride” gave me flashbacks to the Marvel Vs Capcom 2 character select music
I think she might have been that girl from the Garou 2 leak, but if it is, then they changed her a bit.
They're pretty different other than both being muay thai girls. The original had short dark hair, dark skin, no glasses and wore long orange pants with a white tube top.
@maninredhelm Yeah, but if you ever look up concept art for characters, you'll see that some of them go through radically different designs before finally settling on the one they chose. What I'm saying is they might have further redesigned the character after that version, though there's no way to know for sure unless they say so.
oh cool art style look really good with the hard shadow and i love the way they did the filter when they use super and stuff it like Persona 3 reload UI that overlay and be on background to make characters looks more pop too
and oh Muay Thai Girl? alight i'm in
Seeing this trailer, I really want to play Garou now
It’s one of the greatest fighting games ever
And much better looking than this slop
@@redcomet0079 while I do think that the pixel art sprites in the original are better, I think this game's graphics are also awesome
Rock saw Jin jacking his style and came back to show him how to properly flex the energy wings, SNK made that effect look incredible as it rightfully should.
Little stuff for the channel Max
Honestly this looks much more fun than Street Fighter 6, this might have to be my intro to the SNKniverse
Sf6 is fun but man the game feel too slow because of the animation
Personally, I hate the semi realistic art direction and the choice of rap as music for Street Fighter 6.
the artistic and musical direction of this new Fatal Fury should have been the one chosen for Street Fighter 6.
@@Alexcobra861 man sf6 ost is just not good they try too copy SF 3 ost but didn't do good job of it
SF6 artstyle grew on me slowly, but initially I didn't like how everything seemed to jump to a super realistic version. As for the music, I do like the beats, it's something different from hard rock in every fighting game. I'm gonna be honest, I think fighting games should have a variety of music instead of just rock/metal for every song. Anarchy Reigns/Max Anarchy is the best example I can think of for this. Anyway, some of the character themes just didn't appeal to me, so I just played with the stage themes.
Honestly I'm just kinda disappointed with how SF6 was handled. Balance wise it hasn't been out for a year yet, so I'm expecting characters to be stupid, but I don't really like how so many moves are safe when the game is teaching you to punish counter enemy moves, or some characters jabs stopping throws when others can't. I cant train against DLC fighters unless I buy them, even though the game is $60+, so the only way to train is gambling your rank points, hoping they know what theyre doing in Player match and then dont winquit, or find someone in Battle Hub (which in my current living situation, I cant really do). Next, I'm not against Modern controls, I think they can exist since not everyone wants to sweat or play super hard, but I domt think it's fair that people can perform reaction moves or combo tech with less effort than Classic players. Like the game just feels like it's not really teaching people anything.
Not even my fictional queen Chun Li can keep me interested in the game. But this game just looks amazing all the way through, and I've never played Fatal Fury or KOF before. I'm prepared to train to enjoy it
Edit: Oh yeah. SF6 tiny roster of the AAA fighting games and slow content (unless it's for the goofy avatars) also is disappointing
@@ameerrusdi2540 I hate rap from the bottom of my being, it's a musical style towards which I have nothing but contempt and hatred. I just have to hear it to get a migraine, headaches and my stress and my tension to rise so whether it's Street Fighter 6 or 3 it's the same shitty music that's inaudible and unbearable for me.
Unpopular opinion: Street Fighter 5 has the best OST of the entire franchise after Street Fighter 2.
Holy crap, they gave Rock Howard Buzzsaw from Young Geese in Art of Fighting 2
I think KOF XIII is the pinacle of SNK 2D animation and spritework. There has been no SNK game that looked better than that game.
Well, the game was sadly too beautiful, considering they almost went bankrupt because of it.
SNK: "We didn't want Max turning our character's whips into Mountain Dew again, so instead of silhouettes we decided to just drop a bunch characters on St. Patrick's Day without warning".
Yamazaki Please! 🙏 🤩
God damn SNK with the arcsys level visuals this time around
Eh...so far the English VAs aren't bad...but I'll probably always prefer the Japanese seiyuu. I've heard them more often and when it comes to Joe his seiyuu is well known and usually the go to guy for hot blooded male characters. I hope Preecha isn't replacing Joe...no shade at her, she looks cool and it's a new take on Joe's tornado attacks but Joe is one of my favorite characters in Fatal Fury and KOF.
Joe wasn’t in Mark of the Wolves, outside of Terry, every character in that game was new blood, whether it be kids or students of old Fatal Fury characters or just new in general, and since this is more a direct sequel to that then just Fatal Fury as a whole, then yeah, she would be filling in for Joe, just like Kim’s kids filled in for him or Hokutomaru filled in for Andy and Mai.
There was supposed to be a girl who did Joe stuff in the original canceled sequel to Mark of the Wolves, so it’s not a new idea.
@@Void_Out In the teaser, we heard voices of Andy, Billy, and Mai so it's possible for them to be playable alongside Joe.
@@landonhulett2119 That’s fair, I was just saying with how MotW was, I wouldn’t be surprised if Terry was still the only OG returning (granted I guess Rock is also OG being a 25 year old character)
Fatal Fury to me was always a needle mover for SNK. From the classic Garou trilogy to Real Bout, Fatal Fury always has that distinct art style and fighting system like the Desperation Move, 2- line stages gimmick, some form of attack cancels, and I dare say having a punch, kick, and strong attack buttons way before modern fighters ever thinking of simplify the attack chain.
