- Tizoc, or the Griffon , was one of the most memorable characters of Garou: Mark of the Wolves. He became playable for the first time in KOF by joining the Fatal Fury team in 2003. But starting from KOF XIV, he suddenly disappeared, leaving his place to another figure known as King of Dinosaurs.

Even if no one believes KOD when he says he isn’t Tizoc, I still gotta respect his dedication to upholding kayfabe. He’s an absolute legend, through and through.
The bird mask was only canon for 3 months
@V. S. Werejester Super Wholesome.
It makes him more likeable. Tbf I like Tizoc/KOD even if he's still Tizoc despite he keeps saying he isn't which clearly everyone knows that's him
Maybe as additional data: When Tizoc used Griffon mask, he was in technical category. After adopt King of Dinosaurs identity, he is in rudes cathegory (Mexican catehgories).
and when he is wearing pink cat mask he enters hentai kategory
So using wrestling jargon, he's a face as Tizoc and as King of Dinosaurs, he's a heel.
Great job with Tizoc/Dinosaur, Shoryugame! He’s a great and funny character. I know some people didn’t like his change into a dinosaur theme’d mask but I actually like it.
That's why I like how his intro with Terry in XV explains the switch. Nicely handled SNK
Fun fact.
The Griffon/Tizoc was going to be playable in the cancelled *KOF Maximum Impact Regulation A 2*
Makes me wonder what kind of alternate costumes he would have had 🤔
Love Tizoc/Dinosaur's devotion. Quickly became one of my favourite KOF characters. Thanks for the video
Glad you enjoyed it!
*Tizoc* from Garou MOTW/KOF is a Character that was an SNK Counterpart of Namco's *King* from the "Tekken" Franchise, even both they're Background Stories are very similar,
But it's Sad to see that Tizoc has followed the same Path as *Armor King II* of becoming a Heel.
In one of the Tekken games my favorite pro wrestler Minoru Suzuki actually did the mo cap.
why is that sad to see?
@@maxanderson3733 Tizoc becoming a "Heel" is gonna make him even more of a Glorified Jobber just like Raiden/Big Bear from the "Fatal Fury" series,
Think of like *Rey Mysterio* in WWE, he was always forever the "Face" and never will turn into a "Heel."
Tizoc/Griffin is even more likeable as heel KoD in XIV and XV ngl
The way Fatal Fury characters reponded him, how he is so dedicated to his character because obvious wrestling persona and how his teammate adore him
Man i love him when everybody greet him "yo Griffin" and he trying so hard to brush off with "コラァアア！" (literally just "CUT IT OUT!")
I love the moment in the non canon KOF manga when Clark take off Tizoc mask and reveal his identity. Clark had a chance to win the fight but he chose to do that instead because Clark is his fanboy lol
We need a Tizoc vs King of Dinosaurs storyline. Kinda like King vs Armor King from Tekken. Imagine TK X KOF and we somehow get Tizoc & King of Dinosaurs vs King & Armor King
So which identity will the wrestler have to go with? And who's gonna take the mantle of the other identity he would abandon?
I would love to see Marduk and Tizoc/Dinosaur to have a manly handshake.
I know you don't do the manga lore because its not canon but i think as videos separate from the main ones you should cover the events of the various kof mangas and any other non canon media from the series. Im sure many people like myself aren't familiar at all with what happens in that stuff and would be interested to know more about their favorite characters.
Thanks for the suggestion! I'll keep it in mind.
totally love the idea!
if tidbits from the manga could be included, this video should add Clark fanboying to Tizoc in their match. it's one of my favorite fight next to Ryo vs Shun Ei
My only problem with Dinosaur is that he's still being called Tizoc all the time
And me being a huge Tizoc fan, SNK's just jingling keys in my face saying "did you like Tizoc? The cool looking bird wrestler? Too bad! He's a dinosaur now"
I just want my Tizoc back T^T I want my hero back
Hopefully he comes back in Garou 2
@@therush420 GOOD NEWS
The reason why Tizoc was demoted to comedian character and became Dinosaur because as a respect for the Aztec deity named Tizoc 🦖🦖🦖🦖🦖
The reason why Tizoc became KOD is because of Yasuyuki Oda.
In an interview where he was talking about the development of KOF XIV
Oda said, he wanted a comic relief character with a dinosaur theme in the game so he looked at The Griffon/Tizoc and thought he was a funny character so that's why he decided to make him the KOD and make him a comic relief character
Tizoc wasn't an aztec deity, he was the seventh tlatoani (king) of Tenochtitlan (ancient Mexico)
Also, "Tizoc" was the name of a character portrayed by the famous mexican actor, Pedro Infante, in a pretty old mexican movie "Tizoc, Amor Indio"
It's be really cool if we could get both Dinosaur and Griffon as seperate characters on the roster, so you could pick your preferred playstyle between classic and new. They would still both be Tizoc if course
It would be more plausible if the man behind both wrestler personas decides to pass on one of his wrestling personas to a protege.
Tizoc: A very interesting character!
Maybe a "Full Story of Mai Shiranui"? Often she is reduced to her appearance + romance with Andy and there's more to her than that.
what's more to say about her? I like Mai, and she is very popular and everything, but... SNK never properly developed her. She did nothing in the Fatal Fury games and much less in KOF timeline.
Why? Unlike Chun li or Morrigan from Capcom, Mai has no backstory whatsoever... At least not that i know of, and i've been playing since her first appearance in FF2
He’s stated before he can’t do Mai because there’s so little to work with.
Unfortunately, there isn't more to her than her appearance and love interest lol
What a Mexican who dresses up as a dinosaur :O
KoD is the only one character in KoF where i cheers any players using him. There's just something fascinating seeing KoD plays. it's really like seeing your heroes fight against bad guys. i think the Tizoc persona sticks with KoD somehow.
I'll admit it, I didn't suspect that Tizoc and The King of Dinosaurs were actually one person..... until I saw Antonov's fantasy ending😂. Thanks for the video as always🎮.
How
@@o_oro-q1k I don't know how, I guess Tizoc fooled me🎮.
There are plenty of wrestling characters in fighting games, but to me the two who embody the wrestling spirit most are Tizoc and King II from Tekken. They both have great stories and watching them do what they do best is always a treat.
Unpopular opinion but I actually love the change to King of Dinosaurs from Tizoc, works better for me.
Hey, me too!
This character instantly became a Favorite of mine and one of my mains in the Games.
However the King of DINOSAURS Persona is my FAVORITE. Just the fact it's a BIG GOOFY DINOSAUR and I love how he Changed his look to keep the Legend of TIZOC Alive. I love characters that think about the Children and their Hopes.
Tizoc is one of my favourite grapplers and the few ones I use in a fighting game in general
Thanks for making a video on tizoc and king of dinosaur I really wanted to know the story of King of dinosaur thank you for making this video
My pleasure 😊
I always like Tizoc/Dinosaur even his VA also voiced Marco in Garou since they share the same VA but he looks good in that suit (as seen in his Garou ending)
"You, wrestlers, are all a bunch of phonies who just show off. Only Tizoc was the real deal!" -Isla
If only she knew what lies beneath the mask of KOD...
Tizoc the Griffin!
I remember that chapter in the non canon KOF New Beginnings manga. Clark VS The King of Dinosaurs.
The funniest fight 😂🤣
Let's get more videos like this! Do one for Gato or Rock. Hell, B.Jenet should be next!
I would agree of Tizoc/KOD are very interesting characters and yeah like everyone knows that's literally Tizoc even if it's KOD. Still I'm surprised that Angel was the one who convinced KOD and Ramon to join KOF XIV with her. At first I thought it was Ramon guess not. I really like B.Jenet how when she convinced fighters like KOD and Rock she invites them to the Pao Pao Cafe to celebrate and she did the exact same thing with Rock which is another reason why I love her. Anyways awesome video as always. I really like your videos especially the kof lore of these cool characters. I am curious, which character lore will you do next?
Hi WinterIce.
What a surprise to see you here!
Fun fact.

What 3 fighters would you use to fight all of them in one try?
Unlike most people, I really can't tell whether I like Tizoc or KOD more. I love them both.
Fun fact: King of Dinosaurs wasnt born out of lore, but necessity. According to Yasuyuki Oda, they had to cut corners in KOFXIV... and to do so, one method was to limit facial animations on 3 characters namely Tizoc/KOD, Mian and Kukri. Which explains why Kukri's face is mainly a silhouette, Mian wears a mask (mostly) and KOD's limited facial animations.
Huge fan of the research you put into these videos
Thank you!
Great video. Love KOD. I hope he gets an alternate costume from SNK.
I hope so too
I love his personality in the games haha so fun.
This is art imitates life, he's a wrestler that just changed his gimmick like how undertaker changed to America badass undertaker, or hulk Hogan change to NWO Hogan, or Razor Ramon to Scott hall (RIP). that's all he did n I find that very cool that it shows that the developers understand wrestling and they change their gimmicks change to evolve as a wrestler.
I love Tizoc / King of Dinosaurs He is My Favourite SNK Wrestler
I like the whole heel & babyface persona changes it's cool definitely something you would see in actual pro wrestling I don't think this concept has been used in any other fighting games in terms of wrestler characters
Tizoc. Now and forever!
Awesome Lore.
Thank you! 😄
Hey Shoryugames, the trailer for the south town team for kof15 got released. I think you’ll deeply enjoy the trailer.
Tizoc/King Dinosaur is easily my favorite KOF fighters of all time due to his unique appearance and moveset. Though it's obvious King Dinosaur has replaced Tizoc in recent KOF games, it would be nice to see Tizoc return one day and the loop hole SNK could do is that someone else takes on the Griffin mantle. 🦅🦖
Or we get a genderswap version of King Dinosaur with Queen of Megafauna who is a female luchador wearing either a Woolly Mammoth 🦣 or Giant Ground Sloth mask. 🦥
Finally a breath of fresh air character.
If SNK and Capcom ever collaborate again, I need to see Tizoc/Dinasaurs meet Zangief, for some reason I believe they probably will become good friends XD and goofiest of teams.
I would love it if they team him up with Raiden
He doesn’t want to disappoint the kids
Tizoc is a really unique grappler. I am good with such characters. I hope I get to play as him one day.
Funny he's like Raiden. He's a good guy without the mask. A heel with the mask on
They're clearly two different characters. Tizoc has a beak, KoD has teeth. See? Different.
One of the best freaking characters in all of King of fighters
VIVA MEXICO!!!!!!!!🇲🇽
USA
Hopefully Tizoc returns this time to make Team Mexico more aesthetic than that shitty dinosaur gimmick.
Great video! Even though he wasn't known anymore as Tizoc, I'm glad they re-introduced King of Dinosaurs back into KOF. Now that he, Gato, B. Jenet and Rock are also back in KOF, I hope will eventually get the whole Mark of the Wolves cast back into the spotlight.
Same here!
Job well done as usual
Hope to see history videos on rock or gato in he future
Hope so too
Great Video 👍
Thanks 👍
Could you maybe do a top 10 of the strongest characters according to the lore? You might be the most qualified person to do something like this
The list will consist mainly of bosses.
@@ShoryuGame it shall still be exciting to see
KOD should train Jin Fuha to become Tizoc 2 so we can have both of them
Every time I see King of Dinosaurs, He reminds me of Saurhead from the Obscured Nintendo DS game Fossil Fighters because they both have dinosaur masks. And Saurhead wears 30 of them at the same time. (Sigh, I miss Tizoc).
When I met either one of these wrestlers, I'll just hug Tizoc or King of Dinosaur.
king of dinasour for kof all star
Tizoc/Dinosaur is the MAN!
I would make Tizoc and King of Dinosaurs master and student masked wrestlers. That Tizoc was killed by Nelson and King of Dinosaurs want to take revenge against Nelson for his master. However the Verse supernatural disaster prevents him from attempting to kill Nelson. Realizing that killing Nelson wouldn’t bring back his master and decide to save him from the wrathful Verse. Nelson thanks King of Dinosaurs and decide to apologize for accidentally killing his master. And King of Dinosaurs decides to forgive him. As the South American team were killed except for Nelson and decide to par ways. This gain Ramon’s respect for being a kind hearted wrestler but this also loses Angels respect for bloodlust because she wanted to see some blood on Nelson. And reunited with K9999 under a new identity Krohnen.
The Dinosaur is fun but Tizoc is sicker
I got one of my friends into kof and he loves kod but he kicks my ass with him. If tizoc comes back i am screwed
He should have a debut in KOF allstar as well
Tizoc would make a fine Smash Bros. Assist Trophy.
God I love this character 😂💚
We got the confirmation Griffon gonna comeback in the next kof!!
I have a theory on Tizoc/King of Dinos:
SNK actually researched on Inca culture and wanted to complete wrestler designs based loosely on the Divine Trilogy of Beasts: Snake, Condor and Jaguar.
Snake is King of Dinosaurs (reptile)
Condor is Tizoc (avian)
Jaguar? Why it's King of Tekken of course.
La cultura inca es de Perú así que tú comentario no tiene sentido de México son los aztecas y los mayas
Finally some lore vids
Amazing video as always good sir
So nice of you
Before I knew GMOTW, I thought Tizoc was part human and part bird, turns out he’s a lucha libre. I first saw this character in the KOFIII gallery (the Mobile Version before I had a console and new to fighting games) and then I thought the cast of GMOTW gonna be the different to other KOF games, you know, a pirate, a serious kung fu fighter, and a bird-looking wrestler. When there’s an update regarding the rollback netcode going to be added, I decided to make content about this game since it’s underrated for me at least.
Great Character I'm still waiting on a video about LIN from Benimaru Team ,
Nelson was my favorite character in kof14 and Tizoc in Mark of Garou. It's unfortunate that a lot of people hated team brazil in 14 and Tizoc got a change, allegedly because of Nelson lol. I still hope those 2 can return in 15.
Tizoc costume future dlc kof xv
I thought about it but what are they gonna do about the attacks using the tail?
Tizoc went from Técnico to Rudo
SNK could do a wrestling video game about the GAW so many cool characters
Raiden & Big Bear VS The Griffon & King of Dinosaurs ... Which Tag Tem would win?
Hey Shoryugames, I have a idea for a video for a what if scenario. What if Krizaild was successful in activating the Kyo clones after beating k’ and his group?
Cool idea! Thanks for the suggestion.
@ShoryuGame thanks and don’t mention it man!
king of dinasour for kof all star
I liked him as a hawk
Tizoc persona is soooo much better.
Please do a video essay on King 👑 and armor King 👑 from Tekken please
I miss the Original Tizoc
:)
MAH BOI TIZOC YUSSSSSSSSSS
Nice fun video 😄
Thank you 🤗
A SALT A RAPTAAAAAAA
Ángel recruited them I thought it was ramon
Dinosaur is not Tizoc. He doesn't even have feathers!
The fact that there has been palentological evidence of feathered dinosaurs means that there is some basis in using feathers for the KOD gimmick.
In kof manga clark take the kod mask and under the kod mask he still wearing the tizoc mask
To me they are two different characters, because I like Tizoc but not Dinosaur, so... waiting for Tizoc to come back some day
Dinosaur is griffin younger brother
can you make videos about grant and cain?
Dinosaur
*they r the same???*
I can't believe K.O.D killed Tizoc,he was my hero
Real talk tho,i like K.O.D,but Tizoc is the man..or griffon
do a story on KOF 14 nakorurus team
KOD keeping kayfabe like any good wrestler...
It's pronounced "TIE-ZOC" as the character clearly says in the game.
LU-CHA-SAU-RUS!
*clap clap clap-clap-clap*
are you brazilian?
BIG FALL!!!!!!!
Why did they make Dinosaur so pale
Griffin! I just hate the dinosaur tail.
