Fun Fact: you can totally manipulate Orochi Shermie's Unmei no Ya's landing by pressing A+4 and C+6 in alternative order, before the lightning appears on screen. It always works. "Curiosidades de Clark Kane" has a video showcasing that trick... on Vanilla 2002. Not sure if it works on UM
There was a urban legend in my hometown when the first arcade machines of KOF 2002 arrived: they said that during the Athena HSDM there was a secret input that might reveal her completely naked 😂, we all were trying and trying different combinations to get the desired result lol, good times.
Mai Shiranui has my favorite HSDM It is very stylish and shows Mai's personality. She is a cool kunoichi but she is also a fanservice lady, and she embraces it! That is one of the reasons why I like Mai, there aren't many female characters as bold as her (Maybe Shermie and Kisarah Westfield) 🥰 Bless the developer who came up with that Desperation Move for Mai!
The fact that he straight up stopped an orbital strike with just his energy is sick as hell. Not only because of his strength but think about how fast he had to react to do that.
If regular Takuma using his Lion Killer while protecting the mother of a Kyokugen heir can stop an orbital satellite's beam... Imagine what a Serious Mister Karate can do after being given a strong motivation!
This is why a KOF anime should’ve happened. Can you imagine these supers on TV? Yeah, Dragon Ball wishes it had that much potential. I still want SNK to make one, but with weak animation like in Fatal Fury OVAs, Dragon Ball, Sailor Moon, the first 5 seasons of Pokémon, etc., at least in the Orochi Saga (which is what they did in a Pachinko cutscene). Then for the NESTS saga, then the animation can be Pokémon season 6-9, Gintama, Dragon Ball Z, Mega Man NT warrior, etc. Doing the anime with today’s animation wouldn’t feel the same.
About Kyo and Athena's HSDMs, those moves actually came from KOF 2001 And don't forget that most of the HSDMs in 2002UM came from vanilla 2002 You can say all about the 'Eolith era' of KOF but it gave us amazing and unique Supers, most of these became really iconic and returned in future games. So yeah, Thank you Eolith! 😄👍
My best-looking HSDM is from Foxy. It's like she is going to sacrifice herself in the name of the team. And she goes singing a lullaby. I can't deny it's sad. But in the same time, it's beautiful.
Fun fact about the Kusanagis Zero Mushiki hsdm, it's way more effective in the vanilla 02 cause it can be cancelled into a combo finisher and has a ridiculous amount of damage. Same goes for Ioris HSDM which is cancellable in the vanilla but not in the UM (also it looks better in the vanilla). Also, great video, now do the same for the most visually stunning game ever, KOF XIII and its neo max supers.
If I recall correctly, Kyo didn't use Mushiki in Nests because it was extremely taxing on his body to do so, considering in 99 and 2000 he was still recovering from Nest's experiments (and Mushiki returned in 2003 onwards)
My opinions of each entry: #10. If we are only talking about presentation, this HSDM is a 10/10 👏👏👏 Besides that...yeah her HSDM is like a meme at this point 😅 Also, '02 Orochi Shermie is her best look! 😍 She looks really gorgeous with dark skin 🥰 #9. (Looking at the command input) That is pretty much a Tekken move 😅 #8. Probably the most MUGEN-like Super in the game. Besides Ron, Igret (Ragnagard) is another fighting game character who has a technique where she can separate the soul of the body of the opponent. Ragnagard is now owned by SNK #7. The most memorable thing about Kusanagi's HSDM is the line he says when he does it *Gouka no maede...MU NI KIERE!!!* ("By the inferno...VANISH INTO NOTHING!!!") Seriously, Kusanagi's voice is the reason why I like him. He has a lot of personality, hope he returns one day #6. At least K' has Crimson Star Road in KOFMI2 and MI Regulation A. In those games it is a counter Super. The MI2 version being probably the deadliest Fun fact. In the KOF 2001 manhua adaptation, K' beats Igniz using Crimson Star Road. Such a cool moment 😎👎 #4. Takuma doing a Hadouho! (Space Battleship Yamato) #3. When the shota becomes a Giga Chad! Maybe that is why Sylvie Paula Paula tells Chris that he will become very handsome when he grows up
2002 UM is a game with hard choices to choose from. You also had people like, Blue Mary's HSDM, MAY LEE'S HSDM, Angel's HDSM, and others that i really enjoy very much.
The fire pillar into a flurry of after images of punches is why kyo kusanagi is the GOAT in my opinion. The guy at SNK who came up with the idea of having a move that generates a fire pillar while kyo engulf himself with flames and punching his opponent so hard and so fast that it creates an after images of himself... is a faqqing genius in my book. It may not have thousands of hits and may not look as flashier as the other ones, but it had the oomph!!...its was so satisfying to pull it off back in kof 98...if you hit confirm into Final showdown/Mushi-ki ...a guaranteed satisfaction and blissful look on your face. I just hope they bring this move back in kof 16. and i also hope they don't screw it up like they in maximum impact. They removed the after images effect and the flames engulfing kyo...which was so lame :/
Great video shoryu I’m also disappointed Yamazaki didn’t make number one he’s one of my favorites but your videos are great as always I’ve always wanted for you to make a video like this one
I didn’t know Kyo had a recovery super….dude really is versatile as hell! Great list, Shoryugame! I hope I’m not asking too much but since you asked, is it possible that we get a similar list with KOF13 or 15?
Hello , nice vid as always shoryu , i was wondering if you were gonna react to Marco (butt) reveal trailer of Garou 2 , did you see it and what did you think about it ?
Shingo's should've made it in for the mere fact it's funny as hell lol But yeah, Athena's is a show to behold. Surprised Yamazaki didn't make it either. If it were KOF 14, Ralf and Mature would immediately be on top.
I'mma just reiterate what I said in the community post. Shingo hits you so hard with the first hit of his HSDM, that he has enough time to look up the combo he's about to style on you with, underrated, just like the user.
Takuma canonically is OP as hell, but he rarely ever fights at full strength. He holds back all the time and doesn't mind being the funny elder uncle who is willing to take a backseat and let the kids run the place. Even when on his Mr Karate persona, he did not fight at full power against Ryo even when Ryo was nearly killing him. Lion Killer has enough power to deflect the Zero cannon with the firepower of a small nuclear bomb and he wasn't even in his "Serious Mr Karate" mode. Literally cracking a joke that he did that so Ryo and King will have kids together lol.
Takuma is a BAD ass, I mean y else would they put Takuma VS Akuma in SVC Chaos and make him a final boss(???) Even tho I think Akuma is a push over, Takuma is STUPID strong, most boss in the KOF unvers are trog as hell. KOF character are under rated imo, there so cool and strong.
And the major difference and advantage of Takuma? He has strength backed by mental clarity. Regular Takuma did comment on Akuma's neglect of latter's mental training.
I like all of the HSDMs from the AoF team Ex versions and how they incorporate their respective animal power. Yamazaki's shoud've been #2/3 IMO PS: I'd pick Terry's LSDM from 03 is my favorite, if you ever do that one
I know I said this last video, but it's never going to get better than Kasumi's for me. Just seeing her and her dad doing their style's signature super move together is incredibly satisfying. Of course, I was sure that Yamazaki was going to be No. 1 this time. I'm also partial to Zero and Igniz, too, but I think it's almost unfair to include boss characters, who really have to have that WOW factor by design.
What about the Nightmare Geese one? Yeah, the multiple Reppuken's! (I don't remind the name right now, but all of us know which one I'm talking about).
This video just reminded me how disappointed i was when O.Chris did not turn into Orochi in KOFXV. I really wanted to see Orochi with the latest Graphics. SF6 tried to do the same thing with Akuma's Demon Rage but at least they saved it for the end
TPE_Mitchell Lets make it even worse: Orochi actually resurrected in XIV. But the Sacred Treasures immediately killed him before he completely materialized in existence.
Well theres always SNK All Star Brawl. The entrance of the 4 Heavenly Kings and Yamazaki (in the trailer) each with their luxury vehicle was kick @$$. And then theres Orochi in his material human form hovering above them.
Bro can you make a video on the never heard characters in kof like souji kusanagi (kyo's cousin) he appeared in only kof kyo and in 98 ending pic. I bet 90% of kof fans doesn't even know of his existence
I have a question 😅 is the voice on your videos are Ai ? I don't have a problem with this, only the pronunciation of the words and the accent are a little strange to me
Hsdm was a stupid idea. We had to make moves that were difficult to do using the conventional joystick, and 90% of them are not even that cool. Man, kof 2002 was a mess. Kusanagis HSDM is Kyo-2 DM, bruh! Kof 98 still the best.
Ioris super sucks. It's so fast. You can't even see what's going, let alone enjoy it. Which doesn't suit ioris yagami at all. Awful pacing. It looks so lazy, he just refuses animations from previus games. And whats with the do. Kof 2002 vanilla super is way better
The Big,BIG problem with HSDMs from 2002UM is that all of This Are reused Sprites from other Moves from The Characters. Since SNK Bankrupt 2000, The Next KoF Titles reused a Lot of Sprites For "create" The most of HSDMs. It looks like MUGEN koF. HORRIBLE!!!.
Thats just your opinion. And the matter is subjective. Capcom has been reusing sprite animations since Darkstalkers (1994) and Children of The Atom (1994) up to Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 (2000) but they werent going bankrupt. And no one complained even though the sprites were showing their age. In fact, the Versus games sold well.
Fun Fact: you can totally manipulate Orochi Shermie's Unmei no Ya's landing by pressing A+4 and C+6 in alternative order, before the lightning appears on screen. It always works. "Curiosidades de Clark Kane" has a video showcasing that trick... on Vanilla 2002. Not sure if it works on UM
Ah yes...
I remember "Curiosidades de Clark Kent" 😄
[Insert KOF 2001 Psycho Soldier Team Theme] 🎵
Whip's HSDM be like:You Might have a Brain,but I HAVE A GUN!*Shoots*
Today is friday in california
For her neutral special, she wields a gun
Lol I knew you'd want Yamazaki at #1. Ralph should have gotten a mention. It's a fun super.
Ralf*
There was a urban legend in my hometown when the first arcade machines of KOF 2002 arrived: they said that during the Athena HSDM there was a secret input that might reveal her completely naked 😂, we all were trying and trying different combinations to get the desired result lol, good times.
No horny bonk
I do like how igniz decides to create a new universe and then destroy it just to kill you.
God givith and God taketh away
-Ignis,probably
Well, he is lovable after all.
Don't forget he Jojo Poses too
I'm sure no life was born there yet
Mai Shiranui has my favorite HSDM
It is very stylish and shows Mai's personality.
She is a cool kunoichi but she is also a fanservice lady, and she embraces it!
That is one of the reasons why I like Mai, there aren't many female characters as bold as her (Maybe Shermie and Kisarah Westfield) 🥰
Bless the developer who came up with that Desperation Move for Mai!
Takuma's Lion Killer is OP as fuck.
The fact that he straight up stopped an orbital strike with just his energy is sick as hell. Not only because of his strength but think about how fast he had to react to do that.
Unfortunately, it's outclassed by Nameless's Drill DM in every possible way (apart from aesthetics)... It's still fucking cool though
Takuma - Lion
Ryo - Dragon
Robert - Tiger
Yuri - Swallow
Marco - Bear
If regular Takuma using his Lion Killer while protecting the mother of a Kyokugen heir can stop an orbital satellite's beam...
Imagine what a Serious Mister Karate can do after being given a strong motivation!
@@DMAN99Where's Orochi Yahsiros armageddon fist? 😂 it was OP
I'm glad that Liar's Element and Cannibal Corpse are in the video, and also like God's Duster

You can say all about the 'Eolith era' of KOF but it gave us amazing and unique Supers, most of these became really iconic and returned in future games.
So yeah, Thank you Eolith! 😄👍
My best-looking HSDM is from Foxy. It's like she is going to sacrifice herself in the name of the team. And she goes singing a lullaby. I can't deny it's sad. But in the same time, it's beautiful.
I think Blue Mary's M. Infinity Rose deserves at least an honorable mention...
Athena's HDSM will always be my favorite super of all time!
Being a Baki fan, I like Takuma's HSDM since it's a direct reference to Doppo Orochi's strike that is portrayed in Shishinkai Dojo.
Fun fact about the Kusanagis Zero Mushiki hsdm, it's way more effective in the vanilla 02 cause it can be cancelled into a combo finisher and has a ridiculous amount of damage. Same goes for Ioris HSDM which is cancellable in the vanilla but not in the UM (also it looks better in the vanilla).
Also, great video, now do the same for the most visually stunning game ever, KOF XIII and its neo max supers.
Nameless' HSDM is still my favorite super in the entire series after all these years and I doubt is going to ever be topped
If I recall correctly, Kyo didn't use Mushiki in Nests because it was extremely taxing on his body to do so, considering in 99 and 2000 he was still recovering from Nest's experiments (and Mushiki returned in 2003 onwards)
I'm surprised Angel's 'People's Elbow' didn't make the list. I mean, it's based off 'The Rock!"
Exactly. With Moana 2 and the live action remake, no one wants to think of “The Rock!”.
My opinions of each entry:
#10. If we are only talking about presentation, this HSDM is a 10/10 👏👏👏
Besides that...yeah her HSDM is like a meme at this point 😅
Also, '02 Orochi Shermie is her best look! 😍
She looks really gorgeous with dark skin 🥰
#9. (Looking at the command input)
That is pretty much a Tekken move 😅
#8. Probably the most MUGEN-like Super in the game.
Besides Ron, Igret (Ragnagard) is another fighting game character who has a technique where she can separate the soul of the body of the opponent.
Ragnagard is now owned by SNK
#7. The most memorable thing about Kusanagi's HSDM is the line he says when he does it
*Gouka no maede...MU NI KIERE!!!* ("By the inferno...VANISH INTO NOTHING!!!")
Seriously, Kusanagi's voice is the reason why I like him.
He has a lot of personality, hope he returns one day
#6. At least K' has Crimson Star Road in KOFMI2 and MI Regulation A. In those games it is a counter Super.
The MI2 version being probably the deadliest
Fun fact.
In the KOF 2001 manhua adaptation, K' beats Igniz using Crimson Star Road.
Such a cool moment 😎👎
#4. Takuma doing a Hadouho!
(Space Battleship Yamato)
#3. When the shota becomes a Giga Chad!
Maybe that is why Sylvie Paula Paula tells Chris that he will become very handsome when he grows up
2002 UM is a game with hard choices to choose from. You also had people like, Blue Mary's HSDM, MAY LEE'S HSDM, Angel's HDSM, and others that i really enjoy very much.
Whip: GUN!
Terry combining Rock's move for HSDM was so fulfilling for me! I would have placed it in top 3!!
Fantastic video Shoryu! I haven't seen all of these HSDM's so I was captivated lol. These were fantastic, so thanks for posting.
Glad you like them!

Ah yes, Whip's ultimate move... A GUN lol
Lion Killer is also such a cool move, didn't know about that one!
Timeless game, i'm still having ps2 tougeki version and i'm still playing it

I found Kasumi’s HSDM spectacular to not be here. 😢
I love the video, Shoryu!
Can you do one on your Top 10/20 favorite win poses?
Thanks for the idea!
Hei Shoryu game congratulation on your 50K subscribers
Thank you so much 😀
I didn’t know Kyo had a recovery super….dude really is versatile as hell! Great list, Shoryugame! I hope I’m not asking too much but since you asked, is it possible that we get a similar list with KOF13 or 15?
Sure thing!
original zero is definitely noble enough to not just strike you once and then pull your soul out
one of my favorite bosses in design and personality
Love your video, I hope you will do other rankings in the future :D

Great list and congrat for 50K subs Shoryu. Also at 7:16 that Draw was crazy especially the character s that were used
Congrats on reaching 50K ❤
Thank you!!
Yamazaki's HDSM, sincere Shoryu, is named Yondan Drill.
I like King's fluid kicks in her HSDM

I still miss K9999's HDM.
these were weird to me back then but also exhilarating
so basically K' and Daimon taunts are HSDMs 😄
How come Daimon is not even mentioned!!
I have a question 😅
is the voice on your videos are Ai ?
I don't have a problem with this, only the pronunciation of the words and the accent are a little strange to me

Will you do KoF 13?
Yes.
Why no geonitz 😢
Only Kusanagi doesn't deserve to be on that list. it is literally a generic Kyo's super

What does UM stand for!
Unlimited Match
Ioris super sucks.
It's so fast.
You can't even see what's going, let alone enjoy it.
Which doesn't suit ioris yagami at all.
Awful pacing.

Not really, at least nameless' super is HIS and not someone else's
Not at all, Nameless is better because he's is not a shamelessly plagiarized character
other way round
