Art of fighting gave birth to my favorite king of fighters characters
People that werent around back then really missed on arcades. Just walking in and it was dark but loud as shit. Street fighter just took everything over. People lined up, putting theirquarters on the machine to show they were next. I remember the weekend they got mortal kombat. I saw subzeros fatality and it blew my mind. The xmen game, the simpsons game, gauntlet. When mortal kombat 2 came out it was a wrap. There was a pizza place right near my bus stop that had it. You would have like 20 kids in there after school.
Those were the days bro!
As an Italian, I find extremely hilarious that somebody on the other side of the world thought Garcia would sound like an Italian name
I was confused with Robert's home country. Spain, Mexico, or Italy? So I saw on SNK Fandom that he is Italian. Maybe his father's family has Spanish ancestors?
maybe influnced by italian mafia movie godfather 3 actor andy garcia
This series needs to come back in some way or form. If not a fighter then a beat em up. Also a manga or light novel
They have discussed reviving the series outside of the fighting genre.
@@austinreed7343 I know but, I doubt they cares enough about the series.
I liked AoF 3 a lot (maybe except for the roster designs), so I'd love to see a comeback as a 3D fighter, specially because Tekken is my favorite fighting game.
Art Of Fighting had some decent environments, it would be cool to see one of them in KOF XV.
Yuri's friends do show up in AOF2 actually. In her ending. I just checked Yuri's ending. They're there.
AOF2 was a great looking game and but as you guys said, it was BRUTALLY hard. I could never get past the 3rd fight, playing on level 4 in the arcade.
AI was definitely broken, probably more so than any fighting game ever but playing against another opponent I believe it is the best game of the the 3.
When I first saw Art of Fighting 3 on RUclips many years ago, I could not believe it was running on a 16-bit system - amazing!! Stunning video game.
yeah, this game is still unbelievable
The music was horrificly terrible though
Gaming history is history. Must preserve it.
Art of fighting 1 and 2 always will stay on my top best videogames history.
I LOVE Art of Fighting. I owned the very first one on SNES back in 1992. 😵💫God, that was 30 years ago. I'm getting old.
That was the first game i saw and played with those "beat down supers". i called it "grown man ass whippin supers" as kid lol I loved AOF or watching play it when i didnt have money to play. I was wowed by the bruises on the characters faces and how big the characters were too. The sound effect hits of the machine gun punches and kicks.
The neo geo was truly something special. So many amazing games that performed in such a beautiful way.
The fact that some channels says Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo started the super moves when Art of Fighting beat them by a couple of years. And if I'm guessing right, Takuma may have been one if the main characters from the SNK game Street Smart, given there is a man in gi and a blonde female that could be Ryo and Yuri's mother but they never mention what town or city they're in.
The AVGN has almost completely ignored SNK games.
This documentary is what made me become a patreon supporter a while back. Still a great video.
Many needy charities in the world that could be doing with help. Plenty of ads in this video - he’s very well funded as it is.
Just saying 🤷🏻♂️
@@shinra2755I have donated to other people that needed help.
at 5:07 you say Ryo was asked to work for Mr. Big, but it was Takuma who was asked, not Ryo.
He also claims it was difficult to use the Neo Geo's sprite scaling, when it just meant shrinking the original characters using a built-in hardware feature.
7:06 It is not a "must" to press A or B button first before you can use C button. It defaults to strong punch at the start of the round, and will switch to the strong attack version of the last pressed weak attack button.
8:11 You only need to hold down either A button or B button to charge the spirit bar, not both at the same time. For KOF series, you have to press all three A+B+C buttons.
Merci nabil 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪
You and shoryugames are the only SNK channels I watch. Good stuff👌🏻
Check out basement brothers. You are in for a treat. They have a mission to go through all neo geo games ever released for the aes with in depth documentation of every game. A must watch!
@@patrikfernstrom7607 im definitely going to look for this. There can never be enough material over the rich history of SNK fighting games!
I feel like if they did with AoF3 like they did with SF3 and released updates to it, it would’ve had a different outcome and opinion about it in the long run.
Thank you for making a doc about my favorite fightingame of all time!
I think if SNK were to continue this franchise as of now, the best way would be to team up with Sega and retell the story in a Yakuza style game.
That's a brillian idea. An AOF fighting is obviously out of the question right now. The only snk fighter that we will get besides KOF and Samsho is Fatal Fury.
@@NeoGeoNow fully agreed. I can't wait to see what is in store for Fatal Fury.
I'm thinking on the Yakuza styled AOF game, they could do like a "Story of Southtown" franchise that starts in the AOF timeline and goes all the way through the Fatal Fury timeline and it has carry over events so the things you affected while playing through AOF are still affected as you play through the Fatal Fury timeline. For instance, if you're fighting Jack Turner in the Kyokugen dojo in the AOF Southtown Story, when you come back to the dojo as the Fatal Fury cast, you still see some damages that were done to the building that havent been repaired or forgotten over the time. Of course Geese would go from the young geese version to the modern geese. Still in the Yakuza/Shenmue style. Southtown Saga: AOF and Southtown Saga: FF would be great
@@MarkLoweCEO yeah, i mean aof has aways been an revolutionary franchise and i think that's a great idea too due to the fact that there's no one seen a new aof fighting game coming anytime soon (i keep the hopes on that btw)
Even Geese Howard was young at one time lol! I get a kick out of how he lets out that "ooohhh!!" scream when he gets knocked down in AOF2 LOL!
Needs to be a remake or new AOF game.
Or just give them a better plot in KOF
I once played Art of Fighting 3 in the auditorium on my laptop before the start of class.
So glad to have found your channel, this is top-tier content!
Your videos are very good and enjoyable.
Small Trivia: In the CM of AoF2, the girl on the screen for a brief moment, who plays Yuri is Ayumi Hamasaki, who will become the queen of J-pop some years later
Great overview and history. Thank you.
Thank you for this
Quality documentary brother. 👍🏼
Great video 👍
Great documentary. As a SNK games lover, getting to know the character's original draft designs makes my day.
By the way in the AoF2 TV commercial at 22:54, the female who portrayed Yuri is Ayumi Hamasaki (浜崎あゆみ). More commonly known as ayu, she later became a popular music artist and still currently has a huge influence on today's J-POP industry.
This movie is such a part of me but ironically I didn’t even realize that it had traveled with me for all these years.
Great doc man... thanks. Art of Fighting is still one of my favorites :). Still play them too. Just recently went through the collection to beat 1 and 2 lol 😆.
You have great content! Watch your videos remember my good old times with my snk fans friends in 90's! And better, I can understand your english! Keep going! Greetings from Brazil.
Gracias por el excelente documental. Uno de mis juegos favoritos de mi infancia .
Cool channel man, as a neo geo fan and mvs owner with 25+ original games I appreciate the detail you go into in your videos. Art of fighting 1 was playable in my local fish and chip shop back in 92, it was amazing back then with zooming and massive sprites. I own all three art of fightings on mvs and also use mister fpag to play neo geo games these days. Just subscribed to your channel now keep up the good work 👍
1:58 "Ryo Ko No Ken" actually translates to "Dragon and Tiger Fists/Fighting Style"
Nah,,,, it means Ryo is not Ken,,, he just looks like him. Orange martial art suit blonde hair
Loved the Art of fighting series and team to use
I played it on SNES first, I remember I couldn't believe how big the characters were.
Art Of Fighting 2 was a game my friends used to play a lot when I was a kid.
I hope the make part 4 with same graphics this game is legend
Great video. Thank you for the history lesson. 👺
Art of fighting it's really art i really love it i played it when i was 7 years ago till now at 22 years old 😍😍
Jack looks a lot like pro wrestler Terry Gordy
Art of fighting my all time fav robert and ryu love
Neo Geo the king of fighting games
I love AOF! Robert Garcia is my all time favorite
"Well done," on this AoF documentary, Sir Nabil! 👏😎🗣🤚❤🔥"#HAOW_KEN‼"
Art of fighting 3 was the best game. I use to play it story mode speed running it to 5 mins.
They should have released a fourth game in 3D just like Street Fighter EX. I also would have loved to see an AoF vs FF videogame similar to Street Fighter vs Tekken.
If a sequel or reboot of Art of Fighting were to be made I'd imagine that it would be like Tekken 7. Akuma and Geese shows it can be done.
Lenny Creston was hard for me to beat too. Lolol
Snk did the best commercials
I had Art Of Fighting on SNES
Not much I didn't already know, but it's good to have everything in one video. 😉
One thing that always stuck out to me about this short-lived series is that it really had much more the feel of SNK figuring out just how much they could get away with than any kind of attempt at fun or memorable fighting games. The first was _incredibly_ stiff and clunky, the second hideously unbalanced with lots of hopeless matchups, and the third alternatively sluggish and requiring impossible reaction times. Granted, innovations like spirit meters, high-risk high-reward desperation moves, and snuffing out projectiles with attacks were nifty niche ideas, but there's a reason niche ideas often stay niche. To be brutally honest, I always found the Fighter's History games (which were _much_ more shameless ripoffs of Street Fighter 2) higher quality _and_ more enjoyable than Art of Fighting.
It was a spite move by a bitter Capcom castoff, and once that stopped being relevant, so did it. It added to the lore of Southtown and provided a natural rivalry to the Fatal Fury squad, and that's the extent of AoF's legacy. Hey, more than Time Killers ever got. 🙂
My first snk fighter on the snes
I remember how awesome the graphics looked compared to other fighters.
If Takashi's sequel to Street Fighter is Fatal Fury then Art of Fighting is Hiroshi's prequel to Street Fighter, with him not being able to use Ryu anymore Ryo is definitely a chance to continue with Ryu the character he created. Also Art of Fighting is actually not Takuma's fighting game debut a younger version of Takuma was one of the main protagonist in SNK's second fighting game Street Smart in the game he's simply called Karate Man hence why he's called Mr. Karate in Art of Fighting.
I believe that ARIKA will make AOF4 for SNK
Man! We have to agree on something. Pachinko animations are beautiful and hype building!
Sadly it's only on pachinko...
Ahh a young geese causing trouble no matter what era
lol
Hiiiiii...Tahhhkkkkkk..
Hwwwhhaaawww Shhhoowww KkkoohhhwwKen..
Yeah,I remember back then..a 'herborist' friend got a Neo geo aes..we played Last resort..Fatal fury 2 and Art.
The feeling was awesome,that was real power and a real sensation to hit the opponent.
I bought the aes with Fatal special less a year later.
I will always remember when Ryo appeared in the ending and after with all the Kof.
Art 2 was really hard to play,a small hit and boommm like walking on the moon.
Art 3 was beautiful..but only hardcore 2D gamers own one.
If you could make a documentary with Neo geo land..I keep just 2 tolkens and tickets..like sacred artefacts.
31.20..it's not the original art 3 us.. (he s full white).
My favorite character from art of fighting is King💯
art of fighting 2 is the best of all series
🔥🔥🔥
is this just the two previous episodes edited together?
Correct. Edited as one full documentray just how i did with the History of Samurai Shodown.
I thought King was inspired by actress, Su Shiomi
Hello. I suscribe your channel. Like
Has anyone seen the Art of Fighting Korean live action?
Let's see Art of fighting get a sequel
They already announced they are working on Art Of Fighting 4.
@@NeoGeoNow thanks that's awesome. When is it coming out?
I was operating arcade machines back in the day, and when i heard my supplier had aof3, i hurried my butt over to go and immediately buy it.. however only a minute into testing the cart, i backed off the deal. My main off puts were the terrible music and the way the characters flashed. I found it very off putting.
I find FFS a harder game to 1 credit than AOF2.
Then again I play AOF2 a lot more than FFS.
They need to patch these games and make them easier to control and fix the hit boxes and re release them
My Fevrate game
🎉🎉🎉
Mr. Big was the hardest player to beat for me
Ken doesn't mean tale but fist.
❤❤❤
Please, we want the french version
Need spanish subtitles
Wyler was the hardest player to beat for me.
aof 3 was, people were just blinded by the previous title and didnt give aof a chance
Art of Fighting Trilogy
Art of fighting 2 isn't too hard, with some practice, learning the mechanics and opponents flaws it becomes relatively easy to play.
Art of fighting reboot
have you played " the original " killer instinct"
Oh yes! I had the black snes cartridge back in the day. Loved the game so much!
@@NeoGeoNow the actual KI arcade is a 1000 times better than snes version, there was a samurai shodown across from the KI in the arcades, I loved the samurai shodown arcade a lot but kept dying at second character fight, but I got samurai shodown 1,2,3,4,5 and. 2020 and KI 1,2 and,2013 and various other arcade games on my xbox now, thank you for clearing the up the different fighting systems you select a beginning of each match on in samurai shodown 3,

I respect SNK but my heart belongs to Capcom
Oops, you did it again!
@@NeoGeoNow I just love Capcom
As much as I liked AOF, I still cannot stand the tap/hold button mechanic for weak/strong attacks that AOF employed.
Getting Ryo, Robert, Takuma, Yuri, and King to play as they did in KOF94 was what cemented KOF as my favorite series.
Marvel
Injustice
That was only in AOF 2
Art of Fighting 2 was far too hard with cheating AI.
Art of Fighting 3 was flawed as just one hit knocks you or your opponent down. Also feels janky with slow input.
Art of Fighting just really isn't as good as people remember it to be
AOF 3 is the SF3 New Generation of the series it had a character roster that were all new and so little to no people had any interest in them the gameplay and mechanics were mediocre to bad at times and their appeal was lackluster
Ah yes, the worst SNK series to date
