Fun fact, Athena Asamiya from 29:10 is the historically oldest playable female character in video game history still active today. Her debut was in the game "Psycho Soldier" in early 1986. She predates Samus Aran when it comes to being a female MC in gaming.
As the KoF '98 intro summarized KoF: "It all began in '94 Kept on rollin' '95 Pieces fell in place in '96 It came to an end in '97! Now it comes and here we go KoF is here again! It's the time for 1998!"
Ralf and Clark (the ones in the stage with the camel with guns on it) are also characters in Metal Slug, and you can ride that camel in the games and blast anything that moves! The Metal Slug series is full of crazy things like that. It's a treasure to video games.
Actually, they are characters from a game called Ikari Warriors, not really that different, gun guys who have tanks. The stage itself IS Metal Slug though. Clark and Ralf were playable in Metal Slug 6 (2006) apparently (just learning that today), but the first Ikari Warriors game came out in 1986.
@@PissedGrunty That's right. I was careful not to say they were FROM Metal Slug, but rather that they were also in Metal Slug, which I figured was more relevant to the video because of the stage, but always nice to spread the knowledge.
@@anthonychessar7179 i disagree, he leaves out alot of stuff that he deemes "unimportant" like Leona tapping into Riot of the Blood and Goenitz injecting Orochi Blood into her. Also he doesn't seem to take the whole story seriously from the way he narrates it. His Guilty Gear lore videos are amazing though
Thorgi's Arcade is also going through his own retrospective of each saga, discussing both the story and the gameplay changes for each installment. Right now, part 1 is out which covers the Orochi Saga games.
Ángel or as she used to be called "Angel" (The silver haired girl with leather jacket and boots) is known among the KoF fans as "the hardest character to play as." Some of the more veteran fighting game players get a little thrown off by her playstyle. Even in KOF 15 she's the only character with a 1/5 rank in the Beginner Score. The thing about her outfit is that it made a lot less sense when she came out in KoF 2001 when she was part of an evil group called NESTS but in KoF 14 when she's alongside Ramón and King of Dinosaurs (originally named Tizoc) it may imply that she's a wrestler which the outfit makes a lot more sense. Even more so is that some of her moves in her kit pay homage to Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's moves....
Ash Crimson is actually male, but very easy to misgender due to visuals alone, so no worries there. As per usual, the drafts usually mean both teams are naturally stacked! Well done! Both of you have some of my favourites. I like the cards idea, it felt a lot like The Voice. Lol Gotta give it to Ken here, I'm a Whip main.
Dolores is a Malinese prophet and priestess straight from Africa and she is Kukri's adoptive mother. She is still young because she was originally dead, having saved Kukri's life in exchange for her own, and was brought back to life by a mysterious entity in the last game.
You should react to a game called guilty gear strive since you enjoyed so much the MK intros or the street fighter ultimates you will love the ones in this game.
Kyo and Iori are freneimes xD and Chizuru is like a mother to them haha :) Mai and Andy are a couple together such as Yuri and Robert Secret Agent team is a referrence to Charlie's Angels :3 I love it, Bethany and Ken :D 💚💙
Ash is one of the hardest character to use in the entire game if you're trying to be good. His combos are absolutely crazy. Angel has him beat in that department though
Yuri Sakazaki became playable in Art of Fighting 2 in 1994. (debut in Art of Fighting 1 in 1992) 2 years prior to Sakura Kasugano of Street Fighters who debuted in 1996
Interesting story behind Krohnen reveal - at some point of history, main devs don't make others part of KOF. Some Korean devs add character K9999 who was literally reference to Tetsuo from anime Akira. Main devs don't like that character. He was blatant ripoff and that can be big issue with copyright. They never add him to next KOF games. But he was unique. So they create Nameless who has somehow identical style (But they don't add Nameless in KOF13-15). This was surprise for everyone that SNK somehow got idea to return K9999 playstyle in KOF15. Nobody ever expect to him be returned. ruclips.net/video/fgzRkvycCTg/видео.html
Nameless was never Canon so him being replaced in 2002um is kinda whatever. Even after they got their stuff back SNK still considering K9999 Canon the story and everything is still part of it's overall story. They just changed him up a bit and gave him some character development.
Huge request: Guilty Gear Xrd Sign: Intros, Instant Kills, Victory Poses. Super fun, super flashy... only problem is the video compilations can get pretty long (like 20+ minutes long). Have a great weekend!
This reaction was dope, I like that y'all had a draft for it too. Y'all should check out the extra outfits tralier for Terry and leona and the DLC teams too if you get the chance to.
And also there are couples in the game Terry Bogard and blue Mary Andy Bogard and Mai shiranui Ryo and king And some of the other fighters are in relationships too, but there not all in this game.
Glad you enjoyed the reaction and draft format we did for this. 😀 And giving us the info on who’s dating who in the game as well 🥰 Glad we kept some couples together 😊
The stage with the gun camels and bearded prisoners is from the Metal Slug series, a run-n-gun game and one of SNK’s most well known series, where Ralf and Clark cameod in in later entries. For some reason there’s never been a Metal Slug rep in the KOF series. Maybe because of the guns, or maybe it’s not a fighting game. (Only exception is Psycho Soldier, where Athena is from)
That’s not entirely true, I thought Fio was playable in a few of them. And I don’t think whether a series has guns really matter when the Ikari Warriors have been playable since ‘94
I really love how you guessed correctly about Ramón trying to ask on a date with Vanessa, since he tries every time to flirt with her, and despite being rejected, keeps trying
Funnily enough, this game has an actual Draft mode in it. Player 1 picks first, then that character is blocked for Player 2, who picks 2nd and 3rd. Then player 1 picks 4th, and I forget how 5 and 6 are resolved. Basically it's to prevent mirror matches.
Shun'ei is using the power of his giant red and blue phantom hands if you remember from KOF 14. Kyo's "sun-looking symbol" is actually an eclipse. Blue Mary is actually in a relationship with Terry Bogard. A recent Terry outfit trailer shows them flirting a bit.
I'm glad to see people outside of KOF reacting to the trailers even if they don't understand anything XD. KOF has a good story (or better than most fighting games) but they always ignore it and almost never make it clear what happened in the previous tournament and how the characters don't age XD . Iori and Kyo are 20 years old since 1994 XD and so with everyone.
I enjoyed this reaction, and kudos to the SNK aficionados here in the comments. For what it's worth King of Fighters XV is probably the best looking in the series plus its enjoyable. As a 90s kid, I never thought in 2022 that the games I've grown up would still be striving for generations of gamers to come.
I love the style. It is the first kof I have played. I got to say thought I watched 4 part retrospective on the series and 13 had one of my favorite art styles
The music in this is so good! Especially the Intro. King of Fighters 15 Nameless theme Guitar ruclips.net/video/m97jSqxIg0w/видео.html Gundam Hathaway Main Theme Guitar MV (Senkou) ruclips.net/video/c_18SeD_sYI/видео.html Cowboy Bebop Ending Theme guitar ruclips.net/video/f6M-oWsRE9Q/видео.html
Nice reaction guys. I’ve been a KOF head since I was 7 years old and can’t wait till KOF 15 drops. This series of games have been out since The early, mid 90s.
Nice video. Good to see KOF increase in attention and love. There are a few other trailers you can still watch. 2 are DLC costumes for two certain characters, and the other is the trailer for the first 2 teams of DLC. Your drafting might not be over yet.
I Most Definitely, Most Abso-fraking-lutely loved and Truly enjoyed watching this reaction vid to these Character Trailers for King Of Fighters 15!!!!! Iori Yagami, Kyo Kusanagi, Terry Bogard, and Ryo Sakazaki are, without a abso-fraking-lute doubt, my Most Absolute favorites there Yet another Real Awesome AF reaction video right here that I have Most Definitely fraking enjoyed watching!!!!!!!!!!
they threw in subtle lore bits here with the little interactions... some of those characters formerly were on opposing teams or fought together during the previous games, many of them are even related to each other (siblings, significant others, even parents) oh and they'll be introducing more teams in the coming months as dlc
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames oh hey, there's a youtube channel called "Thorgi's Arcade" who made a retrospective on the entire KOF series! you may wanna check them out, it's like the 40K Bricky video but for this franchise!
Fun fact: Krohnen is a rework of K9999 a character from kof 2001 based in Tetsuo Shima one of the characters from the anime Akira that gave the copyright to snk Sorry for my bad inglish
Ahhh, KoF, always shadowed by Street Fighter. SNK really outdone themselves with this latest entry. So much better looking than the sim models from 14. Plus they did "the human weapon" Andy Bogard right in this one. To tell you a little backstory for this game, Antonov hosted KoF last game. Instead of being a villian, like previous holders of this tournament, he actually just wanted a great tournament of KoF. Until Verse came along and tried to destroy the world. A team battles Verse to save everyone. Due to Verse's death, canonically dead characters come back to life. Team Orochi, all dead but now alive. Ash, dead. I seriously can't wait to play this game. Also the teams they're in, there's a reason and some story to it. Team Hero, Benimaru is usually in a team with Kyo (Team Japan) but was asked to watch over Shun'ei and Meitenkun. Team Super Heroine, Athena unexpectedly joined forces with Yuri and Mai, this sort of team up is the first for her. She's usually in Team Psycho Soilders with her master Chin and teammate Sei. Yuri and Mai have been in the Women's Team with King, but King was invited by Yuri's brother Ryo to join team Art of Fighting. So these team ups aren't random, and I love that (also if you go to the KoF website, the characters have interviews. Currently Kula had a fight with K' and joined this KoF to beat up K' and make him apologize. It just adds more personalities to these characters.) Kyo, K', Ash, and Shun'ei are all protagonists of this series. Shun'ei, right now, is the main protagonist and this is his arc/saga. Hope you check out more KoF as this is a long and full of lore series starting from '94. Some entries are noncanon to the story,, such as 2002, so keep an eye out. Synopsis: Bethany chooses based on how well they no their craft. Ken chooses based how cool they look and how they fight.
Personally, I prefer the fan joke that Krohnen and Angel offered Kula more candy than K' and Whip did, given Kula's absurd sweet tooth. For her to join up with the NESTS duo again, especially given just how much she and Angel hate each other, it must be one hell of a spat between her and K'. He probably ate the last of her ice cream.
Hello, it's good to see you again, I was very busy doing homework, what a success you have had and how many videos you have uploaded, great, it's good to see you again, good video
Fun fact about Yuri the girl with the bicycle kicks, she is SNK response to Dan (the guy in pink) from Street Fighter. While Dan is bad because he didn’t learn the techniques correctly, She learn them by seeing them once and has copy moves from KOF and Street Fighter characters.
Ramon, Dinasour and Angel are all from Mexico, thats why they have those lucha libre moves; and theres one mexican luchador that i'm hopping they add in the future that is basically Dinosaur but bird(Tizoc),maybe thats why here in Mexico KOF is loved so much, even more than Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat, Ramon even says VIVA MEXICO!(although with very poor pronunciation but we don't mind)at the end of his trailer SNK love Mexico and we love SNK Unas retas del tekino o que?
Well this was interesting. After having followed MaximillianDood react to these one by one perspective of people that are not fighting game experts is always welcome. Now KoF15 is going to be my first KoF so I might pick based on feel alone Yuri, Blue Mary and King as my main team but when that time comes I will make my final decision about what characters I want to play.
Gotta go with gut instinct on first go around and then find which one suits your style 😎🤟 (not like we are experts or anything but that’s just good life advice 😂😂🤗)
In case you don't know: Kyo Kusanagi and Iori Yagami are like the Ken & Ryu, or Scorpion & Sub Zero of this franchise... so yeah... the landmarks since the beginning
Which is weird since Ryo and Terry are the ones that really made the name for SNK having fighting games. Terry’s pet monkey, Ukee, was even the mascot before Terry took over the role. Those are the REAL legacy characters lol
@@GokuInfintysaiyan Yeah but as you said, they are more landmarks of those games. You can’t see Terry Bogarde without thinking Fatal Fury. But in terms of KoF, is Kyo and Iori…
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Yeah so I wanted to say congrats to Bethany for grabbing the power couple of the game. I was hoping that if someone grabbed one then they'd keep em together. Love them together.
I know I might be late but on 37:36, you both will wince even further because on old KoF games, that is not color cyan at all But rather, it's his old super where he siphons the life out of his opponent, and is depicted as blood red instead Basically Heidern has a bit of bloodbending if you think about it
Joe's theme is based on traditional muai Thai music used for combat practice...it's less fast pace.....Iori is rival to kyo but I can't take him seriously cause he dislikes violence yet he uses bloody thirty style.....wierd but cool.....the pillow guy uses fictional sleep style based on drunk, baigiquan and kempo style....sacred treasure is based on Japanese items based by there last names....kusanagi sword, kagura mirror and forgot the last 1 .my fav guys are.... Chizuru uses mirror illusion as moves....Terry bogard, Joe, Andy, K, rock, gato,
Some of these characters are using pseudonyms, like Blue Mary whose real name is Mary Ryan. Krohnen's full alias is Krohnen McDougall (lol). Whip's real name is Seirah. While King of Dinosaurs is the heel persona of a character named Tizoc. Since vengeance isn't really in line with being a face in wrestling, he turned heel. He became the first character who participated in KOF under two different names since he first appeared as King of Dinosaurs in 14. Since KOF's fighting tournaments are team-based, some characters have collected more championships in canon than the rest because jumping teams is a thing. Benimaru has the most titles with 9. But he's no Tom Brady or Michael Jordan or Bill Russell, he's more like Robert Horry because he's never lead his own team to a championship. The recurring trend seen time and time again in this series is Benimaru jumping teams to support the new main guy (except for Ash saga in which he once teamed up with Elisabeth to win KOF XI) in each story arc after the Orochi saga (KOF 94-97), which explains his championship tally. He starts out as Kyo's teammate in each story arc, usually ending up winning the championship.
Oh I am sure others said this but Ash is a guy. Feminine af but still. He's also the best hero as others would die to save the world. He not only actually died but erased his existence! Now that's a hero.
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Yep. But also Clark comes from Ikari Warriors. Essentially King Of Fighters was/is a crossover series of all of SNKs properties before it had 15 games and a couple more spin offs to the point you forget its a crossover showing off SNK characters.
32:10 Ash is a guy, he just happens to be flamboyant. The pronoun used in the game is "he" when other characters refer to him. In KoF you got Ash being a feminine-like guy while King would be the most masculine-like woman, its just their character expressions =)
Lol why you misgendering ma man Ash? Guys can do their nails too XD It pleases me greatly that you valued Chizuru so highly. She's not in a lot of KOF games, but always seems to be top pick whenever she shows up. A few fun lore: Iori and Kyo came from two ancient bloodlines who constantly killed each other, but also worked together with Chizuru's family to defeat the demon snake Orochi. Iori and Leona both inherited Orochi blood, which is why Iori has red hair and Leona's hair turns red when she uses her powers. The power sometimes causes the person to go berserk and fall under the influence of Orochi. Leona went berserk when she was young and slaughtered her whole village. She was rescued and adopted by Heidern, taking his last name. You can see similarities in their fighting styles. She, Ralf and Clark are under Heidern's command Yashiro, Shermie and Chris are a rock band named CYS. Funnily they are a rival band to a band that Iori belongs to. The three of them were at one point minions of Orochi (hence team Orochi) with super human powers. With Orochi defeated and sealed, they've lost most of their powers. Mai has unilaterally declared that she and Andy are married. Andy has not overtly confirmed this. K' is a test subject modeled after Kyo (but needs the glove to use fire power). After his escape, Kula diamond was designed to hunt him down (her fighting style was coined anti-k, hence ice powers). Various events brought them together and they now enjoy a love-hate brother-sister relationship.
Fun fact, Athena Asamiya from 29:10 is the historically oldest playable female character in video game history still active today. Her debut was in the game "Psycho Soldier" in early 1986. She predates Samus Aran when it comes to being a female MC in gaming.

😎🤟

I see ash still confusing people lol
😂🤗 not first time we’ve messed up on gender of characters and won’t be last 😬😂😇
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames yeah ash tends to do that
Everyone loves Leona 😅
For good reason 🤩
Nice reaction guys. I’ve been a KOF head since I was 7 years old and can’t wait till KOF 15 drops. This series of games have been out since The early, mid 90s.
😎🤟😀 Glad you enjoyed the reaction! Hope this next version of the game great 🙂
@Definitely Not Definitive - Games oh most definitely. 😆🤘🏾
Nice video. Good to see KOF increase in attention and love. There are a few other trailers you can still watch. 2 are DLC costumes for two certain characters, and the other is the trailer for the first 2 teams of DLC. Your drafting might not be over yet.
Nice. Are they bringing more dlc characters soon? Maybe we will wait until a few more drop 😀
They'll all probably be released by the final quarter of this year, so it'll be awhile.
I love the format. Nice content!
Nice! Glad you enjoyed it. We think this is how we will do character drafts going forward 😀🥳
I watched the full video while washing dishes hahaha
Haha, glad we could keep you company while doing some household chores 🥳🥳
iori yagami is badass!! he’s my fav character in every kof i’ve played
😎🤟🥳
Facts bro. Favorite character in all fiction
I Most Definitely, Most Abso-fraking-lutely loved and Truly enjoyed watching this reaction vid to these Character Trailers for King Of Fighters 15!!!!!
Iori Yagami, Kyo Kusanagi, Terry Bogard, and Ryo Sakazaki are, without a abso-fraking-lute doubt, my Most Absolute favorites there
Yet another Real Awesome AF reaction video right here that I have Most Definitely fraking enjoyed watching!!!!!!!!!!
Nice! So glad that you enjoyed this reaction! We had a lot of fun doing the character draft this way especially with so many different characters 😀
Hello!
I have an idea for an episode: fnaf endings all (fnaf 1- fnaf seciurity breach)
I can't wait to get this game later this month.
🥳🥳
I played King of fighters 98 on Neo Geo at my young age by the way many characters of the KOF come from Fatal Fury too or Art of Fighting (old game).
Kyo Kusanagi and Iori Yagami are best of rivals since 95.
They are the history of KOF for a long time now
Loved your reactions 💯
Glad you enjoyed the video 😀🥳🤗🙂
they threw in subtle lore bits here with the little interactions... some of those characters formerly were on opposing teams or fought together during the previous games, many of them are even related to each other (siblings, significant others, even parents)
oh and they'll be introducing more teams in the coming months as dlc
😎👍😀 so we can do a dlc draft
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames yes! and some interesting picks too!
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames oh hey, there's a youtube channel called "Thorgi's Arcade" who made a retrospective on the entire KOF series! you may wanna check them out, it's like the 40K Bricky video but for this franchise!
Robert, Ryo, and Vanessa are my favorite characters
😎👍😀
Great video guys! Got a link to the trailers video you watched? 👀
We actually just used this playlist ruclips.net/p/PL9TTFcrA9ahTOxvkzTyU33SVF6EaPFPCh 🤗
Fun fact: Krohnen is a rework of K9999 a character from kof 2001 based in Tetsuo Shima one of the characters from the anime Akira that gave the copyright to snk
Sorry for my bad inglish
English was good. Thanks for sharing the fun fact 😀
Ahhh, KoF, always shadowed by Street Fighter. SNK really outdone themselves with this latest entry. So much better looking than the sim models from 14. Plus they did "the human weapon" Andy Bogard right in this one. To tell you a little backstory for this game, Antonov hosted KoF last game. Instead of being a villian, like previous holders of this tournament, he actually just wanted a great tournament of KoF. Until Verse came along and tried to destroy the world. A team battles Verse to save everyone. Due to Verse's death, canonically dead characters come back to life. Team Orochi, all dead but now alive. Ash, dead. I seriously can't wait to play this game. Also the teams they're in, there's a reason and some story to it. Team Hero, Benimaru is usually in a team with Kyo (Team Japan) but was asked to watch over Shun'ei and Meitenkun. Team Super Heroine, Athena unexpectedly joined forces with Yuri and Mai, this sort of team up is the first for her. She's usually in Team Psycho Soilders with her master Chin and teammate Sei. Yuri and Mai have been in the Women's Team with King, but King was invited by Yuri's brother Ryo to join team Art of Fighting. So these team ups aren't random, and I love that (also if you go to the KoF website, the characters have interviews. Currently Kula had a fight with K' and joined this KoF to beat up K' and make him apologize. It just adds more personalities to these characters.) Kyo, K', Ash, and Shun'ei are all protagonists of this series. Shun'ei, right now, is the main protagonist and this is his arc/saga. Hope you check out more KoF as this is a long and full of lore series starting from '94. Some entries are noncanon to the story,, such as 2002, so keep an eye out.
Synopsis: Bethany chooses based on how well they no their craft. Ken chooses based how cool they look and how they fight.
😂 excellent synopsis and probably could’ve guessed going in how that was going to go 🤗
Personally, I prefer the fan joke that Krohnen and Angel offered Kula more candy than K' and Whip did, given Kula's absurd sweet tooth. For her to join up with the NESTS duo again, especially given just how much she and Angel hate each other, it must be one hell of a spat between her and K'. He probably ate the last of her ice cream.
Ash didn't just die, he was supposed to be erased from all history because time paradox that happened in KOF XIII.
Hello, it's good to see you again, I was very busy doing homework, what a success you have had and how many videos you have uploaded, great, it's good to see you again, good video
Welcome back! Glad you had some free time to check out the vids! 😀🥳🤗
Fun fact about Yuri the girl with the bicycle kicks, she is SNK response to Dan (the guy in pink) from Street Fighter. While Dan is bad because he didn’t learn the techniques correctly, She learn them by seeing them once and has copy moves from KOF and Street Fighter characters.
Thanks for sharing he fun fact about Yuri 😀
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames their is a video name Yuri’s revenge that show the moves she has copied in case you would like to see them
Glad to see new blood coming into this game. We KoF fans may be a bit of tryhards but that's because we love these games. I hope you like the game.
We’ve enjoyed exploring this game and can’t believe we hadn’t been exposed to it until recently given how long it has been around 😀
You guys should check out the climax moves compilation for this game.
On our request list 😇
Ramon, Dinasour and Angel are all from Mexico, thats why they have those lucha libre moves; and theres one mexican luchador that i'm hopping they add in the future that is basically Dinosaur but bird(Tizoc),maybe thats why here in Mexico KOF is loved so much, even more than Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat, Ramon even says VIVA MEXICO!(although with very poor pronunciation but we don't mind)at the end of his trailer
SNK love Mexico and we love SNK
Unas retas del tekino o que?
Tizoc is Dinosaur.
@@JasonRogue Damn, didn't know that, i hope you can unlock Tizoc costume, i like it better
😎🤟 🇲🇽 🤗🥳
K' , Kula, Krohnen = clone of Kyo power
Well this was interesting. After having followed MaximillianDood react to these one by one perspective of people that are not fighting game experts is always welcome. Now KoF15 is going to be my first KoF so I might pick based on feel alone Yuri, Blue Mary and King as my main team but when that time comes I will make my final decision about what characters I want to play.
Gotta go with gut instinct on first go around and then find which one suits your style 😎🤟 (not like we are experts or anything but that’s just good life advice 😂😂🤗)
Rank/ Draft the characters of Dead or Alive 6
A franchise we plan to check out at some point 😅
Kore Kara Yo !!
Another Fact About Athena Asamiya She Is Also A Pop Idol And Student And In Has Different Outfit In Every Game She's In
😎👍😀
Rámon is so awesome man , can't hide it ...
In case you don't know: Kyo Kusanagi and Iori Yagami are like the Ken & Ryu, or Scorpion & Sub Zero of this franchise... so yeah... the landmarks since the beginning
Which is weird since Ryo and Terry are the ones that really made the name for SNK having fighting games. Terry’s pet monkey, Ukee, was even the mascot before Terry took over the role.
Those are the REAL legacy characters lol
Thanks for letting us know that 😀
@@GokuInfintysaiyan Yeah but as you said, they are more landmarks of those games. You can’t see Terry Bogarde without thinking Fatal Fury. But in terms of KoF, is Kyo and Iori…
My Top 3 favourite trailer:
1- Elisabeth
2- Chizuru
3- Dolores
😎🤟
By the way. Fun Fact. Krohnen and Angel are dating.
🥰 Nice 😊
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Yeah so I wanted to say congrats to Bethany for grabbing the power couple of the game. I was hoping that if someone grabbed one then they'd keep em together. Love them
together.
I know I might be late but on 37:36, you both will wince even further because on old KoF games, that is not color cyan at all
But rather, it's his old super where he siphons the life out of his opponent, and is depicted as blood red instead
Basically Heidern has a bit of bloodbending if you think about it
😯😱
Joe's theme is based on traditional muai Thai music used for combat practice...it's less fast pace.....Iori is rival to kyo but I can't take him seriously cause he dislikes violence yet he uses bloody thirty style.....wierd but cool.....the pillow guy uses fictional sleep style based on drunk, baigiquan and kempo style....sacred treasure is based on Japanese items based by there last names....kusanagi sword, kagura mirror and forgot the last 1 .my fav guys are.... Chizuru uses mirror illusion as moves....Terry bogard, Joe, Andy, K, rock, gato,
Love all the different fighting styles they give the characters. Seems like a lot of attention to detail in this game 😊
Hello!
I have an idea for an episode:
-all fnaf endings
Have it on our request list to check out at some point 😅
Yashiro , Shermie and Chris have a rock band together ...
😎🤟 🎸
fun video. you still need the DLC characters. hopefully you can that in the future. i like Sacred Treasures Team .
Glad you enjoyed the video! And yes, we need to get to the dlc at some point 🙂
Finally you guys watched it!!! I've been waiting for your reaction since few days ago (or perhaps, I asked for it) nice 🤣🤣🤣
Btw Ash Crimson is a boy
Glad you enjoyed it! And it seems we always get one persons gender wrong lately in new games we check out 😂🤗
Some of these characters are using pseudonyms, like Blue Mary whose real name is Mary Ryan. Krohnen's full alias is Krohnen McDougall (lol). Whip's real name is Seirah. While King of Dinosaurs is the heel persona of a character named Tizoc. Since vengeance isn't really in line with being a face in wrestling, he turned heel. He became the first character who participated in KOF under two different names since he first appeared as King of Dinosaurs in 14.
Since KOF's fighting tournaments are team-based, some characters have collected more championships in canon than the rest because jumping teams is a thing. Benimaru has the most titles with 9. But he's no Tom Brady or Michael Jordan or Bill Russell, he's more like Robert Horry because he's never lead his own team to a championship. The recurring trend seen time and time again in this series is Benimaru jumping teams to support the new main guy (except for Ash saga in which he once teamed up with Elisabeth to win KOF XI) in each story arc after the Orochi saga (KOF 94-97), which explains his championship tally. He starts out as Kyo's teammate in each story arc, usually ending up winning the championship.
My headcanon for Krohnen is that K9999 needed a fake id and he made Angel get it for him
Love the Robert Horry comp 😎🤟
Great vid y’all🤩
Glad you liked it 😀😎🤟🥳
Oh I am sure others said this but Ash is a guy. Feminine af but still. He's also the best hero as others would die to save the world. He not only actually died but erased his existence! Now that's a hero.
Damn. You said it. A hero indeed 🤩
Oh man it makes so happy to see that you guys cheked KOF XV. BTW I really liked the new trump cards.
Glad you enjoyed the new draft style. We thought it was fun too 😀
Clark actually comes WAY before Stryker actually.
Yeah this game is from 90s right? 🤔
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Yep. But also Clark comes from Ikari Warriors. Essentially King Of Fighters was/is a crossover series of all of SNKs properties before it had 15 games and a couple more spin offs to the point you forget its a crossover showing off SNK characters.
Are you guys keeping notes on who keeps who!? xDDD
We did but we should probably put it in description of video so that we can clave easier access to it 😅
Still on Mortal Kombat eh, Well ever heard of Killer Instinct 2013, Well they’ve got some Finishing Moves called Ultimates You should check those out
Will be checking those out at some point J Tom 😎🤟
32:10 Ash is a guy, he just happens to be flamboyant. The pronoun used in the game is "he" when other characters refer to him.
In KoF you got Ash being a feminine-like guy while King would be the most masculine-like woman, its just their character expressions =)
Lol why you misgendering ma man Ash? Guys can do their nails too XD
It pleases me greatly that you valued Chizuru so highly. She's not in a lot of KOF games, but always seems to be top pick whenever she shows up.
A few fun lore:
Iori and Kyo came from two ancient bloodlines who constantly killed each other, but also worked together with Chizuru's family to defeat the demon snake Orochi.
Iori and Leona both inherited Orochi blood, which is why Iori has red hair and Leona's hair turns red when she uses her powers. The power sometimes causes the person to go berserk and fall under the influence of Orochi.
Leona went berserk when she was young and slaughtered her whole village. She was rescued and adopted by Heidern, taking his last name. You can see similarities in their fighting styles. She, Ralf and Clark are under Heidern's command
Yashiro, Shermie and Chris are a rock band named CYS. Funnily they are a rival band to a band that Iori belongs to. The three of them were at one point minions of Orochi (hence team Orochi) with super human powers. With Orochi defeated and sealed, they've lost most of their powers.
Mai has unilaterally declared that she and Andy are married. Andy has not overtly confirmed this.
K' is a test subject modeled after Kyo (but needs the glove to use fire power). After his escape, Kula diamond was designed to hunt him down (her fighting style was coined anti-k, hence ice powers). Various events brought them together and they now enjoy a love-hate brother-sister relationship.
Haha, thanks for the fun facts on the characters. Mai and Andy was funny 😂
Beth : Kusanagi Gang 🔥
Ken : Yagami Gang 🌘
Sorry Ken , I have to go with Beth on this one 🏆🏆🏆
😀🥳🤗
Kula is actually 14 years old and she has the mind of a 5-10 year old :)
😎👍🙂
Oh ya now i remember fucking do rise of the epic scout
🤣
Chizuru kagura appears for the first time on king of fighters 96
😎👍🙂
I recommend watching "Beyond the Wire" early access trailer! It's amazing
Thanks for the rec for a vid to check out 😀
I've been playing king of fighters since the mid 90s, and all I gotta say is ... Andy and Mai really should get married already.
Kappa
🥰😊
