Man, I really feel sorry for Antonov. Easily one of the best newcomers. He’s such an upbeat fellow who’s ready to take his lost like a champ and then mr. plot device showed up and was causing chaos while yelling “What you mean that I’m the least popular character in the roster!?”. Thanks for recap of Shun’ei arc, Shoryugaming. I can’t wait for XV!
Yeah he is an awesome Big Charismatic weirdo. His Design looks SICK as HELL in 15. I'm looking forward to him when I get my copy tomorrow. Geez. Literally every other character in this Video was more interesting than the character in the title of this Video 🤣
@@MaoriGamerDood to be fair Shun’ei still trying find what he is exactly. SNK tried to make cool character. But his design become got opposite reactions. But as times it looks like people are warming up to Shun’ei.
You know I do find it funny that the KOF license just keeps being passed to a lot of people in the series lol. Like, one game it is a evil business man, another a businesswoman, a mercenary leader, an evil organization, the son and daughter of a crime lord and now Antonov in 14. Seriously, the license must be super flexible to be passed around like that and as for the story, only four teams had anything big to do with the end of the story leading to 15.....except for the main character lol. Regardless I am excited for 15 to drop, especially since even my friends are hyped for it so nice recap Shoryugame!
Funnily enough after all these games it was ironic how kof started because geese wanted to use the competition to target ryo and terry. Everything went batshit insane once Orochi got involved and whole kof saga went crazier from there.
@@toledochristianmatthew9919 I still find it funny that in one universe Terry is the 1 who won the king of fighters but then chronologically Ryo is the 1st 1 to have won the king of fighters and then we go to the king of fighters universe itself and Kyo won the first tournament lol. It's like the king of fighters crossover games that later on became its own thing was meant to cross over with art of fighting and fatal fury.
Hey SNK and Koch media, you got the best KOF lore channel right here in case you haven't noticed during your last "let's approach the community through the content creators" move
That was a great recap Shoryu. SNK did a great job bringing back the favorites using verse, but not pandering to us as well. Killing Orochi again was like them saying, "We know you missed the Orochi team, but this is still our story." Love it! Even my friends who grew up with KOF but left it behind are willing to get onboard with 15 because they brought back some favorites. This should be fun for some old school, side-by-side, slugfests with beer, and jokes lol.
Whether you call this arc the - Shun’ei Arc - Verse Arc - The Phantoms of Time & Space Arc or as blaze647 puts it - The 18-5 22-5-18-19-5 Arc This Arc has its peaks and valleys, and I’m glad you took us for a rise since the Beginning Shoryugame.
@@blaze6477 It was a code to hide any story specific details. Match the number to the corresponding letter of the Alphabet. But yeah…I see what you did there.
I hope the “Team Kim” return in “KOF XV” and I hope Oswald,Duo Lon and Shen Woo return like a new Team with the name “Wild Card”, do you guys hope in this return?
I say Kim could Team with members of the Taekwando Legacy, people that use a specific combat art, or the one I want a Team consisting of characters from Fatal Fury As for Team Wild Card…yeah….I like the idea of all of Ash’s Teammates teaming with each other…kind that of a missed opportunity for this game…Alongside a Those From the Past Team (Shion,Botan, Shroom/Rimelo)
As much as I hate Shun's design. I like the idea of a rookie main protagonist with potential and not being the champion in his debut (unlike Kyo, K' and Ash) My main complain in KOF XIV story was how Japan Team were the ones who saved the day at the end. That's boring Just imagine how much better would have been if Fatal Fury Team (you know, the team who is very closer with Tung) were the ones who defeat Verse. Also, I am not a fan of how Tung trusting his disciples to Kyo. Why Kyo? Why not Terry?! Wasted opportunities
@@ShoryuGame Hello Shoryugame. The actual SNK has made retcons about the lore. In the new canon. Ash Team were the champions in KOF 2003 and beated Mukai.
Granted, I’m not that lore Savi on KOF like I am with other fighting games such as Tekken and Mortal Kombat, but seeing your videos on all for Sagas made me so hyped and prepared for the storyline in KOF XV! Thanks Shoru.😎👊🏾👍🏾🔥
Now that all the team's intros are released in the official web page, it would be great if you make a video about them, they're very short and easy to explain, and i would love to hear them in your style
Nice video as usual, tho with the game coming out very soon i have to have you perhaps considered doing a video about the Team Stories for XV? i feel like alot of people aren't even aware of those.
This could be an Interesting Saga, but I do feel that it's got a lot of Flaws, while KOF XV is gonna be a Plot Continuation to XIV but my Mind does tell me there's going to be a few Changes in terms of Consistencies, - Some of the Newcomers in XIV are gonna get either Dropped or come back later as DLC (so that *Xanadu* can Rot in the Dirt, but I am Hoping for *Nakaruru* to make a Return since she was a Key Character in XIV). - Retconning the KOF XIV Arcade Endings and Character/Team Story Details, while Japan Team and Yagami Team Endings are both 100% Canon and the Invitation Team Ending is 50% Canon, but all the other Team Endings are obviously going to be Non Canon right down to 0%. - Characters like *Love Heart* and *Mui Mui* will be Erased from the KOF Canon because of the Licensing Issues.
Stuff like you mentioned, the many retcons the actual SNK has made ("thanks" Oda) and bringing back death characters have made me gave up with the main plot of this new arc and the series in general. For me KOF ended with XIII despite all the problems that game felt more like a proper goodbye. I am going to play KOF XV not for the plot this time (expect maybe the sub plot with the NESTS characters)
@@meganinten0078 for them too revive the dead is fcking new at least SNK has never revive any character and we have never seen cys for like 19 too 20 years if u think the story is trash because of them revive the dead ur wrong plus why tf kofn13 would be the end of the story lol snk is bankrupt in that day so no kof until 2016
Hi @shoryugame ! Have you or would you be interested in doing a lore video on covering some kof villan/evil type characters 🤔 like jazu and silver... maybe even xanadu ect? Or have you did that video allready and I missed it ?
There isn't much lore about these characters to make full videos dedicated to them. I did talk about them in some top ten videos though (the top ten mid bosses and crazy/weird characters).
As for your top 16 absentees characters video: 16. Makes sense. Chin would definitely sense the evil of Verse, so cutting him and Sie Kensou was odd. 15. You’re wrong. There are leaks for a future Samurai Showdown team with Nakoruru. It will literally be the third team. 14-12. The reason they wouldn’t is because they don’t know each other well anymore. Ash being erased made them just acquaintances that were hired for the same tournament. 11. Takuma turn it down casually in the Art of Fighting team story. That was sad. Maybe he was just too overpowered. 10-8. The running joke was okay at first, but getting them beaten up in the NESTS saga was too much already. It was like characters were cut before they were even thought of. We need them back, and them being too goofy isn’t a good reason anymore when comic relief teams like the Women Fighters and the Art of Fighting teams exist. 7. Shingo was mentioned in Kyo’s interview, but that’s it. Only doing errands. Why😓? 6-5. I agree completely and I’m glad they are back. But it was hinted in a leak along with the next one. 4. The problem with Yamazaki is that he’s to berserk. That’s why the special team was fought first in the 97 arc of All star. He would kill the opponents. But he’s back anyway. But mark my words, in the 2003 and XV arcs of All star, the player will fight Yamazaki first to prevent the player questioning why Yamazaki didn’t kill the opponents. 3-2. Mature and Vice always looked like extras just so that the Yagami team would be easier to make. They lost any good story credibility for showing up in 13 as easy replacements for Oswald and a new character. 1. Kim never looked amazing or even interesting in my eyes. If it weren’t for the weird designs for Chang and Choi, the Korea team would be cut, not the USA team. He was the easiest to cut. But don’t worry, as it’s confirmed that he’ll return as DLC in 2023.
Great recap! While I'm glad they found a way to revive a lot of canonically dead characters, it sucks that the story is... just that. It's kinda lacking when you compare it to the other sagas :/
Same here. I bought KOF XV after not playing many of the previous ones because the lore intrigued me. Verse looks like a Castlevania boss, and I love the Castlevania series.
Shoryu you need to read the Ash Team history of KoF 15 Verse inst a being "created" for Ash ending in Kof 13, those being are a fusion of souls and already exist in other dimension, but cant get a fisical form in this world Only with the "help" of someone with Spirit powers (like Shunei) working like a "medium" can appear in this world Kukri know of the existence of the Verse beings and want to sumon one to revive his death master Dolores All what happen in KoF 14 was a plot making by Kukri
This saga had nothing much happening. There's even no hierarchy in the bosses in each game, unlike the others. Orochi Saga had disciple (Rugal), priest (Goenitz) and god (Orochi), NESTS Saga had ranked bosses, and Crimson Ash the collection of Sacred Treasures. With Shun'ei Saga, it's just Shun'ei's left and right spectral hands. LOL
When I said that Kukri can't be trusted, I was wrong, AGAIN. 4 days ago, I read Ash Team's backstory in XV and what I read about Kukri's sad story that he lost his teacher (Dolores), finally I understand what he wanted in XIV. He helped Elisabeth to find Ash, while Elisabeth and Ash to help Kukri to find Dolores but still again I misjudge them. Isla, Dolores and now Kukri. Thats why he has became a person with rage, regret, hate and talking dirty. Also Shoryu Game, when we get also the future game KOFXVI, can you make a complete 4th saga story video?
In the manga it was Geese Howard who beat verse (and very easily i might add), Geese took control of verse and was then a beaten by Shunei, not team japan. Also Antonov never actually got to fight anybody in the manga, So which is canon? the game or the manga?
@@ShoryuGame I see, well thanks for the recap! I have finally caught up in the lore and I'm more than ready for KOF15 now! (i just need to get better with Team Ikari lol)
Even during the kof xv only the sponsors name appears yet no body appear. I hope SNK have enough money and XV sell well so the XVI will still posible and the saga can have the conclusion
So now king of fighters has gone into the multiversal power scale with these amplified specters? Nice, i mean street fighter and tekken are doing the same thing
It is so weird that Shun ei plays such a minimal role in KOF XIV although he is supposed to be the main character, its the "shun' ei saga" yet kyo puts him hidden in the shadows. What a horrible debut for him. And his twisted outfit doesn't make it better. I hope he'll get some more fame in this new opus. And also a decent looking alternative costume.
Actually in kof 14 SNK doesn't know if they want him too be protagonist yet probably that's why in kof 15 he will be fully lead the story SNK hyping up for his saga meaning SNK really care about shun ei
I am going to be honest. I don't care about the main plot of this new saga anymore. KOF XIV felt more like a reboot than a sequel. I am tired of the many retcons the actual SNK has made. I hate the whole bringing back dead characters stuff. The only thing I am interest is about the sub plot with the NESTS characters.
Team Japan won again??? So sick of them hogging the spotlight even on a KOF story arc where Kyo is no longer the main protagonist, they should have given the honors to shun nei himself as much as I don't like them. At this point they've become an almost predictable and unreletable Mary Sue(S)
I really dislike this type of character design. Why a fighter has to wear headphones??? Why this hyper-modern crazy design??? KOF always had a serious tone and cool design for most of his characters (maybe Choi and Chang being a bit weird but still ok). I can't take most of the new characters serious because of this forced modern design. But I also prefear the old school KOF sprites up till XI, 98 UM and 2002 UM so maybe that's why.
Go to kof 15 website and read ex story shun ei why his wearing headphones other than that his actually suck at fashion he leaves with master tung fu re at mountain he pretty much don't know crap about city he didn't even know about BBQ lol
not agree Shun'ei Saga will be the worst saga maybe more worst of the ash saga , the best remaine orochi saga , also kof15 phase 1 boss look a female version of street fighter 5 necalli , but kof15 gameplay look good
Well it's berserk form lmao and we don't know crap what happened just because shun ei design is bad his saga is bad too that's stupid as hell and kof 15 literally is when he just become protagonist clearly he will get a great development
excactly, why japanese developers always tend to go into hyper modern crazy style after introducing a franchise with a serious tone and quite realistic fighters design???
I would like to call this saga, the "reVERSE" saga.
Lol
Bro, this ain't no "Call of Duty: Zombies Mode" type of Story. 😂
thats a cool concept
*clap* *clap* *clap*
Bravo! 👏👏👏
Actually theres a new sub boss in XV called Reverse, sorry for spoilers
I'm happy that you mentioned Krizalid in the video, I really hope he can be back as dlc in XV
Yeah he would look mad in XV's style.
Team Zero? O. Zero (+ Glugan), Krizalid, Ron.
Would love lovable Igniz too but he's probably too broken.
Love your videos, Tanzong!
@@edselyong7609 Or team NESTS executives, O.Zero/Krizalid/Igniz. And yes Igniz will be broken like he always was unless they heavily nerf him.

This series actually got me interested in the story behind the game!
I had no I dea team Japan was the winners . Benny really stacking those championship belts 🤣
I know right? It's seems his team will be the winner of XV as well.
Thats why in KOFXV, Shun'ei was teamed up with Benimaru. To get some validation as the hero of this "Shun'ei's Left and Right Hands Saga."
Seems that the fight for space and time isn't over. The Ash saga was just the prelude.

XIV really did feel like a soft reset with Verse. Hopefully Shun'Ei can be fleshed out more
This could be an Interesting Saga, but I do feel that it's got a lot of Flaws, while KOF XV is gonna be a Plot Continuation to XIV but my Mind does tell me there's going to be a few Changes in terms of Consistencies,
- Some of the Newcomers in XIV are gonna get either Dropped or come back later as DLC (so that *Xanadu* can Rot in the Dirt, but I am Hoping for *Nakaruru* to make a Return since she was a Key Character in XIV).
- Retconning the KOF XIV Arcade Endings and Character/Team Story Details, while Japan Team and Yagami Team Endings are both 100% Canon and the Invitation Team Ending is 50% Canon, but all the other Team Endings are obviously going to be Non Canon right down to 0%.
- Characters like *Love Heart* and *Mui Mui* will be Erased from the KOF Canon because of the Licensing Issues.
Stuff like you mentioned, the many retcons the actual SNK has made ("thanks" Oda) and bringing back death characters have made me gave up with the main plot of this new arc and the series in general.

First KOF arc: Orochi Saga
2nd KOF arc: NESTS Saga
3rd KOF arc: Ash Saga
4th KOF arc: Shun'ei's Left And Right Hands Saga

To be fair we've only seen the story of one game in this saga, XV may just change things around...
To be fair, the sole purpose for Verse is to revive old characters, so things are going to be more straightforward in 14.
Rather have a dream match for that, but that’s just me.
The tales of ash saga link isn't in the description.
Oops! my bad. It is now. Thanks for the heads up!
Welcome new Shoryugaming subscribers! I subscribed for the KOF lore. I’ve stayed for his witty & dry sense of humor 😆🙌💯
Same here. I bought KOF XV after not playing many of the previous ones because the lore intrigued me. Verse looks like a Castlevania boss, and I love the Castlevania series.
Shoryu you need to read the Ash Team history of KoF 15
Verse inst a being "created" for Ash ending in Kof 13, those being are a fusion of souls and already exist in other dimension, but cant get a fisical form in this world
Only with the "help" of someone with Spirit powers (like Shunei) working like a "medium" can appear in this world
Kukri know of the existence of the Verse beings and want to sumon one to revive his death master Dolores
All what happen in KoF 14 was a plot making by Kukri
So hyped for KOF 15! Let's gooooooo!
Please make videos on maximum impact 1and 2 lore and saga story about Alba Lien Nivell Duke and Loiuse Mayrink and Jivatama
Shoryu u should make Shun ei lore video it will be great
i thought you would mention the xanadu and it´s relation w this thing of verse or anything
Excellent and... 8:41 currently we dont know who's that (Spoiler about kof xv, maybe it's Saiki,Rugal or Igniz)
The shunei story is that he has big glowing phantom fist like verse... 🤔 ok good enough for menu
I thought you would also include the XV Team Stories atleast of main teams for the recap.
The blue Honda might be represented by the secret boss at the end of 15. Who knows who might be a zombie Rugal??
Blue Honda?
6:17 too bad it's Sunday do people refill up tomorrow
I would love to see Rugal Bernstein Igniz and Krizalid to return in The King of Fighters XV
THE NEW TEAM BOSSES!
To me I want the new kof game to have a verse like person just like shun’ei and isla but is evil antagonist
This saga had nothing much happening. There's even no hierarchy in the bosses in each game, unlike the others.
Orochi Saga had disciple (Rugal), priest (Goenitz) and god (Orochi), NESTS Saga had ranked bosses, and Crimson Ash the collection of Sacred Treasures.
With Shun'ei Saga, it's just Shun'ei's left and right spectral hands. LOL
Now that the dead are now alive what about a team with zero, Krizalid, ron and glaugan in zeroes moves
Hmm...I wonder why Geese replaced Hein with Yamazaki? I guess I'll find out in this video.
Nope, that wasn't explain here. Maybe in KoF XV.
Dear Make video on Duo Lon..
Someone could please Tell me when Geese died? Was he ressurected? When?
He died in the Fatal Fury timeline, and he stayed dead there.
Kof and FF with AoF have different timelines.
Can anyone tell me why these kof characters dont age? Is there any lore behind it?
Does this mean Chizuru had to face multiple lawsuits as well?
Unlikely.
When I said that Kukri can't be trusted, I was wrong, AGAIN. 4 days ago, I read Ash Team's backstory in XV and what I read about Kukri's sad story that he lost his teacher (Dolores), finally I understand what he wanted in XIV. He helped Elisabeth to find Ash, while Elisabeth and Ash to help Kukri to find Dolores but still again I misjudge them. Isla, Dolores and now Kukri. Thats why he has became a person with rage, regret, hate and talking dirty. Also Shoryu Game, when we get also the future game KOFXVI, can you make a complete 4th saga story video?
Kukri is a jerk, but he's not evil. I personally love his character.
To answer you question, if we're still alive, I sure will!
@ShoryuGame Your right about Kukri. And thanks for the answer.
Oh that's too bad, our beloved big bad daddy; Orochi, seem to be out of roster in XV's..
I hated shun ei cause I thought he was boring but now after reading his story he's a pretty cool character
Daimon deserves that belt fight me!
So Krizalid is now the only one that is neither present or mentioned in KOF XV as of this comment
Now to wait
In the manga it was Geese Howard who beat verse (and very easily i might add), Geese took control of verse and was then a beaten by Shunei, not team japan. Also Antonov never actually got to fight anybody in the manga, So which is canon? the game or the manga?
The manga has its own canon.
@@ShoryuGame I see, well thanks for the recap! I have finally caught up in the lore and I'm more than ready for KOF15 now! (i just need to get better with Team Ikari lol)
Even during the kof xv only the sponsors name appears yet no body appear. I hope SNK have enough money and XV sell well so the XVI will still posible and the saga can have the conclusion
Imagine if Anastasia would be next antagonist and she is amplified spectar too.
So now king of fighters has gone into the multiversal power scale with these amplified specters? Nice, i mean street fighter and tekken are doing the same thing
But this is KOF XIV & XV Arc
Is the manga to KOF 14 canon?
👏👏👏👏👏👏
It is so weird that Shun ei plays such a minimal role in KOF XIV although he is supposed to be the main character, its the "shun' ei saga" yet kyo puts him hidden in the shadows. What a horrible debut for him. And his twisted outfit doesn't make it better. I hope he'll get some more fame in this new opus. And also a decent looking alternative costume.
Actually in kof 14 SNK doesn't know if they want him too be protagonist yet probably that's why in kof 15 he will be fully lead the story SNK hyping up for his saga meaning SNK really care about shun ei
Wait, antonov is russian?
Hey uh ShoryuGame have some disappointing news most of your lore in the Tales of Ash saga except KOF XIII has been reconned
He kinda reminds me of Nero
Thats a cute game.
wow
It makes no sense that Geese is alive Terry beat him and then he died.
The King of Fighters timeline is different from the Fatal Fury/Art of Fighting timeline Geese and Krauser didn’t die in KOF timeline
Hi
I am going to be honest.
I don't care about the main plot of this new saga anymore.
KOF XIV felt more like a reboot than a sequel.
I am tired of the many retcons the actual SNK has made.
I hate the whole bringing back dead characters stuff.
The only thing I am interest is about the sub plot with the NESTS characters.
Team Japan won again??? So sick of them hogging the spotlight even on a KOF story arc where Kyo is no longer the main protagonist, they should have given the honors to shun nei himself as much as I don't like them.
At this point they've become an almost predictable and unreletable Mary Sue(S)
KOF protags are supposed to be bad@ss-looking hunks.
Ash and Shun'ei are far from that.
I really hate Shunei character design, seems out of place for KOF! Incomparable to Kyo and Iori... Sheesh!
i just can't stand shun ei's design. hoping this video helps me to not hate him on appearance alone
I understand where you come from. I don't like his design either. But as a character, he's alright.
Try to manga kof14 new begging. Its 30 chapter long.
? p̾r̾o̾m̾o̾s̾m̾
I really dislike this type of character design. Why a fighter has to wear headphones??? Why this hyper-modern crazy design??? KOF always had a serious tone and cool design for most of his characters (maybe Choi and Chang being a bit weird but still ok). I can't take most of the new characters serious because of this forced modern design. But I also prefear the old school KOF sprites up till XI, 98 UM and 2002 UM so maybe that's why.
Go to kof 15 website and read ex story shun ei why his wearing headphones other than that his actually suck at fashion he leaves with master tung fu re at mountain he pretty much don't know crap about city he didn't even know about BBQ lol
I will never warm up to this design
I will be glad when his arc is over.
not agree Shun'ei Saga will be the worst saga maybe more worst of the ash saga , the best remaine orochi saga , also kof15 phase 1 boss look a female version of street fighter 5 necalli , but kof15 gameplay look good
Well it's berserk form lmao and we don't know crap what happened just because shun ei design is bad his saga is bad too that's stupid as hell and kof 15 literally is when he just become protagonist clearly he will get a great development
An irredeemable mess of a trash character design.
excactly, why japanese developers always tend to go into hyper modern crazy style after introducing a franchise with a serious tone and quite realistic fighters design???
@@austro93 is kof realistic too u lmao
Yeah u want more edgy cool looking arrogant personality again like like all kof protagonist huh
I hate this character
Greate video again! 👍
If someone like to bet on the next winner of KOF, I recommend the Team with multiple KOF winner Benimaru. 😁
No doubt about it. We literally see him fighting the final boss with his team in the intro.
