HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 сен 2024
- The Nests saga of the King of fighters series introduced a lot of new iconic characters. K9999 and Nameless have a lot of things in common, yet each one of them has enough unique traits that make him stands as an exceptional character on his own.

Here's a little trivia: when K9999 meets Kusanagi, K9999 shouts "Kusanagi!" and Kusanagi answers back "That's Mr. Kusanagi to you punk!" in Japanese. The connection? Kusanagi is played by Mitsuo Iwata, the voice of Kaneda in Akira, while K9999 is played by Nozumo Sasaki, who played both Tetsuo in Akira and K9999.
In Akira, Kaneda says something similar when he meets Tetsuo: "That's Mr. Kaneda to you punk!"
Yepp kof2002 kusanagi was appear out of nowhere. And yeah probably they purposely want to reunite these two VA. Luckily kof2003 where kusanagi had a backstory.
Oh damn I never know that about them
@@superlight1999 it clone one.
@@ashchisalleh1454 i knew it's a clone but from yata mirror. But the thing is the story for kusanagi was from kof2003 not 2002 because 2002 was a dream match, no storyline. That's why it's weird.
My guess was Eolith bring kusanagi to interact with K49 since both of them have Akira's voice actor. And being kusanagi didn't rip-off that's why snk make a proper story for him.
@@superlight1999 Kusanagi in KOF 2002 has a back story hidden in a Falcoon poster: In that illustration, Kusanagi has burnt off his flesh and clothing showing a robotic arm. Basically a combination of K' and Maxima.
If his lover's name was Isolde, maybe Nameless' true name is... Tristan?
Nah, generic
DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE
Did you just
Nice.
more like viego
I'm so angry that these characters were forgotten.
I really like them despite or underrated they are.
Don't worry, the fan base didn't forget them.
I feel u since I main k9999 in 2000 and 2001 and nameless in 2000um when I get a chance to play that game in ps2
Judging by the fact that Nameless replaced K9' due to the obvious similarity to Tatsuo from Akira, you will never see K9' again.
@@vampforte793 K'9999 was in KOF 2001 and KOF 2002. Nameless is in KOF 2002UM..So, you got your years wrong, dude.
They didn't forgot about nameless I mean he's in KOF All-stars
Nameless for a country mile. And hey, he has shown up in both KOF 98 OL and All Star, so he's halfway there for another appearance in a proper KOF game. Here's hoping Angel gets a video of her own in the future.
We'll have to wait and see if Nameless will get the DBS Broly treatment someday,
I'm so down for Angel's Lore in the next KOF Lore video.
I would like to see K9999 and Nameless in KOF XV
Both characters are awesome
@@meganinten0078 but introducing k9999 will be pretty hard considering he's a ripoff if they only they could change his design
@@levikekman5979 they could write a story where he felt his hair was ugly so he decides shave his hair and comeback bald!
@@meganinten0078 well it's looks like you got your wish sort of
i'm glad Nameless is in All Stars
SNK still remembers him :)
@Lochlan Ribon-chaudat they just released nameless this month i think
I use Nameless for boss raid,he's good
In the JP version, in case you have the global version and are confused
That's Netmarble, not SNK, but still nice
@@utfan971 well, SNK in part, if we can say that
K9999 has Tetsuo Shima's VA (Nozomu Sasaki), along with Kusanagi having Shotaro Kaneda's VA (Mitsuo Iwata).
Their special VS intro is a nice callback to Akira.
They even got Miina Tominaga (Patlabor's Noa Izumi) to voice Angel. They really went all out with the anime VA's for 2001.
He's back!
This game has shattered my expectations three times already.
Man, such a shame that these characters are underutilized, especially Nameless. He has such an awesome design and moveset. I hope he appears in KOF15 to see how he will react to Kula. Thanks for increasing the awareness of these guys.
Considering That Nameless Never Got In a Canonical Kof Game He Could Be A Protagonist Of His Own Arc When The Current Arc Ends
K9999 is awesome.
My favorite from the NESTS saga
They could just Retcon Not Tetsuo.
I feel like he's gonna be a DLC character
I hate when they include mr.generic Kyo in every game and forget cool characters like K9999 and Nameless
Some Facts:
- Daisuke Ono (The Voice of Nameless) also voiced Sebastian (Black Butler).
- There was a censored version of K9999's Gun Arm Super which shows his hand only.
- K9999's voice actor (Nozomu Sasaki) also voiced Lee Chaolan from Tekken 2 and Tekken Tag Tournament 1.
Both K9999 and Nameless are my favorite characters in KOF but I would love to see them interact.
Nameless definitely feels like he had a slightly more fleshed out backstory compared to K9999. Adding the revival of the nests bosses after the destruction of verse there's potential for his return.
Especially since it is vaguely possible that his lover came back too or at least could be revived or cloned now that Nest is probably back.
@@marche800 which can bring some interesting elements that can question his morality
Too late, Krohnen might be a combo of K'9999 and Nameless.
@@thunderlightning1980 Krohnen might be K9999 redesigned and retconned, or K9999 after running away from N.E.S.T and have a different life and different name lore-wise. But Nameless is entirely different character, he just was meant to be a replacement for K9999 gameplay-wise, but that doesn't make he impossible to be back.
@@Nhan6241 nope. Nameless is not coming back.
Nameless is having his story in KOF All Stars along with Dark Ash and a sad theme along too, Awesome video!
I love K9999, as a fan of Akira I noticed the "resemblance" immediately. I think that is what drew me to him.
And he didn't appear in the Story Mode of KOF 2001 in KOF All Stars.
All my hopes to see K9999 were shattered...
Rest in Peace, K9999
(2001-2021)
My favorite character in KOF 2001 and vanilla 2002 😢😞
F*** you, SNK
I never knew Nameless' backstory! Cool video, thank you!
Glad you liked it!
@@ShoryuGame you glad k9999 is back in kof
Nameless by far. They should do a Nameless vs K9999 cameo in the next KoF so we can put them to the test.
Nameless stomps
Would you ever cover Nameless story in All stars? Or ever revisit this topic again?
Since K9999 came back and Nameless in KOF All stars with a complete Story.
I second that.
Especially because how the tables have turned.
Now it is Nameless who has less chance to return now that K9999 has returned
@@meganinten0078 maybe
Guys he is back 😀in KOF 15
Coming here to celebrate the return of K9999
K9999 certainly was the better and more fun character. I still hope for a K9999 skin for Nameless in the future
K9999 ,is back baby! (under his new name Krohnen)
interesting that they chose him over his more copyright safe counterpart but still cool.
Hope Nameless will be DLC, perhaps making him the 10'000th K clone storywise
(and perhaps he will also get his own name, based on a body horror filmmaker)
They brought him back with minimum Akira references. I think they're safe.
You know all those souls Verse released when he was defeated? What if one of them was Isolde?
Also, I can't help but compare Nameless' design to Lars Alexandersson....
That... doesn't really change anything since we know Verse is carrying the souls of characters who were long dead in KoF lore.
@To Start Again Orochi's soul was one of the souls released from Verse, and Orochi was defeated WAY before Isolde was dead.
I don't think that's possible. Verse contained the souls of evil dead characters (although Ash certainly treads that line thanks to being almost a byronic hero).
However there is a blue entity that Shun'ei posses another half of that just might be Verse's opposite, meaning it's possible that this other entity is carrying the souls of dead characters that weren't evil themselves, like Maki and Isolde.
@@extremmefan7305 Explain Gaidel then, who we know tried to actually escape life as a member of the Hakkeshu to live a more peaceful one with his family before Goenitz came by.
@@sonicmaster95 Because he's still a member of the Hakkeshou? You know, the same clan trying to eradicate humanity? Though like Ash he kind of treads on that line too, I'll admit.
But characters like Maki and Isolde don't have anything evil pertaining to they themselves (Isolde was most likely kidnapped from somewhere to be used as a guinea pig for the Anti K program, meaning if anything she was an innocent victim), so I don't see how Verse would have the souls of characters that aren't affiliated with evil at all by themselves.
I have no earthly idea that K9999 had such a deep distain K dash. I thought it was a simple rivalry or something. But you open my eyes to the truth thank you. Also I feel nameless's pain
Now in 10/12/2021 AND MY BOY IS BACK BABY LESGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Nameless'story similiar Spencer's story from Bionic Commando
I wish they would keep k9999 and change his design, nameless backstory is neat but he well always be some non canon oc made to replace a copyrighted design
A crazy thing is that Nameless came close to death at least 180 times, so he's pretty resilient. I'd also like to think that if Nameless would ditch NESTS in a heartbeat, but he doesn't know what happened to Isolde, so all he can do is stay loyal in the hopes that he could see her again. Another interesting thing, Nameless's code name, Zhe Prime, uses the Cyrillic letter of Zhe, which looks like Ж. The letter Ж also looks like 2 "K"s back to back, which makes sense cause Nameless is a clone of K', who himself is a guy infused with Kyo's DNA. His hair is also black, half white, which I believe comes from Kyo and K''s hair. I've also noticed lots of people prefer K9999 to Nameless cause Nameless is "edgy," but if all your life was based around painful and suffering tests and coming close to death at least 180 times, I wouldn't think anyone could be cheery after that. This is made worse since he's a clone, and as such, I'm pretty sure there was no wonderful childhood to be had. Also if the only person you ever loved goes missing one day and you don't know why, that just makes things even worse, so I believe that Nameless has many valid reasons to be "edgy," but I wouldn't personally describe him that way.
This happens because some people are stupid and believe Edgy=Bad and therefore fake. There are many realistic reaons for a person to be "edgy", and edgy "behavior" is pretty justified in many situations, even in real life. What happens here is that meany people live a happy life and cannot accept that some people are dealt a bad hand by life.
Moreover, come live in my country where you either grow up to be edgy noticing all of the obvious corruption issues in the government, seeing clearly that the new laws are only put in place to screw the population hard and offer not benefit to the country itself. Or you are born a coward and turn your blind eye to anything and happily present your rear to whoever is in power, preferring to war with your fellow citizens over stupid political sides, instead of dragging the motherfucker who's making everyone's life miserable down from his throne, while reforming the government who has pretty much putrified for what is now 3 whole generations of corruption driven choices. And laws that haven't seen a revision in decades with rules that simply doesn't work nowadays.
I'm so glad that Nameless is in Kof All Star.I love his background story!
Edgy? No. Ungodly hamfisted in his '' tragedy ''? Yup.
Though i've never had the opportunity to play 2000 UM, i think I like Nameless' story more. I particularly like that he confuses Kula for his ex for a brief moment. I really hope he gets canonically put into KOF XV... especially with how they eluded to the shadow of NESTS in the "A New Beginning" manga.
We need Nameless for the next Kof
Yeah but nameless came back on Kof All Star
@@tblack2356 bruh
I hope he makes It in KOFXV
@@cajs100
non-canon unfortunately
We'll both of them are really cool, I was rooting for nameless, until I saw that the voice of k9999 is the same actor that in Akira... And that's a lot...
Again thanks for your vids dude! Awesome as always!!
Wanna see some southtown lore!! Some rock haward / alba.
Maybe some psycho soldiers lore (kensou dragon tattoo??)
Just keep them coming!!
I wonder if K9999 will ever comeback to the KOF games, the fighting games! 🥺
Well looks like he did
How about making them the same clone and K9999 was refined due to his defectiveness, memories wiped and all. K9999 can shape shift so Nameless could be the refined K9999.
K9999 could return with a change in appearance and Nameless could be revealed as the 10,000th clone. Thus keeping both and making for an interesting rivalry. I think it would be cool if K’, K9999, and Nameless made amends and became a new team.
Man i like both of them but i like Nameless more because i knew of him before k9999 because of KOF All stars great mobile game btw and when i saw Nameless he actully reminded me of Lars from Tekken their hair the cool attitude kinda off their cool design bit their powers are different. I just hope Nameless comes back and k9999 too with a new and cooler design.
a gem of a channel
Thank you so much!
I remember the good stuff from KoF manga during my high school years. I was taken down or removed after a good while, but the manga was excellent. Wish I could find to read more of it.
There are ways for the fate of these 2 characters:
K9999 - It's obvious he may never return in future installments, but that doesn't mean his moveset will disappear forever, his moveset may actually work better on another character just like how Wang Jinrei & Bruce Irvin were replaced by both Leroy Smith & Fahkumram from Tekken.
Nameless - Even though he's a "Filler" Character but there are some exceptions of characters that do not belong to the Main Canon Line but eventually becomes a part of the Main Canon, like how Harley Quin went from a DCAU original character into a Full Fledge DC character, same goes for Broly who originated from a DBZ original movie as now a DBS Canon character.
Regardless of all that speculation and reasoning, he could still become a regular char in future dreammatch titles. So there are perfectly plausible ways to keep him in, even if not in story games.
I still prefer K9999 over Nameless.
Nameless is not a bad character but he is another emo guy who wields fire as his main weapon.
We have so many characters like him in KOF
K9999 was a good antagonist and rival for K'
@@meganinten0078 Kula is K''s rival, Eolith were idiots and wanted to make another one.
@@Rei_Tatekei if it wasn't for them we would never have had May Lee, Igniz and the sexy Angel.
K9999 is as powerful as K' and Kula
@@meganinten0078 All those characters are trash except for Angel. May Lee got an uproar for replacing Jhun and King and is Eolith's poor attempt at a Korean Athena. Igniz is Eolith's wank fest of intentionally making the most broken boss ever and goes against SNK's original plans of making the NESTS leader the true boss of 2001.
K9999 reminds me of Tetsuo from the movie Akira. He even has that crazy arm attack like in the movie when Tetsuo loses control and almost kills the commander.
Did u watch the video?
Nameless's theme is *_intense_* af
I think Nameless deserves to be canon, kinda like how DBZ Broly changed into DBS Broly and was canon.
Kinda like how Harley Quinn Originated as a DC Animated Character and was now turned into a Official Canon DC Comic Character.
what is the meaning of canon character ?
@@qwzxhskexn9467 Basically apart of the storyline now. Non-canon would be not apart of the storyline, a spin-off rather.
@Cult Eastwood No he is not and you can look this up. KOF02UM isn't canon, it's more of a "dream match" as stated cause it included characters that were killed off. PLUS, the canon story continues in KOF03. Who told you he was canon?
If anything he's supposed to be the replacement for K49
And now in 2021 we have Krohnen!
Last time I was this early, K9999 was new to KOF
19 / 20 years ago
K'9999 (Tetsuo) : NAMELEEEEESSS
nameless (Kaneda) : Shikereyou, who shikerya
Ngl I like Nameless more tbh. I feel bad when he lost his girlfriend Isolde since those were his happiness and romantic moments with her and they make a lovely couple. His design is epic too. I love that cape he wears and his pyrotechnic abilities are sick. I wasn't expecting his flames to be more of a dark red or blood color.
Nameless and K9999 both should be brought back in KOF XV.
Update there was never any legal issues that just hated his design we can finally close the book still want them in All-Star
i cant believe k9999 is coming back finally albeit with a name change and some sunglasses, i am so so happy
I love Nameless, he is cool and mostly voiced by Daisuke Ono. I like his personality more than K9999. Of course his MAX2 Rinkou where he summons a pillar of flames with a silhouette of Isolde is my favourite move of all. I liked Nameless background music as well when you fight him. I'm sorry K9999 fans, but Nameless is my favourite fighting character among the 2.
Well, at least K9999 is still playable in every port and re-release of KOF 01 and KOF 02 (arcade versions)
Actually, K9999's design was based on Chirico from the anime Armored Trooper VOTOMS.
His name (K9999) is based on that anime.
finally, someone say this!
They are both badass! But K49 takes the cake on that cuz he is based off of one of the best villains in anime.
Akira?
@@i_Ambrose well really its Tetsuo, but yea he is from Akira
Love Heart: I will never appear again in a new KOF game again 😢
K9999: Don't worry.
You are not alone
*hugs*
You do realize Love Heart originated as a Pachinko character right? (AKA from a Gambling Slot Machine correct?)
@@joseurbina3835 Yes, I know.
Too bad SNK sold it
K9999 not for good boys and girls
As a Geese Howard fan, I always enjoyed pulling off K9999's supers for their pretzel inputs. Nameless, now that you mention it, I actually hope they bring him back this year for XV.
K9999 has severe anger issues while Nameless has chronic depression
Funny how they are supposed to be similar and generic, but they are unique and have more personality than any other KOF's characters
Ladies and gentlemen, K9999 is back in KOF XV.
You gotta admit that nameless’ desperation move looks sick,it’s one of the coolest in my opinion
Both are COOL, but I like Nameless a bit more.
Enjoyed watching this, subed to your channel.
Happy 2020 and I'm looking forward to your content.
right
He’s baaaccckkkk
K9999 is so cool. It really sucks that we never see him again because of how similar he is to Tetsuo, even though he has his own backstory.
Nameless would be a dope DLC character in KOF15. I could see him being DLC, considering they’re bringing old characters back, and he wouldn’t really have a team, seeing he’s non-canon. He’s popular too, so he’d sell well
I've played KOF a lot and I have no idea Nameless was a thing in it lol
Reason we never heard of K9999 again is that SNK canonically retconned him out of existence, everything K9999 did on kof 2001, nameless now did plus an added back story.
I played a lot of KoF02 in the arcades and I thought K9999 was cool.
Make both K9999 and Nameless canon. Maybe K9999 changed his name to Krohnen. To add some character in this NEST clone experiment. Maybe Kyo decides to revamp his motorcycle to resemble the Akira bike that fans know of and something that the real Tetsuo really wanted to ride in. At least he would make friendly with K9999. While Nameless actually reforms NEST as a city state civilization dedicated to cloning development and cybernetic technology. Maybe he turns NEST into a legitimate scientific based city state. Maybe his cope of depression is to enhance research and hope that maybe he discovers the key elements to immortality and maybe reviving the dead. Scratch that part. We don’t need zombies in the King of Fighters world.
Maybe the Nameless character resembles Renton Thurston from Eureka 7. And coincidence enough, he’s in love with a blue green haired lady like Renton is with Eureka. And also some major coincidence, Rentons older self has some white dye color in the brunette hair style.
9:30 that unique move is remade from "Kore wa, maru de!" K9999 floats up disappears in all white screen.
Ikr.
That SDM was from KOF 2002 (arcade version)
I call it superman
@@FaZe_StepsisZA My boys in Soweto use to call it that too.
Nameless is the same voice actor of Jotaro Kujo and -
Jjba Fans: Aight F**k it. time to Main nameless
Daisuke Ono.
In Latin America countries K9999 is a kid first character option (asuming playing plus rom hacks) as hes very easy to use.
his supers are hard to pull off
not that he needs them
Love the choices you make, presenting characters who are not in the focus. Me not being too familiar with that huge roster of KOF’s, I appreciate the insight you deliver. ^^
And, yes, I love the thumbnail, too. xD
Nameless, my favorite character.
Great video there. But just to clarify, while it's true that K9999 was a rip off and SNK hated having to use him, he's not technically illegal.
Nozomu Sasaki, being the original voice actor of Tetsuo, would know if voicing K9999 brought up any legal issues. The fact that he returned to voice him in 2002 would mean K9999 didn't actually incur a lawsuit by Katsuhiro Otomo's estate, or they would have filed an injunction against them. Also, Kusanagi was voiced by Kaneda's voice actor. If there was a lawsuit, it would have been extremely disrespectful for both veteran voice actors to not take Otomo's side. That both of them were able to appear in 2002 and reference Akira would mean that Otomo had no objections to K9999.
Also, Eolith wasn't a developer. They had no experience making games and was purely a sponsor. At the time of 2001, SNK was filing for bankruptcy but still operating. Being the financial backers, Eolith had some creative control over the game, which SNK had to accept. Igniz, May Lee and K9999 were the most obvious influences, although SNK was largely OK with the first 2.
K9999 has been disowned by SNK. If you look at the KOF anniversary site, K9999's portraits have been removed and his profile description is very vague.
Nameless, although first appearing in a non-canonical title is essentially a retcon to replace all references to K9999.
Thanks for the info.
Too bad SNK hates K9999
He was my favorite character in the NESTS saga.
He is more than just a Tetsuo's ripoff.
His design is good.
I mean, Benimaru's design in KOF 94 and 95 was just Polnareff but with different colours.
I don't hate Nameless but I prefer K9999.
Also, I ship him with Angel 😊
@@meganinten0078 I think the problem with K9999 is he's a very obvious rip-off, down to having the same lines that Tetsuo did. Benimaru only looks like Polnareff, but his personality is different. If SNK were allowed to give K9999 a more unique personality, I think it would have been very different. Because even with the obvious Tetsuo rip-off, K9999's sprite animations were excellent, and I personally liked using him a lot too. Nameless' sprites don't look as well animated as K9999, especially his anti- air and the drill
@@tcchip Good day.
I like K9999's personality especially in the chinese comic adaptation of KOF 2001
He is very unique in the KOF universe.
I like his rivalry with K' and the fact that Angel is the only one he consider as a friend.
Also, his laugh is very memorable.
Speaking of his animations.
His walking animation is badass 😎
In my opinion, Nameless didn't need those drill moves.
He only needs his flames.
@@meganinten0078 I totally agree with you! I have the 2001 and 2002 comics too, and I thought it did so much more to explain his character than the games did!
Yes, the drill was silly. They should just make it like Joe's Neo Max and have him punch out a long column of flames.
@@tcchip Good idea 👍
I just hope K9999 appears in KOF All Stars.
Anyway,
I wish you a great day.
Thanks for this little conversation
K9999 is the best, no contest. I know SNK doesn't want to have a lawsuit against their ass but they should at least consult their legal team to see if it's possible to bring him back without repercussions.
funny capcom sued a rival company called data east
for a street fighter rip off called fighters history / karnovs revenge
and capcom lost because data east made a game called
karate champ that predates street fighter.
I hope one day SNK reconsiders using K9999. Hell I’ll be happy if he gets mentioned in an ending!
they said in a interview fans may learn storywise what
happened to him
@@Lupo32 I hope so.
K9999 needs to be mentioned in Angel's dialogues.
She is her only 'friend' after all.
k9999 has 2 supermoves the akira arm and then he does another where he jumps in the air and the screen turns white and he just eats your health!
K9999 has the best look. Nameless has the better story.
And the relatable story.
Thanks for the trivia, I also loved Nameless but I think they both were removed from future rosters besides the copyright risks, for being broken as hell.
No problem!
If Nameless was canon what I want him to do is that he betray Nest for obvious reason or he discovers that they can't revive dead people so he would just betray them and destroy their bases at first he may not know what to do and just travels the earth for find his reasons and purpose for his life and maybe eventually joins the good guys.
Yeah.
I hope k999 will be in kof all star and nameless and k9999 at kof xv
You forgot to show K9999 secret desperation move in kof 2002, where he goes into the air, his hair turns white, his red cape appears and the whole screen goes white... Other than that, very awsome video! But i wished u showed that k9999 secret desperation move and talked about it :(
Nameless has that "anime character that only appeared in the movie" vibe about him
Khronen is here the legal k9999
bro to fix your statement k9999 was not a rip off from tetsuo in actual fact it was snk's way of paying homage to the anime akira there is proof is kof 2002 in a intro between k9999 and kusanagi witch is a reference to one of the conversations between kanada and tetsuo
K9999 will always be a favourite to me..
Love from Morocco. Keep it up brother!
Thanks.
I hope we got both back in KoF15
Maybe with unique moves for each
Like:Nameless
Comment:K9999
K9999 rocks
That newcomer in KOF XV sure looks nothing like K9999. /s
That aside i love how the recent comments talking about Krohnen.
in other words SNK had copyright issues with K999 so they stripped him from all akira-like characteristics and renamed it "nameless".
Great informative vid. Just subbed but been watching for awhile.
K9999 is back!
Dreams Comes True 🥲
Angel is going to be happy.
Keep up bro I really like your content 👌👌
Definitely prefer Nameless, but K9999's design, concept art and character are really cool. Like I think Krohnen is a nice middle ground between them and hopefully he retains some of the tragic pathos of Nameless.
Now that Krohnen (K9999) return to KOF how about bringing Nameless to the main story like he came from an alternate universe of KOF
he can come back since nameless isn't the 9999th clone of kyo but the 9999th clone of K' and with the revival of igniz and all the other villains he may become canon
As crazy as it is, I do love the Nests Saga for introducing so many characters I like. Feels kinda like a Marvel or DC storyline sometimes.
Daisuke Ono also voices Jyushimatsu from Osomatsu-San, Nendo from Saiki K, and Leon (Dande) from Pokemon.
K9999 will never be seen again.
though Nameless, I wouldn't mind him making a comeback.
He's on my list of forgotten warriors who need a comeback:
Number 1 on it being Star Fox's Krystal.
I never really liked nameless, dont get me wrong i liked his design and story but i just didn't like that he was a copy of k9999 to replace him. I just wish for k9999 to return with a redesign or something or for nameless to have his own move set while maintaining his story and design.
Also Shingo is voiced by Dio Brando... You know where this is going
Now krohnen or k49 uses to raise his one hand like nameless
Nameless is way cooler imo, I hope he's gonna make it to KOF15, would be awesome
R.I.P. K9999, he is now officially Erased from Existence of the KOF Canon forever.
Rest in peace K9999 😢😞
All hope is lost...
I hate SNK and Netmarble.
They have ruined the story of KOF 2001 and NESTS team forever.
Now K9999 is with Classic Sindel (pre MK9) and Scrappy Doo.
Characters that are overhated by the fans and/or no longer exist because of stupid retcons.
I HATE RETCONS 😠
@@meganinten0078 K9999's Storyline literally goes absolutely nowhere now, SNK not only notoriously Hated him, but it's most likely the Rumors were actually true after all, they are really scared of getting to deal with a lot of Copyright Issues because his Design and Moveset was literally taken straight from Tetsuo in the "Akira" Anime and Manga,
So it's most likely Nameless going to be Canon eventually, But his Backstory and Design needs to change though, because we already got a Character like that before. (Shadow The Hedgehog)
@@joseurbina3835 Which makes me wonder...
Why couldn't they just change K9999's design?
Also, not all his moves are taken from Tetsuo.
His arm canon, fire abilities and drill arm are original stuff.
Now, if you want a good adaptation of the events of KOF 2001 just read the manhua adaptation.
The writers introducted K9999 really good and make him more than just a "Tetsuo clone".
They also make him unique during the adaptation of the events of KOF 2002
It is a shame those writers did a better job with K9999 than SNK
I think Eolith wanted to make him as important as K' and Kula.
(The arcade intro of KOF 2001 and many promotional material of the game are proof)
@@joseurbina3835 Also, I think K9999 is the only homage character to the anime/manga Akira in gaming.
Yeah...
I also think Nameless is going to become canon 😞
I gave him a try, I really did but it is not the same...
K9999 was cooler than him
The NESTS saga is not longer my favorite saga.
Not anymore...
SNK have re released KOF 2000 for modern consoles but I don't think they are going to do the same for 2001 because you know why
@@meganinten0078 It's either they couldn't Risk changing K9999's Design is do to how Iconic his look really is, but however changing his Design would "Alienate" his Character and Fans would make a huge Backlash,
It's kinda like how *Dante* from the "Devil May Cry" series where they changed his look and Iconic White Hair into a Black Hair Emo Punk in the "DmC: Devil may Cry" 2013 Reboot (I actually love the Game though).
Who is here after the new trailer?
