not only does Clark do three backbreakers in a row but he ends it with a burning hammer the most dangerous move in pro wrestling history but thats why we love him.
MOTW Terry doesn't have Rising Tackle because he gave it away to Rock. Or Terry must equip his hat to unlock Rising Tackle. Will need to do more SNK lore research to verify either of these theories.
played this trough most of my childhood, for me and my sisters this was the fucking greatest fighting game ever. was surprised to find that this KOF is not very well known or liked by most... still got great memories tough
Maximum Impact 2 was the first KOF game I've owned, picked it out of a bargain bin I think lol The weird way the announcer said Hyena's name on the character select screen (it basically sounded like "Hyenerp") made me think I had a buggy copy but now I see the announcer is just Like That.
If I remember correctly, I got the KOF: Maximum Impact 2/2006 the year it came out that fall (that or the spring the following year). I had been eyeballing it for awhile under the glass case at the then Play N Trade we had where I live and finally got it when I had the funds to spare. It's rough around the edges, notably due to Falcoon's involvement, but it's still a solid game and one of my favorite fighting games to this day. It would be nice to see a compilation release of the Maximum Impact series with online support and maybe a few of the better OCs from the game to pop up in KOF15, if nothing else than to watch Matt literally eat his words via mac and cheese.
It’s so sad to hear people hate on 2006. It’s honestly my favorite KOF which is a cardinal sin but it feels the most unique to me whereas the other mainline titles just feel like StreetFighter ripoffs
What? They are on a different level than Street fighter plus they came out yearly. 3rd strike was the last good game and in 1999 SFIV and SFV were so bad.
I should be upset that the first thing I thought when you started and saw that animated crab is "I know this area from yakuza". From real world Dōtonbori? No. Yakuza Sontonbori. That series has infested my mind, and I don't think after 10+ games I'm ever going to recover
Kuroko, the judge from Samurai Shodown, was avaliable to be played with though cheats on the NeoGeo MVS (is that one the home one? I always take one for another - the home console) version of SamSho2 already!
Go check one of Iori's original skin alternative colors. He's literally Woody Woodpecker, with all blue clothes, white belly and a big red puff of hair
I love the KoF Maximum Impact games! I love the way it plays, I love most of the stages, the attacks feel so satisfying to pull off and I love most of the new characters (I only hate Nagase). I wish they made more, especially after the cliffhangers for Alba's and Soiree's stories
3D games take more work to re-release. Players expect the engine updated to clean up the graphics. With 2D games they can just release them emulated as is.
I'm a rising tackle fan, but specifically a charge input rising tackle, I find it irreparably disgusting to have to do standard inputs on it, especially in 15, same goes for rock
You know what, Matt? I suspect you might not care for Falcoon's character designs all that much. Jokes aside, they weren't all unsalvageable. Duke was actually kind of cool, and Dolores from XV was basically Luise with the melanin turned up to 11 and a butt lift. Soiree kind of grew on me too. The Beart sisters, on the other hand, can die in a fire.
@@MattMcMuscles I'm not saying the game sucks, i'm just sayin it sucks that she isnt incluced, i admit the furmulation was confusing. (Even tho i think Maximum Impact aint that good compared to the rest of the KOF franchise for other reasons, like the OCs being mostly bad and the artstyle a bit meh. But i cant blame them, that was probably their first step in fumm 2D KOF)
new intro is clean af
Rising Tackle is incredibly effective, but smashing someone down with the Power Dunk is always so satisfying.
-Tell that to 2D Rock Howard.-

The new opening made sure to present Matt to us in such a way so that we can fully understand his appeal.
The announcer is just incredible
Agreed he's giving it a thousand percent on I wanna hear more of him
Yessss, I want a remastered collection of all the Maximum Impacts!
You should totally play The Last Blade 1 & 2. Out of all SNK fighter games, this little series didn't get much love in terms of getting widely known.
Last Blade 2 is probably on of my favorite fighting games ever, it's close between it and garou.
Mizoguchi from Fighter's History was a good addition.
And he's voiced by Robert's original VA in MIRA
played this trough most of my childhood, for me and my sisters this was the fucking greatest fighting game ever. was surprised to find that this KOF is not very well known or liked by most... still got great memories tough
My only memory from this game is thinking Chae Lim was cool. Bring back Chae Lim.
Love this mess of s game!

That announcer just a few years out from getting that sweet Kamen Rider money voicing Decade's belt.
Final KoF Ride: T-t-t-terry Bogard
I'm a fan of Rising Tacos
These alt costumes look like what you can do in a Tekken game except you didn't pick the outfit
To this day I want a Hizoku team in a KoF game with Lin, Duo and Xiao in it.
i can't believe they got Big the cat as the announcer for this game
Yo I never knew a Metal Slug character was in a KOF game! That's so sick!
Strangely enough i got a swap magic just to play this game on PS2. And yeah I still play it with friends a couple times a month.
That announcer from Maximum Impact Regulation A sounds like the DecaDriver announcer from Kamen Rider Decade (2009) TV show.
The announcer sounds like someone doing an impression of someone else’s impression of George Takei.
Beart is a perfectly cromulent name.
This game has more jiggle than doa
6:06 Waluigi, get out of there, that's not your family
Sakurai translator sounded like Liam
The samsho ref was playable in the first samsho for game boy if my old ass remembers correctly
KOF XII Wha Happun, when? The game that nearly brung SNK to ruin.
why is this game's stage select straight out of Dance Dance Revolution? lmfao
Glad I wasn't the only one to think that.
SNK now owns the fighting characters from Fighters history so he is now a SNK character
just received the Matt mcmuscles plushie, it’s so cute!!!! Thank you!

I freaking love you, Matty Fatty-kun!
Pretty sure the sequel to Fighter's History was a Neo Geo game so that would explain Mizoguchi.
Oh hell yeah, Fighter's History Dynamite.
Until I read 'Crimson' I thought this was going to be about a beat 'em up on pokemon Ash.
Every time I hear that Sakurai Terry thing I'm trying not to cry laughing hahaha great vid Mr.Muscles
It’s so sad to hear people hate on 2006. It’s honestly my favorite KOF which is a cardinal sin but it feels the most unique to me whereas the other mainline titles just feel like StreetFighter ripoffs
Oof
@@MattMcMuscles yeah lol I know shun the heretic lol
What? They are on a different level than Street fighter plus they came out yearly. 3rd strike was the last good game and in 1999 SFIV and SFV were so bad.
Rising Tackle is THE best special move in any fighting game
You can buy this on PS3 PSN with Japanese account for anyone interested
Yeah, we totally got done dirty. Even more on the PS4 should have been getting this.
Soiree Keira and Wild Wolf Terry look like what would happen if they ever made a Magic Mike Fighting Game.
This game has a special place in my heart cuz Makoto Mizoguchi
A lot of costumes were cut from this version, and they also removed Armored Ralf from the roster.
I should be upset that the first thing I thought when you started and saw that animated crab is "I know this area from yakuza". From real world Dōtonbori? No. Yakuza Sontonbori.

The announcer sounds like a South Park voice, like the fake movie trailer narrator.
"Rob Schneider is: Terry Bogard."
Wow, this might be the most cowboy-themed male strippers I've ever seen in a game.
This UI and presentation actually looks much better than the PS2 version
Because this was originally for PS3
Kuroko, the judge from Samurai Shodown, was avaliable to be played with though cheats on the NeoGeo MVS (is that one the home one? I always take one for another - the home console) version of SamSho2 already!
The title speaks to my soul

Really Hoping if you could try the True Crime: Streets Of LA
Why would he? There's nothing to see there.
@@kingofdust9725 just wanna see his opinion about the game
That announcer… is that Kamen Rider Decade’s driver??
I got 2006 game on ps2, and played the hell out of it.
Team 1:
Mingon
Mai
Rock
Team 2:
Leon Neville
Ninon
B. Jenet
I love this game so much 💚
WHAT HAPPUN…… METAL GEAR SURVIVE!!!!
Always sad that garou terry lacks rising tackle
7:41 - WHY DOES THE STAGE SELECT SCREEN LOOK LIKE IT'S FROM A DDR GAME??????
Why is Ash packing so much cheek?
Tiger bazooka!
@7:42 Did the announcer guy have a fucking stroke when recording this line? xD
Hot take: I actually REALLY like Blue Mary's alternate costume from Maximum Impact
Would you maybe be up for playing Last Blade? I loved that game, but apparently I was one of 6 people in the entire world to play it lol
Hi, I was one of those six people, lol. It's one of my favorite fighting game series next to most of SNK's catalog. XD
Ngl I thought terry said "go back" and not "go bang"
Mai looks like a balloon animal in this game
I'm a rising tackle fan, but specifically a charge input rising tackle, I find it irreparably disgusting to have to do standard inputs on it, especially in 15, same goes for rock
RIISIN TACO!

The Beart sisters, on the other hand, can die in a fire.
I wish we got this game
Mignon from this game or Area from Street Fighter EX series… whose worse?
Didn't know Ted Wassanasong was into KoF
nice cold ones reference matt.
Bill'Ms vs Kimmy. That is all.
The game looks pretty fun
Maybe Fatal Fury team story mode in XIV next👉👈
I also watch Botchamania. ❤️
Still have no idea why Matt hates Ash so much
Isn't it pronounced K prime? Just like K9999 is pronounced K Four Nine?
Blue Mary got Netflixed on her 2nd costume before Netflix even existed.
Im so glad they put a Yakuza stage in this game 8:25 :P
No rising taco?
AH YUU OKEH??
also, that Mai is some cursed shit.
ash crimson is the worst fighting game protagonist in the history of the genre.
Erh, a King of Fighters game without King. Kinda sucks :/
While I get liking a specific character, saying a game sucks (that has like 30 characters) is a bit of stretch.
