I love how SNK ain't afraid to flat out change character themes based on the mood of the stories. Theu dont lean on nostalgia nowhere near as much as their rivals
@@CharlesDLincoln when you say it like that, it sounds like Iori’s themes haven’t been good since 96. But come on almost all of Iori’s themes are phenomenal
I’m actually glad with that being scrapped but it would’ve been nice if Iori actually temporarily retired in 99 at least in story even if he was playable cause he doesn’t really have much do anything to do there.
One day I hope they make an entire anime series on KOF from start to finish. Kyo is a baddass and non-cliche character that's charismatic. Plus, there are hundreds of characters in KOF, each with layered stories, which for a fighting game is super impressive.
My favorite is Hanoko's story. She just wants to be a sumo but traditions and her stature keeps people from taking her serious. I would love to see her arc get a satisfying ending, she's got such heart and unique design for what amounted to a side character
@Koyltrane there are anime series that also does this though (notably Pokemon, Detective Conan, etc). And nothing would prevent the anime from slightly shaking the chronology to make more sense. The real issue is that it would be such a ambitious, large scale, long term project that no one is ever going to greenlight it.
@@El_RorroV yeah and I stopped playing it because in lateral games there was no originality and players look more like cartoon than fighters. Infact I don't even like the 3d version because they are incapable of producing any masterpiece soundtrack or new player. This is why a project should not be stretched like elastic when story ends. I am born in Oldskool times and will be fan of Oldskool gaming always.
@@saiko_oro this grandpa learned authentic gaming by inserting coins, not like current generation where you play free games. SNK till date organises KOF global tournament only for 98, I hope this will give enough evidence how big was 98. Grandpa showers his blessings on you always :-)
Kyo and Iori were actually planned to DIE together at the end of KOF' 97, but it was scrapped. therefore, technically, This is also supposed to be his Last Theme. interesting, huh?
Man, I wouldn't have my primary main then in ALL of KOF...I don't even know who my third character would be for my team then. *Man...Ryo would be seen in SUCH different light for me then.*
Year 97, This flame was hottest, and it was kyo's best year. When i hear the first guitar part, i can't help thinking about '97 kyo's crimson flame and super strong combos.
i remember i was watching the ending of the sacred treasures team in KOF 97 and when Iori grabbed Orochi and Kyo was about to deliver the final blow i heard this music playing in my head
Rafael M. Marinho eu só n gosto tanto do kof 97 pq ele é quebrado e dá muita brecha pra combo infinito, e pq maior parte do tempo é só barulho de platéia no fundo
KennyJoão Metaleiro bem, esses combos infinitos são meio chatinhos de decorar certinho, também é só não usar. Se for jogar no versus com um ou mais amigos, é só combinar pra não fazer um infinito
Quien no se emociona al escuchar este soundtrack en el Kof 97 y dice aquí viene el héroe de esta saga y el mismo alivio cuando deja de sonar porque dices ya se acabó por fin jaja 😂
So true man, 97 had the best story (Kyo iroi and chizuru vs Orochi) and 98 had the proven best fight system balance till now. And 97 originated the top notch sound track, esaka and Orochi hell group themes are very very good.
The King Of Fighters'97 was the first game in the franchise that I had contact with and made me fall in love with a fighting game character ... Kyo Kusanagi has always been and always will be my true Crush. 😍🥰🤩 ♥ ️ ♥
This theme would be perfect if a video is shot on a midday looking down at a straight desert road from a small rock cliff, and two E100 Corolla sedans break through an old wooden barrier to the road, and as the day passes until the nightfall, the song goes on until the very end, when those cars speed off the POV, all with a 90s filter.
1997 fué el primer juego esté juego lo conocí por Danny La mera neta también lo jugaba con mis amigos en las fiestas del señor San José primer día no se olvida el tren del recuerdo
KoF 97 has some of the best music in the Orochi saga. Too bad they dont release the releases with the option for team themes to play like they usually do it
Tears=Farewell,hero
Goodbye Esaka=Your story will be always be remembered
Esaka forever= We're back!

Now if only they'd actually remix Esaka Forever for once instead of Esaka 96 again.
This song is so perfect, it can cure cancer
It can stop wars

Sometimes that works. Sometimes it doesn't. Iori still has never had a better theme than his 96 one.
@@CharlesDLincoln he still has some good ones
@@CharlesDLincoln when you say it like that, it sounds like Iori’s themes haven’t been good since 96. But come on almost all of Iori’s themes are phenomenal
@@CharlesDLincoln all of his themes are still good. I would even say Tranquilizer and saxophone 5 give his 96 theme competition.
@@CharlesDLincoln mf forgot about sadistic eyes smh
Esaka Forever is an incredible grand finale to Kyo's destined battle. The boy becomes a man and saves the world from the apocalypse.
It's supposed that he was going to die along with Iori after the fight with Orochi but it was scrapped
I’m actually glad with that being scrapped but it would’ve been nice if Iori actually temporarily retired in 99 at least in story even if he was playable cause he doesn’t really have much do anything to do there.

My personal Top 5 Kyo Themes
1. Tears (KOF 99')
2. Esaka Forever (KOF 97'-KOF 98')
3. Goodbye Esaka (KOF 2000)
4. Esaka? (KOF XI)
5. Esaka (KOF 94)
4. Esaka (KOF XII)*
Where's '95 by far the best 😊😊
DBM Nishi I think he mean the ex kyo one
Esaka Continues is awesome.
Goodbye esaka XIII 1 ST
ESAKA FOREVER 2ND
ESAKA??? '96 AST 3 RD
ESAKA CONTINUES 4 TH
' 94 ESAKA ARRANGED 5 TH
This music really has a coming of age vibe.

It would be a bit tough to make a series, since so much happened but time doesn't move and no one really ages.

The Best Arranged Soundtrack is made by the old but gold SNK.
Absolute truth, KOF died after 98

Thank god they didn't do it! Terry was also plan to die at the end of 2000
So that's why Iori gave Kyo a heartfelt look before he landed the punch and why Yuki said she was waiting for him. Glad all 3 are still alive lmao
They almost killed two of the most important chararcters who basically made this series so popular

Como não lembrar do...."WINNER IS KYO!" Nossa cara! Grandes tempos! Valeu SNK!
Kyo da 97 é brabo!
ore no kachi da!
I love Tears, but that was the very first KOF I've played and the very first VGM I listened to.
Long live to ESAKA FOREVER! My favorite soundtrack!
This BGM made me shed manly tears of awesomeness😭 Its that epic👍🔥
🙌 *ESAKA FOREVER!* 🙌
I love the intro to this. It's at once somber and nostalgic, but it has a timeless aura to it as well.
Ótimos lutadores,kombos irados,especiais fantásticos,músicas top,97% de pura nostalgia.Não haverá jogo De luta melhor.
It seems that Esaka Forever is a masterpiece to the rich depiction of KYO.
i remember i was watching the ending of the sacred treasures team in KOF 97 and when Iori grabbed Orochi and Kyo was about to deliver the final blow i heard this music playing in my head
I'll just keep comming here every year until the entire youtube network colapses.

@@SailorKOF2002 es verdad capo me las pasaba horas y horas asta que mi señora me vendria a buscar xD
Esta es sin duda una de las mejores canciones que kyo tiene, lo único malo es que también es uno de los temas menos usados en kof.
para sacarlo tenias que pelear con iori si no me acuerdo, y estaba bueno que cambiara el tema cuando se enfrentaban jeje
thank you for a dose of my teen years back.
2:41 that part...
Una de las mejores, sin duda
草聽京主題曲真的帥死，1995聽到我現在快40歲都不膩
Muito bom essa theme! Junto a da 96 as melhores esakas!
+Frederico Frazao Só perde pra Arashi no Saxophone
mas nada supera Tears
Ah, 97, fue tan valioso en el mundo de The King of Fighters
KoF 97 truly has the best soundtrack of all
It reminds me of all the memories at the arcade game in the streets of Karachi Pakistan. ❤ THE KING OF FIGHTERS
como amo este tema!!! kyo el mejor!!!!!
Pleno 2020 oyendo está joya con audífonos encerrado en casita :3
First 20 years of Esaka Forever!!
One of many of the amazing soundtracks in `97.
Boas lembranças do Neo Geo CD, essa OST é um espetáculo!
Quien no se emociona al escuchar este soundtrack en el Kof 97 y dice aquí viene el héroe de esta saga y el mismo alivio cuando deja de sonar porque dices ya se acabó por fin jaja 😂
Kof 97-98 Kyo >> any kyo in the rest kofs honestly this was Kyo on his prime
I would say the later Kyo's have better movesets but that's just me personally.
Until KOFXIII, he has recovered & goes all out. Check out his NeoMax.
Kyo with Mushiki is the best. And talking about the SDM version. So 97 98 and 2003.
2002UM Kyo is godlike, he can do 80-100% combos with like 3 bars
So true man, 97 had the best story (Kyo iroi and chizuru vs Orochi) and 98 had the proven best fight system balance till now. And 97 originated the top notch sound track, esaka and Orochi hell group themes are very very good.
i'm so glad i became a KOF fan
You should be proud indeed
The Best KOF theme. So Epic.

Igual yo, la 97 fue la primera que jugué

Sensacional!
I love this theme. It perfectly encapsulates Kyo's character and arc story. 2:16 is my most favourite part of the song.
Técnicamente y literalmente esto es mi jodida infancia...
De los mejores temas de kof en general súper bueno y creo que la mejor cancion para kyo junto a Esaka Continues de Kof XIII
Epic theme
