Ranking Every Fatal Fury Character
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- FINALLY THIS IS DONE. This has been brewing since the start of the year. If anyone wonders if my opinions have changed since scripting and recording to finishing the video, I would probably bump up Toji and Xiangfei and knock down Tsugumi (her theme is such dogshit that I couldn't believe what I was hearing)
Also I know no one reads the description, but by the same logic I used to place Alice on the list, I should've technically also ranked Lilly. If you're really that curious, she's probably somewhere in the low 40s - high 30s.

It's crazy to think that The King of Fighters would be nothing without the Fatal Fury characters, but even so Snk disrespects them in their modern games and treats them as a joke, even the supposed company muscot Terry Bogard doesn't escape.
Eh . Even in the fatal Fury game there were treated like a joke . Garou being the worst offender.
Wait what are you talking about? How are they treated as jokes?
@@maxanderson3733 Well Terry and co never win anything in "KOF". They are mainly in there as slotfillers, and are made to look weak and ordinary next to the main cast despite being who they are. In other forms of KOF such as the hong kong comics, Terry gets jobbed out like crazy and loses for the shittest reasons. Even Ryo is treated better.
@@doomvictor3934 well, yeah, you don't want them stealing the spotlight from the proper main characters of the story
@@bloomallcaps That maybe, but that does not mean they should be made to look bad to the proper main characters despite being who they are. Now if they were purely created for "KOF" it would not be much an issue.
You don't know how gratifying it is for me to have someone recognize Andy's character, well at least outside Latin America since he's a very popular character here, I know a lot of people who like his character and play with him, but still I think he deserves much more love, recognition and respect from the fans as well as characters like Terry, Kyo, Iori or Mai, I genuinely think he's one of the best characters not only from Fatal Fury or Kof, but Snk in general, for me he is super iconic, charismatic and above all a very interesting and deep character, He's been part of my main team in every Kof along with Terry and Joe since i was a little kid (Fatal Fury team is the best Kof team, fight me) he's one of my favorite characters not only from Snk, but from fighting games in general, it's a shame that some people think that his character revolves around Mai and it's just the opposite LOL
Ps: 37:45 Joe is such a Chad, that's why he is my favorite Snk character 😂
If I've said it once I've said it a thousand times: Andy is full of untapped potential. It really feels like SNK was building something up for him in the 90s but...I guess they dropped it all and introduced Rock instead. Sadly nowadays it feels like Andy doesn't even need to exist, but I will die on the hill that Andy is awesome and deserving of more attention.
latam is great with snk talks sometimes, from experience in mexico. for mexicans at least they probably got the most fatal fury and metal slug arcade machines especially in their peak/prime when it comes to the snk arcade scene back in bean land as most people later started playing at these places called frikiplazas for tournaments sakes at locals when arcades were going low over there instead since was cheaper for most places to buy a console a kof13 copy. anyways yeah latam really appreciates the characters when looked down as ACTUAL characters too and not just gameplay!
@@JohnSexDD For real bro, I don't know about you, but Geese and Jeff are kind of a parallel for Andy and Terry, it would be really interesting to see Andy get corrupted by revenge and envy and follow the same path as Geese and then becoming Terry's new nemesis
@@elinator8889 As a Brazilian I can say that Kof was part of our country's culture, almost every bar had an arcade with a Kof game and people were simply passionate about the games, maybe Kof is as famous as Street Fighter around here, but unfortunately with the arrival of consoles and the end of the arcade era Kof lost his popularity and kind of stayed in the past and only old school guys like me are still fanatical of the series, luckily with the arrival of Kof's 13, 14 and 15 new players got to know the franchise and old arcade players were able to enjoy a good Kof again
@@rorschach936 I wish man. You're telling me that Andy is just okay with Terry A. Beating him in every fight they have B. Being chosen by Tung to carry on Hakkyokuseiken and C. Being the one to defeat Geese for good?
Okay we all have our opinions, but why isn't Duck King ranked number one?
There are no characters that are more underrated than Andy and Joe, i don't fucking care, they deserve so much more...
Andy Bogard is my personal favourite SNK fighter. He has the best moveset and a great looking fighting style imo! I know, he doesn't appear in this list but Ryo Sakazaki is my nr. 2 and his 10 hit desperation attack in Fatal Fury Special looks so cool...
At least Andy and Mai are an item in KOF (though their dynamic is largely the same; now she's trying to rope him into marriage). I think they hooked up sometime around 2000, considering that's when they got the unique intro where she pranks him with the baby puppet.
As for Geese' appeal, I think what makes him work is he feels like an actual, intimidating human being. The over-the-top fighting game bosses of KOF are cool, no doubt but I think a lot of Geese's appeal comes from the fact he feels like a real person who would honest-to-god fuck you up. Not just in a fight, but with how much he realistically sells the crime lord element of his character, as well. he doesn't feel like a gangster caricature, he feels like an actual kingpin, and his moveset feels genuinely strong and intimidating as opposed to a lot of fighting game characters where it's "look at my cool projectile/special effects". Even his own special effect stuff feels more visceral compared to other fighting game bosses.
Put it pretty well there, yeah. Geese is played pretty straight in a genre with so many over the top martial art masters and magic users and it makes him all the more intimidating for it.
joe in the OVA alone is without a doubt my personal favorite
i still get a chuckle out of BE SILENT, WOMAN
Great ! I really enjoyed your content once more... We definitely come from the same generation... Terry, Andy and Joe are so iconic heroes for me... Great video!
Before I ramble I just wanna say this was a really good video and despite being a bit nervous to watch it I’m glad I did. Excellent work, Mr. Sex. I’m very certain that nobody will ever read this comment but I wanted to do it anyway so I can sleep good tonight
I absolutely adore every character that has ever been in a Fatal Fury game. Even the most boring of boring characters from the series are still gold to me. Something about this series just sparks all my happy emotions and makes me smile.
I’ve thought pretty hard about my favorite characters from media as a whole and Mai and Terry have been hogging the top two spots for as long as I’ve cared about having a favorite character. I buy games they are in just to play as them and nab collectible figures of them to the detriment of my financial wellbeing.
Terry instantly sold me when I saw him, and literally everything about him is just perfect to me. His personality, design, gameplay, voice, story, I CANNOT GET ENOUGH. He is truly one of the characters in the genre, if not the best.
But somehow I like Mai more. I am aware she has some issues with not having a lot of depth, but something about her just makes me smile. She just seems to always be in a good mood, with a lot of infectious enthusiasm. Not to mention that she’s one of the first few characters alongside Terry I picked as a main when getting into SNK games.
I remember the one thing that really took my Mai bias skyward was finding out she’s a metalhead. It seems so out of pocket, but it just immediately made her really endearing to me. I forget where I found out, but I also heard that someone mentioned in an interview that Pantera is her favorite band, and that inspired me to check them out. Also, Mai in ripped jeans with a leather jacket goes super hard and I’m praying they give her a costume like that eventually. Fingers crossed for City of the Wolves! Even though most of this is pure bias and probably desperate headcanoning she’s my favorite character in all of fiction, seeing her makes me feel safe I guess. Terry too, can’t leave him out.
Yeah dunno what my point was I just needed to gush. Once again, amazing video Mr. Sex.
Hey man even if Mai isn't my favourite don't let that sway how you feel! I'm glad you enjoyed the vid brother
@@JohnSexDD Thanks man, I didn’t think anyone would ever see this lol
You just made my day
it was so cathartic to hear you diss Xiangfei,
this little girl apparantly took our favorite native american boxers spot!
justice 4 Rick 🕯
Anyone watch this due to mark of the wolves coming back?
1:22 this one is subjective-I like Rick, but personally prefer Xiangfei. She is a bit less unique in terms of design though, I'd imagine the "cute Chinese girl in qipao" look isn't too uncommon.
3:22 Dong is a real name apparently (Chinese from what I found, but not unlikely to be used in Korea). He's probably one of my favorite SNK characters, though, so I may be biased. I actually do wish he took one more special from Kim, it feels like his moveset is one attack short of full.
8:33 Jae is cool, but I kinda dislike that he's basically Kim again. His only differences are one special and one super, and while I get that being like his dad is part of his story, it still feels as if he's there solely to serve as Kim. He does have more development though, which Dong doesn't have.
33:15 I think a while ago, one of the KoF devs/leaders said they would look at adding Kim in another season of DLC. Most likely, the current season is already done or close to done, so that's as good as it will get. Team wise, I really hope they don't do Chang and Choi again. Ignoring my personal dislike of them, he was only put with them because the original devs never made a third criminal (which they kinda did with Xanadau), and they don't really mesh well with Kim besides the whole "rehabilitation" thing.
Jhun and May Lee would be cool, but if it were up to me, I'd actually go with Dong and Jae. Have a triple Kim team-it would bring back two characters who haven't been seen since 1999, plus they're different enough. Give Jae a new DP, give Dong one more special, add some more of Kim's old moves back to him, and they'd be pretty unique. It's not like we haven't had a similar scenario with the Kyokugen characters, or Shotokans from SF, where they started off as clones but became pretty unique over time.
Side notes: Blue Mary is dope, but I personally prefer the red top in KoF. Do give her the green jacket though (Garou Terry style). On that note, I prefer Garou Terry over regular Terry. Also, Andy is dope, I wish he wasn't sidelined so much (and bro, if he ain't gonna bang Mai, at least have him be honest instead of this stupid awkward "will won't" shit).
Should do a movelist ranking. Like I agree with the Hon-Fu take but that movelist is godlike.
Hon Fu is a homage to Jackie Chan and that makes him S Tier
Actually to be technical:
He is based on Bruce Lee in Way of the Dragon (1972). As well as Jackie Chan in Police Story 3: Supercop (1992).
@@KenMasters. Jackie's antics and comedy flavor combined with jet li' nunchacku skills I guess
This was way more entertaining than it had any right to be. Good pacing and jokes really helped.
The list was also solid, my only criticism is alot of media outside Fatal Fury really influenced these picks, sure that's what most of these characters are known for, but Mai is surprisingly subdued and graceful in the actual series, whereas she's a shrill annoying pair of sentient udders everywhere else.
7:02 TO BE FAIR; Terry has kind of killed multiple people by this point from Geese to technically Krauser. For all intents and purposes Kevin more realistically mistook John Wayne Gacy for Al Bundy. He wasn’t WRONG that Terry was a serial killer per say… just wrong about WHICH ONE he was.
To be fair, Terry did try to save Geese from falling, but the latter decided to be a spiteful bitch and refused to be saved
Chicken of the sea is an actual brand in America (I take it from your reaction that it isn't in the UK?). It's actually one of, if not the largest/most common brands of (canned) tuna here.
damn i thought that was just some zany SNK shit. now i gotta eat some chicken of the sea
@@JohnSexDD I'm almost willing to bet someone from snk saw the brand in America, thought it was hilarious, and decided to put it in. Tbh it's not that good though lol it's just plain ol canned tuna.
Great list!! I agree with alot of this, especially the thoughts on Andy!👍
What an amazing video, you deserve a lot more subscribers on your channel, good job man 👍
Thank you bro!
Love the video, tbh tho, I adore Kain. I do a lot of research on characters I find interesting, and yeah it should be in the game ofc, but I love Kain and Grant’s lore quite a lot.
I don't agree with all the rankings on this list. But I like your list. Your reasoning is good because it is well thought out and your bias is funny and honest. Also this list is far from cliché and it's not PREDICTOBO. One last thing.
I agree with where you placed Mr. Karate 2 and he is worthy of top 3 but, shouldn't be.
Great video. But you can't deprive people of possibly the only opportunity they'll EVER have of demonstrating they know who Lau is!
hahaha
Omg I got mentioned in the video just for icluding me I won’t unsubscribe and yes I’m the one and only li Xiangfei and yeah I’m flexing deal with it lol you insult me but no pin or heart lmao
we are still cool xiangfei. its just there are like 45 people cooler than you
@John Sex lmao yet none of them is cute tomboy like me
@John Sex once again thanks for mentioning my channel lol I did not see that coming do you ever plan a discord server
@@calcium7875 yep, I will probably give a link with my next video
@John Sex yayyy
Hoe Higashi will always be my favorite Fatal Fury character. When the OVA were released, it just made him look cooler.
YES. Raiden/Big Bear RULES. He became one of my all time favorites for no real reason. I just like the guy and have a blast playing as him.
"Dead franchise"
Has it ever felt so fucking good to have been proven wrong only a few months later, then Terry and Mai being annouced for SF6?
Joe's "Be Silent Woman!" needs to be thrown into a future FF game just for him to be my fave
Based for roasting Li shit fei. 1:22 because I can’t get enough of this.
Cringe for doing my man Grant so dirty.
42 minutes???? HELL YEAH im gonna enjoy this one.
My fav has been Raiden since FF1 came out in 1991. Everything about that character, music, look, moves, incredibly badass.
I will not stand Xiangfei hate
18:01 Andy "got it in" with Mai . What going on about ? them 2 vs intro shows Mai cast an illusion spell of a *Baby* which shocks Andy , probably 1 of the best vs battle intro in fighting games . It's a few in KoF
lol you bugging on those ranks but Keep SNK ALIVE!!!
Xiangfei is freaking awesome. Highly disagree.
Can you pehaps put the music in the description next too the footage sources?
great tracks you are using ,
i like your takes mr Sex , keap it up
Good idea, I'll start doing that
Man, I dig this vid, to see hwa jai, & Raiden get luv is bees kneez
Give Micheal a time to shine
Awesome video bro. I'm glad that you put W. Krauser high on your list, he is one of my favorite SNK fighters, I love Geese Howard but Wolfgang works better for me. Terry Bogard No 1 - can't argue with that he is the man. Also very good narration and very fun video, good job.
Thanks for the kind words bro! And yeah - Krauser is so underrated
Terry’s dat best of the best! Fk Kyo or Iori
The fucking GameDude clip lmao
Good shit as always
Very good Mr Sex
On Geese
Respect the Dong! Always been my main in Garou
I disagree with it, but I respect your dedication in portraying Hotaru as a sex-obsessed floozie.
What do you think of her super in COTW ? She's obviously enjoying herself less.
It definitely loses something by removing her big gasm face, doesn't have anything to differentiate it from other big ki blast supers anymore. Might've been worth to piss off the anti-woke crowd, though.
@@JohnSexDD I imagine a scenario in which Hotaru falls for another competitor during the game and a later patch adds in her original face and scream specifically when fighting that character😆.
I totally agree with your ranking🙂👍
Of course tizoc is the most based character in garou along with B. Jenet, rock is only remember for his protagonist.
You know Hon fu is literally Jackie Chan. That is why he has that goofy style.
Are you doing an Art of Fighting ranking?
If enough people want it
Ryo Sakazaki was in Fatal Fury before FF Wild Ambition as Mr. Karate Jr. In FF Special to be precise.
your channel is way too underrated. What a good fucking video
thank you brother!
I’d put geese at 2 personally but I’d say I was happy to see that appreciation for Billy he’s the best SNK rival ever 100 times better then iori cause he’s just gay for Kyo and does the same shit
Billy and Terry actually have an interesting dynamic, which is more than I could ever say about Kyo and Iori
Great stuff man. Love to see more English speaking content for KoF/Fatal Fury.
The reason i personally like Geese can be reflected by his iconic counter,while he has some goofy stuff (and honestly i can see why someone would call his counter corny),he feels like he can put his money where his mouth is no matter how big the challenge with meaty hits that could probably lariat a moving truck. He doesn't make it look easy (Imho) and that's the point,he is here to pull out all the stops and he wants everyone to know that.
Axel Hawk should be ranked way higher up, the man is so strong and i love his charge moves, so flashy. One of the most memorable chars from my childhood
Finally someone who gives Joe respect instead of writing him off because you played cvs2 and decided this is the furthest you will try to understand the character (glaring at you rooflemonger…glaring right at you.)
Honestly having that game in the past made me want to you know look into his character more
The quality of your videos always has me forgetting that you don't even have 3k subs yet. Feels like you should at least have a couple million. Not that numbers should really mean anything. I don't think I've seen a video I haven't liked yet and the videos don't feel nearly as long as they are. I mean, I do like 40+ minute videos, but they feel like they go by in 15 minutes.
Thank you very much man! Doing my best out here and knowing that you enjoy them is good enough for me
Do you think they will put Axel hawk, Hwa Jai, Franco Bash, B. Jenet, Laurence B., Tung Fu Rue, Bob Wilson, Duck King, Raiden/Big Bear, Cheng, and Wolfgang Krauser in the new game Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves next year?
Hey, love your content dude. You deserve a lot more subscribers for the quality of your work. There's not many people that want to discuss the characters and story elements in 90s SNK games, but I'm a gigantic autist and I love that shit. Keep doin' what you do.
Word up man, it's such a niche interest but I love the way SNK used to cater to 90s western sensibilities with character design and story. I feel like that kind of thing has been lost in this day and age but I will always love the vibe these games have. Glad you enjoy the videos!
You think so? i think KOF is the fighting game series that i see get the most talk when it comes to lore
From one Autistic to another, I Welcome you.
27:52 idk if Ash Crimson really fits that archetype he's more of a sassy, piece-of-shit Chaotic Neutral character then just your usual SNK edgelord
You're definitely right, I just ran out of characters and put the closest thing I could think of lol
@@JohnSexDD I feel like Nameless would have been the better pick imo
@@LowkeyJouta Nameless isn't really edgy despite his appearance, he's pretty calm actually.
I can relate your hatred on Xiangfei.
i`m a big fan of raiden :) i really hope is back for garou 2 . also let hope rick strowd is back , vanesa is only a souless skin
Putting the Jin twins above Gato was definitely a thing that you did. Also, what you said about Geese commanding more respect than Bison makes no sense at all. Nice to hear someone talk about Fatal Fury though.
Twins possessed by their ancestors clear edgelord of the week #13, sorry.
@@JohnSexDD Stubby legged sorcerers with Vegeta hair and a bowl cut vs a pretty decent depiction of Chinese martial arts? To each his own, I suppose.
I agreed with most of your placement and reasonings! GG
I agree with most of this, except Andy. Despite how cool his story is, he is still so forgettable lol.
Your wrong; Li Xiangfei is goated!
Also, no way that’s Kim’s wife when Jae’s victory; I swore that was his girlfriend too. She looks younger than her other background cameos!
Mai at 17 lol. She is funny with how no matter how often she chases Andy, she is not getting him lol.
Not a dead franchise anymore 😏
Idc about your opinion Vice is the best
im 3 minutes in, poor xiangfei got outranked by tsugumi sendo and fucking MICHEAL MAX
edit: alright ill let it slide for ranking bob so high up
After hearing Tsugumi's theme I honestly regret putting her higher than Xiangfei. At least Xiangfei has a catchy theme. Tsugumi's is just fucking noise.
White should've been a recurring Samurai Shodown boss as the only fighter who is from the future.
3:40 L O L
28:18 I mean you say this but K’ won 11. And kyo won 13/14. And ash is still relevant in 15. I say Kof really understands how to pass the torch unlike sf and tekken which hey scared when a new guy holds it and forces it back into the first guys hand. They keep them relevant but don’t force them to be the absolute focus anymore. They still contribute but don’t invalidate the new guy. It’s a nice balance.
The thing is K' and Kyo are beloved and even Ash has some fans. I don't even think Shun Ei will be retroactively liked, certainly not enough for SNK to let him win another tourney. Unless the next KOF protagonist is a complete dumpster fire character.
Touji looks like a background character
I guess other characters do too good thing SNK is great at doing background characters for stages
Best 42 minutes of my week!
first
anyways, cool video concept!
Finally someone (god) notices the gay on Laurence Blood.
In my opinion b jenet is mid similar reasoning for why you hate li xiangfei we got her over rock Howard for no reason
Andy DESERVES to be ignored!!! Can't believe that Alfred ranked soooo low
Krauser is the first boss that ever made me scared lol
Andy has some of the best looking moves ever in a fighting game. It's too bad he looks so boring and most just think he's really boring. He needs somebody to teach him how to dress.
Great video sad to see Hon fu and freeman so low but still good
Oh yeah, Touji
Hey, Mr. Sex, could you do a ranking of Art of Fighting characters too? That would be interesting.
I might do that, at the very least a top 10 at some point.
I'm happy that you didn't rank Mai as high as other simps.
My favorite is Billy Kane
Franco Bash has a joke ending in one of the games. After winning and heading home to hang out with his son, it is revealed that Franco is actually a small guy in a muscle suit.
Edit: it's Real Bout Fatal Fury 2
8:31 it was Saiki that stole it.
That pun about Alfred really had you going and Bonne Jenet is too low
you think you’ll do one for all the art of fighting characters next?
ehhh...probably not, I might throw together a top 10 or 5 for the second channel. As much as I love AOF, it's a lot more esoteric than Fatal Fury which already has a tonne of niche characters
Nice
pretty mai
If we're counting Alice(which I'm not really against), we'll have to count Yuri and King(yes, they're mainly from Art Of Fighting, but timeline wise, they're Fatal Fury characters)lol
O
3:56 love the shirt
Yeah Terry bogard so cool
My favorites are Andy, Mai, Yamazaki, Mary and Geese, to me, Fatal Fury and KOF are The Best fighting franchises of SNK, sometimes FF is Even better, I don't know why SNK don't Made another FF Game until now
This is great research👏👍
Blue Mary is definitely the superior SNK girl over Mai IMO
Facts
I have a hard time taking this list seriously the first few minutes but can I know why Vega's considered a loser for you?
his entire personality is being obsessed with how beautiful he is 👎
@@JohnSexDD i guess that makes sense, have you seen the video who dat? vega though?
@@ADepressedWooper Nope, is there more to him than just the beauty thing? cool if so
@@JohnSexDD unfortunately no, as far as i know from the video is that his adoptive dad was ugly and he hated him so he killed him, which is why he is obsessed with beauty, and he finds cammy and chun li so beautiful he doesn't want to kill them.
there was a time in SFIV where capcom wanted to explore more on vega by giving him a plot where he wants to continue being, unfortunately again, beautiful by stopping the process of aging instead of being another one of bisons henchmen.
i see your reason as to why you consider vega a character with a terrible personality
know what game would be pretty epic? A prequel to the Art Of Fighting games, with VERY young Geese as the protagonist.
Someone please tell me cheng zhin Zhang is based on Sammo hung and Axel hawk is based on George foreman
