Plz pin this.

[@duckieboi]

a guide for older kof in this day and age? Yes pls. These shortcuts will help me alot

[@mokaddas97]

people still play these old games in fightcade. And it has a very active playerbase.

[@bassram3337]

​@@mokaddas97 pro players play old genuine arcade KoFs. casual players play casual console KoFs

[@mokaddas97]

@@bassram3337 Yep. So it seems i am a pro player😮

[@greensun1334]

Indeed, fractions of seconds play a big role in imput heavy games like KOF, and without shortcuts it's almost impossible to time and connect certain combos. You have to be incredible fast and precise to master these games, and some shortcuts make it definitely a little easier to find out the right timing.

[@hermontarmand2404]

​@@bassram3337A lot of so called veteran KoF players refused to play newer KoF and keep playing old KoF. They don't buy new KoF. They don't want new things because they're too comfortable in the old ones. That's why KoF XV is dying because of low player base (beside of course the online problem). It's hard for newcomer to get into the series. And when they try older KoF they get destroyed.

[@faikhozen5963]

they never teach you this stuff tech documentation for older games is always appreciated

[@SomeWey]

A (good) KOF 98 guide in 2024, great stuff.

[@DarthMortus]

i've been playin KoF for almost 15 years now and some of these shortcuts are new to me, great video man! keep the good work!

[@OrochiPops]

Shared this far and wide with all the new KOF players I know. Awesome guide!

[@8SinAm]

Thank you!

[@sorrydudebros]

Huh. I always wondered how people did insane looking confirms like this, now I know

[@greensun1334]

I love the series. Old school fighting games (16bit aera) are the best with many unique ideas and mechanics, unlike many younger titles, where old content got reused. KoF'98 is my 2nd favourite KOF game, after the great KOF'95. KOF'97 and '02 are 3rd place.

@hermontarmand2404 I'm one of them. I'm into 2D sprite based fighting games only, I'm not interested in the new titles at all. I got stuck in the arcade- and 16bit aera 😅

[@kurufuioriNOSB]

6:47 nice trick, i learn this 1 year ago but i play this game when it come out in 98,i never heard about that

[@Playthru7687]

There's a sophistication to it that led to it taking over the arcades back in 1998.

[@danielribeiro3252]

Great video! Whip's Boomerang Shot into Sonic Slaughter in 2002 is still something impossible to me.

Great video, really helpful, your AMAZING

[@dhalsimindia]

Great it's very helpful for beginners

[@danchavyn]

This is one of the reasons why I prefer KOF to SF. Capcom should have copied these kinds of tricks for SF.

[@Mariemakesnosense]

Thank You Soooo Much ! It really helps alot make more guide on kof series please i really wanna learn the game❤❤

[@drago__]

abaixado fazer um soquinho ou chutinho dar quarto de lua dar baixo e com outro golpe e mais um quarto de lua sempre fiz, porem o bom é praticar o jeito certo, pq as vezes vc só tem tempo de dar um soquinho dependendo da gamplay aí não tem como usar essa manha (buffer)

[@Raulolengo]

very nice guide

[@MSs_.]

a button buffer video would be possible. Buffer by holding buttons and plink in kof 98 or 2002 (just choose some kof and teach how to do these buffer and plink)

[@8SinAm]

What is the meaning of button buffer?

[@MSs_.]

@8SinAm Holding a button for a qcf or a qcb to not be performed and then releasing that button and performing the complete combo

[@SiniBANG]

It has similar principles with buffer Supers in SF games.

[@やしろ-k8v]

2:51 There is also a way like this ↓\→ - ↑+D - ↓/←C

[@deyvisoonjean10]

Dude, just dude !!! ❤❤❤

[@kaceejones2282]

Still trying to piece together these inputs like shoot its tough as nails rn Im trying to get K's cr.B×2~3 or (cl.C(2), f+A), qcf+A > f+D, qcf+A > f+B, qcf hcb+P mainly the crouch part.

[@bequertennison6154]

Gracias z lo necesitaba

[@jupiterapollo4985]

Thanks for the video freind. Question: is this the shortcuts that all high level players use? Also what about Orochi Chris forward+A, qcb-hcf+A?

[@8SinAm]

Most players will use input shortcuts. And Orochi Chris has no effective input shortcut :(

[@jupiterapollo4985]

@@8SinAm Thanks for the info. And that Orochi Chris input is hard AF to pull of 😭

Maybe I'll play better now! Great vid!

[@freshboy3968]

It's probably almost the same

[@edoardolunghi3385]

100% work in kof 98 Um!!

[@systemofadown1986]

0:13 In this case, I use the tradicional input because you can confim it. With the input shortcut, If the openent blocked you'll get exposed.

Anything for 02/02um? Some of the characters have moves in that game that have some overlaps with some of these shortcuts.

[@8SinAm]

The same thing is possible in KOF 2002 and 2002 UM

[@waleedahmad1906]

Please make video on kof 13 Ex Iori input shortcuts and rekka cancel guide. I really recommanded

[@dhalsimindia]

Kof 2001 rika infinite search on yt

[@8SinAm]

There is no way to shortcut rekka cancel :(

[@chefvideogame]

2:33 How does this work if Yuri has the Ko-Ouken, which uses the input needed for the shortcut?

[@LynxWinters]

her cr.B doesn't cancel into special moves, so cr.B qcf+A gives standing A instead of fireball

[@riskbreaker7302]

Vi este video y me di cuenta que estuve jugando todo este tiempo como un idiota jajajaja

[@Blessranger]

Is there going to be a chance of ⬇️↘️➡️↘️⬅️ shortcut for Mature’s Ebony Tears in lieu of its original ⬇️↘️➡️↘️⬇️↙️⬅️ input?

[@8SinAm]

You can use it like this ↓↘→↓↘→←

[@nurannahadiislam7940]

When playing this games combos are least of my worries tbh. I don't even know how to play neutral in kof.

y chris

Chris is It's theoretically possible, but strangely, it's a case where the input doesn't work well. Try 2B(Hold) - 2A - 236(A) - (Release) B - 236 A.

I have learned all about fighting games by myself ! Keyboard is way easier than dpad ! And don't tell me when you play on keyboard you don't use arrows for movements unless you are left handed !

[@Notslimy]

i really despise KOF gameplay, all that jumps bs, and the long cuts, i wonder why snk put so much effort in this saga meanwhile games like realbout 2, garou even the last blade, were a second choice, i mean, play the game vs the cpu is ok, but play against humans is a nightmare while in other games is the opposite.

[@CamSink]

Short hop spam also happens in Smash and nobody really complains there, why would it suddenly be an issue here, this series originated that idea anyways. As for the long cuts, the games would actually be so much worse to play without them it helps so much with avoiding misinputs, and its honestly something I wish other fighting games adopted.

[@Notslimy]

@CamSink i don't play smash so i don't know, what is more simple than 2x qcf?, And kof have lots of 'em, but you can't perform them, makes no sense to me, i still playin' tho, maybe i love it in the future.

[@CamSink]

@@Notslimy That's cause in KOF you're supposed to combine the inputs of the qcfs with the second qcf. You can also do this in Street Fighter but in KOF it's more important because there are quite a bit overlapping inputs, and the cancel windows are small. If you could easily perform the 2x qcf and have a generous cancel window you end up like SF6 where cancel windows are too fucking big and its super easy to misinput shit.

[@manafbenayache1880]

0:38 do you call that a shortcut ? What about D down forwardx2 + A ? ! Easy isn't it ! And what s with the back forward ate you trying to perform a Samurai Showdown 2 super ? Charlotte for ex ? Your video is useless specially to me ! Nothing personal but your video is not like what you say in the title kid ! Sorry

[@MSs_.]

The input is easy and you apparently have no simple motor skills. Do you want to input with just one button? There is no simpler buffer than this. And literally a qcf.b qcf and button
