[@cherryjubilee5201]

People who still play these old games are always godlike.

[@miquebts]

Games like sfv makes you play like re

[@helltioeverygames]

Specially because it doesn't have shitty trainning stages that let you choose,animations in the back are amazing compared to even kof xv,lack of animations because people complain about lag and all that shit,funny enough,they complain about that and they play on shitty tranning stages but the normal stages remain without love in animations.

[@jamesmata2945]

I still do but I am absolutely not close to godlike

[@vakondkiss2291]

I must be the proud exception

[@Kakeen]

I absolutely love this game, it's basically the 3S of SNK. Characters are fun (it's why i love B Jenet), mechanics are simple yet hard to master, and the presentation is amazing.

[@heidibenner1577]

I think this game is way superior to 3rd Strike as well.

[@soundsofstabbing3627]

the simplicity of the game is crazy to me, I was able to do all my character's moves without even looking at a list, just did some quarter circles and I found out how to play the game

[@nathleflutiste]

@@soundsofstabbing3627 Some character are easier than other. But basically, yeah the game is quite simple, and once you mix breaks and feints with perfect mastery of special, you can do crazy things.

[@ErinWebb]

Garou is legit super sick, I would love to see you get stronger and kick ass in this.

[@goku445]

Garou is the GOAT of fighting games!

[@anzumazaki7798]

yeah, as someone familiar to high level play of sf3 and garou, it wasnt that much different from watching a new player at sf3 playing against an experienced veteran, except all the feint cancels and meter building faster in garou, plus more defensive mechanics in garou that smug is not used to that made it look more one-sided

[@mannerrules]

I keep forgetting how amazingly FAST Kevin can build meter in Garou 😂

[@accordingtoabe2211]

roto cancels

[@pabloarammasmanian5391]

We need a Smug vs Tizoc... Garou is the 3rd Strike of SNK

[@vandagylon2885]

Yes, and no.

[@TheLucasCaputo]

Garou series were introduced when kof 99 was released

[@zengram]

But with more interesting characters

[@allieboy181]

@@TheLucasCaputoGarou is part of the fatal fury series. It’s not a separate series

[@nathleflutiste]

@TheLucasCaputo Fatal Fury original name is Garou Densetsu. "Garou" is just the original name used for the last episode of the series. I have always liked Fatal Fury way more than King of Fighter. Especially Fatal Fury 3 and Garou.

[@obitouchiha9446]

I love how smug tries new games and gets wiggy washed on each of them, it’s honestly pretty cool seeing all these different games

[@snifflesism]

Garo has always been ahead of its time.

[@carlosaugusto9821]

The whole SNK company as a fg maker was in a different level in the 90s. They made big fg innovations every year. But sadly too poor to afford new tech unlike Capcom. The cps2 system, that ran Darkstalkers and Marvel, and the cps3 system that ran SF3 and Jojo were literal game changers for Capcom.

[@snifflesism]

@@carlosaugusto9821 most definitely.

[@nathleflutiste]

@@carlosaugusto9821 Yeah, but SNK has been able to maximize the possibilities of the Neo-geo, it's sick what they created with Garou.

[@RafaelFMFerreira]

Kevin should totally be in KOF. Maybe forming a team with Hokutomaru and Hotaru. Like "tough-cop-guy taking babysitting" kinda team

[@carlosaugusto9821]

Kevin in KOF wouldn't be a bad idea, but i don't want too much of MOTW taking slots in KOF. So I don't agree with your idea of team. There's too much in KOF 15 already. If future games just rotate MOTW chars then that's fine.

[@rokva5771]

SMUG fell for the classic ruse of a God-like player naming themselves "noob" or "scrub" or "loser".

[@thepuppetmaster9284]

Smug has been Garou’d. My first Garou online match experience was also the same, although my opponents had a Japanese name. He bodied me across multiple universes with every character in the roster like holy F 😂😭. I second some comment in here who reccomend you to learn how to cancel moves / combos and just defense before challenging anyone. These bad mama jamas not gonna give any mercy because they already trained in the hyperbolic time chamber, perfecting their combo cancels and just defense to protect their turf especially from newcomers 😁

[@carlosaugusto9821]

It's a 20+ years old advanced fg and Smug is a newbie. Simple. He's going to get bodied. There are people playing it since release or the early 00s. Also there's the factor that all these old arcade games have cheesy and/or broken stuff that can be very oppressive for a newbie if the player wants to be extra brutal and bully.

[@goku445]

This game has a deep learning curve.

[@justanotherlikeyou]

Garou is such a good game. Played it on the old NeoRageX emulator back in the day and loved it so much I got it for my Dreamcast when it came out day 1.

[@RigbyIsTheMan]

As soon as I saw Kevin I knew some shenanigans were about to go down

[@hrbr_deluxe]

Definitely keep playing this game! It gets more fun the more you play :) Also would love to see you play the other Fatal Fury games. I'm a huge fan of the 2-plane and oversway systems (especially the oversway).

[@palemink]

Oh absolutely! I agree! I personally prefer RBFF2 over Garou but Garou is awesome nonetheless! Definitely up there!

[@carlosaugusto9821]

I wish to see him try Rick in RB2, and also try RB1 later just for the experience of a more unique fg style.

[@BrokeOldGamer]

0:44 that very first exchange said it ALL

[@time2sleep685]

I bet that if Smug give this game some time we might witness something really cool in the future. Anyway great showcase of Garou - this game feels as amazing as broken it is.

[@carlosaugusto9821]

He must also watch some high level matches with the chars he uses

[@nybethobdilord6912]

Don't feel bad. Same shit happened to me a couple weeks ago. Decided to hop on Garou and ran into a high level player who absolutely bodied me. Afterwards I just went to the ps5 dashboard and sat there for a couple minutes contemplating life.

[@Kain_R_Heinlein]

Do you remember the player's name? Haha

[@nybethobdilord6912]

@@Kain_R_Heinlein nah. this shit happens all the time cuz of the amount of games i play. There was this one guy who 10-0'd me in Samsho 2. shit was brutal. lol

[@scrubeks]

with smugs execution he would be great with characters that reward execution like B.Jennet, Gato or Kevin. Good to see Smug enjoy the game and hopefully keep playing to see how deep the game is and how much fun the system mechanics are.

[@chiarosuburekeni9325]

Good point. I don’t think Kushnood Butt fits Smug’s style. I know he typically picks characters that look like him in games but his moves don’t really fit Smug

[@reverendx4ever]

@@chiarosuburekeni9325 smug isn't into zoners?

[@GargantuanBreadfruit]

I think Kevin or Dong is the best fit. Rushdown and big, executionally demanding combos.

[@chrisbullock6477]

Nahhh he needs to stick with Marco and lock him down first.. Marco himself has so many moves that don't get used. Plus he's one of the hardest hitting characters.

[@goku445]

Garou is the best fighting game I ever played. I want to see more people play it.

[@alphonsotindalliii6347]

Kevin was a Monster in MOW. That grab cancel to the uppercut super was so satisfying to pull off....good ol' arcade memories

[@Tsuzukix]

"A dude named Kevin..." Just wait... That dude broken AF

[@danielwynn9736]

More Gorou please! I'm fiending 👁👅👁

[@TonyLvsUp]

I’d love to see you play more of this. Keep at it, learn all the mechanics and start wiggity washing people with the greatest of ease.

[@CaptainBackpak]

And that, ladies and gents, is why Kevin is the best character in Garou.

[@mikedisher30]

I think it would be awesome, I think the Dr will get good really quick

[@mc_zittrer8793]

The road to 150K is approaching fast, with the Greatest of Ease!

[@SiouxTube]

I'm always down to watch you play and learn a new fighting game. The many of us who aren't good enough or can't even play fighting games live through talented players like yourself vicariously. The last time I even saw this game was when the Super Best Friends group played it years ago in a video and I was always curious about it. Of course the only people still playin it are animals but, I'm down to see you learn to tame these beasts.

[@jaykelley103]

The NPCs basically

[@NimbleFinguz]

Marco has some pretty cool charge moves I didn't see him use, really fun game

[@chasepalumbo2929]

Snk has one of the most godlike backlog of games, and they’re all pretty damn complex so u know the players are monsters. You should play more, you’ll be competing in no time I’m sure. And the stages are fucking amazing. Good video more pls

[@timothywasham5229]

Those realization shots, have me dying 😂🤣

[@jclinton4473]

yo i remeber this game being in the arcade back when i was young in my home country barbados . yo..... marco japaneese name is Khushnood Butt. he has a special thats like the raging demon. i remember saving up 5 dollars in quarters to play this game. Smug you just made my eyes water reminiscing my guy much love and big respects.

[@Kain_R_Heinlein]

he does not have a special like the raging demon lol, the one closest to it is freeman with his counter super where the screen turns black and he starts slashing you everywhere. The reason for the name change was because they based it off an MMA fighting with a similar name. So just like Street Fighter changed the shadowloo trio's names cause of M. Bison imitating Mike Tyson.

[@jclinton4473]

@@Kain_R_Heinlein also did i say anything thing about his name change other than his Japanese name was kushnood butt... my guy you need to chill with the trying to act smart when i already know why his name was changed. please save it for someone else. also the move i said was like the raging demon i only said its like the raging demon because its multiple hit strong combo that ne can do . if you played the game you know the one im talking about where he puts both his hands to his sides and rushes you with kicks punches and you end it why the dp move. good gosh you acting like you cant make comparisons to games but i guess thats how you live your life. keep living it that way

[@ginsoxx92]

​@@jclinton4473 You say chill, then you proceed to write a comment with the double of words. But yeah Marco hidden, doesn't work neither resembles a raging demon

[@carlosaugusto9821]

As always a good mindset for handling a new fg, even when you lose that way. Please keep going the fightcade journey in this game and many others.

[@Skorbutt]

Garou is awesome, so happy you're giving it a go ! Kevin is OP there isn't much you can do against him. You should play Gato, I think you'd like him !

[@jmcrofts]

Bro this game is HARD I could never do any of the sick stuff

[@rudeboymugen26]

Hit the LAB SMUG!!

[@TheNinjasDen]

Smug... YOU NEED to embrace SNK. THE most skill thirsty franchise of FGs. You'd love stuff like GAROU and KOF.

🇧🇷🇺🇸 Smug is a Showman!

[@JWolfen_TMD]

Kevin Rian the Garou equivalent to 3rd strike Chun, bruh I was waiting for this 😂

So glad you are playing this

[@Swampy77]

More of this please ❤️ Love snk

[@DonBozzi]

Oh welcome and see ya on FC2 ✌🏿

[@InitialDL84]

Love that you're playing this my dude, Garou is the truth. One of my favorite fighters from SNK. I feel like Kevin would fit more your style of play tbh, command grab city

[@ShaneDouglas713]

Smug: "This dude is godlike?" 🤨 2:00 *YES* That guy must've chose to name himself "Scrub" to lure people in false sense of security...

[@stevem9635]

Kevin is top tier in this game.

[@ginsoxx92]

Not only top tier, he's the best character in the game

[@phantomspaceman]

This is like walking into a CvS2 tourney without knowing what a roll cancel is: Murder.

[@MaximumCarter]

GAROU yesssssssssssssmug! Edit: I can't wait to hear more about Garou 2! Edit 2: I'm a Terry Bogard fan-boy lol

[@nemoisnobody]

Yes! One of my all time favorites! You said you like Kim, right? This game has two! Jae Hoon plays similar to the one you're used to, but I think you'll like Dong Hwan. He's got a really useful overhead super. Level one version is as good as it needs to be!

[@mostverticalproductions4808]

Smug needs to play Real Bout 2, cause it's got Rick. He'd gel with him with the greatest of ease.

[@tpatt513]

First off, his momma named him Khushnood Butt, he's Khushnood Butt. Secondly, you're exactly right. This was SNK's version of Third Strike. I only played it a few times myself but it is definitely fun. Characters: Kim sons are in this one. Try them both.

[@myegg777]

Be back stronger!!! Rise Smug!!!!

[@blackmanta2527]

Smug should play a game called Martial Masters

[@darkayn7924]

Love to see Smug play these classics! Keep it up man

[@abdielver69]

Yo Smug those guys just didn't wiggitywash you they did the goddamn laundry!!!!😮

[@seang1373]

It was at 8:40 you can see the last moments beginning. When Freeman got the P and was on the defensive it was over. That Freeman move can only be done when someone attacks with a normal attack to in order for it to work. It's wild.

[@jusdave2008]

Well the way Rog players hold down 3punch or 3kicks is similar to Marco charge move which is the only reason I think he is an OK char cause that fully charged is very good. But you would probably like Kevin more as you saw he got some crazy tech like Dudley dipping fireballs

[@pranavchaugule1448]

Did anyone NOTICED - the background LED light glows only when he talks on mike .. woaaa! 👁️👄👁️

[@melvinshine9841]

That first guy didn't surprise me that much because I already knew Kevin is dumb, but the Freeman going off is a shock since I think he's supposed to be the worst character in the game. Though unless I'm mistaken, nobody is truly bad in Garou.

[@goku445]

Honestly it doesn't matter which character they choose when you're a newbie at the game. Even if you're great at fighting games, you have to learn how to play Garou.

[@Kain_R_Heinlein]

Freeman is basically the worst yeah but the game is balanced tbh.

[@carlosaugusto9821]

The worst maybe, but not truly bad

[@dannynhl9441]

Still got a copy of this and the only game I own for the NEO GEO AES. Paid 400 dollars for it in late 2000's. Worth it

[@Hmty2383]

I'd love to see you playing more Garou, for sure. Perhaps Kevin or Gato are characters you could really benefit from, as they require high execution skills to play at high level, and they benefit greatly from it

[@clsto7022]

1:40, the crazy thing is, if he JDs both hits of the flying kicks, he could've done even more damage from a grounded combo

[@mechanicat1934]

a high level player playin' my boy freeman? Time to steal shit. Oh, just gotta be able to parry everything. Got it.

[@Kain_R_Heinlein]

yeah unfortunately as the weakest character in the game you're gonna have to rely on fundamentals and guard cancel and feint cancel a lot too haha... learning to be patient also

[@quasarx78]

No doubt Smug is the best streamer! This man is incredibly funny! I laughed a lot when He lost the first round against Kevin Ryan! His funny faces are the best!

[@evil5150]

Yes please. Play more MotW. Terry is dope. Rock is dope. Gato is super fun. Garou reminds me of Soul Calibur 2. There are so many viable characters, I found I could make almost any one work.

[@nathleflutiste]

But Dong Hwan is the best. No question asked.

[@afterbitenero3408]

When I saw Kevin I was like "yeah smugs getting washed"

[@StarboyZaku]

It's funny that this popped up in my algorithm after Kevin got announced 😂😂

[@ilikeyoraincoatbihsdv7186]

Funny watching him fight against a top tier and a bottom tier in this vid. Hope he keeps it up this game is fun.

[@Kain_R_Heinlein]

yup, it was pretty humorous losing to both the strongest and weakest character in the roster lol

[@sonimatic]

Definitely play more Garou. I'd love to see you try Terry, even if just in arcade mode. There are so many cool characters in Garou. I think you'd FW Gato too.

Have you seen your Marco on mugen?,they did an amazing job transforming into a KOF XI character,it's awesome.

[@nathaniel2794]

Yo smug, I wanna see you climb the ranks with Marco in Garou.

[@blvk3]

garou is actually somewhat broken when you understand what moves can be cancelled WITH NO COST and spam the heck of them. I would stay away from this turf if i were you until you know how this game's footsie work, or you will just get bodied and learn nothing

[@jclinton4473]

i second what was said here. the kims in this game if you time their cancels are scary as hell . you press a button can lead to half health especially against fire foot .

[@elshaddollworld3941]

he also could like not fight A rankers off the bat lol just play d and c rankers while learning

[@Kain_R_Heinlein]

the cost is having good execution buddy. You can't just unsafely break and do feint cancels and expect not to be punished

[@Comeonemane1]

very good. big brains

[@LordRaptor]

Man this game has so many sick characters, Freeman and Rodriguez are awesome.

[@nashhenry9314]

That pressure lmao 3:35

[@barbz8122]

Hell yes!! Try Hokotomaru & b. Janet & gato Top tiers... oh & Kim kapwhan's 2 sons... Kim dong hwan & Kim jae hoon

[@GhibliNova]

Hold Strong Punch/Kick. After like 20 seconds you charge up a hidden move to level 3 and then when you let go of Punch or kick you will get a pretty sweet attack and the kick verson combos into the punch version

[@floriansolatges9624]

I've been playing this game daily for two months, and the learning curve is very rewarding. I like Terry as he is very offensive. It was nice seeing a Freeman player, he is not that often played but I like his style ;)

[@kingsman5121]

Motw is a fascinating game both from a visual and gameplay standpoint

[@ChannelForbus]

Freeman's Raging demon is a counter... all you have to do is DONT attack lol

[@datboiisforreal]

Thank you smug for another fun video!

[@MG_Gambino]

I don't comment much, if at all. Definitely would like to see more of this game. In terms of characters, probably kim, but other than him, just enjoy my guy. In the future, for combos, you might want to try out blazblue central fiction or guilty gear plus r
