[@ShaneDouglas713]

In a nutshell

[@Dentei3]

I love how Justin is playing old school kof games story modes and still has this much fun.

[@OrochiPops]

I always enjoyed KOF arcade runs more than most fighters. It's the characters for me. They have much more personality than other characters in fighting games IMO.

His AI has a huge exploit. Igniz always does DP on wakeup if you're jumping at him. So you knock him down then jump over him and his dp will miss. Punish him with a combo that knocks down near you or simply sweep if you don't have one. Rinse and repeat.

[@darththew]

this is it.

[@nemesis3587]

Yes, my favoorite exploit. It just makes him easiest SNK boss. I think they tried to make him more broken but resulted huge exploit.

[@gwinbeer]

See SNK BOSS syndrome part 3 (KZbin video). It was so funny

[@aislanarislou]

The most cool boss but the easiest one!!!

[@Raytheman581]

He also can't block low so you can keep tripping him just like goodman from neogeo battle collisuem. The guy from XI is harder than igniz for this alone.

[@meganinten0078]

Fun facts about Igniz. He is 56 years old and was voiced by Norio Wakamoto KOF 2001 is broken but fun In this game, the most OP characters (without infinites) are May Lee, Foxy and Heidern.

[@pokemaniacmasterx3132]

Foxy best waifu.

[@MrDraquo]

I used to love repeatedly juggling people with Heidern😁

[@SoulSociety404]

Idk about fun, it’s one of the least fun KOF games tbh and the lifebars & gameplay being busted make it average compared to many others in the series but it’s not terrible I guess.

[@poison6084]

The most broken characters in 2001 are Kula , K9999 , Foxy , Angel and May Lee Heidern is pretty good too but I wouldn't consider him broken

[@poison6084]

By this point, half the teams accept invitations explicitly to investigate what's going on behind the scenes, to stop what's going on, or to further what's going on. The other half need money, are seemingly oblivious to danger/schemes, or both.

[@BainesMkII]

@@AverageShotoMain01 I sometimes suspect Andy isn't the brightest bulb. Though to be fair, characters not involved in the main story have a high chance of being treated as comic relief. For KOF XIV, I'd say 9 of the 16 teams were investigating what was going on behind the tournament, trying to stop something (whether it be Verse or just another team), progressing their own story through the tournament, or were outright hired to attend. Two more had prologues that were too vague to decide (Geese, Xanadu). The final five were in it for the prize money or to prove themselves.

[@suiken3149]

Only those who made it in the finals know how shady these KOF tournaments are. In Terry's case, he's aware but love the thrill of fighting so it didn't matter to him.

I'm digging the SNK content that you've been uploading recently. Especially dig anything KOF related

[@OROCHITHEO]

When you play against bosses on KOF2001, choose only one or two characters for team. The proportional damage against bosses fits better.

[@Kain_R_Heinlein]

Basically like the ratio system in cvs 2

[@lucasmonteiro600]

Harder. Igniz was op , but his A. I was expoitable. Magaki is absurd.

To answer your question (5:24). Everyone of them, with the exceptions of a few, have Reason(s) to come back.. over and over again. Whether they be, Obligation (Kyo), Personal Beefs (Kyo > Iori), Investigations (Ikari Team), etc. The Only person that keeps coming back BECAUSE of The "Money" (Being Contracted).. is Yamazaki. Which is a shame cause he is one of my Personal favourites. The Exceptions to the rule (that can come to mind, personally) is Athena's Team. Every ending I've seen of them seems like - they're just - there. Like they were duped somehow. 🤷‍♂️😅 Every time. Great run btw. ✌😊

[@Dinowrestler]

I remember playing this, brutal hard. Also a person playing the character, you get wiped once you never hit the ground.

[@PikangsFutaba]

Rare time for a SNK boss (aside of SVC Chaos Red Arremer (AKA as Firebrand)) to end up with a KO (I'm pretty used to see time overs to be honest), if you do 2002 UM you better get ready for potential failed runs against Rugal (fail to beat him = instant Game Over), plus, you need to complete some few conditions like not losing more than 3 rounds and if you lose a round against any of the other 4 bosses (Krizalid, Clone Zero, Zero or Igniz... as long as you don't lose more than 3 rounds) defeat said boss with a DM with your 2nd or 3rd character (or in single play mode in your match point, if the 1st round in team play or match point in single play as long as you have not lost a round against the boss ends up with Draw by double KO or time over, the game still count it as a no round lose for the no round lost condition vs the boss... but it WILL count the round as lost for the 3 rounds limit).
