KoF94 countries aren't where the characters are from, but where their stages are. And some still make a bit of sense, Andy went to Italy to train in FF2, so Terry and Joe could be pretty much visiting him when they got the invite. Athena too, she's Japanese but her master and her best friend are Chinese, so she train in China.

Mary Sue writing is what's making modern SF fans even pretend that Ryu wins, take out that Satsui no plot armor and Mr. Focused, Dedicated, and Disciplined gets washed up by his friend who actually enjoys life and doesn't make fighting his ENTIRE personality. A lot of people can learn from Ryu and Ken's relationship lol

Fatal Fury 3's character select is a reference to Fatal Fury 1's character select screen, which is similar, but only has 3 characters another one with this style is Dragon Ball Ultimate Battle 22, which takes the concept to the extreme, especially when you unlock the secret characters

In Fatal fury 3 you can also unlock the three bosses (Yamazaki and the Jin twins) and they are added to the "family picture". Well, that's in the Neogeo CD version only but can be accessed in the MVS with dipcodes. As for Fatal Fury 1, they did the same with Fatal Fury 2. Fatal Fury 3 being "cooler" than the two previous canon titles.

I actually really enjoy the way some 3D fighters (or at least ones with 3D character models) are embracing what makes them unique and utilizing their strengths in ways they couldn't with 2D sprites. I love SF6's character select for how much they're able to tell you about the character not just by how they look but how they move, how they interact with the environment around them. It just drips with a fresh kind of style, and I love it.

The red and blue actually came from boxing and adopted by modern Japanese pro wrestling, where there is a red corner and a blue corner that each fighter stands at before the match begins, hence the opposing red and blue motif used by Street Fighter and KOF select screens.

I'd say Real Bout 2: The Newcomers has the best visual presentation out of all the classic Fatal Fury games (by classic I mean that it still had the lane system). It's a shame that the game doesn't have any pre-fight interactions between characters or win quotes However; I think that City of the Wolves seems to evoke some of the visuals from games like Real Bout Special/2, not just Mark of the Wolves. I hope that means we'll see some of the pre-MotW characters like Rick Strowd and Li Xiangfei

The only bad character select screen I can think about is the one from the Atari Jaguar game, Kasumi Ninja. If remember correctly, you have to move in a first-person perspective and choose among different statues that represented the characters. The game itself was a Mortal Kombat clone, but I think the first-person thing was another attempt at copying Wolfenstein and Doom, two other popular titles from the same era

SNK biggest issue with KOF it's probably the size of the roster, if do it right you get an all time classic character select screen, but it's easier to do it wrong, since you have to group all of them in a way that looks cool while still showing their portraits.

I always wondered where the hell Ken's location was in the OG SF2... I know later on they tried to say it was meant to be Michigan...And while I can see that the world map is a bit funky with how it's drawn, it always seemed more like Canada or far north near the top of Maine... But the weather doesn't really make it seem like it's anywhere in the mid-west. i think they just picked a random point, not really knowing the layout of the us (much how almost anyone from the US wouldn't be able to accurately pick locations in Japan that actually fit the theme they were going for. ecause while I have always viewed Ken as a "coastal" guy... It was more along the lines of California or Florida, based on his vibe... Certainly not in the Great Lakes region. If anything, Guile strikes me as more of a "Middle America" dude...

What is the whole Italy thing with Andy Bogard, btw? As for MvC2, I have never liked the presentation. Some aspects of it look like a fan-made project, including the character select screen. The small, non-animated pixel art in the corner of the char select, the gradient Impact font on the combo texts, and of course the fact that the character sprites come from many different games. Even the profile picture grid on the character select screen reminds me of Mugen.

You kinda skipped over mentioning that choosing your groove in CVS2 changes the art style. WIth the CAP grooves you get the capcom style art and with SNK you get the snk artworks. It's not seperated by the company origin so you can't get a capcom and snk artwork in one groove (as far as i know)

11:05 "Art of fighters" 🤦‍♀ Kof was a crossover between Art of Fighting and Fatal Fury. Mixing both mechanics (taunts,Charging bars,Desperate moves ,Dodge/Line sway ) + guests from the same lore (LIke Final Fight shares the same lore as Street Fighter ) Samurai Showdown is not from the same lore as KOF. I'll explain later why they've put Samsho characters almost 30 years later.

@@Drzuul You really they were like like _"Oh what's our main games series ? "_Now lets put their characters but forget Samsho" KOF was a cross over , as said on the magazines and 1994 interviews. They wanted the series to have Specific hero team + guests form SNK games. It wasn't JUST because they wanted to put their man series. SNK had TONS of games , was working on serveral fighting games project at the same time. You are biased. You don't talk with the 1994 1995 perspective. Exactly like you are biased when you talk like mainly a Capcom player. Don't take it personnally , but I think it's disrespecful or at least un fait for SNK in its golden age. 😥 They were way more creative than Capcom. Who invented Back dash? Who invented Supers? Who invented Desperate move? Who invented real time facial damages? Who invented extra bars? Who invented Team Tag battle? Who invented taunts, Who invented defense mechanic and parries? Who invented alternative stages? Capcom exclusive players are all talking of these elements like it was always from Capcom games 😭 It's super unfair bro. Sorry for having been rude. But Capcom fans triggered me with all these nonsenses just before I watched your video.

I am baffled by your choice of games to focus on. Why so many snk games with such similar (and a bit dull) screens. Why not more of the Capcom marvel games? How can you just skip cvs 1 completely? The topic is unique and interesting, but I feel like there would've been so many more exciting screens you could've introduced. Especially under this title that promises wide variety.
@Drzuul

I mainly covered games I knew and played. Also kinda fumbled into the capcom and Snk split by accident and it only made sense to end it with cvs2 and mvc2 at that point. I was concerned about time as well because I genuinely didn’t think many people would be that interested which led me to cutting 3D games and anime fighters. In the next part I’ll cast a wider net.

SNK going complete opposite of Capcom (even in 1994 when capcom was still milking Street Fighter 2 ) all all what you found to say is : Ryo is representing Mexico = Lack of imagination "they just do what Capcom would do, because everybody was copying Capcom" 🤦‍♀ "People don't play Kof nowadays because they don't want to pick 3 charcaters" Ugh... Capcom exclusive players are pathetic.. Always. World warriors , globe was the norm in every martial tournament in Japan. There were tons of Pancras , K1 , Muay Taï , crossover fights way before UFC with world maps. Street Fighter 2 copied movies like Blood Sport and and all fighters coming from all over the world Stop explaining EVERYTHING from your Capcom/Street Fighter point of view. SF2 invented a lot of things , (or improved a lot of things to be more accurate ) but you're going too far..

I don’t want to be rude but you’re assuming a lot about me. If you look at my channel from the beginning I’ve been an SNK fan first and foremost. Some of the first videos on this channel are me playing kof 98 with my friend and talking about kof 14 dlc. I’ve been talking about kof 15 since launch, I have kof lore vids, always talk about kof when given the chance etc. If I was a capcom die hard I wouldn’t have dedicated a large chunk of the video to AOF and KOF? In fact I have 0 videos on my channel that talk about street fighter exclusivity like I do for KOF, Guilty Gear and Melty Blood/Type-Moon. I honestly have no idea how you came to this conclusion.
