All of Sakura's supers get a +1 from me just due to the voice acting. I always loved the contrast she had in this game of the typical cutesy anime schoolgirl voice most of the time, that suddenly turns into this badass screaming warrior voice when she's going all out.

@nemo pouncey I’m sorry bruh but tbh 2D or hand drawn Fighting game looks so much better look at how in darkstalkers after u take a hit the whole animation spins around or how Morgan’s eyes just popped out or how Hugo’s animations are godlike. 3D is all stiff and dry. Basic. Bland. It’s boring yeah it looks good once it’s polished but sf4, sf5, Kof14, Kof15, None of those will ever look better than alpha 2 alpha 3 3rd strike, Darkstalkers jojos etc… the only good 3D games that looks nice are mk11, And number one is obviously guilty gear(Fighterz is runner up)

@@sirebellum0 It's my favorite ender for a match because of the slowdown that happens. I'm pretty sure this game is the reason she was put into Samurai Shodown 2019 as DLC since it was said they were adding a 'fan favorite character from Last Blade"..and I thought about how many fighting game fans actually know of Last Blade, and I realized it was likely Hibiki due to her being the only Last Blade character in a major fighting game that many people have played. Kaede was in Neo-Geo Battle Coliseum..but that game didn't have anywhere NEAR the appeal that this game did and still does for fighting game fans. So more people knew about her than Kaede, thus making her a 'fan favorite'.

@AT Productions because their not from the same game If the sprites are just ripped out then of course they won't fit but again you have to think that these are two different games by two different teams and two different company's one of those companies have a bigger budget for animation so its natural for these look sorta outta place but the game its self looks great nonetheless

I've got a small complaint about these recent rate the super vids, wouldn't mention it except it's been persistent.

SNK super moves are way more creative than CAPCOM super moves .

[@slthjawa5062gggghhjjjjjkkkk]

Usually. Because capcom recycles animations almost as much as mortal kombat. But when capcom puts in actual effort, they usually make something dope. In sf alpha 3 you had to land ryu's shin shoryuken perfectly in order to get max damage and see the a slightly different animation for the move, where ryu throws another strike before he does the uppercut motion while facing the screen. If you didn't land the move from the right distance, it looked kind of corny, which makes sense, if you don't land the move perfectly, ryu doesn't do it right.

[@LovisTLotus]

No need to be creative when your supers are super sick despite being basic, and have good impact lol

[@jaderabbit898]

Unfortunately for me, CvS2's main problem of the SNK side is that just how gutted and lacking impacts their moves are. Prime example of this is Geese's ending for Deadly Rave and Kyo's entire 98 moveset along with the Mushiki super.

The thing about the the Capcom snk vs series is that they came about when they wanted to show a “mature/clean” style in their franchise. It’s evident in their soundtrack choice too.

[@fd3spark677]

There’s no easy way that you could’ve done it, but I think some of the level 3s are undercut because you’re not finishing an opponent with them and getting the big flash the game gives you for winning with a super. Having said that, still love these vids! Thanks, Max!

[@Bangcat]

@@Ramsey276one It's been good to see that in recent years, people realize just what they were really missing out with, with some SNK games. Interested in what can come forth, but not sure if I'm going to be able to play them as effectively now after what feels like nerve damage. Some docs think these neck injections will help, first of three starts next week. Here's to hoping, which in it's self is dangerous. But yeah, it's been something. SNK use to get talked a bunch of trash on, some still try. but there's been quite some late nights and some fun seeing some stories unfold. I feel SNK was some of the first to really slap the idea away that stories dont matter in a fighting game. When done decent, especially when a universe can spin up together, it's a heck of a thing. Especially with the way it all comes together when you look back over it now. Capcom tries now, but Street Fighter never quite did it as well. Would love to see a new Rival Schools though. That's a fighter they did that looks like it could make story matter. SFV story was just kinda nonsense. Would like to see DarkStalkers get some good treatment too. But I could be talking all the more of the many IP's I'd like to see back.

So the 3rd variation of the Hibiki super sets them up for a juggle, and in the event that you're in a groove (S or N grooves) where you can follow up a level 3 with a level 1 you can combo it into her dash slash super for a *really* flashy finish.

[@isaiahhellems7901]

I know this is old as hell but just going to say for people who look at this video now The SNK sort of rush super that Ryo, Yuri, King, and Kim do actually predates what ultra combos would sort of be in killer instinct. Art of fighting the game that Ryo is from actually predates killer instinct by a lot and is one of the first fighting games to have super moves ever and that Rush move where it did a bunch of hits ending in a big uppercut which called Ryuuko Ranbu literally meaning dragon and tiger wild dance. I know Max is only using that as a frame of reference but just technically speaking SNK did it before killer instinct or anyone else

11:38 Max, if you did the lvl 2 version of that super and ended it with flash kick, that would've been a great ender! That super looks much better when you add that.

[@humblebraggkm318]

I don’t know the name of the super, but RYOs combo super, A lot of characters on the King of Fighters roster emulated that’s super that’s why you see a lot of “Ultra combo” supers. Even Geese’s Deadly Rave, is canon that he copied that Ryos move. Yamazaki‘s super where he grabs you, has four stages to it and every stage does a different sequence of move even though the damage is similar so if you don’t press any buttons and his hand is up, you’ll see a different sequence of attacks if you tap it and his hand goes down more, you get a different sequence of attacks and it goes down to when he has both hands by his side. Every King of Fighters that Yamazaki is in, every iteration has different attacks per stage. It’s great.

[@Arcademan09]

Doesn't the super also change depending on the Groove used? I remember some specials being unavailable when that happened

[@roadhoundd.]

I think some are level 3 supers only. So they’re locked out of A groove, S groove requires full meter and being low health, and in N groove you have to activate whatever the mode is called first and then use another bar for level 3. Oddly enough, I think only C Groove allows for level 2 supers.

[@Xzeihoranth]

Bison's 'true' level 3 in this game is basically however many paint-the-fences you can do.

[@Lloydo111]

I quite disagree with max, SNK supers in this one is absolutely fantastic even more better then capcom side clearly, even overall ratings is way more for SNK "not that max takes this seriously xD" you can feel the team admiration for these characters since they won't work every day with SNK so it feels each character from SNK is done super well including their supers,i don't think there was any favoritism at all tbh! also Terry has one of his absolute best Power Geysers ever! For me, also seeing Ryo's Ryuuko Ranbu in this is just epic, man i still remember the time where two of my favs companies together in one masterpiece fighting game that still to this day have insane presentation! Like game is gorgeous! When you change the groove you change the artist "either two of the iconics artists" also seeing geese vs akuma, Terry vs Ryu, Ryo vs ken etc. Is just nuts!

Maki's running kick super is absolutely brutal if you land it mid-screen... it's hard to land it right, since it needs a 2nd input (the actual kick), but it can easily take over 1/2 an opponent's health off from mid. I remember one of my first Shin Akuma fights being won with Maki... and like, she punked him easy with 2 other characters waiting fresh in the background. Man, I love this game. I remember playing with a friend. He was using Akuma and I was rocking Ryu one time. He loved spamming fireballs and trying to get his Raging Demons every chance he could. It was almost predictable how he'd try to roll cancel it in C groove. There was one time though our other friend was watching while he tried to teleport behind me to set it up and on instinct, I just input the command for Shin Tatsumaki. Our friend's jaw hit the floor as he saw me essentially checkmate Akuma as he took the full hit of it mid-screen and KO him. Our friend was the guy who all but mastered the game. Funny Max mentions Sakura's weak-looking fireballs in the game, because Sakura is my friend's main and he makes her do work. One thing that's incredibly effective with her is that basic front-aiming Hadouken (or Hadou Spark) as we often called it. It's very short range, but it hits about 3 or so times and does a TON of guard damage. He'd often use it as a pressure tool to do guard crushes or get stuns off. I think his main team was Sakura, Yuri and Athena of all things, with Sakura being his anchor.
