Huge respect to Arslan Ash for taking the W home in tekken and making it to finals in Kof Mans really came out of nowhere and became a Legend

[@sma1015]

He sure has...

[@DavidOsornoL]

Growing up in Mexico it was always clear to me that KOF was a game rooted in our hearts. Its awesome to see a mexican vs mexican grand finals. Felicidades a Pako por llegar a la final en winners y a Tamago por llevarse el primer lugar!

[@mjul7003]

I never knew KOF was an important game in Mexico. Where I live, there isn't too much of a KOF scene, everybody mostly plays Smash and Mortal Kombat. But there are lots of amazing Smash players from Mexico, too. Maybe Mexicans are just amazing at videogames. And congratulations to all the amazing players made it to top 8 in this tournament!

From March to June, all the Japanese & Korea champions including ET, M' ZJZ, unite together to challenge Xiao hai, they lost Everytime, all together about 12 times! Then the platform and supporter applied limitations rules on Xiaohai, for example, he must choose female characters, or one of the characters must be a question mark, he still won every time.. A single player beat the army of them.

The habit of Arslan's back dashing(from tekken) in kof costs him a lot of hits. He needs to work on changing that habit in kof.

I never complains about how arshlan play kof, but the technical strategy doesnt work with the agressive plays against mexican players xD

[@tryingtochangemyways5074]

Arslans started with kof which is why he has good execution..Problem wasn't backdashing..It was him not knowing the matchups. Which is why he was backdashing much

But you no I have not seen a game system worthy of getting 2009 to 2022 for one the style is all fuck up in them the only really one I would take a look at is dargon ball fighter z tekken7 and may be kof 15 but not really and even those r not really special 🙄🙄🙄🙄😒😒😒🤔🤔🤔😓😓😓?????!!!!!

​@@Zerog65 I think SNK are just afraid to have Angel like 2002 vanilla again, but they already got rid of her infinites and plus on block full screen super, I don't see the problem buffing her a bit more. I feel like every season, all the underperforming characters (except Ramon probably) are gonna get small buffs at a time to multiple moves to not suddenly get someone overpowered by accident. There's so much character variety in this Combo Breaker Top 8. I have confidence that SNK knows what they're doing and we'll see Angel again soon. (RIP Kukri though.)

I'm new to KOF but is there a specific reason why Mexicans choose this Fighting game? I see them always in the top for KOF

[@malcovich_games]

Some random cafe or corner store in their areas will have a classic KOF unit because Neo-Geo cabs were pretty inexpensive (and sometimes, bootlegged for even cheaper). Usually 2002. So a lot of people grew up being KOF fans.

The old neogeo cabinets were very cheap and you used to be able to play all the games from SNK with just one Neo Geo and it was also very easy to Pirate so they just started popping up all over Central America

[@LoaRicardo]

In latam the Neo Geo cabinets were very popular. Not only cheaper, they also had the possibility to choose the language, so people could understand the story of the game. Here in Brazil everybody knew the tragic story of Orochi Iori in the late 90's, early 2000
