The Beginner's Incomplete Guide to KOF (2021 edit)

[@SlumpDrunko]

“The upcoming release of KOF XII”

[@spade4acer]

it legit pains me to read that knowing now that kof xii is considered the worst kof by a decent margin

[@fortidogi8620]

'i reccomend street fighter 4! its a great game, MANY PEOPLE ARE PLAYING IT, and itll help you learn a lot!'

[@borschtjustice3844]

KoF XII jokes aside, this video was life changing for me. It helped me finally understand how to play KoF properly and start playing it beyond casual level. Thank you Dandy J!

[@USALeonHeart]

It got me to try KoF which was life changing in itself

[@BrothaKyo]

>XII Good lord, I forgot that's how old this video was.

[@waterdog737]

ancient

[@JustPlainLuckyTV]

holy shit. thanks for updating the vid. this was literally one of the very first videos I saw on youtube when the platform launched.

[@brightnoa21]

Ah man, it's crazy coming back to this video like almost 10 years later. It was the explanation of the different hops and the color coded visuals that did it for me.

[@BlackCeasarNC]

Just now watching this, and most of this still applies to KoF15!

[@Ali-fs7ze]

One of the finest tutorials to ever grace KZbin's servers.

[@antoniogiovanna9489]

I love this video every time someone asks me how to play I send them this

[@gfy69]

just seeing like 5 quick hops back and forth like that blows my mind already lol. Thanks for the video

[@SirLied]

This is unreal. I literally JUST watched this for the first time earlier today. My timing is just impeccable 👌

[@SpaceBoundFox]

Same lol

[@Protomango]

I've been obsessed with KOF since I started playing 4 months ago, and I learned a lot from this. Great video!

[@egrassa1480]

don't forget to watch kofxv version

[@SaikyoKoutei]

*2021 edit *XII is still the most recent game

[@nate567987]

and not out yet :)

[@TheConstantOne]

The OG video got me back into KOF back in the day, glad to see you're still here Dandy. Believe it or not, Homo Genius is what got me into the FGC way back in the day when they randomly popped up in my reccomended video. Always look forward to content from you and hope you are doing well.

[@776Mine]

the original video came out when I could barely walk and now I am indefinitely grateful for this video existing, 12 damn years down the line

[@IAMNOTRANA]

"Upcoming release of KOFXII" That hurts.

[@emjay9545]

I Gotta say, thank you for making this video. I've always liked KOF, but it's such a hard game for me to get into, I guess I couldn't get the "feel" to the game. Now I'm going to try playing 02um again and might try 98um as well, so thanks!

[@basselsabubgarcia9195]

Left a comment on the other version of this vid. Thanks for doin this re-edit. Im new to KOF and look forward to rewatching this as i learn.

[@cyrusthegreat5434]

This is the video that made me finally "Understand" kof Still works and would recommend to whoever wants to get into the series

[@metalraccoon8936]

I clicked right away when I saw this. Thank you for taking your time on making this content👌

[@THEmisguidedMONK]

Yo you made this video? Much respect I watched it 10 yrs ago when got to kof xiii and earlier when 02 and earlier when 98 was my thang I love this video so much is a good reminder after a break! You got my sub friend

[@AndrewCrimefighter]

God I hope there's an upcoming release of KOF 12. That game needs rollback

[@MrMissingnin44]

Nah it just needs to be forgotten..

[@AndrewCrimefighter]

@@MrMissingnin44 no way kof 12 rules

[@CoreConceptFGC]

KOF XII was undeniably a Beta, with the unique function of raising funds to finish KOFXIII (that should be the true KOFXII), so turn your eyes to bests KOF ever

[@AndrewCrimefighter]

@@CoreConceptFGC it's a beta for 13 that plays nothing like 13?

[@SFtheWolf]

12 lacked content but it had a lot of unique qualities people disregarded too quickly

[@yofyo]

liked and subbed this is such a powerful video

[@Nijwol707true]

KOF98UM ROLLBACK BETA LET'S GOOOO

[@cidelfus]

2021 update hype

[@KoylTrane]

return of the king

[@cyanphoenix]

9:26 What exactly did you mean by, "Honest"?

[@DarkflareEX]

In this context, it's conditioning your opponent to stay on defensive and try to block because they expect you to attack immediately rather than try to counter attack.

[@CoreConceptFGC]

This is GREAT! Btw, what are the changes? i liked the one with KOFXIII, i thought i would see my Chizuru

[@spade4acer]

Wish he had edited in KOF XV lol

[@josephshin9297]

From what I can tell, some early 2000s language was removed.

[@piratepilates]

good stuff as always dandyj my friend!!!

[@PrismAzure]

Still waiting for Golf Tips by the Champ

[@MrDannatt]

Good on Danny for making tutorials!

[@bestosensei]

great vid mate

[@lordpsi99]

Where is the 60fps video? Megaupload links in the top result video doesn't work anymore.

[@lordnegative3710]

thank you for this video it made me understand a lot of things tho my problem is there seems to be a lot of special moves which are not punishable on block (or im dumb im talking about '97) and its so hard to get pressure on knocked down opponents I always get thrown when I try meaty C or D with kyo what should I be doing instead?

[@lordpsi99]

What does the meter do and what is the difference between Advanced and Extra?? I know how to goddamn jump from playing Melee and Street Fighter 2' Hyper Fighting (also Accent Core Plus R, Skullgirls, 3rd Strike, etc). How do you get past Billy's 5m long stick??

[@LimboTheory]

I've had 5 kof 15 players beat me in ranked and send me this video. -_-

[@nate567987]

love the music from 2000

[@caienraven]

Video fantástico, me ajudou muito

[@bluemarb1e787]

Mad helpful. Ty, won evo.

[@Comoesa]

yo was the soul edited out?

[@kyuketsukirook]

So what exactly was different this time? Seems the same as the old version (even with the dated references to KOF XII.)

[@FelipeWalker2]

what changed?

[@RealDreamStation64]

A name for a hop in the original video. Let's just say it could be considered... politically incorrect... in today's context

[@FelipeWalker2]

@@RealDreamStation64 damn, you replied to a 3 month old comment man? LMAO thanks...I guess? Since you're already here, what was it? Short Hop and Hyper Hop doesn't seem offensive in any way.

[@RealDreamStation64]

@@FelipeWalker2 Nah. The original name was more... sexually slandering. lol

[@yeagmatic]

Nothing important. At 2:35 the og vid made a joke about how complicated all these different hops were with all their different names and it says "gay" in it so it is extremely offensive to people born after 2005

[@MashinBug]

drop some hands

[@fred146]

thanks for finally removing all the racial slurs

[@SpaceBoundFox]

It's honestly kinda sad that he had to, it made this video funnier

[@sonodv1709]

what racial slurs?

[@SpaceBoundFox]

@@sonodv1709 at 2:35 in the original video there was a lot of slurs on the right and tbh it made it so much funnier

[@sonodv1709]

@@SpaceBoundFox oh I see it now, I guess it's a little funny but probably better off without it; although I don't think most people cared in the first place.

[@monotheone5823]

You only changed the hop name joke? Not even updating the text to most recent KoF or recommending any modern easily accessible fighter? Actually pointless.

[@ThePageofCups]

Nothing's really changed. The fundamentals of KoF are the same. The things that are more different were never covered in the first place. The main value is that this is one video and encoded at higher resolution so the text is more legible. Not sure why this is a problem, I'm sorry you miss the quarter-of-a-second gay joke?

[@monotheone5823]

@@ThePageofCups Oh I think things have changed considering XII is no longer an upcoming game 15 years after it's release and that Street Fighter 4 isn't the hottest game in it's own franchise anymore. Even back when the video was 480p only, nothing was illegible considering the font is the boldest shit ever. You'd have to have worse eyes than somebody legally blind like me to have an issue with a sightly crappy bitrate. All this? To edit out one joke and nothing else? I call that paranoid and ultimately, pointless.

[@taham33]

@@monotheone5823 You are so cool, dude, you should be a little bit more cynical and whiny, it will really attract the ladies

[@christhechilled]

I played the KOF XV beta. With auto combos, hop don't mean jack like it used to.

[@ThePageofCups]

I know this is two years old, but boy I wonder how you felt being so wrong. Hop is as integral to good offense as ever.
