One thing that I love about KoF, is that character stories are the same from their original games until KoF starts, so Terry still is the winner of Fatal fury's tournaments, while the Sakazaki's clan still the master of their karate style, I had never played Art of Fighting before KoF, so I was totally lost of their backstory at first, this was a master move by SNK, the game instantly had massive lore behind it And the Orochi saga is still the best saga of any fighting game to date, although there was some things missing here, like it was Ralf and Clark that stopped Leona's riot of the blood state in 97, but overall this video is great

- is that character stories are the same from their original games until KoF starts, so Terry still is the winner of Fatal fury's tournaments, while the Sakazaki's clan still the master of their karate style - This is exactly why i kinda hate and i have trouble with KoF tubers and magazines, they all insist they're different timelines like it is a fact, but i just know the Original games are simply histories or plots that fit between KOF main plots like a filler thing - EG, FF3 is before KOF 97, which has Yamazaki's and Mary KOF introductions, and AOF 3 is before 96, which has Kasumi's introduction -. Is like, you're watching a piece of a Tetris pizzle and you just see how the piece fits, but many people don't see it or decide not to

@@xm_heecka.laddder.job_mx5962 I'm pretty sure they're different timelines because the characters don't age. Unlike in fatal fury and Aof where they do age. Also, I think Geese and Krauser are alive in kof which is obviously not the case Fatal fury.

​@@xm_heecka.laddder.job_mx5962Actually, only Art of Fighting 1 and 2, and Fatal Fury 1 and 2 are canon in KOF. That's why Geese isn't dead in KOF, because Real Bout Fatal Fury never happened in the KOF timeline. One exception is the KOF Maximum Impact series, which are a continuity of the Art of Fighting and Fatal Fury series, where the Fatal Fury games are canon until Real Bout Fatal Fury, because Mark of the Wolves is not canon there either.

For a long time I thought Yuki was successfully sacrificed and when she said she'll wait for Kyo, that meant she was waiting for him in the after life. A much more bittersweet ending. His girlfriend is dead, but he saved the world. To be honest, that sounds like a better ending, but I'm still happy with what actually happened.

I wanted to make a king of fighters story. But the reality has to be more mortal kombat esque there. And I could’ve written where Kyos girlfriend was sacrificed to Orochi and despite saving the world, he lost his young love of his life. That he would try to be serious at what loved ones should be saved. Maybe respect to his team Japan teammates and maybe Iori, his rival and Chizuru, his allied clan heiress. L

There are some mistakes. 1. Orochi first came into being 1800 year ago before the Kof 95, not thousands of years ago. 2. 660 years before Kof 95, not after Orochi was sealed, the seal started to weaken. 3. Rugal was not a potential vessel for Orochi. Rugal after seeing Goenitz powers, wanted Orochi powers for himself. Just saying. Been playing kof series for over 2 decades so know a thing or two. Hope that clears up few things.

@@ShoryuGame 1. You're telling me the Japanese mythology, not kof lore if you're saying Orochi of kof existed for more than 1800 years before the kof95. 2. I'm right. 3. Again, saying Rugal was a potential Orochi host was never official in any kof lore till date. This is your opinion only. Also, only those of the Orochi bloodline can control Orochi power, therefore Rugal can never be seen as Orochi vessel by Goenitz. And Yes I do like your videos.

I guess I knew about Kyo and Iori and Chizuru being the SNK Triforce of sorts, but that's about it, thanks for all the details. It's a very rich and consistant plot. As opposed to so many other games. I love Street Fighter, but they should do the same, skip years in between games, create narrative arcs to actually be excited about, and have their characters evolve. It moved a bit in V but they keep retconning themselves in order to include characters that first appeared in the future of the canon. It doesn't always have to be about Ryu and his power. It's been 30 years and Ryu has the same gi and his quest is always the same, 'keep it cool'. Maybe he can finally master it for good and move on? Let someone else be the focus. Necalli was whack. They did OK with Rashid, but eventually the story revolved back to Bison and the Psycho Power and the Satsui no Hadou and Guile and Nash and Chun-Li's Dad and basically go watch Street Fighter the Movie. This game is set before III and is supposed to bridge the story from Bison to the Illuminati. Let's hope VI picks up after III, so that we can finally get out of this mess.

Team, the athlete team i think KOF 94, and also They only Join KOF 97 it is becuase they saw to the advertise that Iori will join that Year... and the reason why Yashiro, got angry with Iori, it is because Iori, have a band name YCS, the event organizer, 1st reserved YCS Band to perform, the event organizer didn't know the detail that the 1st Reserved YCS Band is for Yashiro, Chris, and Shermie, and the event organizer give the performance to YCS Iori's Band, the credit of fame that makes Yashiro burning desire to crush Iori, and the KOF 97 event is only fate, that they are the member or bloodline of Orochi...

YSC didn't kill the USA team. In the later games the Sports team was beaten up and had their invitations taken by Vanessa's team.

Si Leona ay same din ng storya sa Uchiha (Specifically kay Itachi) na pinatay ang angkan, including their parents. Ito at marami pang iba. 🤔 (kaway kaway sa mga Pinoy fans ng KOF at Naruto)

Great vid man. Just a small correction though - Team Japan actually beats the New Faces Team according to the kof wiki. The Sacred Treasures team form during the orochi fight. I think it kinda makes sense that the New Faces Team fought Team Japan as they are counterparts to each other and control the same 3 elements of fire, lightning and earth.

KOF is its own canon. It ignores most of the Fatal Fury canon. The original timeline is this... Art Of Fighting (and sequels), Fatal Fury (and sequels) and ends with Garou: Mark Of The Wolves. That’s the original and official Fatal Fury Timeline. KOF is it’s own timeline that happens to have characters from Art Of Fighting, Fatal Fury and Garou in it and has its original characters. However their history and origins are changed in this one. And some of their personalities are a bit different. But not too different.

​@@ShadowrulzalwaysArt of Fighting 1 and 2 are canon to KOF except 3, though the gap from Fatal Fury is reduced from 10 years to most likely a couple of months, then Fatal Fury 1 and 2, but not 3, Real Bout and Mark of the Wolves. Art of Fighting 3, Fatal Fury 3, and Real Bout Fatal Fury, all three of these games except Mark of the Wolves are canon only to KOF Maximum Impact, because it's intended to be a continuity of Art of Fighting and Fatal Fury.

One thing I never understood is the ending where you play as The New Face team, beat Orochi, and then Yashiro proceeds to kill Chris and Shermie and then himself to give energy to Orochi. Why did he kill Chris if he was the vessel to Orochi?

That ending is not canon. Why would they fight Orochi in the first place.
@dave9020
@dave9020 4 жыл бұрын
If you played as that ending, the Regular New Face Team are alternate copies of the Real Orochi Trio team. Orochi Chris was the vessel to Orochi, the copy of Chris(regular Chris) seems unable to awaken, just like Shermie and Yashiro. To answer the "Why would they fight Orochi" part: Orochi requested them to fight him to gather even more energy to awaken Orochi even further, but in doing so, they accidentally killed him(somehow...). Then Yashiro killed them to hopefully give enough energy to resurrect him again. That's just my take on it, though. I could be completely wrong.
