Love the content, even if he does sound like a mix of Dracula and Chris Charlton.

[@alexmcneill6445]

That Adelheid bit was glorious. X'D I wasn't aware that people wanted you to talk about him so bad. If you HAD to make a video on him, I'd include Rose too since both have so little to talk about. ^^; My only interest in him lies in his exclusion from KOF XIII. Adelheid _is_ the "secondary protagonist" of the Tales of Ash Saga, after all.

[@xandert8527]

I like Kusanagi. His anger makes him a fun character to play. You can hear his burning passion to fight, whether it be to destroy or for fun. Also, he is voiced by Mitsuo Iwata, the same person that voices Sean from Street Fighter III: Third Strike. I want him back.

[@conradojavier7547]

I want KUSANAGI to be his Characters using Kyo-1 & 2 as his Personal Striker like OG Zero.

[@rafikhankhadem6657]

Don't forget, Mitsuo Iwata is also Shotaro kaneda from AKIRA

[@nadiasolano504]

Actually Silver is more "similar" to Raizo (from rival schools) than akuma. Just put on a suit on Silver and draw him a mustache and that's it, they're the same person.

[@TonyTheTGR]

I think they're modeled after the same person, as is Leo from Guilty Gear

[@openinginawe5518]

AU where Kula gets adopted by Terry. Also The riot of blood is terrifying to think about.

[@JoystickV2]

I would watch that without thinking twice. - V.D.

[@oreore949]

I'd definitely watch that show. Also, fellow Mother 3 fan, nice.

[@lacreatura4737]

If you think about it, If Terry ever adopted Kula, Rock would grow quite differently.

[@deciduous_reaper]

Where you got that from was it in a movie or tv show or an actual game?

[@RudyBlackman]

Hulk mode

[@tarodeculture]

I WILL NOT SHUT UP ABOUT ADELHEID! NOT UNTIL I SEE HIM IN XV! Ahem... I definitely agree with Wild Iori/Leona being #1, but more so Iori because of his unique vicious super where drags you to the ground and rips you apart being one of the most memorable supers in the series. Plenty of midbosses to like, especially in KoF XI. My favorite though would have to be Angel in 2002 UM simply because of her theme song...

[@soukenmarufwt5224]

Angel in 2002 has very poor AI though :/ If you back her to a corner she does absolutely nothing but block. Her attacks are easy to counter when AI is controling her. Did i mention point requirement for her is less then 250k points. Less then 300k to 250k mid boss is K9999 300k points and above you fight Kula

[@madil2259]

I never knew the points requirement. I've only been able to play angel and K9999. I never cared about the points really.

[@luuduonghy659]

How many point are required to fight with Kusanagi as a mid boss; he is the hardest mid boss to be unlock in KOF 2002

[@sanctityninja9345]

Kula is my favorite mid boss because the way she is introduced the stage but freezing the entire area to show how powerful she is and her theme is GOOD!

[@ChaosAngel667]

Agree, I was like "DAMN I WANT HER TO WIN!" even if she was challenging me.

[@zerobeatw2059]

-get's to Angel... say's An-hell... " HE SAID IT RIGHT!" lol... I still don't get why it's pronounced that way tho.

[@tarodeculture]

It's how Angel is pronounced in Spanish since she's Mexican.

[@zerobeatw2059]

ahh OK... thing was, I never knew she was. tho I figured that was why anyone would pronounce it that way. but until I knew, I never wanted to assume she was of any Hispanic decent or anything. tho... her being on team Mexico explains it all now lol. grief I'm slow. I kinda figured she was there because why not. but this makes a bit more sense... plus some of her wrestling moves

[@danriu]

@@tarodeculture As a mexican I can tell you he is not pronouncing it right either, he is putting the accent in the wrong place... and sound horrible the way he pronounces it XDDDD, its AN!-hell not an-HELL! the accent its on the first syllable.

[@TonyTheTGR]

It's the Mexico dialect, yeah.

[@usamazahid3882]

In my honest opinion, I don't say it like An-Hell. I always call it the way it was pronounced by many westerns.

[@vanillacream2383]

I gained my love for O. Leona and Iori from the mobile game KOF 98 UM OL. Just the way they lose their minds once the ROTB activates from Orochi’s presence was intimidating yet lovely. The backstories behind the forms is saddening though.

[@John-Stark]

the other reason why is because Angel is too distracting to fight, ESPECIALLY in 14

[@Direk_Carla]

I have faced both Orochi Iori and Leona in the arcade back in my college years (2001). Those were the days of struggle, and with luck I'm able to defeat them. The Orochi saga is one of the best parts of the KOF series. Nameless is interesting tho yes K9999 is sadly a rip off of Tetsuo from Akira that added to his infamy. His attitude as well. Great video again!

[@ShoryuGame]

Thanks, I agree with what you said.

[@juanca2567]

@@ShoryuGame I was rewatching your amazing videos and have this to say. 1. I will never forgive 2002 UM for not only ditching both K9999 and Orochi Iori, but for creating Nameless in game with no real story mode (something not even Samurai Showdown did), and I can say that with confidence now thanks to K9999’s return as Krohnen. And 2 you’re going to regret saying “anyone can win Kula’s heart with ice cream 🍨” as that is the leaked reason why Kula is teaming up with Angel and Krohnen.

9:29 *Insert sad music here* RIP K9999 I will never forget you 😢 I will never forgive SNK for eliminated him

[@yedo8516]

I appreciate that you've given Silber some love. Honestly, I missed this guy. He was so different from the rest of the characters in XI, no fireballs, exaggerated combos, no teleportation--this dude was all hands and feet. This guy is all about conventional strikes, and all he wants is to end you with as few hits as possible. This is in reference to Bruce Lee's old adage of fearing the man who's practiced the same kick 10000 times. Unlike other Karate practitioners in King of Fighters, Silber set himself apart with his less-flashy but equally effective fighting style. I used to love landing his counter super when playing with my friends. I would honestly love to see this guy return again as a playable character.

[@ShoryuGame]

Same. He's pretty unique.

[@adamnakamura8003]

I’d imagine his connection to Oswald is a “Goku and Hit” situation.

[@GANGRELION]

Wait a minute! I'm pretty sure you talked about Adelheid before. Anyway! I love your videos, and would like to suggest a video talking about the Game Boy Advanced versions of KOF. Especially EX2, which has its own plot with its own unique and exclusive characters and bosses. It's already rare to see people talking about KOF on youtube, but seems like even the SNK community chose to ignore these "ugly ducks" in the series, so I thought it would be an interesting subject for a video. In any case, thanks for the content, and just keep the good work!

[@MaxMax-qg7gw]

Kof XI need to be rereleased My favorite mini boss is Kusanagi because he is my main in kof 2002

[@rebelgaming4327]

Nameless has the coolest looking flames its a shame they got rid of him

[@Zwyrx_Hgqfyggz]

Billy Kane is easily the most annoying midboss in Fatal Fury

[@yagamigirl_2047]

Orochi Iori and Orochi Leona are King and Queen of mid bosses ✨💕💪🏽👸🏻🤴🏻.

[@ems6706]

I really think SNK has the best grasp of bringing out characters personality through their fighting style, and even characters who use the same style come off with very different strengths and weakness based on how they personally use their style. A good example is Goneitz and Iori using similar techniques because Orochi gifted Iori's techniques to his ancestors. Like functionally similar, but Iori using flames and not enjoying fighting means he uses them to end fights quickly. Goenitz uses wind, and wanting to show off the power of his God makes him come off like he's toying with your team to show off when he could probably kill his opponents much faster if he used them like Iori does. Small details like that is why SNK is one of the best fighting game developers ever imo.

[@brandonmaverick6437]

I really liked K9999 tho...... he was my secret weapon to defeat Rugal in 2002 lol

[@richiemakyura724]

Its Hard to decide who is the best my personal favorite mid boss. I say Kyo Clones on 2002 UM, because we never get the chance to fight Kyo 1, 2 and Kusanagi as regular CPU characters in his debut games (I know Kusanagi its mid boss on 2003)

[@TonyTheTGR]

That Kyo-1 is ridiculously fun to play/fight.

[@TonyTheTGR]

You add Shingo, but not Shion?! :( Shion was magnificent, and my personal top.

Oh, and Orochi Iori/Leona was not the first sub-boss. *points to Saishu and Chizuru*

I've also played all main games, and this is my favorite series, but i also have some preferences that differ from the general community opinions. It's still true that the Ash Saga is definitely not popular and sometimes people are not passionate about some chars unfortunate enough to have debuted in it. The negative opinion about the arc ends up affecting the perception about those chars (which is not correct imo).

Yeah, I'd say the Blood Riot fights deserve the top spot.

It stays with you.

[@pyronfr]

Nah, Geese kidnapped Hotaru, Gato's younger sister. In Garou Mark of the Wolves (their origin) Hotaru was looking for her brother (Gato) but when she met him, he denied their relation, and they just fight. Gato kinda hold back not wanting to hurt Hotaru (I think), Hotaru notices his moves and says his brother are the only guy who can perform that move, but Gato kinda just meh. So why did Gato kinda abandoned her little sister? It's because of their family problem, Gato wants to get revenge on his father because he killed their mother. Gato trained day by day. He didn't want to involved Hotaru on their family problem, that's why. Back in KOF, Gato really does cares about his younger sister that's why he teamed up with Billy and Yamazaki. Geese said he will only freed his younger sister if they won.
