I always appreciated that in the RBFF games, if you lived a Hououkyaku, Kim would nod in approval, but if you got KO'd by it, he was shake his head in disappointment. Such a nice little subtle touch to show Kim's personality

[@abc2390986]

And I am glad that they actually brought this back in XV.

[@ricardoperea3794]

The old games were full of so much creativity it was amazing. Like what they lacked in graphics and power processor they made sure they make it up by using whatever it was at their hands to the max. Something newer games have gotten so lazy about

Thanks to SNK too! Because of them I master Kusanagi art style! Now I can create fire like Kyo Kusanagi 🔥

[@Emezie]

I appreciate how KOF 94 and 95 respected the original sequence of attacks from FF2: knee, punch, back leg knee/kick, side kick, axe kick, crouching spin kick, hook kick, round kick, hien zan. 2002 and NeoWave also had a similar tribute, as well.

[@manafbenayache1880]

Wow wow 😲 you have actually mentioned all Taekwondo 🥋 moves Kim uses in his super ! Well I have done this before on my pc with slow motion mode ! Are you a Saiyan or something ? Lol

[@UltramanMebiusBrave]

I actually prefer the Houou Kyaku that ends with a mid-air Nerichagi.

[@agriviaa]

Can't help but notice after you mentioned it. 2002's and NeoWave's also retain his knee animation. Nice touch.

[@meganinten0078]

Small trivias. Kim Sue-Il from Kizuna Encounter, the descendant of Kim Kaphwan (Fatal Fury/KOF), was the first character to make a phoenix at the end of the Houou Kyaku. Kizuna Encounter came before Real Bout Special. The aerial version of the Houou Kyaku started thanks to a bug in KOF94 Sometimes the best things happen by mistake ^_^

[@BryonYoungblood]

Also this. Tensho Houou Kyaku is heavily referencing Kim's Houou Kyaku from Real Bout Fatal Fury, especially with the Hienzan ending with two blows and the afterimage of a phoenix after Kim sends his opponent flying.

[@tribulacion]

@@BryonYoungblood Also I noticed first in this video that the aerial motion from XIV and XV that takes the opponent into the air and slams them back to the ground first started in MI

[@BryonYoungblood]

@@tribulacion Props to SNK for that little touch for usr

[@WRILLI4M]

A curious bonus: Ryo's ryuko ranbu also had the same bug back in '94, but only Kim kept the aerial super. Makes sense, since Ryo became solely a grounded character and Kim kept his aerial moves.

[@VieiraOCara]

You are always around here, and I like it

[@junkyyard2273]

Yeah i kinda wish they let MI be part of the canon

[@WRILLI4M]

Well, she's quite like a "female Kim", so when they decided to add a female student, they came up with May Lee, who has her own twist. A bit like Dong Hwan and Jae Hoon, only a more pronounced difference.

[@carlosaugusto9821]

The RB1 from 95 version was historically important to define the tone of the voice during the screams, and especially define the scream from the end. That became the main model for the other games. It's only in KOF 02 that it started changing a little.

[@WRILLI4M]

The 2002 version is my favorite.

[@Ryusuta]

I'm really glad you also kept in the Capcom vs. SNK games. Those were my introduction to a lot of the KoF characters, so it's very nostalgic to hear that version.

[@manhwafanatic]

15’s climax has the other phoenix incorporated into it; the voice over of early kof, real bout’s phoenix summon and hienzan, 13/14’s teleports, and the camera work of Maximum Impact.

Hay un detalle que me parece curioso del Neo Max de Kim en Kof XIII. Todos los Neo Max tienen un efecto visual y sonoro caracteristico, el escenario se vuelve negro y la musica de fondo casi ni se escucha, para darle un toque de impacto a cada movimiento. Pero con Kim, el escenario se aprecia en todo el Neo Max (Excepto al castearse) y la musica no deja de sonar. No se si hicieron eso a proposito, pero me parece algo genial. Todos los personajes a parte de sus habilidades de combate usan algo externo al pelear, como los poderes Psiquicos de Athena y Kensou, las llamas de Kyo, Ash, K', los pequeños restos de la sangre Orochi de Iori, pero Kim en su mayoria (si no es que su totalidad) depende unicamente de su fuerza Fisica. Kim no es mas fuerte que Kyo, Ash, Iori, Terry, etc. Pero aun sin contar con algo especial, es un personaje de temer, un verdadero heroe y defensor de la justicia.

[@ImLuckyVictini201]

Gracias por ese detalle que no note mientras jugaba en el Kof XIII
