Justin - “What happened?!” You’re fighting an SNK boss. That’s what happened. 😂

[@ShaneDouglas713]

In a nutshell

[@xDragonInstallx]

His AI has a huge exploit. Igniz always does DP on wakeup if you're jumping at him. So you knock him down then jump over him and his dp will miss. Punish him with a combo that knocks down near you or simply sweep if you don't have one. Rinse and repeat.

[@darththew]

this is it.

[@nemesis3587]

Yes, my favoorite exploit. It just makes him easiest SNK boss. I think they tried to make him more broken but resulted huge exploit.

[@gwinbeer]

See SNK BOSS syndrome part 3 (KZbin video). It was so funny

[@aislanarislou]

He also can't block low so you can keep tripping him just like goodman from neogeo battle collisuem. The guy from XI is harder than igniz for this alone.

@@AverageShotoMain01 I sometimes suspect Andy isn't the brightest bulb. Though to be fair, characters not involved in the main story have a high chance of being treated as comic relief. For KOF XIV, I'd say 9 of the 16 teams were investigating what was going on behind the tournament, trying to stop something (whether it be Verse or just another team), progressing their own story through the tournament, or were outright hired to attend. Two more had prologues that were too vague to decide (Geese, Xanadu). The final five were in it for the prize money or to prove themselves.

That's because 96 has dated game play. You have to catch him when he teleports with a close range projectile.

[@meganinten0078]

Good to see Justin playing KOF 2001. I like this game :) It has the best version of the stryker system imo. Depending of how many Strykers you choose your character(s) will become stronger, making more damage, having higher stamina and filling the special gauge faster. Plus it is cool to make a bit combo using 3 strykers. I wish KOF 2002 had a more refined version of the stryker system of 2001

[@rugalbernstein7822]

I find in this game the ai is not only easy but sometimes buggy. There are simple ways to trick the bosses: Original Zero: play Mai and do her fan throw projectile, If you don’t move after hitting zero he stays still. You can win by time out using this Igniz: just sweep, jump behind him right as he gets up and he’ll try and do that anti air whip move and just as he lands sweep. Rinse and repeat And igniz will NEVER be better than me

Have you fought Rugal in KOF 2002? On the Unlimited Match edition, the game says 'Do the best you can'.

[@PikangsFutaba]

I remember have played the original Arcade release (named Road to Revenge for some odd reason), and players tried not only to beat him, but to ACTUALLY get to fight him (they failed to get the fight to begin with... at least until I did it and they didn't expect the game actually NOT trust the players skills to win with that "Do the best you can" message) it took me a couple of runs but it was funny to see how a more casual player ended up figuring out how to trigger the fight and beat him as well compared to the other players who were more focused on the competitive scene for the most part, I was saw pretty much as their hero for showing the conditions to fight Rugal in KOF 2002 UM (particulary the condition most players fail almost always... and that is that you can ONLY lose up to 3 rounds during the entire Arcade run, lose 4 or more and your run gets banned from fighting Rugal, and the aditional condition for Arcade versions only is that you cannot have a 2nd player challenge you, it will count instantly as a match lost, and the other contidion players fail but not in a frequent way is that you need to defeat any of the default 4 bosses with a DM if you can't win with your 1st character or without losing a round in single play mode... draw game by time or double KO still count as a no round lost if is your match point for single play or your 1st character for that condition, but NOT for the 3 round lost limit).

[@huevonesunltd]

These two are very easy, very predictable , i think even the 98 one is harder. The "AI" of the one in 02UM is pretty much the same that in 02 but feels harder just because Rugal got buffed to have new combos that the vanilla version tries to do but can't but in 02UM are possible to do (juggling genocide cutter into others)

Which is a shame cause he is one of my Personal favourites. The Exceptions to the rule (that can come to mind, personally) is Athena's Team.

Rare time for a SNK boss (aside of SVC Chaos Red Arremer (AKA as Firebrand)) to end up with a KO (I'm pretty used to see time overs to be honest), if you do 2002 UM you better get ready for potential failed runs against Rugal (fail to beat him = instant Game Over), plus, you need to complete some few conditions like not losing more than 3 rounds and if you lose a round against any of the other 4 bosses (Krizalid, Clone Zero, Zero or Igniz... as long as you don't lose more than 3 rounds) defeat said boss with a DM with your 2nd or 3rd character (or in single play mode in your match point, if the 1st round in team play or match point in single play as long as you have not lost a round against the boss ends up with Draw by double KO or time over, the game still count it as a no round lose for the no round lost condition vs the boss... but it WILL count the round as lost for the 3 rounds limit).
