Thank you for this video. Will you be doing lore for other KoF spin-off games, like the EX games and Maximum Impact?

@@vijeomasher9154 naw only the mainline series. I have never even played any of hte maximum impact games

@@rooflemonger count your blessings you didn't. the plot and characters there were even more nonsensical

Hey, sorry to bring this up, but Saiki is Ash's Ancestor, Ash is the Descendant.

Here's your crown King...of fighters 👑

I'd be curious to see Botan and Shroom gameplay, concidering their prevalence in the story.

We will just get team Rugal family at that point

Happy to help!

yeah return wise I could slap something random together about strive or dbfz or whatever and it would 100% do better view wise, and take 1/20th the effort. But I promised, so its finally here.

@@rooflemonger Thank you.

Fan since KOF 99' here, and i feel your commentary a lot, i loved when non-main characters are given the spotlight or at least given a task for the current game. I LOVED the Krohnen/K' feud and have the best endings of XV despite not being the focus of the saga, sadly the rest of the non-main teams suffered of irrelevancy as well, Terry needed to be on the Hero team spotlight instead of Benimaru, Terry was the obvious choice to partner Shun Ei' since the connectios with Tung, which i can't believe he went: "Should i call my best ex-disciple which defeated another powerful ex-disciple of mine, which is respected by most fighters and would jump right in no questions? Nah, let's call someone who i barely know just because of a random martial art and put someone who i don't even know to guide Shun E' and Meitenkun" PS: We need the FF team with Andy or Mai on the lead with Joe.

@@ppprime98K KoF XV storywise felt very lack luster in general imo. From how irrelevant Team Orochi and Ash were to the plot when they came back, team Sacred Treasures having their least plot relevant story ever in a KoF game, I'd argue K' as well having hist story just be finding Kula who was only mad about the amusement Park is a far cry from his plots since '03. The one thing I'll give it though is the depiction of the characters was spot in and the development of Krohnen/K9999 was great. As for the protagonist team, I feel Tung Fu Rue should've returned with them but having Benimaru wasn't the worst choice imo considering his well established status of winning KoF tournaments but I agree that he doesn't have the experience of helping someone keep their power controlled. Only reasons it wouldn't be Terry are for 1, he doesn't have that experience either and 2, as they said they don't want to progress the AoF or FF teamsin KoF unless said characters get developed in their own franchise which sadly means they'll probably never win the title in canon.

I think it has the deepest overall story. Guilty Gear probably has "the most" story though in terms of the world they built

bless you

Hello Jose. The ending of this video pretty much explain why I hate the Verse Saga. There is never any consequences in this series anymore. I HATE how KoF XIV and XV ruined the bittersweet ending of XIII, bringing back Ash and many KOF villains from the dead. SNK doesn't care about the lore anymore 😞

Don't you like when the villains are killed off by the power of script? 😆 Ash is my least favorite protagonist. I don't like his design, gameplay and his annoying personality. He is an annoying jerk. He almost ruined everything at the end, only to Elisabeth to fix Ash's mess. Another thing I don't like about this saga is how almost all the new male characters have a very feminine design. Shion being the worst case. But that's just my personal opinion. Finally, the whole Kensou's Dragon Spirit and Ron with the Hizoku plot was forgotten again

He is when he's jazzed up with 2 sacred treasures boosting him, but by himself naw he's not a match for Kyo or K'

And he doesn't put much effort into his attacks, imagine if he went all in with them.

thank you!

@@rooflemonger the ending breaks my heart

Gaia made orochi with the absolute intent of wiping out the human race. Gaia does not like humanity in the KoF universe and all its followers are explicit enemies of humanity.

@@rooflemonger No, Gaia is the mother earth so she is everything that exists (time, space, multiverse, forces, beings, etc), Orochi is mentioned as "The beast of antiquity" and He was created by Gaia from ancient times even more that humanity, He was created to seek a balance between the planet and the beings, the reason why Orochi is knowed as "The will of Gaia" is cus he has the absolute power and he is "The beloved of Gaia" but this doesn't mean that Gaia hates humanity, Orochi wants a balance between humans and the planet but by our own nature we need to destroy our environment and some of us generate an imbalance, Orochi does not hate all humans and does not necessarily want to wipe humanity, this is confirmed by the dialogue between Saiki and Mature, speaking of Saiki, he was created by Gaia with the same intention, to seek a balance between the planet and the beings that live on it, but He was never interested in that and always sought his own benefit and ideology, kof story itself says that Saiki and his clan were worshiped as Gods by the humans of ancient Europe and then these humans betrayed him, Saiki does hate humans but not because these generate an imbalance, he hates them because he thinks that humans are inferior beings and their existence is "worse than garbage", Gaia's will is order and disorder, a balance and an imbalance that coexist, if Gaia hated the humans, kof xv story would not say that the hermits of Africa had met Otoma since the story says that they could travel through space-time because they were one with nature

Unfortunately there's a lot less to go on there. 14/15 is the end of the saga, there is no trilogy. Basically only exists to bring the dead characters back to life

hooray

Ash's femininity is a large part of why he was despised back in the day. It wasn't a factor in the games but the players hated him for it because that's just how things were back then. These days people are a lot more accepting thankfully.

I use feathers as ephemera for the floof. And that is 100% a rope dart.

Ash was very much hated at the time which is why they weren't scared to kill him off. Time heals all wounds though and a fondness was built for him which is why he was brought back.

@@rooflemonger taking Iori flame power was very bad lol. Almost as bad as Magneto taking away Wolverine adamantium. 😂

12 is basically beta 13

Time constraints did

SNK did. 12 was... basically an unfinished game. There was no story or plot.

cause kof will never move past orochi, simple as that basically.

@@rooflemonger Pretty much. And I hate that. That's why I love about the NESTS Saga, it was its own thing and the characters introduced there are much better than the characters of the other saga. I am so tired of Orochi and the Hakkeshu. Sadly, KOF wants to be very safe for their stories now. And the actual saga is easily the most dissapointing. Pure fanservice to bring back dead characters. Sorry for sounding a bit angry I just hate the actual lore of KOF I much prefer the old canon when death had consequences.
