"gato is the most violent fighter in the tournament" that's saying something when compared to freeman, a literal serial killer

This guy needs more subs because he works hard to find the material for story .

23 Years Later 2022 Is MARKed. Wolves Never Sleeps

This game is sooo goooood!!! Can we stop a moment to appreciate the animation of Rock's jacket?, it's very detailed and elegant.

"I'm just glad to know Yamazaki doing well" aren't we all, that guy is just so nice

This video rocks like its owner, thanks mate, nostalgia, nostalgia...

Love the 5:43 part when dad unexpectedly teleports behind his sons.

Along with SFIII 3rd Strike and Martial Masters, this is the pinnacle of 2D sprite-based fighting game of the late '90s. Such a shame that the sequel was abandoned, having 70% progress done by the Garou team.

I really like Terry's outfit in MOTW, especially the leather jacket

Roses are red Violets are blue SNK please give us Garou MOTW 2 great video man .

I'm actually more curious about how Gato's story continues more so than Rock's.

The way you chained each character with another... Genius

A sequel would set the fighting game world on fire. THIS would be the thing that truly says SNK is back and better than ever (if done right).

Terry met Rock after the events of FF3, not after Real Bout - Rock is the kid in Terry's FF3 ending.

I'm hoping that Garou: Mark of the wolves will come back as like Samurai shodown did, I also planning on getting the Garou: Mark of the wolves game as well

This game is underrated, really hope SNK follows up...

As weird as this sounds for a long time I always thought that Terry and andy bogard were actually secretly the real children of geese howard. And no not because they are blond like geese. But because I had always thought that it was strange that geese had never finished off Terry and andy and that the real reason was because they were his real children. Honestly as ironic as that sounds I thought it was cool. Also because I thought that it would make Terry and rocks relationship modes of a brother type of thing having Terry look after rock because he's actually his younger brother and not because he pitied the fact that geese was his father. I mean that would also make this entire thing go full circle. And then maybe have Terry take over geeses crime syndicate or something like that. Maybe having geese tell him that before he falls to his death. If there was some type of spinoff story that had this I'd actually really like it. And as much as this makes no sense I actually thought this for a long time before I started doing more research.

A shame that this story was never continued.

4. Khusnood Theme (forgot the name) 3. Hotaru Theme (Philantrophy Belfry) 2. Terry Theme (Sunrise on the Train) 1. Rock Theme (Spread the Wings) Every fighting game enthusiast SHOULD play this game

I really love how much commitment you've poured into what is an extremely niche channel idea, you really try your best. Good stuff.

Still waiting on that sequel, haha. I'm also waiting on some translations on those canon side stories, like the one that takes place after Real Bout but before Garou. XP Nice video, all the same~ Educate these guys with your SNK knowledge!

This is probably the only fighting game with a good cop character besides Chun Li. Crazy how rare that is.

"Join us for the next part where we'll discover the events that followed in the sequel,... oh wait there is no sequel." He just had to go there didn't he? The fate of both Rock and Gato still bothers me just as much as Soiree's fate in KOF MI2. These questions might never be answered (I'd *KILL* if it does answer them).

I realized that some people have been waiting for Garou: Mark of The Wolves 2, longer than I've been alive

This was the only fighting game I was good at in the arcades xD

I dreamt of GMOTW 2 since i completed GMOTW. Maybe one day

Even if a sequel never comes out, I hope we get a story explaining where the developers were gonna go with the story. Great video!

My favourite SNK fighting game! I hope to see this cast soon again!

I've been waiting for this ever since you mentioned this on one of your previous videos. Awesome!

This is great! I've always wondered about Rock and the story/lore of Garou.

Such great story summaries with an awesome sense of humor. Keep these coming!

Man you’re channel is CLUTCH you just put together 3 whole stories I was trying to find out myself good stuff dude

I just downloaded this for Switch last week. Great game. I suck at fighting games, but I like playing them, and the animations just caught my eye.

Quality as always, my man. I'm very grateful for your channel, the number one source for SNK lore!

Never knew most the characters actually knew it's other in the canon! Mark of the Wolves is so amazing, such a bummer the sequel got cancelled...

This was the shit back in the day. Feels disconnected from the other KOF, FF series but that's what made it special.

I remember playing this game at my local arcade back in the early 2000's. I was already a huge KOF fan and immediately enjoyed Mark of the Wolves! Just as you described the gameplay was well animated with the modernized sprites and the attack moves and the story was very intriguing. It's a shame they never released a sequel, but I remember playing a couple of SNK titles around this time that tried to appeal to the KOF and Street fighter audience but never got the same popularity. Last blade was another that I could remember playing and LOVING but eventually they got booted for Marvel vs. Capcom and SF sequels. Thank you so much for covering this title and giving me more to appreciate in it's nostalgia. Please keep up the good work.

I love how we get to witness the story unfold in actual gameplay footage👍 this channel rules!

SNK needs to work on a sequel. It's been 21 years now

This game deserves so much more popularity. Luckily it's in my local tournament.

Can’t tell you how much I love this channel haha. Sick vid!

I love Garou, and I really wanted to see a sequel because after Rock's ending... Like, I seriously don't know how they could continue after that (maybe making Rock a subboss to Kain? I don't know). Also Terry is my main as always, but I must say I love his voiceclips in this game, they are awesome! xD "BAHNING!"

Subbed a few days ago and can't stop watching your vids. Your channel deserves much much more recognition!

Excellent video! I love this game, it was new and came to my life in a transitional moment (year 2000 in Argentina). I started playing it again a few months ago and still enjoy it. I am all for stories and plotlines, and I think that most characters here have some unresolved issue related to their past and/or family ties that move them to compete in the event. Thanks again for such a quality content!

Awesome I was waiting for this!

ITS ABOUT TIME YOU MAKE VIDS ABOUT MARK

I've been waiting for this one.

Absolutly love this, thank you for all your hard work!

One of my favorite fighting games from that era, though I knew very little of the lore. Thanks for the video, it was very informative!

Man ur channel is gold, always watching you, we are the golden generation we know how big was SNK back then.

I've never been more excited to click on a video in my life. Garou is my favorite game of all time! \o/

Great job with this retrospective! I like a lot of the characters within this game. I just hope Rock knows what he’s doing....

WE BACK FAM!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Keep up the good work buddy. I really like these lore videos as for me it's really hard to follow through real stories in fighting games as almost all of them have cheesy dialogues and bits of quick cinematics. 😁👍🏾

some good youtube content to watch first thing in the morning

I always enjoy your videos, and thank you very much for this episode!

Siiiiiigh. I've been waiting so long for the sequel to finally answer some questions. Please, PLEASE let the Lone Wolf and Cub have the spotlight again some day, SNK. Their characters are wasted as KOF non-entities. One of my favorite things about this game though is the example it sets for code mastery. This was one of the last games that was released on the original Neo Geo hardware, which had a lifespan of around 15 years when compared to a typical console life of about 5. When you compare just how much more advanced this game is than, say, the original Fatal Fury, you would not be blamed if you believed them to be built for entirely different consoles. It was nearly the difference between the SNES and the Playstation despite the Neo Geo being somewhere between the two (24 bit console, as opposed to the SNES 16 and the Playstation's 32). The programmers by this point were so familiar with the hardware they could make it do things it was never designed or intended to do, and it really shows here.

Dude. Shoryu how could you tease me with that trick at the end! I thought there was a part two of Garou! Ya got me! lol. Yes, Mark of the Wolves is a completely underrated game with some great fighting mechanics. Of course i rocked Khushnood Butt the most just because he played like Takuma, and i loved the way his voice echoed during his super lol. I think this is the game that had that awesome 3 hitter combo from Terry, but i can't remember lol. Of course Rock and Hokutomaru were awesome to play because of the familiarity, but the only character i REALLY sucked at was Gato. For some reason i could not really master that guy lol. I really wish they would make a part 2 of this game and bring back a lot of the characters they introduced. At the very least, SNK should tap them for a KOF team or two! South Town Team and Second South Town team are 6 right there! Thanks Shoryu for the trip down memory lane!

I've always wanted to know about this game tysm for working hard and uploading a vid Keep up mate 👊👊👊

Love this channel so much. Thanks a lot!

Ah this was helpful and I hope a sequel comes soon.

Thanks for putting an amazing game out there, I appreciate it.

Great video as always bro 💯💯💯 n I had no clue kevin was related to mary lol n U blew my mind about Kim poppin up on dong when he wins.I thought dat was Jae hoon.

Another amazing video man! You sincerely rock... howard!

Another Amazing Vid Man! Got Garou cuz of this to see how the characters play. All your SNK Lore vids are Awesome, but can you do the Guilty Gear Lore sometime? I searched all over KZfaq and found some vids but I still prefer your style of explaining. Stay Safe Man!

Thanks for this great content,can't believe i only heard about this game last year,hope we see a sequel tho.

The guy in the blue hat is supposed to be Kain's Butler and the girl with the orange pants is Joe Higashi pupil who I think appeared in a KOF Fatal Fury ending. Gato's father was also going to be in the sequel as well

Awesome video again. You doing amazing job SG. Keep it up.

I have a few suggestions for videos I want to see in the near future. KOF lore for Andy Bogard, Mai Shiranui and Angel, these three are a favorites that you didn't made a video about them and I love to see it happening. Shoryu Ten videos: Best characters with no superpowers, like you did with the best fire users. Best stages in KOF ( that would be cool) Best special ( or super) moves in KOF. I hope to like this suggestions and keep it up.

Love your work mate; keep it up!.

Rock's Skilles Are a Mix's Of Geese And Terry That Is a ⭐good⭐ Combination

And here we are with City of the Wolves coming next year. What a time to be alive !

My favorite SNK fighting game of all time!!!! Polished, balance and fun to play

Fantastic video, I think the depth and strength of the narrative of this game directly contributes to the gameplay and mechanics. It’s almost as though the developers had a clear purpose behind the design decisions. This could be a Netflix series!

Thank you for making this :)

The story continues, early 2025 😎

amazing work bro ! cheers from Algeria !

I guess played Mark of The Wolves in my Pandora Box, what a coincidence. great video once again, hopefully you’ll continue this streak of good content, and stay safe. :)

People doesn't know this but the Maximum Impact series take place in the Fatal Fury timeline. I think before the events of Garou. Maximum Impact had an animated series called KOF Another Day In episode 2, Rock dreamt about he fighting Terry and the fight ended up with Rock falling to his doom and Terry failed to save him, kinda like Geese's death. Maybe that was direction the developers wanted. Maybe Rock was going to become like his father? It was destiny? We will never know.

@ShoryuGame Yet another awesome video! Keep em' coming! 👍

awesome video...like always

Another great video! Keep up the good work :)

16:08 Until now. A new Garou/Fatal Fury game is green-lit.

You were sort of correct at the start there, Fatal Fury did come after Art of Fighting in chronological order, though the first Art of Fighting game was released a year after the firs Fatal Fury game, confusing I know. There probably wound have been a Garou: Mark of the Wolves 2 if SNK did not go bankrupt in 2000, but still a potential sequel could be made in the future, due to the success of some of SNK's recent titles for modern consoles.

INDEED, this was an interesting, AMAZING game. Terry and Rock are two of my MOST favorite fighters from this. Liked and enjoyed another REAL AWESOME lore vid.

Came back after the Garou teaser. Way to predict the future

16:07 it still hurts man. That game would of been sick i can tell. Gato's father was gonna be playable!

i love your videos bro ❤❤❤

In the garou 2 sprites it looks like joes student and someone who may be related to yamazaki is there. I hope they make it into a later installment.

I want soo bad SNK to make a sequel to this MASTERPIECE, I not kidding when I say, Garou it deserve to be in the pantheon of greatest Fighting games ever made, and one of the best sequels or last entry in any series of FG made. The way Garou use their characters and their connections to previous Art of Fighting and Fatal Fury characters is amazing, it pull what STREET FIGHTER III wanted to do but done RIGHT, the issue many of us had with SFIII when first shows up was that there was not a single previous world warrior, but Ken and Ryu, but worse non of the new generations fighters was related in anyway with any of the previous characters (maybe Yun and Yang), and even if their style was nothing like any SF character before.....Garou didn't go that way, many characters are connected to previous fighters in story and in some style, the sons if Kim, the student of Andy, the new Lone Wolf student of Terry, the Karate disciple o Ryo, and then the new comers where so cool and awesome, my favorite been Hotaru....the cutest Fighting game character EVER. Man I hope SNK just listen to their fans, this and Last Blade are 2 franchise they NEED TO BRING BACK.

Thanks For The Story Man Love You

I love this channel

It would be cool if we get a backstory of Alba Meira and Maximum Impact like this !!!

I use Freeman a lot in this game. Thanks for the video🔥

Garou 2 : HD 2D sprites with the same combat. That's all we need, easy money SNK.

Hey boys, we're green lit for a sequel now! I can't freaking wait. And I can't wait to watch your video on it!

I know this video has been 1 year but it's gonna be mark of the wolf 2

Yo, they've GOTTA continue this story before I die. I really wanna know what's gonna happen to Rock, hopefully he won't turn evil but that doesn't seem to be the case judging by the ending.

It was great to beat the game. I played it at an arcarde a couple years ago in Northern KY with Khushnood Butt. Very fun game.

I would love to see a sequel from SNK for this game. Also you did mention before there is Joe's disciple there as well which I am very curious about as well.
