Athena (12:34) is older than King of Fighters itself. She has her own arcade game, which is also named Athena, and was released in 1986. EDIT: I should mention that the game Psycho Soldier, which came out after the original Athena, had the first appearance of this modern version of the character. And she sings an adorable song in it.

@9:50 it’s a technique called Finger Tutting.

12:15: Classic song, man. =) Never noted who sang it, and there are more than one version, but found out it's Huey Lewis.

KoF is a mashup of different SNK games characters. Think of it as Smash Bros (mashup of Nintendo characters) but Street Fighter style. Not all the fighters are from their respected series or games. Kyo Kusanagi was created specifically as a KoF character (1994). Meanwhile Terry Bogard is the mascot of SNK (much like Ryu is the mascot of Capcom) from Fatal Fury (1991). Most of the KoF games has you fighting in a team of 3 (later on 4 but then 3 again). Funny that you mentioned how K' reminded of you of Dante, because he's sort of meant to be a bit like Dante. K' was designed to be like this anti Kyo Kusanagi, and has Kyo's DNA in him. He can only control fire from his right hand and has to wear a specialized red glove to control it. Also his fighting style is Pure Violence. Shiranui Mai (fighter with huge boobers) is dressed that way to distract her opponents (much like she distracted both you and Bethany). There's a lot of games from this series and each have their own saga (Pre Orochi, Orochi saga, NESTS Chronicles, Tales of Ash, and now Shun'ei saga) from 94' to 2022 (XV) with Kof 13 (2010) being the best. 14 wanted to do what all fighting games were doing at the time, (Street Fighter, Marvel vs Capcom, Mortal Kombat) going from 2d sprites to 3d models. This game got mixed reviews as they made the characters older and gave them new looks, while some were left the same. Also this is a Playstation and PC exclusive which sucks. Anyways KoF XV is set to release on February with many fighters returning such as Shun'ei (wears the headphones and has the red and blue hands) and Maitenkun (sleepy boi).

A lot of the Characters in this game have there own series. The KOF games are bloody awesome. The Guy you called Striker, is actually a Military man who has a Fondness for wrestling. That's why he did the Finger Point and grapples. Him, Ralf ( the one you called Rambo ) and Leona are the Ikari warriors from an Golden Oldei series called Metal Slug.

yo, it's kof! been a fan of the series since I was a kid in the mid-90s my team usually has Iori, Leona, Yamazaki, and Whip also love your expressions at Luong's "dirty" SDM ;) oh and this series is THICK on lore, but I'm afraid to say I've not found any definitive videos to recommend yet

Awesome. Super happy that this won the Patreon poll. Also glad that you guys caught little details in some of the supers like the skulls that come out for Mature & Vice, and of course the motorboat for Angel. Can't wait to see what fighting game stuff you guys check out next!

Clark Still in "King of Fighters" is actually meant to be an Inspiration of Characters played by *Arnold Schwarzenegger* from Hollywood Classics like "Commando" and "Predator" Films, But you did got Right about his Bro Ralf Jones who was Inspired by "John Rambo" played by *Sylvester Stallone.*

I would like them to react to the (PS4) Samurai Showdown Special Moves, they have a very beautiful level of art and they are brutal. PD: I really like your videos. PS 2: The creators of The King Of Fighters also created Samurai Showdown.

Honestly while I haven't really cared about KoF before this I am rather hyped for KoF15. And it even comes out during my bday month! So it's something for me to look forward to.

As a 38 yo brazilian who plays KOF (starting from 94 version) and SNK games since my childhood is really weird to see people reacting to the franchise in 2021... but maybe some fresh blood is a good thing to SNK if they buy your stuff from now.

8:48 Mai wasn't added to the background of Terry's stage in Super Smash Bros Ultimate because of how "animated" she was. Masahiro Sakurai (Smash's director)'s English translator said "Super Smash Bros Ultimate is for good boys and girls of many different ages," but the real reason was to prevent the game's age rating from going up, as it was difficult to censor her without doing so or making drastic changes. She's pretty much SNK's Chun-Li.

15:04: This guy sure got the "balls" to fight. ^_^;

happyyy 100k and happy new year goood job and ill alway love watching yall :)also i gotta start watching the gaming videos see how yall doo😂

6:24 best moment 🤣

Watching the fights is better than watching the special moves. Being able to chain the movements is the interesting thing about KOF. Happy new year!! 🥳

Found your account a few hours ago and have been watching your videos since, very wholesome pair with great videos too

King of Fighters is one of the most story driven Fighting game franchises ever made.

Hope you guys had an awesome Christmas! Love from the UK x

I love your reactions, i would like if you can reacts to Jump Force ultimate attacks, they are awesome!

I'm glad you guys reacted to this. This fighting game is one of my favorites ones so far.

I love the KOF series since 1994 it holds a special place for me interesting characters and fighting styles and stages a true gem

9:55 Ninja Hand Seals it varies they're usage from medium to medium, but they are essentially done to perform superhuman feats and in some cases enhance one's concentration and focus. In Naruto hand seals are used to evoke different elemental attacks as certain hand seals are associated to different elements. Hand seals, in mythology, grants the ninja various powers including the ability to turn invisible, summon familiars, predicting danger, and various other powers. Again though this is mythology so not sure what they are used for by actual shinobi. Edit: Yes KOF has a very big story mode and it goes into multiple Saga's so if you want to learn more about I'd watch some lore videos because there are also character personal stories to this as well.

And happy new years people....keep up the videos and lots of love and happiness to you 2

Bethany saying boobs don't swing like that had me rolling🤣 And as for our Butler, I always imagine him saying something like "you'll always remain a loser" 🤣

Happy New Year! Have been really enjoying the channel for a while now, keep up the good content! recommendations for stuff to watch, have mentioned before but would interested in you both reacting to; 'War Thunder Direct Hit Teaser Trailer' and War Thunder Ground Breaking Teaser Trailer' I really enjoyed your other War Thunder reaction!

Super cool you two reacted to this. Vice, Mature and King were my go to picks (love seeing badass women in sharp suits.) If you want to see some crazy super moves, Guilty Gear Xrd: REV 2 overdrives and Instant kills are nutty!

I posted this LONG paragraph thanking you guys for this, saying how I've been a fan of SNK games since 1990 when I was 10 years old, how many good fighting games they've made that people who aren't REALLY into fighting games don't really know about them compared to Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Tekken, etc, and also wished you guys a happy new year from South Africa, but KZfaq removed the comment for some reason 😡 Anyway, thanks for always doing these cool videos. Many blessings to you guys 🙏

You should definitely check out Guilty Gear or the Naruto Storm series if you like the flashy moves. They're known for them

Kind of late, but what sets KOF apart from other games aside from the team system is that it has an actual narrative behind the series depending on where you start. They did this way before any other fighting games got serious with their lore. There's even a whole list of KoF games to know which ones are canon, which ones aren't, and which ones are spin-offs. I'll just leave a list here if you're unsure of which arc to go with. (This is all from the SNK Wiki) Prologue KoF '94 The Orochi Saga KoF 95' - KoF 97' The NEST Chronicles KoF 99' - KoF 2001 Tales of Ash KoF 2003 KoF XI (11) KoF XIII (13) The Shu'ei Saga (Where we are now) KoF 14 KoF 15 The ones I didn't list are the KoF Dream Matches. Dream Matches is basically non-canon versions of the games that bring back all characters (killed or otherwise) back into the roster for one big game. The Orochi Saga KoF 98' The NEST Chronicles KoF 2002 Tales of Ash KoF XII (12) If any interest you (or anyone reading this comment), you can probably find them on the Playstation Store or maybe Steam (I don't know about Xbox) and they don't cost all much... but you have to buy them separately... and fair warning, the final bosses of these games are painfully hard...They are the reason for the term, "SNK Boss Syndrome". (P.S. If you don't wanna go through the whole hassle of playing each game. Maximilian Dood did an entire series where plays as Terry for every KoF and Fatal Fury game. It's a real good start.)

Happy New Year sir and ma'am.. hope you both have a great year and happy life

I can't wait for KOF 15.

Generally most of the story in the series resides in Arcade Mode. However, 15 will be the first one that'll have a legit story. Also, just a lil' fun fact, half of the cast are from existing SNK games that became staple mainstays in the KoF series. For example: Terry Bogard, Andy Bogard (Terry's brother), Joe Higashi, Blue Mary (Terry's wife), Mai (Andy's wife), Yamazaki, and Billy, along with the main antagonist Geese Howard who killed Terry and Andy's father, are from Fatal Fury. And Geese's son Rock Howard, who is under care by his father's assailant, Terry, in a game Garo: Mark of the Wolves. King, Ryo, Yuri, and Robert are from the series Art of Fighting. Athena and Kenrou are from Psycho Solders. Ralf and Clark are from Ikari Warriors. And funny you should say that Ken because you're not wrong. That game was "supposed" to be a game adaptation of Rambo First Blood Part 2, but SNK was unable to acquire the license. And the last 4 characters are crossover characters: Nekoruru from Samurai Shodown and the others are from pachinko games. Mui Mui from Dragon Gal, and Love Heart from a Sky Love, and Alice from Garou Densetsu The Legend of Wild Wolf.

Great vid y’all! Hope you have a good New Years! You should try reacting to samurai showdown super moves! They are pretty brutal

También podrian reaccionar desde KOF '94 a 2003 y XI a XV.

oh glad to see KOF 14) long awaited KOF 15 will be out in 2 months btw

Glad to see you guys checking out King of Fighters. Back when it first came out it was more like an Al Star game before becoming its own thing. Basically Smash Bros before Smash Bros

Love your reaction !!! As for the Super Mover, I highly recommend the KOF XIII (One of the best fighting games in history)

Happy new Year everybody! Keep your great Entertainment. I have found your Channel a Few months ago and really love your style of reacting. You two are such Kind and honest ppl, i Wish you the best for 22! PS.: I Just Love your horror themed vids and found a "All - five nights at freddy - Endings" Video. I am sure, you will Love the twisted and never fully explained Endings you will See their. Keep in mind what the Community told you about the Game and If u dont Understand fully what you see, you know, we dont do either, but its dark, weird, crasy and creepy. Just tell us your own Interpretation. That is my great wish for 2022. xD In Love from Germany.

You should totally watch the Guilty Gear REV 2 insta-kill moves! Very flashy and tons of fun to see them all

Happy new year you guys

happy new year !!

I like the Mexico team of this game, I'm from Mexico, I liked the video, I hope more reactions soon, greetings from Mexico

Confession time: I have never played a single King of Fighters game. Looks fun, though. Couldn't really name a particular favorite Super Move, they were all cool, but I did naturally enjoy the ones involving magic and/or flames the most. Cheers! Also, allow me to repeat a Fight Night Friday recommendation of compilations of all Beast Forms, Ultimates, and Beast Drives from each game in the Bloody Roar franchise. You will enjoy them, I'm sure!😁

8:40 um.... I can confirm that Big ones in an Outfit like that, Do indeed move not just like that, but they move A LOT more. ( especially if there natural ) That is MAI SHIRANUI'S whole Schick. Her Style of Ninjutsu is based on real female Ninja assassination methods. Revealing and seductive approach is to throw off the enemy. Also she is super confident and funny, especially wen it comes to her and Andy ( her self proclaimed fiancé ) poor dood can't catch a break because of her 🤣

Never played any KOF games but it looks fun and interesting.

maybe we can get some skullgirl supers in here? I really like to see my guy Benjamin "Big Band" Birdland in action

Happy New Year guys! 🎉

Yamazaki the fighter dress in black with one hand in his pocket, fights with one hand but uses his other hand or both on some specials and supers

YES KOF!!! Awesome big fans guys!

Japanese games as well as other medias like animes are notorious for being outlandishly pervy. If you want to see more of something like this, check out the Dead or Alive games or the Senran Kagura games. Those 2 franchises are just ridiculous.

Awesome video 👍

Gracias por reaccionar a mi saga favorita. 😎

Finally you get yourself to it!

New apex stories from the outlands coming in a few days definitely do a video on it It's for Bangalore

You guys should react to the character trailers for KOF 15. First game of this franchise was KOF 94. I have been playing this game since I was 8 Like 2007 ish. It has a story mode. and each team has there own ending to the game. there have been 4 main protagonist for this game so far. And King Of Fighters 15 is the first one I think where all of the 4 protagonist and there antagonist are present in this game as playable characters. this is the 4th saga or arc of the series.

Now we're talking~

8:43 Sorry, but Mai's boobs have ALWAYS bounced in EVERY SNK game. She's the first lady of fanservice in fighting games after all.

I would like to know, could you react KOF XIII SPECIAL MOVES? I think, KOF XIII Has Awesome and insane Super Moves

#KOFXV IS COMING OUT IN FEBRUARY 🔥🔥🔥🔥 I'M SO EXCITED

You definitely need to check old Fatal fury supers. Starting from Fatal fury 3 they all have good graphic. Also almost every new Fatal fury part SNK decided to change supers so almost every new game have new supers or remaded old one

Though this game was (graphically) disappointing, it was still hell of fun and the newer faces in this one are pretty cool. I can’t wait for KOF 15 though, that one looks good, all around. Yeah, The King of Fighters have been around since ‘94, I’ve been lucky enough to experience all of them through the years. It’s crazy how long SNK has been apart of me, and others, lives.

I've never played kof before and i just bought this game yesterday and I'm enjoying the game..a bit difficult but fun.

Dragon Ball FighterZ has some amazing super moves as well

These peeps reacting to KoFXV!!??? :D YAAAAAAASSSS!!! [flails arms in Mexican]

11:10 yes ralf and clark are like Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger

Hell yeah

You guys should react to all the King of Fighters XIV character trailers! Here's a playlist with all of them: kzfaq.info/sun/PL9TTFcrA9ahTOxvkzTyU33SVF6EaPFPCh

Good afternoon lovely folks. Has any one requested finishes for Dragonball Fighterz? If not you should have a look. Some finishes are retreated scenes from the actual show which is really cool!!!

Aquí dejo este Link de Kof 2002 Unlimited Match todos los especiales: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jraVm6mlxq3RpGg.html También de KOF 2002: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bNSVoblhmsWrZIE.html

Can recommend you to check out the "This is War" part 1-7 and "This is Bilgewater" by Falconshield. Its like League of Legends thing

I’d love to see you two try Danganronpa someday. It’s from Japan so it’s got Japanese style art and it’s a visual novel, meaning it tells a story using a lot of text-boxes aided with character stills and voice-lines. It’s a little difficult to explain, basically it’s a lot of reading (though it still does have actual gameplay) but it has a fantastic and engrossing story. It has lots of twists and deaths because it is a kind of murder mystery, so it is a game that is very fun to watch people react to. That also means spoilers are plentiful so if you ever plan to play it, be extremely wary online. Anyway, don’t know if it’s your kind of game, but I’d say it’s worth a try and I’d enjoy seeing your reactions to the game.

19:32 Yamazaki hits with a painting of Athena... ª

Hi! Definitely not definitive I'm going to do a little ish list telling you guys my favourite slasher horror movie villains because I've just realized I've told you guys my top three favourite horror movie villains but not all of my favourite horror movie villains are Slasher villains like bendy,pennywise,slenderman etc My top favourite slasher villains Freddy Krueger Jason voorhees Michael myers Ghostface/Billy Loomis Chucky

8:39 Well, shouldn't be surprise to anyone that she's a guest character for Dead of Alive series, which is very famous for this kind of... "design" choices 🤣👍

It would be really cool if you guys could react to Destiny 2: Witch Queen trailers. Love your content!

If you like this one you guys should DEFINITELY check out KOF 13 CLIMAX SUPERS!!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

If y'all every get the chance check out Killer Instinct character trailers.

Please do Dragonball fighter z all finishers next since your doing some fighting games

The super where the old martial artist smashed his opponent by clapping his hands together reminds me of Nero from Hunter Hunter.

Angel always the best

my Favorites were the dinosaur, maxima, sylvie, Blue Mary, olong, iori, terry, athena, mature, heidern, the crazy guy in Black, the butler, the flower lady, card guy and the magic lady at the end 😁😁😁😁😁🤩🤩🤩💎💎💎🌺🌺🌺💖

This is yet another request to check out Devil May Cry 5 special edition trailer(s). They’re super hype and I think you’d get an even bigger kick out of those than the original DMCV trailer.

Since you two reacting to so many different games special movesets & finishers, I think reacting to Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 all ultimate team jutsus should be up next😗

And too power instinct matrimelee all supers, thank you

King of fighter is the best fighting game of all times

Someone have them react to Killer Instinct all ultras.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

So when we getting that ultra street fighter 4 video

He will like Isla.

Podrian reaccionar a los trailers de KOF XV? Son 39 trailers de 1min Empezando por el de Shun ei hasta el de Elisabeth💖

Better than street fighter, incredible

Next is kof 15th all super moves

"Chun Li should go out with that guy" His wife is the "fabric ninja". She might have something to say about that.

I hope you guys don’t get demonetised for this reaction lmao.
