I love how they were hyping Justin up at the end and then he gets blown up lmao

We need a re-release with rollback netcode. Also it still looks awesome. EDIT: Gentlemen, we got it!!!

Ya I'll admit, I am surprised how anyone can make it to the Finals by instincts and basic skill like that at all~ especially if they're not even that much of a major player of that game.

J Wong tried to play in street fighter style, that's why he lost badly.

I can't believe this was a decade ago already

those commentators speaking 200 words a minute, ooh if i could only mute them without muting the fight

Reynald SOO good!! 5:02 He baited the hell outta that DP, and destroyed Justin on the punish! Major props.

KoF13 is still an AMAZING game, one of my favourites! And it looks so damn good... All those beautyful and expensive sprite work almost led to SNK's second bankrupcy, that's the reason why they switched to not so intiminating but still good looking 3D models.

Sabin "yo he still has more?" Kyo"I STILL HAVE MORE!!"

Wow, I love watching KoF like he said. "Honest Fighting games." ftw. Lol. None of this one character being so uber you have to pick him or a counter or don't play at a competitive level.

That's true, KoF13 looks pretty intimidating compared to VF. I was able to pick up VF5FS pretty easily but KoF's timing looks really crazy considering how fast the game is.

I love this game, I play it almost every day.

He went in to that tourney with only 2 weeks of experience of KOFXIII. He played old school KOF where there weren't that many combos.

for me, justin wong, is one of the few gamers who are good at playing more than one game. An example are the titles he has won in SSFIV, MVC2, MVC3 ... etc. .. but you have to give merit! was defeated by .. .. as for my point and seen, is the best Saiki .. Reinald .. definitely is a master in the kof .. but for me this was the first time I see Justin play KOF .. and I think that will be the last ... XD ..

I enjoy the commentators' enthusiasm, but it's distracting trying to follow what they're saying. They're all over the place.

always thought the high damage combos make sense just like they do in MVC3. You get 3 characters Your meter carries over to the other characters. If you lose the first round you technically have a advantage in the second if your opponent used meter to finish you off. As the commentators say, if you drop a combo you lose all your meter. 1 bar hypers really don't do a whole lot of damage. Your better off saving meter for that big combo, IF you can pull it off. High Risk / Reward

Last Round: Reynald is about to blow Justin up Jesus, he literally blew him up

awesome match

Seeing Art get hyped for Kof13 sure feels nostalgic. He never plays it.

Justin Wong's face at the end was priceless. MAD SALTY Lmao.

DAMN WTF?! I look away for a second in the last match and Kyo won. DAMNNN!

Justin made it to a Winners Finals in KOF?

What about that 2:24 , 5:00 and 9:15

Muito bom jogo os melhores top😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

@polarity55 HD bar gives you an overwhelming advantage regardless of your position, very hard is very relative when some characters get near 80% with little to no meter though the meter just makes it easier. HD bar also refreshes increasing the chance of getting to use it twice, and effort is equally relative since the mix up game is very different in both games. They're both powerful mechanics, and while HD is certainly more balanced of the two it is by no means good.

hats off to Justin though. Not having much knowledge in the game still did pretty good.

That Kyo is A-W-E-S-O-M-E, really the best I've seen in years! No chance in hell for Justin, who saw the MAX CANCEL coming @9:28?

Reynald is so freaking sick!

Sick finish at 2:48!

@mrbignerd Needs more thumbs up. Everything this man said is true.

How did Justin wong make it to the finals

i've never seen this game b4 i just wanna see how good justin is at it

9:16 that round was absurd, one anti air, overhead into combo, 85% damage... Kyo was at a singleplayer mode at that point

2:45 EPIC finish!

I subscribed this channel just because this match.

Hope they make a KOF with hd sprites someday.

The game looks fun! Very different to see it from lame gameplay videos to a TOURNAMENT with good players! Now I'm interested in it :)

Am i the only one that doesn't like watching full matches without commentators? They make it more enjoyable.

I think Reynald spent months to learn combos with Mai just so he had a reason to pick her for other than the obvious xD

seriously how dope this game? Just got it a few months ago and it's my fav fighting game ever (besides Guilty Gear). So fun, so deep, with great graphics and a sense of humor.

really the guy made plenty of comebacks he may not be that great in kof13 but he is a legend in mvc and street fighter for sure

Your're right Final Showdown is awesome and all, but I found it much harder in kof to grasp all of the mechanics and sub-systems; probably because the last snk game I played was fatal fury 2 on the genesis

that's in accurate kof 94 to 98 were on the ps1, 99 to kof 11 were on the ps2 and 12 and 13 on the 360, but i must say these new versions 12 and 13 are much easier to play as oppose to the old version and should probably get them

FGC tournament video should implement dual audio one without the commentary would be nice

Long live kof. Reynald is the man, and it shows the skill gap between legacy fighting games and more simple games like sf. Sf is still dope it’s just not as satisfying imo

KOF is a Combo game ,this is why that is more difficult than street fighter.Also play KOF must to use Rocker pad because wrist is easier than thumb to make combos.

It IS true the game DOES hold him back If he were to play this seriously, his combos would be sick NASTY I'm more than sure he would choose Kyo as one of his team, if he were to play

Game doesn't compare to many previous KOF titles. Great match all the same!!

ajajjaa justin..return to UMVC3, kof it's not for you xD

good job justin greetings from tijuana baja california

Go to play SSF IV Justin... is the only of you can do..

Kula: Dammit Wong. I haven't suffer this naby DM's subce KOF 2000. Serious note, both players were good.

@mrbignerd I fell ya all day... I'm a huge KOF fan and I am a top 20 tourny player and seeing this makes me fell all fuzzy inside 4real. True combo expertise and skill indeed. NO BULLSHIT!!!! P.S luv Ash and Leona in this game... hell I play everyone or at least try 2 X3 NEST Kyo 4 life

Kyo last combo is just pure baddass. Reynald is really a skilled KOF player indeed.

These dudes are clearly on two different levels of play... Reynald is obviously the better player hands down.

Listen carefully... 0:49 - 1:17 So I answered my own question. The dude plays practice mode. So ppl are hating that practice mode + experience = almost winning a major, I guess? Just think about that, ya'll and stop hating.

I WISH THIS HYPE APPLIES ONLINE. been a fan of every single KOF but the online experience just breaks my heart

This game is fantastic. Nice to see Justin Wong doing well on this.

@Juggernaut2k12 Justin has strong fundamentals, not to mention he has played earlier KOFs.

@raxzar yes but KoF had rolling and dashing.I love running around the place but in terms of solid gameplay I do feel 3rd Strike was the best.

ya ya ya

@SDSOverfiend He hasnt even been playing the game all the long. It's an accomplisment he made it that far, shows his prowess for fighting games. He's good, and he'll be better when he gets a hold of the combos.

agreed vf5 is the most gentlementlike game out there haha its super balanced and no ultra or x factor nonsense... you want a comeback you hit the other guy back

Everytime i watch KOF commentary the commentators hardly talk about the fight

@TempestDacine Do you have ANY idea how hard it is to pull of a combo like this? You act as if you can derp your opponent to death like with X-Factor.

This game needs a real port to PC, with good netcode and in Steam it would be one of the most bought games

So I'm assuming Justin dropped this game after EVO 2011? I didn't seem him playing it this year.

Most rewarding game I have ever played........skills-wise

This is exactly true. KOF has never been big in the US. It's always been extremely niche. This is likely due to the fact that arcades were already weak in the 90's and SNK never produced ports of KOF to the SNES like Capcom did with SF2. Hell, there wasn't even a KOF on Playstation 1.

protip: there is a little volume thing next to the pause/play button. if you press it, the sound becomes muted.

Oh hell yeah KOF for the KOF gods

@9:23 Superb combo by Kyo!

You don't have to put down other games to state that KOF's gameplay is great.

@Renrussian Of course I do, that doesn't matter at a competitive level. Maybe if everyone was as good as me (as in not very) the skill level of these combos would make a huge difference, but it's largely irrelevant to how balanced the mechanic is in tournament play. We both know X-factor gives powerful benefits to noobs and pros alike, but just because HD mode doesn't give noobs an instant win doesn't make it balanced either. Did you not read what I posted earlier?

That was an awesome match right there.

10 second rounds are awesome

99 was on PS1 and Dreamcast the Dreamcast version had Vanessa only as an striker xD

not trying to hate on SF but this KoF has more style to it.Well the entire series does.KoF always had better movement than SF and when they introduced Super Cancel in to Dream Cancel well...I still think that trumps Super Cancel in to Ultra.My 1 regret is...I can't find this game!! its the only one I'm missing!!!

Love this game but I hate the single combo kills that Hyperdrive cancels allow. Still the best KOF we've got in a while though.

@WheelsNReels no i have, its like a kids game but easier.

Could anyone tell me all about the KOFXIII game derby? I love the game,but I only know EVO,and I wanna watch more and more video.

excellent playing from both players amazing combo Kyo =)

Well, tomorrow I'm going to next next level and buying this game. Arturo told me to

Now this game right here is AMAZING, right up there with 3rd Strike. I just REALLY hope SNK doesn't release a new KOF title soon, it'll ruin the potential of this game that has so much to offer. This KOF release feels like a Street Fighter 2 in the sense that if it stands alone for another year it'll grow more and more. I also believe that this title could possibly become more popular than SUPER Street Fighter 4.

One video isn't indicative of them all, there are plenty of KOF tournaments with great "play-by-play" commentary going on.

I love how people are talking mad shit on justin for losing here, even though he made it all the way to winners finals.

yes, i think so

Steve Buscemi behind Justin, haha.

I missed this on stream, Thanks Sp00ky

@Archdukejames they took out kof 99 for the ps1 don't know wat year though

Estos si son combos y no pendejadas de maquinitas!!! Felicidades Pinche PAQUIAO que los videojuegos XD

I say EVERYONE in Garou should be here

Reminds me of all the times I got bodied by Reynald like this at Arcade Infinity.

so idk anything bout this game, but are those corner combos infinites? or is the defending players failing to do something?

no .. coz its so hard to land combos in this game that if they had included breakers .. it would frustrating for combo users - I think its a good think

still 2002 and 2002um the best

at top level most fighting games are very similar

@UberBlackMan You know it bro, been with KOF since 1998. So many people just stick to street fighter. They gotta branch out.

Reynald is a monster!!! AWESOME MOVES!!!!

I think it's a little curious to play with Saiki in terms of design as a boss and has superior features or let the other characters I think it's unequal fight uan uan only good opion noo kofers
