"Oh no, Shingo..." Accidentally get's one of the best strikers in the game

Fun Fact, notice how the NESTS bosses ascend in power *Krizalid* : you fight him underground *Clone* *Zero* : you fight him on the surface *Original* *Zero* : you fight him in the sky *Igniz* : you fight him in space

Wubba wubba, i'm in the grave today!

Everyone: “RUN! Let’s get outta here” Terry: ...”guess I’ll die”

KOF 99 - The game where Terry _dies_ but then he's just fine

Krizalid...I like his design, his theme, and how he fights, but I HATE fighting him! The counter of him lifting your helpless body up with his leg is so humiliating! And the constant grin on his face doesn't help either. I do hope he returns in XV though.

The music in this game is soooo good, and though it's not the most polished entry, 99 is my favourite KoF game. The K' Sewer stage is iconic. Hearing that theme along with it! 🤩 Also RIP Terry 😂

I was waiting for Krizalid to do his desperation super that takes like 2/3 of your health out. The supers in this game are really awesomely animated and good.

Max cut the part where Terry came back from the dead in the end of the credits

The NESTS saga is where the lol-so-memetastic bad translation starts to become a problem. The storylines start getting much more elaborate, and the bad translation can make it damn near impossible to follow. If anyone wants to make sense of the NESTS saga for themselves, I'd recommend ShoryuGame's channel (though the dude's heavy accent can be hard to understand at times). He does great videos explaining KOF's elaborate lore.

Max: Very weird plan DOA Tech: looks away

6:02 "And for Blue Mary, I leave... a boot to the head"

Wubba wubba, no more pink today , boys... : (

yo Max, you cut the after credits scene where Terry comes back :(

My favorite KOF from when I was a kid! Played this back in the Bronx at the arcade religiously with my buddies

Mechanical Bless ~ Dear Fallen Angel (Arranged) has to be not only my favorite track from The King of Fighters '99, but my favorite song from the entire series. Also, it's funny how Terry kills himself in the bad ending for the Fatal Fury Team in this game, yet SNK initially planned to truly kill him off in The King of Fighters 2000. Thank goodness they decided against it. Don't know what we'd do without everyone's favorite Legendary Wolf of Southtown.

9:30 The airport stage will always be beautiful.

Fool, Krizalid is the most stylish boss in KOF and his coat is awesome!

It's no fluke he's playing every kof, terry's here every year

We were so close to a canon team. At least we got the ending.

'99 has the best stages in the KoF series, and maybe the best stage background of any 2D fighter. Love these stages, some of my absolute favorites of SNK's amazing library of work.

FINALLY. After God knows how many years Max finally chose a team that gave him a proper team ending and not a generic (usually bad) one.

Now for King of Fighters '99! This is the beginning of a new Saga, the NESTS Saga (and this game is my favorite of the NESTS Saga)... Even though this is my favorite Saga thus far (I'm a sci-fi guy lol Why do you think I have Bass.EXE as my current avatar?), this is also the most confusing one due to it being handled weirdly at the end. I doubt I can make things clearer, but I'll do my best! T^T ALSO KRIZALID IS THE BEST!! HOW DARE HE DISS KRIZALID!?!! "Konna hazu wa...!" ("How could this be...!") - The Fatal Fury Team's theme is a remix of Terry's theme from Wild Ambition! I LOVE this theme! This song kind of gets a "sequel" in 2000. - When choosing the roster, Rick Strowd and Li Xiangfei from Real Bout 2 were considered... However, Xiangfei was chosen over Rick, and Vanessa would pretty much take his place, even "stealing" some of his moves. Oh well... At least Rick's theme, Exceed the Limit, was sick af. - Due to this Saga's mood and tone, the game makes sure to let you know that. Everything is more...techno based! This is one of the few KOF games where I love EVERY TEAM'S theme song. A lot of people compare these songs to Mega Man or Sonic the Hedgehog levels, and they aren't wrong! Listen to the freakin' Psycho Solider Team's theme! Straight out of Sonic Heroes / Advance 3! Listen to the Woman Fighters Theme! Listen to the Korean Team Theme! LISTEN TO KRIZALID'S THEMES (especially the arranged versions)!!! EEEE!!! - To spruce up the gameplay a bit, Strikers were added. The Striker system was alright in this game, but got better in 2000 and 2001. Unlike 2000 and 2001, you can only call in your Strikers while on the ground and practically standing still. T~T 2000 and onward let you do it practically any time, even while punching your opponent! It set up some nice combos! - Kyo and Iori were originally going to be taken from the roster ENTIRELY. But SNK figured this decision would piss off fans so they decided to add them in as secret unlockable characters that you get by fighting the secret final bosses. However, we have the two Kyo clones: Kyo-1, who's based on the '94-'95 moveset, and Kyo-2, who's based on the '96-'97 moveset. (NOTE: Kusanagi, who debuts in 2002, is actually not a NESTS Clone of Kyo, and would later be known as a clone of Kyo made by Chizuru's mirror powers. He's not even evil, just real feisty and high-spirited) - Kyo was kidnapped after he defeated Orochi in '97 and he's been missing ever since (for 2 years, he's been gone). NESTS took his DNA in hopes of giving others the Kusanagi Flame and creating numerous Kyo clones. At some point, Kyo escaped. Iori has been searching for Kyo because... Well, he hates Kyo. And needless to say, Iori is pissed at the clones here. Benimaru and Shingo team up in this year's KOF in hopes of finding Kyo, and they are teaming up with newcomers K' and Maxima. - The protagonist of this Saga is none other than K' (pronounced K-Dash). He was kidnapped by the NESTS Cartel, had his memories stolen and given Kyo's DNA. He's one of the few who can control the flames but he has to use a special glove to control them. K' and his partner Maxima team up with Benimaru and Shingo as per NESTS' orders and the plan was to have them advance all the way to the finals to meet Krizalid where he would use their battle data to activate the Kyo Clones he had ready in order to create a simultaneous attack on the world... Believe it or not, Kyo's flames are really dangerous and he doesn't usually go all out. In the hands of evil, they can be deadly! Anyhow, K' is tricked into believing that he was Krizalid's clone and like K', Krizalid has the Kusanagi Flame. HOWEVER, it turns out that Krizalid is K's clone, and not the other way around. The Hero Team reunites with Kyo but they are separated by the collapsing base and the arrival of the Ikari Warriors' squad. The mysterious voice ((Clone) Zero, as seen in KOF 2000) kills Krizalid and taunts our protagonists. With all of these crazy ongoings, K' is now rebelling against NESTS as he fights to obtain his memories. - K' and Maxima's designs are based on two characters from The Fallen Angels, Cool and Harry Ness. A character designer of that game, Shin'ichi Morioka, moved to SNK after the game's release and incorporated the designs into K' and Maxima... Though K's hair was REALLY similar to Rock Howard's hair (and Garou came out in 99), so he really freaked out about it. lmao - K' was actually not expected to be popular on release... but that was proven wrong big time! Similar to Iori's debut in '95, K' was HIGHLY well received! He's one of the more popular characters, alongside the Anti-K' character, Kula Diamond (but more on this adorable character in 2000...if he releases the video, because while Max did play this game, he beat it SUPER quick... Then again, this was Level-1, and around this time, being on Level-1 difficulty actually MEANT something). - Whip, one of the newcomers and teammate of the Ikari Team, is actually the clone of K's sister named Seirah. Strangely, Whip has a censored gun attack (K9999 (pronounced "K-Four-Nine", fyi) also has a censored attack in KOF 2001 but enough about him). The theme song called "W.W.III" debuts in this game and is Whip's theme for KOF 14. Fun Factoid: Whip was supposed to debut in '96, but Leona took her place! For '99, Whip was supposed to contrast Leona design wise but "covering up" more... Strange enough, her name is an anagram for "Winnie-the-Pooh". Okay then. lmao - Krizalid is the best. Don't shit talk him! XD He is the clone of K' as NESTS likely sensed that K' would betray them due to what they've done to him. Unlike K', Krizalid has undying loyalty to NESTS but he's actually pretty low-ranking in the cartel (clearly high enough to have a bunch of Kyo Clones at his disposal though). He was tricked into believing that Whip was his sister, but the truth was, she was K's sister. You find this out in the Ikari Team ending where Whip stays behind the crumbling base to see Krizalid before he passes. She decides to leave him to die, but she's found crying by Heidern (even though she keeps a straight face). Krizalid returns in KOF 2001, "revived" in a clone body, but he's only a Striker for the real Zero... But goddamn, he has a sick coat in that game! Anyway, Whip actually kills Krizalid this time with her gun, according to the canon 2001 light novel. However, like many bad guys, it appears that Krizalid has returned from the dead after Verse's demise in KOF 14. Should Verse beat K', his win quote has Krizalid speaking directly to K'... Eerie. - Just like last game, there are Special Edit Teams such as the "All Fatal Fury Team" (simply have 4 characters be Fatal Fury characters... except for the primary Fatal Fury Team of this game... So you can put in Terry, Andy, Joe, and Blue Mary, for example). Playing these Edit Teams unlock special artwork at the end, though this is only for console versions and updated versions, if I'm not mistaken. - KOF 99: Evolution is an update on this game. Krizalid (2nd Phase) is playable in this version. This game has an arranged OST, 3D Stages, BRAND NEW Stages, and, most importantly, this game has EXTRA STRIKERS and as the name implies, they are only Striker characters and cannot be played normally. Such strikers includes Fio Germi from Metal Slug (best girl), Goro Daimon (who's actually absent as a player until 2001), Billy, Yamazaki, Chizuru, Gai Tendo from Buriki One (a successor to AOF), Syo Kirishima (a prototype design of Kyo), Alfred from Real Bout 2, special versions of Kyo and Athena, AND Vannessa & Seth who would debut in 2000! Vanessa and Seth were meant to appear in '99 but time constraints. - Fun Fact: Syo Kirishima shares the same voice actor of Sean from SF3: Third Strike...and he has a voice clip from that game in KOF 99 Evolution! How did SNK get away with that??? - This game's assets were heavily used in the GBA KOF game called "The King of Fighters EX: Neo Blood". Yeah, didn't know that there were KOF games for the GBA did you~? Interestingly enough, the EX series is a branching timeline. The NESTS Saga just...never happened! Instead of Kyo being captured at the end of '97 by NESTS, he was found by a character exclusive to the EX series named Moe Habana. But K' and Maxima still appear as hidden strikers alongside Vanessa and Yamazaki. The Final Boss of this game is Geese Howard, no one special here. Another interesting detail is despite this game clearly being based on '99, almost all the character/team themes are based off the ones found in KOF 2000. And that was KOF '99~ ...As you can see, I love '99~ (And no, it's not because I was born in 1999) Got any questions on this Saga, feel free to ask or whatever~ TwT

"WEIRD CRAZY SQUID BIRDMAN" - Max 2019

I LOVE THIS GAME. This was my first KOF and my first fighting game. So much memories..

the shadow of a man chasing a dog... in front of a place of Chinese food... Hmmm....

This games stages and the music.....makes me feel like home because me and my cousin used to play it so much

Haha lmao. I CAN'T WAIT till Max fights Igniz. Holy shit, that guy was a nightmare (geese)

and here I thought it will end with a generic ending because of Shingo, glad I was wrong

FINALLY. The game that started my career in KOF after playing CVS and early Fatal Fury games. This was my first introduction to KOF after playing Art of Fighting and Fatal Fury 1 & 2 and much later playing CVS 2. (Note: I never knew AOF and FF took place in the same universe; my mind was blown when I found out that both series and KOF were all connected).

Everyone: We gotta get out of here before the building comes down! Terry: No I don't think I will...

Terry: "Wubba Wubba. I'm in the pink tod....wait what's that above me? FUUUUUU-"

So early, the title is Garou: King of Fighters '99

Sad that Max didn't get to fight the secret boss of this game. NESTS Kyo.

The move Krizalid does with his leg to throw you isn't a counter, it's a command grab, and yes it is a very cheap move lol

Wubba wubba! I'm in the rubble today, boy!" -Terry Bogard (1999)

I like Kof 99 it ain't weird. I mean the only thing that is still some what confusing is the back-dash and moving foward at the same time. The music is amazing, and can't wait towards 00, 01, and 02. Also Max, Terry ain't dead, he just decided to just chill there for a bit and left doing he's own thing. Also would've been cool if Max, had enough points to fight against Iori or Kyo with their sick themes. Tears is still the best, it's sad and sick.

How can you call Krizalid lame, when his theme song is so BADASS!?

26:53 Mai just rolls in, calls him a b!tch, and then peaces out

I miss Krizalid Easily one of my favs NESTS, along with O. Zero.

Krazilid may be stupid looking but his final battle theme (Dear Falling Angel) bumpin'.

Good to see Max going through the same I went when I was a teenager. Krizalid surprise, weird endings and hitboxes and everything.

Shingo has become the random jobber enemy that gets a surprise redemption in a later arc

HERES my first ever KoF! nostalgia

Very fun to watch. I would love to see someone do this type of a play through of something like last blade or some of the older samshos.

Krizalid went out the Ceasar Zeppeli way,

As someone who grew up and only saw the KOF series as "Not Street Fighter" Im really enjoying these videos and really enjoying getting to now some of the KOF lore Thanks Max! Also I love how much they were experimental with the franchise with each iteration

I Played the Dreamcast version of this game until my fingers almost bled lol

looks like he finally discovered that if u play with the full team you get their ending

I thought Krizalid looked awesome! well, more so with his coat

According to the Wiki, Krizalid is Irish.

The ending "Can't believe it! Wubba wubba!" 😂😂

The best kof!!!! I remember playing with K for the first time. I was hooked, and the ost omg!!!!😃

It feels really weird looking at Mai in a regular turtle neck sweater during the ending.

Ngl i like Xiangfei and her goofy taunt

Krizalid is actually my favorite KoF boss design. Especially with his badass coat.

20:58 even KoF jointed the Bring Back Killer Instinct campaign!

This was the first KOF game I ever played/owned. I bought this after I got CVS2. Saw it in Software Etc and was like "Wow! This game has all those characters from CVS2!!" Fell in love with the series from here. Eventually found a copy of KOF95 at Software Etc a few years later and then got all the collections in ps2.

So, in this Terry Legacy videos so far: Max playing Fatal Fury games: I like that! Max playing KOFs games: Pisses me off!

I think _KoF '99_ was the first console _KoF_ I played after _'98_ in the arcades; I loved the color edit mode.

Krizalid is my favorite boss from KOF

KoF 99 A.k.a. the birth of the Edgelords

I had this on PS1, the load times were unbearable.

11:08 The music for that plane stage is nice.😃

Mai's assist can be summarized as She comes. She does nothing. *SHE LEAVES.*

This Terry Legacy is making me sooo happy, Max. :)

KOF brings back some great college era memories! I am really looking forward to KOF 15 next year! 👍

Okay this is the 1st time I've seen someone struggle with Krizalid with his coat on. He must of heard Max taking crap about him and figured he show no mercy with or without the coat on.

"Wubba wubba, I'm in the dirt today."

17:50 "Omega Kyo" Krizalid.

''Okay I get it, I understand'' 😂😂😂😂😂

I’ve been waiting for the NESTS bosses and I am not disappointed about what I have witnessed. Krizalid needs to be in KOF 15.

That Shingo YEET will keep me awake for many nights.

Terry was just tired. Bro was like "We run everywhere! What are we, anime characters!?"

The NESTS saga begins,let's se if he's gonna survive against Zero Clone and Original,and finally Ignis. And Ash saga Mukai can be cheap but nothing compared to the ultimate SNK boss syndrome: Magaki.

Love this game so much

I played this a lot with my little brother, great times.😁👍🏾

Its kinda crazy watching you play through a big part of my childhood...and of course I picked Terry, he's my favorite FG character.

"Krizalid is so cheap" Can't wait til you fight Magaki, lel

Aww, I really like Krizalid :( Then again KOF99 was my first game in the series

I like the NESTS saga a bit better than the Orochi saga. That's just me.

Terry is alive in the end. After all the long credits, it shows him beating up a big guy or something and a kid admiring how strong he is

99 is such a dope kof. It has flaws, when it comes to inputs. But it easily has my favorite boss, music and roster. Also for terry if i recall, the shoulder and the dunk actually have to be put in together. Like a combo input to get them to work.

Getting "Superman tossed" by a guy named Clark? Seems inspired.

The explosion actually opened a time rift that sent Terry into Smash.

During the Krizalid fight, all I hear is the sound of Sam Fisher turning on his night vision goggles

When Terry does the super super I can hear "over shit..gay, sir!"

I played this game on Dreamcast so much back in the day, good times :)

Hi Max happy halloween. Been loving the Terry legacy keep up the great content.

His theme though🔥🔥🔥

1:01 Max about KOF 99 " damn they got their money's worth with these sprites " snk : literally goes bankrupt the next year

Andy turns Super Saiyan. Maxima gives absolutely no fucks

At around 8:30 the shadow is of a man chasing a dog, presumably the man who works at the Chinese Kitchen.

without a doubt one the best KOF games ever, akuma and robert were my favs

TORNAVEY!!!! that was my guy!!

This game brings back so many memories

This is my personal favorite KOF game. This game got me into KOF Games.

Here's the real Kof '99

you'd think after all these years, max would know everything about the kof lore lol

You needed more battle points at the end.
