I love how Oswald's Ultimate is 53 hits, one for the initiation and then 52 cards

When you tell your henchman "Don't betray me.", you've already been set up to be betrayed.

"Don't betray me." Man, I bet Shion must've been like "Well I wasn't going to but now I'm gonna do it out of spite."

We need more classy/gentleman assassins in Fighting Games like Oswald.

I'm already loving seeing Oswald getting the spotlight in that title and intro, he's just awesome. Also loved the introduction of Betty and some of my favorite teams: the unique Fatal Fury team, the -Shingo- Kyo & Iori Team and the Anti-Kyokugenryu Team.

The PS2 game also has tons of characters. There is essentially a whole entire bar the size of the main roster behind the main roster. But you have to unlock them.

This soundtrack slaps like every kof title before it. And Oswald is sick!

KOF XI was such a game changer. The controls felt a little like MVC with the chain combos and I loved how they shook up the flagship teams especially Team Fatal Fury. Terry finally teaming with Kim and Duck King was so fucking dope!

The first KOF to truly shatter expectations. Completely new teams, a few omitted favourites, awesome newcomers, superb guest characters, and a truly fucking awful final boss. The last of a legendary generation.

10:56 ADELHEID! I really hope he comes back in KOF 15.

Oswald is THE best card king there ever was. His gameplay, his style, sense of fashion and his cool shades are SICK !!!! I LOVE Oswald so much lmao 💕 🃏

The Menu style is so aggressively mid-2000's it hurts, i love it

I read once that Oswald was originally going to appear in XII teaming up with Iori and a newcomer before the development of that game started to get complicated. By the time XIII was being developed they essentially replaced him with Vice and Mature coming back, for reasons.

One of my favorite KOF/fg in general: Dope Soundtrack The amazing sub bosses cameos/alternative looks from Buriki One and Kizuna Encounter Garou Oswald Stages Art direction Only thing lacking is a secret boss Mr Karate.

Great game man, another one of my favorites in the series. I spent hours unlocking everyone with my brother on the PS2 version. KOF XI needs to be re-released on current consoles with rollback. It definitely deserves it.

Kinds hilarious to see the contrast of Max's view now compared to when he was first introduced to Oswald in kof14. He has seen the light. His eyes are no longer blinded by hate.

The first thing that seal the deal with oswald being the best is that idle animation, its so slick!

Magaki: You ever wonder what it would be like to play a shmup boss in a fighting game? Everyone who isn't a masochist: No, can't say that I have- Magaki: *WOULD YOU LIKE TO!?*

Oswald is obviously inspired by Hellsing, he constantly turns dark with only his glasses glowing and his tall and skinny frame is a trait of various Hellsing characters, he is a mixture of main character Alucard with the red glasses and calm laugh, Walter C. Dornez old and elegant appearance and Tubalcain Alhambra who fights using poker cards

I LOVE this game, I really hope one day SNK will re-release this with a proper netcode so that everybody can enjoy tag KOF in its infinite glory, the great thing about XI is that it started the trend of giving KOF games proper tutorial missions that actually help you learn the ropes, going through the challenges really helped me out personally.

The animation is so smooth and dynamic, especially with Oswald. And say what you will about the soft pixel art, I thought it looked great.

This KOF is my favourite of them all, the gameplay feels so fluid and fast, and they brought back Eiji Kisaragi. So f**cking cool man

Magaki out here casually turning KOF 11 from a fighting game to a bullet hell.

I hope Oswald and shingo come back as dlc for 15 they are the characters I miss the most from the base roster

This series has so many one-off characters it's incredible. Scratch that, so many characters PERIOD it's incredible.

"They didn't know that we like crispy pixels." [Still plays in blurry mode] YOU'RE KILLIN' ME, DOOD!

Yeah baby 11!!!!! Love this one and was my official introduction to the series. Love the music, the roster, the amount of extra characters to unlock, the fact that tagging is more expanded.........god is this game awesome. Only things that are a little bit off about this one is the fact that some of the challenges were a little bit too difficult at times especially for certain ones where you have to unlock certain characters and fuck Magaki. Other then that, thank god I found a second copy after my original one was scratched to high hell. Easily one of my favorites.

I love the color edit option… but was also disappointed that it didn't really change attack effects; i.e., I changed Ash's flames to be a _particular_ color but his opponents would still become engulfed in green flame. 😔

Oswald’s Badass level is officially over 9000!!

I will never forget the first time I played XI and just randomly picked Oswald I instantly became a fan, sickest idle stance animation I ever seen 😎👍🔥

my favorite KOF game!

It's amazing when your favourite fighting franchise uses your favourite holiday destinations as back drops.

I'll never forget the way this entry says "Perfect"

I feel bad for fans of dope-ass characters like Lin, Shen Woo, Oswald, Foxy, and Adelheid that get the shaft because they came from the era where people had lost interest in fighting games in general, and thus aren't as popular as series mainstays that really aren't all that cool (looking at you, Chang and Choi).

This game brings back memories I worked at the boardwalk in Santa Cruz in the arcade there was the two big screen arcade cabinets were Capcom vs SNK 2 and KOF XI 1st time going up against Magaki I was like wtf?! Working in the arcade saw so many people play saw one guy beat Magaki it was cool

Love this game, my favourite KoF that went away from the 3v3 format. Gameplaywise improved upon 2003 and one of the best in the series imo. Plus the odd yet fitting teams were fun to play like Kyo, Iori & Shingo or Terr, Kim & Duck King & all the crazy sub boss characters.

Ah this takes me back, dad got this for my birthday when I was 9, this and street fighter alpha anthology were my first fighting games. Still love it 10 years later.

Shen Woo is my favourite fighting game character.

For the record, this is my favorite KOF I've ever played.

Love this game! The fact it's the only one not available with today's consoles is a crime! Oswald is cool! Arranged soundtrack SLAPS! Only mistake was putting one setting to arranged in the game settings. Backgrounds changed into 3D and emulation is scuffed rendering it. Put it back to Arcade/2D option to get them sweet pixels. We don't talk about Magaki...

The intros for this legacy are always fire.

Got into KoF through older titles, but XI on PS2 was the first one I owned and dumped ungodly amounts of hours into. So there is definitely bias but with the way it feels, the character selection, unlockables, and multiple modes, XI is for sure my favorite KoF

Im loving these kof videos

Max: Wow, this game's really fun, I really like this game Magaki: *Chuckle* I'm about to end this man's whole fun.

20:06 Royal... FLUSH!!

Let me bring you up to speed on what you don't know Max. See the actual team who fought Shion and Magaki were Kyo, Shingo and Iori, after Magaki dies Iori gets overwhelmed by the riot of the blood and badly injures Kyo and Shingo however after he parts with Shen and Oswald Ash see them and takes the opportunity to steal Ioris sacred treasure the Yasakani magatama. (I know I didn't say anything previously with kof 2003 but Ash did the same thing when he stole Chizuru's mirror treasure) After he made off with it Ash ran into his childhood friend Betty (Elizabeth Blantorche) who was with Duo Lon and Benimaru at the time as Betty wanted to know why Ash was doing all this. Ash didn't say anything and ran off. Hope this fills in some plot gaps.

3:53 the combo before was not _actually_ possible as you used 3 skill stocks in a short amount of time

3:30 a.m. Max drops a video on KoF, me: LET'S GO! *guitar solo intensifies*

All of Oswald's animations are slick, even his STUNNED animation looks cool with the cards falling out of his sleeves.

Hell yeah, Max loved this game. We rejoice XI fans!

That Oswald move that bounces on corner has a follow up when the oponent is exactly passing above him If remember

Kof XI is one of my favs in the entire series the soundtrack i this game is soo good the team combimations were really great and the tag gameplay was really smooth and had a lot of player expression in terms of combos as you can do some crazy shit here and there the throwback to SNK games such as Kizuna Encounter, Garou and Buriki One was a nice touch and Oswald is just dope af Elisabeth was kinda nice too.

So glad he actually enjoyed one. XI was always my favorite growing up. I always wished it would get an official re-release.

oh hell yeah! Oswald was my main in XI. Awesome character and super fun to play.

I wish they could bring back Shion, He's such a cool as character. Simple design and cool fighting style. Here's hoping, If Gesse can come back..

Oswald is the best character in KoF11 hands down

Magaki is really a pain. I remember cheesing him with running and dodging to get close for a grab. Its lame, its boring, but effective. Btw, Oswald is Awesome!

Yeah I was waiting for this game! My fave KoF! ❤

24:15 Magaki: Can’t see me... Shen: CUZ YOU *GONE!!!

man i love the logo for this one

I love the juxtaposition between the Agent's cool-ass team theme song...and goofy Ramon's animations XD

I spent so much time playing this with friends back in highschool. This was the first KOF I really played (besides Maximum Impact) and it's still my favorite. I really would love for SNK to bring back the tag system in the future, even if it's just a seperate mode.

I was looking forward to you trying Oswald!

Definitely digging Oswald's style. Everything he does is so slick.

I’m glad you loved this game as much as some of us have been claiming. It truly is a special kind of KOF. This was a great stream night!

If you revisit this game you can tag during supers and specials too and tag twice too. Command normals normally don't cause enough hitstun

Oh Boy I've Been Waiting For This One 🤣.

I like this game a lot. I was halfway hoping that XV would be a tag fighter but I knew it wouldn’t be

This is my favorite kof

My team is K', Ash, and Gato

8:23 we had the same reaction XD

He’s definitely one of my favorites from this game

NTSC-J PS2 version has a Progressive Mode for EDTV, HDTV and VGA displays, as well as an order select screen more in line with the arcade version. Another way is to play the unlicensed Dreamcast version with a VGA display adapter, but the face buttons cannot be remapped.

These intros have been sick all the way. Nice job whoever did them

come on mon'ami..... oh wait

RIP Oswald, only dlc of 14 who isnt coming back in 15, you were too cool for this game!

I love this game! My second favorite KoF.

KOF with Comic Sans font. Hurt my brain then. Still does now. Helluva game outside of that. Absolutely loved this roster.

Whoevers created Oswald's design must be a genius.

My favorite KOF

probly my fav KoF based on Character choice, Duck King was so much fun

11:03 ahh yess not Rugal but the budget version... Frugal... dun dun duuuuuuun

I wish the final round where Max won against magaki was shown, just because he got out quite some supers and played well!

The combos on this game are the craziest in the series, even the hard shit you can do in 13 or 2002 is not as crazy as the shit you can do in this game.

@5:23 "eat a card, *****"

This is a game I really want to play. Also, Oswald is so amazing!

He should of picked kyo and iori's team. He would at least know what happened to iori's flames. It had more story relevance than Ash team.

Such a great kof

He missed again another important ending in the game with kyo Iori and shingo

This is why Oswald being only in XI and XIV is a crime, he need to return in XV as a DLC again. Just bring him back with Duolon and Shen Woo.

I have this KOF also on PS2. For some reason I can get into it like Info KOF 2003. Still enjoy though

Lots of cool characters in this one.

18:43 CATCH THESE HANDS! XD

XI might be my favorite KOF of all

Oswald is basically a Guilty Gear character in terms of speed in the KOF series. I liked him a lot too.

KOF XI kensou is my favorite version, it’s because he had the dragon soul storyline which was sick. It’s a shame that SNK won’t elaborate more on it bringing it back some how.

It would be cool to see Shen and Yashiro's interactions of he comes to kof xv. Considering their similar fighting style

Ash Crimson in the banner off to the left lookin like Milla Jovovich.

This was my first kof game on ps2

Favorite game from the series..✌️✌️
