It's crazy that all these years of playing KOF that the true story of the game involved Kyo and Iori. I was satisfied with whooping ass with Kim and them, Fatal Fury and Art of Fighting teams, and the Women's team. It took me to get KOF Orochi Saga on the Nintendo Wii to finally understand the story. SNK does an exceptional job of character development and depth. Excellent Work Nabil.

imagine a SNK Cinematic Universe, starting with Art of Fighting, 2nd movie Fatal Fury, 3rd movie Psycho Warriors, 4th movie Kusanagi. all are interconnected with post credit scene. final movie is The King of Fighters where the big bad is Rugal .... please somebody forward the idea to SNK top heads, hire a good film director like Jon Favrue to kick things start :)

As a long time fan since FF1, AoF, IW, MS, SamSho and KOF94' (yup I have been on this ride since the beginning). This docu-series is fantastic, exploring the mythos, connections, and history. There is so much lore established throughout SNK's history. KOF has evolved, but also the journey of the characters is an amazing one. Even more mature than its competition, then and even now. I always loved the art style, it gave characters their own personality, energy, and vibe throughout. Plus the soundtracks have gone beyond the sound of the NeoGeo, original, arrange, and songs that get stuck in your head.

You missed out that goenitz is the reason when rugal had orochi power in his blood after they had a confrontation hence why rugal lost an eye but didn't die. Out of respect goenitz decided instead of killing him that rugal might be useful so he gave him the power to see if one day has can be a vessel for orochi resurrection :)

Nabil, for cinematic purposes, you could use iori and kyo D-assault super from NGBC (neogeo battle collosioum) which also resemble the canonical way of them killing orochi together (iori choke orochi neck while unleashing his pure yasakani red fire, but in the game it use purple flame sadly xD, and kyo punch iori back with mushiki to enhance both of their fire into a greater explosion)
@ryanm.8720 2 жыл бұрын
The 'Orochi' in NGBC is actually a duplicate of the original Orochi called 'Mizuchi', created by WAREZ (which is led by a mysterious man known as 'Goodman'). While Orochi wants to wipe out humanity in order to protect the planet, Mizuchi is a nihilist who hates life and wants to send everything back to Gaia as soon as possible. As a playable character, he's relatively balanced, but as a boss, he can be described as 'KOF '97 Orochi without the bad a.i., on a turbo, and with enough health to survive a nuclear blast'. If he's the one to defeat Goodman at the end of a 'Story' playthrough, then he'll succeed in his plan to release Orochi into the world again.

The biggest mistake in KOF's story is not allowing Time Travel as a plot element like in NGBC. • It would be easier to allow a Samurai Shodown Team, a Last Blade Team, and even the futuristic Metal Slug Team. • It would be easier to retcon Geese Howard's resurrections, even though he died for good in Real Bout Fatal Fury. • The fighters would be allowed to age realistically throughout every sequel, with their young/past skins being selectable options.
