"The character who change his fighting styles more than his jacket" Nice hahaha

You may have lacking skills in fighting games, but you sir, are skilled in narrating and making good videos..

"Loveliest, nicest, most considerate human being". I like how when you said that, Yamazaki was practically tearing everyone apart

Is so nice to finally see Mature appreciation in KOF!

The fact he picks Yamazaki and Yashiro as two of his faves makes this man speaking AWESOME. They are some of my favorite characters, Yashiro in first place. Second is Shermie and then Yamazaki in third.

I remember the comment that inspired the idea of this video. Noice!

Kyo cuz I like the sound of “bodiga”

No Player can stand Against "IORI" he is the MAD guy and a heroic Player I seen from my childhood to until now.

i literally only pick characters based on their design/animations bc i cannot win a match against a real person to save my life. i suck at fighting games + i get shaky when playing with real people, but at least i’ll look stylish with whatever moves i do manage to pull off before i am turned to stardust 😪

Kim Kaphwan Is my fav Because of his deadliest combos & strong anti air capabilities Kim is really strong if u can wait for Opportunities & grab them

Most used competitively in series: Iori Chris Yashiro Benimaru K' Daimon King Kyo Kula Robert Favorites: Nameless Kasumi Lin Kyo Mature Geese Adelheid Yamazaki Terry Kula

Robert is my favourite in the entire KOF series. I've liked him ever since I first saw him in Art Of Fighting 2. The guy is so damn stylish and an awesome rich ass kicker! It's kinda strange that he's Italian despite having a Spanish name (lol). But personally I don't mind. He is so cool. With that said what makes him different from Street Fighter's Ken? My team in KOF is Ryo, Robert and Billy.

Can’t wait for KOF 15 news!!! Hopefully it comes soon lol good work btw!

I use K' because he's the coolest and one of the funnest characters to play. Also I saw a cool ass cmv with him that lead me to get '00/'01 + '02/'03 on the ps2

Keep going bro but we need the stroy of L. Geontiz

K', Kyo, Terry and Ryo are my main characters. I pick them the most because I love their respective fighting styles and soundtracks.

My main characters are: 1-Iori yagami: Because he is cool and his fighting style is awosome. 2-thunk Yamazaki: You know it.right? 3-kyo kusanagi: Because of his sick moves in 98.

Mine off the top of my head, and in no particular order: Takuma, Kim, Ralf, Joe, Benimaru, Chang, Geese, Lin, Ash, Tizoc.

I'll play Yamazaki in any game he's in even if I'm trash at Yamazaki. I always enjoy playing Andy because of his high mobility and the fact that he was the one who enabled me to beat Fatal Fury 1 on the arcade. I always have to have myself some Clark time because grappling is always a blast and he makes it even more fun. From there, Billy, Robert, Terry, Ryo, Joe, Ralf, and a constantly ill-fated Geese.

K’, Ralf, and Vanessa were my go to in XI

Yamazaki is so much fun. I always go for the grab super even tho i usually do his snake arm or knife attack by accident. I really hope he comes back in xv(teaming with Billy and Eiji)

Obviously my fav will always be Iori and I never start a team without him. But my all time favorite is Ralf. Back when I was a kid playing KoF in Mexico none stop, I always thought Ralf was Mexican because of his design in the older games but now I know he is American and his design was inspired by Rambo. KoF is literally the only fighting game that has real diverse characters from other countries and ethnicities. Obviously there’s other fighting games like Tekken that have more diversity but KoF was my favorite game at the time.

Leona and mature are my favourites. Beautiful yet beastly They're amazing

King, Mai, Kula, Elisabeth. These beauties are always guaranteed to be in my team, except if I want to experiment. Elisabeth is by far one of my most favorite character and story-wise. Her combos may be bland, but it's easy to understand. Her uppercut can easily punish approaching opponents, and can be easily comboed into a super. Kula takes a while to understand. Her combo potential is high, but needs mastery. Which is what makes her fun! Also, I love ice, soo.. King. I'm sure you explained her too well. Like you said, she's a fantastic zoner, and she's a literal beast in KOF XIII with her insane HD Cancels. She easily punish you with just one "Tornado Kick!" Mai is by far my most favorite. A master trickster. As I jump in the air, people always tend to jump too, so I punish them with "Musasabi No Mai". My favorite move is when she can bounce off the corner, so high that she's off screen. This gives me more opportunities to confuse enemies. But I'm glad I watched this video. I'll make sure to try out some of these, especially Mature since I barely used her.

My first KOF game I played was KOF 96 in the arcade, because I recognized Mr.Big and King from Art of Fighting 2. They were my first picks. Till this day, King has been a better character for me to use.

Ralph, Iori, Kim, Ryo, Mai, Joe, Kensou, Leona, Terry, Mary. I'd say those are my favourite characters. I don't have plaid any KoF more than the 97' when I was a kid. And those are the characters that I liked most back then and the ones that since then I allways have felt more confortable with. Specially Mai in that edition had every type of moves. She was so good. Even today I'd say that 97' Mai is the best of them all... mmm, maybe because I allways compare her newest move sets with that one I don't use her that much today. Well, it is what it is.

When it comes to my main guy in KOF, I always like playing Kensou. This dude has a lot of potential for a comic relief guy. Even if he can or can't use his powers, his moves and fighting style is so cool. He's a lot easy to use for me. The Dragon Spirit seems interesting, and it does need an arc in the series.

I always use the takuma family because they are complete as fighters especially ryo easy to combo and devastating desperate moves

K'Dask is my favorite character but he is so cool

I saw a lot of users that play it with: Ralf, Leona, Chizuru, Chris, Yashiro (Orochi and Regular), Kyo, Iori, King, Benimaru, K' and Whippy in the kof games. Can you do the same but with Samsho characters?

Damn straight Clark is one of the most picked characters. He's my most-used character by far, I just have a massive weakness for how cool he is, as well as the backbreaker.

clark, robert and athena are my favorites no one can beat me with this team.... and love from india

I've noticed that at least in Latin American countries many players use Mary Lee, Angel, Ramon and/or any characters that have some sort of reference to the Hispanic culture. I don't really know what other players from different parts of the world use since it seems like the KOF series is most popular in Latin America. But, other than that good list mate you've earned a subscriber.

K', Kim and Kusanagi are my 3 favorite characters.

This is a great list! Yamazaki is probably one of the most unique characters I have seen in a fighting game, then again, I suck in fighting games, so what do I know? He can grapple, anti-air, and punish projectile spammers. Easily the coolest thing about him is his Drill special. I think it’s the only ultimate in the KOF franchise that you can charge for more damage. I really enjoyed this list.

I have a handful of characters I like to play in the KOF series. Fighters such as Iori, Kyo, Ryo, Yuri, King, Kim, Ralf and Clark. But none of them will give me much fun as my main Terry Bogard. As you said in the video Terry is a all rounder, easy to memorize moves and is just so much fun to play. But what I like about him more is his character. Terry is a everyday man training, working in an out on odd jobs, and is overall a nice person. And yes I also love his very quotable engrish dialogue 🤣. He seems like the type of guy to have a drink with. Plus nothing is more satisfying than hitting my opponent a well timed BUSTAH WULF!🤜🏻💥

Kula was in the honorable mentions. If she appears in the next KOF installment she’ll be one of my mains.

Rugal (98um): Because he's awesome. Geese (98 and 02um): because he's awesome and because I like Geese, my favorite character in KOF. Yuri(all KOF): I like the challenge, and my second favorite character. Leona(all KOF): Honestly, idk why I like to use her. Andy Bogard(rarely in 2003): same reason as Leona. Yamazaki(KOF 98): I just like his energy.

Clark is the only grapple character I've been able to actually play somewhat decently. Though my favorite characters gameplay wise are kim and kensou I guess I could say I'm very fond of kim due to his kicks that can open into combos and kensou because I just love his play style. I also like kyo but not as much as kim, clark, and kensou.

In tournament, no matter what kof they play i always see alot of Iori.

The character I picked most in KOF series is Iori Yagami. His "Kin 1211 Shiki~Ya Otome" desperation move is fun to watch no matter how much time I have seen it.

I just like playing Ryo in all games cuz he was my childhood hero in art of fighting series and he kinda looks like Goku when super Saiyan. Also, I like ur channel, man. Keep up the content. Btw, do u know if KOF 15 will be released? ^_^

K' hes always good in all installments plus his look doesn't change too much

My favorites are: Kyo, Iori, Kim, and every Ikari warrior from every year. Love you, Whip.

I really like Iori Yagami. That's all for my comment :).

If I were to make a top 5 of my KOF characters on all games it would definitely be: 1- Mature 2- Orochi Shermie (I love normal Shermie too, but Orochi Shermie always had my heart) 3- Chris/Orochi Chris 4- Kula 5- Angel Yeah, I do have a thing for evil female characters, if I were to make this a top 10, it would include Vice, Goenitz, Mary, Athena and King.

Your modesty is delightful! Watching you play is my favorite part of these videos. And as for my KOF avatar, Iori is my main man. Not only do I just feel "in control" with his reach/move-set, but I identify with him as a moody, solitary musician myself.

Soo glad my favorite SNK blondes King, Mature and Blue Mary made the list (King will always be my favorite female from all the SNK Fighting games 😁)

This video is basically ShoryuGame telling us his mains, Lmao. I play a wide variety of characters, from Kyo, to Terry, to Iori, Kim, Yamazaki, the entire Orochi Team, K', Kula a bit, Ryo and Robert a bit as well...

My mains are Terry Bogard, his brother Andy Bogard, Joe Higashi, Kim Kaphwan, Bob Wilson, Laurence Blood, and Blue Mary. I’m not surprised about your number 1 pick, bro. Ryuji Yamazaki is my main too!

Terry, Kyo, Benimaru, Clark, K' , Iori and Shingo are my favorite picks in general.

My top 5: 5 - takuma/mr karate: recently been messing around with him and he is super fun. Especially the kof13 mr karate. 4 - iori: super iconic and popular but I understand why, and I agree. Feels really good to hit the reka's. 3 - kula: definitely one of my favorites because of the character personality and how easy the bnb's are. 2 - yuri: this girl surprises me everytime I decide to learn a new kof game I swear. Kof2002 she had that invincible donkey kick with wall bounce property, in kof13 and 14 she has a demon flip. Yuri is full of surprises. Oh and she has a cute overhead. 1 - Kyo(N.E.S.T.S): easily the best, when I tried that 8th trail in kof13. I thought kyo with reka's is the sickest character ever. Especially when I so that neo max super. Fucking. Pure. Hype.

As a Mature and Yamazaki and Vice player, I really love and agree with this video. Well said. :D

KOF98 Fightcade - You beat the guy one or two games...runs to Iori, O Chris, Chris, Daimon, O.Yashiro Kof2002 Fightcade - You beat the guy one or two games .... runs to Kim, Iori, Angel, Kula, Vanessa, Athena

Robert has is having his time in the sun since KOF 14 it’s to the point that he’s the lead of the team and no one really uses Ryo anymore

K' and Kula... And also: Whip, Athena, Yuri and Mai... And also: Joe, Robert, Mature, Leona, Kensou, Iori and Kyo. In that order. Thanks for the video :)

When i play time ago my team normally was any from the Ikari team (except Whip) choosing mainly Ralf, later Kensou, Billy and Terry, i try to use Yamazaki but never understand how was the way to use him

Wow! My favourites are Terry, Clark, and... Yamazaki. Great list!

My mains: Kof 96- Kensou, King and Yuri Kof 97- Chris, Kensou and King Kof 98- Shingo, Kensou and Chris/ O. Chris Kof 2000- Kensou, Bao, Vanessa and Terry. Kof 2002- O. Chris, K' and Ramon Kof 2003- Benimaru, Jhun and K' Kof XIII- Kensou, Andy and King Kof XIV- Shun'ei, (because Shun is amazing) King and Zarina.

Robert and Yamazaki are my 2 favorite KOF characters and glad that both made the list

Throughout the KOF Series, I main Terry, Ryo and Robert in '97. For '98UM, I use Base Rugal. He and Saisyu always carried out my team in that version. For XIV, Nakoruru and Rock Howard (like I said before) always carried out my team. I always used Nakoruru as a Middle/Anchor character due to the hard nerfs she got after the patch with Rock taking point.

*See's number 1* Ah a fellow man of culture I see. My main 5 are in order Iori, King, Yamazaki, Mai, and Ash. Iori is the character that finally taught me to love Shoto characters, I used to think of them as too vanilla to ever main, funny what a difference aesthetics and character design do, I also love the pendulum inputs for his supers and the fact that they aren't just bigger fireballs or bigger dragon punches, it makes a shoto character that feels anything but vanilla and as someone who's struggled with anger issues my whole life I find him highly relatable. King I picked basically just because I like fellow blondes and stayed for the some of the best zoning gameplay I've ever experienced. Yamazaki because I love crazy and unconventional characters, it took me awhile to get the hang of him but I am so glad I did, he's like a crazy version of Kazuma Kiryu with snek arms I love it! mai because, well look at her it should be obvious but also I just found her easy to come to grips with and use effectively. Ash I picked because I love his aesthetic, green is my favourite colour and again like with King, I like fellow blondes so he feels like he was made for me. I liked his design so much that he is actually what finally got me to grow to love charge characters despite struggling with them for years. (M. Bison actually helped a lot with getting used to charge characters too but that's a bit of a tangent.)

Thanks for the video 👏 My favorites characters to pick in each saga are... Orochi saga: Mai Shiranui, Vice, Billy and Shermie Nests saga: Maxima, Clone Zero, Kula, Foxy and K9999 Ash Saga: Adelheid, Duck King, Elisabeth and B. Jenet Maximum Impact saga: Lien, Chae Lim, Ninon, Lilly and Alba

My top 10 KOF character picks (in no particular order) - Terry Bogard - Kyo Kusanagi - Angel - Shermie - B. Jenet - Blue Mary - Kim Kaphwan - Mai Shiranui - Joe Higashi - Luong Honorable Mentions: Shingo, Kula, Ryo, and Vanessa Terry is my overall favorite KOF character. I love his genuinely chill, friendly and easy-going personality and he's still able to kick serious ass too. He's easily one of the nicest fighting game protagonists but he's still able to pull off being a badass too. Terry is almost always going to be on my team. Shermie and Mary are probably my overall favorite grapplers. B. Jenet is really fun to use and after playing her more in KOF XI recently she became one of my favorite KOF ladies. Angel may be considered to be one of the hardest characters in the series to use, but I still really love using her. She's really fun and cool to use once you know how her Unchained Circle works. Plus, how can you not love a character who pays homage to The Rock?

Dunno if it’s worth mentioning, but King was actually added in the PS2 version of KoF 2002, along with Shingo, Goenitz, Geese, and Wild Iori

4:32 Watching Blue Mary whip Chang around like a rag is hilarious

Top 10 frequent picks in my arcade experience: -Iori -Terry -Kim -Robert -Mary -Vanessa -Ramon -Kula -Oswald -Yuri

My top fav 1Lori 2 Robert garcia 3 Kyo 4 Terry 5 Ryu 6 Chris 7 Leona

Man, I main Yamazaki too. One of the best chars! Cheers!

Another great video! I'm not the best KOF player either but my main picks are Terry, Mai, K', Vanessa, King, Blue Mary, Shen Woo, and Iori.

My favorite KOF Character was & always will be K' . He is the only reason i started playing KOF Series .

your intro of yamazaki made me laugh so hard, "loveliest, nicest, most considerate..." what?! my fav is ralf by the way, reason is simple, galactic phantom.

Blue Mary, Kyo Kusanagi and Iori Yagami is my main team. I stay with them since my playstyle is rush, crush and roll back. thanks for this video! Stay safe as well~

My very first: Iori (Don't forget his long range sweep) For gameplay: Clark Favorite: Kula (I love ice wielders) Before 00: Athena / Heidern Nice video btw, I respect those Yamazaki mains that owned me during my days on the arcade

I have a few favourites but one that comes to mind is krauser He's good up close and can do decently from afar His intro quote is the best in the series Kaiser wave is awesome.

Terry is my main man, I like his character and the balanced move set and stats make him easy to use. Athena is also among my most picked for her variety of attacks she could pulled off. But if it's 98 or 2002, it will be all about Rugal. You know Rugal, enough said. He's also my main in KOF Allstar.

You have great taste, Orochi Yashiro is my favorite grappler too, I feel like he is often overlooked. I am glad you put him in the video.

My main is usually Andy Bogard. Sometimes I would play as the Fatal Fury team in early KOF titles (94-98), with Andy being my most favorite, and Terry being the least. Joe is somewhat in the middle. For later KOF titles, I usually pick a team that I usually call the Early Main Sidekicks, consisting of Andy, Robert, and Benimaru. I remember beating KOF XIII and XIV for the first time with this team, and stick with team ever since. Also, perhaps you could talk about the most picked team compositions for your next video? That would be interesting because not all predestined teams are balanced (except perhaps for the first Japan team, also a favorite of mine), and a good selection of custom team members and their order in a fight determine a lot of the success in beating the game.

10. Kim 9. Heavy D 8. Mr. Big 7. Ryo 6. Iori 5. Billy 4. Geese 3. Clark 2. Terry 1. Joe Honorable Mention: Yakazami, Blue Mary, Mai, Ralf, Takuma, Robert, Oswald, Vice and Vanessa

WTF! How did i miss this video? Time to reup the notification bell. Great video Shoryu, and i can't disagree with the top pick. Yamazaki is so versatile. I'll just list my top 5 when i play the game: Sie kensou (when he's powered), Ryuji Yamazaki, (non-charge) Robert Garcia, and (non-orochi) Yashiro who i can combo with better than the orochi version, and Joe Higashi!

my tops, on the spot, are probably ash, shermie, kula, mai, iori, kyo, whip, chris, terry and leona

Most Picked Characters in KOF: 1. K' 2. Asamiya Athena 3. Terry Bogard 4. Yagami Iori 5. Kusangi Kyou 6. Shunei 7. Shiranui Mai 8. Elisabeth Blanctorche 9. King 10. Ralf Jones 11. Ash Crimson 12.

Mine would be Yashiro (Orochi ver. Included), Iori, K', Kyo, Joe, Terry, Ralph, K9999, King, Rugal, Chris (Orochi ver. Included), Kim, Robert and Yamazaki.

YYYEESSS! I didn't realize Ryuji was your favorite, too!! He (along with Geese) is my "guyfu"!!!! 💕 I really enjoyed that video on him and it had a big part in making me like him so much; thanks so much for that one BTW!

Nobody: Yamazaki when I try to get close: *SHAAAAA*

I don't remember a lot of people picking mature when I use to play kof 97. 98, 99, 2000 in the arcades back in 1997-2005. When we had tournaments the females that were always pick were king, Mai, Athena, Mary.

Now all I need is play a KOF game now...

Great video as always!

I remember my first kof game the 97' and my very first team picked : benimaru , terry and robaaaaa! ^^ Now i play random with friends because i like all the characters (especially the 98')

Hi. Iori is the most popular and the most picked here in the Philippines. Other popular characters here are Clark, Ralf, Orochi Yashiro, Orochi Chris, Terry and many more. In girls, many are using Mature, May Lee in 2001, Xiangfei as Striker, King, Yuri and everyone's favorite Athena and Mai.

Awesome video! But I think it makes sense to revise the title to "My Top 10 most picked characters..."

Oh my goodness cant believe you chose yamazaki my favorite character i always pick him. His dm move yondan drill is the best and very awesome.

I honestly want Lucky and Brian to come back. There was just a certain element of stupid to them that I loved. Zoning with Basketballs and Lucky's looooong reach is fun to piss people off with. and if you are in a bad spot, you can cancel a normal into his teleport move. Brain, mostly because of one move I loved spamming because it was stupid. The full-body frisbee. I honestly like Shingo a lot too. I like goofy characters in general. KoF. I feel is a lil overloaded with "cool guys." Goofy characters are refreshing in the series. Chang is another one I like, for similar reasons, and in 14, his super is funnier than ever, the part with the rapid metal ball smacks floors me every time. I aside from them. I like turtling with Heidern, I like Vice a lot. Kim, Robert, Iori, Shermie (normal), Oswald, and a handful of others, I tend to bounce around rosters in the games I play. I like trying everyone. 2002UM boss fights though. C.Zero (Zero farts, all day), Rugal (cuz Rugal, c'mon), Goenitz (to be agitating with the wind pillars.)

*If u dont like Iori, ure not a KOF fan lol* Mah favs : Iori ofc K King Mai Leona Rugal ( as boss ) Adelheid We all cant understand how much this great guy spends on his vids, to satisfy the KOF community

Here are my top 10 picked characters in KOF: 1 - Iori Yagami (execution of combos and my favourite KOF character of all time) 2 - Shermie (my favourite grappler fighter but also my favourite waifu) 3 - Chris (my fastest character to use for combos, teleportation, ultimate change to Orochi and executing the orochi HDM) 4 - Rugal (using the genocide cutter as the cancel into supers in 2002 UM) 5 - Blue Mary (using the B button with a charge cancel into her hidden move) 6 - Kula (using hotkeys after combos in KOF 2002) 7 - Vanessa (the whirlwind HDM) 8 - Athena (because of the hidden move special using the correct button sequence to use the healing method) 9 - Kyo (the flame DM) 10 - Mai (my favourite to use when executing the flame HDM and efficient combos)

I've played a lot of fighting game series, but KOF is the only one in which I've 3+ mains. My list: Kim, Terry, Iori, Leona, Kyo, k', Kula.

Iori yagami just became the face of KOF

I always love your talking 😍😍😘😘❤️❤️

To be honest, ex kyo in kof 13 is so satisfying to use especially when you cancel combos into supers and I also love leona cause (it's obvious why)

I was Waiting for Geese Howard in the Honorable Mentions , But you since you Ranked Ryuji Yamazaki in the 1 number Spot , then I salute you Bro ❤️
