- While China's Xiaohai is possibly the best King of Fighters player of all time, there was a hidden hero who hailed from Chile that was able to put a stop to his dominance in 2015. That player's name is Misterio and this is the story of how he took the KOFXIII world by storm! Using Yuri, Athena, and King, Misterio became the undisputed best player of that year but then he vanished. Join me on a Deep Dive into another story of KOFXIII and the Latin American FGC!
Thank you to dreamcancel.com/ and orochinagi.com/ for having such awesome archives which I used in this video. Thanks to / uafg_ar for the interview with Misterio from 2014!
Apologies if the translation of what Misterio says isn't perfect! The Chilean dialect is extremely hard to keep track of for someone like me and some things just don't translate, even within Spanish. If you like what I do and wanna support the channel, leaving a like and subscribing goes a long way and I'd greatly appreciate it!

I just send him this video.
He is the best KOF player here in Chile. Before XIII, he was focused on 2002 OG. One day we invited to play XIII, he didnt like it at first but we keep practicing. In just 2 months he oblirated everyone in a local tournament.
Thanks for this. I have great memories from those days.
Has he checked out XIII Global Match?
@@CELINExDION i do care and that's enough.
Man, one of my friends knows Misterio (From Chile here) and they are letting him know of this video, really nice job man.
Oh wow please keep me posted on that! He's a huge inspiration for me
Gotta respect it. Just a regular guy who had to save and make sacrifices to travel the world and prove his skill at his game on the world stage. I can see where he achieved what he did, he was likely content to return back to his life in Chile. Not everyone wants to be an FGC competitor/content creator/sponsored person. Some people are in it for the game and want their normal lives.
To add some more flavor to the character: In the early 2000s, back when rhythm games were the hot stuff, Misterio was Chile's best Dance Dance Revolution player and he even had some world records at certain songs/circuits. Despite not being dedicated to competition anymore, he is still pretty damn good 😀.
More important than anything, he is a really cool, nice person.

Getting better every day!
It is so nice to see this story get told! I had the honor of commentating those elusive IGT 2015 finals, and I knew I'd witnessed a huge moment back then. Part of why the matches are so hard to find is that, other than Bili Bili, the tournament was streamed on TH-cam and I'd wager the videos are either badly title or completely lost since Cafeid basically became nonexistent after that tournament. Thank you for telling Misterio's story and allowing us to relive the glory days!
IGT 2015 is truly one of the greatest upsets in KoF tournament history. It's tragic that the event was so poorly documented, those who were keeping up with KoF news at the time (myself among them) will know CafeID truly made a miracle in their efforts to showcase talent from across the globe, even at the expense of their own scene. Misterio's success was a huge influence on my own philosophy, even though I only share King with his team... It was just a fact no one could deny, he had the audacity to strike down God himself not once but twice, and in both cases he did so without a single concession to "meta" in the form of any 'top tier' chars on his team. It was no fluke, for that stretch of the year after IGT he had the whole KoF world on blast.
It leads me to wonder how the accessibility of both social media in general and rollback in KoFXV's online play has affected the potential for players like Misterio in the future, even compared to the effect modern design philosophy has left on the series. It's arguable that much of what happened sprung from the fact he more or less trained in secret, without online play there was no effective way for Xiaohai (or anyone else without direct access to the local scene for that matter) to keep tabs on his progress or study the character matchups aside from finding local opponents of similar skill who used them. Xiaohai most likely didn't have that kind of outlet on deck at the time, claims of distracted focus toward SFIV be damned.
So the Chilean mount Rushmore should be el Chino Rios, Bambam Zamorano, Elias Figueroa , and misterio 😂❤
So happy to see the respect that Felipe deserved !
It's also worth noting his team at the time. There weren't a lot of characters at the time that were considered "competitively viable". Matter of fact, any character below "A-Tier" were NOT considered competitively viable. If you didn't run Mr. Karate and Classic Iori, you weren't taking the game seriously enough. The only variance seemed to be Kim or Chin. Misterio challenged that belief with his team, and I believe he was on to something.
Can't wait for rollback! I personally believe there is a LOT more to explore in this game. People cared too much about the "Tiers" in this game ( that's just what the time was like ) and I feel like it prevented it from reaching it's TRUE competitive potential.
That's far from true as Bala proved years before that, if you were good enough, it was possible to win with anyone in your team (he won majors with Clark, Yuri, Takuma, Chin, Duo Lon, King, Benimaru, Billy, K', Kula, Shen Woo, Raiden, Andy, Hwa, Ryo, Joe, Vice, Kim, Modern Iori, etc.). The only character that Mysterio used that nobody else did (at that level) was Athena, though Bala showed years before, as well, that if there was a character in the game that people should be scared of, because her mobility and TODs, was her.
As someone that just got into traditional fighting games, learning all about the lore of past champions is awesome. Thank you for doing all this research. I can't help but get sad and wonder where Misterio is. We need to find him!
He's around! He was entering SFV tournaments in 2019 and such but he seemed to only play online and never did that well
@@qmanchu hmmm interesting. Will we ever know what prompted him to stop travelling for KOF? An exclusive qmanchu x misterio 1 on 1 interview would be clutch
@eudaimonia137 maybe on the future! I asked around some communities and nobody knew how to get a hold of him. To me, from this old interview, it seems that he just couldn't make money playing and even tho he was the best, it didn't matter. It couldn't support him without a sponsor, which they don't have in Chile
@@qmanchu have you tried through facebook?
@@qmanchu I think it's tougher for Latin America in general. I think it's a better chance for Misterio to come back now though. Prize pools are better these days!
Misterio is such a legendary player and a great person too!
Great video as always, the editing is on point! Love when people talk about some unknown legends like Mistério :)
What a great video, hopefully this past legends start giving you interviews.
I've gotta work on my spanish!
@@qmanchu bro, you should interview Gootecks!
@@dahgameps432 I would love to see that!
For us Chileans traveling is mostly out of the question when the average value for that its about what most people win in a Year just for a 2 to 3 day trip, its simply just not viable at all. That's why rollback is so important for regions like us, since it allows us to show our skill level to the rest of the world. Hell, even traveling to countries next to us is really expensive since the most viable way to travel its by Plane, unless you want to travel through land, which can take a whole week, its a lot riskier and also makes you really exhausted to perform at 100% most of the times.
I didn't consider the geography in terns of travel but that does make a lot of sense. Thr story of Misterio becomes more and more wild with each new detail I learn
this is a weird takeaway from this video but seeing Misterio use King, Yuri, and Athena (and Saiki, if i read one of the screenshots right?) is very interesting to me--i like KOF a LOT and KOF13 is one i'm rediscovering but so many sources are like "the 15 dollar team is the only one anybody ever played" and it's just cool to see three totally out-there characters dominating like that. i know Misterio is the pilot and i'm guessing any character can do work with him at the helm but still, really neat to see
That was a big part about why his story was so cool! I can't believe I didn't hear more about this until after I started researching for this one
Top notch video quality as usual!
Many thanks! I really wanted to do this story justice. It was just way too cool
Mistério é o melhor do kof13 sem sombra de dúvidas
Would be great to see such legends return to majors, though their online sets in KOF XV show that maybe their best years are over. Bala and Misterio were such great players at their time (Bala won every major in the US but EVO), but nowadays they're just that, legends.
What's said at the start is a reality, even if some have managed to beat Xiaohai in KOF (NL, Koukou, ET, MadKOF, ViolentKain, ZJZ, M', GXBridget, Hisa, Misterio, etc.), nobody has ever managed to replicate his success and be so dominant in as many games from a series. He is, by far, the best KOF player of all time. The only player close to that dominance in a series is Sonicfox in MK.
Awesome content, man... cheers from Brazil!
Next video like this is about Brazil! Hope you tune in because it's taken months to put together!
@@qmanchu nice!!
Misterio is still around, you can ask him questions!
I've gotten in contact with him actually!
Congrats on 15k!
Thank you so much! What a crazy number lol
Visa issues :\ he (and KaneBlueRiver) is a legend here in Chile
KBR still travels and plays though! Did Misterio just give up after that? Also do you have a source by chance? There's pretty much no info anywhere
@@qmanchu the anti spam is deleting my posts xs, anyway, he had his visa relinquished, so no more usa travel, he was in the chilean team PHD look for them in rrss
@neoyagami I've actually gotten in touch with him! Gonna try and do a follow up interview
Thanks for doing one on KOF!!!
I'd love to do more videos like this in the future but I can't tell what kind of stuff youtube actually likes to promote for me haha
UAFG Presente !!!
#sueeeeeee
Thank you very much for this video! It was a joy to watch.
Misterio, just like his name, a mystery man. Dominated kof13 in its late years, then just disappeared. I hope it's because he found something more meaningful than FGC in his life.
I always wondered what happened to him. I just figured maybe he wasnt able to compete due to money maybe. I know some people who were super good and high level at fighting games, but then its just their situations at home in terms of finances just wasnt good and not all the fighting game players came from families with money or a stable middle class family I think too.
great video!
Very interesting video! I'm looking forward to more!
I'm glad you enjoyed it. This is one of my favorites I've made
Buen video
Good video
Love these videos
Great video
as far as i know misterio retirated cause lack of money for travels
creo q lo dijo el younghou una vez xdxd :v vrijidooo
excellent video
I'm so glad you enjoyed
Did he ever play against M’ he was best of Japan in XIII
💪👍nice!
Único chileno que le ha ganado a xiaohai bueno a asia en general kof 13
Banger
Lol thanks I put a lot of work into this one
Just by beating the best Asian players like Et, Xiao Hai, Mad Kof is already enough to say that he is the best.

Hell yeah
misterio was xiaohai nemesis, you just can't beat him, play the game you become good at it
For a moment I thought they would talk about "Enfermo terminal" 😂😂😂😂😂😂
More info about this player with interview th-cam.com/video/HSun8y-Zax8/w-d-xo.html
xiaohai didnt play 13 that much he was more focused on sf4 at that time
cope
dude it says so in the video, he was beaten by misterio 3 times over 6 months and went to train, it doesn't take xiaohai much time to train for a KOF, please don't try to undermine misterio's achievements with such a cheap excuse
@@Demondzeta The facts speak for themselves. Xiaohai was Evo 2014 champion in KOF 13 and at the end of 2015 he won an important tournament in Dubai, where MadKof and Freezer were. It is showing tremendous ignorance to say that Xiaohai did´n take KOF XIII seriously. Thank you for support.
