Love this game!! Fun fact: Savage Reign and Kizuna Encounter takes place in the not too distant future in South Town (yes...the same South Town in Fatal Fury and other games). Also, Kim Sue Il is actually a descendent of Kim Kaphwan if it wasn't obvious haha.
EXCELLENT IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR a LONG TIME great game. I do hope you play more of it, it has so many mechanics and combos. the kims combos are sick
There is even TAG COMBOS and clashes, alpha counters and a lot of super fun stuff. Also, check the select character screen arrange music (it's amazing). PD: too bad the clown is top tier. Hated that character
In 2007, SNK was put out a bunch of compilation titles for the PS2, like Fatal Fury Battle Archives 1 & 2, King of Fighters Orochi Saga (94-98), Art of Fighting Anthology, World Heroes Anthology, Samurai Shodown Anthology. Look up Neo Geo Online Collection for more info. One title that originally was Japan-exclusive was Fu'un Super Combo, which contains both Savage Reign & Kizuna Encounter. Well Fu'un Super Combo got ported to PS4 in the US! It costs $15 but once in awhile goes on sale for $4. So you can get the game in this video on PS4
I'm waiting for him to play the other RBs because each one has a nice different flavor. Especially RB1, a very unique sequel. Overall FF is one of the most experimental classic fgs, that went through many interesting changes from FF1 to MOTW.
Forward +A+B is a dash with invincible frames on startup. It's like your forward dash but it has recovery frames that leave you open. Think of it like Akuma's Teleport. It's a good way to get out of the corner or to move in to do a combo on recovery (unless you get grabbed or hit during recovery frames). You can also do overheard attacks that connect into a super. And as for chain combos, you can do them on jump in and also on crouch combos. Great game. 😎
The boomerang guy and Jyazu (the final final boss) are secret characters in KOF XI, a game that I'm not sure I'd call a good KOF but is definitely an amazing fighting game.
I usually play neo geo games at level 8 and train to finish with just one coin, if you train a lot you can do it. I finished this game with all characters at level 8 including facing the secret boss. I challenge justin to finish savage reing at level 8 with 1 coin, and I still give you the tip, choose the woman who fights with a ball. she is the best.
Actually Kizuna Encounter was beaten by X-Men vs SF by some days. They were out in the same month of 1996 if I'm not mistaken. Though it uses a different system and more tricky or gimmicky compared to XvSF. Anyways those two were truly the innovators of tag team fgs.
Honestly I wish more games used a similar tag system as Kizuna, i mean showing the teammate on the screen. One game that I felt that took over that idea and improved it was Power Instinct 3 - Groove on Fight. But it seems like the Marvel system was preferred in the industry: the teammates fly over from the corner of the screen. Even SNK gave it up and used the Marvel system in KoF 03 and 11.
Man, I remember learning about Kizuna Encounter thanks to the Best Friends Play. When Woolie was explaining that tag system with the little zones on the ground I was blown away - to this day I still don't know why nobody else has ripped that off, or why SNK hasn't resurrected the idea for, like, a special tag mode in a KOF or SamSho game. _Or SNK Heroines;_ it would've been a perfect fit there because that game was literally just them screwing around with a bunch of ideas, and it's already a tag fighter! Missed opportunity. SNK's gotta AT LEAST bring Rosa back for some crossover action in another game; she's such a cool looking character! Don't care if it's future South Town in their timeline; that doesn't stop Rock from showing up. They use magic to explain away pachinko characters and sh**, lol. Rosa's getting ignored for no reason.
Great SNK fighter, glad to see you play. Kudos for owning on the first go; King Leo and Crow Dude are finely aged cheese, but you still came out on top. Nice.
This game was honestly my fun at arcades , 🙆the combos we did like cross ups when character chipped dead with a LP..geez like 89hits with Kim and 100 plus with joker
Well, you did the 2nd encounter with King Leo at last (you did the 3rd before the 2nd, and that was NGBC), good thing you enjoyed the game (funny thing, Rosa replaces Carol and Kim Sue Ill replaces Nicola in the roster).
They need to bring back Rosa. I was hoping she'd show up in KoF, then SNK Heroines, then Samurai Shodown. She's such a cool character, it sucks that she's only appeared in this one game that barely anyone has heard of.
The final boss really looks like a sub boss and the sub boss looks like he would be the final boss. Interesting game though this is one of the first ones you’ve played I’d never seen before.
Maybe it's because King Leo turned out to be more popular than Jazu ever was. Sure Jazu was playable in KoF 11, but overall Leo had more cameo appearances in SNK games and was a boss on NGBC.
I've had the ROM for about 10 years...LOL...Final Alpha Burn version....I remember back in the 90's thinking this game had combos before I knew about real combos.
_The King of Blades_ needs to happen and should include characters from Samurai Shodown, The Last Blade, Wind & Cloud, Ninja Master's, and maybe Kabuki Klash.
Jayzu or jazu(Jaguar) is pain in the ass on level 8, his speed is insane, and damage that he gives off, also the best player to cheat any person with🤣🤤 One thing about this game I enjoy was the infinites from an air/aerial combo to a ground addon combo, Kim vs Gordon is by far the easiest and most effective infinite/death combo you'll get. Then king Leo(sub-boss) also has a infinite/death combo if pulled off properly I also like about this game, the stun combo at the end of the opponents life after ending it off with a small punch/small kick(LP/LK - crouching or standing), (note, opponent must not jump in order for the stun mode to activate)
Este juego es una joya de esas que muy MUY pocos pudieron disfrutar. Un control excelente , muy buenos gráficos , música de 10 y por sobretodo su gameplay que es exquisito. Sin duda alguna es uno de los mejores juegos que se pueden encontrar en el más que amplio catálogo de Neo-Geo.
Speaking of bosses, I just beat Igniz and Original Zero, finally!!! 😆😆🔥 DUDE PLAY KOF2001 ARCADE MODE YOU WILL LOVE IT I recommend K9999, Robert Garcia, Vanessa and Andy Bogard! my favorites to play as 😎🔥🔥🔥
It's rare and expensive, so is neo turf masters (big tournament golf), another great game. Though kizuna is not on neo cd, turf masters cd is actually the best version of the game. Can make characters and secret Scotland course.

Kizuna encounter and NGBC are honestly super slept on SNK fighters
YES HE FINALLY PLAYED THIS GAME
Told ya this shit was sick !
Very underrated, so much so that king lion was the sole representative of the two games in neogeo battle coliseum
Jazu is also a hidden character in KOF XI.
Fun video bro, this game looks cool!
One of my favorite SNK games. I remember I went to an arcade in the other side of my city to play this game back in the day.
Ah yes. King Leo/Lion. I love his stage theme in this and Savage Reign.
He's King Lion. King Leo is the red guy
I played this a lot in arcades. It had a 2 as well i think. Thanks for streaming this game.
That last boss looked kind of like a Chozo from Metroid
One of my favorite games on the Neo Geo. Awesome gameplay, characters, music, and setting.
Damn shame we never saw another one.
2:17 "naw that clown kinda funny actually"
Actually a legend of a game there mate! Neo geo at its best.
Great SNK fighter, glad to see you play. Kudos for owning on the first go; King Leo and Crow Dude are finely aged cheese, but you still came out on top. Nice.
How did this game fly under everyone's radar?! The details in this game are extremely well done.
Really cool visual style on the backgrounds and enemies... makes it feel like some mad max universe. Or fist of the northstar more likely. 👍
You're the only person in the FGC that I can think of who plays old, obscure Neo Geo fighting games
Thanks for giving this game a Chance, its such and underrated title, hope you can play some more against some pros
I remember that in the 90's I didn't like that game, but now it seems quite nice, I really like the graphics, animations and zoom effects.
9:59 corner pressures stronger then child support 😂

The _Wind & Cloud_ duology is more unknown than _The Last Blade_ duology.
Justin's Editor be like,
pchiing pchiing PCHIINNNG!!!!
He be having those DBZ sounds on point!
bruh.. when i saw the vs screen against the crow on the sword and justin saying we really fighting the crow.. I lost it 😂🤣💀💀
Ah, one of the SNK that I've actually never played! Looks cool, though 😎
They need to bring back Rosa. I was hoping she'd show up in KoF, then SNK Heroines, then Samurai Shodown. She's such a cool character, it sucks that she's only appeared in this one game that barely anyone has heard of.
Neo geo should remaster this game with online mode and maybe some quality updates

Maybe it's because King Leo turned out to be more popular than Jazu ever was. Sure Jazu was playable in KoF 11, but overall Leo had more cameo appearances in SNK games and was a boss on NGBC.
I like how King Lion/Leo use a replica of the Atlantean sword from Conan the Barbarian.
8:19 bird up¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
The crow guys is jyazu. He is playable in KOF XI with gai, silber and hayate...
You need to play Ranma 1/2 .
Dude please play more games like this. The more obscure the better.
Dude with the Staff is one of the best.
Definitely a hidden/underappreciated gem of a game.
Takashi who created Street Fighter did that game while at SNK. Later Capcom copied/improved the tag feature with X-Men vs. Street Fighter.
Didn't XvSF came out before? IIRC both came out in the same month of 1996, XvSF a little earlier. But i could have switched the order...
@@carlosaugusto9821 didn't KOF 94 came 2 years earlier than XvSF
My all time favorite fighting game, kim and Rosa are my go to team up, they are unbeatable ...
One of the most combo heavy and dark fighters still to this day.
I've had the ROM for about 10 years...LOL...Final Alpha Burn version....I remember back in the 90's thinking this game had combos before I knew about real combos.
Not to mention that Shin King Lion is a secret playable character
_The King of Blades_ needs to happen and should include characters from Samurai Shodown, The Last Blade, Wind & Cloud, Ninja Master's, and maybe Kabuki Klash.
Yup this game does have the sauce that’s why I recommend it
Not underrated…. Under appreciated.
SNK loved that Akira skyline background…
Wong: "Who's this? Predator?"
Me: Nope it's just Jyazu...
Yo this is awesome. What platform are you playing this game on?
7:26 Never tempt fate.
The first boss appeared on neo battle Coliseum and the final boss appears on kof XI
The game goes for thousands of dollars for an mvs copy
Underrated game features are my favorite.
SNK needs to put Kizuna Encounter, Neo Geo Battle Coliseum, and KOF11 on modern systems with roll back netcode.
Great game. This is definitely under rated. It's very fun.
Man oh man how I miss those Kaillera days on this game.
I wonder how times you've pretended not to play a game before lol 😭😂😭😂
The king of fighters 1995 level 😝
Amazing game good memories and thank you Justin😎
You can actually unlock and play as the last boss here in KOF XI.
8:25 - Nevermore?
Only thing is it takes a while to learn the combos and inputs....classic Neo Geo move list.
Yeah! Come on! Justin this is one a greatest hits of Snk.
Thats the "DYAMIIIITE" guy right?
King Leo or whatever his name was right?
Apologies for activating the NeoGeo Battle Colliseum PTSD
Jayzu or jazu(Jaguar) is pain in the ass on level 8, his speed is insane, and damage that he gives off, also the best player to cheat any person with🤣🤤
One thing about this game I enjoy was the infinites from an air/aerial combo to a ground addon combo,
Kim vs Gordon is by far the easiest and most effective infinite/death combo you'll get.
Then king Leo(sub-boss) also has a infinite/death combo if pulled off properly
I also like about this game, the stun combo at the end of the opponents life after ending it off with a small punch/small kick(LP/LK - crouching or standing), (note, opponent must not jump in order for the stun mode to activate)
I've heard about this game. It's quite crazy
This is the first time I see this game running in front of me.

EARTH CHOPPERRRR
Is the new Dynamiiiiite
Can someone share the link from the savage reign video? I don't seem to find it. Thank you!
Never seen or heard of this game but I like it
Try another game called Ninja Masters for the Neo Geo. Had advanced combos for its time and you could fight with or without weapons.
You should play killer instinct there’s a Super Nintendo Og version, killer instinct gold, and the one the That came out on Xbox one in recent years
Atleast that was super if it was like a normal move like Rugal Genocide Cutter you are alrdy dead in 2 genocide cutter
Could you play Alan in MVC1 again? Those matches are so dope
Justin, a lot of us know about this game from years and years ago. You should really play it online or against some opponents. It's a real gem.
This feels a lot like Samurai Shodown.
Never heard of this game until now but i really want to play it now.
2 and 3 in particular. It has that pre-SSIV clunk to it that gives it a very impactful style.
Definitely not my favorite, but it's still pretty great.
I heard somewhere that there are like only 10 physical copies of this game in existence.
It's rare and expensive, so is neo turf masters (big tournament golf), another great game. Though kizuna is not on neo cd, turf masters cd is actually the best version of the game. Can make characters and secret Scotland course.
Finnaly. The king!
This boss showed up in KOF11
