So far, all of KOF XV's DLC has been stellar. Zero complaints about any of the character choices they made, it's an extremely rare "I love all these characters" across the board for me.
@@ymb9shinzou743 It's most likely censorship, because this game is also available in China and Korea, but yh...it's pretty stupid. If Cody can use his knife in SFV then Yamazaki should be able to use his too.
So glad Yamazaki is no longer Yamasucky... He always was a great character in terms of design but SNK ALWAYS gimped him to hell and back options wise...
I’ve always loved Yamazaki and am so happy to see hip in the game. Now all I want is shen, he’s such a badass and, despite them both being notorious criminals in Shanghai, yamazaki and shen have never been in the same game together or even canonically met. Having yamazaki and shen on my team would make this one of my favorite fighting games of all time.
@@hakageryu307 Yeah well most of max subs don't play fighting games that's well known by now lmao. Still glad that these great characters are being introduced to a more casual western audience.
It is so surreal watching characters that I only know from playing KoF in my childhood and instantly recognizing them, their moves and mannerisms. Some things are just etched into your brain and unforgettable. Yamazaki's maniacal laugh and fits of insanity have stayed with me for nearly 2 decades man.
The fact Rock and Geese have a fateful encounter OST is sick. I'm really excited to see the full version of Geese and Rock epic theme and their interaction with each other so I can learn more about their canon lore in KOF. Geese Yamazaki and Billy skillsets look dope. I like their climax but I think Geese has the best one out all of the two.
Wouldn't hold my breath on there being "new lore" considering that part has been lacking overall in XV and the developers have stated they don't plan to advance characters from different games further from their original source. The interaction and small intro from the trailer was still at least nice and I hope we get ones for Yamazaki and team Orochi
@@kingdomcomesuperman3669 That's what I'm hoping too. Since he has a connection with the Orochi gang and the Fatal Fury characters like Terry and Mary since he's in a team with Geese and Billy
@@chrisprobablyananimator5082 The characters are also DLC, if they give the outfits for all players, what would the players without the dlc do with them?
FUN TIP: That bridge is Billy Kane's original stage in Fatal Fury 1. It was a cross the way from Sound Beach (This stage, which belonged to Michael Max (The boxer in yellow on the Sound Beach stage) in Fatal Fury 1).
I told myself back when kof came out that I'd wait for team south town to come out so I can have my boys rock geese and yamazaki and now with them out ina few days and my copy of kof on its way I'm very excited for yamazaki always wanted to play him and now even more so thanks for showing them early dood!
LMAO ! Billy #8 is straight up Kiryu Kazuma in Yakuza 0 Yamazaki end up being the best of the 3 characters. I love how much fun they make Yamazaki in this gam.
Is it just me, or does Geese have HUGE hands and a somewhat small head? O.o Also when picking them up off the ground in a combo: "POOR BASTARD!" I LOVE that. lol
I mean, yes. For readability reasons, you gotta have to have a big hand. But also it's the way her keeps his hands splayed open that hives it a bigger than it actually is feel to it. Also he only looks like a small head because of the slick back hair. It's why Ramon looks like his head is small, but is mitigated by having his body so compressed.
Thank you so much for sharing this with us Maximilian This DLC look fantastic, it’s seems like they have kept what ppl know of these characters from recent games and just played around with the animations and frames. Can’t wait to try Southtown’s most infamous sons when this DLC goes live.
Nightmare Geese is usually just his standard look so that's technically in, I'd love for the Young Geese take considering how infamous that boss fight is.
Yeah they knew what they were doing considering he's the only character that used to wear open jacket/coat that still does in XV (others who aren't being Blue Mary and King)
Ok this showcase may just get me to buy this game. These characters look fun as hell!! Thanks max for continuing to show me new games and new fanchises for us casuals that got into fighting games because of your content. Your the best!
@@FarticusSnottington what's broken about it? Is it just putting players of vastly different skill levels up against each other or is it connection issues?
@@crazyman2188 it only applies to some ppl. I've have the game since launch and had no issues except one day last week. So I won't dismiss it but there's something wrong with it it seems. As for casuals, I think it's fine, I don't see casuals doing ranked mode and there's still story modes, ost unlockables, trial mode for each character.
I miss yamazaki’s knife and they really got rid of his drill from his parry. I didn’t know geese lost his charge forward move. I’m guessing his rekkas replaced it
While this is absolutely the classic Geese voice, after hearing it so long I kinda miss his dialogue voice from T7, for what few lines he had Richard Epcar did a shockingly good impression.
@@gizmod1208 yeah they look visually similar but Goda lacks the crazy/sadistic side that Yamazaki has, the stomping/head bashing stuffs he has look hype
I'm excited for Billy, been a Billy player since 13 and though max doesn't show him off very well, I got the gist of it. Billy's always been about absurd juggles and canceling specials into specials at specific timing to do cool shit, he's less about normal hits. All three of these characters look dope, and Billy's classic costume slight redesign is a big improvement over the "Overalls man" he used to be.
Yamazaki's fan since 97 and I'm loving this version. But something I noticed on his coat is that SNK is perfecting clothes physics. Can't wait to see what they are going to do with Kim's pants.
KoF tournament rules to Yamazaki: *Dude, you cannot bring a knife anymore* Yamazaki after seeing the entire stage full of chairs, tables, pipes and anything blunt or sharp in sight: *... Okay*
I have been a Billy Cane fan since his first appearance but now because of The Boondocks when he does his taunt I hear Colonel H. Stinkmeaner yelling "I got three stick nunchucks!".
I’m new to kof but know geese thanks to t7 so he’ll be my main but this yamizaki guy looks awesome and hilarious, he might replace rugal although rugals specials are so handy imo especially his reflect
To anyone disliking or getting mad about a content creator making some really awesome combo videos and stuff or just showcasing the moves that's really weird to me, not only did he make it so you can see these Combos and different routes he's just having fun it's not like you're going to run into max at a tournament and he's had prior time to learn these characters and he's going to beat everybody for their money
Nice breakdown! They really went all in with Yamazaki's insanity-laced mannerisms! How funny would it have been if true to the Fatal Fury ending, if Billy's punching bag was Joe? XD
I will be honest I more interested to try out Billy more Geese and Yamazaki. Those 2 are cool but I want to take the time to try out Billy more since I fine him to be more interesting , plus his super is pretty sick a huge step up from KOF 14 super.
Geese can finally cancel his close D into command moves, he also has better light confirms, his qcbAB crumples now, he also has moon slasher, and EX moonslasher (Tekken 7 version which launches), a new extension from his wrecka, an EX version of his command grab, and his Rashomon. Geese got buffed to hell in XV. I wonder if he can still loop his jumping A into Shippuken like he could in XIV. He also looks really fun to play, he is definitely a combo character.
There is alot of freedom with geese and team south town in general. Off the specials alone there are a variety of routes to take wich makes me very interested to play.
Its just now occurring to me, is Yamazaki still an Orochi boi in Fatal Fury continuity since that was an added on thing due to kof lore but kof lore is separate from FF lore, so is it just 2 Yamazaki's running around but one has slightly extra evilness?
Yamazaki looks like a sweet kind, love able gentlemen like always. Billy kind of looks broken, I don’t know. But definitely they all look fun to play as. Can’t wait til Tuesday I believe.
Oh they all have alt costumes! Aaahhhhh sick sick. I'm so excited. This isn't an actual negative but my only remotely negative reaction is I have to oooo many characters I wanna play. Can't wait for mods too.

It just goes to show that SNK loves their fans
God Yamazaki's max Drill grounding you into the floor then blasting you is so fucking cool
I always loved Geese's Rashomon, when the 羅生門 appears in the background, you just feel the impact of the blow at that exact moment.
And the fact that the music stops
SNK is the goat at doing that Samsho is full of those moments. Hopefully they put out a sequel for that soon.
YES!
"You cannot escape from DEATH" ~ Geese Howard

Can’t wait to try Southtown’s most infamous sons when this DLC goes live.
Yeah, because part of the terms of him getting early access wasn't publishing it to TH-cam.
I like the Power Geyser nod that Yamazaki has at the end of his full-power Lv. 3.
0:27 oh my fucking god they gave Geese a Joker suit.
"You're awful, Terry"
Do you have Family issues.
Geese: All I have is Family issues
We live in a society.
Hoping they put Geese in the boss mode. Would be a good way to put N.Geese as a costume
Or Young Geese
Nightmare Geese and his twelve damage combos definitely need to return.
Nightmare Geese is usually just his standard look so that's technically in, I'd love for the Young Geese take considering how infamous that boss fight is.
@@djpegao This.
They need to do the same for Antonov, Reverse and Otama-Raga
So they have Yamazaki flexing his coat and they brought back his Fatal Fury 3 wear as an alt costume? Based.
Ikr the coat looks incredible on Yamazaki
Like a boss 🕴️
Yeah they knew what they were doing considering he's the only character that used to wear open jacket/coat that still does in XV (others who aren't being Blue Mary and King)

There is no pleasing you Portuguese.
He also didnt have that in xiv
Same here but for Yamazaki seeing his stomp was nice at least.
If Whip don't get her gun, then Yamazaki Don't get his knife.

I cant wait to play geese, I have waited for him for too long
Ryuji is the character making me buy this game, love his style
He needs to be a guest in the next Yakuza game as a boss
Well... technically he was? A man named Ryuji Goda was the main antagonist of Yakuza 2/Kawami 2
In fact both seem similar in design
@@gizmod1208 yeah they look visually similar but Goda lacks the crazy/sadistic side that Yamazaki has, the stomping/head bashing stuffs he has look hype

Geese’s color 7 looks like Joker (2019)
1:11 Color 8 on Billy is literally just Kiryu from Yakuza 0. That's awesome.
I'm excited for Billy, been a Billy player since 13 and though max doesn't show him off very well, I got the gist of it. Billy's always been about absurd juggles and canceling specials into specials at specific timing to do cool shit, he's less about normal hits.
All three of these characters look dope, and Billy's classic costume slight redesign is a big improvement over the "Overalls man" he used to be.
Turning Billy into a heavy metal rocker was the best choice they ever made for him.
The band in the background of that stage look like they are stop motion action figures, kind of charming.
In KOF 98 UM Geese got the fwd+LK into the otg grab as well, but is only visible when the enemy is on the ground.
They made Yamazaki even crazier 👀
Did billy stole Terry's jacket from KOF 14?
I guess so maybe that's the reason terry decided to wear his classic outfit
Billy had this jacket in 14
0:22 He just wants a quiet life.
Lol
"my name is Geese Howard..."
Everday he wakes up at 5 in the morning clips his nails and then gets kicked off a building.
Oh wow. Geese does look like his with those colors.
Yamazaki's fan since 97 and I'm loving this version. But something I noticed on his coat is that SNK is perfecting clothes physics. Can't wait to see what they are going to do with Kim's pants.
I hope Kim comes back with Juhn and May Lee. That’d be so sick
13:58 it is looking crazy. Yamazaki always be my fav character.
Mine also
Yamazaki is violence incarnate, so glad he's back in this!
I like how the music just stops during the Geese Climax thats sick!
BILLY COLOR 8 IS LITERALLY JUST KIRYU
I'm a white man who's made women cum, so I don't know what you're talking about.
Anyone else notice the DOT during Yamazaki's climax
So Max has confirmed he is a blood. Suwoop my friend, suwoop
KoF tournament rules to Yamazaki: *Dude, you cannot bring a knife anymore*
Yamazaki after seeing the entire stage full of chairs, tables, pipes and anything blunt or sharp in sight: *... Okay*
Yamazaki needs to be in a Yakuza game already!
God im gunna end up grabbing this game too
I have been a Billy Cane fan since his first appearance but now because of The Boondocks when he does his taunt I hear Colonel H. Stinkmeaner yelling "I got three stick nunchucks!".
0:27 we live in a society - Joker
Billy’s Alternate 6 has him repping the Toronto Raptors.
Cannot wait for Team: *Rock has two dads.*
Yamazaki is so cool in this game i am very excited
I love that Yamazaki keeps his drippy ass coat on when he fights
Anyone notice Geace's 7th color is basically The Joker Suit. The Joker movie Joker
0:20 Dude, Geese's 4th default costume color is just straight up Lupin the 3rd.
I’m new to kof but know geese thanks to t7 so he’ll be my main but this yamizaki guy looks awesome and hilarious, he might replace rugal although rugals specials are so handy imo especially his reflect
Yamazaki is a fkn beast as always!!!
Yamazaki is so dope. Holy shit
To anyone disliking or getting mad about a content creator making some really awesome combo videos and stuff or just showcasing the moves that's really weird to me, not only did he make it so you can see these Combos and different routes
he's just having fun it's not like you're going to run into max at a tournament and he's had prior time to learn these characters and he's going to beat everybody for their money
Does Geese say:
A. You cannot escape from debt
B. You cannot escape from death
C. You cannot escape from Geese
B
All of the above. All at the same time.
A or B depending on his mood.
A. if working for the IRS
D. You cannot escape wrong dep.
billy's white color for his main costume is exactly like yakuza 0 kyriu

My favorite yamazaki palette is the St Patrick's palette
Is it just me or does the goose sound like Japanese josh brolin 😆 love it
Billy looks so freaking cool man
I was really hoping for Duck King.
With Kim and Hon Fu to make Team Real Bout
@@chitosrock3 woukd hope Kim comes back with May Lee and Jhun Hoon
If there's one thing I learn from the first minute of this video, is that Max doesn't like the color green.
Man, I just can't seem to get into the gameplay of KOFXV yet, but holy hell these characters are pretty fuckin cool
I personally feel that the last suit that billy has is similar to the one kiryu used in yakuza 0
Yamazaki is my favorite KOF character, he's simultaneously the coolest and craziest character lol
Same here his craziness which is perfectly personified in his moveset and always having a clean design makes him one of my favourites.
Damn, all of Yamazaki's lvl3s STILL look fantastic
Oh hell nah they gave him the Joker outfit 💀

So Geese has 2 climax in this game ? Raging Storm and Rashomon
Gesse and Yamazaki with the huge hands

Them?
them!?
