So KoF13 is free on xbox platforms with game with gold right now (and also on dirt cheap sale on PC everywhere for the holidays) so I figure hey lets take a look back on the game! Lots of people who have never played it, or any kof really are having a chance to take a look at it and I heavily encourage taking a look cause its truly one of the best FG's ever.
I'd like to add that on Steam, it's available with a bundle that gives you '98UM and '02UM. These are the best and most important games in the franchise.
It really is the best 2D fighter O’A’T’,the games only let down has nothing to do with the games quality,while I still get a good few SSFIV AE matches online,this like both Blazeblue titles on the 360 online are as dead as dodos online in 2021 but it’s not only my favourite KOF games which I’ve been huge fan of since KOF 95 on my SEGA SATURN but it just beats both 360 Blazblues & SSFIV AE for the no1 fighter ever IMO.gr8 video btw✌🏽🏴
I played a ton of fighters around 2008-2011 and was just revisiting this video to tell a buddy of mine about how great this game was, particularly in the looks department since that was what we were talking about. I was sure to mention that this game was no joke, and I never quite got the hang of the execution lmao. Wonderful game but I stuck to MK UMVC3 and SF instead. Wasn't ever good at anime games either lol
3:40 Jokes aside, the allusion to smash is actually pretty perfect, as KOF is basically SNK’s version of smash, pulling characters from all across their game library.
KoF 15 proper reveal is in a few days too! Looking forward to it! Next video should be some interesting Nappa tech in DBFZ that you may or may not consider completely busted and gamebreaking. After that taking a detour back to some MK11 and whenever we get any DBFZ dlc news of course that will be covered!
@UCa79gP3m8qElIXDxi_1smBA that art style almost legitimately bankrupted SNK so that isn't gonna happen haha. That said I have assurances that it will be looking good :-0
Purchased it like 4 days before it went free. Not even salty about it because I fell in love with it. It has absolutely everything I could ask for in a fighting game. Very excited for KOF15.
Pretty sure this game's visuals almost bankrupted SNK. Considering that and with the new Samsho being 3D it's safe to assume that XV will be 3D as well (Samsho is a pretty good looking game though so not necessarily a death sentence to the visuals).
@@benilinshingoseth2086 XIV looked as it did because XIII looked as it did but didn't sell. There's sadly no way in hell we're getting these graphics back.
Visually such a beautiful 2D game and a fantastic game all round. I have massive soft spot for kof orochi series especially 95 because I had it on playstation and 96 because it was the first kof game I ever played. But kof 13 is wild everything comes together game play, music, story, visuals etc. Its a shame it didn't do well due to it being in 2D but with games like guilty gear and blazblue it's annoying that gaming community pick and choose which franchise can be 2D or not
@@thekid8224 Eh, Guilty Gear became 3D too in the end and now that they made that Xrd graphics style their own the next BlazBlue installment will likely follow that path as well. I don't think XIII failed specifically because it was 2D either tbh.
I literally just got this game and all I have to say is that 14 felt so different from 13. 13 is pretty difficult but so rewarding when u pull of the one combo you've been practicing and land 50 percent in battle. I'm so hype for 15 and can finally say confidently "kof is better than street fighter" (my opinion, not saying street fighter is bad by any means)
I’ve only ever played fighting games like dbfz, injustice, mortal kombat, stuff like that. I tried this one out today and absolutely love it, the animations, sprites and generally everything is gorgeous. But with the fighting games i’m used to I can’t lie, it’s pretty tough learning combos such as these, but the game is so amazing I’m certainly not giving up on it
Even better sprites and animation than 3s in my opinion. And also the reason why I never touched KoF14 before. KoF15 really needs to step up its game when it wants to come even close to the visuals. Even a decade later. Its really unfortunate that we probably will never see such good sprites in any KoF ever again.
until strive comes out, this is still wildly the best looking fighting game to me however kof 13 almost bankrupted SNK, thats the cost of the sprites, and why sprites will never come back. They cost too much.
@@rooflemonger I think it's just because they bite off more than they can chew. It's still possible they can make a comeback. They have a nice momentum going now.
When I played around with this coming from a game like DBFZ, it really shows how bad my execution is in comparison, lol! I was pretty overwhelmed by its trial combos, but the one trial I was able to complete was Maxima's! He's the one I like the most so far! ^^
Really hope they go back to the KoF 13 art style. I know it's probably unlikely because of how much time and effort that must have taken, but man... That game was so fun to play and beautiful to watch
KoF 12/13 artstyle almost bankrupted SNK actually... so that exact style isn't coming back. That said, the lesson of kof 14 was learned and 15 will be looking better
Snk never skipped a beat because they have many of the old people back and kept focusing on fighting games while Capcom ditched them and did Jack and slash.
KOF XIII and Garou are some of the best fighting games ever, in my opinion. SNK will hopefully make the KOF XV an absolute banger so my bias is more justified. Also good to see another fan of Vice. My favorite of the Iori team, every time.
This game was the end of an era in some ways. A lot of the characters in KOF had been voiced by the same seiyuu for years, since the inception of the character in a lot of cases, and I think most, if not all, of them were gone after this game. Iori's classic laugh and Terry's glorious Engrish just aren't the same now, and nothing beats Nobuyuki Hiyama as Joe Higashi.
@@realamericannegro977 Pretty sure nothing tragic happened to any of them, they just didn't reprise their roles for whatever reason. King still has the same seiyuu she's had since Art of Fighting, but I think she's the only one who still has her original voice.
I really really loved that you're not only playing Vice but also knows the properties and combos she can dish out. A good Vice is scary enough and a master Vice is to be kept away by all means since her Decide and short hop Gorefest can really mess up almost any characters up, not to mention her anywhere juggle and anywhere full HD combos! All in all good job fam! edit: I really wanted also to perhaps get good with Raiden. Seeing KainBlueRivers Raiden demolish every character he faces is just orgasmic.
Vice is one of my favourite chars in the game she is usually placed an anchor where she really shines due to her high damage output plus jumping against Vice is scary when she has meter as a jumping CD or standing D into ex-whip can pretty much end the round
For me practing combos for long hours and continously playing with my friends helped me get better in this game cause the time you spend in practice mode is really rewarding in this game.
I actually started picking this game up again since it’s on Games with Gold. I played it a bit back when it first came out and I didn’t want to play anything BUT fighting games for a stretch. I’ve always wanted to play KoF and with 15 coming soon, this seems like a good time to learn
I bought this game on steam a few years back and spent dozens of hours on just the trials. I wasn’t very good at them though and I found it uncomfortable to do the combos on keyboard. If this game gets rollback at some point I’ll have to buy a stick or a hitbox, the combat system is fun and the artstyle is gorgeous.
i just got this game a few days ago from the steam sales. im finally getting the hang of these kof buttons lol so if anyone wants to run some online matches(preferably from US west) lets get some games
It's still available to download on PS3. $30 is a bit steep, but kof 14 still goes on sale alot on PS4 and isn't a bad place to start with the series. It's still a hell of a lot better than street Fighter 5 and hell, even possibly the mk games.
well if you can get your hands on it, kof 13 legit is one of the best places to dip your toes in. Each game is different than the other to be sure, but there's a lot of shared DNA
I haven't spent much time in KOF13 only because I was only able to start playing it when it came to Steam but also there is a bit of a lack of community and online play. That said though, what time I spent with the game with learning characters and combos, it is probably one of the best fighting games I've ever had a chance to play. For people like me who enjoy fighting games and can only seem to grasp a single character at a time, this game is pretty rough; basic combos are fine for the most part but muscle memory takes a toll for people like me and this game is very precision-heavy meaning that every directional and button input is important - no shortcuts like Street Fighter - and timing is another huge hurdle to get over. Over all, it's a fantastic game but I feel like it's aimed at more advanced players which is probably part of the reason why it wasn't overly popular when it first came out in the first place. Regardless, KOF13 at EVO will live on in my memory as one of the hypest games of all time.
I love this game so much. Most of the people I play with don't like it (they're kinda oldschool fundamentalists), and the online is not great, so I can never play it against people. So sad.
I just picked this up on Steam and I didn't realize that you have to lock down the framerate lol. My guys were flying around like they were hopped up on cra*k 🤣 😅
i like parts of how 14 did it with the max system. I think the best system would maybe be a mix of 13 and 14. Make maxes common like 14, but allow EX on demand like 13, and also HD cancels
haha kof 15 which we will get news on very soon guides and all the usual for sure. Sadly YT being what it is, not much demand for guides on a decade old fighting game. That said, there is tons of fantastic resources already out there! So don't be afraid to search around
Glad to have been able to make the 2001 like on this video, still the best year in video games, I think. Also, I just discovered KoF XIII for myself, although I own it for years, didn't get into it, now I picked it up again and it clicked as is should have years ago, that's on me...
When me and my fighting game buddies were really into Street fighter 4, King of fighters 13 was the only game that almost retired us from Street fighter. Ultimately it was because the neck code was so poor he just stuck it out with Street fighter
this game needs a new edition, heck kof2002 got a new edition and is now considered one of the best kof's of all time. kof13 can do that, just imagine the possibilities. some slight nerfs and buffs, new characters, and rollback netcode. this game as it is right now has better online on steam than on consoles(but its not rollback just slightly tweaked delay based). I think modern kof13 tournaments right now feel bland and boring. everyone has to pick mr karate or ex iori because of how tough and versatile they are. I don't want them to nerf the fun factor out of these characters. but they should think of a good nerf that removes the infinite from ex iori and maybe making mr karate's weakness more apparent.
For me it is the best KOF for sure, one of the best fighting game (animations, whole graphics and of course super soundtrack). The only problem this game has is netcode... 😬
This was the first KoF game I ever took seriously and I still have hope is has a mini revival someday. I remember going nuts watching all the character trailers on GameTrailers (RIP) and figuring out who I wanted to play. Unfortunately, SNK games aren't super popular to begin with in my neck of the US and online play generally wasn't an option if you weren't a Capcom game back then so I never got to really play it much. Rollback netcode would be an absolute godsend and since I know they've added it to older KoF's, I feel that this game could be another AC+R if they really committed.
Can't they just put rollback on this bad boy. The sprites are amazing i really came late to the FGC for this game to play, but this game is so cool even on lab. I just wanna play this online T_T
@@rooflemonger yesh thats my hope, i loved 02 a lot, but having a really good sprite game like KOF 13 with that code im sure its gonna make lot of people happy. Sprites so good you could say its a current gen sprite FG.
So KoF13 is free on xbox platforms with game with gold right now (and also on dirt cheap sale on PC everywhere for the holidays) so I figure hey lets take a look back on the game! Lots of people who have never played it, or any kof really are having a chance to take a look at it and I heavily encourage taking a look cause its truly one of the best FG's ever.

13 was pretty damn fun.
Done
That Terry joke was on point lmao
Frame perfect joke he didnt dropped it
What are you talking about that was a fact
My absolute favorite fighting game. This game made my tighten up my execution across all games. This is truly the fine wine of fighting games.
Agreed
Just picked it up and started checking out some of the trials. This one is definitely going to put my execution skills to the test
Totally agree. This, mvc2 and third strike are worldly treasures that we should have access to every console generation.

Wasn't ever good at anime games either lol
The only thing this game needs is rollback for it to be an almost flawless game
Not impossible, garou got it, kof 2002 um got it, kof 13 seems like a natural fit so lets hope lord code mystics can get it done
@@rooflemonger I can only pray that they do it really soon
And the New Face team in it !! 😋
Please give it the rollback treatment. I would actually cry.
This game with rollback would be OD.
Imagine if this game got rollback netcode someday, man...
it might happen, code mystics been doing the lord work with other snk games
More tournaments haha
It did! KoF XIII Global Match
More people getting into KoF? I am all for that!
I'm here after the gwg jan
Real talk more games need custom color editors like this game had 👌🏻
Just picked it up yesterday, loving it so far
King is my favorite character atm
Just bought it I like Kim
I also just got it, King is also my favorite and I'm working on her trials right now.
This is such a good game
King is the queen of KOF 👑 💖 😍
I am so glad this game is getting some attention it really deserves it. Definitely one of my favourite fgs of all time.
3:40 Jokes aside, the allusion to smash is actually pretty perfect, as KOF is basically SNK’s version of smash, pulling characters from all across their game library.
Smash was actually inspired by KOF. Sakurai played it back in the day and an idea sparkled in his head and boom, Smash was born.

This game is so sick. Hoping KOF XV is just this game with XIV's roster and DLC added.
So true... Still disappointed by the XIV installment..

The peak of Kim Kaphwans pants excellence

FINALLY someone mentions this game! This was my first and it's what got me into fighting games. I'm very hyped for the XV trailer

The trials Mode reminds me of the Street Fighter EX Plus Alpha trials which I found a lot of fun back in the day.

I admit I tilted a little when u said terry was a guest character from smash til I read the small yellow text lolol
I miss this art style 😥
SNK has the best art direction. I wish the new KoF games took some of the art style into 3D. I feel it's lost that in the 3D transition.
Fantastic review!
this game needs a new edition, heck kof2002 got a new edition and is now considered one of the best kof's of all time. kof13 can do that, just imagine the possibilities. some slight nerfs and buffs, new characters, and rollback netcode. this game as it is right now has better online on steam than on consoles(but its not rollback just slightly tweaked delay based).
I think modern kof13 tournaments right now feel bland and boring. everyone has to pick mr karate or ex iori because of how tough and versatile they are. I don't want them to nerf the fun factor out of these characters. but they should think of a good nerf that removes the infinite from ex iori and maybe making mr karate's weakness more apparent.
For me it is the best KOF for sure, one of the best fighting game (animations, whole graphics and of course super soundtrack). The only problem this game has is netcode... 😬
This video found me well. I liked the Terry Bogart joke too. I will begin my journey soon.
The best fighting game where all the characters wore boot cut pants. 😂😂
Just recently picked up this game today!! My first fg outside of MK!
once this game gets rollback we gotta revive this game man lol
Love the way this game looks
Why the heck is the animation so good???
This was the first KoF game I ever took seriously and I still have hope is has a mini revival someday. I remember going nuts watching all the character trailers on GameTrailers (RIP) and figuring out who I wanted to play. Unfortunately, SNK games aren't super popular to begin with in my neck of the US and online play generally wasn't an option if you weren't a Capcom game back then so I never got to really play it much. Rollback netcode would be an absolute godsend and since I know they've added it to older KoF's, I feel that this game could be another AC+R if they really committed.
Got it on Steam's Summer sale, my main boi Iori is as fun as always
That song is from Capcom vs SNK 2
Can't they just put rollback on this bad boy. The sprites are amazing i really came late to the FGC for this game to play, but this game is so cool even on lab. I just wanna play this online T_T
Code mystics has been working through the back library of SNK games giving them rollback, hopefully kof 13 is in the future
@@rooflemonger yesh thats my hope, i loved 02 a lot, but having a really good sprite game like KOF 13 with that code im sure its gonna make lot of people happy. Sprites so good you could say its a current gen sprite FG.
