I like the fact that they made his MOTW ending (where's he's blinded by his father) canon, and what's cool is that even tho he temporarily lost his sight, he actually recovered and now CHOOSES to fight with his eyes closed simply because he feels it makes him even stronger and that his eyesight was actually a hinderance, lol. Gato is just too cool man.
Max is spot on about Gato's stage having that classic SNK aesthetic. The bridge in the far background reminds me of Tung Fu Rue's stage in Fatal Fury Special.
That comes with any development, plus Max has been on the other side of a product for a while now. Since KI, at the least. It's clear that he appreciates the details. On a side note, that is been one thing that I really like about city of the wolves. Throughout the game's preview's and trailers, this game has a VERY distinctive style to the visuals that makes it stands out, it's not so much pushing the fidelity as much as it is making an artstyle for itself. Games need to do that more.
@@DuvJones No, every game must let me see the pores and sweat on every character, and must use DLSS so it doesn't run at 5 FPS otherwise it's a bad looking lazy game. /s
I don't know if it's a reference to the character of Shiryu from the manga/anime Saint Seiya who had to blind himself, but discovered that he could still fight even if he lost his sight. I mean, Athena and Athena Asamiya seem inspired by Saori Kido from Saint Seiya who is also the reincarnation of the Greek Goddess Athena
The logical completion to the roster would be Jae Hoon, Hokutomaru, Freeman and Kain to get to 17, and then for the DLC spots alongside Ken and Chun Li it'd be Andy, Joe and Blue Mary because they were featured in SF6's World Tour mode.
Bloody Roar Reboot needs to happen in the near future to fill more gaps in 3D fighting games but thankfully VF comes back and I dunno if Soul Calibur might return.
GATO is actually blind ! At the end of the story in Mark of the Wolves, GATO beat Kain and is about to finish him off but his father GAO save Kain and blind GATO in the process. GATO is seeking vengeance from his father GAO who killed his mother.
We've been waiting for you, Gato. And you did not disappoint. Hopefully Freeman and Hokutomaru show up as well, if I'm not mistaken they're the only remaining Garou characters that didn't die. Yamazaki would also be killer to see how he's aged in this timeline.
The bad thing is that I don’t think is going to do that well. The main reason why I like SNK is because of KOF and a little of Samurai Spirits. I hope people buy this title through.
Max is definitely not wrong on this that SNK is definitely refining and polishing the new fatal Fury Mark of the Wolves to be one of their best to come out.
Having Geese as a launch roster character? I don't think so. But definitely DLC as Nightmare Geese would be a fantastic idea, people would pay to play him even as a non-canon ghost.
The game looks beautiful, the colors are popping and yeah I can't wait for Geese's intro is him bouncing off the ground up the building and then busting the window of the building lol
Why do people keep thinking they’re gonna put Ronaldo in as himself, and not simply having him voice some new character who actually fits into the Fatal Fury universe? That would be like having Rambo in MK11 but giving him some sort of magical power instead of basing his moves off the movies.
Is Ronaldo and the Saudi gaming dudes that cool enough to understand to not get directly involved? Doubt it. This game series is iconic. They want their fingerprints all over this.
@@Swampert384 I know who he is. I'm talking about them not being directly involved, which I doubt. Out of anything SNK has put out since getting bought out, this could be the most bosses influencing development decision SNK ever have. They see it as purely a business decision, and SNK can't say no. This is similar to Negan in T7. Harada never really explained why he was a guest, he more or less just said "why not?". So his bosses most likely did the deal, and the Tekken people just went along with it.
That stage looks beautiful. Maybe a bit dark, but beautiful. Also, while many assume Andy and Joe are gonna be base roster, my guess is that they'll be DLC. And the 4 remaining base roster characters are going to be the 4 remaining MotW characters.
Off topic: SNK bringing back their fighting games makes we wish Capcom could do the same. Darkstalkers, Rival Schools... Is that too much of a risk for them? 🤔I guess that's why the fighting collections exist. It's probably a much safer bet..
IIRC, he was really disappointed because Rock's was pretty bad in MotW, causing him to not play it that much. That, and like many people in the FGC he is not a lore player.
4 characters left. 1 base roster 3 dlc. From the original roster still missing are Kain, Freeman and Hokutomaru and Kim Jae Hoon. Ronaldo being a character makes 3 spots left. Kains voice was heard in that og trailer so i think he will be in for sure. I doubt Geese is gonna be here but I would love to be proven wrong.
No. It's 17 base characters+the 5 doc. we know 13 base characterd, and two Dlc, so we're missing 4 base characters and 3 Dlc. Excluding the canonically dead Grant, there's coincidentally 4 remaining MotW characters (Jae hoon, Freeman, Hokutomaru, and Kain. I think that's going to be the next 4 characters. Andy and Joe will probably be DLC, and the final DLC either a boss like Krauser or Nightmare Geese, whatever they're doing with Ronaldo, another returning classic like Blue Mary or Yamazaki, or a semi-obscure fan favorite like Rick.
My boy Gato, I was waiting for his return.. This game keeps looking better and better. What is the song in the background when Max play the video in slowmo?
Yo! This comes out a day after my birthday. It would be so cool if this is a Switch2 Launch window title. I really think that could give the game a big boost. What if, at launch, this was the only fighting game for at least a month or two? I really want SNK to have a big hit.
@ Do you think there is a chance he would actually appear AND simultaneously not be playable? At least be a post-launch DLC character… 🥺 If I’m being honest, Kain is my main, so him being such a cool character is what made Garou: Mark of The Wolves one of my favorites. It would be a shame if I stepped out of retirement just to cope that the sequel to the best Fatal Fury game is missing my main.
@@kado-2323 I can only speculate of course, but personally I'd be surprised if he doesn't show up at all. My guess is he's either in the launch roster or part of the DLC characters. I'm not really familiar with Garou or previous games he might have appeared in, but from what I understand he's kind of important and popular (you'll know that better than me), so chances are he's playable at least at some point
@Kado-2323 If he is in the game (and I'm 90% sure he will be, base roster at that, he kinda have plot relevance with Rock's story), he will be playable. In this day and age, SnK don't make unplayable bosses anymore (which is understandable, they spend time creating these assets, they have to capitalize on them).
@@emperormegaman3856 Regardless, here’s to hoping whatever appearance he makes is a cool one. I’m actually a little nervous about whether or not a redesign will do him any good.
Max, anybody if you read this, what is the name of that damn song that plays at the end of every trailer, and where can I find it to either stream or download?
If you mean the song used in the City of the Wolves trailer, unfortunately SNK hasn’t released the full version yet :/ Most of what’s available are cleaned up snippets on TH-cam & Twitter
i know it has to make sense for the lore but i wouldnt be mad if they put geese in it tbh. and be like yeah we just wanted to put geese in but he has nothing to do with the lore
I like the fact that they made his MOTW ending (where's he's blinded by his father) canon, and what's cool is that even tho he temporarily lost his sight, he actually recovered and now CHOOSES to fight with his eyes closed simply because he feels it makes him even stronger and that his eyesight was actually a hinderance, lol.

didn’t even know that that’s awesome
"My eyes hold me back"
This roster is shaping up nicely. Can't wait for April.
I can't wait to see my girl April City Of The Wolves in Fatal Fury City Of The wolves.
What? @@juliocesarsajhe
It’s the same roster as the original , guess you didn’t play it
@@rosema7909so preecha was from the original?
"it's the same roster as the original" ah yes who could forget Mai's debut in a biker jacket in the original garou 🤡🤡🤡
Max is spot on about Gato's stage having that classic SNK aesthetic. The bridge in the far background reminds me of Tung Fu Rue's stage in Fatal Fury Special.
and that stage in KoF 2002 with the electrical wires on the ground, I forgot the name.
Noticed how ever since Max worked on mvcib,he's more focused/attentive to the visual effects and the animation and hit sparks. You love to see it
That comes with any development, plus Max has been on the other side of a product for a while now. Since KI, at the least.

Gato without sight he cant know he is hitting the beloved sister Hotaru.
Im pretty sure he doesn't care about her because he beats the shit out of her in Garou
He can most likely hear her screams
Bold of you to assume that he would care
@@CosmicRPG i think he doesn't care for her because he ignores her and fights her on Garou
No, he knows. He just doesn't care.
He was blinded at the end of Garou MOTW, that's why his eyes are closed
Even though Gato’s eyesight was eventually healed and can see again, he now relied more on fighting with sense instead of sight.
I don't know if it's a reference to the character of Shiryu from the manga/anime Saint Seiya who had to blind himself, but discovered that he could still fight even if he lost his sight. I mean, Athena and Athena Asamiya seem inspired by Saori Kido from Saint Seiya who is also the reincarnation of the Greek Goddess Athena
SNK's best looking game to date
idk if it looks better than metal slug but its up there for sure
The Last Blade?
Although it's their best looking 3D game for sure.
Imo it's KoF XIII but yea 3D wise, this prob the best they have done.
@@thefutureisbreadhe mean probably for unreal engine pixel snk is still unbeatable
Using creativity and art to make the game look amazing. It looks so crispy and appears to retain the tight feeling of MotW. Can't wait.
The logical completion to the roster would be Jae Hoon, Hokutomaru, Freeman and Kain to get to 17, and then for the DLC spots alongside Ken and Chun Li it'd be Andy, Joe and Blue Mary because they were featured in SF6's World Tour mode.
Maximilian was a roman guy who slept in a cave for 300 years
Geese is a Akuma where he is 100% gonna be dlc
Yes, this Fury is much more Fatal!
Gato has same martial arts as Jun and yang from Street Fighter? I recognize that step forward punch from anywhere.
Chinese Kung Fu, same as Kensou too
Here I’m hoping we might get a BloodyRoar and Power Stone game.
Willing to sacrifice my firstborn to get some new bloody roar anything.
At least you're getting both _Power Stones 1 & 2_ in the upcoming _Capcom Fighting Collection 2..._
@@adrianhendricks772 True, but I want a genuine remake. Though I’m probably one of 5 people who played Power Stone back then.

GATO is actually blind !
At the end of the story in Mark of the Wolves, GATO beat Kain and is about to finish him off but his father GAO save Kain and blind GATO in the process.
GATO is seeking vengeance from his father GAO who killed his mother.
Actually, Gato got his sight back 😅
@@jinpei05 We don't know if it's back to 100%, he might need glasses now.
1:10 That slam into the ground needs some screenshake or something to sell the impact. It's pretty flat the way it is right now.
Cant wait for this game, LOVING how well its coming along and we still have 5 more to go!!!
I just need Rick Stroud or Nelson please give me one of the boxers.
Nelson is a Kof original, but Rick might be DLC.
They knockin' the triangles out of everyone in this game now
This trailer makes me want to go back and learn Gato in Mark of the Wolves 😅
I checked out Garou: Mark of the Wolves cuz of videos by Max and Matt McMuscles. Now I'm hyped for this game. Thanks, Max 👍
Matt did a huge video on the whole series, really solid stuff!
@saterdei true, but his playthrough of Garou (along with Max's own videos) convinced me to buy it 👍
I anticipate that Gato's father Gao will replace Grant as the mid-boss.
We've been waiting for you, Gato. And you did not disappoint.
Hopefully Freeman and Hokutomaru show up as well, if I'm not mistaken they're the only remaining Garou characters that didn't die. Yamazaki would also be killer to see how he's aged in this timeline.
Rick Stroud is someone I'm hoping for
Gato 🐈
OH YEAH. GATO!!!
He looks a bit rough, he looks more angry.
He's super angry with his sister for eating his cookies
I love the energy of the hit-stop in this game, really feels like the big hits are BIG!
The bridge from Snake Eater on the background.
The bad thing is that I don’t think is going to do that well. The main reason why I like SNK is because of KOF and a little of Samurai Spirits.
I hope people buy this title through.
I think I found my main for this game his attacks look more ruthless this time around
Max is definitely not wrong on this that SNK is definitely refining and polishing the new fatal Fury Mark of the Wolves to be one of their best to come out.
Anyone know the song that starts at 1:54? Thank you in advance
One of Sagat’s Street Fighter EX themes. I think EX 3.
Street Fighter EX3 ost Sagat's theme Before Moon.
It’s Sagat’s theme from SF EX2 Plus.
Thank you!
I'll be picking it up. I've never played a lot of SNK but I'm thinking this will be the one I put some real time into. Very hype
April cannot come soon enough
I haven't played fatal fury in decades this new version looks dope
I still have hope for my Hokutomaru!
I wouldn't be surprised if the 4 remaining are the 4 missing characters from MotW. Freeman, Hokutomaru, Jae-hoon, Kain.
Having Geese as a launch roster character? I don't think so. But definitely DLC as Nightmare Geese would be a fantastic idea, people would pay to play him even as a non-canon ghost.

Did you also watch the comparisons with MotW Gato and KOF XV Gato?
The artstyle reminds me of brush paintings it's gorgeous
i'm really just waiting to see how joe and andy look.
I'm not into the anime aesthetic but this looks amazing.
Let’s GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
i love that those hit sparks tell you very clearly if its a high medium or low
Just got an SNK Arcade stick for Christmas! Just in time for this game! :D
How long must we wait? I need the full version of that theme song 🎵
damn look at gato's expression at 2:20 it looks SO GOOD
where is kim jae hoon :( why only have 1 brother
Keenly waiting for ken’s announcement

It's always to me funny how Rock is, like, Max's favorite character, but Max knows almost nothing about MotW.
IIRC, he was really disappointed because Rock's was pretty bad in MotW, causing him to not play it that much.

Geese is BIG MONEY (DLC)
Gato looking awesome
Saying Ronaldo in a fighting game is never not gonna trip me the f out
Hope for either Freeman or a Freeman equivalent 🤞
It sucks that we have to wait looonger for a physical release of the game!
I want to see Gato versus Vox right now.
My favorite looking character so far.
They need to work a little more on those highlight effects on characters, Gato looks like a Super Saiyan every time he does a powered up move.
Im scared the hype of this game is/will die
Where tf is the physical edition. I swear I be checking every month for a preorder
Can't wait for Zombie Geese
i know it has to make sense for the lore but i wouldnt be mad if they put geese in it tbh. and be like yeah we just wanted to put geese in but he has nothing to do with the lore
Gatoooo!!! ❤
Ngl I miss the crazy ass motion blur from the early build
That would have been straining to see for most people. I'm glad it's toned down and looks like the characters are moving quickly
Guess rolnaldo the final boss of this game
Gato is actually blind
Blind Gato means SNK is commited to get in into the story.
Hope are high for Geese to still be dead (or undead) ;p
