If people want to support SNK, then I would recommend to buy the Steam version of this game. It is cheap and still such a beautiful and great fighting game.
There's also on GOG for people interested. It's called "King Of Fighters XIII Galaxy Edition". Aside for the name, it's the same game, and using GOG Galaxy I think you can play with Steam users online, but I'm not sure
This has to be one of the most beautiful fightings I've ever seen. She also has to be one of the best fighting games ever, possibly best KOF game. Shame it didn't sell well. But, with KOF 14, Samurai Showdown, as well as KOF All-Star and the special guest appearances in other games, SNK is back and I couldn't be happier.
Hiyama-san was voicing Joe since Fatal Fury 3, I believe. They changed a lot of voice actors in XIV, including Joe, who's now voiced by Kouzou Mito. So Joe has lost the only redeeming quality about him that he had.
When this came out on 360 I didn't wait for netcode patches, I formed a local community around this game and was lucky enough to get a good mix of old school SNK players and people bored with SFIV from my work place together for bi-weekly fighting game nights where KOFXIII was the main event. This lasted about a year and a half, until I left the company and moved back to my home country. The group fell apart after that. Happy to see Max enjoying the game.
The King of Fighters is a amazing fighting game series. It just always kind of falls under the radar to the FGC on a whole. SF, Capcom vs and Guilty Gear always steal everyones attention away. Super glad that in the last few years since XIII that these games have started getting more love from the FGC. I hope that KOFXV will be that game that will blow things up and put the series in the limelight over SF.
@@zakuguriin4521 maybe in usa that is so, but almost everywhere else kof is the first place. Guilty gear is niche franchise. At least it was until recently. Fun fact when snk went under lots of designers and programers went over to arc system works.
It’s a bit of a bad omen if you ask me. Good Bye Esaka (The King of Fighters 2000) - SNK goes bankrupt for the first time in 2000 Good Bye Esaka (The King of Fighters XIII) - SNK nearly goes bankrupt a second time
Max you should totally do a top 5 kof games after the legacy is over and just give an overview on the series I'm really glad you're loving these games!!
After seeing Max enjoy this game, I really hope he returns to this game once in a while like he does with Third Strike and KI just to play a few matches with fans and such though I'm afraid that character choices would be limited like mostly EX Iori and Mr. Karate. I wonder how Max would react if he saw Athena's butt juggle or Ash's Volleyball combos though.
The regular Iori in this game along with normal Kyo were considered strong and then Snk gave us EX Kyo and EX Iori who both were strong plus Ex Iori had an infinite in this game from his rekka move
It's an ordinary King corner loop combo. It's easy to perform. I'm not saying that it ain't sick, I meant that this 'sick' combo is very simple to perform and if you can, you can basically become a combo master.
For reals man 🤦♂️ that's one of the reasons I got so pissed at SFV and stopped supporting it. And now they have the audacity to try to sell me all that expensive crap for 30 dollars in champion edition!?!? GET OUT OF HERE CAPCOM smh
Not defending Capcom at all, but KOFXIII was a competitor for SSF4 and SSF4 had unlockable colors for free. SFV in general os just trash. I really enjoyed it till I realized that Capcom was just gonna nickel and dime me for every single thing in the game. Thats when my love for SFV died
I caught this live stream. I live in the UK and he was still going at 2 in the afternoon. He basically played through the entire night into thanksgiving morning. I think our boy's in love...
Again, thank you so much for giving it a chance Max! Yeah sometimes it’s chunky but when you find a good connection it works! I really enjoyed watching you play online on twitch! I really wished I had a cpu to play along.
@@Xandersama those Sprites were awesome. They had not this quality. Back then CvsSNK Chaos had the best sprites imo, but this game was buggy and broken as fuck. 🤣
@@mcknightmorgan2021...actually Capcom did fuck it up with SNK, back in 2000! Part of the deal that brought us CVS and CVS2 started that Capcom gets 100% of the profits of both the games they developed, and vice versa. A bad decision by SNK, but Capcom didn't help to promote SNK's game, even with Capcom characters in it. Based on that, it's no surprise that SNK wants partnerships with EVERYONE BUT CAPCOM...
This video puts a big smile on my face xD Yet I'm still sad, since I can't play him online. I don't think that cross-atlantic connection would be playable by itself, and here is also horrid US east-west connection =(
Maximilian is in the core of fighters right now. I love seeing him getting into the meaty of the genre mentally and physically with this title. This is The King Of Fighters.
I've waited since release for this video. So happy to see Max play and like this game. The mobility and neutral and art style is so good in this game. Cheers Max!
Honestly until Bala basically got banned from going to the United States in the cannon Brothers pulled their little switcheroo on this game it was kicking Street fighters ass
I always suspected that people who says Street Fighter is generally better than Kof, never played Kof enough to realize the truth. Well, this video just convince me even more.
I miss this one, man. 14 is fun but something about 13 feels so nice and I wish I could have been as good as I am at fighting games now back when the game was in its prime. But 14 has Rock and we might get Ash back in 15 so I can hope for the best
Hayabusadrop I mean they’re certainly doing successful because of samsho. Maybe that would help. I mean you have a popular TH-camr and master hero soccer guy himself advertising these games for free. Not like it’s gonna get drowned out this time.
If this game sold so poorly that it almost caused SNK to go into a second bankruptcy and could only be recovered by the intervention of a Chinese company, it is completely logical that they will stop using sprites
3D can work, see all 3D Arc-System fighting games. It’s just SNK was on a very tight budget when KOF 14 came out, I’m pretty sure they would have went for super specialized 3D model long and animations if it was available.
@@andrako748 For how long SNK recycled the prior KOF sprites, i could have gone a few more years just on these alone while building out the roster. It is a shame it sold so poorly. I always kind of like how the series played, but thought the artwork was lacking, then this came along.
Any newer players should check out dreamcancel, their site has plenty of good resources for learning the game, and their discord is active with players of all skills
This is my favorite fighting game of the decade! Omg, I had so much fun playing the PS3 version with friends. I shed a tear for the poor netcode, but I think I'll jump back into the Steam version to run some sets! Thanks for the upload and nostalgia Max!
This game deserved so much more. Hands downs the Best KOF ever and I'll argued one of the best figthing game all around. Great music, great visuals, great roster, challenging mechanics, flashy combos, and I'll always love the backgrounds they feel so much ALIVE. Can't belive they didn't update the PC version.
If people want to support SNK, then I would recommend to buy the Steam version of this game. It is cheap and still such a beautiful and great fighting game.
I hate being tied to steam so I bought the game, never downloaded it and then pirated it just to support them.
Or buy the $30 on xbox one
If I get it for a console, then I'm not supporting SNK?
The PC port has way better netcode than the console version. The PC version is bearable to a degree while console was literally unplayable.

Fun fact: The voice actor for Joe higashi in this game is Nobuyuki Hiyama, who also voiced Link in The Legend of Zelda.
Hiyama-san was voicing Joe since Fatal Fury 3, I believe. They changed a lot of voice actors in XIV, including Joe, who's now voiced by Kouzou Mito. So Joe has lost the only redeeming quality about him that he had.

Team One Piece Mugen OS I agree
I just got the global version for the switch and it’s quickly becoming one of my favorites (I’m traditionally a sf guy but this is spectacular).

This game is a master piece.
The best KOF games IMO are KOF96, 98, 02, XI and XIII.
98 UM, 2002 UM*
Vanilla 02? What are you nuts?
UM is miles above that.
KOF 98 UM will always be my main squeeze.

I love seeing Max so damn happy when he plays
Listen I know King combos are simple as far as KOF combos go, but that King combo was still sick asf
WE NEED BOSS RAGE ON THIS GAME...
I'm _really_ regretting not getting this back when it came out… but I suppose it didn't help that _KoF XII_ felt more like a demo.
Not to me, kof12 had a completely new engine so it made sense the way it came out. Thats like saying the og SF2 felt like a demo or beta

KoF13 was great grinding for wins.
