This kof is at the same time one of my favourites in the franchise (only behind 2002um, 13 and 98) and also the one that enfuriates me the most because Magaki.
I love Shion's fighting style so much. The sprite work for the weapon is beautiful and the idea of changing fighting styles mid-combo is just cool af, every combo looks like you're styling
this dude is so wholesome when he wins. so many other creators would have been screaming and swearing like a sailor on shore leave. but he takes it well
Absolutely crazy boss. All of the times i actually managed to defeat him were thanks to having a character with a really, really good leader desperation move.
A person who has dedicated his life to mastering fighting games: wtf how hard is this Someone at snk in 2004: this looks like something a 12 YO with 2 coins will find somewhat enjoyable
Good old Magaki. I hate this guy with a passion man, it's not even fun fighting him. I usually end up just saying F' it and pick Shion and just spam the invisible fireball until he's dead, lol.
Love SNK content and love other FG top players having difficult times with KOF games! So epic and entertaining! Keep it up with the ggs! Hope to have some matches at kof 15 vs you!!!!
Not really, he is very easy only. Once he knock down, just roll to his back when he awake, he will do that purple skill. But u roll, timing right, will at his back, then just combo him. Repeat till he dead. That's why he is the easy boss 😂
Yeah right, easy is but to beat Igniz with Kula's sweep, Rugal 98 with Yuri's super knuckles and Goenitz with grabs, you don't need roll or do combos xDD
@@xGunbladeKnightx sure. There is many way to beat them. But what if you didn't use Kula or those special characters that easy to win boss? Still some new trick to learn 😂😘👍
@@terryforever84 well, Rugal 98 with other characters you can jump back to get away from him and throw a kick or punch, he will probably make a G. Cutter, then you can go and hit him. Igniz has something similar to what you mentioned with Magaki, but jumping, he will do the antiair special move with his whip, then you hit him from behind, but you also have to have a lot of timing. And you can do a normal grab to Goenitz with any character after doing a normal jump to get close to him, maybe he will grab you before, but he doesn't do it many times.
4:22 The way he was at one side of the screen destroying you reminds me of when school girls allowed you to play as Marie the Boss and you just play Pong from across the screen
Well, more like a current gen. platform port, because you could get it back in the day on OG Xbox and Ps2 (the Ps2 version had some of the NeoGeo Battle Coliseum characters as unlockables like Tung Fu Rue, Hotaru, Geese, Mr. BIG and KOF NESTS Saga Kyo, along with the timed unlockables from the Arcade and the bosses... also, speaking of the Ps2 version, it's a shame Sony didn't bother to release the emulated Ps2 version of the game on Ps4/Ps5 at least, leaving that with the not much needed KOF Orochi Saga collection).
Welcome to SNK Boss Syndrome 3: Bullet Hell. A sequel of SNK Boss Syndrome 2: Igniz Electric Bugaloo and SNK Boss Syndrome: Goenitz go WOOSH. EDIT: I forgot about Goenitz. I deserve his lashes.
As of now the top 5 KoF games are these in no order: - King of Fighters 98': Ultimate Match - King of Fighters 2002: Unlimited Match - King of Fighters XI - King of Fighters XIII - King of Fighters XIV Wonder how well KoF XV will do
Kof XI Mukai boss is insane I remember playing that boss on arcade running out of quarters. Then i was able to get the Playstation 2 version and it took me 20+ tries to beat him. Good for you you were able to beat him in shorter amount of tries.
Magaki is the boss who makes a really good KOF fighting game into a bullet hell shmup. I picked up this game back when it got its PS2 release and I still drink to forget him.
I hate Magaki. He pushes the SNK Boss Syndrome to the limit. I hate the invisible fart projectile he does, along with the pink shyt he fills the screen with. Even has a stupid ass super move on top of it. I beat him once after losing over 100 times and never have afterwards. Still, KOF XI is my fav KOF game. Great video as always, Justin.
Ah yes, Magaki is my most hated KOF boss ever. He's not necessarily the hardest (I still find 94 Rugal to be the worst), but he was deliberately designed to get on your nerves. On the other hand, Magaki also has the classiest theme of any KOF boss, and Shion is an amazing sub-boss that I hope will come back someday as a playable character. XI is definitely one of my favourites in the series.
Ohhhh Magaki is such a pain in the ass, I used to be able to beat him with Silver by timing the Flying kicks and LDM to go through the gaps. Never knew crossups with Clark were so effective against him. This kind of reminds me of how to cheese Zero in KoF2k.
As someone who has had to deal with Magaki, I can say for sure command grabs are his bane... if you can get close. Rolls are also an effective way to beat him albeit riskier.
7:26 you didn't even time him out this time but if you did, it would've been a huge achievement. It's almost impossible to get a timeout win against Magaki. Bosses in KOF XI have a ridiculous advantage when it comes to the timeout judgement system. If you look at the final successful fight, the judgement gauge (the rotating blue/red ring around the clock) never goes rotates left enough to go red. Every single hit the boss does sways the meter far to the right, while your own damage barely shifts it. Losing characters only worsens this problem.
Yeah, getting a time over victory against the single fighters during an arcade mode run is a big achievement to be honest, the judgement system of the game in those fights is actually your worst enemy that you better think like you're fighting KI2/Gold Gargos or MVC3 Galactus on that regard (they always win when the time is over).
Juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuustamente iba a sugerir que ahora jugara la XI y ver que tal le va contra Magaki en dificultad máxima, saludos Justin te deseo mucha salud para ti y toda tu familia, felices fiestas por venir.
I just noticed Justin was playing in arcade and not console setting for this boss, aka the mode where Magaki does way more damage with every move. Plus he didn't use any shift mechanics which are partway key into defeating Magaki to call in or out characters mid combo etc 👀
i put this in a community tab, but I'll put it here too. I think you're the goat at playing defensively and patiently, so I'd be down for tier lists on both old and new games on who can get the most outta being lame just cause you're the best in the world for like two decades at it. Thanks for the content you do make, I watch your videos religiously cause you got a vibe of being a homie I find cozey while also being one the best to ever do it so thanks for the hours of entertainment. Screw the haters, i look forward to seeing how you grow on TH-cam.
Ah yes....the moment when SNK made a final boss in a fighting game a bullet hell shooter
I always thought the same thing.
Exactly my thoughts to that looks so much like a bullet hell game
it did have a unique fell fight wise that is for sure
Someone from the Metal Slug team must have been drafted by accident
@@AntonBalfe absolutely
Justin:
"Oh, who is she? Can you play as her?"
Everyone that played this game:
"You seem to misunderstand..."
Blame Japan that's not his fault
He should have to be a she, was just a lore change, but he was a she from the begining.

😂😂😂
Magaki turns the game into Touhou with those fucking teleporting projectiles
XI is so underappreciated and needs to come back.
PS2 version is just awesome.
or... update 02um with 03 and XI chars(also previous chars missing that are present in 98um+ neowave geese)
@@SAWmacaco So you want another Dream Match game it sounds like
@@Knightphall yes, like all characters until xi, and with bar mode select like 98um, and neowave c+d, that is similar to xv c+d, please
@@SAWmacaco Let's get XV out of the way first 😁
"I didn't even time him out this time" This is probably the most Justin Wong comment ever! 🤣
You ain't timing out chip master here
The point system for time outs in this game is rigged for Magaki so kinda impossible to time him out
The answer to beating a super zoner was a grappler. Who would've thought?
Not any grappler.
THE grappler.
Yes since 2 dodges against a xoner caught them off guard is literally over
This kof is at the same time one of my favourites in the franchise (only behind 2002um, 13 and 98) and also the one that enfuriates me the most because Magaki.
You telling me I’m been stick at magaki for 3 days but I came back and beat him
You literally took every word out of my mouth.
Idk why but I just cannot get behind 2002um. 2002 is so much better to me
Magaki has a funny death scream.
NNNNNNNNNN OOOOWWWWW!
It's my 3rd. I still hate Saiki more then Magaki.
I love Shion's fighting style so much. The sprite work for the weapon is beautiful and the idea of changing fighting styles mid-combo is just cool af, every combo looks like you're styling
2:13
JWong: "alright so we're gonna beat this first try, right guys?"
Me: *insert John Cena's "are you sure about that?" GIF*
(Pulls out a grappler, loses 2 characters, and panic-spams supers to get a lucky win) "FREE!" 🤣
I always forget how hype Magaki's theme is.
Seriously, Shion is one of the coolest play styles In all of fighting games, how has she only been in one game?
She? I don't know if I tell you... 😂

Ah yes, when SNK designed a Touhou stage as a final boss.
Shion will forever be my favorite KOF mid(?)-boss. I loved him and his them from the moment I first played XI.
theme*
He's a sub boss. The mid boss would Adelheid or who ever you fight instead of him.
As someone who grew up with SNK fighters, watching someone else getting traumatized by the hellish bosses is an experience.
0:24 shiver city? was not expecting paper mario lol
Good old Magaki. I hate this guy with a passion man, it's not even fun fighting him. I usually end up just saying F' it and pick Shion and just spam the invisible fireball until he's dead, lol.
Woooow Justin had to go to the dark side and pulled out a grappler. Is this the beginning of a new grappler main Justin Wong?!?!

Thats not gonna happen Man..

I used to play this one a lot. The final boss is like a Gradius boss with all those missiles. GREAT boss-theme though, love the sweeping piano style.
I forget this game exists every time I remember it does.
4:22
The way he was at one side of the screen destroying you reminds me of when school girls allowed you to play as Marie the Boss and you just play Pong from across the screen
"she looks so cool" LOL
I remember you can play as Shion. He was a really fun character.
"Had to use a grappler".
Justin: "I won but at what cost..."
Justin listened to us
This Kof is the most goat for having Oswald,Elizabeth, Garou characters and having the best boy Ash crimson ❤️
I'm not a big fan of the roster, but i loved the Motw representation and the unusual Crossovers. That has to be the standard of modern Kofs.
Leave it to a Garpler to beat the ultimate zoner boss.
this game needs to have a port, glad you used a grappler, I'm a grappler player myself😁
Well, more like a current gen. platform port, because you could get it back in the day on OG Xbox and Ps2 (the Ps2 version had some of the NeoGeo Battle Coliseum characters as unlockables like Tung Fu Rue, Hotaru, Geese, Mr. BIG and KOF NESTS Saga Kyo, along with the timed unlockables from the Arcade and the bosses... also, speaking of the Ps2 version, it's a shame Sony didn't bother to release the emulated Ps2 version of the game on Ps4/Ps5 at least, leaving that with the not much needed KOF Orochi Saga collection).

- King of Fighters 98': Ultimate Match
- King of Fighters 2002: Unlimited Match
- King of Fighters XI
- King of Fighters XIII
- King of Fighters XIV
Wonder how well KoF XV will do
Somewhere between 98UM and 2002UM imo
That was brutal!
I am so glad you finally fought Magaki. The bullet hell boss
Yeah I definitely like Shion, wish they would bring him back.
Magaki is definitely one of the most bs SNK bosses ever.

Oh, Justin... You are in for a wild ride....
Love KOF XI lot of fun with the homies when this dropped
That last boss looks like it could be a boss from an RPG. Great job Justin you are awesome.
I love these vids. It's the only time J Wong looks human. 🤣
Last boss is like "Hello, my name is Dan. Dan Maku."
we're playing kof xi, while magaki out here is playing touhou: embodiment of scarlet devil.
Justin you don't get to call him free when you're reduced to one character and had to fight him multiple times.
I hate Magaki. He pushes the SNK Boss Syndrome to the limit. I hate the invisible fart projectile he does, along with the pink shyt he fills the screen with. Even has a stupid ass super move on top of it. I beat him once after losing over 100 times and never have afterwards. Still, KOF XI is my fav KOF game. Great video as always, Justin.
That was nerve wrecking. But you did it, Justin. You beat the son of gun.

Yeah he definitely isn't the hardest, but probably is the most annoying
@@StarDragonJP he's basically a bullet hell boss from a shoot em up in a fighting game. 😂

This is how you know this Snk made this games for th arcades.
You should try the boss for arcana heart 3 max. Good luck.
Great game, we need a modern port aith Rollback of XI.
As someone who has had to deal with Magaki, I can say for sure command grabs are his bane... if you can get close. Rolls are also an effective way to beat him albeit riskier.
the best versus matches are in kof XI

KOF XI is an awesome game and I hope to play it in the future. Keep up the wonderful work!
He's* mad cool
Magaki, one of the most difficult bosses on KOF franchise. I wanna solve a mistery about how some people defeat Magaki with PERFECT ROUND.
Cheats
HAAAAAAAAAAAX!
It just occurred to me that JWong is going to look exactly like Egg Chen from Big Trouble in Little China when he is later years
Underrated entry. I hope it gets a re-release with rollback someday.
Also the first character is a "he".

On the pink screen attack, Magaki yells "ME SACANEOU" (portuguese for "screwed me")
I love this version of KOF!
You can cheese him with duolon "floor kick" at certain distance until you get him to the corner and just spam.
