when googling up some stuff I saw people only mention NWA and the blues brothers but i just KNEW it had to be more thanks for watching SMK! good eye for knowing these before
@@TheLegendRome Who the crazy old guy on the left side of the screen scratching his beard supposed to be though? I feel like that's a reference... or just a random hobo.
You ought to look into Kinnikuman. Ton of KOF references. The blond-haired Raiden color is actually Terryman from the same series. Clark has the "Robin special" & "Muscle Spark"(Tizoc has this now in COTW). Maxima has the Muscle Revenger from Kinnikuman Super Phoenix. This is just to name a few
@@2Dee4ever it’s weird I like wrestling and anime but i’ve never watched an anime about wrestling. I’ll check those out if i ever do a partv3 since i know i missed a neon genesis references with Maxima too. thanks again 2Dee!
I did not know that about Athena's super, also I ALWAYS wondered why his hair was red but his render was blonde. My favorite easter egg is the blue brothers one, I have the movie and would watch it all the time with my brother. Great video Rome!!!
5:59 That's not Rock, it's Duke from Burning Fight. Rock does appear in that game and the previous one as a preteen version of him in some of Terry's win stances.
@@OM19_MO79 just went over Duke to make sure i wasn’t missing anything but nah that’s definitely Rock Howard. Duke doesn’t wear gloves and has cut off sleeves plus his hair is shorter. i think it still resembles Rock but at this point i don’t even know lol
KoF always has some weird, but awesome references. Look at the American Sports Team in some KoF dream matches/tourneys. Some KoF devs might have been fans of American sports
Also K' color palette 10 in kof xiii is reference to Devil Jin, also in kof 2002 King's outfit was likely reference to her Art Of Fighting 2 outfit, and the guy next to her isn't Rock because he already appeares in Terry's winposes as a kid
@@OpoumConsumer ohh that King reference could be an interesting theory but her outfit is more dark to the point where they bring it back and make it black in KOFXIII. thanks for watching!
background characters in KOF tends to be non canon, especially dream match games like 2002, so it's not really weird if there's two versions of Rock in the game
7:02 Holy shit! Is every interaction different?! Could you have Leona and Iori doing this or have Terry and Ryo in this Pause Easter Egg and there would be differences?!
Didn't Iori become a solo entry in KOF XIII and XIV, assuming Mature and Vice are dead? Despite the latter two being playable, they talk in Iori's dreams regarding upcoming threats, like Verse in KOF XIV.
They are not really Mature and Vice, they are some sort of spirits sent by some force to take care of him and they assume the personality of them. I don't remember if it's the Orochi, the tamagama or the regretful Yasakani who them.

I KNEW I wasn't crazy with the references in the Sports Team in '94! Good sir, you've LITERALLY just validated 30 years a nagging doubt, haha!

The Benimaru Jax costume is actually crazy because I never would have thought to make the shirt skin color

thanks brother o7
Good job with these deep cuts man! Always cool to see the cool crossover references SNK sneaks into their games
@@Error-wn5gy makes me wonder whwt other cameos we would have got had USA Sports team been in other games
@TheLegendRome Man it hurts😭😭😭

7:14 A guy whith a camera in this stage has a original stage sprite on it from KOF 97.
3:49 Also a graffiti reference to the movie “Mo Money” with the Wayans brothers maybe?
@@jiikaeooohhh i didnt catch that! thank you for pointing that out
You're the master, dude.
The UA-cam algorithm has blessed me today. Fantastic video, dude!
oh snap the algorithm actually works LFG!. enjoy your stay friend
7:02 Holy shit! Is every interaction different?! Could you have Leona and Iori doing this or have Terry and Ryo in this Pause Easter Egg and there would be differences?!
dude there's sooo many actions that happens i had to cut out a chunk so it wouldnt prolong the video lol. and yes it works with every character
Great video Rome! I love the K’ color from the Neo Geo buttons. It’s very cool
@@EdoSaiyan thanks Edo! i’m definitely gonna use that color more now that understand. he might have some more kamen rider references i missed
Congrats. I've actually heard somethings I didn't know. And from me that's a lot.
glad i can be of help, thanks for watching
Was combing over the sports team stage recently for my own little project and only then I did I notice Nino, SNK is goated
@@TheSeventhForce they gotta put the stage in a new KOF and have the rooftop scene eith the gun lmao
Now I need to make Ryō hair blonde but which one?
niiiiiiiiice
Subscribed after listerning to the first two.You can notice how you do your work instead of just doing lazy top 10s.
Amazing video full of curiosities ✌🏻
@@brothersbogard Thank You! big fan of your content
I'll put this one out one more time, made this thing for you guys over the course of a really drunk weekend: ua-cam.com/video/qG2CmxtfTmI/v-deo.html
Yerr wattup Rome, great video
That color scheme with Kyo and Iori seem to be referencing Duo Lon?
Duolon doesn't have green hair. it kinda looks like the 2003 shen woo costume but even then there's some differences
@TheLegendRome yeah I meant Shen Woo. I get the names mixed up.

@@NewGabeOrder they seem to be able to take corporal form as everyone in the tournament can see them but i do kinda like that as a theory

What's the song at 2:50?
@@ryanbanjothreeie9464 Street Hoop - Funky Heat
