    I always appreciated that in the RBFF games, if you lived a Hououkyaku, Kim would nod in approval, but if you got KO'd by it, he was shake his head in disappointment. Such a nice little subtle touch to show Kim's personality

    I appreciate how KOF 94 and 95 respected the original sequence of attacks from FF2: knee, punch, back leg knee/kick, side kick, axe kick, crouching spin kick, hook kick, round kick, hien zan.
    2002 and NeoWave also had a similar tribute, as well.

    Small trivias.
    Kim Sue-Il from Kizuna Encounter, the descendant of Kim Kaphwan (Fatal Fury/KOF), was the first character to make a phoenix at the end of the Houou Kyaku.
    Kizuna Encounter came before Real Bout Special.
    The aerial version of the Houou Kyaku started thanks to a bug in KOF94

    The RB1 from 95 version was historically important to define the tone of the voice during the screams, and especially define the scream from the end. That became the main model for the other games. It's only in KOF 02 that it started changing a little.

    Hay un detalle que me parece curioso del Neo Max de Kim en Kof XIII.
    Todos los Neo Max tienen un efecto visual y sonoro caracteristico, el escenario se vuelve negro y la musica de fondo casi ni se escucha, para darle un toque de impacto a cada movimiento.
    Pero con Kim, el escenario se aprecia en todo el Neo Max (Excepto al castearse) y la musica no deja de sonar.
    No se si hicieron eso a proposito, pero me parece algo genial.
    Todos los personajes a parte de sus habilidades de combate usan algo externo al pelear, como los poderes Psiquicos de Athena y Kensou, las llamas de Kyo, Ash, K', los pequeños restos de la sangre Orochi de Iori, pero Kim en su mayoria (si no es que su totalidad) depende unicamente de su fuerza Fisica.
    Kim no es mas fuerte que Kyo, Ash, Iori, Terry, etc. Pero aun sin contar con algo especial, es un personaje de temer, un verdadero heroe y defensor de la justicia.

HOW YA DID THAT?! THAT'S ONE FREAKIN' BADASS MOVE THERE!!" I was thinking to Myself than Kim and His Special Moves will one day will make him into a very popular Fighting Character in The Fatal Fury Series. I think one of the reasons is than his Standing, Flying, Squating Attacks are the most realistic and He's a Favorite of Tae Kwon Do Practicers out there.

    This is a nitpick but what makes the KOF 13-15 versions inferior to me is that the normal version ends in only 1 flash kick (Hienzan), and this ending lacks style and impact compared to the ending with 2 flash kicks, that becomes staple since KOF 96. That ending must be a throwback to older games like KOF 94-95. It's well known that KOF 13 makes a ton of throwbacks to 94-95 for some strange reason.

    I played soccer as a kid and was always drawn to characters who would kick the sht outta their opponents so I'd always pick Kim Kaphwan and Hwoarang from Tekken.

    I think you missed Kof Kyo. Even if it is not a fighting game. Also, the portable versions.
