Man back in the day, i literally had NO ONE to play this game with, hardly anyone I met even knew of its existence and it’s mostly because there weren’t many fighting game lovers I met and I mean people who actually saw the little things within the game. People who didn’t mind losing or winning because they came for GOOD fights.
I played this game almost daily with my friends through out high school. We were all around the same level and would get draw games regularly. Great times
Yeah back in the day fighting games were very niche, and you had to live in a big city with a local arcade to find people to play with if you didn't have friends that played them already.
I wish they brought this back and updated all the cps2 sprites to look like the sprites that were new to this game. Those recycled sprites keep the presentation from looking perfect
As someone who used to play fighting games, but now just watches content, I can honestly say Smug is my favourite to watch. I love Brian Fs style, but since I don't play a lot of the information isn't something I'll use. Smug has great editing, but more than that he feels chilled and fun to watch. He's genuinely having a good time win or lose. I've nothing against Justin, punk and the like. But smug is just easy to watch, which is great for someone like me who used to take fgc seriously and go to the odd tournaments, but now works too much and whose gaming now is single player only
Silentscope’s “Just Defense” game with the K-Groove is a nightmare to overcome! Also, I’m kinda biased, but I’d really enjoy seeing you learning A-Groove combos as Rugal.
@freddyvidzs No it isn't. It's because SNK was in charge of development of the game. Whereas Capcom did the same with the Capcom VS SNK games. So I can see how you thought that because I did the same back in the day.
You're getting good in that game brother. Good how you're learning new characters constantly. Learn Vice next. Also you could've used your reversals instead of taking all that block string. Pretty sure A and C groove have the attack reversal mechanic.
Yo Smug, gotta tell ya something, I like what your Kim is shaping up to be. I can't help but feel like if you squeeze that Custom A-combo, you'll be able to get more outta him. Plus, parries! Yeah man you gotta do some parry to kick ass in this game. Sometimes you go all in, other times you stand back and parry, especially if your opponent has a full K-groove and coming in hot for you. I'd like to see you try A-Groove Sakura next and witness what you come up with. That oughta be cool (:
that minimalistic editing is great, with most channels i feel as if they hire the same dude for fancy editing what a time to be alive by the way, to have CvS2 with rollback, it's not console but still.
After 30 years of die hard fighting games I have noticed many titles go unnoticed and some of the best players you will find in either SNK games or SNK Crossover titles. These players are in a different class altogether especially the King of Fighters/ CVS 2 / and SVC Chaos players. Geese Players will put many on notice and even humble them.
More or less the case as of KOFXV. They used to be his unwilling students, former criminals undergoing rehab. Then they realized by the time XV rolled around they were fully reformed and didn't want to go back to a life of crime. That freak Xanadu weirded them out too much and basically scared them straight.
Didn't have any friends at school that knew of this games existence back in the day. But luckily... my older nephew did. He had it on PS2 and on weekends... I'd go and sleep over at my sister's place and play the game with him and his younger brothers. I always got washed but had fun nonetheless. If it wasn't for CvS2... I would've never known about SNK let alone KOF characters at all. Plus at the time, it gave me new stuff to draw/sketch. Great times. Great, great times. 👍🏼👍🏼💯
CvsS 2 is one of my favorite Fighters. Which system are you playing this classic on in 2023? I enjoy playing the Dreamcast version using Redream on my PC and Steam Deck.
I liked that a groove terry combo ryo has some nice ones with genka dance and his fireball cause it's actually good in this game and you can guard break if you thumbs doesn't get tired lol
Great video. As far as characters for A-groove, honestly, probably stick to the ones you're using now. If I can get my hands on this game I'd probably take kyo, Terry and Ken and maybe yun through all the grooves to see what I like. Keep it up though boss
Not a fan of some of the edits. Taking away from my Smug time😅 I'm lovin the progress I see in you though my brotha 💯 leveling up nicely! keep pushin✊🏿🔥
Yo what's the best way to play these games? I finally got a gaming laptop with retroarch on it with most roms. I need to dl fightcade I presume. Do the same roms work or do I need a different batch? Also I don't think CVS 2 is on it? Is it? Any help is appreciated.
@@bigshorty4855 CVS2 is on it and both works. For me fightcade is really good, but you need to have an ethernet cable to reduce lag sometimes. NullDC Bear is another method to play but I find fightcade to be so much easier.
4:48 bro, Chang was throwing that ass *back* 😂
Love how this comment got pinned😂
I don't why when I read that comment and remembered the moment in the video I immediately thought about Sir Mix A Lot ahahahaha
literally bruhh 🤣
The chang dumpy
@@AHorseThatIsARadish the Chang gang

I was in the same boat with you back then. I absolutely LOVED this game, but had to play it alone.
I played this game almost daily with my friends through out high school. We were all around the same level and would get draw games regularly. Great times

Same bro I played this so much with no one else’s to play with. Still had the most fun by myself.
I still don’t have anyone to play with. Been 21 years…
The sprite animations look so clean and fluid. This is why I like oldschool video games..

1:30 gostei muito do combo do Kim Kaphawan, show
Its unreal to see KOF go from this to what it is today
How a game can be so good after 20 years.
Same reason a game can be good after 40 years.
That big guy looks like Braun Strowman😅😅
No lie this game is fire the customization the characters the music the stages gah damnnn
4:48 infinite blockstrings, the fighting game lol
I've learned to love this game
Hopefully we'll get a CvS3 someday 🙏
SNK and Capcom are on good terms now, so it's probably going to happen a couple of years down the line.
Wasn’t that on Xbox?
@@freddyvidz You MIGHT be thinking of SvC Chaos.
@@SpaghettiSAM_YT That’s not part 3?
@freddyvidzs No it isn't. It's because SNK was in charge of development of the game. Whereas Capcom did the same with the Capcom VS SNK games. So I can see how you thought that because I did the same back in the day.
I’ve played silent scope on fightcade before as well, man’s is godlike. ggs on our set as well in cvs2
I dig these outros. Nice little reflection at the end of a tough battle
When people are still playing a decades old game, you know they're about to be straight up nasty.
Man, this game is always so much fun to play and watch.

Chang took u to the cleaners... I've never seen anybody play with Chang so well
Need to start giving these mamajamas towels to dry off with after they get wigidy washed with the greatest of ease.😏
love seein you play this, my all time fav fighting game!
11:03 ayo cool combo
5:01 😂😂😂
Dig these cvs2 videos. Just getting more into the game myself and it’s good to see others learning as well.
4:54 *BROKEN*
9:14 That's the best intro ever. I love this game so much.
that minimalistic editing is great, with most channels i feel as if they hire the same dude for fancy editing
what a time to be alive by the way, to have CvS2 with rollback, it's not console but still.
Yooo watching this makes me want to play this game again 😂😂😂 love it
I love playing CvS2. I hope it gets remastered one day.
10:56 OH NOOO🥴 ACTING‼️ LIKE😵💫YOU🤷🏾 WON'T 💀GET😶 COMMAND 🙌🏾
Thank you, finally someone used Kaiser wave. I’m like did every rugal forget about that move
@12:07 chang best win pose.😊
Chang vs. Todo in the first match. I love it

You going to be at CEO this year? They're bringing the PS2 version of CvS2, controllers & all!
Bro s*** got real in this one lol
MY FAVE 2D FIGHTING GAME OF ALL TIME. CVS2, NOTHING LIKE IT.
In case you didnt know , Chang and Choi are Kim's friends . That's why they have that intro .
More or less the case as of KOFXV. They used to be his unwilling students, former criminals undergoing rehab. Then they realized by the time XV rolled around they were fully reformed and didn't want to go back to a life of crime. That freak Xanadu weirded them out too much and basically scared them straight.
@@vulcan422 Xanadu is a religious booty Warrior that's why.
Team Korea 🇰🇷 KoF98
Silentscope's Rugal is so much fun. In loved his weirdo a groove block strings
Why does the video keep getting stretched? Who did the editing?
Didn't have any friends at school that knew of this games existence back in the day. But luckily... my older nephew did. He had it on PS2 and on weekends...

Casual sets is the best sets.
Casual sets with a friend is even better, no falling out afterwards.
CvsS 2 is one of my favorite Fighters. Which system are you playing this classic on in 2023? I enjoy playing the Dreamcast version using Redream on my PC and Steam Deck.
8:43 I've been playing this game for years and I didn't know you could juggle that into super
I liked that a groove terry combo ryo has some nice ones with genka dance and his fireball cause it's actually good in this game and you can guard break if you thumbs doesn't get tired lol
Another Chang enthusiast 👍😏
That Kim is ridiculous! 🔥 🔥 🔥
is this on fightcade, how is the gameplay with capcom vs snk 2 any lag?
Yo Smug are you still getting that clan started on SF6 ?
YES
@@SMUGDaBeast Bet!
Smug i was wonderin will you be touching Project L and Tekken 8 when they release?
A groove combos, is M.Bison, Sakura and Rolento.
I'd love to see some Kyosuke A-Groove combos.
We got those right here: docs.google.com/presentation/d/1B25jIZLKu5I78SUkspwnJf2EoTj0IqkiTweyO8IxlHU/edit?usp=sharing
Have fun!
MORE SNK HELL YEAH SMUG
Rising Taco! 🌮
haha WOW that was incredible!
Homie should have used the three headed trio that consists of brothers terry & andy bogard and they old homie joe higashi
Chang showing smug what them cakes do in the club!
Still the best game the last 20 years.
One of the best fighting games of all time. Top 5
Once I saw Todo, I knew it was over.
You’ve gotten better I see! I def I to play you again
What are you playing on?
Great video. As far as characters for A-groove, honestly, probably stick to the ones you're using now. If I can get my hands on this game I'd probably take kyo, Terry and Ken and maybe yun through all the grooves to see what I like. Keep it up though boss
5:01 Yeah whatever you playing Let me know ok
Nice Kim!
Smug IS the top player. Absolute beast with Kim. Smug is best there is
This game was ahead of it’s time
Smug play Todo now ?
You already play Todo. He have some sick A groove combos. I hope you eventually get the C groove Chun. She’s so fun in this game.
how can you play this game online which console
So many great fighting games before fighting games scene,man you need to play Martial Masters (Arcade PGM).
Hi smug can you please let me know what platform and how cvs2 played on and how you play online
He’s playing on PC and he’s playing online using Fightcade
Chang is my favorite to play. I just wish I had mastered him because he is a problem.
Smug, if you want a fun game based on streets of rage, I recommend you Streets of Fury. A real treat.
VDO still plays I think also. Eagle has some nice a groove combos
I’d love to watch you play kof 02
More MVC 2 ...Best figthing game ever!!
If you are going the A groove route you should add dictator or blanka to your team.
Yawn 🥱
Awesome video of u the greatest of all time playing Capcom V/S SNK very much enjoyed your game play!😊🎉
Change is a problem.
huh-WWWHAT???? 🥋
Smug, you was actin' like you couldn't get Command Grabbed...
Smug... enter a CVS2 tournament. You can hang with the top dawgs.
KNOWKAMI COMEBACK TO US!!!
En qué lo están jugando? Comenten
Your Kim can go toe to toe with anyone! A groove Kim 👍
Let's see some combos from Hibiki, Hanmaru and Kyosuke🙌🏿💯🔥✊🏿
Smug pick up rock. That's my main
I'm so intimidated on playing against others sometimes but it's fun
todo is my fav, to goood
Do svc chaos next !
Justin Wong made a video from this mith too kkkkkkk
justin wong of course...he will teach you how to fly 🤣🤣🤣
You need to go back and watch that set you had with Justin Wong. He was killing you with the cheap custom combos 😅
Not a fan of some of the edits. Taking away from my Smug time😅
I'm lovin the progress I see in you though my brotha 💯 leveling up nicely! keep pushin✊🏿🔥
Try Haohmaru and Hibiki!
Wow 🥰🇵🇭
I think that’s silent scope
Djimon HounsWHO? 😂
Yo what's the best way to play these games? I finally got a gaming laptop with retroarch on it with most roms.
I need to dl fightcade I presume. Do the same roms work or do I need a different batch? Also I don't think CVS 2 is on it? Is it?
Any help is appreciated.
Bro I don't need a heart, I need some info 😂 😅
@@bigshorty4855 CVS2 is on it and both works. For me fightcade is really good, but you need to have an ethernet cable to reduce lag sometimes. NullDC Bear is another method to play but I find fightcade to be so much easier.
@@PlasmaEternia thanks I'm gonna try to set it up. I'll ask for help again if it fails.
