Even if I'm not a KoF fan, I'm so happy to see that the devs have found their groove with 3D. The past game was very rough, but I can get behind the new artstyle and animations.
@@KusanaG11 Only 2 years of development. To be exact 2 years and 5 five months to today since the development of Samurai Shodwon (2019) ended (SNK only has one fighting game development team), that is more impressive for any fighting game today.
So far I'm getting a bit better with Shermie, but I need to work with the other female characters. Once this game gets released I can finally play Mai, Leona, and King again.
Not really, her hips are a little too big and doesn't look natural for a 3d game, or maybe it's okay but by the way she moves in her idle animation it looks like she broke her back
@@unmer3306 Played around 100 matches and I gotta say this game is going to be awesome, all the characters on the beta looks balanced (some more powerful than others but still ) the gameplay is really clean and fast, online system were amazing since I can't remember 1 time a match was lagging that much like kof 14, graphic looks good, the flames from Kyo in particular looks the best and I gotta say the Shun ei flames looks trash especially his blue one but apart from that the rest looks really good. Definitely going to buy the game If I gotta money cuz this game is expensive as fuck
I’m so glad Max is having a great time with this game and has been coming out with these bangerz. Also how he breaks down the net code pros and cons from his experiences as we watch. It’s like following his review of the game by including his thoughts through gameplay. I’d prefer something like this over a regular type rapid fire review of simply talking about the individual gaming experience and not including gameplay. Also watching Max’s matches is always exciting observing his gameplay and team assembly.
@@sean_image on the one hand, it WOULD be nice to see Shingo get his longdesired w, not gonna lie... ... Buuut if he ever actually learnes how to throw fire or be the fighter he dreams of being, would he REALLY be Shingo?
@@goranisacson2502 I believe they can balance him out. Kind of like they balance out Dan and Sakura in street fighter 5. Personally intaked but maintains a certain amount of seriousness during battle.
I really hope with this game that the mexican FGC escene really stands out and we can see a few mexican fellows in the next EVO. There is really an entire culture here around KOF.
This hurts to say but every kof hardcore fan I know refuse to play anything above Kof 2002. Most don´t even consider KOF 2002 to be a classic game, because "it´s too recent".
@@ACSMEX I feel like lot of those people will probably stick to 98 and 2002 forever and never give the new games a chance. Maybe if it was sprite based again they would idk.
I love how Max went from someone who sarcastically acted like he was super interested in Chris when he couldn't care less, and then ironically started liking some of the stuff he could do.
He knew. You can see him do it a few times, one being at 15:19 . It's just not safe to throw out air dash into an opponent as your ass is going to get anti-aired for locking yourself in an animation in the air unless they're in corner or some other negative circumstance.
Man, the new music themes are so good! SNK always on point, and the new versions of "Bloody", "Goodbye ESAKA" and "Sadistic Eyes" are definitely PERFECT!
The beta was a blast! I had very little connection issues and the gameplay and visuals are definitely improved from 14. I've never been into Yashiro in past but out of the featured characters in the beta I enjoyed playing him the most. I had faith SNK would deliver but the rollback performance honestly did shatter my expectations 👍👍👍 I'm so glad to see SNK and KOF get more of the recognition and praise it deserves.
Max was so hype for Chris you can only see his reaction from his twitter. Jokes aside Chris really does look fun to play. As is Shunei despite the way he looks. Can't wait for the rest of the roster to come out.
My guess is that the characters are loaded on a per match basis, so in order to remove that mini loading screen, they'll have to load all 6 characters before the match begins, which means longer load times. So either load them all at once and you're waiting for like 30 seconds, or just load them one by one. Though maybe they can load the characters during the first match in some way, but seeing as the loading screen stutters inbetween rounds, maybe that's not a good idea either.
Hope to see a dlc wit every Orochi character such as Iori,Leona and Yashiro Team aswell as the 3 stages of Orochi Team aswell,they cannot miss this opportunity i mean it must happen.
Chris has the moonwalk animation since his first appearance in KOF 97, really glad the devs managed to translate team new faces to 3D so well, really hope their Orochi counterparts becomes available at some point.
Got to play online and I got stomped! Definitely gonna stick to offline play when the game is released. I enjoyed playing the KOF15 demo. I'm looking forward to the game on release.
Sorry to hear the online put you off, bud. In my experience, KOF is definitely one of those games that takes a minute to wrap your brain around. So gobble up those L's like you're Pac-Man until something just clicks and you start making some moves of your own. Good luck.
@@mrmidlife2546 Thanks. I'm not gonna quit play because of my losses online. Not the first time playing fighting games online, I'm just old school. I'm used to playing locally or arcade modes. I just need my girl Mai back. 😁
The WAIFU LEVELS of Shermie are off the charts! If I do ever get this game, she’s definitely a Main Candidate! Also Kyo! There’s nothing wrong with going with a badass!! 😁 Glad this Beta network test has shown this game is better than I thought!
Sometimes I wish I could see Max’s chat whenever he says something like “Sub mode”. Like what did chat do that made Max have to shut it all down like a miffed history teacher?
Dude... I can't make it out clearly.. is that a FIT Big Bear to the right? The one on the left looks fresh outta Saturday Night Slam Masters, strangely... But nahhhhh ..
What? According to most "boomers" last "real" KOF was 2002UM, and Rock wasn't in it. I guess wanting M.Bison or Ryu in Street Fighter makes you a boomer to? Stupid ass meme.
I like that characters have special interactions with each other. The one between Chris and his teammates was wholesome as hell.
This is like it used to be back on the old games.
Older snk games oozed personality as far back as 94
Then you should check 98UM and 2002UM... There's a TON of special intros on those titles.
This is one of SNK things. It made some matchups even cooler imo, seeing the rivalry between two characters and such.
Chris: SHEEERMIEE
Shermie: Hi!!!
FIGHT!!!
Even if I'm not a KoF fan, I'm so happy to see that the devs have found their groove with 3D. The past game was very rough, but I can get behind the new artstyle and animations.

@@tropixx_xlr1549 Thank everyone complaining about how ugly Andy's face was in KOF14
I still can't get over Shermie's redesign. She looks good, as do several other female characters.
That's why i love Japanese developers they make everyone look hawt or cute depending on the character
So far I'm getting a bit better with Shermie, but I need to work with the other female characters. Once this game gets released I can finally play Mai, Leona, and King again.
Coomers rise up!

This beta was honestly really fun. Honestly more fun than some of the more recent fighting games this generation.
Fighting games are making a comeback after a big lul
I agree. I absolutely love this franchise and had a blast with the beta. Keen for more

My dream team would be Goro, Hinako and Shingo as new team Japan as dlc.

8:04 what I came here for. Glad you enjoying the game Max.
Hey, pretty off topic but who's that character in your profile pic? She looks pretty cool
@@luishenriquez4171 same
I'm glad you're not only enjoying the game, but also finally coming clean about you're true love for Chris! 🤣😂
And Shun'ei, y'know FAVORITE CHARACTER
@@badconnection4383 if only he had a backwards moonwalk, I'm sure Max would main Shun'ei over Rock lol
Chris deserves all the love. ^^ Missed him and CYS like crazy.
I love how Max went from someone who sarcastically acted like he was super interested in Chris when he couldn't care less, and then ironically started liking some of the stuff he could do.
Can’t wait for the next Max intro to have Chris in it
If only Max knew that Shun can actually air dash forward, he just needed to do the quarter circle forward.
He knew. You can see him do it a few times, one being at 15:19 . It's just not safe to throw out air dash into an opponent as your ass is going to get anti-aired for locking yourself in an animation in the air unless they're in corner or some other negative circumstance.
how sad is it that I asked myself "is Mai gonna be in this game" and for a good second I forgot she's actually a KoF character not DoA.
Fatal Fury character
Max seriously has the best video opening theme on UA-cam. It sparks joy and happiness.
Man, the new music themes are so good!
SNK always on point, and the new versions of "Bloody", "Goodbye ESAKA" and "Sadistic Eyes" are definitely PERFECT!
Opa, e aí Sano !
0:47 can we talk about the gold in Iori?... Like damn that looks REALLY good on him 0.0
That Kyo string was cleaner than the moonwalk
"Let's use Kyo's good combo" *activates quick max mode* lol
The beta was a blast! I had very little connection issues and the gameplay and visuals are definitely improved from 14. I've never been into Yashiro in past but out of the featured characters in the beta I enjoyed playing him the most. I had faith SNK would deliver but the rollback performance honestly did shatter my expectations 👍👍👍
I'm so glad to see SNK and KOF get more of the recognition and praise it deserves.
Yashiro combos were always cool to see
0:40 that's me omg
Yoo
The art style in this game looks great makes me want to play the game.
I'm so glad they brought back the old school character interactions from the old titles
Yashiro's new design reminds me of Maxima's alternate costume from the Maximum Impact series.
Heh. Both guys have big sideburns XD
I was always curious if that was intentional
Max here secretly and slowly liking Chris as he keeps playing as him.
I love it.
0:46 hooray for Sadistic Eyes. Best Iori theme.
Chris Moonwalk @ 20:27 to 20:30 in the video. SNK # 1 crapcom #2 or less
Max was so hype for Chris you can only see his reaction from his twitter. Jokes aside Chris really does look fun to play. As is Shunei despite the way he looks. Can't wait for the rest of the roster to come out.
Max: did this kid just moonwalk
....Chris has been moonwalking since KOF 97...
did max even looked at the movelist shunei has has forward command air dash not just back ..
That Kyo combo at the start was clean
Max. I know it. We know it. Your hearts of hearts knows it. Rock is DLC bound
The projectile effects look beautiful in this game.
I just want them to fix Ryo's fireball.
They look like his throwing orange juice😂😂😂
But the others are beautiful.
Spellbinding and majestic
Game's looking clean af. Just hope they "fix" this black screen transition when a new character is coming.
My guess is that the characters are loaded on a per match basis, so in order to remove that mini loading screen, they'll have to load all 6 characters before the match begins, which means longer load times. So either load them all at once and you're waiting for like 30 seconds, or just load them one by one. Though maybe they can load the characters during the first match in some way, but seeing as the loading screen stutters inbetween rounds, maybe that's not a good idea either.
That's been in every KOF. It's a loading new character thing
Fix for what? The transition is fine as it is. It gives player a room to breath. People love to complain about the dumbest shit possible.
?????????????
There are more important things to be fixed, like audio glitches and one-sided rollback.
It is pretty cool to see these videos in which Max is still learning how to play some characters
Kind of crazy how recoloring shun'ei makes him objectively more functional as a character design
Been moonwalking since KOF 97.
Great beta, better then when GG Strive did their 1st test. So happy they are taking time on this release
16:36 bro i didn't know they had Charmcaster from ben 10 in kof15
*Uh...did this kid just Moonwalk!?*
Yeah, since like... his first fucking appearance XD
So glad to see my Chrisy boi again.
I like the bars a lot in this game, the meter moving makes it a lot easier to see how much you both have without actively looking at them.
Hope to see a dlc wit every Orochi character such as Iori,Leona and Yashiro Team aswell as the 3 stages of Orochi Team aswell,they cannot miss this opportunity i mean it must happen.
I've been playing KoF since '94. The game not year. I wasn't even born at '94

I'm getting this one for sure.
the first guy is an old school kof gamer just by the way he plays I can recognize that style
Bro Chris has been doing it since day one lol moon walking all day max nyc!
Riot of the Moon Walker.
just from watching a few matches it's clear Chris is the tippi toppiest of tiers
Chris moonwalks. Yashiro break dances
Can’t wait for Orochi Chris 💜
Yashiro and Chris were my favorites from the demo - really hoping I vibe with some other characters as strongly as those two
Chris doesn't have to be so smooth with his moonwalk
Ah. Another Max trying out a FG video. Just made my day 50x times better
Am I going to wind up buying another fighting game that I will be absolutely terrible at? Yes. Yes I am.
Max "WTF is this Chris kid"
He have backwalk moonwalk
Max " Sold"
Max can you try Chizuru pls?, She has some mixups you'll like her
Asking Max to play characters usually doesn't work
The WAIFU LEVELS of Shermie are off the charts! If I do ever get this game, she’s definitely a Main Candidate! Also Kyo! There’s nothing wrong with going with a badass!! 😁
Glad this Beta network test has shown this game is better than I thought!
Just watch the trailer showing ehr introduction. That's all imma say. 😂
Sometimes I wish I could see Max’s chat whenever he says something like “Sub mode”. Like what did chat do that made Max have to shut it all down like a miffed history teacher?
Max keeps Chris in his blonde costume to pretend he's playing as Rock.
I've had a lot of fun in the beta thanks to combos the gameplay is really great
Awesome gameplay can’t wait for the game the mechanic looks awesome and smooth!!!
It should be a new rule that a Chris player has to begin every round with the moonwalk.
Damn, the art style and character design is pretty nuts compared to the last game. Very eye-catching
Can we talk about the crowd and the band in the second match? That looks a bit rough
Chris is top tier everytime he appears, mostly because of the moonwalk!
The neutral in Kof is interesting, quite methodical.
You’ve heard of tip toeing in Jordan’s before but have you heard of moonwalking in TIMS
Dude... I can't make it out clearly.. is that a FIT Big Bear to the right? The one on the left looks fresh outta Saturday Night Slam Masters, strangely... But nahhhhh ..
Your eyes are not deceiving you. Character designs are definitely going to their roots. It is about time
Yeah; Yashiro, Chris and Shermie are in a band together (also why they are team Orochi). I learned that from KOF ALL STAR.
Hey max just wanted to let you know your old stuff is relevant as well , I’m still on your nioh 1 play though and loving it
if there’s any 2 specific kof games that got me into the kof series its kof all star and kof 15
Seeing Yashiro makes my heart melt 💗❤
Purple Chizuru = Charmcaster
Someone had tweeted to not play if you have WiFi…like isint it that whole point so they can fix it and make it better?
Edit:spelling
Netcode can't make miracles if you use unstable and variable connections like wifi is
"Can't do forward air dash"
*proceed to do it*
Glad to see you playing KOF Max. Did you see KOFAS is doing a collab with Guilty Gear starting tomorrow??
Chris always been moonwalking lmao
glad to see jump in combos alive and well in this day and age
Is no one gonna talk about the Bart Simpson Chris colour?
Chris moonwalk was priceless
I guess he forgot about Chris retreat animation. It was always like that since kof 97 lol
Forgot? You mean don't know. Max wasn't really a KOF player back then so he doesn't know shit
@@shawziiz5031 Oh ok

Max mode OK!
Max unironically playing Chris, damn.....
No more Maximillian Wesker it is.
So Chris is like Rock's replacement lol
I wonder if Max's opinion on shun ei and Chris has changed after playing them for the beta
This Chriss kiddo reminds me of the Gallerians main character
Yo I was online this moonwalk shit threw me off 💀 🤣🤣
Chris always been like that.
I cannot play the open beta anymore i just started it up and my play period is over shit man😢 i wanted to maybe play it for my youtube channel
shunei has a qcf punch after his forward LK , then you can follow up with his tatsu motion attack
Dude moonwalks 🌙
