****EDIT**** One error in the breakdown, its been so many years I totally forgot his command dash had the parry built into it, thats what that is in the trailer, I am only remembering now lol. Here we are with our first character specific trailer for Fatal Fury City of the Wolves, and that is Marco Rodrigues returning! Khushnood Butt no longer, his name is unified worldwide now! He's bringin that hard hitting shoto lifestyle to CotW and looking fantastic in game! Since we on Evo Japan time its a late night/early morning upload so any likes you could spare for the algorithm heavily appreciated! That said watch the breakdown and let me know what you think!
My guess is that the trailer with first 5 counted so that means the only way to find everything on offer for those characters is through expos and betas
Marco made his transition into CotW fantastically, basically everything he was in Garou and more so... yeah kinda awesome. Here's hoping all the other characters and their trailers will be of this quality cause this one hit it out of the park.
I hope City of the Wolves includes stage introductions similar to the ones from Mark of the Wolves, though I think SNK first used them in The Last Blade series
@@bigshorty4855 those examples from KoF are kind of different, in The Last Blade and Mark of the Wolves you had a view from the stage from different angles and its name, a character introduction, a phrase in the case of Last Blade and a description of a character's martial art style in Mark of the Wolves. KoF 2001 and Rage of the Dragons later implemeted a stage introduction similar to that from TLB and MotW
Speaking of Marco's relationship with bears, he's based on the late Willie Williams who fought a bear on recorded video, which earned him the nickname "Bear Killer."
I mean if we were to get an AoF character playable in this game it would most likely be Mr Karate 2, but I would personally prefer King or Yuri. Realistically though they'd be fine just making cameos in Marco's ending (the Sakazaki's and Robert all play pretty similar to Marco anyway).
Guy is supposed to be a Brazilian, why the hell they named him “Butt” in the US localization back in 1999? Little sidenote: His name was already Marco Rodriguez in Japan. Some years later, Brazilians fans contacted SNK and requested to change his official name to Marco “Rodrigues” with an S in the end, a VERY common name here in Brazil (Rodriguez with Z is more common in Spanish-speaking countries) and to drop the "Butt" nonsense completely. SNK abided our request.
I think they changed his nationality in the old US version. Butt is a Fairly common middle eastern surname and I suppose he could pass for middle Eastern visually
Same reason they changed Balrog/M Bison/Boxer name in the US version of SF. There was a fighter from the US named Ricco Rodriguez that they claim they didn’t want to be compared/sued by.
There was a Brazilian Heavyweight MMA fighter named Ricco Rodriquez. Marco looks nothing like him and doesn't use the same martial art. I never understood SNK's rationale. It's not like M.Bison/Balrog situation where M.Bison/Balrog's SF2 portrait was straight up Mike Tyson and he was former heavyweight champion boxer.
If I remember correctly. In K Butt's (heh heh) stage, before fighting he and a bear do a cross counter kick before bowing to each other (it's been years since I've played Garou: Mark of the Wolves).
Super awesome video, Rooflemonger. I am happy, excited and hyped to see Marco back in Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves. I also liked the Kuma reference at 1:34. Keep up the awesome content 🤠👍🏼
Fun Fact: The nerdy student with the glasses from his original Garou ending is in the background as well as the Karate bear from his intro. He's on the far left of the stage.
Never played any SNK games but damn, this Marco dude seems like a better Sean tribute than whatever capcom did in Street Fighter. Also he got that super awesome oldschool design with the pompadour and sideburns
I don't know how you managed not to play any of the great games throughout the years but no...there's no comparison to be made with Sean other than Nationality maybe.
@@neoyakuThe MOTW retcon probably made him from the Middle East instead, that explains the change. Do you know the Tekken player named Atif Butt? It's not as disrespectful as you think.
I was playing kof13 global match like a week ago and realized he's in the dojo stage. I was surprised to see this appear, it's like when you start seeing a car everywhere after you learn about it.
Man I can’t wait for this game. Amazing artstyle, fun looking combos, cool characters, great stages. PLEASE SNK have the game fully working at launch, I’m more hype for this game than I was for SF6.
My fav. character from Fatal Fury is back! He is also one of the best shoto as well (alongside Muhammad Avdol). The Neo Geo controller & G-Mantle's face being on the climbing gym is a nice touch as well.
9:27 I don't know if anyone noticed or I'm just halluccinating but it seems the super blows off some of the karate guys in the arena particularly the rock wall guy. You cam see some of the guys flying if you go in slowmo from the time stamp ( upper left of screen)
the move before the kouken ( the hadouken ) is actually a counter he has. He dashes forward and does the move if he is hit( Gedan Harai mid, Joudan Harai low )
Love this character, he's one of the two characters I like the most in Garou, he looks very accurate to his previous iteration, it's a shame it took this long to bring this character back.
I really like all of the kyokugen lore stuff. I like how they all have their own take on it and they have fun relationships with each other. snk stories are fun
Love that he’s coming back he’s my main and his design just works I think it’s the cool hair paired with just the most basic of karate gi; no gloves, t shirts or ripped off sleeves just a straight up and down karate guy who I looks like he hits hard like Ryo in kof 15
Oh boy I can't wait for all of Roolfe's CotW breakdowns, let's just hope the fighting game devs don't conspire to release everything at the same time again.
@@rooflemonger That'd be ruff, at least 2xk0 is free so we're not spending $120+ in 3 days.... Plus you'll have game trailers for games like Nin Impact and, hopefully, VF6 to keep you busy on the channel... Godspeed sir.
I'm so excited for Marco, when I first tried out Garou, I thought the Negative Edge stuff would be scary but it's honestly not that bad. Maybe cause it's just giant punch and kick, and it fuels my ape brain 🦍 Also, if the stage is called Yuri's fitness center, does that mean Robert bought it out for her? Cause he's a rich man 🤔
My favorite character besides Terry in garou! I’m a Ryo fanboy so when I saw this guy I was super into him lol also I just remembered Freeman exists so I wonder how he will be!
3:20 - It's not new. It's a counter move. Do hfb with kick and Marco does a small advance. It you press HK, he counters highs and with LK, lows. I think it's the only counter move where the character does a small charge fowards instead of just posing in place.
He looks like the ultimate shoto. He was already very comfortable in garou, but now he is on steroids. My favorite characters are already confirmed. I wonder who else we will get. 😁 Just... hopefully not Hokutomaru. Though i have a feeling he will return.
I hope that bear is WIP, because it looks warped AF, like they had a bear model and just rigged it with the human bones so that they could reuse the standing Karate pose.

I actually really love how straight forward his karate looks.
He has jiggle physics in his pompadour, he's perfect. I think this is the second time that bear has appeared in a stage after Neo Geo Battle Coliseum.
peak fanservice ngl 🔥
Marco had an intro where he sparred and then bowed to the bear after their clash
Wanted to say that 👍.

Love that his stage is in Yuri's gym. Who knows, maybe we'll see her and the other AoF characters aged up in Marco's ending.
Hopefully one of them would be playable.
I fear what will happen if you give people aged-up Yuri
Mr Karate II...
We might get Ryo as Mr. Karate 2
I mean if we were to get an AoF character playable in this game it would most likely be Mr Karate 2, but I would personally prefer King or Yuri. Realistically though they'd be fine just making cameos in Marco's ending (the Sakazaki's and Robert all play pretty similar to Marco anyway).

There was originally an MMA fighter with the same name. But they could have chosen any other name honestly to avoid trouble
To be fair, one of the primary associations with Brazil is a kush, nude butt.
I think they changed his nationality in the old US version. Butt is a Fairly common middle eastern surname and I suppose he could pass for middle Eastern visually

this bear is Marco's training partner, from his character intro. I wonder if every Mark of the Wolves character will return.
We just got grappler representation at EVO. Clark won the KOF XV grand finals.
Also, the karate bear is his sparring partner. In the stage intro for Marco, you can see attack each other with a flying kick
I love how his hand is literally on fire when throwing his fire ball.
Love Marco's hair.
Chad hair. Not just anyone can pull this hairstyle off. No zoomer crap for Marco unlike Eddy 😒.
Marco is here to kick some (Kushnood) butt
Marco rodrigues seems to be based on the real life karateka Francisco Filho!
Im so excited for this game
I LOVE this stage. so much depth
Super awesome video, Rooflemonger. I am happy, excited and hyped to see Marco back in Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves. I also liked the Kuma reference at 1:34. Keep up the awesome content 🤠👍🏼

Who honestly cares? I don’t think anybody was wondering that.
@satyrnchen6843 why be a dick tho ? Lol
If you're a fan, then you're a fan... If you're not, then you're not. @@Ibuybabyaliens
The armor move is a party move with high low variations it’s in Mark.
Parry move* phone won’t let me edit.
oh im a dummy i totally forgot the dash had a counter built into it, its been so many years lol
Really nice breakdown, Rooflemonger! I am going to miss seeing Butt on the life bar, but life moves on! :)
Marco looks awesome! Beyond excited for this game. Huge SNK fan!

@@willdiesel8431 haha no, i'm just joking about Sean. And SNK games are kind of obscure in my country, I grew up with Tekken.
Thank God, "Kushnood Butt" got retconned.
It was so disrespectful, Japan is not slick. Marco it is.
What do you mean?@@neoyaku
@@freddiecunningham2860 Japan has a history of turning black characters into stereotypes or jokes.
It was never Canon
@@neoyakuThe MOTW retcon probably made him from the Middle East instead, that explains the change.
Do you know the Tekken player named Atif Butt? It's not as disrespectful as you think.
I think I'm going to have multiple mains. Is that even possible? Great video, thanks for what you do, my friend! o7
I was playing kof13 global match like a week ago and realized he's in the dojo stage. I was surprised to see this appear, it's like when you start seeing a car everywhere after you learn about it.
he's made tons of little side appearances in other games, but yeah this is the first time hes proper playable again in like 25 years
@@rooflemonger chose the right time for his next appearance, from everything I'm seeing
Marco is looking awesome! Wow! The school has really moved on up!
Looks like Yuri took over management and the dojo went main stream!
The storyline could show it went for better or worse. Kyokugenryu becoming like Tiger Sholman's McDojos
Its been a long time since i get excited for a fighting game.
The stages are looking like they have a lot of detail just like the older and game that’s awesome.
This game looks SO GOOD. The 2D fighting games genre is eating so good.
marco rodrigues, the titular Marco the Wolves, finally returns
I love him. I can’t wait to see all the newcomers, and I hope the Kim boys come back!
Man I can’t wait for this game. Amazing artstyle, fun looking combos, cool characters, great stages. PLEASE SNK have the game fully working at launch, I’m more hype for this game than I was for SF6.
Can't wait for this game!
I hope his sound effects are just as good as they were when he was Khushnood Butt. His hits sounded like explosions.
I can’t decide who to main now. Damn!🔥
Anybody notice the guy who’s climbing in the background looks like he climbing on arcade buttons 😎🤙🏾
So already he has the best stage in the franchise. We need more karate bears.
My fav. character from Fatal Fury is back! He is also one of the best shoto as well (alongside Muhammad Avdol). The Neo Geo controller & G-Mantle's face being on the climbing gym is a nice touch as well.
Good point, never would have called Avdol a Shoto, but I can see it!

Shout out to the Mr. Karate mask hanging in the back
Great news. We only need now season 3 for KOF XV.
Not happening
I love how he's built like a baki character
the move before the kouken ( the hadouken ) is actually a counter he has. He dashes forward and does the move if he is hit( Gedan Harai mid, Joudan Harai low )
Oh very nice looking stuff here. I wasn't expecting to be this excited for the new FF but there's a lot to like.
Marco is back baby!!
Love this character, he's one of the two characters I like the most in Garou, he looks very accurate to his previous iteration, it's a shame it took this long to bring this character back.
possible the coolest shoto ever. i love marco
That EX-Tatsu-Sobat looks sooo good in CotW! 😱
This game looks stupid fun. I just hope matchmaking and netcode are great.
So far so good!
I haven't been into snk games all that much but this game looks really fun, I'm honestly getting pretty excited for it
@3:33 Marco actually had this move in Garou: MOTW.
yes its the command dash, i totally forgot it had the parry attached to it, I changed the pinned comment to reflect
I cant wait for Mai and Bjenet.
Marco Pollo is still rocking the Rooflemonger haircut 🔥🥋🔥 Can't wait for this game... Enjoying this Evo Japan, how bout you guys?
so cant wait for this game
I really like all of the kyokugen lore stuff. I like how they all have their own take on it and they have fun relationships with each other. snk stories are fun
My most anticipated fighting game. I need it in my blood stream right now
It's Black Dynamite!
Marco precedes black dynamite by a hot minute lol
@@rooflemonger I know I know I just love that show so much 🤣🤣
Will probably be my first Snk fighter, can't wait to try it!

Never played this before. It looks like fun.
This guy's moves look super fun! So far... This might be my main!
This game looks soo good
The dash forward with the counter hit is in the old game ⬇️↙️⬅️+👊 high counter ⬇️↙️⬅️+🦶 low counter
Looks like Kuma's got a new master. 😄
Anyone who can teach a bear karate has my respect!🐻
Marco the Wolves
Damn, this game's looking better and better.
At 3:30 that move is influenced by ryo tatsu lp hp move from kof 98. The move has a slight auto guard property to it
I love the style of this game like UI and Cel Shading graphics it reminds me Streets of Rage 4
I'm so excited for Marco, when I first tried out Garou, I thought the Negative Edge stuff would be scary but it's honestly not that bad. Maybe cause it's just giant punch and kick, and it fuels my ape brain 🦍
Also, if the stage is called Yuri's fitness center, does that mean Robert bought it out for her? Cause he's a rich man 🤔
yuri ain't affording a gym on a homeless karate persons salary. Robert probably bought it for her on a whim
@@rooflemonger for sure, and unlike that NFT bum, Ken Masters, Robert earned his money fair and square 😤
My favorite character besides Terry in garou! I’m a Ryo fanboy so when I saw this guy I was super into him lol also I just remembered Freeman exists so I wonder how he will be!
Now that I get to hear somebody yell out "Kokyu ken ryu Oogi !!!", I'm fully onboard !!!
Looks good!
Funny I said that Marco was my main if he comes out and he became the first character to be here
Love me some negative edge and I think this design looks sick… am I going to betray my weirdo character values and play a shoto? 😅
I like this look more than KOF's by a large margin
The graphics are beautiful! Remids me the new Samurai Showdown!
They got Khushnood Butt in this jawn? Now THATS a shoto
Alternate title: Butt Makes the Marc(of the wolves)
Marco looks as rad as he deserves, but I am gonna be disappointed if he can't flex his gi off.
Found my main if I buy this game.
Im not a fan of shotos but that bear in the back.. i wanna play as them.
On the far left the Mr Karate mask is hanging up 👀🤔
He was always Marco to me.
ha ha, Rooflemonger definitely been repeat watching SNL bevis and butthead skit
I haven't watched SNL since the 90s so I dont think so?
@@rooflemonger oh wow, I assumed thats where you got pompadour from. no worries
I hate the green praticle effects on impacts. Marco looks dope.
I watched Uncle Valle practice for hours learning Marco. Are the breaks super easy or Garou hard? I wonder.
its just hit lp+lk when the move hits generally for a brake, its not particularly difficult.
oh damn, it's black Josuke
Let’s see if this man can “stand” up against a man with stand
Badass
So I just realized something watching this back: if this accurate, then it means you’re no longer limited to one break move per combo like Garou had
3:20 - It's not new. It's a counter move. Do hfb with kick and Marco does a small advance. It you press HK, he counters highs and with LK, lows. I think it's the only counter move where the character does a small charge fowards instead of just posing in place.
He looks like the ultimate shoto. He was already very comfortable in garou, but now he is on steroids.
My favorite characters are already confirmed. I wonder who else we will get. 😁
Just... hopefully not Hokutomaru. Though i have a feeling he will return.
We got Mai and Andy coming its almost certain, hokutomaru the rat can stay home hopefully
I saw what you did with the video tittle
Whens robert tho 🔥
I hope that bear is WIP, because it looks warped AF, like they had a bear model and just rigged it with the human bones so that they could reuse the standing Karate pose.
