Carlos Augusto Well most endings in the KOF games are canon for that specific team, but each game has a true ending that requires a specific team to get. For this game, you’ll need the Sacred Treasure Team (Kyo, Iori, Chizuru).
And in the majority of the games you can take the "team ending" playing with one the characters in single mode. Kof is made to play in teams but if you are playing to see the endings you can use this method.
Iori thinks he's an edgelord, but he's in a jazz band and his only two confirmed kills come back from the dead like every single tournament just because.
He is a typical emo/edgy character from the 90's. And it's funny to remember how people loved this character, lol looking at Iori nowadays, I can only feel the cringe. On a more positive note, it's surprising how Terry aged well. The engrish remains hilarious and the design is not super forced.
I get what you say but lets be real here, KOF (and most fighting games to be honest) are not bright in the story department. I mean do we really care of the story of a game were the same people goes to the same Tournament over a dozen times to Fight the same guys and EVERY SINGLE TIME they end fighting with a villain over and over?
"Orochi's Blood has awakened. Gnarly! Let's do it, dudes!" - Iori, commenting on Leona's Riot of The Blood. Just this quote alone destroys any oxygen I had in my body for a few minutes. That's early 90's SNK localization team for ya!
@@Hirridok I don't like Chris either. lmao He just looks... reaaaaaaaaaaaaally stupid. As for Kensou, I dunno. I never had any beef with him personally. I thought he was alright (even if he gets friendzoned by Athena in EVERY SINGLE KOF GAME lol)
I think this is the KoF with a whole bunch of hidden team endings as well as endings for all of the default teams. But this particular team gets the generic ending.
@@SoukaDeezNutz The One team is an 98 special team. One of the funniest teams in 97 is Clark, Ralf and Athena. They end up dressed as their original costumes, Clark and Ralf with their Ikkari Warriors and Athena and Kensou as the Psycho Soldiers.
Terry Bogard. Meets a dark god, proceeds to beat the shit out of it. "The true evil is man" Max:"What did I do....?" Awww, he sounds genuinely worried.
"No music, so they went Dark Souls with this?" Well, if you consider the full titles of the boss characters.... - Insane Iori with Blood of Orochi Under the Night of the Moon - Awakened Orochi Blood from the Darkness Leona - Chris of the Destiny of Flames - Shermie of the Savagely Crazed Flash of Lightning - Yashiro Nanakase of the Parched Earth
Literally, Chris's ultimate attack in KOF All Star is his named after his full title, and he transforms into his red/Orochi form, using his fiery specials before transforming back.

I miss the whole teammates watching in the background thing. It gave you neat little things like Mary stomping her feet in anger when a teammate loses, Goro's teammates jumping up before he does his ground pound because they know it's coming, stuff like that. Fun fact about Shermie, she actually has the largest bust size out of all the ladies.
@@budgiecat9039 They had to remove it due to the Striker and Tag System from the Nests and Ash arcs respectively. Interestingly sometimes when you are near your team and your opponent grabs you, you press ABC then a teammate jumps in and knocks you free. Only been able to do it once though, and I main KOF
@@budgiecat9039 The absence of Kuroko in the new Samsho game is a bad sign to me that they dont want to bother implementing that. I Hope i'm wrong about this.
I love how both Kyo and Iori just has their backs toward the entire fight that Terry's on. Just look at the fight guys, no one is buying your too cool to look attitude.
i'm loving this series so far, i'm from Brazil e here the KOF's games were the shit in the arcades. This games were part of my childhood e see you playing then is awesome.
Crazy Leona is even more terrifying than crazy iori. She's so scary. It's even more terrifying because of her walk speed Chris is orochi's avatar. He's using Chris's body to fight
I don't know alot about KOF besides owning Capcom vs SNK 2 and that's not saying much lol. I was always a Street Fighter kid growing up but she was definitely startling as a mf. I've seen orochi irori? (if that's the right name for him?) but never Leona like that. She went straight horror movie on Team 'Hands'.
My first time playing KOF '97 was via the Orochi Saga collection for the Wii. It was a used copy, so when I noticed that the game didn't have much music I thought that there was something wrong with the disc. Then I found out that there was nothing wrong with it, that's how the game is.... I was rather surprised...
I have to respect Terry's commitment to his hat throwing shtick. Dude will throw it on the ground to celebrate beating one guy, then pick it up to continue fighting that guy's buddy.
It was always weird to me that this game didn’t have music throughout the stages, pretty much only leaders of teams had themes. Terry, Athena, Kyo, etc. (well outside of the “97 Special” Team, in that one Yamazaki, Billy, and Blue Mary all get their own themes from past games) At the same time tho I do sort of like it. The ambience sort of adds to the atmosphere of the game. I will say tho I was definitely disappointed in Orochi as a boss, his design was ehhh and he was too easy to beat, especially after coming up against guys like Rugal and Goenitz. He didn’t feel like he was as big of a threat even tho story wise he clearly was the strongest. Other than that tho I think ‘97 is great, especially gameplay wise.
@@manuelmateo3392 Yea the Orochi New Face Team fight was a great build up man, it gets you so hype for the Orochi fight but then he's a dud. I always hated that.
@@x-Abraham-x2 Yea "Mizuchi" or whatever his damn name was, was a pain in the ass. Kind of funny how a clone of Orochi ends up being harder to beat than the real thing himself.

Gnarly! Lets do it dudes! 90's SNK fighting game dialogue strikes again. You should play art of fighting 2 for some hilarious lines from Geese and a secretary
Given that max is playing these on the normal difficulty for the legacy it may be easier. Emphasis on MAY. Magaki is a piece of shit as I'm sure most of you already know. Thankfully Robert Eiji and Ex Kyo can get some insane damage on him provided the ai doesn't feel like an asshole. Terry is also amazing in XI. Here's hoping max plays Kof XI and maybe does KOF boss rages in the future.
I believe that this ending was just the generic one that everybody gets..... whenever they use a custom team instead of an official one. If you had used a Terry/Andy/Joe team or a Kyo/Goro/Benimaru team, then you'd have seen a partially-the-same, but unique regular ending for each team.
Yes. Also i think originally Kyo and Iori were supposed to be dead since they sacrificed themselves to kill Orochi. Also sucks that Kyo's waifu is dies
@@mynamajeff2229 they were same with Kyo's girlfriend. They dropped the girlfriend dying and they changed the fact Kyo and Iori died because of backlash from playtesters of 99 not seeing them on the roster.
@@trashman680 yeah, Kyo and Iori were popular. We all know that SNK wanted to make a new protagonist who later on is K'. Still kinda cool that if you earn enough points on 99 you can fight either of Kyo or Iori.
He might skip It though. Because It doesnt add much over 97 and It doesnt even have story. At least he skipped 95 for a similar reason... (And 95 even has story)
And ironically, 95 is one of the pivotal games in terms of lore and story wise in the Orochi Saga... it is _IORI’S FIRST APPEARANCES, OUR FIRST LOOK INTO HIS RIOT BLOOD, OUR FIRST LOOK AT THE OROCHI POWER AND MORE HINT TO HOW SUSPICIOUS MATURE AND VICE IS_
Considering how much the Real Bout series remixed or re-used older tracks, I'm shocked this game doesn't. Which is a shame, because I love the stages and overall UI of this game.
Reason for no music in 97 is because SNK want it to be more atmospheric The only curtain characters have themes: Terry Kyo Iori Athena Shingo Billy Blue Mary Yamazaki The New Faces team (Yoshiro, Shermie, and Chris.) And The Final Bosses.
Iori's head is so small for that huge body he has. EDIT: During the win screen after the first match when he's giving his win quote is what I mean. Not his regular in game sprite (which is fine).
Goosey Geese Clone Zero was a pushover in KOF00 much like Orochi was in KOF97. Of course, this was remedied in ‘98: Ultimate Match and 2002: Unlimited Match where their AIs were upped considerably.
That Orochi Leona, too! Comes out of nowhere, but it works so well! That fight single-handedly made her one of my favs the first time I played through 97.
4:30 I love the nice touch they put where you have teammates reacting to the fight. You can see Kyo reacting to Terry getting hit on the far left. 17:36 I love how animated Joe is in the background! Hahaha!
I always found interesting how this game took a lot of story and design notes from the “Fatal fury: the movie” anime it would be nice for max to watch the last fight, it’s a must for a Terry fan.
this legacy run is 50% of all the Terry Bogard history I wanted to learn since he was announced for Smash (aside all the media adaptation of KOF and Fatal fury) Its so fun watching Max clearing those games
My local arcade that opened up last year's got two KOF games, 13 and this one Never have I been able to reach the final bosses no matter the amount of quarters I stuck in
Orochi has something in common with the KOF NESTS boss Zero: both of them are bosses that have been cloned. Orochi's clone is Mizuchi and Zero's clone is Cloned Zero.
It's a shame that he isn't in the base difficulty. So many lost chances at boss rages. Also, reason that Billy threatens Iori is because in 95, they were partners, Iori lost it, and kicked Billy's ass

So close to kof 98. The essential title on the franchise.
He might skip It though. Because It doesnt add much over 97 and It doesnt even have story. At least he skipped 95 for a similar reason... (And 95 even has story)
And ironically, 95 is one of the pivotal games in terms of lore and story wise in the Orochi Saga... it is _IORI’S FIRST APPEARANCES, OUR FIRST LOOK INTO HIS RIOT BLOOD, OUR FIRST LOOK AT THE OROCHI POWER AND MORE HINT TO HOW SUSPICIOUS MATURE AND VICE IS_
Laughs in KOF 2K2
18:25 is why SNK AI is the best: Dodge super, moon human opponent.
Man, you gotta respect the storyline in KOF. They were so awesome...
They are not, lol there's not a single fighting game franchise who have a good story. Maybe Soul Calibur and the latest MKs, if you force the issue.
Yes, the whole Orochi arc is great. The NESTS arc is very good too.
yeah, but shoopdawoop chargin my laser Leona face is... suspect.
Yea i always loved the lore and story of KOF. Especially the Orochi Saga. Nests is good too. The only saga i didn't like was Ash's.
Besides Nests, Kof lore is great
Considering how much the Real Bout series remixed or re-used older tracks, I'm shocked this game doesn't. Which is a shame, because I love the stages and overall UI of this game.
Reason for no music in 97 is because SNK want it to be more atmospheric The only curtain characters have themes:
Terry
Kyo
Iori
Athena
Shingo
Billy
Blue Mary
Yamazaki
The New Faces team (Yoshiro, Shermie, and Chris.)
And The Final Bosses.
"Curtain characters"? I'm unfamiliar with that term. What's that mean?
Specific characters.
@@SuperFusionAJ93 Oh. And here I though I might learn something today.
Oh this is my favorite sequences of bosses from any fighting game ever
I love how Iori's in the back admiring everything else BUT the battle until his teammates land a hit. C:
Iori's head is so small for that huge body he has.
EDIT: During the win screen after the first match when he's giving his win quote is what I mean. Not his regular in game sprite (which is fine).
One of the first popular emo characters, he and Cloud sums up the late 90's, early 00's
All the KOF97 win portraits have wierd proportions. Terry's deltoid/shoulder is bigger than his head.
You should see Chizuru's. Her win portrait cracks me up every time
@@muckamuck Oh god, her head is so tiny!
Yeah despite this huge build-up Orochi, ended up as one of the considered easiest boses of kof games next to Zero from Kof 2000.
Uh excuse me? Zero was a pain in the ass i have no idea what you're babbling on about partner, unless you mean CLONE zero
Goosey Geese Clone Zero was a pushover in KOF00 much like Orochi was in KOF97. Of course, this was remedied in ‘98: Ultimate Match and 2002: Unlimited Match where their AIs were upped considerably.
Yeah Orochi and C. Zero are actually a pain in the ass on 98UM and 2002UM
Orochi is too easy. Clone Zero is a little bit of a challenge compared.
Can we appreciate how BADASS the orochi team fight is?
The way the stage changes to match the character is sick
what about the soundtrack? one of the best in the entire series!
I agree with you my dudes.
It's pretty much why they're one of my favorite sub boss fights of the KOF series.
That Orochi Leona, too! Comes out of nowhere, but it works so well! That fight single-handedly made her one of my favs the first time I played through 97.
@@CyclonSilver True; I do fight her more though since i like playing with the Three Sacred Treasures team in 97 mostly.
GOD! The revival of SNK games and love for SNK has just filled my heart, god bless you Max!!
If you play KOF games with custom teams, you get the gibberish ending.
4:30 I love the nice touch they put where you have teammates reacting to the fight. You can see Kyo reacting to Terry getting hit on the far left.
17:36 I love how animated Joe is in the background! Hahaha!
Thanks for giving these snk titles some love.
Man Max's voice near the end was amazing
“Come on come on” classic tho
97 not having that much music wasn’t as bad, the background noise was a nice touch
Once the legacy is finished I hope someone puts together every "Max bullies Andy" moment, the voice kills me every time.
I always love when Billy Kane's theme comes in.💃💃💃
You should've pickedTerry, Andy and Joe to get Terry's ending.
I always found interesting how this game took a lot of story and design notes from the “Fatal fury: the movie” anime it would be nice for max to watch the last fight, it’s a must for a Terry fan.
the more I watch this the more I want to try out the snk king of fighter stuff. looks like a fun bunch of games
They are! You really should do it. They're cheap on steam so is a good time to try it.
Do It. Also, the older games around the 97-02 interval are better than the new ones anyways (except 99 and 01).
The knockout sequences in KoF have always been epic, from the animation to the sound effects to the voice work
When it turns out Humanity was the real SNK boss the whole time
I can’t wait until he realizes all of the KOF All-Stars Supers we’re from KOF XIII
It's kinda annoying how he dosen't know that already
ᗰᗩᗪ ᗷᒪᗩᑕK-TITᗩᑎ factual
@@k-tit2596 Indeed we are.
Can't wait for him to play 13, that game was the last best game, until King of Play doh took over
@@exitioregem8466 kof xiv home engine please snk doesnt used unreal engine yet.samsho looks great tho snk now know how to used unreal engine
King of Fighters '97 : _Orochimaru Strikes Back_
Kukuku...
Merci Max de nous montrer ces jeux légendaires qui ont marqués toute une génération.
At the end, we were the pinheads, children of an Ice cream maker
Even if they’re not his thing, Max playing through these SNK games brings me much joy.
One of the best KoF and fighting game ever.
this legacy run is 50% of all the Terry Bogard history I wanted to learn since he was announced for Smash (aside all the media adaptation of KOF and Fatal fury)
Its so fun watching Max clearing those games
Blue Mary when Yamizaki lost is funny.
That has to be my favorite losing teammate animation in KOF97/KOF98.
I still remember the first time i saw the Orochi Iori intro.... I screamed WTF!!!!
My local arcade that opened up last year's got two KOF games, 13 and this one
Never have I been able to reach the final bosses no matter the amount of quarters I stuck in
13 is much harder than this game.
@@Ticketman99 I disagree, XIII is one of the easiest in the series.
@@nadiasolano504 Impossible. There's *NO* KOF game easier than '97.
Kof 97 is one of the games I've played the most alongside with sfz3
Orochi has something in common with the KOF NESTS boss Zero: both of them are bosses that have been cloned. Orochi's clone is Mizuchi and Zero's clone is Cloned Zero.
Neo Geo Battle Coliseum is not canon bro
11:40: *Shows that they're friends
Max: "Trash! Get the hell out of here!"
It's a shame that he isn't in the base difficulty. So many lost chances at boss rages. Also, reason that Billy threatens Iori is because in 95, they were partners, Iori lost it, and kicked Billy's ass
In 95
@@TheIndigoBros92 Fixed it
The individual themes for the Orochi team in KOF 98, simply epic
10:56 Sure Max. Just ignore that temper tantrum Blue Mary is having in the background.
orochi has the power of input reading thats why he and his bois can know what your gonna DO
AMAZING VIDEO i keep loking foward for this legacy
