One mistake you mentioned, Igniz didnt kill his father in front of champion team. In fact, his father was dead long time ago and he was the one control the whole Nests for his own lunatic purpose ------- to be a god.
he mentioned that in the K' video.
How did he become a god?
@@ThomasRemes He didn't
Lovable Igniz is powerful but he didnt want to be a god. He already thought of himself as god. Thats why he said if people doesnt want a god then he'll be a demon that will destroy the world.
While the *"Orochi Saga"* refers to the struggle for survival of mankind, the *"N.E.S.T Saga"* is like the struggle of mankind against themselves.
tama sir... Pwede nilang gawing anime ang KOF at ung studio na gagawa eh ung gumagawa ng Attack on Titan
That is why I love about the NESTS saga.
I like how the villains are humans.
Not an evil god, not demons, aliens...
All the bosses of the NESTS saga are humans.
I like how the NESTS saga showed the darkest side of humanity.
Krizalid was the idealist follower who is a real good and caring person but have to do an evil work only to be killed off by his superiors... he is a real tragic villain.
Clone Zero gives an impression that he knows too much things to consider himself a lesser evil, but his actions ended messing all things for friends and foes alike.
Original Zero is a tyrant, he may have his qualities but in the end he will kill anyone who threats his organization status quo, he is too blind to see all things that he does not stop his clone or Igniz and overall was just a tool for a greater evil.
Igniz the disilusional god wannabe who despises all humans around him, a good mastermind behind the saga but he falls in the villain ball in the end, he fail to realize what Kyo, Iori or K 'discovers in the kof tournaments...to surpass all their limits and fight destiny...he was just an observer rather than a fighter.
Like the summary you made.
No shit
This series should be turned into an anime
Yep but they only did the Maximum Impact anime which its story is leading to KoF Maximum Impact 2.
@@aarongallardo3684 yeah that was a short one
ua-cam.com/play/PLpHVHGwF8uJeGEjCVcAPvmd93lrJ3Mk7P.html
I have a a short series in Another Day and the CGI one.
KOF Destiby...but they only covered KoF 94 and Gesse Fight
I think you are the first person to actually do a kof history lecture but bloody awesome love your vids I'm a SNK fan for ever
Neo Moon Sevin “your f*cking stupid you don’t know KOF at all.” -you
also an SnK fan.... woo! yeah! Shingeki no Kyojin!
SNK 4 LIFE!!
If you people are snk fans, consider joining my discord server. I'm trying to make a legitimate SNK fan archive, of course we'll have other benefits, like tourneys and game rooms, but I just need more people. Just comment if your interested and I'll post a link in a little bit
@@BoosterUM what's your discord
I never knew there was a backstory for ever character in Kof really appreciate your effort and love for this game.
Glad I could help.
Bro I recommend you check out his videos.He has done a great work on explanations of the kid fighters.Trust me it is worth your time and you won’t regret it.I am also addicted to kid stories by the way.
KOF needs an anime series it would be a huge tournament arc with different sagas that would be amazing if they do it right
KOF Destiny....
sadly only KoF 94 tournament season, still waiting for the rest of Orochi arc.
Also yeah you're right, but each season coudl be like each season in DB that ends with a tournament, like a more realistic DB thing, KOF has potential my man...
NESTS saga was insane, clones and gods oh my.
@oliver closehoff In any sense he's a KOF Blasphemer.
K' is one of my favorite characters in the Kof Franchise..... Now I can relax.... Thank you for telling the story of Nests Saga
You forget to mention this: yuki was about to get kidnapped by NESTS but iori prevented this. Benimaru scolds kyo for his negligence in contacting Yuki, though they both understand that it was needed to protect her.
00:25 - Fun fact in case you want to ask. King of Fighters XII was actually going to be the next chapter after XI. Problem was that SNK had budget problems and they needed more time so they kind of released XII while they worked on spiffing the game up for the inevitable XIII.

Truly a good saga that itself should be a tv series with the number of tournaments being the number of series. 3 tournies that are focused on the best cartel makes it 3 seasons
You forgot to mention that in kof99 the hero team met Kyo in the end while they were escaping.
Of course but I'm not sure is this was real or canon
@@luuduonghy659 It is Canon though. Why wouldn't it be
NEST was pretty much my favorite saga by far
Silvermoon same it was hype despite 2001
It's like the android and cell saga from dbz
2nd best for me. I like orochi saga.
Same.
It introduced the best team,
(Foxy, K9999, Angel and Kula)
Too bad we will never see this team again :(
Too bad that it could've been much better if it weren't for the bankruptcy.
K:Fire
Kula:Ice
Maxima:Earth
Krizalid:Wind
Zero:Dark
Igniz:Light
Shouldn't goenitz be wind?
@Lord Voldemort u mean me
Krizalid uses fire too!
How about K9999?
You forgot nameless
This channel is Underrated like the Game.
I honestly felt bad for Krizalid when he was killed.
This was very informative, i love K' and kula.
In the past, I never liked the NESTS saga. It was confusing and I didn't get what was going on. Now that you've clearly explained it well, I have a new found respect for the NESTS saga. Thanks man!
One of my favorite storylines ,I remember buying kof99 at gamestop and loving it and then I got 2000 and 2001 on the Sega Dreamcast, good memories
Its not just about the lore, but your way of telling it and adding more jokes and climax made these vids so good 😭
I hope you can read my comment because I just put you in first to watch list
Seriously? After all that Kyo and Iori still wanna duke it out? These guys never let up...
Iori is the one who cant stop, its literally in his veins to get crazy
Yeah, as soon as Iori got his flames back in the Ash saga he challenged Kyo immediately during Japan Team's coronation (KOFXIII).
He could've saved himself from his cursed bloodline but he chose to embed the Yasakani Jewel back just to kill Kyo.
It's in their desinty. And no i'm not being poetical, this was literally set by what Orochi did in the ancient past, and Iori's bloodline curse.
Imagine Goku vs Vegeta, but with even more of a predefined natural reason other than Vegeta's saiyan pride
Or like water and oil - mexican, latinamerica saying -, they would never actually mix.
That's a good rivalry for you and why KOF is a good series XD
In a way there like Goku and Vegeta.
@@xm_heecka.laddder.job_mx5962Yeah and they just hate each other
The NESTS saga in a nutshell:
Benimaru: Kyo's missing.
Shingo: Kyo's missing?
K': Hi Im K'. Can i join your team?
Benimaru: K.
Kyo: Hey guys Im back.
Shingo: Hey guys, Kyo's back.
Iori: I'm here to kill Kyo.
you skipped quite a lot of details, especially about Kula, but overall a great job!
What did he missed??
@@aarongallardo3684 she had a lot more involvement in the events that occured during the NESTS saga, but he will probably cover it when he'll make a Story Of Kula Diamond video someday.
It’s called a brief summary for a reason, not all details would be mentioned
Also he made a who video on kula if your interested.
In other words, the Nest Saga gave birth to my best main. Kula. Yes!!!!! Shes too precious!
Nameless, Kana Isolde, Kula Diamond and K'Dash are my favourites.
“Except 12 maybe it wasn’t that good”
I love this channel now.
Fantastic!
Nests saga had a much more sci-fi story which I loved, and you were the first to explain it so I understand it all!
His voice alone makes the history on each video amazing. Keep it up, luv the vids.
Glad you enjoy it!
I have absolutely no idea what he's saying. But the combo of whatever it is that Maxima yells out, mixed with the sound of that huge punch special move connecting (at 2:40), was one of my favorite parts of this excellent game.
Excellent job. I didnt know snk had such stories when you put the games together
With time, i learn to like more and more the Nest saga, Nests was fucking dangerous, and have A LOT of story behind.
I always see that the Nests Saga as sort of an allegory to SNK as a whole. By the late 90s, SNK was in trouble financially. Consoles such as the Neo Geo CD and Hyper Neo Geo 64 flopped. And then they released the Neo Geo Pocket Color and that flopped too. It's then that SNK would end up being bought by Aruze... until October 22nd 2001 when they pulled the plug on the company.
In a way, things in KOF has changed with a terrorist organization that desires world domination. Sure, it's cliche but it did give us a new protagonist, new characters and an intense story. This is well done but hey, all of this can be wrong so who am I to judge? I love this series cause it's just rewatchable.
If KOF was a series I would watch it.
Kof Destiny is a cg series about the beginning of KOF. One season for now but it's on SNK's UA-cam channel.
@@trevormcdermal Season 2 is currently in limbo but there is a movie coming up.
@@trevormcdermal KoF Destiny doesn't do the story justice.
Very cool idea to add some gameplay with the characters named before. It really feels like we're following them trough the story, and add some breaks too.
I've been playing the game since 94 and there is not much story about the character, thank you
you're welcome.
im a KOF dan since i was in the kids grinding in the arcades, love this content man coz KOF has definitely one of the best story arcs, good job my friend i subbed :)
I feel like Benimaru’s just the tagalong for every protagonist
Aka: The Lancer
You forgot to mention that k' hit him with a move so hard that it made the whole space station tremble.
What move?
@@aarongallardo3684 "Crimson Star Road"
Where is it mentioned in the game?
I began my KOF experience with the NESTS saga and as such it holds a special place in my heart. Great video!
Since KOF releases stateside were so sporadic back in the day, this was the first complete saga I played. I was very confused by all the "Orochi battle" references in '99, haha. And while I dig the 2001 arcade intro, the PS2 one is my favorite.
probably the best arc of KOF.. well thats my.opinion :)
What a great video.
The lore of KOF is one of the best in fighting games next to Tekken.
MK lore was also great...until MK11 with all the retcons.
Edit: Looks like SNK has fallen in the same mistakes as NRS
They made retcons in the story of the NESTS saga.
Especially the events of 2001...
Honestly I enjoy the MK lore till deception. Not too hot on Armageddon or the reboot story wise...
At least KOF has been consistent all the way through.
@@DestinyZX1 Not anymore.
SNK made retcons in the story of KOF
For example
Changing Vanessa'd backstory in KOF XIV
Now she is not a widow and she lives with her husband who is alive now.
Other big retcon is about the story of 2001
K9999 no longer is canon and was never in Team Nests in that year.
Instead Team NESTS were only Foxy, Kula and Angel and they never participated the tournament.
Angel was the one who attacked Foxy and betray NESTS alone.
Yeah...it is stupid.
I HATE RETCONS!
@@meganinten0078 as do I. I hate retcons. Only reason why they removed K9999 to begin with was due to similarities with Tetsuo from Akira
@@DestinyZX1 Yeah but they did a mess with the story of KOF 2001
My favorite saga is ruined now...
At least they could mentioned him in the story but no.
SNK hates the poor bastard that much.
The actual writers working in SNK are terrible!
I keep binging this channel and always come back here. Re-watchability my friend love all the SNK and yes the Metal Slug videos as well. I'm so glad someone said it, if you like kof you like metal slug for a different SNK experience. Let's hope we get Krizalid in 15!
You rock!
99 was my first and favorite game.i thought krizzalid was incredibly cool and offered pretty decent challenge but i guess not everyone agrees
I agree 👍
How about a video about the origin of the king of fighters tournament? And why was Terry Bogard so famous...
@@ShoryuGame yes i know, but it would be like a pre-lore of the KOF if you will just explain how the king of fighters tournament started before Rugal adapted it and hosted it minus the Terry Bogard story will be just fine.
Or just to make things simple just do the 94,95 kof lore the one that rugal hosted would be fine I know its too difficult connect how KOF tournament really started to the lore, by the way thanks for replying
This is my favourite saga of the entire series!
The most harderst boss in the kof series is Ignis
nope. magaki is the hardest.
@@fightingforce8498 I still can't beat that bastard to this day.😠
Rugal
The King of Fighters series: Final Bosses That Make You Scream FUCK!
Rugal Bernstein 2002, 98
The Nests saga was great.
My favorite.
K9999 was my favorite character of that saga.
Too bad he was erased by SNK 😞
Maybe he was too OP
If K9999 wasn't a walking case of plagiarism, they probably woulda kept him around 😂
Thank you, for explaining the lore of one of my favorite fighting game series
… Did I just see Fio Germi from Metal Slug as a striker in one of the clips of ingame footages.
METAL SLUG. IN. A CANON KOF GAME. AS MORE THAN JUST ENDING CAMEOS.
The NESTs Saga is my favorite arc and... I ADORE Kula and love playing as her and K'.
Greatly explained. Would of been nice if you spoke abit more on K9999. He gets overlooked alot
It's sad because he was copyrighted, even though he looked fucking cool.
NESTS vs Shadaloo Would Be Epic Battle Between 2 Most Evil Organizations In Fighting Game
I actually liked 12, although incomplete it was a way for them to make some cash after taking on such a huge project. I wish when they released 13 they would have kept the same zoom as they had in 12, I loved those huge detailed sprites.
My favorite saga.
The story was great.
The new characters were awesome and very memorable and introducted my favorite team of all time, NESTS team (K9999 rocks btw)
Fun fact: as of KOF XIV, NESTS was actually planning to create their own Orochi Team.
Kyo: Kyo clones, K', Krizalid, K9999 & 2K2 Kusanagi
Goro: Angel
Benimaru: Sylvie Paula Paula
I was waiting years to know the full story and for these videos on snk thank u soooo much. I be on UA-cam for 2 hours watching all your work and it's beautiful thank you.
Kof99 was my first kof and k-dash being my favorite character, but I never knew the story it was hard for me to follow especially since there were previous games I didnt know what was what, I love the kof franchise and these videos are the best and now I finally know about nest, I knew k and whip were siblings and i thought K was a krizalid clone, glad I found your channel bro keep it up
"The NESTS Cartel - A Power syndicate that rules the underworld"
Geese: Yo dude what the fuck?
My 2nd fav arc after Orochi, great vid
I don't know how anyone could beat characters like Goenitz and Igniz.
You’re doing god’s work my friend. Subscribed.
NESTS: create clones
Clones: you aint my dad, now Imma betray you
Didn’t even know these games HAD cutscenes.
Awesome awesome video! Thanks for this Christmas present and can't wait for the next one. Glad I found your ch.!
I love the King of fighters games but never understand the story :D
thanks finaly understand it
That video was so good!! I'm looking forward to your next uploads man!
I at least thought 2002 Unlimited match was meant to be canon because of the whole Nameless/K9999 shebang. To avoid copyright issues with K9999 as a character, they made Nameless as a canonical replacement. Kof 2002 um is the only game in which Nameless is present so I kinda figured that it was that way. At the very least, if the game itself isn't, it seems like his character is canon. Because if your going to change a character to avoid copyright issues, then it would stand to reason that the new iteration of that character is the canonical version of them and the old one is not, otherwise, what's the point?
They never know who to pair Iori with :D
The NESTS saga is the best of them all.
One would think they'd learn from the other tournaments that there is always a blimp or ship you don't get on to avoid fighting game bosses 😂😂
no, they literally jump in to save the day and face the danger, they know lol
Imma say it every damn time! Nest Saga is the best saga!
Would love so much to hear more of Foxy. She was only in kof 2001 but she definitely stole the show
Don’t forget Whip has a gun and shot Zero’s head on JP Version
I just realised
NESTS is part of “Those from the past”
ShoryuGame in the good endings of Kof 2003, there’s a silhouette of a old man with a big sword and nests has that as well)
The NESTS saga is quite hard for me to follow with all the NESTS agents characters that come and go, forming different teams from games to games, and the bosses that wears similar outfits. I need a refresher every now and then.
Trivia, the town that was destroyed by Clone Zero's cannon? South Town
Great video, keep up the great work! Do you have an HD version of the thumbnail's picture?
Like the king of fighters sagas should be their own series. As much as the tournaments can hype the audience, the best that the king of fighters can do is to humanize the fighter characters. Even have fights outside the tournament. Maybe have some conflicts that revolve around people or an organization.
Zero and Igniz still give me nightmare... Igniz made Kof 2002 Omega Rugal and Kof 97 Orochi look like child's play.
I am the the real boss.
No, he was just a pawn, I am the the real boss.
No, no, he was also a pawn, in fact I am the real boss.
No, no, no, for sure I am the real boss
I understand stories about secret organizations are like this, but I wish they could have been more creative.
The level of power is one layered beyond all imagination.
Kinda like the Cell saga and its villains changing many times
Thanks for this video. Lost track of the storyline of KOF after Orochi Saga.
Can’t wait for part three. Thank you.
Ah yes Igniz . Nozomi doori ni...TEN KARA OCHIRO!
Y O U L O S E
that's what i call it an original idea, keep it up bro
Good job
Please do the history of Mizuchi how is it various of Orochi
I like this video! Now I can learn more about kof. Ahahah.. I'm a athena asamiya player. And til now I have no idea what the story board of this game is about. I'm Sorry I might be seem idoiot but! Hey! I like the game lol it self and not really paying attention to the story. But thanks for you vid I learn more about this game.and love it it even more!. I'm your new subscriber! 💕✌😊
In 99, if your score is more than 300, Kyo will appear right after you beat Krizalid.
Seriously bro which country are you from?? Your accent is dope as hell
Krizalid is one of the more tragic bosses, like for as powerful as he was he was little more than a delusional puppet engineered to be delusional and then die when he wasn't useful anymore. You definitely can see why K9999 is dick after that happened there's no guarantee they won't do that to him.
I miss k9999
Angry snakes saga
Terminator saga
Tales of anime trap saga
Volcano saga
XD
This saga is even more Epic than Orochi's one... It would be interesting seeing what they would come up with in KOF Destiny instead of K9999 as he was a total Tetsuo ( AKIRA ) ripoff
Poor Kyo
I didn't know the clones started from Kyo winning
I want this to be an anime series please...
Love what you're doing. Can we get Terry Bogard next?
YES!!!
ur channel is gold.
I do appreciate you taking to the time out of your day to explain the story and the three sages from kof 95 to kof14 it seems to confuse a lot of people cause of the in-depth storyline but could you do me a favor can you explain the story plots from 2 kof games that were made on the gamboy advance? Why the kyo Iori and Chizu clans were known as the strongest and what happen the remaining seven clans??? And can you touch on the kof maximum impact saga as well. Kof 2006 was a gem in the ps2 era.
Those are non canon
Which one??? Maximum impact of the two kof from gameboy advance???
GBA and Maximum impact are not canon. They are just spin off.
heroshen it make sense why they did what they did and how quickly it fell under the radar
at first I didnt like your voice but I think it grew on me and you have a very strong storey telling about KOF
Despite his non-American accent he has a deep respect of KOF lore.
Maybe you've been taught to racist since it was your first reaction to hate on a non-western voice.
Well... You didn't told us how kyo and iori survived
Name a better Bro than Maxima
