11:18 My favourite super in the game. The attention to detail that of the 56 hits this super does, the first 2 of them are melee, the first card is presumably a Joker, the next 52 of them are him throwing an entire standard deck of 52 cards, and the last one is the other Joker 😵
"Everything on this guy is like a worse version of what Kim can do." Max succinctly describes why Gang-Il is the actual least popular character from this game.
@@Slasher9485 I recall seeing a semi-official SNK poll where Gang-Il was the second least popular character, but #1 was Verse who's less of a character and more of a force.
Chang's level 3 is one of my favorites in the game simply for how he reacts when his opponent falls back down to Earth. I also love Clark's Super Argentine Backbreaker in this game moreso than its previous iterations because of its rhythm. It looks really funny if you do it on Sylvie.
That's impressive seriously and Yamazaki didn't learn any martial arts and yet he can beat the crap out of you. That's goes to show how dope Yamazaki is. Seeing him KOF XV got fans shocked especially ShoryuGame. He's glad to have his boi back and I'm glad cuz I like Yamazaki.
@@blizz44 To be fair Yamazaki well according to Shoryugame is one the best fighting characters ever created and I respect that. Having the sickest climax supers which is always a 10/10 or higher than that, fights without any martial arts not to mention he hates it and yet and do serious damage and have interesting personality that suits him I can see why people love Yamazaki. I'm happy for Shoryugame and other Yamazaki fans who are happy to see Yamazaki back in XV. Yamazaki is also interesting how he has a connection with the fatal fury series since that's when he was first introduced and the kof characters like the orochi team.
With regards to that K’ level 3, I am a huge fan of supers where the character tells the opponent to run away because they don’t want to hit them with it, but they can’t control it. Like Nago’s Blood Rage super
It never occurred to me that Nagoriyuki is actually telling the opponent to run so that they don’t get hit. It seems so obvious thinking on it, considering that he literally says “Run as fast as you can” and “Get away from me!”
@@leithaziz2716 He generally prefers not to kill his opponents, he would prefer to see them improve and grow. That super callout is quite literally "I can't control myself *PLEASE RUN.* "
I just wish his Triple Geyser would return where punches the ground three times for three geysers rather than one Power Geyser thats hits three times. I always liked that super.
I like the supers in this game, but nothing can compare to B. Jenet's new one in XV. The shoe beat down is one of the funniest non-anime supers I've seen.
KOF literally have multiple anime adaptations. I know what you mean by "anime" but it technically always have been. Same shit with Tekken being korean anime.
I loved how STUNNED Max was after he did Xanadu's Level 3 that he just said nothing and went to the next character. Can we all agree that he gave it an 11 out of 10?
Yamazaki has always been one of my favorite characters from KOF. Such a badass mix of a yakuza / biker gang leader and a smartass sadistic killer. Awesome character.
And it gets better tho the prop that hits you with in his level 3 climax changes with the arena. Details like those nobody mention that maje this dlc worth the deal
I'm really loving this week of pure KOF content. I love to see new people getting attracted to the franchise now that it's newest game is launching pretty soon
Xanadu's Level 3, Max's reaction, and me rewinding repeatedly trying to process what I've beheld... I am LAUGHING SO HARD!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 God, I needed that! Thank you for this gift!
Ikr? Such a waste of potential. Doesn't mean to be rude, but my point is... They're just reusing assets from KOF XIV, at least put some effort to make a new one. And i don't see the point why they didn't include all base roster from XIV, since they literally has the same animation. Imagine if they are doing a gimmick, like Bandeiras, Nelson, or Mian as unlockable/secret characters or something. That would be dope af.
Someone should go into KOF XV ranked and fight Max using Chris, Meitenkun and Athena. His annoyance would be off the charts. Also, if Sylvie ever makes it into the game, obviously replace Athena with her, duh.
34:20 Easily a ??? out of ten. The fact that he's completely speechless for what he just witnessed and immediately just said "nope, just straight up no to ALL of this. I'm done" is easily the best one in my opinion.
A couple things to keep in mind: 1. KoF14 supers are designed to be combo'ed one after the other, typically several times per match, so they can't be full-length cinematic experiences without completely bogging the game down. Whereas a Samurai Shodown super can only be attempted once per match, and probably won't hit regardless, so it can be a deservedly extravagant event. And 2. Some of these were the first supers that ever existed in fighting games. So to say they're not very creative is like saying classic rock isn't very creative. All that having been said, Benimaru's supers always suck, and Joe's consistently get let down by their effects. The art team never seems motivated when it comes to Joe Higashi.
I think the fact that Rock Jojo poses, he gets the wings, kicks your ass with and ultra and gives you a spirit gun from yuyu hakusho gives alone grants him a 10/10
Max, Sylvie's shtick is she's a busted product of NESTS that's missing a few of her marbles. Hence her loony as fuck costume. The weird start to her big super is basically her brain rebooting.
I know this will sound super rude but I'm speaking from the heart when I say none of that will matter while at the character select screen or during gameplay. For one, all people are going to see is a weird anime girl in a stupid outfit doing zany stuff, which will be incredibly polarizing for most and downright obnoxious for those not into it. But on the other hand, the addition of being a J-Pop will move her down to being a nuisance for most if they were to find that out. This is something I've explained before on Sugarpunch's channel, but Japanese Idols are an incredibly niche thing in the West no matter how you slice it. It takes normal celebrity worship over here in America and cranks it up to 11, then injects it with a creepy, nearly voyeuristic level of adoration that you're EXPECTED to have so the idol can sell more products. A lot of people are not going to be able to get behind that, so when they see Sylvie, well...
@@Impalingthorn nah, I getcha I'm just happy to share info if I know any other potential origins of something, hopefully delving too far into the "umm... ackshually" territory lmao

@@jakuth99 well at least they put more effort in 14, it has more content, and has an actual story while introducing new characters like kukri and luong who became fan favorites.
*Mui Mui* became my insta favorite of the newcomers the moment I saw her Supers. She is a full Dragon Ball reference 🐲🐉 Which makes sense since her franchise *Dragon Gal* and the classic Dragon Ball were both inspired by Journey to the West. I am going to miss her and Love Heart the most... Both gals are not longer from SNK 😢 At least they were playable in SNK Heroines.
#1 Tung Fu Rue's God Hand #2 Blue Mary's Dynamite Swing (Always a classic) #3 Chang's Spin around Special mentions, Whip's acrobatic act & Tuxedo Guy's gravity trick (it should end in a kick with the opponent flying and spinning for a 10 & #1)
Man, even though they did a lot of work to improve the visuals of KoFXIV, the difference between XIV and XV really is night and day in terms of visual quality. Anyone who still says XV doesn't look good is out of their mind.
One thing about Ralf climax that I only noticed pretty much recently is that he apparently Says "Mission... Accomplished" when walking out of the fire (which makes it 10x better)
I think out of all the characters that makes me sad to not see return to KOF 15 (at this point since we don't know the final two teams yet) are Chang, Kim, and Oswald. Also Geese's butler since he was certainly a fun addition (and kind of a shame we don't see him return either). As for "Could any of these guys come back as the last two teams?" I feel like Oswald is probably the only one who stands a good chance unless if it turns out Kim is going to get a massive glow up (with even baggier pants). Meanwhile, part of me even questions what team you can place him in if he was only apart of the "Hero" team in KOF11 with Ash and Shen. But hell, if he was a former assassin who had since retired, it could be a fun reason to pair him with Rugal just to put together a team of bad ass older guys (but now sure who you would make the third in that team).
I forgot when I first made my comment to make this one, probably been 3 years now since I started my comment chain! Finally you made KoF14 rate the supers! *Visible shaking* Now where's Tatsunoko vs Capcom rate the supers?
I always loved Ralf since I saw his Bareback Vulcan Punch super in KoF XI which was the first KoF game I bought after CvS 2 introduced me to KoF characters.
It blows my mind that Shun Ei's level 3 looks way worse in XV. Meitenkun's is super cool. Probably a 10 for me I like Nelson's level 3. It looks like a better and more impactful version of Street Fighter V's Luke. Terry and Kyo have better level 3 on XV too I wish they didn't recycle level 3s for some of the others
Just gonna put this out there for a historical lesson. So the multiple hit combination attack that Ryo, Robert, Yuri, and Takuma do is called the Ryuuko Ranbu. It's the move Max compared to a Ultra Combo from Killer Instinct. While the comparison is somewhat accurate even though the way you go about achieving them is slightly different, the visuals of the move looks similar. But a point I would like to make is Art of Fighting, where Ryo, Robert, Takuma, bad Yuri are from, came out in 1992 and featured this type of super move finisher first because Killer Instinct came out in 1994. So most people I know call any super that has a character charge at a opponent and do a flashy combination of blows automatically without player input during the animation a Ranbu super. Ultras require certain buttons to be pressed to alter it or get it going. If you wanted a closer comparison, Geese's Deadly Rave is way closer to an Ultra Combo since you need to continuously press different button sequences to successfully complete it. Just saying for clarification a d for anyone who cares.
I swear, man. This was one of the WEIRDEST KOF games I've ever seen. Sure you have your established favorites, but SNK took a LOT of liberties with this game in terms of the new characters. I mean...goodness. HATTORI BANDERAS?! And you just see how appalled Max looks with Xanadu who is just...well...hard to explain. I'm liking the roster of XV much better, to be quite honest. Can't wait to play it! But yeah, Max did a good job with this "Rate the Super." Kudos!
Since kof 13 I don't know why they removed the animation of triple geyser. It sucks because seeing Terry punch the ground with each consecutive geyser is cool.
I know Max is really hard on projectle supers, but I personally rate them a little higher if the projectile looks interesting. I think it's cool when you can make a beam super more than just another beam super if you get what I mean. So like, the super at 38:46 would fit here cuz that looks dope as hell.
I feel like I'm the only one that feels with some exceptions, KOF hasn't always been the best at awesome super finishers but again with some exceptions like K' tossing his glasses towards you. I feel this aspect in KOF isn't terrible but isn't their strong suit imo unless someone likes to refresh me on multiple finishes from KOF characters that are beyond amazing
Athena's super is not so good cause they always had all her previous versions showing up, but with this they couldn't do that anymore now that they use 3D models. But thankfully XV came up with a much improved version of this XIV climax.
im probably the only person who likes Sylvie. and i sadly realized she didnt come back in KOF15 despite one teammate did, maybe the dlc? also Xanadu gets my award of "why is this guy here? he is clearly not well and should get help." award. also beating the final boss with his ultimate is kind of hilarious.
Don't worry, you're not the only one that loves Sylvie. I love that cute little weirdo as well. I kind of feel like I'm one of the only people who loves Alice sometimes and I'm super sad that her and Sylvie didn't return.
@@ArcRay20 Yeah, Alice Garnet Nakata is her full name. She basically idolizes Terry and decided to take up fighting herself because of it. Her fighting style is a self-taught style called South Town Arts and is a mixture of moves from Terry, Andy, Joe, and even Rock Howard.
I remember back during the Terry Legacy Max saying he would do a KoF XIV rate the super, but he never got to it, probably cause he was distracted enjoying XIII. But its finally here, right before XV. Can't wait to hop on that one.
I don't think so, I more that in XIV they did a better camera work and they put some explosions during the super that gave it more impact (but honestly this super needs to be reworked).
I would say that Ryo's LV3 should stun like in the older games to give it some flavor, but considering how long the combos already are yeah maybe not. Just make him Mr.Karate 2 already, SNK. He would be sick and y'all know it. _It's not like you're putting Takuma in XV, right?_
Love seeing Max play through all the KOFs! I haven't played much of 14, I literally just bought it on Steam a few months ago (yeah I know, I'm hella late), but it's fun to play trying out all the combos/supers together. I'm like whatever on a lot of the newer characters and glad they didn't make it on the KOF tbh. Now if I could just beat the game at least once without it crashing on Steam smdh! It's all good though, I pre-ordered KOF XV deluxe edition 😅
In this episode of Rate the Super: Max is utterly stunned when an psychotic cult leader beats someone to death and finishes the super by finding GOD.

Should have added a full-on Virgo Shaka effect
I just realized KOF14 doesn't mirror their models costumes. That's really cool 👍🏾
34:06 I’m guessing that was a 10/10
Yeah I didn’t get the whole point of that bit. Was he satisfied or disappointed.
Who knows
@@JcgLounge Thats the joke.
#1 Tung Fu Rue's God Hand
#2 Blue Mary's Dynamite Swing (Always a classic)
#3 Chang's Spin around
Special mentions, Whip's acrobatic act & Tuxedo Guy's gravity trick (it should end in a kick with the opponent flying and spinning for a 10 & #1)
Ralf pulling a Sephiroth is something I didn't expect LMAO
These aren’t the most creative supers, but they aren’t bad either
What’s does this comment even mean? Lol
@@ZarelidT It means they aren't creative, but aren't bad. Pretty much exactly what it says on the tin.
@@HellecticMojo I feel like I’m reading words that say 1-1 🤣
@@ZarelidT What does that even mean?
@@HellecticMojo yo my knowledge 1-1 equals nothing
29:21 Vanessa really has all the supers I'd expect that new boxer character to have
Man, even though they did a lot of work to improve the visuals of KoFXIV, the difference between XIV and XV really is night and day in terms of visual quality. Anyone who still says XV doesn't look good is out of their mind.
One thing about Ralf climax that I only noticed pretty much recently is that he apparently Says "Mission... Accomplished" when walking out of the fire (which makes it 10x better)
I think out of all the characters that makes me sad to not see return to KOF 15 (at this point since we don't know the final two teams yet) are Chang, Kim, and Oswald. Also Geese's butler since he was certainly a fun addition (and kind of a shame we don't see him return either).
As for "Could any of these guys come back as the last two teams?" I feel like Oswald is probably the only one who stands a good chance unless if it turns out Kim is going to get a massive glow up (with even baggier pants). Meanwhile, part of me even questions what team you can place him in if he was only apart of the "Hero" team in KOF11 with Ash and Shen. But hell, if he was a former assassin who had since retired, it could be a fun reason to pair him with Rugal just to put together a team of bad ass older guys (but now sure who you would make the third in that team).
Oswald was going to be a team member for Iori alongside a newcomer in XIII but he and the newcomer got cut
They obviously had to push Kim back to ensure his pants are back to their former glory.
I forgot when I first made my comment to make this one, probably been 3 years now since I started my comment chain! Finally you made KoF14 rate the supers! *Visible shaking*
Now where's Tatsunoko vs Capcom rate the supers?
See you in another 3 years
Ralf’s supers made me main him in this game! Way too cool!!
I always loved Ralf since I saw his Bareback Vulcan Punch super in KoF XI which was the first KoF game I bought after CvS 2 introduced me to KoF characters.
The Xandu reaction killed me
It blows my mind that Shun Ei's level 3 looks way worse in XV. Meitenkun's is super cool. Probably a 10 for me
I like Nelson's level 3. It looks like a better and more impactful version of Street Fighter V's Luke.
Terry and Kyo have better level 3 on XV too
I wish they didn't recycle level 3s for some of the others
>Angel’s level three Super
“…I have to give them a 10 for even *going* there.”
Respect, Max.
Just gonna put this out there for a historical lesson. So the multiple hit combination attack that Ryo, Robert, Yuri, and Takuma do is called the Ryuuko Ranbu. It's the move Max compared to a Ultra Combo from Killer Instinct. While the comparison is somewhat accurate even though the way you go about achieving them is slightly different, the visuals of the move looks similar. But a point I would like to make is Art of Fighting, where Ryo, Robert, Takuma, bad Yuri are from, came out in 1992 and featured this type of super move finisher first because Killer Instinct came out in 1994. So most people I know call any super that has a character charge at a opponent and do a flashy combination of blows automatically without player input during the animation a Ranbu super. Ultras require certain buttons to be pressed to alter it or get it going. If you wanted a closer comparison, Geese's Deadly Rave is way closer to an Ultra Combo since you need to continuously press different button sequences to successfully complete it. Just saying for clarification a d for anyone who cares.
Never notices he hits you with all 52 cars then joker to get 55 hits after the first 3
11:22
I like to come to these and guess Max's score for each one to see how much we can agree.
I think we all do that
I swear, man. This was one of the WEIRDEST KOF games I've ever seen. Sure you have your established favorites, but SNK took a LOT of liberties with this game in terms of the new characters. I mean...goodness. HATTORI BANDERAS?! And you just see how appalled Max looks with Xanadu who is just...well...hard to explain. I'm liking the roster of XV much better, to be quite honest. Can't wait to play it! But yeah, Max did a good job with this "Rate the Super." Kudos!
At least all the series mainstays are here in KoF XIV, KoF XV has the nerve to remove Kim of all people.
What Ralf said at end of his lvl3 was *"MISSION COMPLETE"*
Ramon's 1st super only good looking on 2D KOF..
Since kof 13 I don't know why they removed the animation of triple geyser. It sucks because seeing Terry punch the ground with each consecutive geyser is cool.
Because back in kof Xiii they wanted to cut off the animations because It was a Lot of effort and money to create sprites
@@Viajanterj Makes sense. Still they could've brought it back in 14 and 15.
@@Spicypuff yeah, i agree. They ve been lazy with most characters but kyo, Iori, shun'ei...
Kof xiv may not have the best graphics, but had some of the best animations in the franchise
I'm expecting Angel's super to be a 10/10
You were right!
The sexiest CLIMAX alongside Luong's
@@meganinten0078 Kinda sucks they fall behind Chang's in that term
I know Max is really hard on projectle supers, but I personally rate them a little higher if the projectile looks interesting. I think it's cool when you can make a beam super more than just another beam super if you get what I mean. So like, the super at 38:46 would fit here cuz that looks dope as hell.
That's why I liked it. I gave it a 6 rather than a 4.
17:17 lmfaooo they actually went there
I feel like I'm the only one that feels with some exceptions, KOF hasn't always been the best at awesome super finishers but again with some exceptions like K' tossing his glasses towards you. I feel this aspect in KOF isn't terrible but isn't their strong suit imo unless someone likes to refresh me on multiple finishes from KOF characters that are beyond amazing
Personally, kyo's neomax in kof 13 is pure serotonin to land. Also a big fan of his and Ioris new supers in xv
"Damn they went there..damn"
17:16
Athena's super is not so good cause they always had all her previous versions showing up, but with this they couldn't do that anymore now that they use 3D models. But thankfully XV came up with a much improved version of this XIV climax.
Think that only happened like twice, from what I recall. 2002 and XIII.
You can tell that some Supers were created last minute while others were carefully thought out. Looking forward to whats KoF 15 got to offer 👍
definitely thought out worse, but hey we got dlcs
Time for Max to "Shatter All Expectations"
XIV graphics really go to show how gorgeous KOF XV is
Pre release graphics were even worst
@@picolete fax, they looked like a ps2 game
A stepping stone to something much better
im probably the only person who likes Sylvie. and i sadly realized she didnt come back in KOF15 despite one teammate did,
maybe the dlc?
also Xanadu gets my award of "why is this guy here? he is clearly not well and should get help." award.
also beating the final boss with his ultimate is kind of hilarious.
Don't worry, you're not the only one that loves Sylvie. I love that cute little weirdo as well. I kind of feel like I'm one of the only people who loves Alice sometimes and I'm super sad that her and Sylvie didn't return.
@@mattheworabone1317 im drawing a blank on that name, was that the girl with the Fatal Fury hat right?
@@ArcRay20 Yeah, Alice Garnet Nakata is her full name. She basically idolizes Terry and decided to take up fighting herself because of it. Her fighting style is a self-taught style called South Town Arts and is a mixture of moves from Terry, Andy, Joe, and even Rock Howard.
I always felt like her supers were a bit lackluster because she is still improving as a fighter and I'm hoping she comes back as DLC.
34:07- "I give that a 'I smoke crack' out of 10!"
I remember back during the Terry Legacy Max saying he would do a KoF XIV rate the super, but he never got to it, probably cause he was distracted enjoying XIII. But its finally here, right before XV. Can't wait to hop on that one.
I know K's Climax in KOF 15 is the same as the last game but the fire effects looked much better in KOF 14
I don't think so, I more that in XIV they did a better camera work and they put some explosions during the super that gave it more impact (but honestly this super needs to be reworked).
"That's not how rate the super works can't compare it to other games". 60 seconds earlier,
" Oh yeah Kyo's super in 15 is much better"
Man Kof always had some oddballs, but XIV makes Yamazaki seem sane
I would say that Ryo's LV3 should stun like in the older games to give it some flavor, but considering how long the combos already are yeah maybe not. Just make him Mr.Karate 2 already, SNK. He would be sick and y'all know it.
_It's not like you're putting Takuma in XV, right?_
I give this game, a “confused Max”/10
Love seeing Max play through all the KOFs! I haven't played much of 14, I literally just bought it on Steam a few months ago (yeah I know, I'm hella late), but it's fun to play trying out all the combos/supers together. I'm like whatever on a lot of the newer characters and glad they didn't make it on the KOF tbh. Now if I could just beat the game at least once without it crashing on Steam smdh!
It's all good though, I pre-ordered KOF XV deluxe edition 😅
I like when Max just zoomed in that, Papa Chango on meth dude lol 😂
OMG, Andy in this game looks SUPER skinny compared to his KOF 15 design. Thank God they buffed him up.
Roughly what the butler says during his level 3: "You can no longer escape from my grasp. Fare you well."
Did you know? Kyo's Super is just an imitation from Saisyu's 98 Super
True bro
And my favourite kyo super is also from 98
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm dying. I just LOOOOVE how Max jus ZOOOOMS in on Xanadu.
We never even knew what the score of his Level 3 was.
