Eh.... High School is over-rated IMHO; Could and Should be used as an interest hub the student can take but the reality is the social aspect in which, unfortunately, most people even in their 30's or 40's never grew out of.
You know what I like about Kyo? He's this MC who has a special bloodbline but gives no shit abt it unless his family is threatened, leads a normal life, with a love towards his motorcycle and his girlfriend & friends. Thats all nothing too edgy and complicated which makes him unique among fighting games MC's. He is a relatable character
The best part about Kyo, in my opinion, is that he’s a borderline OP character, and I meant that both character-wise and gameplay-wise. He’s not perfect as a fighter, but even so, no one is. Not even the likes of Rugal, M. Bison or Shao Kahn are. Firstly, there’s his conversation with Akuma in SvC, where he considers Kyo to be someone of his equal as respectable fighters. It’s technically not canon, but it’s fun nonetheless to acknowledge it. Then, in multiple conversations with other fighters in KoF XIII, he never hesitates to show off his talent and skills while keeping it well between the thin line of arrogance and pure confidence. Heck, this is the same man who, along with a rich lightning-using playboy and a gold medal Judo international champion, won a total of 5 different tournaments in the KoF timeline, so why not get a little cocky? And one more thing worth mentioning is his fighting style. Most fighter characters simply stick to the style they trained under and tried to perfect it while learning more along the way, while Kyo is always changing and mixing his own up with his own creativity and intuitiveness. In other words, if compared to something like reading a book, Kyo is like an author, learning as he reads while writing more along the way. (kinda ironic tho that he sucks at poetry, lol) Needless to say, he’s badass but not edgy, wicked but not insane, and confident but not overly arrogant.
that's also one of the reasons people find him boring! because he's too generic which is true but being generic doesn't always mean shitty, i don't know who came up with that....
Well, despite the story behind KOF, at the end KOF is more like a spin-off, a big crossover of SNK characters where Kyo, Iori and K are the main protagonist, some times we just forget that Terry and Ryo are tha mains protagonist of their own games, Terry can't have main protagonism in KOF, other wise it would be Fatal Fury, the same with Ryo, he can't be protagonist in KOF it would be Art of Fighting. This just remember me we need more iterations of Fatal Fury and Art of Fighting.
Kyo is by far my favorite KOF character. I love the fact that even when he's not the MC of a particular arc, he's always one of the central character... but since the Orochi saga is what I think of when I think of KOF, I'll always see Kyo as THE MC of KOF.
The Spanish content is also superbly good, i watched many Spanish kof videos yesrs ago, and yeah they have their own lore and characters story, top 10 thing you may not know about...... And more, although they have amino king of fighters, a social media app Dedicated to only kof.
Dude, I always thought that Kyo was a natural and never trained, thanks for teaching me his history with such detail. Now I've found new respect for the character.
Real quick, the Yagami was originally called the Yasakani before binding a contract with the Orochi and became the Yagami. It honestly sucked that Kusanagi wasn't a NESTS project, honestly, his personality seemed perfect as a Kyo clone. One of Kusanagi's super move from 2002 UM came from KOF 99 EVOLUTION from Syo Kirishima.
I've never seen someone made such an effort at gathering a full amount of information about this game . We the KOF old school members are grateful to you Thank You 😊🙏❤️
Now this is the best review about Kyo ever !! he's my favorite character and this video make me understand his story better especially with the clones 🤣 KOF deserve to be acknowledged and you making good job to support it Thank you and keep it up.
He's always edgy & doesn't move on, look I know K's been through some deep shit with the NESTS, but he wasn't alone. Kyo's been through some deep shit too, but he put it all behind. That's why Kyo is my favorite character, he's the HERO & best boy. Same as comparing Squall and Cloud, Squall moves on, Cloud does not. So yeah, Kyo & Squall over K' & Cloud anyday. K' & Cloud, (as Kyo said) pull yourselves together & get over it!
@@LOKBLUDOM3N Cloud did move on.....have you watched Advent Children? And in Dirge of Cerberus he is perfectly fine. Youre talking about a kid who had an whole identity crisis , used as a puppet to nearly kill a friend and end the world. Yeah pretty sure he had alot more to deal with than K. Kyo is better than K' but Cloud and Leon ( I call Squall Leon) are equal for me.
I see my favorite chatacter instant click, this is what i like about KOF thier moves ability and power balance to the game, is dictated by the story, not only for the sake of new move and change
My first exposure to Kyo and KOF in general were the arcade 2002 cabinets that were lying around my country. Ironically, the first characters I saw and remember wasn't him but Iori and Flame!Chris. I spent years wondering how to unlock the latter's flame mode when I saw the different stances while being unaware of Kyo as the main hero for many years. My cousin and I would just main Kyo and Iori by sheer coincidence, unaware that they are the main protagonists.
When i started kof, I've selected kyo because of his appearance later i discovered his fighting techniques and now i have known that he is a super hero of KOF 😅😍
I genuinely believe that the reason N.E.S.T fell was because they thought making an army of clones of a teenager with unfair fire power was a good idea. Seriously. Also, considering how many times they beat him, Orochi needs to give up and wait till Kyo,Iori and Shizuru bite the dust before resurrecting.
to be honest i was surprised because i thought kyo was going to be in because almost some of the characters have a cross over like iori athena leona for mobile legends geese for tekken terry for fighting layer ex and kyo will be expected pick in smash because i thought if terry was in 1 franchise he cant be in the 2nd one like i thought thats how cross over works since terry was already in fighting layer ex
ShoryuGame Anytime, bro! I’m a guitarist too, so I have to cover SNK music! Terry Bogard, Joe Higashi, Blue Mary, Geese Howard, and Ryuji Yamazaki’s theme are on my list!
Cool! He's fun to use, but his dad and Iori we're superior, in my opinion! I liked when we switched his style up! He was fun to use all over again! His RED Kick is my favorite move!
Nameless is just a codename. He is still a K but there is some conflict. He is planned to replace K9999 as the 9999th K clone. But Snk is thinking of giving K9999 a chance of existing so they just named him Nameless. It is also a possibility that he is K10000 or K-Man in japanese
Well you have former members of Capcom working there, so some vibes maybe similar but I like Kof style better as lots of their characters look more walkable in the streets than street fighter's.
amazing video bro...I can see a lot of time goes into them... I played 99 like so much how I favored K... so when ya got to that part I screamed lol... anyways keep it up i'll support!
Gave a thumbs up! I wasn’t that familiar with KoF (only played 99 and the first GBA one) but this helped me get up to date. Amazing what a high schooler has to go through. I guess my favorite one would be the NESTS version of Kyo, if only because I spent so much time with 99.
Bro, Rugal didn't survived kof 94 due to this orochi powers. He was given the orochi power by Goenitz just for Goentiz amusement. And he went half mad after getting it as he could not control it as he didn't had orochi blood within him. Just saying. I love your videos bro. Keep them coming. They bring back so many good memories.
No he's not. Terry Bogard is snk company's mascot. That's probably the reason why he made it to smash as DLC. He may be the protagonist at least in the kof series but he did not make any guest appearance outside.
@@JohnathanSuperMachine92Mcbride Actually kyo did make appearances outside of kof, like Seven Deadly Sins : Grand Cross , and bunch of other collab games but not terry, look it up if you want to
@@JohnathanSuperMachine92McbrideTo be fair, he said "the mascot of *KOF* ", not "the mascot of *SNK* ". Most people know that Terry is "more popular", even though I feel like both Kyo and Terry are cool. Kyo's still my favorite though.
@@JohnathanSuperMachine92Mcbride Acctually kyo did make appearances outside of KOF like The Seven Deadly Sins: Grand Cross and other collab games, you can look it up if you want to
Kyo is actually designed to be the opposite of Ryu (of SF). While Ryu keeps saying he has to train to get stronger (in every freaking ending), Kyo is cocky and already mastered his fighting style. He used a variation of his Kusanagi style in every saga. He also sports a cool attire in each one.
Started in 94 with limited moves and high school outfit. More move was added in 95. From an all-rounder character to rushdown character in 96. New super/DM in 97. 98 is dream match. Changed his outfit in 99 and discarded some of his moves. Changed some of his 99 moves in 2000. New super/DM in 2001. 2002 is dream match. Changed his outfit in 2003 and a little bit adjusted moveset.(His 182 Shiki and Mushiki returned) Changed his moveset in XI. Changed his moveset in XIII(and XII by extension). Changed his outfit and moveset in XIV. Changed his outfit and a new Climax super in XV.
16:32 You forgot Kyo from Maximum Impact, my dude. Yes, that version is not canon to the main storyline but he *does* have his own costume, making him a different version.
Nah he didn't forget, it was voluntary. Shoryugame mentioned in former videos that he usually doesn't include non canon versions of KOF in these character STORY description vids. That's why kof 98 2002 negeowave maximum impact neogeo pocket vers or CVS etc being non canon, aren't mentioned there. I do think indeed, that these "filler sagas" are just confusing extra content that are uneeded for an explanation of the main plot. I mean who cares about the Naruto fillers when u make a description of Sasuke's story.
Where are the packs of kyo's clones after '99? Did they just die? Burned to ash? Wandering? Brands new identity? Starting a family? One of them is rumored to be Shen woo of team ash.
Kyo best character!! Also I'm SO HYPED FOR KOFXV!!!! I REALLY HOPE IT'S GONNA BE ANNOUNCED SOON Also thanks for the videos, I love to hear more about KOF. Keep it up!!
I'm more hyped about more seasons of the anime covering the rest of Orochi Saga... these videos reminds me how KoF's history is actually very rich, unique, deep, awesome and somewhat realistic though 😊👑
My favorite character i really like kyo both story wise and gameplay wise even though he isn't the main protagonist anymore he is still important. I really like that too bad that they didn't do the same with Terry and Ryo but atleast they got some respect in they're own games
Very Good Video. My only suggestions would be, mainly for a potential future remake post Verse Arc, to briefly mention the KOF EX Games, which take place in an alternate continuity where instead of NESTS, it was Moe Habana whom found Kyo and helped him recover before the next KOF Tournament, and then there’s how in the NESTS Saga his girlfriend Yuki had almost been kidnapped by NESTS agents only to be saved by Daimon and Iori, the latter whom calls him out on this afterwards.
At first i was like...wakanda foreva...n then i dint stop listen...intresting story..play this game when i was a kid...never knew about the story..thnks for explaining.
@@nexusofice9135 that's not what he meant by ps1 KOF kyo... that's a title that mostly plays like a story telling game with cutscenes and story information only shown in that game. it's not a fighting game at all, i don't think
chachitogober indeed, it was during 96, 97 events m, but it’s more involved in the three sacred treasures and it’s mostly backgrounds, that’s how I learned of the existence of Kyo’s family and His girlfriend Yuki.
Kyo was never the most popular character. Terry, Geese, and Naokuru have always been more popular. Kyo's the fifth most popular character, so he's definitely one of the more recognizable SNK characters. mobile.twitter.com/hdkirin/status/1022138297869463552
Kyo-1 Team up? Kyo-2 With Myself? Kyo- me fighting along side my two clones Striker Kyo- Me helping the playable versions of myself? All- OUTRAGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!
in the argument who is stronger kyo or K'. its kyo. his feats are incredible. defeated: >omega rugal >his father >orochi >riot of the blood iori >goenitz >ignis >verse
Is the fact that there a thousands of Kyo clones living among the crowds never brought up again? I understand the destruction of the cloning facilities and the clones within them, but we see footage of clones already on earth.
they are inferior clones whom either died prematurely due to genetic malfunctions, or got old quickly, or swept by Heidern's army or defected Nests agents (K', Whip, Kula, Foxy, Maxima).. there's also few better clones hiding, normally living outside public view.. how do i know this? search Wing Yan / King Tung related to kof..
@@ustaz_abu_jan Weird how none of them made their own identity and just lived their life peacefully...until Verse that is. If anything, tying the clones with the revived bosses would've been great. Verse using their life essence to revive everyone, from V&M to Igniz...except for one whom let go of his Kyo past. Would be a great idea!
I feel like with smash, tekken 7, fighting ex layer terry gets more and more recogniton (or the fatal fury crew, lets say) however Kyo deserves some recognition too. It feels as if even Iori gets more recognition by other games than him, Imagine how great would it be to see him in a game like tekken 8
@@reijiminato8762 Lol. Actually I thought he was the main character because he won the first KOF. Also he's my favorite character because of the movie Fatal Fury the Motion Picture.
@@songsonlee Ah, ok. Well, don't get me wrong. Terry is a cool fighting game hero. But, if I were to pick another fighting hero besides Ryu, it'd have to be Kyo as he is the simplest character that I ever cosplayed as. Not to mentioned the parted bangs hairstyle, which I had wanted to emulate in real life (since I've gone by high-and-tight military haircuts for most of my life)
For a guy who never graduated highschool, Kyo definitely has done good for himself.
Because he's TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL. ;)

Ryo: Fights for a living as he sees this as the only purpose in his life
Jin: Fights for power to accomplish his goals

You are not a KOF Fan if you have never once tried to pretend as Iori or Kyo
I prentended k' when i was a kid
Noo you found me out. I still do tho
i became kyo..
i fucking cosplayed him
Earlier, I tried using Method 182. It's basically a spinning back knuckle followed by an uppercut, right?

@@JohnathanSuperMachine92Mcbride Acctually kyo did make appearances outside of KOF like The Seven Deadly Sins: Grand Cross and other collab games, you can look it up if you want to
My teenage was all about kof and I used to dress up and look like kyo as I have the same structure and dark hair with fair skin tone 👊🏼🙋🏻♂️
Hahaha me too bro
Kyo is actually designed to be the opposite of Ryu (of SF). While Ryu keeps saying he has to train to get stronger (in every freaking ending), Kyo is cocky and already mastered his fighting style.
He used a variation of his Kusanagi style in every saga. He also sports a cool attire in each one.
Started in 94 with limited moves and high school outfit.
More move was added in 95.
From an all-rounder character to rushdown character in 96.
New super/DM in 97.
98 is dream match.
Changed his outfit in 99 and discarded some of his moves.
Changed some of his 99 moves in 2000.
New super/DM in 2001.
2002 is dream match.
Changed his outfit in 2003 and a little bit adjusted moveset.(His 182 Shiki and Mushiki returned)
Changed his moveset in XI.
Changed his moveset in XIII(and XII by extension).
Changed his outfit and moveset in XIV.
Changed his outfit and a new Climax super in XV.
Thx for this amazing job/vídeo. Really hard work there.
Kyo 94 is my fav of all time.

You forgot Kyo from Maximum Impact, my dude.
Yes, that version is not canon to the main storyline but he *does* have his own costume, making him a different version.
Nah he didn't forget, it was voluntary. Shoryugame mentioned in former videos that he usually doesn't include non canon versions of KOF in these character STORY description vids. That's why kof 98 2002 negeowave maximum impact neogeo pocket vers or CVS etc being non canon, aren't mentioned there. I do think indeed, that these "filler sagas" are just confusing extra content that are uneeded for an explanation of the main plot. I mean who cares about the Naruto fillers when u make a description of Sasuke's story.
Where are the packs of kyo's clones after '99?
Did they just die? Burned to ash? Wandering? Brands new identity? Starting a family? One of them is rumored to be Shen woo of team ash.
Kyo best character!!
Also I'm SO HYPED FOR KOFXV!!!! I REALLY HOPE IT'S GONNA BE ANNOUNCED SOON
Also thanks for the videos, I love to hear more about KOF.
Keep it up!!
I'm more hyped about more seasons of the anime covering the rest of Orochi Saga... these videos reminds me how KoF's history is actually very rich, unique, deep, awesome and somewhat realistic though 😊👑
@@VixXstazosJOB the chinese cartoon? or is there another anime I haven't heard about?
@@rand0md00d3 The chinese show though
@@VixXstazosJOB kk
VixXstazosJOB I’m sorry but it’s cancelled(unless your not talking about KOF DESTINY)
from this now i know , kempo is the best fighting style
My favorite character i really like kyo both story wise and gameplay wise even though he isn't the main protagonist anymore he is still important. I really like that too bad that they didn't do the same with Terry and Ryo but atleast they got some respect in they're own games
If SNK decides to lend a character for Super Smash Bros Ultimate DLC, it will be Kyo for sure.
well............
well.....
yeah about that
Very Good Video. My only suggestions would be, mainly for a potential future remake post Verse Arc, to briefly mention the KOF EX Games, which take place in an alternate continuity where instead of NESTS, it was Moe Habana whom found Kyo and helped him recover before the next KOF Tournament, and then there’s how in the NESTS Saga his girlfriend Yuki had almost been kidnapped by NESTS agents only to be saved by Daimon and Iori, the latter whom calls him out on this afterwards.
Thanks for the suggestion!
At first i was like...wakanda foreva...n then i dint stop listen...intresting story..play this game when i was a kid...never knew about the story..thnks for explaining.
A great video as always, but could you make a video about Leona?
Great video as Always.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video as always, can you talk about the ps1 game KOF Kyo?
He did. KOF 99 came out on PS1. And I think 95 as well.
@@nexusofice9135 that's not what he meant by ps1 KOF kyo... that's a title that mostly plays like a story telling game with cutscenes and story information only shown in that game. it's not a fighting game at all, i don't think
jkouga01 that's exactly what I mean, can't find much information in english speaking channels about the story, I think it's between 96 and 97 kof
chachitogober indeed, it was during 96, 97 events m, but it’s more involved in the three sacred treasures and it’s mostly backgrounds, that’s how I learned of the existence of Kyo’s family and His girlfriend Yuki.
Another video? Nice! Great job on this one!
dude im going to lay on my bed and watch this right now! thanks for the great content
The intro didn't age well after that smash Bros reveal
Kyo was never the most popular character. Terry, Geese, and Naokuru have always been more popular. Kyo's the fifth most popular character, so he's definitely one of the more recognizable SNK characters.

@@Naruxos07 you forgot iori
Kyo-1 Team up?
Kyo-2 With Myself?
Kyo- me fighting along side my two clones
Striker Kyo- Me helping the playable versions of myself?
All- OUTRAGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great video.
Kyo and Iori are me and my brother most favorite KOF character of all time
When Kyo woke up after 2 years he looked like Gackt
in the argument who is stronger kyo or K'. its kyo. his feats are incredible.
defeated:
>omega rugal
>his father
>orochi
>riot of the blood iori
>goenitz
>ignis
>verse
Is the fact that there a thousands of Kyo clones living among the crowds never brought up again? I understand the destruction of the cloning facilities and the clones within them, but we see footage of clones already on earth.
they are inferior clones whom either died prematurely due to genetic malfunctions, or got old quickly, or swept by Heidern's army or defected Nests agents (K', Whip, Kula, Foxy, Maxima).. there's also few better clones hiding, normally living outside public view.. how do i know this? search Wing Yan / King Tung related to kof..
There's a comic I read at the end of the tournament there's ton of Kyo that scattered around the world and 3 in the stadium lol
@@ustaz_abu_jan Weird how none of them made their own identity and just lived their life peacefully...until Verse that is. If anything, tying the clones with the revived bosses would've been great. Verse using their life essence to revive everyone, from V&M to Igniz...except for one whom let go of his Kyo past. Would be a great idea!
Great job once again!!!
yeah dude your right kyo is
the hero of kof
Dude I love your content
Thanks!
I feel like with smash, tekken 7, fighting ex layer terry gets more and more recogniton (or the fatal fury crew, lets say) however Kyo deserves some recognition too. It feels as if even Iori gets more recognition by other games than him, Imagine how great would it be to see him in a game like tekken 8
I always thought Terry Bogard was the main protagonist. The strongest of all the fighters. I love Terry lol
All because of the red outfit, right?
@@reijiminato8762 Lol. Actually I thought he was the main character because he won the first KOF. Also he's my favorite character because of the movie Fatal Fury the Motion Picture.
@@songsonlee Ah, ok. Well, don't get me wrong. Terry is a cool fighting game hero. But, if I were to pick another fighting hero besides Ryu, it'd have to be Kyo as he is the simplest character that I ever cosplayed as. Not to mentioned the parted bangs hairstyle, which I had wanted to emulate in real life (since I've gone by high-and-tight military haircuts for most of my life)
@Shaman Xeed Yep and Ryo is the protagonist of AOF
Terry's story is in the Fatal Fury series. Latest one being Mark Of The Wolves.
