HOW IS THIS BOSS WORSE THAN THE LAST?! - Terry Legacy (Pt. 12): King Of Fighters 2000 

How did SNK do with the other NESTS bosses Krizalid & Igniz??

kim's pants >zero's skirt tho

@@joshualowe959 igniz was not done by snk.

@@joshualowe959 As they told you, SNK didn't created Igniz, it was Eolith's work. SNK said that if they had not gone bankrupt the final battle of the saga would have been against NESTS himself and Igniz would never have existed.

@@andrako748 I Wish there is a remake of kof 2001, with nameless and proper storyline

agnaldo matheus ironically, KoF13 has goodbye esaka too, which, if u look at it, felt like the KoF2000 during that time

@@Evilriku13 oh shit you are right

That is exactly what it is. It was called "Goodbye Esaka" for that precise reason, since the SNK building was located in Esaka Street.

agnaldo matheus Nope, you’re spot on

@@deathm0100 wasn't the train station close by named Esaka?

Either way, I find it kind of depressing. that South Town got wiped the way it did.

What? Southtown was the target, but didn't actually get destroyed. This was only a fraction of the canon ending

If SNK loved South Town, they must have loved Geese too.

KOF fans consider kof02 as the best game of the franchise, most balanced and etc... It was not made by the original team? That's a surprise.

Probably based in how Majin boo was awaken in DBZ.

No more playmore just snk and i hope they do well later on kof xv

ameer nurhaqeem You gotta admit that not all was doom and gloom during the Playmore era since we got some gems in the rough (e.g., Neo Geo Battle Coliseum, The King of Fighters XI, and Samurai Shodown V Special).

@@E24KLawson yep but iam glad snk is back again and hire more people to make new game. at least now they know how to used unreal engine i hope they show trailer of kof xv or something but i also heard snk is also making new metal slug right

@@ameernurhaqeem9738 You heard right. A new Metal Slug is indeed in the works.

Even MI2/2006 was a game made by heart from them, just a bit rough about some hitboxes and some bs missions to unlock costumes (over 300!) and stages.

yes

it's in my top 3

smiliar to KoF MI2/2006 then.

And KOF2000 has the best striker system of all N.E.S.T. episode. (99-2001)

This game was my college days. That and 2001, but that's mostly loveable Igniz.

After a major metropolitan area was blown to smithereens

city got creamed to kingdom come

Haha people with enough culture don't stick only to institution terms. Besides maybe he was talking to himself.

The word simp has been around since the 70's. Like most slang it was invented by Black people.

Also, Whip uses the word 'simp' in the previous installment.

Said superweapon was probably built by a secret cartel which created an army of clones of a Japanese high school dropout in their base on Mars. All to take over the world. Fighting games.

you mean the blackhole attack?

don't try to use strikers, he will read the shit out of that movement and cast a 0 frame super, the only viable way to win the fight without being a fking evo champion is cheese him to death.

Or Evil Tom Selleck.

Commander Pringles

Hahahaha 😂

Hi diddly ho, Terry Bogard! I'm just here to siphon your energy so I can destroy NESTS and take over the world.

@@dnmstarsi I won't let my kids have sugar but I'LL GIVE THEM SIPS OF YOUR FIGHTING SOUL!... Hope that's okey dokey neighbor!

Yeah, back then I did hear how much of a mess it was. And because of that, plenty of games that was in the works was canceled or never got far in development.

2000 was also the time Capcom vs SNK was made.

Ex2 for a gba game is pretty decent.

@@armand4116 There was a King of Fighters EX2 & EX3?! I thought you were talking about Street Fighter's EX2 & EX3.

@@joshualowe959 Correct me if I'm wrong but, I think KOF EX & EX2 were simply GBA ports of KOF 99 & 2000 respectively with some original characters, right??

Yeah, I think Max should have had 1 person who is into KOF guide him into these games. The chat really messed things up and convinced him to just skip games which is dumb as hell

@@sandmanofchaos foreals

He is a clone of real zero and as such he felt neglected, he was fighting for the nests organization just on the outside in real he wanted to destroy them and make himself a god.

@@lonewolf3314 that was a megaman related joke

Wrong game, buddy! Hahaha

@@amaizeing.dumbass5123 not in mega man games so obviously i had no idea thanks for informing me

Looool MegaMan X4 game joke

YESSS WE GOT IT

Eh, true, but this is also the Terry Legacy. This series of videos does seem like it's meant to represent Mr. Bogard himself more than it represents the spirit of The King of Fighters.

@@-TPLT That's exactly the point

Yes, but he can play with the entire team that includes terry, it would be fun to watch that

We all sucks at kof

Speeding through the games and not seeing any of the character’s endings isn’t really capturing the spirit of the character, but I guess Max has a busy schedule and he needed to get these videos up on time.

Yes, as it was going to be his last game they decided to include as many characters from other of their franchises as a last goodbye.

@@andrako748 yeah SNK had crisis and all that stuff,It really reflects in kof 2001 and 2002, gameplay and style.

Another Iori by far is the best striker imo

@@joaopedrodealmeida3402 since snk did not make those games.

And it's the game that made people think Rugal was still alive, because his striker doesn't fade away like other dead characters.

To be fair this is all just for Terry. And kof isnt that centered around him so i can understand him not feeling the story much when hes doing thus for one specific character. But yeah, at the very least he should work for the ff team endings more often in that regard.

This is why I didn't like him playing these games, he was clearly rushing it and it just felt messy the way he was playing.

I ferl like he should have saved the KoF games for a possible Kyo legacy

@@Hillthugsta or for the next kof that is coming next year.

Yeah if there's one thing I enjoy in KOF it's the story and characters for the most part.

Yes. Kof is wayyy fun also it has an interesting storyline especially in 94 to 00 or 02. It's really a damn shame Max plays in baby difficulty, single matches which is a bore to me, since i prefer watching 3v3 and it's fun playing on a normal difficulty

If he puts it in Level 4 difficulty we're going to get things like fighting Terry Bogard in FFS or Hon Fu in FF3 for 2 hours. He's going to hate SNK games more by the end of the Terry Bogard Legacy. Terry is in a shit-ton of these games and he wants to cover as many as possible.

@@chestercastaneda4920 still no excuse for not playing teams, kof is meant to be play in teams

@@calypso i wonder why is such a taboo thing for kof fans that some people prefer playing in 1v1 for different reasons,i like kof a lot but if they give the option to play that mode then there is nothing wrong with that because terry has been in a shit ton of games and max wanted to cover them as fast as possible while playing other things as well.

@@calypso Lol, you sound like a hateful purist, "that's not how it should be played there is no excuse, aaaaaaa" It is none of your business how he wants to play. You seem like a member of a Sect accusing Max of being a heretic. Also how can you judge that he is not enjoying playing them? You are not Max to know it. It is seen that he enjoyed them.

I like to call it the Shadow Fart.

It's the all that's touched by none.

It’s definitely not nothing.

@@andrako748 How about Final Fart? Or Real Fart, for reference sake :D

Literally recorded me dying by that the other day and sent it to my friend with a fart sound effect 🤣

Yeah, we're like 5 kofs into this legacy and he still doesnt notice it seems lol

He KNOWS you get the real endings for playing the preset teams, but he intentionally chose single player vs. with one round to breeze through them rather than spend 7 hours on just three games.

False. Everyone was yelling at him to do so. He didn't.

@@Bloodlyshiva Weird. I don't know why he thought playing team mode would take too long or whatever. It's a shame he's gonna get all stock endings because of it.

Yeah i know he will skip 2k1 and vanilla 2k2, i actually dont like too much but it would have been interesting seeing him fight ignitz and omega rugal on normal difficult

It's a Terry Legacy and it's obvious he prefers the feel of Terry in KOF 98 (as with the majority of SNK fans, it would seem).

@Simon Ghost Riley its because other people told him so.

@Alfredo Saucedo yeah i know, i do respect the peoples tastes; im just pointing out that is kinda sad to me just that

@Alfredo Saucedo He's making an effort, but everyone just wants to see boss rages because of childhood nostalgia which is annoying honestly.

He probably missed Kula because without teams there's no way to get high enough score to face her.

i thought that's the point of boss characters...

@@AlexanderMartinez-kd7cz Yes. But the KoF series work differently. It's not a 1 vs 1 with a hard boss. It's a 3 vs 1 with a hard boss. The hard boss in a KoF is like 3 hard boss at the same time, cause is made to be 3 vs 1.

@@mstevensh ok i'm pretty sure kof bosses don't have triple health/damage. i mean i've beaten kof bosses 1v1 and i'm not that great, 3v1 seems like you have the advantage, at least in total health

@@AlexanderMartinez-kd7cz In some games it is but some games scale it back for 1v1s. Really, it just depends on the release.

Also, the NESTS saga bosses are the coolest bosses in the entire KOF series. Don't @ me.

@@DarkflareEX agreed my good sir

@@DarkflareEX Ever loveable Igniz will never die!

Actually you can put the difficulty on level 2-3 and you'll almost always fight Kula

And that "another" iori

@@CosmicRPG She's a secret character, you gotta hover over Vanessa and press start, then do the same for Seth, Maxima, K', and the random select panel. Then you have to press up, then down and she should appear under random select

Same :)

So when he is touched my none... Is he "touched" by none? Lol

Daniel Day “my mom didnt love me... oh wait, I dont have any parents :(“

Can't fight Kula at low difficulties because you can't reach the BP needed to challenge her.

@@DarkflareEX is he playing on easy? RIP 2002UM boss rage?

@@AlexanderMartinez-kd7cz Max isn't doing this to do Boss rages. This is a Legacy. SNK games are rough especially the early ones and Max still has a few games to go through. FF2 and 3 nearly killed the legacy due to how balls cracking hard they were. Finally, Terry's release into Smash Ultimate is right around the corner so there's not much time.

@@DarkflareEX aw man, at least a boss rage uncut against omega rugal

Probably impossible without teams. The BPs he's getting here are a fraction of what you would get during normal play.

Yeah ! 🔝

NeioGeo dont u mean Ned Flanders? 🤔

yeah I had to keep scrolling till I found it Holy shit they blew up South Town! ...Eh, it'll be fine. (They can always go straight to Second Southtown anyway). The King of Fighters 2000 was SNK's goodbye song (and they have one called "Goodbye Esaka", Kyo's theme). With bankruptcy imminent, the gang wanted to go out with a bang. And how would they do it? By giving it everything they've got with the art and music and everything. Need I talk about the "EXTRA Strikers" (Another Striker) that are available in the Arcade version and the SPECIAL Strikers (Maniac Striker) in the console versions? SNK decided to include a LOT of strikers in this game from various SNK properties like Duck King from Fatal Fury, the original SNK mascot G-Mantle, Goddess Athena from the game called Athena (she's the ancestor of Athena Asamiya... yes, they all have Athena for the name xp), Kim Kaphwan's kids but older Kim Dong Hwan & Kim Jae Hoon from Garou: MOTW, and so many more. They truly did want to tell their loyal fans "goodbye"... But they would come back as SNK Playmore a couple of years later before later on renaming themselves SNK again with KOF 14's release~ They're back and with KOF 15, they're going to let everyone know their name~ Onto some facts~ - The game debuts the Anti-K' known as Kula Diamond~ She's just adorable...for a living weapon...at least around this time! Following K' and Maxima's ditching NESTS at the end of KOF '99, NESTS created the Anti-K' project who would be the opposite of K' in almost every way possible; opposite gender, opposite way of dressing, opposite personality and, more importantly, opposite powers. While K' uses the Kusanagi Flames, Kula uses powerful ice abilities. However, NESTS did not want to repeat past mistakes with K' and Kula, so they had three women monitor Kula; Candy Diamond, a robot and Kula's best friend/sister, and Foxy and Diana, her "mother figures" so to speak. They all appear in the altered ending IF you fight Kula before the final boss. In the canon ending, Kula appears in space, setting off the Zero Cannon one more time in an attempt to kill (Clone) Zero, but she descends back to Earth. Candy uses her body to protect Kula, but at the cost of her life. Apparently, she could not be rebuilt as she makes no (canonical) appearances after this. - Kula's next appearances following KOF 2001's events have her try to be seen as more than a simple weapon. Truth be told, she's simply a child (only 14... Hard to believe given the numerous official art, huh?) and she's scarred from the things she has done at NESTS' behest. Kula has become more human, losing the icy cold personality she had from 2000 and 2001 (remnants of her child-like self is seen through taunts or win animations). After 2001, she appears in KOF XI forming the future K' Team. - Kula's theme song of this game, Ice Place, would finally be remixed in KOF 14 as a Rival Theme that would only play when she fights against fellow (EX-)NESTS member, Angel. It would be remixed once more in SNK Heroines. - Apparently, Kula is the mascot of the "new millennium era of Neo Geo", alongside others like G-Mantle, Terry, and Kyo. This is seen in a special illustration (you can see it on the SNK Wiki if you'd like). - In Days of Memories (SNK's Dating Sim games...to get money, they were running low at the time), Kula is 18 instead of 14... Given that DoM is a Dating Sim series, it only makes sense. After all, other characters are either aged up or de-aged (like Mai Shiranui, for example). - The game's antagonist is a High-Rank NESTS officer...or shall I say EX-NESTS officer. Yes, Zero has turned traitor for the sake of his own ambition. Spoiler Alert: He's actually a clone of the real Zero who appears in KOF 2001 (more on that below). He is the one responsible for killing Krizalid last game and has started the mysterious Project '00 (it was foreshadowed in plenty of endings of KOF '99, mostly seen in the Edit Team Ending) which involved the Zero Cannon. The cannon was powered by the energy of the KOF participants... Spirit Energy perhaps? It's not that out there given the history. T.T; The Zero Cannon was actually made using the same technology as Krizalid's battle armor which, as you saw last game, was able to record the fighters' "battle data". If you beat Kula before fighting (Clone) Zero, you'll see Foxy and Diana appear before him as Kula, who's all the way in space with the Zero Cannon, fires it down on Zero. This does not kill him, however. Whip goes to Zero and learns some devastating yet undisclosed private information (this is not told to us). In fury, Whip kills him (it's not shown outside the Japanese version. Remember how her gun attack is censored/omitted? Well, in the Japanese version, she outright shoots Zero with her gun). - The real Zero's appearance in KOF 2001 was, apparently, due to the company not really liking (Clone) Zero's appearance last game so they made him a clone of the Zero who'd appear in the next installment. - (Clone) Zero has a move that even the developers have jokingly called the "Zero Fart". It's actually a FIst of the North Star reference where some bad guy's cape move following an unseen attack, making it look like a "fart". XP - Just like last game, KOF 2000's assets were used in The King of Fighters EX2 for the GBA. However, EX2 is far more "original". The plot involves a man named Gustav trying to revive the spirit of Goenitz. His spirit was placed inside a boy named Sinobu Amou, though the process wasn't quite successful. Sinobu is the final boss of that game... Bleh. lol I didn't quite have a lot to say here, I won't lie. ^^;

@@Deltastar21 You sir, are a hero ☆

Yep, his super and Ron assist combo. He is actually more difficult than Ignitz.

I never See People Talking Shit About K' At All

I never saw anyone hating K'. His story arc wasn't great, but the character himself is mostly well liked.

Casual_Remy esp cuz the games arent designed about solo runs. I mean he makes himself more of a challenge, but the impression suffers, and then he wonders why certain games are taking over an hour to complete for one run

That is the only ending... Well, it changes slightly if you fight Kula, but that's it

This is a generic ending. Not necessarily a bad ending since South Town gets blown up regardless, but full canon teams are needed for the team endings. You can also get special endings for having Kyo, Iori, or Kula on your team.

In KOF 2003 Terry appears as his version of Garou.

@@andrako748 KoFXI, too.

It's not any kind of bad, really. I don't know where Max got the idea this game isn't well regarded, because it is.

@@Rangaisia I really liked all the hidden strikers

THAT MADE ME LAUGH OUT LOUD!!😂💔

Oh shit

You pinheaded son of an ice-cream maker!

@@FuriousGorge he said this game, not the entire franchise

J Doss i like his design, his playstyle and besides being a clone himself, he wanted to destroy NESTS originally, but failed due to the characters meddling here

He's Freddy Mercury

I heard the final boss was going to be Nests, but Eolith killed him and put their OC Igniz instead, and that's the reason SNK made Goodman, to mock Igniz. If it's true, Original Zero could simply be the result of a lack of ideas, like ripping off Tetsuo in every possible aspect

00's art is better than the previous and later games too, not just 01. It's easily the best of the classic (Neogeo) games. Second is 96's art. And third is 02. And besides those, the art is pretty much mediocre or bad in the other games.

Same here man

Mine was '99.

Yeah he kind of half assed it here :/

TERRY LEGACY, dude. He's doing this to showcase Terry, that's all. Also, not a fan of this saga so he's speeding shit up to move on to the other stuff except for 2001 which the chat was fine with.

@@dnmstarsi yeah, a lot of ppl seem to forget hes doing this specifically for Terry, (though he should probably pick terry's crew more often to get their actual team endings but whatever lol) there are plenty other kof playthroughs that go through all characters out there. Him skipping games in general is a little meh, but I would assume the chat is more to blame for that

@@MagillanicaLouM For endings, yeah. Though given how he tends to start with Terry and ends up with someone else winning the fight kinda messes with the legacy video but virtually no one seems to care or w.e. And while I don't really like skipping, he is listening to the fans at least.

@@dnmstarsi fair enough.

Whoever did the shitty english translations

@duraznoches That's fair. 😆

@@sandmanofchaos Yo exactly! Sounds like they hired the translator to do PG work. Lame.

@duraznoches yeah i know.

KoF2001 is generally considered to be the worst in the series.

@@KuroNoTenno can believe it. Even as a kid I use to pick 2006/Maximum Impact 2 over it

Lar's Gaming Channel I mean KoF2006/MI2 isnt a bad game in terms of quality, just rough with hitboxes, some falcoonish overdesigns (heck even some weirdass furry costumes are in there, but also lots of references to games SamSho, Metal Slug, NGE, and so on) and sadly some lost potential like the unlockable costumes & stages spliced up mostly over missions (instead of like a Krypta system from the MK series), then stuff like character selection before picking the mission, way too zoomed in character portraits while selecting characters (except for versus mode, cuz.. Idk), some messed up localization (I was on uneven terms with Ignition Entertainment before so I heard how they localize games and Im happy that company died out), the extra OST being locked to one stage and one “side“ (night) only and with the problem of a unnecessary startup sound before the actual track, and even then, in round 2, u get a different song based on the enemy u fight against, so u cant enjoy the song at all besides doing doppelganger matches (they could have added a OST stage edit option like games like TTT2 did for example). Also that this subseries was dropped didnt help, rly hope Luise, Alba, Soiree, Duke or the Beart sisters happen to appear in other KoF titles again, or that KoF restarts/continues the MI series 🤔

People need to start somewhere.

Atleast he's honest and doesn't try to pander

He needs to play the game on normal settings.

​@Alfredo Saucedo Precisely, if he does not like KOF or retro SNK games, why is he forcing to play games he doesn't like just to do this series. That's the reason these series is dull and without love.

@@SPACECOWBOY705 Doesn't really matter if he's honest, the quality still suffers if he doesn't want to play the games and is just doing so out of an obligation to make a Legacy series for a big release.

Max not to play KOF 2001, he said it on stream.

@@andrako748 skipping 2001? Didn't know he said that. Or mukai from 2003

@@omegadragoon1544 Well... he also showed no interest in playing KOF 2003 after he got angry, and not in a fun way, with Athena in SNK vs. Capcom Chaos. Although I hope that Max does not skip this because it is a very different game from the previous ones.

@@andrako748 you have to earn the fight against Athena

Andrako Don’t forget that Original Zero is an optional boss in KOF02UM, and Max did express interest in skipping vanilla 2002 and playing Unlimited Match instead.

Well, in that moment only 3 KOF were made to dominate the world. KOF 94 was made to turn the 3 best fighters into statues, KOF 95 was made to take revenge on those fighters because they won in the previous game, KOF 96 was made to recruit the best fighters to face a great threat, and KOF 98 It has no history. So only KOF 97, 99 and 2000 were the only ones with plans that were made by the bad guys to change the world... until that moment, because then there were many more KOFs that were for that.

@@andrako748 Yeah, suppose I was looking more into the series in hindsight for how "anime" they get later on

Actually I think they were surprised by the fact that the final boss is betraying NESTS itself to conquer the world, afterall they knew about NESTS already from the past game

God the XI port had so many awesome additions I loved that game

@@MixMasterLar All of them have awesome editions (he showcased that with 98), but XI had way more than any port before it.

Rugal Bernstein reason for that is him doing solo runs, which most KoF titles are not balanced for, also not doing team specific runs are ruining the storyline to some extend.

Pretty much, you have to fight and beat her in order to show how the laser ended up hitting him in the end
