I RAN INTO 2 GODLIKE PLAYERS in GAROU: MARK OF THE WOLVES 

I think this game is way superior to 3rd Strike as well.

the simplicity of the game is crazy to me, I was able to do all my character's moves without even looking at a list, just did some quarter circles and I found out how to play the game

@@soundsofstabbing3627 Some character are easier than other. But basically, yeah the game is quite simple, and once you mix breaks and feints with perfect mastery of special, you can do crazy things.

Yes, and no.

Garou series were introduced when kof 99 was released

But with more interesting characters

@@TheLucasCaputoGarou is part of the fatal fury series. It’s not a separate series

@TheLucasCaputo Fatal Fury original name is Garou Densetsu. "Garou" is just the original name used for the last episode of the series. I have always liked Fatal Fury way more than King of Fighter. Especially Fatal Fury 3 and Garou.

Garou is the GOAT of fighting games!

yeah, as someone familiar to high level play of sf3 and garou, it wasnt that much different from watching a new player at sf3 playing against an experienced veteran, except all the feint cancels and meter building faster in garou, plus more defensive mechanics in garou that smug is not used to that made it look more one-sided

roto cancels

Games like sfv makes you play like re

Specially because it doesn't have shitty trainning stages that let you choose,animations in the back are amazing compared to even kof xv,lack of animations because people complain about lag and all that shit,funny enough,they complain about that and they play on shitty tranning stages but the normal stages remain without love in animations.

I still do but I am absolutely not close to godlike

I must be the proud exception

The whole SNK company as a fg maker was in a different level in the 90s. They made big fg innovations every year. But sadly too poor to afford new tech unlike Capcom. The cps2 system, that ran Darkstalkers and Marvel, and the cps3 system that ran SF3 and Jojo were literal game changers for Capcom.

@@carlosaugusto9821 most definitely.

@@carlosaugusto9821 Yeah, but SNK has been able to maximize the possibilities of the Neo-geo, it's sick what they created with Garou.

It's a 20+ years old advanced fg and Smug is a newbie. Simple. He's going to get bodied. There are people playing it since release or the early 00s. Also there's the factor that all these old arcade games have cheesy and/or broken stuff that can be very oppressive for a newbie if the player wants to be extra brutal and bully.

This game has a deep learning curve.

Kevin in KOF wouldn't be a bad idea, but i don't want too much of MOTW taking slots in KOF. So I don't agree with your idea of team. There's too much in KOF 15 already. If future games just rotate MOTW chars then that's fine.

He must also watch some high level matches with the chars he uses

Oh absolutely! I agree! I personally prefer RBFF2 over Garou but Garou is awesome nonetheless! Definitely up there!

I wish to see him try Rick in RB2, and also try RB1 later just for the experience of a more unique fg style.

Good point. I don’t think Kushnood Butt fits Smug’s style. I know he typically picks characters that look like him in games but his moves don’t really fit Smug

@@chiarosuburekeni9325 smug isn't into zoners?

I think Kevin or Dong is the best fit. Rushdown and big, executionally demanding combos.

Nahhh he needs to stick with Marco and lock him down first.. Marco himself has so many moves that don't get used. Plus he's one of the hardest hitting characters.

Garou is the best fighting game I ever played. I want to see more people play it.

i second what was said here. the kims in this game if you time their cancels are scary as hell . you press a button can lead to half health especially against fire foot .

he also could like not fight A rankers off the bat lol just play d and c rankers while learning

the cost is having good execution buddy. You can't just unsafely break and do feint cancels and expect not to be punished

lol no he's not you clown cause he is getting punished and isn't doing it for an extended period of time, my brother can do this shit. I have seen better execution of the rotor hell meter gain in tournaments bud. I've been following the competitive scene for over a decade and this isn't close to the best Kevin player out there. Watch this, then talk to me about "USiNG MaCrO" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WOBiotMAn4A.html

Is actually pretty easy, you only need to do rotor b then you press c the rotor b then c. You can do it in others way, like for example with a dash at the end

Do you remember the player's name? Haha

@@Kain_R_Heinlein nah. this shit happens all the time cuz of the amount of games i play. There was this one guy who 10-0'd me in Samsho 2. shit was brutal. lol

Not only top tier, he's the best character in the game

The Japan version end on Butt

He's called Khushnood Butt in the international release. He's called Marco Rodriguez in the Japanese release of Mark of the Wolves, and his name has since officially been reverted to that everywhere else as well with KOF XV.

Okay cause I own the game on Switch, and that confused the hell out of me when I saw the name change.

​@@PotatoGun9000 The reason for that was because they based it off an MMA fighting with a similar name. So just like Street Fighter changed the shadowloo trio's names cause of M. Bison imitating Mike Tyson.

He wants to bring more retro fg variety, so probably it's going to be more random.

He did a poll last week on what fighting games his viewers wanted to see him play, and this was one of the frontrunners in said poll

The NPCs basically

and they would get beaten by the top Japanese players like Vanira, JR, Wata, Amemori, Tamura, Tanaka, Arumi, Naoyan, AUT, etc

he does not have a special like the raging demon lol, the one closest to it is freeman with his counter super where the screen turns black and he starts slashing you everywhere.

@@Kain_R_Heinlein also did i say anything thing about his name change other than his Japanese name was kushnood butt... my guy you need to chill with the trying to act smart when i already know why his name was changed. please save it for someone else. also the move i said was like the raging demon i only said its like the raging demon because its multiple hit strong combo that ne can do . if you played the game you know the one im talking about where he puts both his hands to his sides and rushes you with kicks punches and you end it why the dp move. good gosh you acting like you cant make comparisons to games but i guess thats how you live your life. keep living it that way

​@@jclinton4473 You say chill, then you proceed to write a comment with the double of words. But yeah Marco hidden, doesn't work neither resembles a raging demon

But Dong Hwan is the best. No question asked.

Wtf. Stop saying that. Garou it''s better than 3s

same

Well anyone casual will be on KOF XV. I hope Samsho Rollback and Garou will get more new blood interested in SNK Fighters. Personally, I think KOF XV is doing well, last time I hopped on I destroyed people; but on FC or on 2K2UM, I’m the one getting destroyed.

yeah unfortunately as the weakest character in the game you're gonna have to rely on fundamentals and guard cancel and feint cancel a lot too haha... learning to be patient also

Honestly it doesn't matter which character they choose when you're a newbie at the game. Even if you're great at fighting games, you have to learn how to play Garou.

Freeman is basically the worst yeah but the game is balanced tbh.

The worst maybe, but not truly bad

Yes. Jenet is right behind him tho!

Dong is so fun to play tho.

What's the logic to prefer one over the other? Only because Jae is similar to his dad? What about which one truly suits Smug better? Did you think about that?

@carlosaugusto9821 I did, I noticed in other videos he gravitated to Kim kaphwan so I chose the son closest to him.

@@goku445 both are fun, but one is a bit closer to kaphwan.
