SNK Gem: Art of Fighting - All Super & Desperation Attacks 

Aof1's achievement with the creation of supers can be broken down to: the invention of meter; an idea of meter management (but different from what later games would do); the idea that supers have to be flashy and strong looking; the "Ranbu" super idea: the char charges foward, does a barrage of strikers and then finishes with a simple attack (probably 70% of all Kof supers must be this way); the distinction between "super" (strong move that costs a lot of meter) and "desperation move", i.e the low-hp only move, that is the standard for SS and the early FFs, and became gradually a big deal in the genre (though this might not be so flattering for hardcore fans) because they are in a way the first comeback mechanic (note: Kof distorted the "Dm" meaning so ignore this point); the idea of designing different types of supers: like "automatic" ones, and the "hit trigger" ones, which only happen if the first hit connect, which then will trigger a whole animation - this is a pretty big deal, because it was invented by this game, Capcom wasnt a fan of it and used little in the 90s, but nowadays that's the rule for almost all fg's, including SF, especially the 3d fg's. All this was given to the fg genre by the very first game with supers. This might be one of the important 90's fg's that aged the worst, but this package of contributions is definitely impressive. And that was only one topic: supers.

Man that final dojo music is so lit

Interesting to see the ideas of commands they came with, for this original concept. Especially Ryuko Ranbu. That was a year before Snk set their minds clearly with the use of complex commands like qcf,hcb. Another interesting detail is that their very first commands for supers revealed their thing for double button presses, specifically a punch and kick. A very Snk trait that lasted until the mid 90s in Kof, the late 90s in FF and forever in SS.

I always thought Mr Big was blid cuz of the glasses and as he couldn't jump xD

"Don't kill that man ! He's our..." To be continued ?!

I loved the art style of AOF 1 & 2. Wish they could've touched it up a little bit for for 3, instead of ditching it completely.

Art of Fighting is known by many to be the first game to have to implement a true Super Special Move, as it was released before FATAL FURY 2. In fact, in your last SNK showcase, FATAL FURY SPECIAL, Ryo Sakazaki was shown as a secret character, which made that game, one of the very first crossover. It is older than Fighting Vipers, Super Smash Bros., SoulCalibur II, any of them. ...It's what I heard anyway.

i love john crawley moves

I thought it was a better idea to skip Aof1 for 2, which also was such a big update, to make a super collection. But i see you had a nice solution, going as far to play a Snes port for the sake of robust and complete content. Great work man. Also for choosing the best song for the ending.

Lee's super basically takes all your life

I clearly remember Jack had a very unique special move, where you tap the punch button really fast (clicking with your pinky-->ring-->middle-forefinger in one rapid quick move) - and he generates a spinning fist and huffs with a grunt that sounds like some sort of sneeze. I can't seem to find that move being done anywhere, but I remember it very well from the arcade and my childhood. it was a very well-kept secret that only a few knew! if anyone knows what I'm talking about and can link to a video showing that move - please comment and link

"Come on weeniemeister!"

Art of fighting is the only game that shows any character with their face smashed when it's about to be defeated, this is very realistic, also, if the last blow to beat a character is a little kick, he/she just kneels down, not like all the KOFs that makes you fly away with a little kick

Taco Breath? Weeniemiester? Who comes up with these stuff?

The game was very raw and packed with too many innovations, that the devs didnt have a clear idea of how to manage and lead them. Typical of some kind of eccentric inventions. But i guess those devs were super creative but just without the "developer genius" of Nishitani, who made SF2. He also was filled with new ideas not made before, so without external references as well, but he got a lot of stuff right. The AOF devs invented supers in fg's - such a huge deal, which certainly didnt seem so when it was made - but apparently they had an original concept of "the hero's special power". So it's their specialty, as the main chars. Only in FF2 the company took the idea further and made it an universal mechanic. And the Snes port of Aof1 benefitted from that evolved concept, so the other chars all gained their supers. Kinda funny, that such limited game ended up with this important bonus lacking in the original.

Old Robert Looks like Steven Segal

But wasn't Todoh's DM called Cho Kasaneate?

Hola a todos bien video me isiste recordas todos eso juegos y me dió ganas de jugar de nuevo estos títulos saludos y soy nuevo las recuerdos bonitos jeje saludos

That defeat sound effect is the best ever

Imagine those snes super moves are into aof 1 arcade how awesome right?.

So worth it when you defeat King with either super fireball from Ryo or Robert. 😏

have this on sega mega drive,if I remember right I found the game too "stiff" and after finishing it a few times, I went back to street fighter

Eu cresci jogando esse jogo🕹🎮boas lembranças da minha infância nessa parte😥como o tempo passa😢😭mais fdase😅😂😎😆

Meiou Buraijin was original super name until Kasumi's first introduce and change name to Shou Kasanete

If only AOF1 had complete movesets like in AOF2.

MICKEY SUPER WAS A CLASSIC

This is my favourite game

The invincible dragon and the raging tiger !!! 😀😁✌💕😍 Art of Fighting is available on : _ Nec, _ Super Nintendo, _ Megadrive, _ PS2, (AOC Anthology) _ PS2, Wii, PSP (SNK : Arcade Classics 1) Mini Neo Geo International. ✌

It was a interesting video, taco breath.

The first AOF didn't have any desperation except Ryu and Robert on the Neo Geo machine. This is a different console.

Is this the NeoGeo and Snes versions?

Why did you use the arcade version first? Then switched to the SNES version?

What console did you play on

Jack,s café lol

Some characters has special moves in the sega genesis or pc engine is like

I like the snes more than Neo Geo original, despite sprites are smaller, don't know why, but I like music better on snes ❤🎮

Please follow 1 for art of fighting 2 as well

there's a hack that allows you to play whatever characters in story mode instead of Ryo and Robert only, but I can't find it, or cheats code don't work

How To cet this player

Aquí nacieron los quintos o especiales

Taco breath? Lol I don't remember that.

リョウ・ロバート＝龍虎乱舞 藤堂＝盟王武頼陣 ジャック＝ジャイアントプレス リー＝旋風飛翔撃 キング＝ブラッディダンス ミッキー＝バーニングラッシュ ジョン＝スピニングクラッシュ Mr.ビッグ＝ライトニングクロス Mr.カラテ＝龍虎乱舞

Que es ese súper movimiento

1:55 2:04 1:35 1:10

This is console version not snk

Can we all admit Micky is NOT number one?

Believe or not,mr big use psycho crusher

2:26 that doesn't make any sense

Mickey actually perfoms a fatality as well. Once he beats you up he also infects you with his homeless germs/ you end up dying eventually.

Pues muy bonito y todo, pero no dicen como hacer esos poderes, deslike

fourth

I hater Ryo and Robert's uppercut.

All three Art of Fighting games were so janky in there own ways. If not for the King of Fighters series, Art of Fighting might have been lost to time.

Que es esa basura

AOF on SNES SUCKED

Need lovely 😍💋 💝💖❤️
