THE FINAL BOSS: King Of Fighters 14 Story Mode (Finale) 

The big same

Lol I didn't notice

It's like the same with Kid Buu in Dragon Ball Fighterz

He has remidied that mistake

I did exact same thing and I actually owned it. I'm forcing myself to enjoy fighting Games now.

agreed

yeahhh me too we need boss rage!!

You get the feeling if SNK made the standard difficulty harder, SNK-BOSS Syndrome would alienate newcomers

KOF 13 Boss Rage would be way more difficult though.

WE CALL ON TO THIS WORLD... THE BOSS RAGE!!

Funny thing is, notice how Max said the background music was "so Akira it hurts"? The Summer Olympics of 2020 are set to take place in Tokyo. Akira had the 2020 Games taking place in Tokyo. So far, it's either looking like a really bad coincidence, or fate is telling us that Tokyo will finally be destroyed in 2020.

+AshramAstarcia Finally? Were you expecting it or something? Lol

Musomania27 No, but Japan has a habit of having Tokyo be destroyed in almost every anime they make, so I'm treating it as a "Boy Who Cried Wolf" situation; keep destroying Tokyo in the Fantasy Realm, and it might actually get blown up in the real world. What's ironic is that Team China is the protagonist team this time 'round; because China's been looking for a chance to stick it to Japan for Nanking since... well, a while now (to say nothing of the Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands that China keeps being adamant about them owning, like with China's "claims" to Tibet and Taiwan).

GIANT METEOR 2016 for President. JUST END IT ALREADY.

Tokyo being destroyed isn't an anime thing, so much so as it's actually a historical, well known thing in japan. It's not like American movies where it's always New York being destroyed because it's the biggest city, it just happened so much in the past that it seems impossible it won't be destroyed and rebuilt again.

Everybody misses those dudes. Rugal is my favorite villain in this game. SPOILER ALERT: In some endings we can see Orochi trying to come back, and even Ash Crimson, unconscious, while Kukri and Elizabeth look at him. Well, Krauser inst dead as far as i know, not at least in KOF universe, but Rugal is. Would be a shame bring someone like Ash back, and forget about Rugal.

Yeah introducing a fire type boss ain't exactly top tier. Might well be a filming skeleton. They should bring Rugal, or even set up Krauser as the bad ass. You ever seen the fatal fury movies?

kingkold Not yet. Actually, i usually avoid games animations because they usually suck. But you're not the first dude that told me to watch a Fatal Fury.movie. Maybe ill watch it latter.

kingkold I only know Kraser from some fatal fury games and KOF 96. I really like him. Blitz ball!!! :)

Rugal and Krauser for president

***** Ah, okay then. Max should do a Boss Rage with this guy.... And maybe revisit some older KoF games, and make Boss Rages with those.

Can't forget about Magaki

he also decreased it's health by a bit. it rekt him easy as fuck the first fight

+D.R.Caleb 2002 Rugal would be another brutal one, or KoF XI

Magaki was so bullshit, i saw people walk away from the arcade after beating Shion.

Consider he jobbed passed everyone due to the low difficulty, this difficulty spike is very much appreciated

+Chris Deebo nah the boss is easy as fuck in the difficulty Max is, Just bad luck that he lost

dude had a brainbuster suplex as a throw lol

I think this boss is sort of the opposite. He seems really tough on the first round and then tones down a bit. I didn't seem to ever get his health down more then 10-20% with the point character but the rest of the fight seemed not too tough. I haven't beat him on the hardest yet but I only lost once on difficulty 4 of 5.

Alex Eggers on 3 i was able to win against him with alice, on my first time, and i didn't even know how to play as her, didn't lose a round, on 4 he's ok and 5 probably a little harder but i doubt he's worth a boss rage, boss rage has to be crazy hard to be cool.

Same kinda thing happened in SFxT, right? I think KOF did it first though, with the whole preset team = more story thing.

Nathan Hernandez KOF was the first. MVC borrowed the concept but just added the option of switching with a partner mid battle. And yeah SFxT also did the same thing.

Rival Schools did it as well way back when, play with any team you want but you want the plot you gotta stick to a team made of two of three school sets.

masterofdoom5000 Rival Schools! I completely forgot about that series XD Seriously Capcom needs to revive this franchise or either just make Batsu available as a playable character in MVC4 (If that will ever happen)

And there are endings for Antonov and Verse as well. You just have to make sure they get the final blow to get them.

the impossible ones that were designed to eat as many quarters as possible?

Pre-set teams give actual endings, though; Japan, China, Another World, and Official Invitation are the teams that have CG edits for the Verse cutscene.

Still has something that SFV doesn't have. Another nail in Capcom's coffin.

+GamerBear I meant SFV'S coffin. This game seems to have everything the FGC wants. Modes, roster, depth, combos All this considered, why should anyone bother with SFV? It's despised by most the fanbase and a lot of people are clamoring for it to die

+GamerBear Most the people want modes. Hell, lack of modes is why SFV is the flop it is. That; and the complete backlash against the gameplay. I hate USFIV, but the favorite SF that people want featured is obvious. put in a hole it cannot dig out of. Too late to salvage. Why I don't see any long term future/value and thinking if dropping the game. KOF'S problem is net code which will be addressed. By the time SFV fixes the 8F, it will have been too late to make a difference

Even as a SFV fan boy, I've accepted the games fate. came out 2-3 years too early

Need to play with a set team for some "true endings"

there is, pretty sure max missed out on story by not picking a canon team

You have to play through with all teams to get all angles of the story. Verse is connected to what happened after XIII, as a space time flux type thing.

If you pick a canon team (IE: 3 characters that are grouped in the character select screen) you have a different ending for each team. If you pay attention to the character select screen every 3 fighters are grouped.

Hint: Play China team to get a glimpse of the situation.

Hmoobthoj Frenchnraug Igniz , Magaki

the boss is more challenging on the hardest difficulty, max played it on normal

You are wrong about one thing, because the description you just typed suits perfectly for Orochi on KOF '97 dude.

4 years later, but AVPboy is right. Orochi was a chump

He looks like child Wonder Red

They show in XII during some character conversations that most of them know that there's something happening nehind the scenes. In this case very few people knew that Verse would appear. I think only Japan and Another world team expected something to show up.

Lol Foreal

Yes he is 😃

No the boss looks like 7 deadly sins (1st Demon)

@@isontv6166 that's exactly what crossed my mind when I saw the top of his head 💀

Lmao, stop comparing KoF to SF. Not even comparable.

Jin Zhang KoF came out approximately same time as SF. They have inspired each other, not one way.

That's not how the history is recorded. According to all accounts Street Fighter was first. That's not a subjective opinion either.

Alternatives: YOOO -----LET'S GO *Admiral Ackbar: IT'S A TRAP!* YOOO -----LET'S GO *Verse: NO U* YOOO -----LET'S GO OOOOOO... *...OOOOOH SH*T NOPE ABORT ABORT ABORT SHIIIIEEEET*

We miss you igniz you are always be the most powerful boss ever

Problem is, Antonov transforming assumes he's evil - he's not, just a overly confident warm and fuzzy bear. Kinda like DBZ's Hercule... perhaps in more ways than one.

+AshramAstarcia So Antonov is one of that "good guy" final bosses?

WITCH NEKO Yep.

+AshramAstarcia Well, thats a change.

+WITCH NEKO Not at all.It happened before with Chizuru.

Fairly short burst but yeah definitely Jotaro's move.

betacrest10 Even though jotaro doesn't own punching barrages. he only made it famous

those are wrestling moves dude;suplex,powerbomb & all that stuff.no need to keep reminding us of street fighter everytime,we have suffered enough

Agreed..... "genocide cutter!"

+LeoKingdom69 lol just had a Rugal episode

It's the difficulty that makes him seem that way imo. Normal teams at lvl 5 counter you alot in this and use alot of max combos if they hit confirm you. lvl 3 is easy mode, it's not normal.

+NirvanaNexus what number is normal then 4

King Ghidorah What I mean is lvl 3 is too easy to be normal. They really dont do anything.

Something looks terrible in this game, you say? Kappa

yup the characters are more contrasted then the background which looks washed out.. i guess it was suppose to resemble dust but poorly executed.

+Arcade Bretonneux Kappa Beach Party?

so it wasnt me i see, yeah looked terrible, the animations where still pretty cool though

If you want 50 fighters from the start without having to buy them as DLC, some corners are gonna have to be cut.

This bad designed final boss symbolizes the Chinese invasion to KOF world, standing out and not fit to the genre at all. A subtle reference to the real world SNK being bought off by a Chinese company.

Since when is it bought by these Chinese? I seem to see all references saying that it's still Japanese and its main headquarters are in Japan. Could you kindly explain?

Tencent(Chinese Company) bought a major stake in SNK.

Oguzhan Taskin for a year old post I enjoyed his design.

@@RetryOfHealGuy Tencent again, these guys have a claw in everything. Pubg, LoL, Arena of Valor (and I heard Overwatch) Now SNK? Stop Tencent.

Eduardo LEO Rem Esquivel yo cerre capitulo con el 13 el cual ha sido el mejor hasta ahora este 14 es pura mierda 3D

David Torres Zero or Igniz would like a word with you.

Ash was a total bitch, still mained him tho lol

Saiki is so cheap and annoying as well

+leroy sopacua Definitely a hell yea on tht!!!!!

+leroy sopacua lol saiki is nothing, magaki and igniz is the real nightmare

KoFXIII bosses are hard, until you realise you can just cheap them out with crouched hard kick over and over (even on hardest).

I hope it takes over Pokken tbh

+Dank Blastoise [wixMini] I really need to get out of this sour mindset against SFV. But I forgot Pokken was a thing

"Die Forever"? Like what the fuck does that even mean? Lolol I think he it was meant to be "Stay Down/ Stay Dead"

Geese came back from the dead, so why wouldn't his enemies do the same...?

Romdog G DAH FOR EBBUH!

Whining Ylthin because "People die when they are killed" Let that sink in slowly

Lol

Dang

Nop

No

AG21films because. it's not you dubass.

AG21films don't remember Hercule holding a tournament, being defeated, then having Cell drop in and take things over. Your comment is proof that people on the Internet, complain just to complain. L.

I'm pretty sure this is standard for KOF. I've only played two games in the series but thise final bosses were crazy with no real build up either lol

Which ones? And yes you would need to either know what happened at the end of kofxiii or play through many teams story to fully understand.

oWarlock360o the gba ones. Though that was a while ago so I might be remembering wrong.

There is actually so much going into this boss lol Yea its an asspull that will legitimise future dream matches, but it, and other elements from this story actually cover ALL pay arcs. Play through some more teams or revisit older kofs, if you have them.

This game seems to break the pattern that was established with the previous games. Although 12 broke the pattern by not having a story. It usually runs this way Dream Match, 3 game story arc, Dream match. Looking at beginning of the series 94 was the dream match. 95-97 was the Orochi arc with the stakes getting higher and higher with each game. Rugal out for revenge in 95, Goenitz trying to revive Orochi in 96, Then fighting Orochi in 97. The NEST saga did the same thing. Clone army in 99, Space laser in 2000, and dropping a space station 2001.The third arc the Tales of Ash kept the pattern going with building up the threat until you got Saiki in 13. This game jumps to the mega threat so fast it doesn't which leave much to build on.

As a character, Rugal is way more interesting than this... "thing".

Even EYEDOL is more interesting hahhah

Nostalgic cartoon, but still unfaithful to the original Double Dragon, with what given story the original had.
