K9999, a character created by Eolith, was a blatant rip-off of Tetsuo from the movie "Akira," and the creators of said movie are not people you want to mess with in terms of copyright. There was a fan-made Spanish fan dub of the movie, which was a work in progress, that got a cease-and-desist letter from the creators. That's how serious they are about their property.
Considering there's already a remix of KD-0084 i Think they're gonna get two rival themes like Kyo and Iori so maybe Krohnen vs K' = KD-0084 K' vs Krohnen = Ruler of the Dark
@@J94nene but if Krow Boy fights Kula, Nameless' theme plays meaning Bootleg Tetsuo, & Emo Boy with a Half-White Hair are just the Prototype, Krohnen is the Final Product, like Syo Kirishima was a Concept for Kyo Kusanagi.
I'd be pissed if they played Napolitan Trance instead. That track is so off of for the characters of NESTS Team. Just like Ice Palace is unfitting theme for dramatic battle between Kula and Angel.
Lol I always thought of this team as a sort of “NESTS Family” in a weird way. Foxy looks like the mom and the rest are her children. I know that’s not actually the case but it’s interesting I guess.
Tanki Moshitma Yeah, um.... I never said I wanted K9999 to return. I said I wanted his replacement to return, that being Nameless. Also, as a reply to your last comment, Kula wasn't in 2003. So she did miss one game after 2001.
LoL, they will never revert back to his full Tetstuo Shima rip-off. Krohnen is the censored version of K9999. SNK don't want to get a lawsuit on their ass.
I miss K9999. He was the perfect rival for K' Also, I like his personality. He is a walking bomb. As a fan of Akira I think K9999 was a solid addition to KOF
@@clotildereyes9319 MajorBlitz K9999 was removed because SNK felt like the Akira homages were way too direct. I mean: •K9999 looks like Tetsuo with blue hair •K9999 has very similar abilites to Tetsuo •Most of K9999's quotes come from the manga/anime of Akira •K9999's Attack names are quotes from the movie •K9999's Attack animations are shot for shot from the movie •Both share the same voice actor Also, the guys who owns the Akira IP now are people you do NOT want to mess with. And concidering that SNK went bankrupt once before, they didn't want to take any risks. As much as I like K9999, I can understand his removal.
PKMark 08 since you started finding all these researches ,then i can see why he got removed and i understood all of this plus since when did the akira crew gotten more serious and dangerous at the same time
After KOF 2002, K9999 was still present in the SNK Playmore era. He was doing cameos like in KOF 2003 (PS2 port), '94 Rebout and Days of Memories. He still got official artwork. He appeared in the NESTS Saga Recap video (made by SNK Playmore) He was playable in some mobile games, *KOF X GAROU DENSETSU* and *SNK Dream Battle* (even Nameless was playable in those games) So yeah, the actual SNK just hates K9999
The difference here is that both of them are facing off each other as enemy, not friend/comrade so going with this song isn't right. "Ice Place" represent Kula back when she's still a NESTS killing machine and Angel's presence remind her of those days so i say it's suitable enough.
Amo este soundtrack 💜 de verdad gracias por subir esta joya, la buscaba desde hace mucho tiempo y ahora que k9999 regreso con mas razon amo este tema 😌
Hi, Myth! Hi, guys! I wanted to tell you that I took this bgm and I made something really fool! 😆 You know, Myth, I've been remaking KOF's bgms as Metal and this time I wanted to get "insane": I tried to remake "NESTS-Ruler of the Dark" in the style of Dream Theater (the most famous Progressive Metal band, for those who don't know)! If you guys are curious about it, it's on my channel so, if you want, take a listen and tell me what you think about it. In any case, I apologize for any trouble and I wish you to have a nice day! ❤
+Derly Martinez I honestly liked K9999 a lot more. Yes he was kinda an Akira rip off but he was such a bad assholes. Kicking his opponents on the ground and swearing all the time, that Nameless guy was just meh and kinda emo-ish. P.S. Because of Kula and K9999 this team looks terrifying... :(
I liked the atmosphere in this game, the rivalry Kyo / Iori K ' / Kyo K' / K Kula '/ K9999 , the playable characters exceeded record ... OST are poor ( that is by far the best ) but the plot was good
Okay, I'm just going to point this put, because this misinformation is being spreaded and believed way too much, but K9999 is NOT a copyright liability for SNK. If this were the case, SNK would completely remove him from all ports of KoF 01 and 02, but K9999 is in all ports of those games. K9999 is in the Dreamcast, PS2, and PSN ports of the the 01 and 02 games. If they Copyright issue was the problem, there would be no way K9999s character would be left in future ports of the game, since SNK would be held accountable for distrubiting material that they do not own at all, but it's not the case if nothing has come out of it.
2001 and 2002 have gotten recent digital re-releases, so unless it's some funky rule allowing direct ports of the OG game, then copyright probably doesn't have anything to do with it.
K9999 aside, can we talk about how much better Kula was as a mindless kill bot than an annoying child? Maybe that'd be treading too close to Leona's stoic personality that she has going on. But like, I want the Kula that no questions asked froze an entire satellite in space than WHERES MY ICE CREAM joke no. 1076
