this track was totally sensational at that time, and i'm still listening it in 2022. particularly i love the sound on the intro, it makes my heart thumped.
Qué mágico es el mundo, en los 90 jugábamos estos juegos ignorando todo alrededor de ellos solamente porque eran "divertidos" (para siquiera leer "algo" de créditos debías superarlos y aprovechar cada moneda insertada), hoy podemos leer miles y miles de artículos y detalles sobre los mismos, por si fuera poco interactuar con personas hablantes de cualquier idioma en tiempo real (gracias a traductores cada vez mejores). Gracias Hashem.
Man growing up with The King of Fighters series was, and still is, awesome. Great music, characters and gameplay for a fighting game. Will always remain my favourite fighting game franchise ever.
18 years have past and K.O.F 96 still is the best OST/AST for fighting games that ever existed!! 18 se passaram e K.O.F 96 ainda é o melhor OST/AST dos fighting games que já existiu!!
kof 96 playability was like when Raditz first stepped on earth in DBZ ..... it gave us such an overwhelming open minded idea of years of ultra epicity to come , ____ and they really delivered ... SNK really WAS THE BEST JAPAN COULD GIVE TO THE ENTIRE WORLD OF FIGHTING GAMES
@@bigshorty4855 KoF96 did try to break the mold by boldly cutting off many projectiles and interduced the rolling mechanic. I think if the devs had few more months of development/testing time it would have become a perfect expereince.
@ElBandito yea, it would have been 97 😂. 98 is basically a perfected 97. Actually, 96 with 97 superpause, comboing into command normals would have been fucking goat with 96's cast. The characters should ofcourse have said command normals and extra supers too though.
Those were the summer days when I played KOF. Man I remember that epic moment when I was playing KOF and after some minutes, a sudden dust storm appeared that darkened the sky and winds were blowing. Best part was it was during Esaka BGM stage ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
36 anos e SIM eu choro mesmo! Saia da escola e no caminho pra casa era certo gastar meu precioso 1 real que valia 5 fichas. Kof foi sem dúvida o melhor game de arcade que já existiu.
Mano, como a SNK conseguiu produzir tanto som foda para esse game? É simplesmente perfeito. Cada som encaixa perfeitamente para seus personagens. Ninguém faria melhor! SNK ❤
En 1994 y (a un a la fecha solo que no tan comun como antes) en México muchos niños y adolescentes sufrieron golpes de sus madres y perdida de dinero que debia ser destinado a la adquisicíon de tortillas, gracias a este juego y asi fue como hasta la fecha lo recordaremos con amor.
👍😊 una verdadera obra de arte este legendario rolon, me rompe la madre,, y como estas del kof y arcade , ni en un millon de años, despues de esta rola quisieron igualarla en otros kofs, y NOOOO, esta es la original y la mejor, quien no conosca esta rola no tuvo infancia en los kofs, saludos
Any of his songs in the Orochi Saga, Goodbye Esaka in 2000, Blaze in 2003, Esaka Remix in 2002 UM, Esaka Again in XIII and Yappari Esaka in the upcoming XIV (not released yet)
@GoosyGoose's Lair after some research he's quite a legendary drummer, esp in his solo. You might appreacite his work in Get'n Up for Women's Team AST in 96'
Eu adoro o Kyo, um excelente Protagonista. Ele está especialmente destruidor nos King of Fighters 97, 98, 2003 e XI. Abraços ao maior Kyozista que eu conheço, Diogo do @FocanoGame. Valeuzis!!!
Yo para hacer bici con la de esaka 2002 um y me dan unas ganas de pedalearle cabron a la bici estatica saludos Bro y si escuchas esaka de KOF Kyo de PS1 se oye orgásmica con esaka 99 arranged
Pfft. You're just jealous that King of Fighters is still better than C(r)apcom in terms of AST and gameplay. In everything else however, Capcom still dominates.
Hear the arranged soundtrack from the King of Fighters compared to Capcom's OST for Street Fighter (2, not the one in 1987.) You can see that SNK put a lot of time on this part of the AST compared to Guile's theme. Guile's theme sounds like the arranged theme of Zero's theme from Mega Man X3. I think Esaka's theme is better than Guile's theme, but it's on par with Ryu's. As for the gameplay and aesthetics, SNK is still going strong, but Capcom still keeps the slow motion defeat at every game, and the problem is that it gets stale after quite a while. True, SNK's first games had the slow motion defeat too, but after KOF '98, they decided to alter it up a bit to make sure the fans are still on the ropes. My point is - and you can call it dumb if you want to - that SNK is still dominating Capcom in terms of gameplay, and arranged soundtrack, AKA AST. Capcom dominates in terms of art on their own characters.
Leon JO I'll take Seoul Road over this. But this one is still one of the best. The old SNK made the best fucking music for their games. Capcom couldn't hold a candle to SNK's music
Guilty Gear would like to have a word with you. But really, Goodbye Esaka has this trashed far as I'm concerned. Something about farewell songs that makes it have more punch.
This song got me listening to video game music waaaaayyyyy back in 2003/2004. It was the first time a game I had played years earlier, where I distinctly remembered the amazing soundtrack years after having played the game. It's because of this game's soundtrack that I've enjoyed branching out my musical tastes for almost 20 years. I owe A LOT to the KoF 96 OST and AST for starting me off on an amazing musical journey.
every time when i heard this song...reminds me those days in the arcades spending time not only with my friends also reminds me an age when the fighting games are in the glory and now in the 2020 withing for the KOF XV i realized i am privilege to live in that era.
Pra mim lembra os tempos no centro de Recife, quando ia no curso preparatório para entrar na escola técnica. Ficava perambulando nos montes de fliperamas que tinha e também nos sebos na procura de revista estrangeira de mulher pelada peituda, hahahahahaha...... Vai ver por isso que não passei. 😅

Lembro que meu irmão comprou esse jogo pirata pro sega saturno e o disco não rodou. Fiquei bolado e pensei que tivessem vendido um cd virgem pra nós. Resolvi botar no rádio só pra testar. Do nada toca esse som aí…. Pqp Esse dia foi louco.
The look and feel of SNK style, the contemporary trends, and the soundtrack... Look of that they achieved back them!! They were heroes! There is nothing like that today. Maybe Yakuza games atmosphere comes second, but SNK was just 20 years ahead of their time.
Most of classic SNK design was about more than just the game, on the early 90's the ex-director of Street Fighter 1 wanted to do a game that heavily focuses on the story and presentation than anything else. But the thing is that Fatal Fury got shadowed by Street Fighter 2 that rocketed on his wacky characters and gameplay compared to the stiff gameplay that fatal fury had, less wacky characters and stupidly cheap ai. But SNK kept improving each year on their craft rather than releasing the same game over and over with minimal changes like Capcom did with Street Fighter 2
Pusieron esta canción en el último nivel del metal slug defece donde peleabas contra personajes del kof, simplemente épico ya que usaba todos los personajes humanos del metal slug, esas batallas eran épicas
Sempre achei isso, mas achava que de repente era o único a pensar assim. Fico feliz em ver que muita gente considera a trilha sonora do KOF 96 como sendo a melhor da série; Você vê de tudo na trilha: hard rock, pop, jazz, blues, até música clássica na trilha do Wolfgang Krauser. Perfeito!
Em comparação, o KOF 97, q eu acho o melhor em termos de jogabilidade (alguns preferem o 98 ou 2002, mas eu sou mais o 97), tem uma trilha sonora bem ralé. Musicalmente monótona (exceto a trilha da Blue Mary e a do trio Orochi, na minha opinião). Alguns trios nem música tem, passaram a identificar certas músicas com cenários, e músicas ruins, por sinal.
fabiozatara Você fala ralé a trilha do 97 né? também acho bem fraca, apesar de combinar, mas com certeza tem uma que merece um top , o momento da Leona/iori Orochi, a música tema é sensacional. meu top 1 fica entre ela e a Esaka do 96.
O bagulho é que kof 96 tinha música e história, mas jogabilidade... Vide personagens de agarrão... Terminei com todos os times,mas os que tinham personagens de agarrão eram difíceis...
O Kof 96 foi o melhor de história na minha opinião, principalmente aquela finalização bruta e seca do Iori :PPP deu muita expectativa, diferente do 97...
A música passa ideia de : suspense, adrenalina, e esperança, de uma só vez. Talvez, um reflexo do Japão e sua crise financeira nos anos 90, a sociedade japonesa como um todo.
