    Honestly the art of fighting would make a good 80s movie
  • @djb1ge
    All these years later and I still can’t get over how gorgeous KOF 13 looks.
  • @sawy5613
    5:18 in the most shocking reveletio-it was Takuma ofc
  • @IrishKyokushin
    Ryo is criminally underrated. Its good to see him getting some love.
  • @KenMasters.
    Art of Fighting takes place in 1978 where SNK itself was born... ... But the Art of Fighting universe looks more like 1992 than 1978.
  • @ShinySoupCan
    I always felt Ryo had an underrated backstory. Great work.
  • @codyever
    This guy's life should be made as anime by a top studio and it's gonna rock the sky as high as it can be! He's REALLY strong even more than Terry whom take alot credit and praise over him...
  • @MegamanNG
    We got a double whammy. Ryo and Robert are back forming a new Art of Fighting team... with King.
  • @KingJaeTV
    I didnt know Geese had such a strong role in AOF1 and 2. I just thought he was a hidden boss. Nice watch!
  • "The next generation of the Sakazaki family isn't going to see the light of the day anytime soon" I don't know about that... My boy Robert has some mad game. Maybe the next one comes from Yuri
  • Things constant in KOF: Athena having a new look in each game. Kyo having a new outfit in each saga. Benimaru. Ryo's road to becoming Mr. Karate 2.
  • @mariolemus12
    I always liked how after Ryo found out King was a girl an awkward love story blossomed between them in the later games of KOF 😂
  • @tyrantravealpha
    I've always loved Ryo. His intensity, flurry style attacks and just general badass design makes him a perfect storm.
  • @Bthun344
    6:24 nothing says badass like riding a motorcycle in getas 😂
  • Capcom has Chris forcing Leon to continue the Redfield bloodline Takuma: Ayo, I’m into dat shit!
  • @solowingace
    Make kingxryo happen already. It's been too long a wait!!!!
  • @boxtupos7718
    I loved how in King Of Fighters: New Beginning Ryo could split an entire stack of thick blocks of ice and the entire building his standing on. Even beat Shun'ei who had MC powers going out of his ass.
  • @Hektols
    It was surprising to find out that Art of Fighting 2 was actually the first King of Fighters Tournament.
  • Man Ryo have always been on of my favorites SNK characters along with Yuri, Takuma, Robert and King, but I feel that SNK doesnt hold Art of Fighting as high as it should be, they have become the goofy team in story when it comes to the time line of KOF, and I feel Art of Fighting and Fatal Fury deserve been taking more serious, be more involve with the main story in each game, rival Kyo and Iori for a main character spot and actually contribute more in the actual canon and not be just goof balls doing wacky shenanigans behind scenes, I mean Ryo was the reason for KOF to even exist, give the man more RESPECT in story. Gameplay wise they are fine they have always been good to strong tier characters, but I mean in story, I want them to feel more important.
