Art of Fighting 3 - The One Time Robert got the Spotlight
In this video I take a look at the best but also most obscure Art of Fighting game in order to dissect and add meaning to it's weird plot.

Tekken Kazuya Ending Footage - The Gaming Restoration
Mario Kart DS footage - TempestWay
Neo Geo Battle Colisseum Footage - ULTIMATE PLAYER【TAS】
NOTES & CORRECTIONS:
AOF3's OST has actually grown on me considerably during the process of finishing this video and now I rank it higher than AOF2's OST.
I didn't realize this until later but Wyler literally gets knocked down by a Ko-Ou Ken, not a Haoh Shokou Ken like I thought. What a pussy.

To think that Robert would be that good as a character blew my mind. Good analysis on Robert overall!
14:30 Even AoF Yuri knows this Wyler guy was a bitch and only need a single Koouken to take him off.
The invincible dragon and raging tiger are back to fighting again
I find it funny how there are certain fighting game characters that I don’t start playing as until I find something about them that makes me like them. Now I want to play Robert in KOF XV because of this video.
I thought i was the only one thinking about Mario Kart hearing these themes lol

Man look at the still for 10:18 and tell me Yuri don't got it, that aside this is a great vid and thanks for bring us back to AoF.
Kicking ass AND stacking paper! 🤣
Your theory of history is very well told; I think it's one of the best. As a curious fact, I want to tell you that the Spanish translation is one of the worst-it's half in Spanish and half in Portuguese or both mixed at times. At the end, Robert tells Yuri, "Why go to Italy with you when we can go to Miami instead?" and she responds, "Is it because you want to see me in a swimsuit?" Robert answers, "Or maybe even a little more." There's no doubt that it's the strangest story in all of SNK.
Man AoF 3 art looks so crisp, so smooth.
you do a great service with these vids
I think it says a lot about the creator of AoF/ street fighter where he made the Ken be just as important as the ryu when going to snk, when in street fighter ken realistically should have been dropped decades ago but he’s more popular than ryu with casuals so that’s the only reason he’s relevant.

That's honestly a really cool part of it, and its rare you see the 'rich sidekick' type be the central focus of a story. It feels very refreshing coming from the same old Ryu stories while Ken just dicks around on the sidelines. Wish more games gave spotlight to that character archetype.

Wouldn’t really say Robert was just as important since he only had one game where he played a significant part.

It was a welcome surprise when I found out that an AOF3 track got remixed for KOF 15!!
Art of fighting not being great... Oh my... Art of fighting was huge on my country and transform the fighting games forever with the introduction of Super moves (desperate moves) and the game also become part of our pop culture. 🤨
Shit that ending theme is a bop
Honestly after this video, all I can do is agree and repeat your sentiment. Rock the *fuck* on, Robert Garcia.
You did an amazing job with this. Robert is my all time favorite fighting game character and is my original inspiration for training in karate. I also focus on kicks like he does lol! You left out one thing though, I’m pretty sure Robert defeated Ryo right before facing Wyler. Regardless your video is epic and if you could manage to somehow do another Robert vid that’d be great.

Be nice if they made a Anime Series if AOF 1,2,3

Actually, Fatal Fury and Art of Fighting would be good as movie adaptations. KOF on the other hand would be good as a series because of all the characters to explore.

There is an Art of Fighting anime OVA. It's fucking terrible. The two Fatal Fury OVA's and movie are quite good though, roughly on Street Fighter II the animated movie's level.
I LOVE Art of Fighting. I owned the very first one on SNES back in 1992. 😵💫God, that was 30 years ago. I'm getting old.
I saw this game the other day and I think it's the first AOF game that I actually wanted to play. Didn't get into 1 or 2 so I wrote off 3. It's pretty good.
Robert has always been my favorite shoto in fighting games.
Art of Fighting 2 looked absolutely next-gen back in the day, i had to go to the neighbor town just to play Neo-Geo machine with it.
AOF3 was GREAT i loved this game, i loved how it was unique and distinctive from other fighting games, the gameplay was awesome, graphically was stuning, and i do think it does have some good tracks (not all of them , but some are quite good) this game was soooooooooooo deserving more attention.
18:10 was the best speech ever accompanied with the great ending song afterwards Great one
Thanks for this video man. I appreciate it
thanks man!!
Great outro
Hey man I just own the game Neo Geo CD and I never understood this freaking game. A lot of is that I think it was unfinished like the game is actually unfinished.
Loved Art of fighting 2 more than any Fatal Fury games.
Have this on neo geo cd and ps2 compilation. Special move on the characters birthday will win the round
I mean aof2 soy sauce for geese is my favorite version tbh there’s is like a slow 40 second start up but it’s worth it imo
Thanks for sharing.
Lets goooooooo

Everything I'd ever heard about this game was that it was utter shit and you shouldn’t bother, but i feel like after watching yours and GuileWinQuote's videos on it, people just misunderstood it.
Except this game probably came out first.
The English translation for this game is pretty bad
Great music coda you chose!!!! 😍 😍 😍
