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.
Sources:
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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
