I liked AoF 3 a lot (maybe except for the roster designs), so I'd love to see a comeback as a 3D fighter, specially because Tekken is my favorite fighting game.

People that werent around back then really missed on arcades. Just walking in and it was dark but loud as shit. Street fighter just took everything over. People lined up, putting theirquarters on the machine to show they were next. I remember the weekend they got mortal kombat. I saw subzeros fatality and it blew my mind. The xmen game, the simpsons game, gauntlet. When mortal kombat 2 came out it was a wrap. There was a pizza place right near my bus stop that had it. You would have like 20 kids in there after school.

Yuri's friends do show up in AOF2 actually. In her ending. I just checked Yuri's ending. They're there.

AOF2 was a great looking game and but as you guys said, it was BRUTALLY hard. I could never get past the 3rd fight, playing on level 4 in the arcade.

AI was definitely broken, probably more so than any fighting game ever but playing against another opponent I believe it is the best game of the the 3.

Jack looks a lot like pro wrestler Terry Gordy

Art Of Fighting had some decent environments, it would be cool to see one of them in KOF XV.

When I first saw Art of Fighting 3 on KZread many years ago, I could not believe it was running on a 16-bit system - amazing!! Stunning video game.

He also claims it was difficult to use the Neo Geo's sprite scaling, when it just meant shrinking the original characters using a built-in hardware feature.

That was the first game i saw and played with those "beat down supers". i called it "grown man ass whippin supers" as kid lol I loved AOF or watching play it when i didnt have money to play. I was wowed by the bruises on the characters faces and how big the characters were too. The sound effect hits of the machine gun punches and kicks.

The fact that some channels says Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo started the super moves when Art of Fighting beat them by a couple of years. And if I'm guessing right, Takuma may have been one if the main characters from the SNK game Street Smart, given there is a man in gi and a blonde female that could be Ryo and Yuri's mother but they never mention what town or city they're in.

@@NeoGeoNow fully agreed. I can't wait to see what is in store for Fatal Fury. I'm thinking on the Yakuza styled AOF game, they could do like a "Story of Southtown" franchise that starts in the AOF timeline and goes all the way through the Fatal Fury timeline and it has carry over events so the things you affected while playing through AOF are still affected as you play through the Fatal Fury timeline. For instance, if you're fighting Jack Turner in the Kyokugen dojo in the AOF Southtown Story, when you come back to the dojo as the Fatal Fury cast, you still see some damages that were done to the building that havent been repaired or forgotten over the time. Of course Geese would go from the young geese version to the modern geese. Still in the Yakuza/Shenmue style. Southtown Saga: AOF and Southtown Saga: FF would be great

Great documentary. As a SNK games lover, getting to know the character's original draft designs makes my day. By the way in the AoF2 TV commercial at 22:54, the female who portrayed Yuri is Ayumi Hamasaki (浜崎あゆみ). More commonly known as ayu, she later became a popular music artist and still currently has a huge influence on today's J-POP industry.

I feel like if they did with AoF3 like they did with SF3 and released updates to it, it would’ve had a different outcome and opinion about it in the long run.

Ahh a young geese causing trouble no matter what era

This movie is such a part of me but ironically I didn’t even realize that it had traveled with me for all these years.

Even Geese Howard was young at one time lol! I get a kick out of how he lets out that "ooohhh!!" scream when he gets knocked down in AOF2 LOL!

Your videos are very good and enjoyable. Small Trivia: In the CM of AoF2, the girl on the screen for a brief moment, who plays Yuri is Ayumi Hamasaki, who will become the queen of J-pop some years later

7:06 It is not a "must" to press A or B button first before you can use C button. It defaults to strong punch at the start of the round, and will switch to the strong attack version of the last pressed weak attack button. 8:11 You only need to hold down either A button or B button to charge the spirit bar, not both at the same time. For KOF series, you have to press all three A+B+C buttons.

I played it on SNES first, I remember I couldn't believe how big the characters were.

Cool channel man, as a neo geo fan and mvs owner with 25+ original games I appreciate the detail you go into in your videos.

Art of fighting 3 was the best game. I use to play it story mode speed running it to 5 mins.

If a sequel or reboot of Art of Fighting were to be made I'd imagine that it would be like Tekken 7. Akuma and Geese shows it can be done.

I hope the make part 4 with same graphics this game is legend

"Well done," on this AoF documentary, Sir Nabil! 👏😎🗣🤚❤‍🔥"#HAOW_KEN‼"

Lenny Creston was hard for me to beat too. Lolol

This is a great documentary and you did a good job..... But there are some facts that you left out. Did you know that Ryo Sakazaki (despite being born in Japan) is actually being only half Japanese? Ryo is Japanese-American. His Japanese side is from his father, Takuma and his American side is from his late mother, Ronnette.

I love AOF! Robert Garcia is my all time favorite

They should have released a fourth game in 3D just like Street Fighter EX. I also would have loved to see an AoF vs FF videogame similar to Street Fighter vs Tekken.

art of fighting 2 is the best of all series

If Takashi's sequel to Street Fighter is Fatal Fury then Art of Fighting is Hiroshi's prequel to Street Fighter, with him not being able to use Ryu anymore Ryo is definitely a chance to continue with Ryu the character he created. Also Art of Fighting is actually not Takuma's fighting game debut a younger version of Takuma was one of the main protagonist in SNK's second fighting game Street Smart in the game he's simply called Karate Man hence why he's called Mr. Karate in Art of Fighting.

Not much I didn't already know, but it's good to have everything in one video. 😉 One thing that always stuck out to me about this short-lived series is that it really had much more the feel of SNK figuring out just how much they could get away with than any kind of attempt at fun or memorable fighting games. The first was _incredibly_ stiff and clunky, the second hideously unbalanced with lots of hopeless matchups, and the third alternatively sluggish and requiring impossible reaction times. Granted, innovations like spirit meters, high-risk high-reward desperation moves, and snuffing out projectiles with attacks were nifty niche ideas, but there's a reason niche ideas often stay niche. To be brutally honest, I always found the Fighter's History games (which were _much_ more shameless ripoffs of Street Fighter 2) higher quality _and_ more enjoyable than Art of Fighting. It was a spite move by a bitter Capcom castoff, and once that stopped being relevant, so did it. It added to the lore of Southtown and provided a natural rivalry to the Fatal Fury squad, and that's the extent of AoF's legacy. Hey, more than Time Killers ever got. 🙂

Hiiiiii...Tahhhkkkkkk.. Hwwwhhaaawww Shhhoowww KkkoohhhwwKen.. Yeah,I remember back then..a 'herborist' friend got a Neo geo aes..we played Last resort..Fatal fury 2 and Art. The feeling was awesome,that was real power and a real sensation to hit the opponent. I bought the aes with Fatal special less a year later. I will always remember when Ryo appeared in the ending and after with all the Kof. Art 2 was really hard to play,a small hit and boommm like walking on the moon. Art 3 was beautiful..but only hardcore 2D gamers own one. If you could make a documentary with Neo geo land..I keep just 2 tolkens and tickets..like sacred artefacts. 31.20..it's not the original art 3 us.. (he s full white).

Man! We have to agree on something. Pachinko animations are beautiful and hype building! Sadly it's only on pachinko...

I was operating arcade machines back in the day, and when i heard my supplier had aof3, i hurried my butt over to go and immediately buy it.. however only a minute into testing the cart, i backed off the deal.

As much as I liked AOF, I still cannot stand the tap/hold button mechanic for weak/strong attacks that AOF employed. Getting Ryo, Robert, Takuma, Yuri, and King to play as they did in KOF94 was what cemented KOF as my favorite series.

AOF 3 is the SF3 New Generation of the series it had a character roster that were all new and so little to no people had any interest in them the gameplay and mechanics were mediocre to bad at times and their appeal was lackluster

Art of Fighting 2 was far too hard with cheating AI. Art of Fighting 3 was flawed as just one hit knocks you or your opponent down. Also feels janky with slow input.
