I would've never imagine someone taking a game like KOF and analize it on the style and design side.❤️ Personally, Iori, K', Benimaru and even Rugal andKrizalid have been characters with designs that have gravitated with me the most. And from XV, I have to say that Shermie's and Dolores' design really catched my eye
Im not a fan of Billy’s hair in the upcoming fatal fury game it reminds me too much of Guy Fieri
Huh? That's random, lol xD
Jojo fashion is criminally under discussed.
ill always love kof because of how they adopt and alter characters fashion sensibilities. the same vibe and aesthetic but just showing off that range so fucking good
Exactly
Xiao Lon's look with the long sleeves reminds me of Mienshao the Pokemon, since you mentioned her having a 'human Pokemon' vibe. I wouldn't doubt it if her inspo was the same as Mienshao's.
This is like a Falcoon vindication video. I remember alot of his Maximum Impact designs not being especially liked back in the day. Seeing so many looks being appreciated makes me wish this series had more attention outside of the genre fanbase
Great point! Lots of great looks that break the characters out of their standard style
Do Nana and Paradise Kiss!!<3
I think Ash Crimson first outfit is my favorite from the whole series S2
this was a joy to watch! really fun review of what makes jjba's characters so memorable, i especially appreciate that you started off with later parts as that is when i think araki's designs are at their most interesting one thing to note that i find really interesting about jojo as a whole - there is no definitive colors, jojo doesnt have any consistency in color across media and that is an intentional choice! araki uses the black and white element of manga to his advantage and imbudes his designs with many various color combinations on the book cover illustrations/panels this essentially lets you run wild with your color palette and picture a character in however many hues you want
Nice outfit damnnn
Bless 🙌🏽
Iori reminds me to Morrigan when it comes to their outifts and battle pose. They don't need to change it, when it's right, it's right.
My favorite is Robert '96
Great choice
Dropping you a Like just for the mention to Ms. Frizzle and The Magic Schoolbus.
Bless
I love all the appliqué and details araki always adds- the fact that the buckles/notions on Rohan’s clothes are always pen nibs, referencing his career as a manga artist for example. Or all of Bruno’s zippers calling back to his stand- or the little grey horse on Johnny’s beanie, Giorno’s ladybugs. I could go on forever LOL. Great video!! Love from a fellow libra 💖 (also weather report has always given me Gucci runway 🤷♂️)
This is a much better format i think! I like learning your favourites but comparing character designs throughout a series history is fire. More pls
Thanks for the feedback. There's definitely room for both - glad folks are enjoying the variety 😀
I love how he literally looks like Jojo character
I never looked at it much as a "fashion" sense when looking at characters before sawing your first kof vid in it. I aways looked at it in more broad Character design sense (not only their outfit but how they present themselves as a whole, posture, fighting style, how they sound how they move, etc), which overtime made me change to liking/resonating way more with Street Fighter than KOF (and ok, tho character design is on the top of my reasons to like games, gameplay has a lot of weight on it too). And back to KOF, hurts me to say but its SO TRUE about KOFXIII! It still sits as my favorite KOF game, visually I think its the most impressive it ever looked, not a fan of their 3d (specially when you look at what they are competing against), but their pixel art was magestic!... but they butchered so many designs on that game T-T xDDD! Loving to see a fresh take from "outside my camp", having a lot of fun with it. If you consider taking a chance with street fighter, I'd recommend focus only on the street fighter 6 cast first to see if it interest you, I think its the best the game has ever looked on a fashion sense, even tho I love some older timers design so much and praying to eventually get them back in this game (together with that frash very well designed new take). Srry for the long comment xD Edit: You looking great btw, felt like you could be a character on the game with this look!
Dude you're badass
Bless 🙌🏽
Yaaaaaas
Yaasss
"Even from his debut, we can tell that Robert is hot" Just funny when isolated
Haha, I had to express that
of course shermie is a knockout! shes canonically a fashion designer uwu. and yashiro is her bf so makes sense hed be the best dressed of the three leather jackets :b im loving these series!! im a huge kof fan and ive been trying to learn more about fashion, this is so perfect 🫶
That makes so much sense - such a super stylish couple
This video was like watching a runway with commentary, I absolutely loved it!👏👏👏😍 But hearing all the characters names made me think that it would be fun if models had stagenames like some musicians do (maybe they already, do I dont know much). I thought that some of the Jojo names were super cool as runway names😆
Funny thing Athena hd sprites looks in 12 and 13 are her look in the psycho soldier arcade game that predates kof and art of fighting/fatal fury Edit. Same goes to kensou as well
Thanks for another banger video X! I can listen to you break down fighting game outfits all day!
Thank you so much - appreciate the ongoing support 🫶🏽
The second you showed the AI version of AC/DC's outfit idea I said "That's basically just narancia" just for you to agree a second later lol The kars reimagined one gives me a mix between Risotto Nero and Abbachio Leone from part 5
This might be my new favorite late night channel, loving it!!!
Yeessss - love that
I was hoping to see Ash in this list but still love the vid
I might do another KoF evo video for the smaller scale glow-ups.
I just subbed because I think you might do a Street Fighter 6 fashion analysis very soon - and I'm looking forward to that!
Thanks! Idk about very soon, but eventually for sure.
KoF13 is always a weird one. They were going a very specific direction with the character design, moving away from the more grounded/realistic look of many of the earlier ones. Really leaned into body type differentiation, nearly to the point of parody. Clark and Ralph are so over muscled they shouldn't be able to move. The big thing with 13 is that its animation is incredibly fluid and a joy to see in motion. But I completely understand why the art design is divisive. As a video suggestion for the future, you might want to consider re-analyzing Kyo and Iori together. They're rivals, and are always contrasted against each other. I've never really considered if their design/fashion compliment or contrast each other or not.
Funny thing about Robert's XI outfit is that it comes from anther game enirely, they just plop the sprite into the PS2 version of KOFXI (which I don't mind, it's my favorite look of Robert). Side note, I am a bit surprised you didn't mention Ryo's other outfits, primarily when he becomes Mr. Karate II (Then again, that'd be leaning into SNK fashion than just specifically KOF).
Robert is everything, and easy fashion. Ryo, among many other characters, couldn't seem to fully break away from karate/typical martial artist looks. Solid aesthetics - but not nearly as fashion as the top evos i prefer ;)
@@XDF That’s fair. Ryo’s most drastic look is just him ditching the gi for another martial artist outfit lol
Love seeing someone out of latin america talking about KOF. This franchise deserves love from all over the world
15:27 its doppio not vineger
Do your research ;)
His full name is doppio vinegar bruh
Not to be an ass but Lisa Lisa is from Battle Tendency, not Phantom Blood
Both titles are listed, she was a baby in Phantom Blood ;)
@@XDF I guess but she wore those fits in BT
@geschnitztekiste4111 both titles are listed...
thanks for the video
Of course!
More of these evolution videos please!
Nice editing and outfits!
22:09 By the way that's actually a completely different character! Kusanagi is one of the many clones that were created using the original Kyo's DNA.
Interesting - thanks for sharing. Most Kyo evolution videos included that version, so I just went with it. :P
You've been putting in WORK lately! Love your videos!!
Yes! Thank you! Ready to assert my channel up on here :D
I always enjoyed the KOF character designs a lot more than Street Fighter II’s ever since I first saw them as a little kid. There’s nothing wrong with the latter its just that my preference was always the cool, chic and hip men and women. The older games have aged well in terms of that. Shermie’s outfit is my all time favorite though.
Not sure if you're aware, Athena's biggest special move in kof xiii show her past clothes kzread.info/dash/bejne/fpidw9yBaayyh7A.html
Thanks - I know. Doesnt help her evolution imo
@@XDF love your videos! Got here because Kof. Gonna share with some friends
Thank you for the vid :) It was quite fun to see both the outfit evolution and your opinion on each one! ps.: 19:22 I know it's basically the same design, but what about Athena KOF XII design? It's the same but dark blue sooo
I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Personally, I dont think the XII athena outfit brings significant value to her style trajectory. :P
I love seeing kof being talked about its the best fighter around imo
Lien Neville is peak character design to me and the reason why I love female characters showing cleavages 🥰 Glad to find people who doesn't hate Mignon Beart 😄 She is overhated FALCOON, an artist who worked for SNK during the 90s and especially in the SNK Playmore days, did the designs for the original characters in the KOF Maximum Impact games, he also made the alternate costumes for the characters in those games. He was ahead of the time. After leaving SNK he became a freelancer. Nowadays he does official artworks for the current SNK
Thanks for the insight - someone else mentioned FALCOON as well - its good to know some stuff about the creatives behind the work.
Pastel is such a bland sounding name for such vibrant colors
Lol - ok
Not me lowkey hoping for a Tekken analysis (especially for T8 because GOD there have been so many amazing glowups 😭)! Appreciate your awesome videos! You're underrated af!!
Appreciate the support! Lots of fighting games requested - eventually for sure, just gotta mix other stuff in between ;)
Soooo, I gotta say Kensou has my favorite evolution of outfits from wearing a casual jean jacket combo to wearing a whole Chinese Kung fu outfit
KOF XIII Kensou is peak Kensou Easily his best look
I did like that glow-up for him
I never imagined I'd be into "fashion analysis" but it's a lot of fun having X explaining and dissecting clothes.
Yesss - always glad to have folks like you who dig the vibe :D
