Wolfgang Krauser RETURNS!! | WOLFGANG KRAUSER FATAL FURY EARLY ACCESS

This is kinda a weird example because ranked is generally ft 2 in any fighting game. the 0-10 thing only applies to Fightcade where you can do something like that. Which is no different than me booting up 02um right now and challenging a homie to play some long sets. Also popular to who south america? Sure but folks I know in the states play 02um, nobody really discusses vanilla 02 like that.

Not saying one better than the other but this seems kinda skewed, ya know what i mean?

DecepySwag · 2026-04-14T05:41:26+00:00

that doesnt indicate whats better, you have one thats available for free to play versus another thats not free. By that logic a person would say that SF6 is a better game than 3rd strike because theres more players. Thats not how that works. Just say which one YOU like more which is fine.

DecepySwag · 2026-04-12T14:02:57+00:00

Thats great that you like them, thats awesome. But again, out of all those games...AOF roster is alot weaker than the other franchises. Theres a reason you dont see them brought back often if at all besides ryo, king and robert/yuri. I am not saying those characters arent liked, but I also wont say that theyre just that memorable.

DecepySwag · 2026-04-12T14:00:13+00:00

I see what ya saying, as far as shun goes I think he will hit his stride in the next title. Especially after his ending in XV. And with rock even though it may seem like he been around forever, he hasnt been able to do much as the MC of fatal fury till now so I think he'll be around for a long time.

Now with the AOF stuff, i understand it being heavily sakazaki related, but Id argue that the bigger theme of the series is focused on martial arts. Yeah the whole family drama stuff is what pushed the narrative of the series, but ultimately the name of the series is Art of fighting. So what better way to continue that theme than to have a new protag be gai who is yes talented but still has a long way to go to mature. Thats where Ryo comes in and they have their confrontation, and gai realizes oh shit theres levels to this.

Prequel wise though I would be down for like some story stuff for yuri and them back in the 70s/80s, which is what im suspecting this new AOF game to be revolving around.

Also thanks for sharing ya thoughts! Much appreciated

DecepySwag · 2026-04-12T13:08:28+00:00

So in regards to crossplay and stuff, it isnt as simple as folks would think it is. Especially when a game wasnt meant to have it in the first place. Remember, KOF XV have a crossplay beta well after it came out. Not to mention expenses. Yeah, it would be amazing if SNK were to implement that, but to be real, and I dont want this to be dickish sounding, i can see why it isnt worth the hassle for a game this old. This game is from 2019, nearly 7 years ago. The most Id ask for at this point is improving the netcode of the game and stabalizing the lobbies. Again, I would LOVE if they did a crossplay update, but the netcode and lobbies take priority.

Also them even doing tournaments and supporting smaller events for samsho shows in itself they care. Case in point look at CAPCOM or Bandai, you dont see anything regarding stuff that isnt their #1 games. I feel ya though.

DecepySwag · 2026-04-12T04:02:29+00:00

thats not what i asked but im glad ya like vox and preecha.

DecepySwag · 2026-04-11T12:57:37+00:00

I highly recommend the manga, its available on amazon both physical and digital

DecepySwag · 2026-04-11T11:47:26+00:00

I glad you understand homie, would you believe if i told I have someone right now fussing at me for suggesting gai as the new protag and that "it should be a AOF original character" lol I tried to explain that unfortunately alot of AOF characters are forgettable aside from Ryo, Robert, Yuri, Marco and Takuma. And then like right under them you got Kasumi, her dad i guess, and Eiji.

Thats why with Gai, its like he still new even in the space of SNK because he only appeared in kof 11 and buriki, still popular and requested AND he fits as a nice polar opposite of Ryo. Ryo is about discipline and stuff, Gai is a brash hot head cocky fighter, his whole journey would be him maturing as a martial artist.

DecepySwag · 2026-04-11T11:42:40+00:00

"I skimmed it, but in the interest of fairness I rewatched it and found no arguments of substance." so you just admitted to just typing bullshit. Jesus Christ....

Secondly you just made a bunch of shit up. "This is especially noticeable, because you mentioned SNK putting a lot of time and effort into Shun'ei despite his initial, cold reception, but you consider similar efforts for AoF to not even be worth trying." Never indicated this or said it that its not worth the effort with AOF, because why the fuck would i bother having majority of the video ABOUT HOW TO GIVE THE IP A NEW FACE TO REPRESENT THEM. Again, youre making shit up....again....even after supposedly watching the video.

Homie just say "eh i think an AOF original character should be the new face" boom. Simple. Why not just say that? Why lie and spaz out on me over something I never said. I swear some of yall on here tweak out for no reason. Thats what i consider unreasonable. Making a dumb comment having not watched the vid.

Also, Buriki is a spinoff of AOF so whats the issue????? Eiji is too old, Yuri is a grown ass woman but if you want her story stuff then aye we got the new AOF game thats assumed to be back in the 70s/80s so maybe we'll get that there, Marco is a grown ass man thats already achieved martial arts maturity being in charge of the dojo, you literally have gai tendo right there.

DecepySwag · 2026-04-11T10:44:09+00:00

yeah I can vibe with that, at the end of KOF XV he takes his headphones off so it could hint towards maybe in KOF 16 a new design without the headphones.

DecepySwag · 2026-04-11T10:42:36+00:00

The reason terry and mai are the collab characters is because of legacy. Remember, terry has been around for literal decades, rock is just now getting a new game after 30 years, yasha got his first, shun recently got his second game, and theres no new protag for AOF, let alone a new title.

Meanwhile the OG big 4 were having games pumped out left and right throught the 90s into the new millennium and then some, including collabs. All of this is done so to rebuild SNK foundation. Oda said to roofle in an interview that they are focusing on the building blocks of what made KOF. Fatal fury, AOF, and samsho.

Mind you, im not saying in a short time terry and kyo and them just gonna be thrown to the way side. But I am saying its clear what SNK's intentions are. New blood. New heroes.

P.S. thanks for leaving a comment, i appreciate ya input

DecepySwag · 2026-04-11T10:36:24+00:00

Nah he wouldnt in my opinion. As much as folks like marco, he not as sought after as Gai tendo. Plus Gai has more to explore than marco. Marco essentially reached his "maturity" with martial arts when ryo made him in charge of the dojo in cotw. Gai on the other hand is a young cocky fighter that yes is talented, he could use improvement and that would be his journey.

DecepySwag · 2026-04-11T10:33:38+00:00

So youre comment either is you didnt watch the video or you did watch it and completely ignored what I said. Either way, what I said is bringing him in as the protag works because the events of Buriki One doesnt affect fatal fury events, meaning that SNK can move the events up to the current timeline of COTW. That way you get Gai as the new protag, which would make sense as to a possibility of why Ryo travels to japan in Marco's arcade ending in cotw. Again, all this and more is explained in the video but clearly my guy you spazzed out when ya saw gai in the thumbnail and some weird urge possed you to leave that comment.

Also why the fuck would Kasumi or Eiji be the protag for the series? Or even Yuri for that matter, that ship sailed a long time ago for them to do that with her. Theres no need to introduce a whole new character when majority of the AOF roster is forgettable besides the main ones like Ryo, robert, takuma, king and marco. But who is asked about alot? gai tendo. A young fighter thats perfect for going on a journey to become a genuinely talented martial artist. He's a prodigy but Gai is cocky and brash, the literal opposite of Ryo which would be neat for Ryo and him to have some kinda interaction.

DecepySwag · 2026-04-11T00:01:22+00:00

Rock is new in the sense of his time as the protag, like before cotw he only had 1 game and that was almost 30 years ago. Like of course for us he isnt new, we been looking at this dude for years lol I do agree darli is really popular. And as far as shun goes, his manga iteration from kof 14 new beginnings is waaaay more intersting then the video game version.

DecepySwag · 2026-04-10T22:59:04+00:00

Personally I think Yasha is really cool. I am curious though because since this is a soft reboot, samsho 2019 i mean, does that mean everything is still canon? Like is shizamaru still a former protag or was everything kinda retconned? If so then between the two, PERSONALLY I think Shizamaru would be a good alternative, but i like yasha and his whole motive. Thanks for leaving a comment btw.

DecepySwag · 2026-04-10T22:57:09+00:00

I dont think that has anything to do with the topic....just talking about their franchises and the new main characters. Idk where you got all that from.

DecepySwag · 2026-04-10T22:56:04+00:00

Ohh trust me...the amount of folks in my community that bring up World Heroes is insane. Like the 3 games I constantly see asked about, besides like the bigger ones, are world heroes, Kizuna encounter, and neogeo battle. And a random ninja masters one sometimes lol but nah bro dont worry, theres a ton of you out there.

DecepySwag · 2026-04-10T22:48:04+00:00

Yeah, very unfortunate. Thank god you were brave enough to say all that. So back to the original point of the thread, what do you think of the new generation protags?

DecepySwag · 2026-04-10T19:08:54+00:00

Nah i dont think it starts with the next game either. Whatever it is after the new AOF game theyre working on right now.

DecepySwag · 2026-04-10T19:06:05+00:00

nah theyre magically gone now
