I’ll bet you weren’t expecting this! It’s a surprisingly recent KoF94 match from a Japanese tournament featuring every King of Fighters game – and this Kim player is brutal.
players: 大将 (Yuri/Mai/King) vs 777 (Kim/Chang/Choi)
observations:
Honestly, i have no idea what this game is supposed to look like, but that’s what makes it fun to watch. Just like everyone else, i played KoF94 for a little while back when it was released, but it looked nothing like this. It’s funny seeing how insanely dirty the Kim player is. Check out that nasty crossup at 1:11! I can’t even begin to guess which way you’re supposed to block that. And what about that whole sequence starting from 1:58? Literally every time he knocks you down, you’re guessing for your life. They just don’t make games this grimy anymore.
game: The King of Fighters ’94 (Arcade)
venue: Tournament at AmStep Arcade

777 is a Kim god and one of my favorite players to watch. He uses Kim so well in every KOF game, it’s a wonder why he has to pick two other guys: Kim very nearly does all the work for him every time! Soh85 on Youtube is a big fan of 777; if you’re interested in his play you should check it out.
