Maybe that's why Kyo is on every KoF insert front picture from 94 to 99.
SVC's greatest failure is how depressing it is

It was a nice attempt to update their product. It failed.
Bad company decisions don't legitimize their marketing direction just because a company made them.
Also, Terry and Mai are making all the company guest appearances. Terry is set to be Street Fighter 6's first mainline series guest character.
Not Kyo.
Terry.
Even though SNK tried to bury the Lone Wolf and make him a second tier character, you can't keep a legend down.
So SNK failed. Par for the course with that company which we all love so much for some reason.

Of course the original SNK can handle that, but what was left in SNKP needed some help.

I was talking about preferences of many Japanese companies to feature Japanese characters in favour of Western-style ones based on national pride and assumed that they had a thing going with Kyo in KoF in that regard. I was not referring to the question which chara is better/more loved, that would be Terry without a doubt.

Except that bigger Japanese companies DON'T have Japanese characters as their mascots and they do just fine.
So at least we can agree that SNK was stupid to try and replace Terry. at least he's back where he belongs now.

Pretty sure that's K' on the cover of KOF 99.

Yeah, true, make that 94 to 98 then.

But part of K' DNA is from Kyo so in a roundabout stretching it way...

I thought K' was a clone of Kyo, so close enough. Then he became his own thing somehow... If I were Kyo, I'd sue. The KOF storyline is batshit.
If I ever have to make videos on these games I don't know how I'm going to deal with all the weird comments from you KOF goobs about the different artists and obscure storylines. No one told me back in the day you have to finish the games with the pre-defind teams! It's not obvious. The character selects don't say anything, and 'team edit' is always on.

Or, perhaps, you can accept that most people don't care for the game and ignore threads in which you have nothing productive to add beyond being a whiny bitch.

... Is that a roundabout way of saying AOF3 sucks?

Based on Wyler alone, it sucked.
The bright spots that AOF3 had going for it was the best animation of any Neo game, art direction, music, and the fact that Robert beat Ryo canonically.
The gameplay was wonky, the new characters and their special moves were trash and unspectacular (seriously, the best one was a spinoff from AOF1's most basic character), and it has the undisputed lamest final boss in fighting game history.
As for SVC, I'll give the game a ton of props for giving Dimitri a S-tier appearance. His new spritework in this title is amazing; reminds me of Neo-Dio's badass new look in NGBC. Everything else was mediocre to bad. One thing I haven't heard mentioned is the sound effects. The hits sounded so flat and had no oomph. Hell, I still think the very first SFII titles had the best sound effects in a fighting game. Landing a heavy punch is still damn satisfying to hear.

Give me all the koalas, I thought AOF3 was pretty good and I still keep a cart of it.

Not even. It’s one of my favorite video games, Neo or otherwise.
The haters have skill issue.

I'll vouch for AoF 3's production values. It has everything going for it except the cast outside of Robert, Ryo and Kasumi. No playable Yuri is lame, too. And bringing in Eiji, somehow, would have been a lot better over Jin Fu-Ha. And I feel conceptually, Karman Cole is a good character relative to the AoF universe. Roddy, Lenny, Wang and SInclair are all mid and Wyler is hysterically silly.
The game holds true to the series' formula of pattern based fighting so it's more an issue where the gameplay just feels very dated by SNK standards by that point. But I still have my cart. All three AoF games, in fact. I'm glad I have them.
I like that Robert and Ryo are presented as fighters of equal skill in this game as well.
And that OST is chef's kiss. Fatal Fury 3 will always be my favorite SNK soundtrack but AoF 3 is top 10 in my book.

This is exactly how I feel about that game.
