KOF 97 Arcade Run - Kensou 1/3

97 Here, opening info was already given in the last playthrough, yadda yadda. But I might have forgotten to mention that this was the first KOF to feature the option to use either normal or EX Kyo (95 Version, select by holding start). However this was only in 97 and 98. In 99 that option was replaced with the option to select one of the two Kyo clones, and completely removed in 2000.

This is where Kensou began to really bloom. This is when he got his Senki Hakkei (QCFx2 A/C Close) and his DP A/C unblockable punch combo (Albeit it's not nearly as useful as it is in 98). And once again his sprites got a facelift from 96, including the air CD he got and kept until XI. Something else I noticed about him, in 96 and 97 his HCF A (Ryuu Renga: Chiryuu) has a lot less recovery and is almost completely safe on block, he should have kept this recovery speed in 98 and above but what can you do.

Recording was fine, little lag, nothing major. Playing this really showed how out of practice I am. Before these playthroughs I hadn't touched KOF in a good
while, I think it shows here, at least to the people that have played me or watched me play on GGPO. Though I was never that great at 97, it's still not all that different from 98.

Alright, that's it for this part.
