I hadn't entered in this game for a while now but replaying it, I find myself returning to mess around with the KOF characters. I wish they had done a third KOF collab with... I dunno, Kula and Leona?
My favorite outfits are Athena and Iori's ones. They are just fitting IMO
That one Looney Tunes X KoF art seen in some buses on latin america
At this point I'm sure I have talk about how much I really didn't like the Samurai Team ending in KOF XV. So I don't see the need to make another rant, just for the fact that is awful they brought a villain from another franchise back only to waste her in a very unfunny ending that not only ruins Mizuki but also Nakoruru IMO
But even with that, the ending doesn't make any sense if you know a bit of the Samsho lore in first place
-Why Mizuki appears looking like a human? When canonically Nakoruru separates her from her hostess Bizuki at the end of Samsho 2.
If anything, the one in the ending should had been just a skeleton of black hair as that is Mizuki's real demon form, sure you could theorize being inside Verse made her look as a normal human but the fact they don't even explain that and make it super vague is bad when even a simply line of text stating that would had fix it
-Nakoruru acts very out of character here, in game she is constantly remarking her duty as a priestess from nature, even judging people like the Hakkesshu. Only for her to go shopping with the demon who technically is the reason she had to sacrifice herself at the end of Samsho 2 to stop the destruction of earth?
Canonically, the destruction Mizuki starts in her quest to bring her master in Samsho 2 ends up affecting Nakoruru's village too, to the point alot of people of her village die, is literally part of the reason she embarks on the quest to stop her in first place. Yet she is here in the modern era going shopping with her... Why?
-With how vague the ending itself is, what says Mizuki didn't took the body of someone else before Nakoruru and co went to fight her? Assuming isn't Verse's magic. In that case, that makes Nakoruru look worse, as she is letting Mizuki run free while this one is possessing the body of an innocent person
I really wish SNK had made her a boss in the boss challenge mode alongside a season 3. Mizuki is a villain that should be in the same caliber as Rugal and Goenitz, the one time they bring her back into spotlight only to waste her in such a way.
