Anyone who has clocked some hours swinging fists in The King of Fighters knows the fast-paced fighting this series provides comes accompanied with a killer soundtrack. And when a game has so many memorable songs, it’s only natural for fans to take the time to give some of the music their own twist–gvgkid is one such fan.

With King of Fighters XIV right around the corner, there’s no better way to breathe in that nostalgia than with a fresh remix of an old favorite. If you’re in the market for a version of Iori’s classic theme that dials the soul all the way up to 11, you’ll not want to miss this track.

Gvgkid’s channel contains some other fighting game theme remixes as well, so if you like what you hear be sure to check them out.

Revisiting his “Legacy” video series, this time Maximilian plays Super Gem Fighter Mini-Mix–better known as its other name: Pocket Fighter. This light-hearted, cartoony take on the Street Fighter and Darkstalker franchises includes a massive amount of Capcom fan service in its stage backgrounds and story sequences. Often even more prominent references appear in the “costume combos,” during which characters transform into a variety of things, particularly other characters from Capcom franchises–such as Chun-Li suddenly switching into Jill Valentine’s outfit to pop a few shots into her opponent.

Do note that the videos contain some NSFW language.

Super Gem Fighter Mini-Mix was originally released on CPS II arcade systems in 1997, later coming to home consoles on both the PlayStation 1 and 2. Here’s a promotional flyer highlighting this game’s “chibi” art style, first seen in the arcade puzzle game Puzzle Fighter II Turbo.
