Masami Oobari doesn't waste a frame. Every movement carries weight, every strike lands with the kind of impact that makes you rewind it three times because your eyes couldn't track it the first pass. This is what happens when you give a master animator a fighting game IP and let him do exactly what he does best: turn combat into pure visual language.

Masami Oobari, a widely known animator, directs this one-episode animated short made to promote the fighting game The King of Fighters XV. He brings his own distinctive style to the project. The piece shows characters from the KOF XV roster fighting, which makes it a short action showcase for fans of the game and its cast.
