A tribute to gamings most beautifully animated pants - Kim Kaphwan of King of Fighters

I thought I was the only person who ever noticed or cared about Kim's pants, and then I came across this video. SNK were the undisputed masters of sprite animation, and it put a small but painful paper-cut to the index finger of my soul when turned to polygons in KoF XIV.

What do you guys think? Did anyone else ever notice graceful ebb and flow of Kim's pants, or were you too distracted by Mai to care?

Also, do you like the modern polygonal SNK art direction, or do you also miss their unmatched pre-King of Fighters XIV sprite-work?

Kim was one of my main 3 in KoF 13. Haven't seen or tried him in KoF 14 as I don't own a PS4 :(

Of course, lets not forget his son, Kim Jae Hoon from Mark of the Wolves, and his equally glorious pants animations:
