Kind of amazing that the KOF videos are still there and work.

Yeah, I love that. I figure this is because a site like that one is "a bunch of files in a folder on a server somewhere, including the videos," whereas nowadays the videos would be on a separate CDN or media host, which is why those tend to break separately.
