ITT: Permanently forgotten SNK characters
Alert the saudis
>>725985190A new Art of Fighting is being developed, Lenny will be remembered by force since they need to fill the roster somehow.
>>725986564If she were in it, she wouldn't be a launch character. Don't ask why
>>725985190every one besides terry
>>725987123What are you on about? Samurai Shodown got resurrected a few years back and Cham Cham got brought over through its lifespan.Hell, there's a new SamSho game being developed right now.
>>725985190
>>725987331Font/proof?
>>725987353She makes a NPC story appearance in Haohmaru's ending in KoF XV.
>>725987586>NPCAnon, I want to main her once again...
>>725987526https://www.gematsu.com/2024/07/new-art-of-fighting-game-and-samurai-shodown-action-rpg-in-developmentSNK did a random tease of Mr. Karate's mask last month, so Art of Fignting might be officially announced soon, maybe during Mr. Big's release for City of the Wolves.
>>725987617She wasn't forgotten, that's the point.
This is what a federal agent who fights video game piracy looks like.
>>725987451Does SNK even own the EX characters? I ask because they had different developers and those characters never show up again, not in in small cameos, and SNK loves to shove tons of cameos in these games. So it's a bit weird.
>>725988049She's a good dancer.
>>725988049She's 200% sexy.
>>725987123>every one besides terryAnd Kyo, Benimaru, Andy, Joe, Ryo, Robert, Yuri, Leona, Ralf, Clark, Athena, Kensou, Mai, King, Kim, Blue Mary, Billy Kane, Iori, Geese, Rugal, K, Kula, Ash, Haohamaru, Nakoruru, and Genjuro
>>725987826You got a point, let me post another forgotten character
for SF it's maki as she basically stole Mai's costume so hard-locked out of representationEven if they change her costume people will whine they want her classic costume back and the cat will be out of the bag.
>>725989584CVS's "Mai with sneakers" look isn't really the original though. I don't think anyone would mind if she was given back the Final Fight 2 outfit with the shin guards and mesh top and bare back and whatnot.
>Being asked for since KOF 96I mean, at least Sokaku is kind of popular, this can easily be an AOF thread
>>725991012aof?
>>725987123Sad but true
>>725986564>since they need to fill the roster somehow.Did you not see how few characters were and are in CotW and Fatal Fury has more characters to draw from. Even with three years of DLC they're not really pulling from the pool of classic Fatal Fury characters.For the new AOF (if it gets made, seeing as CotW was such a bomb it got the CEO tossed and they've had a giant capital reduction) they'll just bring back the Kyokugens, King, Big, Lee, Geese, Eiji, Kasumi and Ryuhaku. Maybe add Jin Fuha because he's a meme. There will be a few new characters, they'll do something like add Jeff Bogard or Gang-Il or Saisyu into the roster and you'll get two Street Fighter characters (Ryu and Juri) as guest DLC.The only way Lenny or other AOF3 characters get in is due to the game seeing a revival in the competitive scene for whatever reason.
>>725989584>ITT SNK characters>HEY GUYS I KNOW THIS ISN'T AN SNK CHARACTER BUT I JUST GOTTA POST MY WAIFU ANYWAY
>>725987123And Mai
My brazilian waifu is technically an snk character
>>725996410Not really. Noise Factory was an SNK subsidiary but they didn't own any of the characters that Noise Factory made for RotD or Power Instinct.
>>725997162Actually, seeing as Noise Factory was ex-Atlus employees and Atlus still owns Power Instinct, I am going to give a retard take for people to pass around online and say that Naoto from Persona 4 was inspired by Hikaru from Matrimelee. Can't prove that isn't the case. :)
>>725996081Even Capcom didn't forgot her
>>725997250that's actually Ralf
>>725997323Xiangfei, my beloved... How in the flying fuck is she not getting into CotW even as DLC? We know the next two years and IIRC she's not in the datamined leak.
>>725992661Art of fighting, besides the Sakazaki's only king became a base character in kof, Kasumi shows up every now and then and Todoh is just a meme by now.Lee Pai Long is the only character that went outside the AOF series in battle coliseum.fuck, I almost forgot about Eiji, does anyone care about Eiji?
>>725997304I've never seen that creature before.
>>725985190Isn't she part of the "real" AoF timeline of the late 70s?
>>725985190My dad probably knows her entire meta or something.
>>725997162Yeah some random company owns the characters now it's kind of a weird case. I said technically just cause it was co-developed by, like you said, an SNK subsidiary and co-developed by a second SNK branch and published by Playmore(which was what SNK was during their bankruptcy) for SNK hardware(the Neo Geo). The fact that she's technically also not an SNK character is baffling when you consider all of that.
>>725987751i think they're just putting ryo and robert in cotw
>>725988049man i want them to port this to steam i played the fuck out of this on the 360
>>726002192Ryo(probably as Mr Karate II) yes, Robert is unlikely but possible
>>726002251I thought it already was but turns out nope
>>726002271the trailer had a tiger and a dragon in it which usually signifies both ryo and robert>>726002349people have been asking for them to port kof 11 and ngbc to anything,i dont know if it has something to do with the atomiswave platform or not though
>>726002526I only say unlikely because Ryo was leaked but Robert wasn't included, and CotW wasn't successful enough for them to keep adding more characters. Then again there's still like 3 spots that didn't have names so maybe
>>726002080There always seems to be a lot of weird shit and heresy on who owns what with SNK's characters and who they can and can't use. There was the whole K9999 shit where everyone said they couldn't use him, then Krohnen came and SNK was like "actually we rused you and that was all part of our keikaku to make him mysterious" (obvious bullshit, they just hated him until someone came up with a redesign/concept refresh they liked). They tried to claim Eolith owned the 2001 charactes which is why they aren't used (more likely answer was that period being a giant low point and May Lee doesn't have the coom audience like Angel does). There's the whole shit about how they sold the pachislot characters to a company but said company no longer exists, they still put out artbooks using the characters and Heroines came out after they supposedly sold the characters. I've seen people claim they don't own the EX characters even though they created them because Marvelous published the EX games. I highly doubt that but who even knows? People like to speak authoritatively about this kind of shit but nine times out of ten they're puling shit out of their ass or wildly misinterpreting statements.
>>726002997devs said we were going to get at least 3 seasons worth of content i feel like if they weren't going to support it anymore then they wouldn't even bother doing the swc again and upping the prize pool more for next year
>>726003105I meant with the 3 seasons, the other two seasons leaked. Don't think there's gonna be anything beyond that
>>726003086i thought love heart wasn't sold off until after heroines came out?>>726003203i honestly dont pay much attention to fighting game leaks but i dont know how much devs usually plan ahead for this kind of stuff i would assume most have a base amount they plan on doing then the rest is made on a case by case basis
>>725998653I like Eiji. Also kinda cool that Last Blade is apart of the FF Timeline
>>726003338They said, before release, they wanted to put *most* Fatal Fury characters in the game, and that if the game was successful they'd add another character every two months or so. If you hear them talk they seem to really love Fatal Fury, sucks that the launch killed the game."We already have a season 2 and season 3 planned and we're planning to continuously add characters. There are lots of popular characters in the Fatal Fury series and we're looking to add most of them, so we're working on that lineup and their development at the moment" - SNK producer Yasuyuki Oda
>>725996081Wouldn't her coming back.
>>726003839*mind her
>>726003667>sucks that the launch killed the gameThey only have themselves to blame for how the game turned out. The lousy marketing is part of it and despite what they claim it's obvious the Saudis forced Ronaldo and Salvatore on them. But the Saudis aren't the reason the game looks 10 years old, has an ugly art style, is a complete visual mess with clutter and meters all over the place, has an absymal roster, awful balance that they refuse to fix, or plays like a mix of all the worst traits of modern fighting game design and not like an actual Fatal Fury game.
>>725985190Who knows about Top Hunter?
>>725997304GBA port of KoF 2000? Didn't even know that was a thing.
>>726005723Yeah, 2 GBA games. The KOF EX Series.
>>725985190Moe Habana and Momoko should come back.
>>726003998that game is sick as fuck
>>725989004Maximum Impact characters have potential, for me its Nagase.
>>725988121pretty sure they do after they brought k9999 back
He's actually a very fun shoto variant, silliness of his inclusion/design aside. VI-Andrew and I-Seiger are my mains in SamSho VI.
