>go bankrupt twice thanks to poor business decisions >get bought up by the Chinese and actually start getting into decent shape again>get bought out by the Saudis>immediately get run into the ground againSpare a thought for the SNK fans out there
>>731031392This might be the pettiest reason I ever lost interest in a game and Garou is one of my favorite fightan. Like other games have had dumb guests but this just killed all my hype
>getting bought out is a good thing!
>>731031649>Ronaldo gets shoehorned into vidya>Vidya turns to shitMessi would NEVER do this
>>731031392Well hindisght is a bitch.They should have doubled down on 2D sprites from kof13. . . they said it was too expensive but the transition to 3D for their fighters didn't work out.They couldn't compete with expectations and those were set with SF6 ginormous budget that they couldn't hope to match. So the 3D fighters feel like a mid-budget PS4 game. All the 2D sprite soul didn't transfer and all people saw was mid-rate janky looking thing graphics.That Preecha character (a male name in Thailand btw), is kinda sus trans-coded. Adding Ronaldo and making him look (extra) gay like that too.
Why are I meant to hate the Playmore era again?
>>731031392I've hit a point where COTW's current clusterfuck makes me not want Yamazaki and Chonrei there anymore
>>731031392>start getting into decent shape againThat's not what you guys were saying at the time
>>731031392Why do you even care? Is it because no matter what they do, the Saudis are their lifeline? Sucks to be you.
>>731032175
I fucking hate japan and the japanese people, they are fucking ugly.
>>731032034I hate how KOF13 looks, everyone is either jacked or a skeleton, no inbetween, the sprites for Joe and Terry look like they come from different games. The backgrounds look nice if you ignore the hordes of creepy-looking obese people SNK sticks everywhere in most of the stages for some reason.At the very least it was a distinct aesthetic unique to SNK I guess. If they're gonna go 3D going heavy on the cel shaded stylisation like they did with SamSho and CotW is probably the right direction for them to go as it hides a lot of the flaws.
>>731031392They should just stick to KOF, the odd Samurai Shodown game here and there since the last one was actually moderately popular for a bit, and bring Metal Slug back. They don't need to try having multiple fighting game franchises (Art of Fighting is happening after City of the Wolves) when their games can barely hold an audience as it is. My understanding is that Saudis just chuck money at devs and let them do whatever for the most part, the Ronaldo thing was retarded but SNK has a history of being retarded all on their own, they've gone bankrupt multiple times before because they're just inept clearly.
>>731031649Yeah, you're a pussy. And you're lying about being a Garou fan.
>>731032631I'm happy they are doing whatever they want because you're a fucking retard. I bet you haven't even played a KOF game.
>>731031392>finally new Fatal Fury>FUCKING finally new Art of Fighting>Metal Slug Tactics>at the expense of some weird shit in their gamesO woe is me?
>>731033090>FUCKING finally new Art of Fightingnobody thinks this
>>731032034should've went with gg engine...
>>731033262Except me. Art of Fighting is one of my favorite (single player) fighting games. Have beaten it like 100 times. Pretty cool against a human opponent as well; great music. The first one is cool as well, although really dated and janky.
>>731032762They've always done whatever they want, I bet you haven't even played an SNK game. They keep dying and folks get mad when they keep making shit that only they want to play and go bankrupt as a result, it's either they keep doing that and die or they change shit, one or the other retard
>>731031392>This will sell our game
>>731031392>doing it's best ever under saudis>turbo tards seethe because Ronaldo is in their fighting gameI'm sure you'd have loved to play metal slug mobile trashcent for 20 years being a paypig or kof13 for the rest of eternity
Can't believe they killed Samurai Shodown with that stupid EGS deal, on top of cutting single player content.FINALLY made some good moves by having crossplay with KOFXV, but barely put the game on sales.Then try to memory hole both samsho & kof with a utter slop no one wants
>>731033090what would be the point in a new AoF game when this one is mostly a Mark of the Wolves sequel, with some Fatal Fury stuff and even some Art of Fighting stuff?I mean we already have Mr. Big and gonna get Mr. Karateits pretty clear they're gonna go light on characters who can't be taken from KoFXV's assets.So I could see them put in Yuri, and King just off that alone for season 3Barely half the roster is entirely new assets If they somehow justify putting in a character like Eiji, I'd want to see Franco and Bob in first. Some actual OG Fatal Fury characters
>>731034561The new AoF isn't a fighting game.
>>731034561Because it's a different game with different system/mechanics and largely different cast. There was even rumours going on that it wouldn't be a fighting game. I hate this new development culture of just endless adding shit to one game. Fucking lame and gay.
>>731031392The only way for them to survive is to drop fighting games. Or at the very least start making other genres of game based on their ip. Fighting games are not beginner friendly and this reduces sales. They also have really shitty mechanics like grabs that are very difficult to counter and can be spammed. You can also stunlock people into really long combos which filters new players. Beginner unfriendly gameplay will mean lower sales.
>>731033434gg engine? You mean Guilty Gear's UE engine?
>have saudi money>yeah let's make an AI slop trailer for the second season of fatal fury
>>731033090>finallyNobody has ever given a shit about Fatal Fury or Art of Fighting. Wasting time on two decade old IPs that were never popular, SNK is ran by retards
>>731035268Based retards. Fuck putting all your eggs in the KoF basket and releasing a new entry every eight years or so.
>>731035058>They also have really shitty mechanics like grabs that are very difficult to counter and can be spammed.just jump lol
>>731032034>arcsys has told everyone how they made their 3d games look 2d cheaply>nobody has ever try it until riot leaving us with dozens of ugly 3d fighting games Some dudes really let people take eggs from their golden goose and retards keep refusing them
>>731035475I don't think that would work in every game
>Characters that will never appear in COTW or a KOF
>>731031392>go bankrupt twice thanks to poor business decisionsContrary to popular belief, they only went bankrupt once.
>>731035648You would be wrong then.
>>731035861Even if im wrong, I've never seen this stated in any gameAlso I doubt that the window of time you have to jump away is better than the regular counter. It's simply a bad mechanic that can be spammed. I have won many matches against players way better than me by just spamming grabs.
>>731035385The only retard here is SNK. Imagine thinking anyone gave a shit about Fatal Fury, after you transplanted all the semi-decent characters to KoF. Should've made something new instead of relying on nostalgia to grab people's interest.
>>731036159Yeah, that's what I meant. I'm glad that SNK is filled with retards who are targetting me, and me alone, with their current and future releases.
>>731036159>Imagine thinking anyone gave a shit about Fatal Fury, after you transplanted all the semi-decent characters to KoF. Should've made something new instead of relying on nostalgia to grab people's interest.Specifically they really bought into the gaslighting that people actually care about the majority of the Garou roster rather than the very small few exceptions
>>731033434They need their games to not look like cheap ugly slop. This is probably the most important think they could improve.
>>731035975Jumps beating grabs is something you learn by playing. Not everything has to be stated explicitly in game. Also, if you beat someone just by throwing them then they weren't better than you.There are plenty of reasons to hate fighting games but throws aren't one of them.
>>731036159>The only retard here is SNK. Imagine thinking anyone gave a shit about Fatal Fury, after you transplanted all the semi-decent characters to KoF. Should've made something new instead of relying on nostalgia to grab people's interest.they kinda didn'tthey used the name sure, and for a lot of people who read about Fatal Fury on wikipedia scrolling, seeing it "come back" is a cool idea for attentionThen most of the game's roster are either characters who are already in KoF and can be reused, or crossover charactersI'm guessing them deciding to use mostly Garou characters is because most of those characters are already from KoF, or have assets like animations that can be taken from their KoF counter parts like the Kims and their dad. Thats just a theory thoughEither way, we're not gonna see Bob, Franco, Hon-Fu or Sokaku, etc... No one actually cares about those characters. The newest character in season 2 is Krauser who being a boss character who was in KoF 98 UM gives him more attention Season 3 will likely be1 crossoverRyuji YamazakiKing or YuriTung Fu Rue who was in KoF XIVPossibly Raiden who already has a 3d modeland maybe either Grant or Freeman as the 1 totally new asset who's not a crossover
>>731037248They were better than me because they always won when I didn't exploit throws. Throws are a shitty mechanic.
>>731032034>they said it was too expensiveBecause it was. All the characters had to have gimped movesets because of the HD sprites.
>>731032365>I hate how KOF13 looks, everyone is either jacked or a skeleton, no inbetween, the sprites for Joe and Terry look like they come from different games.true, this is an artstyle issue though.I hate how moe Yuri looks. Fridge-shape steroid users Clark and Ralph etc.
>>731031392Idk but hope they make a sequel to this
>>731031392Saudi money is a deal with the devil every single time.
Will the Saudis sell them?
Reminder that when they sold all their pachislot crap they accidentally sold the characters made for those things as well
>>731035385>Fuck putting all your eggs in the KoF basketthat's their problem with lack of good resource management and being unable to work on more than one game at a timeand it's only fighting games that they ever makehave you seen any other big projects by them in a different genre? nope
>>731039461This game was dogshit though.Even the coomerbait aspect was weak.
>>731036423>who are targetting me, and me aloneoh, it works on you are machine, you're saying
>>731040670be careful, the snk fanbase has been invaded by dei people who hate coomers, they will validate its lack of coomerbait with praise for being not overly sexualized
>>731034269dont forget KOFXV also had a really messed up online netcode for months after release and only got fixed when the game had like 1 year left in the gas tank.
Looking forward to fighting the soccer player and dj with Geese soon.
>>731040584Damn. Muimui and Love Heart were actually fun in XIV.
The people who are giving opinions on the future of SNK are people who can't handle basic throws
the people who are ignoring snk's existence are normal people who don't even know what an snk is
>>731040584>>731041064Oof so that's why they suddenly dissapeared. Both are actual literal who desu.
I don't even know why people want a Metal Slug game.I bet 99% of the people talking in this thread have never to even try to 1cc any metal slug game
