>Sajam hates it>Aris hates it>90% of the FGC hates it because of Saudis, AI trailer, Ronaldo, etcetera>Max DOOD stopped shilling for SNK because of Ronaldo>Casuals don't care at all and thinks it looks like a PS3 game compared to all the other big-boy Fighting Games out>The few who do/did try it finds it very unintuitive, and not easy to get into like Street Fighter 6 and Strive>Almost no-one makes content on it except few very small channels, most sponsored by SNK>All engagement across all content-media is staggeringly low outside of the same few, loyal, aging SNK fans who will basically always consume SNK stuff>4 guest characters in the game, with another coming soon, and none of them has contributed to the game's growth at all(maybe Kenshiro will interest a few).Realistically, how does SNK come back from City of The Wolves? Their reputation is in shambles which is devastating for a company that's already very niche, people actively hate on them now due to the Saudi stuff as mentioned before, majority of normalfags see them as a severely low-budget Capcom little-brother company, and much more. What could they possible do now to succeed after they've received such a major setback?
The anti-CotW sentiment seems almost pushed as an agenda here.If you really hated something then you'd let it wither way into obscurity and let its lack of popularity and discussion speak for itself.
Make KoF 16, promote Kyo and Iori as the main characters, cease the Terry wank it's been 7 years since he was added to Smash no one cares anymore
>>738291348Everyone you mentioned is happy to receive awards for shilling Saudi product. Their biggest problem was the marketing campaign being bad. It's worse than 2XKO and Metroid Prime 4.
>all of the capcom eceleb shills hate itno kidding
>>738291828>If you really hated something then you'd let it wither way into obscurity and let its lack of popularity and discussion speak for itself.Is this your first day on /v/? If people don't like something here they make it their entire personality and they spam it every single day, be it Concord or Marathon or a stereotype of a certain ethnic group. They run it into the ground and if you don't like it it's because you're a shill just mad that they're making fun of what must be your favorite game. Or you're the dev yourself.Enjoying things is for faggots.
>>738292627I didn't even buy CotW because none of the characters interest me. I play anime fighters but hardly anyone bothers to go after them THIS hard like fags here are doing.
>>738292627>Enjoying things is for faggots.Even ignoring things is for faggots at this point, you must know how terrible it is and how low the playercounts are and how much of a failure it is and how the devs are going to be laid off any day now and beheaded in front of the saudi royal palace for their failures
>>738291348>AI trailerI feel like if this was true I would have heard about it already
Why should I give a shit what people think? The game's fun to play and its a real fighting game.
>>738292794Also, on top of that, why would I give a shit what people think about how it looks? Granblue Rising is clearly the most beautiful game ever made in the genre and it can't get the SF6 numbers. People are idiots.
>>738292787You haven't heard about it 'cause it's so obvious there was nothing to discusshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqe1RBmJ9S8
>>738291348Fatal Fury already didn't have much pull even compared to other SNK fighting game series. Prince Salman apparently decided the best way to pull in a bigger audience for a FF game is with Salvatore Ganacci. Now even the people who wanted a new Fatal Fury game think twice about getting a game that's blatantly a Saudi investment scam.
>ArisCan't wait for the day this pedo gets exposed just like Lacari.
>>738291348>90% of the FGC hates it because of Saudis, AI trailer, RonaldoNo one gives a shit about any of that. The game is dead because roster/character designs are dog shit and the game looks extremely mediocre.
>western fgc>liking any snk gameall of them get washed by the mexican unc on his break plus the saudi bullshit is no longer a legitimate argument because you saw how most of the fgc didn't say shit about the same dude buying more shares of capcom a few months ago
>>738292827>Transblue>Good looking Lmao
>>738291348Just make another Samsho or Kof and DON'T fuck it up the releases like they did with the last ones. And no damn guests in the base roster. Like garou is a series that even most of the snk fans that like them for kof don't give a shit about or don't remember so this was quite literally the worst option. Also none of that retarded marketing they tried with cotw. Just make the game look pleasant to the eyes and people will talk well about it and word of mouth will do the rest like it did with strive.
>>738292905Yet sf6 has the most playercount?
>>738292827No thanks, I would rather play Nick slime SF6.
>>738292827Literally every 3d game arcsys has made including tokon looks better than granblue.
>>738292965Samsho RPG is next after AoF4
>>738292965it doesn't matter what they make it will just be the same shit fags saying the games look cool but refuse to play it for a billion reasons fgctubers dont bother with snk games because it's negative money for them and they can just use the popular opinion on the games to justify never touching them
>>738291348For me they just needed to release Mai's original costume. If they can't even do that then they can go fuck themselves
>>738291348They completely ruined my favorite fighting game characterFuck, not a single female character's face survived this game
>>738291348>sajamThe chipotle shill? That chipotle crap is what sunk him anyways. Moreover, the only reason people gave a shit about him is because Steve and him were the new Gootecks and Mike Ross. That's about it really, he's just whiter Gootecks with liberal friendly views. >ArisAris is barely fgc related at this point. He plays more poe than he does fighting games. And he hates most things, while replaying RE1 for the millionth time. And he's very clearly burned the fuck out on streaming, but keeps doing it for the money>saudi bitchingSaudis and other oil baronies kept tekken 7 alive after the covid snafu, where 80% of the fgc turned into raging libtards. They're all preformative whores, MBS would wave enough money, and they'd be doing minstrel shows on it. All these influencers would be doing tricks, if the money was there.
>>738293323Thankfully, Sajam is moving to Deadlock and MBS is buying Capcom.
>>738293012>>738292926>>738292980Ah its one of these threads. Have fun being retarded, I guess. Also wrong.
>>738291348why did they go for 3d? their 2d games looked amazing
>>738293642Time? They had to do rotoscoping on finished 3D animations.
>>738293167Anon if you make the game look good enough ANYONE will play it dumbass. That's how strive got as popular as it did.>inb4 what about granblueGranblue both doesn't look like strive and is genuinely the most boring shit of the last decade for 99% of people. Casual or not.
>>738293320Look how big they are.
>>738292974Brand name, much, much, much more popular legacy and CaC for casuals.
>>738293753strive got as popular as it did because the game got dumbed down for drooling retards you have people begging others to play xrd all the time and only the people heavy in to guilty gear were the ones playing
>>738293642KOF12 cost so much to make they couldn't have many characters in it, and it sucked to play so even those willing to give it a chance were disappointed. 14 sure doesn't look great, but it has a shitload of characters and making an actual game instead of pachinko shit was impressive for them.
>>738291348it's funny how much renaldo and literal who DJ killed this game before it ever had a chance and adding all the classic bosses plus kenshiro still isn't enough to get people even talking about it. do you guys think this was a one off or did the saudis pay enough that they will let them influence the next roster as well?
>>738293851It got popular because of both it's looks and it being simpler but primarily because of it's looks being nice which was what all people would talk about before and after it released.
>>738292845Oh wow that's brazen
>>738292586Aris shits on SF6 nonstop.
>BELIEVE ALL FUCKING WOMEN!I somehow doubt Ronaldo has to rape women.
>>738293992Who cares? They're buying Capcom and Nintendo.
>>738291348>Realistically, how does SNK come back from City of The Wolves?By releasing KOF XVI or whatever is next without IRL guest characters. Literally all momentum behind COTW died instantly when Ronaldo was announced, it could have been a moderate success but SNK bungled it.
Maybe some filters that make it look like something indie and edgy.
>Saw DJ Who and Ronaldo and knew I wouldn't be buying this game>Shills seethe and claim I am a Capkek and wouldn't have bought it anywaysI feel vindicated see this garbage flop.
>>738293320This. How did the current Preecha win over any of these?
>>738293992i dont think it would've been different even if they weren't added everyone hypes up snk games then the only people playing are the people who actually play them while everyone hovers around them making some excuse whenever people ask why people dont touch them
I'd buy it if they had the balls to add Panni from the movie.
>>738294154>top 3 and bottom rightOh wow snk might actually be retarded. Could've had a newbie magnet on the level of Giovanna and they just airballed.
no xiangfei no buy-ei
they've come a long way since kof xiv graphics wise. sadly kof xiv is their modern peak design wise. because the saudis seem to not care about the scale of their flops, I guess snk will just make games forever. to be fair, they seem to have a good churn rate
>>738294380>mighThey revived a two decade dormant franchise that had all of it's liked characters moved onto KoF. They are verifiably retarded.
>>738294154They were getting dangerously close to Viper's design here.
>>738291348Saudis even revive Mega 64 with a lot of $$$$$ to promove this game.But the game is good though.
>>738291348japan likes it just fine
>>738291828>agendanot necessarily, this board is filled with autists and spiteful individuals, mix the two things together and you end up with users with obsessive thoughts about games they dislike
>>738291348Saudi investment is a kiss of death
>>738294949The next season is for Freeman, Duck King, Rick Strowd, Kasumi and Jin Kazama.Yeah, i think Freeman will be included instead of Alfred.
>>738295008Troons are the kiss of death
>>738295103freemans the only motw character left to add but he was put in prison in kevin's arcade ending so maybe they're just writing him off because he's a homo
>>738295123Guilty Gear has never been more alive though.
>>738291348Metal Slug is the only franchise left with a positive impression (despite the newer flops)
>>738295149Alive at what cost?
>>738295123They're literally the entire fighting game market anon. Times change. The corner arcade isn't coming back.
i want luong to milk my cock with her feet
>>738291348>MUH E-CELEBS!Shut the fuck up, faggot.
>>738295991RONALDO RAPED WOMEN!
>>738295202>A character only retarded faggot secondaries gave a shit about gets some of said same faggot secondaries but new and I get to make fun of both kinds for caring about a character this lame or finding "inspiration" from it>I almost never have to see this board pretend to like GG or give it's retarded opinions on it ever again>the characters arcsys actually gives a shit about are all still straight, cool and cared about by people who actually play any of the gamesA very low one.
>>738294237>There's a shot in this movie where you can see Mai's pussy and asshole through her panties>Chun-Li has a nude shower scene in the SF2 animated movie>Anna Williams has a nude shower scene in the Tekken animated movieThey were really letting the animators for these movies do whatever the fuck they wanted back then, my God
>>738294154To this day I still am not sure if she's supposed to be a tranny or not. They should've just used literally any of these designs instead.
>>738291348QRD on the Saudi stuff?It has booba and butta and it doesn't seem pozzed
>>738291348>Realistically, how does SNK come back from City of The Wolves?Have Saudi oil money dry up enough to be sold.Sorry (not Sorry), that's just how it is.
>>738296079those secondary faggots are going to tournaments and are constantly making you look bad the strive community is almost as bad as smash now and thats a very fucking hard thing to achieve
>hit buttons>doesn't feel goodthat's why it a shit
more people probably view mai as a sf character now
>>738296810Expect it to get worse once Melee, Combo Devils and Rivals of Aether 2 die.
>>738296810The people going to tournaments are the trannies who don't play bridget and actually are playing the game so they by definition aren't secondaries the same way the trannies that actually go to rising, uni, Xrd and whatever other anime fighter tournaments aren't. Also I'm a fucking Tekkenfag who thought 90% of Tekken players are retarded since I started playing it over a decade ago I have not and never will care about some fucking "community" of a video game making me look bad the same I would not care about some schizo faggot or two on /v/ who like or hate the same things as I do potentially making me look bad.
>>738292965Mark of the Wolves was shilled as the best fighting game ever.
>>738293627t. weeaboo
how about they make a visually appealing game with characters people can care about instead of the bland ass characters they have and with fun gameplay rather than "it's sf6 but we say it's more solid than that"
>>738296656This is a sequel to a game from over 20 years ago. New "characters" include a soccer player on a Saudi owned team and a DJ nobody's ever heard of who plays shows in Saudi Arabia.
>yeah bro we definitely need those real life guestsOnly thing funnier is b jenet also being that low or even lower at points before this because they fucked up and she's not as pretty as she should be.
>>738298845B.Jenet is absolute sex in COTW. Drink bleach you fucking faggot.
>>738298931Her face is shit compared to the very concept art they 1st showed when they revealed her, her face is shit compared to any previous version of her 2d or 3d and her face is shit compared to any other girl in the game which is confusing considering the 2d in game art/the concept art for her looking so good and a genuine shame. Least the miniscule amount of porn for her makes sure to ignore the way she looks in cotw.
>>738298845>Ronaldo and Ganacci both almost dead lastGuess all those soccer fans didn't buy the game huh
>>738300331Shut the fuck up.
COTW lovers:>GO1>Fenritti>Xiaohai>ChrisG>Jwong>Viscant>Mike Ross>iDom>BrianF>Poongko>KindevuCOTW haters:>Random vappas that don't play anything and just post steam charts>Resetera>Bluesky>Sajam>Jappa vtuber simpsOkay, this isn't even a fair fight.COTW.WON.
>>738291348>>Sajam hates itI used to be completely indifferent about Sajam until he made that absolutely retarded video explaining why "slime rush is OK actually and neutral never existed"I know he's a shill but holy FUCK that was stupid.>>Aris hates itNo one sane cares what this fat faggot stoner says. About anything.
COTW feels like more of a 3S sequel than SF6 funny enough. It easily has the best gameplay of the new titles of the 2020's for fighting games. SF and Tekken went full into the shit heap of system mechanics overriding gameplay.However, it looks like shit. KOFXV looks way better, and so does even SamSho. It has a roster of mostly forgettable characters no one cares about. Both of those things go a long way. A lot of the characters are just straight up ugly to look at, like what is that Ken redesign?SNK just keeps fucking itself. SamSho launched with broken online and no crossplay into COVID so it never even got its chance. KOFXV also had broken online. COTW looks like shit and put in retard tier guest characters.
>>738303470Its absolutely a SF6 clone no matter how you try to spin it.it literally has the drive system, punish counter, universal armor slop, epic slowdowns and metered block button.Garou was the SF3 clone.
>>738303739It doesn't have the Drive system though. There is no universal dash in shit to cross the entire screen. REV is just your typical EX meter without all the extra shit appended to it.
>>738303862it absolutely has the drive system and not like your typical ex/super meter at all.its a full free bar you start the match with. it goes up with time and depletes on block or getting supered. its used for every metered system mechanic except for supers.when you run out of it you are locked out of various options and you get raped defensively and you have to survive for a certain amount of time until you get a full bar for free again.its the drive system strictly taken from SF6 and it would absolutely not be in the game if SF6 wasnt the way it is.
>>738303862not reallyit's not completely the drive system but the significant thing they have in common is you start with full access to it and only get punished if you overspend, unlike a normal bar that starts empty and just limits accessCotW does also have a few very obviously sf6 inspired mechanics, though like rev guard is more of a faultless defense than drive parry, rev blows are blockable and limited to SPG etc and it has a bunch of other mechanics like JD guard cancels and hops that make it play very differently. Really just not having drive rush is like 50% of it.
>>738291348>Realistically, how does SNK come back from City of The Wolves? infinite saudi money. it's the entire reason it exists in the first place.
>>738304119rev guard looks like they took a look at how the "parry" works in SF6 and decided to invert it because its stupid.many of the ideas are adapted but tuned differently and while I think its lame that they did that I also think they handled them better than capcom.
