>>750101760Everything about it feels like a game that truly has no intended target audience, leaving it a completely unfocused mess
>>750101760It's actually a fun game, but the FGC has completely rejected it to grandstand against Saudi Arabia. Rings pretty hollow considering how many of them gargled Chinese cock for a year promoting 2XKO until the money ran dry.I wish they'd ease up on the guest characters and let the roster stand up on its own merits, though. Ken, Chun-Li, and even Kenshiro were good picks, but the rest of them are just space fillers. I'd rather they do more clever reinventions of SNK characters, like how Robert Garcia is the new Mr. Karate. He's the coolest character in the game.
>>750101760NO STREET FIGHTER NO BUYGET FUCKED SNKTROON
I refused to buy it on 80% or something discount because of Penaldo and Gnocci Don't care if they're rapists or something, I just think they're lame and they ruined this game roster for years to come
>>750102552Capcom has had actual transsexuals promote SF6 though
>>750101760>How did SNK manage to make one of the most unappealing Fighting Games of all time?Bad graphics. That shit's normie repellent
>>750101760Tokon and Trannytar will soon have less players
>>750102472>FGC has completely rejected it to grandstand against Saudi Arabiai can't wait to see everyone never bring up blood money again the second cvs3 gets announced
>>750103342Who caresSf6 has more playercount
>>750103446Then why kof xiii flopped?
>>750103645Well yeah and that would be because CVS3 would be made by Capcom, who are 10000x better the developer SNK is. You can just see that by comparing SF6 to COTW. SF6 released as a modern game. Fully feature-complete in practically every facet. SNK released COTW as a borderline modern Neo-Geo game. The worst Quality of Life known to man, with less features than Fighting Games a generation ago. You'd think the game actually released in 2010 or something with how barebones and backwards the design/software was. We don't have to get into things like how the game looks visually, because that's already apparent with everything SNK in modern day.
>>750104081so you would agree all of this crying over saudi's is just performative bullshit (lets not even get into the fact that he's pulling in a lot of money from capcom alone this year from all their games released including sf6)
CvS3 hypotheticals are purely performative, nobody actually cares about SNK characters besides coombait
Snk made 0 good game
>>750101760I actually like this game but it's been unplayable since season 3 started because of constant microstutters.
>>750104275>nobody actually cares about SNK characters besides coombaitIt's even worse when Mai is being labeled and remembered more as a Capcom character and a SF6 character. Crazy.
>>750101760My problem is that all 3D SNK games are so fucking ugly. They for real need better artists. Their 2D sprites were gorgeous but their 3D? It's like these people are still stuck with PS2 era tech. Despite using UE4-5 their games look so outdated and ugly.
>>750103446probably more than that considering tokon isn't doing well and has the marvel license,i think normies just dont like fighting games in general outside of the widely popular ones like sf,mortal kombat and smash
>>750104275CvS3 would be awesome if it actually pulls from the entirety of both catalogs rather than being Street Fighter vs. King of Fighters with just a few token characters from other games.As much of a disaster as it is, SVC Chaos at least had some very interesting picks like Mars People and the first appearance of Zero in a fighting game.
>>750104385The only reason terry hasn't met the same fate is because of the stupid R U OKAY reddit memes and smash, otherwise it's dangerously closeSNK characters have a certain charm but a very specific charm, which does not appeal to westerners besides the obvious latin america audience. Somehow guy in jacket with flames isn't appealing anymore
the real answer is simple: this game is piss ugly compared to T8 and SF6. That's it. Even Mai looks vastly better in SF6. That's why even me, a lifelong fightan fag, doesnt want to buy it for $15.
I still have no idea who those two blonde anime guest characters are
Besides what people have mentioned already, I would like to point out that chaining ex moves one after another and maybe a super at the end is a very boring combo system and makes every character feel samey.
>>750104884Terry is a character that's both cool and silly, so I don't mind him having a bunch of memes.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWFY_mO2fNY
>>750103907You ask this every thread. Normies do not care about 2D. They want photo-realistic 3D graphics. The sad truth is that Debra Wilson's face could sell more copies in a week than SNK could in a year.
>>750104578Tokon looks like a 360 game. It's ugly
>>750101760Like many have mentioned, the game just looks freaking bad, zero artistic value whatsoever, it literally looks like an early PS3 game remastered for modern hardware.I'm in fear for Art of Fighting 4, I just hope to God they don't ruin that one.I kinda wonder if SNK has ever looked at a game like Ori made it in that kind of art style, I mean the Ori games are the best looking 2D games to date imo, it's like why not?Silly to think that KoF13 is their best looking game to date, that shit came out 2010.>>750102265>Everything about it feels like a game that truly has no intended target audience, leaving it a completely unfocused messCould have not said it better myself, the biggest deal breaker for me was when they included that Soccer dude only because some Saudi oil rich fuck wanted his favorite sports guy in the game.It's just not a good fit.
im convinced threads about this game only ever get made when someone needs to take their anger for another fighting game out on something else or when someone wants to talk about this game but they're so fucked in the head that they can only make something about it when it's overly negative
>>750104527They should go back to 2d3d only works for doa, VF and tekken like games
>>750105993I don't get how we have gotten past so many stigmas but "sprites = bad and cheap" is still hereI couldn't convince a coworker that sprites actually take longer and more money to animate, where 3D is only long in the beginning. He essentially thinks sprites are some NES boomer shit (which is funny since he's in his 30s like me)Even if spritework cost the same as 3D, companies would still use 3D because normies genuinely think 2D looks cheap
>>750101760The unappealing artstyle, the ai usage and very questionable guest fighter choices like a dj or a football player most likely.
I will bomb snk HQ if next metal slug going to be in 3d
>>750107538It's /v/ in general, they rather complain about something over making threads about something they loveImagine if /a/ lost 90% of its threads because they rather cry about one piece or Naruto
>>750101760>some saudi prince gets to have his pet game made even if no one plays itKinda jelly ngl
>>750108219google says less than a million
>>750108034Still more successful than DOANot even hardcore gooners play doa lmao
>>750108280They keep trying to take the goonery out of DOA to try and make it palatable to the Esports crowd, and sales tank every time.
>>750108402goonery in doa should've never went above what was in doa 4
>>750101760It’s a game that genuinely nobody asked for and it shows
I like watching the tournaments desu. Game looks fast and relatively grounded. Supers arent super strong like in SF6 but regular combos get juggly. It's fast and people make big reads and plays
>>750108985I was genuinely excited to get it when it was first announced, but my primary motivation was to finally be able to play as Terry again without having to lump him in with two other dudes in KOF.Then Terry was added to SF6 over a year before the game even came out, and I was satisfied in that regard. Hell, I think SF6 Terry is probably one of the very best iterations of the character in terms of gameplay. So much love and reverence was poured into him by the dev team.I just recently picked up COTW, and I don't even care all that much for how Terry plays here. I much prefer Mr. Karate.
>>750101760It simply does not look visually pleasing
Smashfags were actually right about one thing. Nobody actually likes fatal fury beyond Mai's fat breasts.
>>750101760It didn't have Cassandra, the only guest character that matters.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hklGa4uPYfY
>>750107765>they rather complain about something over making threads about something they loveWhen I make threads about something I love, they just die. 90% of /v/ is attention-farming bots shilling for corporations. You could see that very well just before CotW or 2XKO released.
>>750101760It was terribly presented:>First gameplay video, the game has bad graphics but if it has footsies like the original it will sell by people running from SF6>First trailer goes from a lashy colors move that's a multi hit autoguard to a rev bar combo, killing that public>Ronaldo as a guest character making more people flip out and leaving. And making clear that's where the budget went.>There was that boxing announcement with real life people beating the shit of the characters just in case you thought the company had any respect for the product.Leaving a handful of KOFXIII spriters to complete the original MVS sequel would have sold more.
>>750101760>Ugly>Gameplay looks slow and boring (ex spam)
