>>474958271They are, though all of their characterization comes from KOF. It's still a bit of a waste since they're really only around to play second fiddle to the "Heroes" of the series and the biggest bone they were ever thrown was being the winners of 2003's KOF just because they canonically handled Adelheid while the real MCs were busy with the actual plotIf there's one thing I like about XIV+XV it's that the tournament actually matters and it isn't treated like an afterthought like in NESTS/Ash where there might as well not even be a tournament in any of these games

I'll install fightcade and try to learn garou (and sf3, maybe even kof2002) as a complete newshitter once the leverless control I bought gets here, hopefully won't be such a pain

>>474981001>tfw Rock is low tier (again)
>>474981001LET'S GOOOOO
>>474938869>Normals based on proximityAlmost every SNK game has proximity normals
Thank god SNK didn't follow Capcom and make their retard controls option viable.
>>474981001>when the chinger no longer changers
>>474986471What SNK game is designed in such a way that the player can't directly control if he gets a light vs heavy normal to come out? If you hit the light kick button you're never going to get heavy kick to come out no matter the context. If there is a SNK fighter where the game it's selecting your strength level in this way please tell me the game.
>>474986934They just turned lights and heavies into close and far normals, you're overthinking it
>>474987375>It's a shit design that removes any sense of player control but since i'm a snk dick sucker i'll make excuses for it by pretending it's not a big deal.Opps, I forgot where I am, my bad. I'll make my way out now.
>>474987745okay retard
>>474987745I guess having close and far normals are 'taking away player control'.
>>474987745Don't hit yourself on your way out, crapcvck.
>>474977841That and budget yakuza modes no one asked for.
"WAH WAH!! WHY DOESNT EVERYTHING PLAY LIKE A CLONE OF MY PAINTJOB GAME!!!"
>>474990934Yakuza literally is only popular because of its story and characters and fucking World Tour has NONE of that despite being a genre ABOUT characters. I do not fucking understand how Capcom fucked up that badly when the purpose of a story mode should be to have a storyCACs are fucking cancer
>>474992138And the fact that the ACTUAL CHARACTERS people care about are cast to side content with minimum to almost non-existant main story involvement while it focuses mostly on some jobber gang stuff with irrelevant whos is what gets me. They set up Ken's story for nothing only for them to not even do anything with it.

what was that one leak saying that a metal slug team shooter was being made? it sounded so fucking coolim imagining ralf would totally have some of his moves from kof translated perfectly into a shooter, leona too probably
>>475028493pretty sure that was a fake whatever that was
>>475029208obviously, snk arent very fond of dope ass ideas such as that, but god i wish it was real it sounds like it would be so fun
>>474972727Fucking perfect, I’ve always hated having to double tap the control stick
What’s your dream SNK game?for me, it would have to be remakes of the Metal Slug Mission games, Advance included, they’re super fucking underrated and deserve a tribute like that (also red eye is cute)
4 bright buttons and 2 joysticks!
>>475031408serious ikari warriors game that looks big time, big stakes that starts small and builds up to a bigger plot, big finish, a real serious threat of an enemy that makes the ikari warriors seem like they are really struggling to get ahold of the bad guy let alone beat him with whatever tech he has, it's not just something you can mash and bash to win and it isn't difficult just because it's hard to control like something that would anger avgn like it's jekyl and hyde

>>475034613People mishear what Ryo is saying as Iksan Station
>>475031408All I want is Metal Slug game with lots of extra modes like online battle, survival, tower defense... but especially a map creator. Just like Mario Maker, where you can share and play other people's creations. I love this. I spent dozens of hours creating maps in Tenchu 2 when I was a kid. Imagine having all MS assets (mobile games too) to create your map. It's not difficult or expensive to do and would be awesome. But, hey... ...shatter all expectations...

>>475054608good, that means the day the 75% discount will come faster and then I can buy the game and never play it, really wish SF6 failed like SFV, I bought it for $4 1 year after launch
>>474964074my wife, Fio
>>475065776(I also really need a complete guide for the game but that doesn’t exist)
>>474986542Yeah but SF6 players are crying about it on reddit & twitter. They're telling other SF6 Modern players to not get cotw.
>>475079947If SNK actually made a good Story Mode then Smart Style is 100% perfect for at least finishing the game casually versus "needing to be viable" because fighting game devs shouldn't be trying to lower the skill ceiling for competitive play, they need to encourage people to give a shit about things that aren't just the PVP to actually garner attention for their games. The PVP will always be there because it's expected, but unless you're some kind of braindead system like CoD or Fortnite or Pokemon then you need to prioritize the single player experience which fighting games have truly failed since at after SFII
>>475079947>modern control players trying to judge other people in the communityK’ek
>>475079947This literal WHO has no power to block my based wet dream (laughs)Soon people will migrate to SF6 to COTW. A better game.
>>474986542>Command movesCombo chain fodder>BrakingCombo chain fodder>FeintsFake outs to punish with Combo chain fodderThe only thing here that makes me scratch my head is how they're handling the Supers because those are how you attract normies, but otherwise you legitimately cannot dumb down half of these options or include them in Smart Style without instantly raising the Skill Ceiling and making it more difficult to play. You'd have to either remove them entirely or come up with compromises like this to even feature the simplified control scheme
>Athens open-world game>"""Game journalists""" have another stroke over the character's female body and the game gets a full marketing boost for free>+1 million sales guaranteedSNK won't become AAA only if they don't want to be
>>475079947>I don't see Smart Style to be tournament viableand it fucking shouldn't bethis is the one point where i wouldn't care if it doesn't sell on this bulletpoint alone, this trannatine can take xir business elsewhere or hang xirself imho
>>475049172Finally, a modern fighting game that looks worse than KOFXV.
>>475079947The biggest issue in my eyes with SNK take on Modern is that it has little to no flexibility or freedom in it's design. As in it aggressively doesn't want the player to be able to do anything outside of auto combos & smash specials. It's super pre-programmed. This is the complete opposite of Modern in SF6 which lowers the floor to make the game vastly more accessible but doesn't force the player to stay on that floor if he doesn't want to. Modern gives the player this wide range to calibrate, and it's completely their choice what they want to do.Ex; if a beginner in SF6 picks up Gief but can't do combos, drive stuff, 360s/720s yet he can start out on Modern and rely on the simple inputs & autos. But as he gradually improves, he, at his own pace, can start incorporating 360s/720s, manual combo routes, & drive mechanics to improve his game. He doesn't need to drop Modern to unlock any of that. The skill celling can be as high as it is in Classic if the player chooses so.
SNK needs to follow the way of japanese anime studios by silently and "accidentally" hiring game developers from North Korea.Then with that and Saudi money they can become the ultimate evil company.
i told you guys that there are people in here trying to make things easier for losers who can't play but wanna be able to hang with the pros with crutches
>>475086927K'ek
>>475086256Oh fuck off nigger. How about you tell SNK to stop shilling Smart Style to us likes its an equivalent to SF6 Modern Controls when it's nothing like it. Because we are not demanding shit from those bums, it's SNK that's going around doing the, "Hey Modern players from SF6 we have the thing you like in our game now too so please come play our games", and than SNK apologist like you chimp out when Modern players rightfully tell SNK to fuck off, that the crippled garbage they're try to push on us to play their PS3 looking ass game is a fucking insult.Faggots like you got their mouth wrapped so tightly around SNK cock that you're so quick to excuse & blame everyone else when it's SNK that's in the clear wrong with their bullshit false advertising. I'm sick of you niggers, SNK could literally insult your mother and you'd still find a way to defend them.
>>475089730>How about you tell SNK to stop shilling Smart Style to us likes its an equivalent to SF6 Modern Controls when it's nothing like it.

>>474972192so, how are we going to do this in a 16 button leverless? the rev button is awkward and idk what the lp+hp lk+hk button will dobdash (dash?) dash (throw?) lp hp r2(lp+hp) lk hk l2(lk+hk) r1(rev)
ofc 4chinz 2000s test layout not only doesnt have indentations it also removes the blank spaces I type
>>475095554LP+HP/LK+HK(EX Moves)LP+LK(Throws and brake specials in a combo route)HP+HK(REV BLOW)REV button is pic related
>>475098223any idea what the rev+triangle (L1) button will do?
>>475099231Rev+Triangle(HP) is a universal overhead that crushes all lows. Its similar to MP+MK in 3rd strike if you played that.Rev+Down and Triangle(2HP) is a universal anti-air. Its low profile and blows up bad jump ins and some standing attacks.
>>475100656looks like a pretty good button to have mapped
https://twitter.com/Genki_JPN/status/1781896626979934639It's so good to be a Snk CHAD, bros.
>>475049172It doesn't matter if you design the best fightan ever if it looks like it was made in a month. Fighting EX Layer has the same issue.
>>475106017Which is funny because my first thoughts about FEXL back in the day were that the graphics were honestly good. Nothing jaw-breaking, but far superior to Kof14https://youtube.com/watch?v=ftdJ7-db_GU
>>475107742Looking better than KOFXIV isn't an accomplishment
>>475107989Oh, okay.
>>475108607I'm clowning on this game too because HXHfags were trying to blame DBFZ "looking good" as the reason people aren't giving this game a chanceDoesn't help the publisher is more known for mobage stuff. Bushiroad already completely fucked over Love Live's near decade dominance, how the fuck do they think they can break into fighting games with this?
Which game has the best Iori laugh?
>>475108607bushiroad poisons everything they touches. Wrestling, Card Games,idol, gacha if Bushiroad is involved its going to be a giant piece of shit after they are done managing it.I feel bad for eighting for getting involved with that fucking evil company
>>475085224I'd buy it
>>475095554how the fuck does anyone enjoy using this? I’d rather use a fuckin atari joystick
>>475109258>EnjoyIt's literally the most optimal way to play fighting games that isn't keyboard. Because inputs aren't analog you just train yourself to memorize shit like a piano player and it prevents carpal tunnel. If you want to actually go pro, you should adopt this, otherwise you're holding yourself back and will damage your handsGuess why normies don't like this fucking genre
>>475109550I’m not using your fucking translucent drum machine, I’m playing with four bright buttons and a joystick as Oda intended.>b-but muh cyarpul tyuhnul shindruhm!wearing a helmet in boxing doesn’t prevent you from getting CTE. using a retarded controller doesn’t prevent your wrists from being destroyed.
>>475109550>Carpal tunnel>modern fgsThere are no modern FGs that require high level of execution. C.Viper was 16 years ago.KOFXV world championship was won on a stickSF6's best player is a pad playerMost of DBFZ best players play on pad.Strive's world champion was won on a hitboxSaying that you need a hitbox to go pro is pure cope, it's just preference like sticks or pads.
you don't need a leverless to go pro, but it's the most comfortable controller and it gives you the advantage of having more buttons
if the chinks make a good sega saturn controller, with full features, I'd buy it and try playing fighting games with it, but they are still stuck making xbox controller clones (I have the flydigi vader 3 pro and it's brilliant but not for fighting games)
>>475116112i bought a usb sega saturn controller from retrobit, and i'm not impressedit's too easy to accidentally jump with it especially if you're going for half circle motionsso i just stick to my og mk80116 with mayflash adapter and just deal with any input lag
>>475116605oh, retrobit is poo poo, the companies that actually make good controllers are all chinese with weird names and stores on aliexpress, sadly they haven't realized there's a market for sega saturn controllers with untapped potential yet

Is Geese gonna be in the new Fatal Fury? I know he's supposed to be dead, but then how did they add him to KoF?
>>475151325He's not dead in KOF but he's probably going to be used as a dlc character despite being dead in the fatal fury series.Maybe he will be like Freddy and appears in Terry's dream or something to sell dlc packs.
>>475151573I know is a dumb idea, bu I would love to see KOF original characters showing up as cameos in COTW's endings,
>>475152038As long as they avoid directly referencing events of KOF like Orochi and NESTS they're more than allowed to pluck some characters as cameos. Kim's entire character development is exclusive to KOF because FF Kim is literally just Mr. Taekwondo. You can add Jhun, May Lee, Gang-il, Luong, Hein and Vanessa without question and it wouldn't feel out of place. Chang and Choi are already canon to FF thanks to the Real Bout gamesBut Fatal Fury has enough original characters that I'd rather see get focused on over having too many imports because we're literally working with over 20 years of missed potential and lost time. Finish Rock's story before we start getting cuckoo
>>475151325>>475151573Nightmare Geese exists, he seriously doesn't need to be DLC. Just put him in the base roster and have some sequence of Rock having a bad dream and then that's it.

>>475156886>So you admit you're a childish bitch who seethes against a drawisn't that the entire snk fanbase personalityseething against bigger draws like arcsys and capcom
>>475152685I'd cut out Luong, Hein and especially Vanessa. They're more KOF characters than Kim characters. I would also count Chang and Choi, but as you said, they make a cameo in the RB games, so that ship sailed.
>>475152685>As long as they avoid directly referencing events of KOF like Orochi and NESTSthat would be a good idea
>>475158435t. bitter uncreativefag>>475158447No.
>>475159518The Agent characters aren't just tied to Kim but Mary and Geese. They've been working towards toppling him and their current arc has nothing to do with anything Orochi/Ash/Verse so they're more FF-aligned than you give them credit for. I actually excluded Ramon because I figured there wasn't enough justification compared to the girls and Hein to even include him despite working with King of Dinosaurs. If anything the only reason they wouldn't put focus on Vanessa is because she apes off of Rick Strowd. But yeah they are lower priority to Kim than the others are, especially since there's no real Agent plot going on in Garou that couldn't already be fulfilled by Mary>>475160701That SHOULD be the idea. The most we've ever had is Kyo and Iori allusions arguing in a car crash in Hokutomaru's stage
>>475160980That little subplot going on with Mary, Vanessa, Luong and Hein trying to topple Geese while backstabbing each other is something I could actually see as a subplot in FF. I like the grounded crime-drama feel of the FF games.
https://twitter.com/Elicca0/status/1783477888278560918
>>475160980I don't think Vanessa and Mary are that tied to Luong and Hein, they stop Luong from stealing Dolores' shit, Luong unknowingly gives Hein a fake one, and thus he fails his gambit against Geese and he runs away with Luong and Yamazaki. Mary still doesn't like Geese because duh, but Vanessa doesn't really have any reason to go after him when in KOF there's much worse things than him. And yeah, she and Rick are too similar, and Rick fans are very vocal on wanting him back, so to add Vanessa into FF would be an ass move to pull.Plus, there's no Geese to topple, so what would Luong and Hein even do now? I guess Luong would just simp for Kim while also dating his master, but Hein has basically nothing because all he has is "Obviously going to betray Geese" and you can't betray a dead man, without some dumb retcon that'll piss people off, "Oh he was here the whole time but just in the background!"

>>475083446>otherwise you legitimately cannot dumb down half of these options or include them in Smart Style without instantly raising the Skill CeilingWhat? Modern does it in SF6 just fine. Just let the player choose. If you want to stick to motions and manual inputted combos, you can do that in Modern. If you find that too hard and just want to use shortcuts & auto combos for everything, you can do that too. If you're someone who is fine with qcf/b & half circle motions but hate dp motions or 360s, you can do a mix of both motions & shortcuts. Modern doesn't constrain normies hence why it works so well at attracting them whereas SNK smart style is literally just an insult.
>>475215215>Dominated Mind and Wild Ambition postersNeat.
>>475215927Cool, you just listed a bunch of basic shit. Let me tell you what I listed:>Command MovesAttacks that are specific to ABCD. When you remove half of ABCD, then the only way to include command moves would be to incorporate them in the generic Punch/Kick inputs or Smart Combo. This defeats the purpose of a command move because it being tied exclusively to one button is how you activate it versus neutral>BrakingSame thing, tied to specific ABCD moves. When you remove options the only way to cancel a move would be to hit the other button, because there's only two Punch/Kick buttons. This isn't the same as an actual cancel because usually that requires meter and this just ends the move if it has a brake in the first place>FeintsSame thing, except instead of stopping your Special you throw out a fake to begin to trick peopleThat's why I said these are advanced tactics that cannot be dumbed down. Incorporating any of these instantly raises the skill ceiling and makes it impossible for Modern/Smart controls to simplify for normies that won't be expecting tactics like these. And even if you did include them, they'd be heavily neutering your movesets even further in Smart Style. This isn't the same as footsies SF6 where the only thing you can do in that game is Special or Slime. Maybe they should have incorporated regular motion inputs in Smart Style, but these other tactics are the reason people are saying Smart is not viable
>>475216673Yeah. Weird that DM is before RB2 there but I get why
>>475219390Dominated Mind was the PS1 version of Real Bout Special, so it appears before Real Bout 2. Also, it gave us Alfred.
>>475218086>then the only way to include command moves would be...Have you ever played KOF 2012 on mobile? Almost same button layout as Smart style but chars had access to their command normals despite having just a single Punch/Kick...For example, Terry 6A would just become PA and his 3C would just become P3. They also would put moves that couldn't fit in with the limited button space as command normals so now Terry 2D would become 3K and 2K = 2B instead.
>>475223672KOFXIII barely had moves to begin with so that checks out
>>475210230This picture looks more cute than sexy to me.
>>475205864I think it's the same one who voiced Guile in SvC Chaos.
>>475222317I know it's a "new" version of RBS but it released after RB2 so it's weird to see it there before it.
>>474972879I do like how video game-y the mechanics sound.
If they are revealing a character at EVO for CotW which one would you want /neog/? I wish they brought Alfred back.
>>475226440All of my options are characters that nobody would want back so BILLY FUCKING KANE>HEY HEY HEY!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kgJ8b_1cTQ
>>475216673Wild Ambition gets too overlooked. Sure its clunky but it does alot of stand out things visually and mechanically. The way characters are animated not one to one to their sprites and the meter system was ahead of its time. Its was called heat meter and you start out with half of it full, then you'd gain and lose heat as you dealt or took damage respectively, then you could use it to do supers or a heat blow which was a big unblockable that would stun the opponent if it hit. but if you got hit if you had no meter you would "overheat" and be stunned. I mean Street fighter 6 basically redid this for the drive system but everyone wants to say cotw is copying from capcom when SNK did it first.
I like kyo’s rekka because having a 2 part voice line that changes depending on the follow up is cool, it’s like you can choose how to insult your opponent’s body while also beating the fuck outta them (damn he really is a jerk)
the new age saga feels weird not having shoto kyo as an alternate character of some kind
>>475227205He is already confirmed.I expect someone not confirmed yet or a brand new character.
>>475227205It would be better if it's a character that has not already been in KOF for the past 20 years.
>>475231601by that logic Terry, Andy, Joe, Mai, and Kim should not be in the game. You didn’t complain when Billy showed up in just about every Fatal Fury game back in the arcades, did you? or are you simply being a contrarian?
>>475229492he may be confirmed, but we haven’t seen him in action, and with how awful he is in XV, I am BEGGING for him to be good in this one
This is why exclusively making KOFs for 20 years was a bad idea. Completely undermined Fatal Fury's legacy and impact on the industry for the shitty, bloated fanservice roster because nobody could appreciate something more grounded and poignant
>>475210230Based Fio.
>>475232135I just don't think showing characters that we've seen a million times already in 1 franchise to promote your other franchise, makes said franchise seem all that unique and new. Though Fatal Fury isn't new, it might as-well be to the majority.
>>475228142Andy is based in this game
>>475234524Garou: Mark of the Wolves launched in 1999. For a not-insignificant chunk of the FGC, City of the Wolves will be their first real Fatal Fury.
>>475234524I think despite some people saying they hate 3D. They really want to see old characters they like in 3D and playable in a newer game.

>>475290645Wow Rock's power geyser is kinda lame.
I just want a new Last Blade...
>>475294512I like it but seems weak without sound. When he does it in the trailer it's nice.The other secrets are great so far. The Terry one is probably his best super ever and Hotaru/Tizoc are also really good. No one got the Preecha one yet and Dune spent almost 20 mins trying.
>>475302052Forgot to add, they also already changed the Buster Wolf effect. They really want to get everything right this time
>>475302052I hope someone makes clips of the hidden supers
>>475302587Never mind, my wish was already grantedhttps://twitter.com/goziline_staff/status/1784058892861001950
>>475303307That's a mix of Power Geyser and the move Terry learns from Tung on the Fatal Fury movie, really good. 0:30 for the new buster wolf effect
>>475207571A good 60% of the mechanics in the game return from RB2/MOTW. The other 40 are ripped from other games like SF6 and GG.
>>475289448I know this is like alpha build 9+ months away until the game releases, but they should really do something about Terry's hair just phasing through his collar/jacket.
>>475304465The Seppuken? That's one of Tung's specials, in the movie they just make it way bigger/cooler looking. Kinda wish he actually did the move after the two kicks to properly kick off the giant whirlwind, then add a Power Stream (or an axe handle slam like it) to make it alight. But still good, just me being picky.Rock's still sucks though, feels like it's the ending to a new Neo Deadly Rave they just skipped.
>>474958484Well, Terry IS a transgender icon...
>>475305110Yeah... every single time the camera gets close to his face I see that same part of hair is clipping.>>475305348The beginning of Rock's super is the part I don't like because it has no impact but I really like his Power Geyser. I also like that him and Terry end their move the same way, just walking to the camera.
>>475305958>part of the hair clipping*
>>475305958Honestly, I like the beginning part, but it's more suited as an ender to something, especially with the wings coming out. When we saw that in the trailer I was for sure thinking they gave EX Shine Knuckle a new ender, similar to the one in KOF14. Also I have no idea why the camera lingers on the Geyser when it doesn't even show the opponent be hit by it.
>>475303307you convinced me, snk, this game's earlier footage looks passably good at least from this compressed videoit's a shame you dogshittedly rushjobbed kofxv the way you did for this thobut i will give you a cornette claphttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDOrc8FmDy4your next step would be packing the game with content, and not just "arcade mode -> fight guys -> stock cinema A -> fight more guys -> stock cinema B -> fight midboss/boss -> boss stock cinema -> character ending"

Some jp dude made a comparison with the Buster Wolf and they changed the effect like anons say here, but they also added the effect of the first hit Buster Wolf always had and was missing on the first trailer.

>>475352092So Terry is like 100 years old in COTW?
>>475352119And what wrong with that. Terry's like the only fighting game main character who isn't boring and overshadowed by another character from his series.
>>475353649There are some kof fags that are really angry with the focus and the reception this game is receiving so far. I didn't notice before that some people that like kof have a hate boner for everything else from snk but it also happened a bit with samsho

We got some direct footage nowhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_9z8ca-9cU
>>475365849So what do I think of this gameplay?
>>475325502Basically a cooler muscle spark.
>>475365849It looks really fucking visually good but SNK really needs to bake some chiaroscuro shading textures on the NPCs in the bg so they don't stick out as bad as they do. But it really does put SF6's model design to shame. Not as good as Tekken 8, but I think that game's held back by its particle effects
>>475365849Terry's face still looks too weird to me. Like his nose is too wide or something
>>475228142>I mean Street fighter 6 basically redid this for the drive system but everyone wants to say cotw is copying from capcom when SNK did it first.One thing I've learned is that there's been so much overlap between the Japanese game companies it's insane. Especially in fighting/beat em up & action games. If they didn't directly worked with each other, they were inspired by it. I wonder if Takashi Nishiyama realized his impact via creating Street Fighter & Fatal Fury.
>>475367808I've heard the drive system copied Under Night's GRD too. I'd say that there is also a case to be made that an auto-regenerating meter that you start the round with is similar to MK11's system too. But what I never heard anyone mention that SFV's v-trigger is basically KI's instinct, which in turn is similar to Darkstalkers... There is too much overlap between FG devs at this point.
>>475368307Funny, when I first saw MK11s meters, I mistakenly thought that that the regular specials were tied to it and Art of Fighting popped in my head. And funny you mentioned Darkstalkers' DF system from Savior/3, one can say Capcom took from themselves via Children of the Atom. Remember how everything was tied to the meter? Supers, Teching AND Theow Reversals and Mutant Powers
>>475228142There's also the Art of Fighting meters that start full with you being able to do everything and goes down as you use special moves and other stuff.
>>475341126>Terry adjusts an invisible hat after landing a Buster Wolf"Still in development," indeed.
>>475366865I don't know about Tekken stages but SF6 background characters also give these same vibes but they do a better job hiding it.In the bar stage they do an ok job so you don't pay much attention to them but they need to work on this for the park one
>>475373592SF6 hides it in their stages only to put them right in your face with World Tour which is the strangest shit

I thought that storm bringer doing extra damage after a moon slasher whiff in XIV and XV was just a fun callback to a glitch, but after realizing that it exists in 98, I’ve started wondering if it was intentional or not. maybe it was some kind of hidden dev trick for beating opponents fast so they could get to a certain point?

https://www.twitch.tv/21colossusMotW tourney? on the stream of the jp guy that uses a dino mask in tourneys, the same one that hid a loli hentai doujin bellow the mask on a twitter post a few years ago and Oda retweeted without noticing the book>>475417459The animation is also completely new for it
>>475416809It's more stylish than XV's overly simplistic one.
speaking of new animations https://twitter.com/ThefearcrowBob/status/1784249863015911632
>>475420427Yeah CotW feels like a huge upgrade over XV.
Already 100 mins for the CotW queue again and it will probably get longer because more people will be eliminated from their games. I hope everyone gets to at least try it.
>>475419623Damn, producer-san has it good
>>475417459They reworked all his animations, for supers, specials, walking animation and some of the normals, even though some didn't change much like C. HP some are completely different like jump LK and c. HK.I'm happy with the changes. Even with the early Buster Wolf before the "fix" for example you can tell the difference in the pose and the clothes/hair moving
XV is on next right?
>>475422895But twitter told me they reused XV animations...
>>475423612They didn't and changed pretty much everything which was something I didn't expect. Some dude made a video about it but I don't have it saved, just some few images. Maybe later I'll try to find it and make a big pic with all the new keyposes
>>475420427Yeah I think it rides a good balance of being somewhat stylized without being obnoxious yet unobtrusive without being boring.

>>475420495This could mean they have a model of Terry from FF2/FF3. Its like a reverse of KOFXV where MOTW Terry is an extra character. But this also gives me concern that they are making the same mistake from XV with MOTW Terry having KOFXV Terry animation, aka the hat adjustment animation. They did fix that in a later update, but it looks like they are repeating it again in CotW.
Preecha actually looks good with this color
I miss her..
>>475429982What happened to her? Did she just fuck off after Ash got wiped from existence?
>>475429336I wonder if that's why there was no MOTW Terry costume in Smash. Most of his taunts and victory animations involve his hat.
>>475430740How's it feel knowing Saigado will never make a Kensou x Love Heart doujin?

>>475438034>cotw release dateToo soon to announce. I hope they don't release the game close to something big like they did with XV that was like a week from Elden Ring
>>475438476>too soonthey already have a playable demo, if not now then regular evo this summer. although I think release date announcement is the only thing that would qualify as a "historic"
>>475437682Today? But it's one of the most dullest tier filled majors of KOFXV, and CoTW isn't coming out for a while for it to be the one making history and KOFXV is in the shitter, what history could be made here?
>Still a 2 hour queue for CotW>>475438615It's only coming out next year so at least for me it's too soon to announce the date

Marco looks less exaggerated, I wonder if there's a sensitivity department at SNK
>>475444139if there's nothing at evo then they're probably going all in for COTW, and after that doing kof16
>>475444212>10k people watching on the main channel>don't show the trailerEVO is retarded, if I was SNK I'd ask for monetary compensation
>>475444190>>475444191>A Kyokugen karateka whose hefty, hot-blooded nature has earned him a reputation for being a beast in battle. With his dojo sign stolen by forces unknown, he has no choice but to hone his karate skills elsewhere in the interim—namely, at Yuri’s fitness club. Upon learning of a new KOF tournament on the horizon, Marco steels himself for what lies ahead: an opportunity to spread word about his beloved dojo, a chance to get its sign back, and (of course) a turbulent test of his Kyokugen Karate might.
>season 3 for ko-ACK!
>yuri is a milf now and has a fitness club
His secret super looks great. Also "Yuri Fitness Club"? When did the Sakazaki dudes became rich?
>>475444263My negro, nothing was announced at their own event, nor the biggest FG tourney in their own nation. The game is done.

>>475444250He's looked a bit more serious for a while. He's still the burly black karateka, but they made sure to get across that his skill is legit.

>>475445132You're right. English should be banned and the whole world should just speak Japanese.

The stage is so good, even the bear from Marco's stage intro from MOTW is there
>Some of the rocks on the rock-climbing wall include the Neo-Geo faces and the Neo-Geo controller
Unless they're saving any more announcements for the 29th then KoF XV is officially done.
>>475446175The only cameos I found are the bear, the name of the place and the Mr. Karate mask, nothing really hidden like in the first stage. Maybe they will add later
>>475443217How much time passed between games? Especially if Hokutomaru is meant to be older now according to rumors.
>>475446484IIRC, it's a two year time difference
>>475446076well something SURELY must explain how i can totally be here 24/7!
>>475446629yes, you are a mentally ill sperg. anyone can tell that immediately, especially from your creepy model posing
>>475446484As far as we're aware, it's been two years since Garou: MotW.
>Samsho was a success, being SNK's most successful game to date despite having sparse releases and even getting 3 seasons of DLC>The latest KOF can't even get a season 3 and is less successful, despite getting all the attention and being SNK's main(and practically only) franchise they pump out often for 20+ years.Knew dumping every franchise to shit out KOF games wasn't worth it.
>>475446302Didn't even notice the controller. Really nice
>>475446831sorry you're jealous that they really enjoy them down at the gubmint buildings so i get a nice payout for them that lets me be here 24/7

I already like Marco's new theme. It starts with the peppy Yuri motif before going into the typical "karate hero" theme, like he's a fusion of all the Kyokugens before him.
>>475447247if that was the case i would have teleported behind you and sliced you and shown you a drawing i did of you before i beheaded you so i am clearly elf instead
>>475447291>Adding Preecha's Lvl 2 bionic arm and not her Hidden GearDumb
>>475447098I just realized, did SNK ever say how much either of those games sold in total?
>>475444573>When did the Sakazaki dudes became rich?Robert's probably funding the whole thing at a loss. Unrelated, but the first shot of Marco made me think SNK gave him buck teeth for a moment because of the brief sheen effect that was on his lips.
>>475447883kek I thought the same exact thing
>Marco can now brake his Hien Shippu Kyaku (both versions)>REV Blow/TOP attack is still Zanretsuken>Air REV Blow is the Raijinsetsu>He does both versions of the Kohou uppercut (fist and elbow)
>>475447883So that wasn't just me.
RIP
>>475447291that's because she's a hag now and her eggs expired, no more libido
Maybe the stage is in the same place as this one from AoF2 but in the Fatal Fury timeline
I really like the new stage, it kind of give me Virtua Fighter vibe.
>>475448472Fatal Fury takes place after AOF. Same timeline.
Kind of shocked the only thing they announced was Marco.
Yuri silhouette
>>475448845they clearly have a slow dev pipeline that needs to have some efficientizimizationizing
>>475448061He does a Kohou and a BUILT UPPER.>>475448472Yes, the new stage is that stage, Yuri just bought it to make it into her own fitness club.
>>475447256Ouch
>>475447256>instinctual crotch blocking
>>475444573Yuri opened an only fans
Trailer looks like Butt.
>>475449862Does her ass still look nice. How old has she got to be in COTW?
>>475450006Yuri will always be the hag who tries to act like a teenager.
>>475450006She'd literally be in her 40s
It's obvious KoF XV didn't sell that well. Enough to fund COTW but not enough to let SNK brag about their sales numbers like every other company. This makes me wonder what they will do for the 30th anniversary. My guess is a single piece of art on their twitter that can also be converted into a phone wallpaper.
>>475450330And probably still act like she's 17.
>>475450754Is Mai cosplaying as Haohmaru?
>>475450890Yes
Why was he called Khushnood Butt in the first place? Did SNK think there could only be one guy named Marco and people would get confused?
>>475450704Who knows. I'm at best hoping for a third boss for the boss challenge mode. Honestly I wasn't even confident in what characters would even be included in a Season 3 since everyone's favorites are base game and anyone else just feels like padding. I think they still should have made one but even like 3 characters and a free boss would've sufficedPersonally KOF just isn't a big seller like the fanbase thinks it is. It's always been a curse on SNK and Fatal Fury coming back and actually turning heads might be a bigger nail on the coffin than KOFXV being KOFXV. I legitimately do not think KOF is capable of being the AAA franchise SNK needs. It's a franchise like Smash making OCs for no particular reason. Separate them, make a Hakkeshu game and a NESTS game. Putting all their eggs in KOF's basket has failed every single time
>>475451210From the wiki so take it as a wiki>In International releases of Garou: Mark of the Wolves, Marco Rodrigues' name was changed to Khuhsnood Butt. Although the reason for this change is unknown, it is believed that his name was probably changed from "Marco Rodriguez" to avoid confusion with the real life mixed martial artist named Ricco Rodriguez.
>>475450704I think the game did well but the season 2 didn't. All that matchmaking shit probably hurt the game
>>475450330>She'd literally be in her 40sAnd that's bad... how? I'd still NTR Robert
>>475451210>>475451426As for why he was named Khushnood Butt specifically, no one knows.
>>475451474I've long since stopped questioning SNK tenuous grasp on western languages even by then.
>>475451376>Personally KOF just isn't a big seller like the fanbase thinks it isnobody thinks it is, but KOF was keeping SNK afloat when the industry moved beyond arcade games. SNK did try to expand into other genres with their IPs, see the samsho RPG and light novels/dating crap
Either I'm going mad, or Marco's pompadour has physics.
>>475451474I 100% believe someone in the overseas department said a completely nonsensical name as a joke and they just ran with it because they thought it was funny.
>>475450704B-but anon, the SNK fanboys in this thread told me that KOF XV is a massive success. Did they lie to me?
>>475451596If you're going to do that you need to kind of, you know, localize your games. I won't blame SNK during the Aruze era because that was internal sabotage even worse than what Sega experiences but when SNK Playmore came around they haven't made a single good decision until the 2020s>>475451734It was! For KOF standards
This dude is also on the new stage.
>>475451376>>475450704XIV did surpass all of expectations and allowed SNK to kick-start every project afterwards but SNK grew complacent and left XV to the B-team, putting an inexperienced and somewhat retarded artist in charge, wasting all the good will they had build up over the last six years
>>475451843Yeah, Marco's white belt glasses tagalong is in his stage as well.
>>475451685Ah yes, the Tomino method.
>>475451942I know what you're trying to do by posting Tomino what with Mr. Four Vaginas and all, but that's a pic for ants, my dude.
>>475451912I suppose we can expect to see Kim Jae's little victory kettle slut. Did they ever get a name?
>>475451814from their perspective, I don't think they really thought samsho RPG and KOF for girls would sell well in america. SNK isn't capcom, they've never had IPs that went beyond arcade games or arcade genre. arcsys dipped their toes into different genres and they were still SNK tier up until they started hitting gold with fighterZ/strive SNK lucked the fuck out this gen when SF6 is fucking horrible and looks like an abortion. from Oda's perspective, withdrawing resources from kof15 and throwing it all into CotW is their best shot
>>475452175No, Kim Jae Hoon's GF who carries his kettle doesn't have a name.
>>475450761As long as she has the body and tightness to match, all is good.
>>475451734It did but with live service games they can't keep supporting it if they aren't making more money. The problem with XV is that it did really well at launch, it kept people for a while for first wave of DLC then it fell of a cliff because people lost interest.I think the right thing to do with fighting games is to suport for like 2 years then move on. It's better for everyone
>>475452232It's probably the smarter choice in the long run. They don't have to worry about making the game as, for want of a term, BIG as a KOF and can actually focus on making it look good and play a bit tighter.
>>475451860>XIV did surpass all of expectationsMy man those expectations were through the fucking floor after XIV's initial reveal. XV has done more to repair SNK's reputation than XIV ever did, but SamSho and CotW are doing more than either game. XIV wasn't some miracle game that "saved SNK" it was an "oh, people are still willing to buy our crap" gameKOF has always been a budget franchise. Even when you dump all your money into it like Maximum Impact and XIII, it doesn't work. These ARE cheap rush job games that were meant to be replaced, not updated. KOF can't Street Fighter, Tekken, Guilty Gear, etc. and I don't think it should because all it does is leech and suck SNK dry>>475452232Street Fighter was never good to begin with, any time it was is a total accident like Third Strike. Capcom has been floundering so much that their rivals keep getting more attention and we're still waiting on fucking Akuma to finally finish their game and see THEIR Season 2. I can't imagine it'll look good eitherArcSys got big off of BlazBlue being fresh off of SFIV's heels reviving the genre but the last generation of fighting games are only as big as they are now because the one-two punch of V and 6's disappointments are just too much to bear anymore
>>475452232I don't think CoTW achieves anything impressive beyond having better sales than KOF XV. SNK needs to stop making fighting games and diversify their games. I'm sure the real AAA game that will put SNK on top won't be a fighting game.
>>475450704things i've been saying all alongkofxv was a b grade project still being sold at regular price and coming out really early with a season pass was another red flag that production was a fucking giant mess
>>475450704I mean SNK literally never talks about the sales of their games in any capacity nor has ever done so, so I wouldn't say that's indication that the game didn't sell well. Though if KOF 15 did do very well and if it hit 1 mil or something, I think they very much would proudly state so.
>>475452587Pushing a new brand at this stage might be harder than you think though. At this point the only other big IP might be a new Metal Slug (Not tactics) but even that would still be very arcadey. So unless they surprise literally everyone with a new Crystalis or Athena based metroidvania who the fuck knows.
>>475452479you're also forgetting the blowback from the tekken 8 crowd. I know everyone here hates Oda, but he's reading the situation perfectly. just focus on CoTW while SF6/Tekken 8/Strive are garbage, I don't think SNK has ever had a chance to flip the market this hard before. >>475452587>needs to stop making fighting gameseverything else is arcade stuff. they would need to hire and design for a samurai shodown action RPG like Nioh or some shit. it's too tall of an order and a huge risk....at least if CoTW succeeds it might be possible (and saudi moneyz)
>>475452837Has the kickback from Tekken 8, Strive and SF6 been that bad? I haven't really followed the main stream fighting game scene in a while but usually those games coast on brand pretty hard regardless of quality.
>>475453080yes. tekken 8 pop has collapsed and everyone is pissed about their microtransaction schemes/ balancing. sf6 is dead everywhere outside of japan. strive is actually doing OK, but it's hated.
>>475453164Crazy. How bad were the micro transaction on Tekken? On a scale of 1 to Dead or Alive 6/
>>475452751In an investor meeting they bragged about Heroines selling 300k copies and also about how they had made their money back just from SamSho preorders
You guys are kinda dumb. Games don't last too long nowadays, people just want new things so it makes no sense to make more content for a game that already lost the appeal of being a "new thing".Palworld is a big example of this.>>475452837Fatal Fury looks good so I like Oda.
>>475452751>SNK literally never talks about the sales of their games in any capacity nor has ever done soI don't want to be snarky but they literally did that for Samsho selling 40k units.https://www.snk-corp.co.jp/press/2019/070403/
>>475453227battle pass with base UE5 assets. broken DLC characters. retarded bugs, horrible balancing, people are furious with the base mechanics, etc. tekken 8 has fallen below SF6 population in about two months. >>475453280I like Oda too (he has good taste in characters), but the local schizos hate him for some reason.
>>475453164The fucked part about Strive is that it basically soft reset itself and the new fanbase it garnered completely overshadows the much more miniscule old fanbase. Which is why Daisuke brags about "killing Xrd to make Strive." So it's really a vocal minority in Guilty Gear's case and it's developed a massive hatebase of people who just hate Guilty Gear fans in the FGC. Friend of mine even described the reason Smashies transition to Strive as their first real fighting game being because they're pedophilesSF6 and T8 are your standard Battle Pass bitching. I fucking sure hope SNK sticks to their "traditional old school" fighters if that's the alternative
>>475453364Ouch. Well that's what happens when you get complacent I guess. Some negative feed back and, hopefully, competition will do the genre some good.
>>475451210They answered that in one of the KK streams from way back. They aren't even sure themselves, it was just something SNK of America suggested at the time.https://www.twitch.tv/videos/546567555>>475451685Pretty much Resident Evil got it's name in the west, wouldn't be surprised if the same thing happened here.
>>475453437I'm not even sure how to do battle pass with CoTW. the aesthetic looks too unified for DLC crap, and Oda has said he doesn't even believe in DLC costumes. the real concern with CoTW is the breakdown of matchmaking and etc. apparently the CoTW demo queue was 2 hours in evo japan, so the interest is definitely there.
>>475453597>I'm not even sure how to do battle pass with CoTW.here's a suggestiondon't
>>475453597It already has crossplay confirmed so they should really focus on making everything work on week 1
>>475453751we have now entered the timeline where SNK can flip the market on street fighter with Fatal Fury...strange times
>>475453597I really hope CoTW is closer to KOF14 than 15 in terms of how it approaches DLC. I know it's most likely inevitable giving the sorry state of affairs but make your game feel complete first and THEN if it does well and people demand more characters you can go about adding them. This game needs to do well and win over fans good will.>>475453673The concerning problem is that so many gamers these days have been brainwashed into thinking that season passes and DLC are what extend the game's life rather than the game just being good to play. You know there's gonna be some retards screaming DEAD GAME if there's not a DLC pass before it's even out. It's very demoralizing.
>>475453926>The concerning problem is that so many gamers these days have been brainwashed into thinking that season passes and DLC are what extend the game's life rather than the game just being good to play. You know there's gonna be some retards screaming DEAD GAME if there's not a DLC pass before it's even out. It's very demoralizing.what's demoralizing is trying it and seeing the low sales anywayif you want to do dlc, give the main game time to breathe first and then feel out the air and if it's like "okay we played the game a bunch and we like it and want more of it"then if you want to really concede to this stupid mentality, then go for it then, and no soonernone of this "oh we couldn't make it to the game's deadline so here's the content that was GOING to be in the launch game, 30 bux plus tip pls kthx"but otherwise it's sad that we only continue to reinforce values that zoomers allow themselves to be retarded about and even go so far as to try and claim that poorfags are too poor to pay extra for shitty dlc practices doesn't that sound familiar, snk defense force fags
>>475453164>sf6 is dead everywhere outside of japan.By which standards? Back in SFV's day, successful fighting games were those which were hovering between 1k-5k concurrent Steam players. Strive set a new standard by beating SFV, and Tekken 7 did it too. Nowadays both Tekken 8 and SF6 easily get more players than their predecessors outside of Japan time. So unless our standards increased heavily from SFV's day for no reason at all, there is no way those games are dead. In fact, Both games have more players than Strive, why the fuck are you saying Strive is doing OK and SF6 isn't?
>>475453857I don't think any game from SNK can even get close to Capcom's, but they are making a good looking game that isn't braindead for you to play, that isn't as hard as KOF and giving casuals their mash button to have fun controls.They are in a good spot because now they have another good chance of grabbing new people to their games.
>>475453364>I like Oda too (he has good taste in characters), but the local schizos hate him for some reason.Shatter All Expectations was a terrible tagline.
>>475451843Wasn't he in a doujin with Yuri?
>>475454559Who would be attracted to a company that supports its games for a maximum of two years? Furthermore CoTW is still an ugly game in the eyes of zoomers.
Comparing with the First Trailer>Rock: Initial Poster>Hokutomaru>Mai>Jenet>Kevin>Billy: Initial Poster (we know he's in)>Marco: Revealed today>Hotaru: Second Trailer>Gato>Tizoc: Second Trailer>Kain: Initial Poster>Terry: Terry>Preecha (second trailer)Alright so Hokutomaru, Mai, Jenet, Kevin and Gato are left to reveal for currently established Vets from the first trailer. I'm counting Kain and Billy as "revealed" because they were in the initial Rock poster, even if Andy and Joe still seem to be MIA. While I'm also expecting Gato's father to be playable there is the possibility he's either a non-playable boss or NPC in general so I won't get too "HE'S IN"Roster currently matches Garou's size. Currently the only egregious exclusion are the Kim family as a whole
>>475455553When I see a game that needs years of support what I hear is that this game is unfinished and only there for as long as hype holds rather than being a sustainable and solid experience. A lot of games hold up just because they're good.
you guys posted it already? our boy marco is inhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TfQQ1jde5g
>>475455553Why do you want to play the same game for more than that as if it was you job? Most people don't.
>>475455553NRS fans lmao
>>475455693Also, no Freeman.
>>475456032>you guys posted it already? yes retard, plenty of times, read the fuckign thread, dumbfuck
>>475455693>Roster currently matches Garou's size.which if that's the case, you don't get to flex on sfdix's starting roster size like you tried with recycle of fighters xv lol
>>475456563>read the fuckign threadnah, Ill pass
>>475456763good, then go fuck yourself imbecile newfag
>>475456850>then go fuck yourselfnah, Ill pass
>>475456496Freeman is a bizarre edge case regarding if he'll be in or not. He's very 50/50 because if they really did want to go hard they'll have the entire Garou roster but at the same time cutting him isn't as big of a deal, especially due to his ending in Garou. I figure this game will have A Kim. Honestly seeing that they're so adamant on the Garou cast makes me think SNK is the opposite of Capcom and actually respects their new generation so we'll probably see the Bros as base game and daddy as DLC or some important NPC like Richard Meyer>>475456583KOF rosters are slop machines. The franchise has always been recycled assets and this general needs to open their eyes to thatRight now the only thing to flex is that the game doesn't look gross or boring. If it gets a sick story mode then that's another + with the only thing SF6 having is a battle pass lmao
I hope Hokutomaru is a really huge buff dude now
>>475457012I would like to see at least one classic Fatal Fury character we haven't seen in ages show up as a playable character. Maybe Bob Wilson or Rick Strowd.
kof players are rioting for not getting a season 3
>>475457012>Right now the only thing to flex is that the game doesn't look gross or boring. If it gets a sick story mode then that's another + with the only thing SF6 having is a battle pass lmaoi'm not even saying it needs a large roster, it's a plus but it's about scale of the bigger picture, not the size of only certain aspectsbeing packed with things like you mention a sick story mode that has a lot of depth and breadth to it that feels like each character may have a journey or role in something or at least a goal in mind that may or may not converge with the main story arc or at least brushes with or crosses paths in some tangent fashion, mini games and bonus stages, other forms of single player shit, but it's all about making the game feel big in general and not just "i have more characters" dick measuring contests because that did little to serve anything with regard to kofxv as for starters, its launch roster was still dwarfed by the very game it recycled from's launch roster, shamefur disprayi personally think cotw is looking pretty good all things considered but that's only a single step in the grand scheme of trying to knock it out of the park
>>475457328Same desu. Those two are behind Duck King as my oldhead picks. It's honestly kind of hard to want certain characters knowing they were only ever intended to be roster filler and don't have the desire to be wanted but that's kind of what Fatal Fury is in the long runPipe dream would be Cheng or a disciple because it'd be funny af. The potential for OGs having fun function disciples is still pretty high at least
>>475455693They'll definitely include one or two of the Kims.
they don't realize the sooner kof15 dies the earlier they'll get kof16
>>475457615Given Fatal Fury is being hyped up as having a "rich story mode" I'm hoping they live up to that because World Tour being as disappointing as it is for me pisses me off to no end. It was right there and they squander it by doing fucking NOTHINGHow the fuck are you going to promote Luke as your new protagonist and do nothing with him? Capcom went from saying he's the future of SF to pretending he's as developed as Ryu and the World Warriors. They actually skipped the establishing mascot arc>>475457678My sentiments exactly. I told friends they could even have just Dong and I'd be okay with that>>475457691KOFXVI is gonna be controversial af and I'm all for it. It's going to be funny af seeing whatever stupid shit they end up doing because XV is a once in a lifetime experience. It'd especially be funny if the roster is even smaller
>>475457691This is why I don't like games lasting too long
>>475457631I just feel it's always a little sad when so many fighting game characters get written off in favor of only the mega super popular ones. I understand these are your brand deal sellers but the more a series goes on and the more a series has fewer and fewer wild cards the duller it seems. KoF is packed with as many OC characters as it is alumni and at least of a third of any given roster is starting to feel like it's going to be ex hero teams.
>>475457921>How the fuck are you going to promote Luke as your new protagonist and do nothing with him?I honestly can't believe someone at capcom actually thought this pud was someone who should be the face of the series.
>>475457921>My sentiments exactly. I told friends they could even have just Dong and I'd be okay with thatDong would be based but I'd like if his father atleast came with him too.
>>475457921>Given Fatal Fury is being hyped up as having a "rich story mode"I wouldn't trust anything SNK says. I remind you that the same developers who ensured that KOF XV was the most ambitious to date. Stopping updating it before the game's second anniversary doesn't sound very ambitious, you know?
>>475455553NRS don't support a game longer than like, a year.
>>475458292>>475457921They also promised a "story mode" and the "climax of Shun's story" for XV and we all know how that went.
>>475458032It's pretty much that right now lmao. Base KOFXV was 4 Hero Teams out of 13, and another 3 of those were spent as direct Rival Teams. This plus always having a Fatal Fury, Art of Fighting, Ikari and Athena Team means there will be NO fucking variety going forward unless they start cutting mainstay characters and KOFfags cry about thatThe only remaining Teams that have nothing to do with who I listed are GAW and Agents>>475458292KOF games aren't ambitious. XV is ambitious by KOF standards. It's time to let it go. Expectations were shattered by being met because KOF never met expectations before
>>475457954What annoys me isn't exactly the lifespan of the game so much itself but the actual cycle they go through these days. It goes something like this.>New game comes out>They spend years charging DLC for it>They milk as much DLC as they can then announce a new game.>All that DLC you spent years buying is now worthless. >New game comes outAnd the last DLC packs are almost always too close to the release of the new game. It never feels like there's a gap. And they'll often be basically charging us again for the same DLC we already bought.
das it mane
>>475458402>It's pretty much that right now lmao. Base KOFXV was 4 Hero Teams out of 13, and another 3 of those were spent as direct Rival Teams. This plus always having a Fatal Fury, Art of Fighting, Ikari and Athena Team means there will be NO fucking variety going forward unless they start cutting mainstay characters and KOFfags cry about thatSeriously. It's at a point where even if you had that full 60 character roster you'd need massive cuts of the secondary and tertiary characters so the only ones who are allowed to have their favorites are the ones who main popular never miss a game characters. It's just getting a bit predictable and boring. The roster is bigger but somehow the world feels smaller.
>>475457921>Given Fatal Fury is being hyped up as having a "rich story mode"i'm very cautious about their rhetoric as they never follow through
I feel like a lot of games, not just SNK ones feel like they lack freshness anymore. It's sort of equal parts brand fatigue and decay. But you remember how it was when you played a NEW fighting game and it had a whole new cast of characters and the world still felt like it had energy and uniqueness to it. Like they were setting up a new status quo and shit can go anywhere and for a few games it felt like there was momentum and development. KoF is kind of at that stagnated stage. Things feel too safe and predictable where they won't actually do anything that has long term brand consequences. Because where can KOF even go. Don't say Dragon Spirit. I'm hoping that a return to a more simpler FF can bring back that kind of freshness.
>>475455693I expect every character from MOTW (14), add the veterans we know (18) and then Preecha, that's 19. Add Hotaru and Gato's dad as a newcomer, then two more classic characters and we get a 22 character roster. If I could make it 25 the other three would be newcomers.There's obviously going to be DLC, so I hope for Mr. Karate (Ryo) and Mr. Taekwondo (Kim) in that.Nightmare Geese is also a weird case because he could be in either camp and as long as it's just like, his spirit or memory or something and not "He's back from the dead!" that will be fine.
>>475458618That's why I say only XV can get away with this and honestly their options should be to go more OC like with R-1/2 where they merged Teams like South Town with Terry/Ryo/Mai/Kim or let certain characters sit it out lord knows the NESTS characters haven't had any development in decades. Shit I don't think any Ash Saga characters will be coming back since there's barely fucking any in XV to begin with. KOF being the only thing they focused on for two decades is suffocating and our options are fanservice rosters like XV or "essential" rosters like XIII/XIV where the DLC are all the fan favorites (I hate this more, personally)It's just not sustainable. I feel like I only like KOF because it was the only thing SNK was doing with its characters, but CotW was the game I ACTUALLY wanted ever since getting into SNK>>475459016KOF hasn't felt that way since XI when it was trying to get experimental with its roster. They tossed that all aside with XII and it's just been "back to the basics" ever since>>475459361I would rather Nightmare Geese be like what Akuma should fucking be instead of DLC. A hidden secret boss that you can't play as but rapes your shit like Wild Ambition Geese. That said for DLC I'm expecting Yamazaki and Blue Mary to be safe bets just because they are popular enough to finally bring into the Garou timeline but not relevant enough to want to continue their stories at the moment. It'd blow my mind if they were, but they're probably the safest DLC bet out of the FF crew (even being DLC in XIV)~20 is a safe bet for a smaller scope sequel like CotW. The ambition should be in its presentation, which so far it looks to be
>>475459617They need to bring back 4 character teams, clearly
whole lot of anti-Terry in KOF propaganda here
>>475459617I don't think making an unplayable boss is going to be seen positively unless they're like, giant. The fact that Re Verse isn't playable is weird. So I wouldn't want N.Geese like that.I do think the roster will be around the 20 mark, hence 22. I feel like that's a good amount for a base roster.For returning characters as DLC Mary and Yamazaki are shoe-ins, I'd also add Rick to that as well because the Western fanbase talks about wanting him back a lot. Duck also has a following, and fuck, bring Xiangfei back as well since she was in KOF. Devs seem to still like Raiden seeing he was in the GWA ending in XV. And of course the Mr.s like I said earlier. I'm also a Franco Bash fan but I think giving his moveset to Junior would be cool to add to the new generation.
>>475459617KoF was cool because it was originally that SNK mega event. But even after Orochi and DEFINITELY after NESTS they were kind of showing they were keeping it going just for the sake of keeping it going. And it's started to come at the expense of some of the original series.
>>475450330the same art popped into my mind too.I got visions of this too:
>>475459617Personally, I had a lot more fun with XIV's roster, it had a good balance of classic/mainstay picks, wildcards, and newcomers. While having DLC sucks I also prefer fan favorites being DLC if they won't have absolutely no relevance to the plot plus you know, XIV's DLC felt like an actual expansion for the game instead of paywalling content that was blatantly obvious meant to be part of the base game.XV's roster being pretty much just the "greatest hits" was too safe and boring for my liking and the one, surprising addition (McLovin) was completely wasted in a nonsense plot
>chatgpt war
Popularity has basically become a self fulfilling cycle too.>We need to have these characters because they're popular so the less popular characters need to get the boot.>Less popular characters might be liked but they don't get a chance to build momentum in the franchise so they never get to gain the same level of popularity. >You need to add new characters every game so that leaves less and less room for old characters to come back.
>>475444190>actually good English voiceis this the power of Kyokugenryu?Don’t know if anyone’s mentioned it yet but I like that the bear he kicks in the face in Garou is a student now
Stop arguing, Terry Bogard is irreplaceable.
>>475460721The bear has always been a student. It's just that we've never seen the full extent of Marco's dojo.
>>475448871She still has the braid.
>>475457691didn't SNK say fighting games were probably going to take somewhat of a back seat so they can work on other things?
>>475455693Terry's poster had Andy and Joe. Also, I am expecting Yamazaki.
kek
>>475461079They say a lot of things but I'll believe it when I start seeing shit.
>>475423612>>475424409>They didn't Explain this
>they realized no one cares about the dub so they pull a Str*ve and rename the JP trailers into japanese so it doesn't show up when searched in english and so that people watch the dubbed trailerDisgusting
i'll take listening to some hyper-leftist problem children speaking my language over ching chongs blipping their strange esoteric signals because i am not an incel
>>475461580yeah they been globohomo'ing it up, that's why i'm not buying garou 2
>>475461580>tranny newcomer>push dubs>no sniffsLiterally dix
>>475462668the fuck is a sniff?
>>475462717Back to plebbit newtard
>>475462854>invent new slang out of nowhere>get asked about it>immediately throw a tantrum and call people redditorsI can tell that you’re a very mentally stable person who’s fun to be around.
>>475463017Man get a load of this fuzrup.
>>475462717It's an /fgg/ thing, their code word for a cute/hot girl (because you want to smell them). Angel would be a KOF sniff.
>>475463017I wish that your children have cancer at birth
>>475463152>4chan user having childrenk’ek
>>475463136I dont browse our obnoxious sister general a lot, why wouldn’t garou have any? we’re pretty much guaranteed to have at least Mai or Jenet
>>475463223>4chan as umbrella term instead of the general or the boardYou just outed yourself even more, redditor
>>475463386Mai and Jenet are already soft confirmed, and Hotaru and Preecha are already playable. There may be more characters down the pipe.
>>475463534So I’m arguing with a complete utter retard?
>>475463623You just took the bait, but I agree with him you're likely a dumb newfag
>>475463623Potentially, yes.
>>475463534pedoshits and trannies aren't sniffs bucko
>>475463697been here for a while, I’m just stupid is all
man, Marco moves look great, I'm so excited for the game, really have high hopes for this one
if Marco still has those weird button hold moves I ain’t playing him
>>475466425They were literally two of the first three moves in his trailer. He has everything back from Garou:MotW, including his negative edge punch and kick. You don't have to use them if you don't want to.
Will we finally find out the identity of the Gym Buster? maybe he’ll be playable? (It’s probably yamazaki)
>>475460721>actually good English voiceLMAO no>watching the shit dub trailer in the first place
>>475466957Yamazki's daughter.
I don't play KoF, I just came to say that I need herhttps://youtu.be/4dJAO7AY1Ps?t=1829
>>475445132you will never be japanese>>475445937you're right ban yourself from speaking and typing in english so I can never understand what you're saying again.
Yamazaki feels kinda obvious, I think it would be cool if the gym buster was a member of the Kisaragi clan
>>475466957Marco's story in this game is that the gym buster struck again and stole the dojo's sign, so until he can get it back, Marco's school has temporarily relocated to Yuri's gym.Also, do we have any new Marco art? I know that Ryo fujo likes to draw all the Kyokugens.
Will they bring back Marco’s weird victory animation where it looks like he’s about to kiss you
>>475467238So what retard?English isn't my native language, my native language has better dubs so there's no magic imaginary "bias", stay mad knowing that your language has the shittiest dubs JAJAJA
>>475466983you will never be japanese.
>>475467406You mean this one?
>>475462668>No sniffsBut i want to sniff Hotaru's butthole
>>475467474you already sperged here>>475467238sorry your countries subs are shit, you'll survive
So when will they add some cool character? Nobody wants to play as a karate gorilla
>>475467498no image
>>475467620whoops means dubs but the sjw pozzled localized tranny subs are trash too
>>475467705
>>475467620>saying all this while spending his entire life on an english forum while speaking in english>the irony is lost on himWhy don't you learn japanese if you love it so much? Sorry that would take too much work ethic and intelligenc.Btw.日本人にはなれない
>>475467689Alfred soon my friend
>>475467689We could’ve gotten his karate bear but kekken fans would get pissy
>>475467737>all those buzzwords in one spoiler>weeb as wellGo outside your vitamin D deficiency is acting up.
>>475467689
>>475467757>COME GIVE PAPA KHUSHNOOD A BIG OL KEEYUSSyes that one
>>475461910This is why you're losing the culture war so badly. You "people' are more whiny and sensitive than the SJWs
>>475467924He's clearly meditating/ki training.
>>475467689Duck King soon my friend
>>475461580More people care about dub than sub. Weebs are a minority.
>>475467887you seem to be a newfag who doesn't realize he's in a site that originated from an anime board at something awful and that it copied its interface straight off from 2ch and now has japanese ownerhope you learned something newfag, maybe try facebook if the "weebs" scare you so much
>Hotaru is 18the fuck? Thought she looked 14 at most, possible relation to Athena?wait a second, why would they censor the funny super when she’s of legal age?
The better question is, how many newcomers will they add? I think there's no question without a doubt that 65-70% minimum of the entire roster is popular. You know they can't add all of them (at least initially) and you know they have to add some fresh bloods.
>>475468119Why so defensive, Ameriturd friend? Your shit industry hires fucking cringe Youtubers as "pros", that's why it's being made fun of
>>475468380Because the problem is the orgasm, not her age.
>>475469276Let the woman coom, she deserves it after years of not being playable
>>475467474your dub industry will never be good
Does Marco have at least one move that does the AOF crunch?
I worry Kevin might the one to go.
>jumps in out of nowhere>CHESTO!!>kicks a fucking bear in the face>proceeds to beat the shit out of youMarco is cool as fuck
marco looks like he smells less badi played him a bit in garou, but didn't have much fun because he's just a shoto. i liked freeman too but he sucks. if i get cotw i'll probably play him, considering none of the other characters look too fun or amazing. garou just doesn't have interesting characters, which is sad because the older games had quite a few
>>475469621Kevin's not getting cut. He has a line in the first teaser trailer.
>>475470410doesn’t Geese also have one?
>>475470512No, he doesn't. Geese is dead-dead.
>>475470574I foresee this aging rather well
>>475452175>>475452272I find that perplexing because she gets to appear in pic related.
>>475452175>>475452272isn’t that his mom?
>>475471008No. Myeng Swuk - Kim's wife, and Jae Hoon and Dong Hwan's mom - is a noncombatant.
>>475470898Terry being a glorious motherfucker as always and showing Rock who the real main character is
100 MEGA SHOCK>>475471369>>475471369
FWIW I have not given up hope for a KOFXV updateBecause running it as the main game at SWC without updating for a year would be an unfathomably poor decision.
>>475468302>m-m-m-muh animu siteNo one cares you wapanese loser.
