Aged like milk
>>487679859Billy Chad reporting in.
>>487680001>>487680320Apparently, this is Billy at 33.
There's no way he isn't getting hit with the male pattern baldness. Somebody knock his wig off
>>487681375The midlife crisis hasn't hit him quite yet.
Andy is gay
>>487663324>>487663340Not sure how to feel about the facial hair, but I can get used to it. I'm liking the new moves. It makes it feel like his staff is more fully utilized.
FREEMAN
>>487681673The impression seems to be that age has cooled Billy down a little. He's not whooping and hollering like he used to.
They showed Billy at some Chinese event, so that aside I guess info on CotW will continue to be dripfed slowly for now since we still don't have a release date
>>487681883ChinaJoy, the Chinese E3, opened this weekend in Shanghai.
>>487679903COTW is definitely a major improvement over XV, we're not going back to sprites any time soon so this is the direction they should continue to go with at least visually.Honestly I'm not sure why XV ended up really generic compared to even Samsho which came out before it and had the same style of models, but ended up having a striking art style.
>>487682241They learned a LOT of lessons from KOFXIV and SamSho, and you could see the improvements immediately in KOFXV. FF:CotW is taking those lessons and applying them in a more stylized game.
>>487680001He looks like he's a member of a dance music group.
>M-my name... is... Kh-Khushnood...Why did SNK do it to him?
>>487682212>ChinkJoy, the Commie E3, opened this weekend in Shandygay.
>>487682583
Looks like the "Garou densetsu shity of za wurws" at the end of the trailers, which used to be said by Geeses VA (I think?), was now spoken by Billy himself in his trailer.
>>487682420Marco was his name everywhere else, and even SNK isn't sure why they changed his name to Khushnood Butt.
Blue Mary COTW leak
>>487681883Will probably be the usual one character every month or so reveal until around late Autumn (which isn't far away)/early Winter where they start showing more
>>487682846i wish they would put regulation A on steam
>>487684640Hi, Falcoon. how are you? everything okay?
>>487680001Billy looks like he'll smash you with the Flavor Cane all the way to 2nd Flavor Town.
Best SNK beat em ups and non-fighting games?
>two trans-coded characters>now Billy's jacket has "save the planet" signAnd you told me SNK wasn't woke lmao.
Fuck off retard.
https://youtu.be/Xr_SwbaKQXY?si=oq7TH7zaN6LThkXuThose Brazilians really know how to port some shit to the Megadrive.
>>487684976im ok man
>>487685210Don't forget the "apology screen" and censored art in SvC Chaos. also Jenet tranny face in the game and Mature/Vice with man shoulders in the art. Now even Terry is ugly as hell and SNK won't say a word about it.>>487685246If you remove your fanboy glasses, you'll notice little red flags. For me, it's over. They got contaminated by the woke.
>>487685210Billy usually has "no smoking" jacket, but still likes to smoke. Probably took it off some guy he beat up.
>SNwoKelol
I bet if Oda reveals Billy's concept art, people will going bananas again.
>>487679859Joe WILL become Billy's brother-in-law
Do you think those asking where Billy’s bandana is are echoing 1998 anons asking where Terrys hat went?
>>487682846This design is wild to me because I would never imagine Mary being the type of character to even remotely dress like this.
>>487679859Lilly instead Billy would be better
>>487682846>Rainbow Mika-fied Blue MaryGIMME
>>487680001I'd probably have tried to give him more of a Billy Idol look myself but glad to see him.
>>487680320>>487680001Hated it on first watch. Liked it on the third. The hair sucks, but it's in line with the weird shit people wear now days and it's better than Shun 'ei. Besides the bandana and 2000s shades, it's not really all that different to OG Billy. Glad they changed it up without fucking up too badly.
Oh that's so cool
>>487682241Yeah, I shat on the worst parts of SS (midgets, some lazy backgrounds, no zoom, cardboard Ukyo hair) XIV (speaks for itself), and XV (speaks for itself), and I will do so with CoTW, but it looks decent to great so far. I'm happy with it. Nothing really to rip on.
>>487688875Never ever
>>487689010Let an old man rest and sell his snake oil, we're supposed to be focusing on a new generation
>>487688887>and XV (speaks for itself)ok schizo
Anyone else happy it looks like every character so far has their own stage? Tizoc's arena was been only partially revealed and we don't know if Hotaru has one yet, but it's good so far. Hopefully every base character has one, unlike launch SamShow 7.
>>487688887>SS!!!
>>487689334We don't sign our posts here.
>>487689383I do hope we get something like her old belfry
>>487689531>what is stylometry
>>487685134>Best SNK beat em upsKing of the Monsters 2>non-fighting gamesShit, that's actually pretty tough since there's a surprising bit of variety outside of its fighting games, so I'll just say Shock Troopers II and Neo Bomber Man, though the sports games on there are worth a look.>>487687742>I would never imagine Mary being the type of character to even remotely dress like this.They actually discussed the reason for the Another costumes on an interview stream with Falcoon. At the time, upper managment want to try sell MI in the west with the appearance of an especially large roster, so Falcoon was asked to give characters radically different outfits and appearances with the Another styles as to make the game appear to have more characters. The end result being stuff like Mary and pic related.
i don't get the big fuss here i like XV. i think it looks good.
>>487690407It does
>>487689304Old men are always the coolest in fighting games though
>>487690407This general is famous for having schizo contrarians who shit on XV, and they don't even play games, they're "lorefags"
>>487691079Good luck getting any in City of the Wolves>Grant is dead>Tung is too old and probably dead>Cheng is controversial>lol Jubei
>>487690407>>487691608I don't really have strong opinions on XV one way or another. I bought it but I don't play it as much as I really should.
https://youtu.be/iT9ifR2n9REReminder SNK could've had actual cheers compared to this
>>487690407It's no shiny generation-leading charmer, but it's not impossibly ugly except for when I play it on my laptop
>>487690220For sure if this design was released today as a new character people would love it
>>487691795>EVONobody cares.
>>487685134>beat-em-upsI haven't played a lot of them. I had fun with The Super Spy.>non-fighting gamesTwinkle Star Sprites is an SNK property now, so I'll say that
>>487692254>Twinkle Pedo Sprites
>>487692671People that aren't you like it, cope
>M.Bison came back>Heihachi came backYeah I'm thinking Geese is coming back in CotW too
>>487693663I doubt it. A development like that is too predictable.
>>487691756>Cheng is controversialwhy?
>>487693663geese probably will be back but wont have anything to do with whatever story they have going on
>>487693902Or maybe he might, just a little bit, if they hit us with Nightmare Geese again.
>>487690407Repetitive loud opinions is not an indicator of a majority. KOF15 visually looks great and will age better than a lot of other fighting games released around its time. I wish I could say the same about Season 2's character select screen which just looks like a shitty placeholder. That shit really needs sorting out for when Vice and Mature are released in December.
>>487693663>Yeah I'm thinking Geese is coming back in CotW tooI hope not as it will undermine his arc and the impact he has on everyone without him around. Keep Geese in KOF, leave him out of Fatal Fury.
>>487631781Lucky Ralf
>>487693663Don't forget that Trump is coming back
>>487694783Who on the roster would shoot geese in the head
>>487694997Chris, but he'd do that to everyone else too.
>>487694997https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynw8A70Ro0U
>>487690009Not sure why you're going off on a tangent. But hey, Mr. Schizo, it's nice to meet you.
>>487690407It looks OK. Could look better. There are people who can see that, and there are those like you who will only see that when KOF 16 comes out and blows it out of the water. Same shit happened with 14. "It looks good, I don't see the fuss" blah blah fucking blah until 15 came out.
>>487695749Did people say that about 14? I enjoyed the game, but even after they did the graphical update thing, it still looked like shit
>>487694783Trump should be a fighting game character, he can parry bullets.
>>487694783But he isn't dead.
>>487695838>Did people say that about 14?I didn't. My only defense of KOF14 for its subpar graphics is that it was more important for SNK to get KOF feeling like a KOF game as they were transitioning from 2D to 3D.
>>487695972
>>487362217>Also I think I have a thing for girls that act retarded and have big boobsFirst honest Angel player in /snk/. We like that.
>>487696242Puta
How do I see my win rate per characters in XV? I remember being able to do this in XIV
>>487695838>Did people say that about 14?No, ignore the revisionist schizo
>>487694783>>487695983He actually died, but he went to the Isekai world and met Athena and after defeating the demon lord, who looks like Rugal, he came back seconds after the shot. I mean, that's the most logical explanation for his head dodging the bullet.
>>487697546I wonder how he would help Iori in the other worldDo we have retards believing that it was staged here too? Mother fuck this general is even worse than I thought
Umm
>>487690220Thanks for the recommends! Already played Shock Troopers 1, checking out 2 and the rest what you recommended.
>>487698497
>>487698497>>487698717ss is based
>>487697949Well, anon... anywhere you go, you'll find both types of people with political views. If it were Biden, Republicans would have said it was staged too. But it wasn't, obviously.
>>487698497>>487698717>>487699018
>>487685386Based Brazil huehue
>>487682846I'd impregnate her until she leaks
>>487693663The entirety of MOTW happens because he's dead you secondary parasite
>>487664638https://www.snk-corp.co.jp/us/games/kof-xv/characters/characters_angel.php>One of the cybernetically modified humans created by the secret syndicate known as NESTSIt says the same thing about Kula and K9999, but they don't have nationalities while Angel is Mexican. My theory is NESTS used DNA from some random mexican chick.
>>487702984Yes but consider that the industry is soulless now.
>>487703331Maxima is from Canada and had modifications when he was an adult.
>>487703331I need more Shermie vs Angel content
>>487690407I think it looks nice but some stages can make it look bad like the beach one. I also don't like the animations for some characters moves but this is a problem KOF always had.
Billy's render from the COTW website.
>>487705996Ops! Wrong one. Sorry.
Damn, Billy's redesign goes hard.
Billy's stage is nice but I still prefer the street one.
>>487692671If you see a cutesy game with chibi characters and the first thing that comes in your mind is pedophilia maybe you're the problem.
>>487698497Old news.
>>487680909He's like 42 in CotW anon.
Both Kevin and Billy could be at EVO. The hype would be bigger. Another missed opportunity.>b-but ChinaJoySo at least show a chink character like Xiang Fei to make more sense. They're not even trying hard enough to plan things out.
>>487696893Kutesumi is cute
pachinko bros...
>>487710629Make him blonde and the stick red and he'll look x10 better than the new design. Sometimes less is more.
>>487696893Kof invested lot in ryo x kingAoF invested lot in ryo x katsumiI wonder who will win the ryobowl in the canon match.
>>487712616>katsumiRYO IS GAY
>another reveal...I'm starting to lose hope bros.
>>487712193here anon, a blonde version of the shittiest design ever made that looks just as bad, unlike the new one that looks great.
Art from the "KOF for girls" artisthttps://x.com/kuren62/status/1816742195879428327
>>487713407>madman actually did itThe stick looks awesome. It has some kind of corrosion on it, which gives it a sense of age and wear. The hair editing is shit, sorry. I can't say more about it. But thanks for trying. As an extra addition, I would add the iconic bandana in the pants pocket or tied around the arm. For me, that would be enough to show an older, more experienced Billy seeking revenge. The new design looks like a mess to Billy. Like he is trying hard to look new and cool by some reason. As a new char, no problem (or another version). Idk maybe I'm getting old. Or maybe Shun'ei's design traumatized me forever.
>>487680001He looks perfect. I wish Mai and Angel get new designs too.
>>487687937I wish the lore is Billy gives hes bandage to Lilly.
>>487716445Other than the suit he always had clothes like this but from the time he's from. Since CotW is set in 2005~2008 it fits his character and the setting.I would say the the biggest change is him having these glasses, but I really liked the new design.
>billy's stage is basically freeman's stage GET THAT FUCKER FREEMAN OUT OF HERE FUCK HIM
>>487718216Calm down, anon. Freeman isn't real. He can't hurt you.Except online (laughs)
>>487718216Free Freeman for COTW
>>487713212If we get a boxer it's going to be Rick Strowd not either of those two. Was Michael Max ever even playable to begin with?
>>487720829It will be yet another new boxer to continue the trend.
>billy, andy, joe, mai, geese, blue mary, yamazakiWho else from Fatal Fury deserves to be in?
>>487716648Are you saying you think Angel is going to appear in COTW?
>>487722936Chonshu
>>487722936The localizers who keep putting down women in Fatal Fury 3
>>487722936bob wilson with a slight redesign to lean more heavily into his dancing/capoeira
Stop bullying Billy he looks he great!!
>>487724034We will all learn to accept this new Billy
what would lady billy look like now?
COTW Billy looks like a version "Another" made for Maximum Impact. How ironic, huh? Apologize to Falcoon you fucking faggots!
>>487722936How about Xiangfei?
>>487694520>it will undermine his arc and the impact he has on everyone without him around.Aren't SF6 and Tekken 8 already doing that by bringing Bison and Heihachi back?
is kim completely replaced by his kids for this game
>>487703331Reminder that Krizalid is Irish.It's meaningless
>>487720829It's not just about simply being a boxer, but I want the quintessential boxer look too. The boxing shorts, gym attire, and traditional red gloves look. That's something Rick lacks, like he looks like he should be throwing tomahawks not throwing. This is also why I was never into Vannessa...a skinny female boxer, absolute farce that I could never take serious. Also, I prefer black males for my boxers like how I prefer asians for kung fu masters and samurais. Big, mean faced, black men simply pull of the punchy archetype the best.
>>487724034NO
Glad they got an actual british guy to voice him, you can tell the accent is tastefully subtle and I like it.
>>487729084>This is also why I was never into Vannessa...a skinny female boxer, absolute farce that I could never take seriousAnon...
>>487725519>Apologize to Falcoon you fucking faggots!I always loved his work though.
>>487725519>>487730564I can't tell if Ash looks more or less like a twink than before.
>>487730913Why did he stop drawing KOF?
>>487730913I fucking hate Hokutomaru. He's so annoying to fight. I wish he'd never come back but he probably will.
>>487731121Good question, he moved to drawing Evangelion randomly, and now mostly draw original stuff
>>487730564he draws women well
>>487731093Have you seen his giant ass in MIA?
It's funny to think there was a time where people thought Kyo was stealing the spotlight from Terry.
>Billy King>Is neither Billy nor King
>This 60 IQ mexican bimbo gained enough strength to lift a fighter jetAngel's story is so funny, one young whore that surely a gf or a side chick of a cartel member gets chosen to be experimented on and now is unkillable save for some advanced weaponry or very strong individuals
>>487735709
>>487731646Saigado was always dangerously based.
>>487735819I forgot to post it but I really enjoyed that fight between Angel and Leona in the manga. It's a shame that KOF XV ignored the events of the manga.
>>487737263Was it ever meant to be canon in the first place? Especially since Mui Mui and Love Heart were no shows in the manga?
>>487730564Also Falcoon did the rule63 trend before Terryko, pranked versions, tranny Seth and GG stranny. He was ahead of its time.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-5YP92dEuYCOTW Billy comparison with XV
>>487735819
>>487739604Looks like most or all his animations and key frames are different too. Some have really small chances but I didn't see a single one that's the exact same
>>487694997Mr Big in the KOF timeline, he's already tried to assassinate him in XIV.
>>487743236And '96 too.
>>487737794SVC Chaos predates this.
>>487718216>Mentioned in Kevin's biosurely he has a chance r-right?
>>487741042Again, no animations have been reused in between these games.
>>487724251THE LORE HAS TO BE BILLY GAVE HER HE'S BANDANA!!
billy bros...we won. honestly I just see skinny guy fieri, but the design itself really feels like "billy, 20 years later". so it's very good. his two part f.a still doesn't knockdown though :(
>>487739604his stick animations are great, they really show the impact and also the "slinky" retraction to his stick
>>487722936I really want Franco Bash in but he's so unlikely. Had a really fun (and imo stylish) moveset in RBFF2, also he looks like Mario on steroids. Also if/when B.Mary is added I want it to the RB version of her with the install mode.
>>487739604I wonder how far along in development the game really is, character models always look pretty rough in their reveal trailers and then look better later on (very noticeable with Preecha). Billy and Kevin both look like their models need a lot of tweaking, Billy's animations are good though and seriously makes KOF15's animations for him look like shit by comparison
>>487750793Be like me and hope for Franco's son the same way I'm hoping for a Sokaku Mochizuki disciple as a newcomer
Chinks are getting a new version of XV with the DLC included, this sounds to me like a confirmation that they are done with it.
>>487751520I've seen others say that but I'd be worried they'd make Junior some metrosexual twinky fashion disaster guy that the younger members of SNK's current design team seem to love.Sokaku being in to some capacity could be interesting, one of those characters everyone forgets exists it seems.
any dark horse characters that could make it in?
>>487752071>Sokaku being in to some capacity could be interesting, one of those characters everyone forgets exists it seems.Some guy at my local arcade played Sotaku and he absolutely slapped my shit almost every single time. I can not forget that character even if I wanted to.
>>487752312most of the obscure FF characters, and honestly, I really think Krauser could make a return. it would be totally in character for Krauser to survive his own suicide attempt but then go on under a new identity since "krauser" is dead.
>>487739604not to bully, but i still can't believe british hooligan billy is a better staff user than falke is from sfv, what a disappointment she was
>>487752621Eh... she was alright.She had a couple of fun tricks and a FAT ass.
>>487752507I'd be a little surprised if they never kicked around the idea of Krauser having a bastard who would be a rival friend for Rock
besides geese and billy, who else from this group would you want in
>>487752621I forgot she existed.
>>487752071That's been an issue with SNK since KOF, especially post-NESTS. There's potential for making Mario Jr. into making a bit of a bumbling buffoon still but he'd only be around 20 or so by CotW>>487752507>>487752760Krauser was old enough to have kids like Geese but given his backstory it's probably for the best he had a "true heir" that he neglected rather than a bastard like Geese. Especially since Fatal Fury is about fatherless behavior
>>487752909Should it be Raiden, Big Bear, or a new persona?
>>487753007IIRC, krauser's entire background was about him struggling with the weight of his family legacy, and it also suggests he was honor-bound to slay his own father. I'd love for a "punished krauser" who has given up the name to make it in.
https://x.com/helsic/status/1816876124309213355At ChinaJoy, SNK China's cutie VP gave a speech about SNK's plans to revitalize their IPs in China
>>487752909Richard would be too old, Bob might be too but I think he'd be a fun character to bring back regardlessMichael Max doesn't have enough sauce outside of being a Balrog knockoffTung should pass the torch to Chonrei, who should be in his 20s and Cool by the time CotW takes place instead of being cringe like his kid self or ShunMight as well confirm Preecha is Hwa Jai's niece or somethingRaiden would be dopeDuck should be in every game>>487753229Maybe a bit too much like Nu-Bison for my tastes even if it's not really the same at all. I never cared for Krauser being Bison-like in FF2, the OVA did wonders for his character in the first place. Keep his suicide so it shows how fundamentally different, but similar he is to Geese
>>487753293i'm in love...
>>487744203Yes, but these versions are not playable.
>>487737794btw full pic
>>487753154Big Bear. And he runs a volunteer service were he helps kids. Really hammer down the redemption arc.
>>487752909Raiden gives me ptsd because of KOF13
>>487753293>They just release another version of KoF97
>>487718216they should replace freeman with fatal fury's other weird psycho who has a more interesting design
>>487753293>SamSho = Shen Hun Xiao>KOF = Fist Emperor>Metal Slug = Alloy Warhead>Fatal Fury/Garou Densetsu = Hungry Wolf LegendI guess they're not that far off.
>>487753395Bob wouldn't be any older than Terry and the gang.
>>487754194Exactly, and Capoeira would be a great way to flex the new animation skills like they did with Billy
>>487752909Not in your pic but I always wanted Ripper and Hopper to be playable in a game
>>487753994China loves that game.
>>487752312Asuk-I mean Tsugumi
>>487754473You would not believe my disappointment when we got that lame Butler character
rick strowd, the most accurate native american fighting game character
>>487752312ryo in his mr. karate ii guise (from buriki one)
>>487752312i really want to see chonshu and chonrei all grown up and what did become of them after the events of real bout (i know that kim and tung fu rue took each one as a pupil) , seeing the aged up version of fatal fury characters is really interesting. That´s why it would really blown my mind will be if they put an older kyo even as a unrelated dlc.to the plot of city of the wolves.
>>487755631It would be interesting to see what the Jin brothers (and Sokaku) are up to.
>>487752312Son of Cheng Sinzan
>>487754808Hein's ok but he really didn't seem like a character that would be affiliated with Geese at all, and yeah that was an opportunity to put either Ripper or Hopper in there instead
>>487756354*daughter*
>>487749632Well, CotW takes place in the late 2000's so it makes sense.
>>487756053>Chonrei with his old moveset and some Tung Specials and SupersIt might be harder to sell Chonshu given he was trained by Kim and his sons already are in the waiting room. Chonrei has the potential to actually be a cool Chinese character unlike Shun, a caricature
>>487756594
>>487752312
>>487756862Probably less stereotypical martial artist desu. I'm not asking for someone trying to be cool like Shun'ei, but someone who feels more like a person rather than the Chinese doll he used to be due to his possession. Closer to Rock with a mix of Liu Kang or Yun>>487757715We already have Marco, and even if you want another Shoto we can just bring in Mr. Karate 2Chunners or even Luke would bring more variety to CotW but I think the Luke ship has sailed because clearly nobody gives a fuck about him anymore other than the fact he's as braindead to play as Ken
>>487756354>>487756432unironically basedhave cheng's ventures extend into media with his daughter being a reporter or something, that'd be fun
>>487690407>i think it looks good.we can agree to disagree
>>487758746NOI NEED people to agree with me, otherwise that would mean my opinion is wrong and that is just not possible.

>>487752312How about Alfred?
>>487761935Alfred was replaced with B. Jenet

so how's that kof 30th anniversary lol
>>487770253Shun has grown on me. The manga has helped but I'd take him over that faggot Ash and the try hard "cool" asshole K'. Shun's a good kid who respects his grandpa.
Who decided to make Kukri the bearer of the olympic torch?
>>487770362Yeah. I was expecting some sort of compilation for the old games at the very least. Instead, all we got was a "trailer" of Vice/Mature.
>>487724251Hair tied in a low ponytail, maybe?
>>487771081snk has enough ponytail characters as is
>>487771278Not enough.In fact, every female character should have a ponytail.Literally, and I do mean LITERALLY every girl can be improved by one.
>>487771278Pony tails for everyone! Never enough!

>>487754037White will come back as a tranny. Screencap this.
>>487771810>>487771814well sure because it is the snk character modeler's easiest hairstyle to do that they're willing to give it to everyone probably because they don't know how to do the original hairstylecharlotte
Why has no one anon replied until now on ITT that the symbol of the Paris 2024 Olympics is Shermie?

>>487772765OH NO. GEITEN, DONT LOOK!
>>487765137I would actually be down for this.

>>487784141Axel Hawk is based on George Foreman.
>>487786773Why would they base a fighting game character on a grills salesman?
>>487772535Shieeet that pasta of her connections doesn't seem that farfetched now
>>487784251Just be an idol producer and molest, uh I mean, produce her.

If timeskip Billy managed to be slightly divisive for losing the bandana then what the fuck is timeskip Mai gonna be like?
>>487772535Glad I wasn't the only one saw that resemblance, especially fitting since both the logo and Shermie are based in France.
>>487791330Ryu and Chun would be such lame guests. Aware many SF6 fans are upset about Terry & Mai and said the same thing but I don't care much for that game so whatever.
>>487791330Is Gato's Dad supposed to be a character eventually?what even happened to that plot point?
>>487791921She got herself a breast reduction surgery in order to be more nimble.
>>487792231Gaoh is Gato's father, the one who killed Gato and Hotaru's mother because he's an evil kung fu man. In Gato's ending, he ambushes and disables Gato before leaving arm-in-arm with Kain.
What is Eiji thinking here?
Wasn't the Howard Connection created by localization? I guess that's been adopted as official canon for a while now?
>>487792930dumb thot forgot to wear the mask
>>487792231Yeah he was being set up as a kind of a big deal. He's got a design in the old Garou 2 production sprite sheet. He's on the bottom right. So I'm really hoping the new game follows through and he doesn't become another Ron.
>>487792930>What happened to my loli Mai?!
I hope they don't fuck up Freeman's design.
>>487752621It's because SF5 animations are weak.
>>487793886How is she so perfect...
>>487752909>who else from this group would you want inDuck King and Richard Meyer.
>>487752621Modern street fighter designs and characters are all so terrible. I mean I don't think much about a lot of the new SNK ones either but imagine going all in and trying to push Luke as your new face.
>>487752909The twist will be that Hwa Jai transitioned into Preecha
>>487752909on the one hand i'd love to see duck king but on the other hand i feel like he wouldn't even feel like duck king at this pointlike considering the timeskip there's a non-zero chance of him just being an overworked salaryman who just so happens to have a chicken
>>487794369newfag....
>>487794345On the one hand, I have fucking had it with "le tranny" jokes.On the other hand... that IS kind of funny.
>>487752621>>487794034Yeah, Falke was infamously stiff and flat as staff wielders go. If she didn't have Psycho Power, Billy would easily wash her.
>>487794597>Falke was infamously stiffTrust me, I know.
>>487794597Sakura's new animations also fucking sucked, even SF4 had better ones
>>487794597I just remembered how shit Cody's animations were in that game.
>>487794034animator strictly talking from an animation perspective, but part of analyzing whatever he is talking about should be rooted in scientific application as well, same for when he (?) went over sakura's punches and kicks and there's a reason you lunge with your body rather than stiffen your body up while only moving with the arm to punch
>>487794772>Sakura's new animations also fucking sucked, even SF4 had better onesYep.
>>487793512QRD on the rest of the characters to the right of Kain other than Quan and Gaoh?
>>487794959At least SF4 tried to match her Alpha poses.
as i saidfor better or worse, in sakura's case worse, sfv went the fresh assets for everything route, including animationsame for sf6kofxv did not go fresh and that's why its roster size is bigger than them by a lot
>>487795304Yes we know anon, you always back peddle your asset reuse is bad argument when the new stuff is worse. No one wants change for the sake of change if the animations are the best they can be, that will always be the point.
>>487795628>Yes we know anon, you always back peddle your asset reuse is bad argumentnot reallyyou're just dumb and a bad reader
I hope Mai's redesign looks more housewife-y, incorporating an apron like picrel would be a nice way of doing that. Hope her and Andy tie the knot too like in the KOF universe.
https://files.catbox.moe/3206sp.png
>>487796006Why is Andy so nervous? Is Mai a terrible cook?
>>487795937>not reallyYes, really because I've argued with you about this many times before. The conclusion is that you want change for the sake of change even if it takes time and resources away from other things even if it leads to inferior results.
>>487796818nah the conclusion is you're a dumb reader
>>487791330>AOF characters besides Ryo/Mr.Karate.>Duck King (DLC 3)Retarded list.
>>487791330>Wish lists now contain DLCYou people depress me
>>487796796I hope she is.Cute girl who is terrible at cooking is one of my favorite anime cliches.
>>487796796Probably not, it's just hard to focus on the food.
>>487797045i'd saythe fact that he's already desiring to pay extra for content is the sad state of vidya
>>487797168>uM yOu DoN'T kNoW bUsInEsS nOrMs DeVeLoPmEnT
>>487797168Maybe he means free DLC like Rugal and Goenitz...

>>487796006>pasta for lunch, bush for dinner
>>487797727orochi iori got that pose like he wants his nintendo switch
>>487797168>>487797516Get over it, people want content pipelines not video games. They want to shout DEAD GAME instead of just playing something that isn't getting DLC
>>487797045>AOF characters besides Ryo/Mr. Karatei feel like this probably could workexcept it already exists and it's called the king of fightersthat being said i still think mr. karate would be a really fun inclusion
yeah just like the millions and millions of people flocked to kofxv because it had a dlc content pipelineall 9k of those millions
>>487797168It's quite reasonable since you won't see another game for like 5 years. These aren't the yearly games that you just pirated as a kid.
>>487796006If it were me, I'd give older Mai one of those short skirt kimonos instead of her usual leotard. She needs to come across as a wiser, trickier ninja. While she'd still have a rockstar physique and still doing her cartwheel elbows, she needs to sell that she's a master ninja by using more ninja tricks - less acrobat, more tactician.
>>487798308>It's quite reasonable since you won't see another game for like 5 years.how about wait until the game is out first before you go wishlisting dlc
>>487796796Andy's favorite foods include natto (Japanese fermented basedbeans) and spaghetti, so Mai decided to put them together.
ENTER SERIOUS
>>487797205You must love the girls from Persona 4.
>>487799154Are they in Hell?
>>487799165rise is cuteC U T E
>>487798741Hell yeah, Kimono Mai is gorgeous.
>>487799417this person has the exact idea in mind for what i think mai should be wearing and how her hair should be, which would change her fighting style someit's like he read my mind
>>487779007Most all the Koreans borrrow at least some piece of Kim's movelist. Kim Jae Hoon was merely the most obvious about it, taking the Hangetsuzan, Hienzan, Hishou Kyaku, and Hou'ou Kyaku - Kim's most signature attacks.
>>487799417It's weird how little alternate costumes 15 has. Athena alone could keep them in business for years.
>>487799165kek I haven't played it yet but now I'm curious.Girls? As in, several of them are bad cooks?
>>487800412Persona 4 is basically just a walking cliffs notes of every bad and annoying anime cliche
>>487794369>like considering the timeskip there's a non-zero chance of him just being an overworked salarymanI almost want this to happen to Yamazaki
>>487679859If you noticed, the Japanese VA work for Billy is incomplete. The rolling kick command normal uses the English voice clip. The intro line also sounds kinda low quality.
>>487799165Chie = YuriYukiko = MaiRise = AthenaNaoto = King
>>487800531like the one time the protag fell onto a woman and accidentally grabbed her boob and she was like "IYAAA YOU PERVERT" and smacked him very hard and all the other girls started calling him an enemy of women and his reputation was ruined
>>487800957holy shit is this the ignition point of /r9k/
https://x.com/GaucheArtist/status/1816693765161062774
>>487800412All but one, IIRC.
Fucking what
>>487801192Rugal's tricks be bussin fr
>>487796006>>487798741>>487799417This 100%. Kimono Mai is the way to go. Sells the older woman/"milf" vibe without having to age her like a hag, and still gives some sex appeal. As much as I like casual Mai, that would be the wrong direction. Go full noble Japanese woman.
>>487801125>delay the game furtherThat's a really bad idea because 2025 is also the year of when GTA 6 comes out and the last thing you want to be is caught up in GTA6's release window because even if the game is looking to be really shitty, there's no competing with that.
>>487801192jet set rugal
>>487800957Is this Persona or Love Hina?
>>487799417>>487801315>>487798741Based and true.
>>487801478
>>487801478Persona is definitely not that perverted.
>>487801415why would you worry about gta6 if you're snkthe game should be delayed anyway because snk's talent is horribly slow and they'd come around their asses to get to their elbows anyday of the week and think it's the shorter distance
>>487801192I see that you're late to the party.
>>487801192>>487802060
>>487801997Because nobody is touching GTA6, ESPECIALLY SNK.There is no competing with GTA period, now that might change years later since GTA itself isn't a sustainable series with its insane budget, crazy attention to detail, licensing costs, marketing costs, and insane development time, but for the time being that is a sales fight that is doomed before it began.
>>487802523you have an oil prince with infinite sowdey monies, how can you lose?!
>>487802523I very much doubt GTA6 is going to fail sales wise, but it will be interesting if it under performs because that would show the brand is declining affecting future games.
>>487803045After the leak, I expect it to pull an RE6 where it'll still be a colossal failure that couldn't make back its budget despite being the best selling game in the series
>muh GTA6Oh no the singleplayerfags will fuck off...Anyways...
>>487803341That will only happen with apathy which is way more damaging that fan backlash. With the latter you've still got the consumer base that will buy and support your game. Apathy is pretty much death.
>>487803680>Oh no the singleplayerfags will fuck off...like snk had those lol *kicks screen*
Play Arina's game.
>>487804920I was just thinking what if KOF did a guest character but it's from a Neo Geo game that wasn't made by SNK. Like when they had Mizoguchi in MIRA. Would you all be okay with that?
>>487807349I'd be down to see a Rage of the Dragons rep or two in a future title. Jeanne from World Heroes was a DLC character in SNK Heroines, so it's not completely out of question in recent times.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dq_jQ095SE4
>>487809432Does that count since I think SNK owns all the ADK series now. We even had World Heroes characters and Kisarah in Neo Geo Battle Coliseum.
One day someone going fix 2002 shit soundfont.
>>487807349Team Rage of the Dragons
>>487809432>I'd be down to see a Rage of the Dragons repyou mean that ip owned by qubyte interactive
>>487810104My hot take is that I actually prefer the 2002 OST than Unlimited Match. There's just something charming about using the limitations of a shit soundfont to make something decent/good. Like how composers tried to make songs during the 8 and 16 bit eras.
>>487810791Man I wish I could just buy up a fighting game IP nobody was using.
PICK OUT YOUH PAHTNAH
>>487811338>Like how composers tried to make songs during the 8 and 16 bit eras.yeah but other composers made some actual good hits with those limitations like tim follinhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gz0fAz9n_Osotoh kof2k2 is just lmao at least it's not 2k1
>>487812002fucking checked
>>487812236Holy kek I didn't notice.
>>487812070I totally agree 2001 is meme tier. In the case of 2002, while the remixes are nowhere as good as their originals, they are still mostly decent. For example, I prefer 2002's Diet than even XV's. And in terms of 2002 original songs, Rugal's theme is pretty badass:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0cYnmIqlac
>>487811338Some new mixes are good like psycho soldier and beauty and beast, albeit soundfont still don't help.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEJz2zsusRE&https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IbbQLkULswOld stuff sound like butt tho.

What is your honest opinion about Nadia and Trevor?
>>487823923I like them. Shame that Trevor's melee attack was kinda slow and Nadia's was bugged, but I liked them both.
>>487823923They're alright.
>>487815232Was that actually intentional?

>>487832480you can do that with normal funds thoor just learn to draw
>>487832480
If you want to try the new release of SvC it's on GoG, so its """free""".
>>487832778Why should I learn to draw if I can pay a cute japanese mangaka girl cosplaying Athena to do it for me while I fuck her in the process?
With Vice and Mature coming December I hope they get their suits from KOF13 as alts as I really liked them. Anyone else agree?
>>487833332>so it's "free"how come?
>>487834049No DRM so you can pirate it easily.
How would Andy react to this?

>>487842276yeah shes virgin too (for me only)
>>487693739Taiwan, IIRC. Having a Taiwan representative will anger the Chinese Communist Party.
>>487833732i agree. I'm a big fan of the sexy secretary outfit
>>487847957Retard country (China) and cuck company. What a combination.
>>487846012You mean for (me).
>>487833732We’ll probably get their XIV costumes as alts
>>487823923Unnecessary. They are decent enough additions but replacing mainstays? Bad decision.
>>487853262>We’ll probably get their XIV costumes as altsI don't like those ones.
>>487794545Duck when?
>>487693739Nah, I believe he was Hong Kong just like Hon Fu. Might need to double check.
>>487854279>Duck when?I was hoping for KOF15 but it looks like we're done after Vice and Mature.
>>487854557Damn shame because XV is the best XI Reunion I could've asked for otherwise. SNK should've saved Oswald instead of wasting him on kusoge
>>487834473
>>487854279Wasn't that design also in some Fatal Fury pachinko game?
