Andy...please kiss Mai.
>>491289469>The Geese Tower fight has been hinted at since SNK Heroines of all games. It was inevitable if FF ever came back they'd have their epic fight in the same place to parallel Terry and Geese's feudOda even confirmed some years back that FF would pretty much be Terry vs Rock as the big finale and Geese Tower is clearly going to be the site for it.
Would a 1990s Fatal Fury saturday morning cartoon a la the Street Fighter show have Geese or Krauser as the main antagonist?
>>491289879Geese Season 1, Krauser Season 2
>>491288982>Exactly. Rock gives more and more into his inner dark urges when he fights. If he keeps fighting, he continues to become taken in by those urges until he just decides he wants to keep whooping people's ass and causing them pain.Shura is not about causing pain, it's about killing for the sake of it because bloodlust has overtaken you. I think Hibiki Takane suffers with the same affliction though in a more subtle way.
>>491289879Both. They would be opposing villains, both with their own designs for South Town, and the Hungry Wolves (Terry, Andy, Joe, Mai, Kim, Big Bear, and Mary) have to constantly fight to protect the city against both threats.
>>491290061
>>491290216BIKI NOYOU NEED A HARDLINE BIKIIIII
>>491290061Pain is part of that. Point is, Rock is going to be consumed by those urges and decide he wants to just start killing people.
Here's a bunch of high quality HD remastered Mai clips from the old anime. Beware they all have sound and some have really quick nipple shots.>files.catbox.moe/x9eqgx.webm (Jubei grope)>files.catbox.moe/x1dtcb.webm (Nippon ichi)>files.catbox.moe/9g1kg5.webm (another Nippon ichi)>files.catbox.moe/xavz5a.webm (shower scene)>files.catbox.moe/hpowvx.webm (Super Deadly Ninja Bees)>files.catbox.moe/rvwy72.webm (Obari being absolutely shameless)Bonus non-Mai:>files.catbox.moe/7twtyg.webm (Screw Upper)>files.catbox.moe/gjt6ij.webm (Raging Storm)
>>491290575>Pain is part of that.No it's not. It's about bloodlust, turning your kills into an art form. It has nothing to do with causing suffering for the thrill of it. If you think Rock is all about suffering then it isn't Shura.
https://x.com/snk_oda/status/1825985528455483614Didn't think too hard about this at first but now I'm worried we aren't actually getting the OG outfit outside of the hidden gear.
>>491289879geese would have a absurdly cartoonish villain voice and laugh in a funny while he does all kinds of funny (but eeeeeevil) shit to keep terry and andy from capturing him and sending him to jail while joe is the goof and we'd see clips of it on theswitcher's fatal fury stupidity montage
>>491291141It's a sign of Mai's progression as heir to Shiranui-ryuu Ninjutsu that she only needs to magical girl transform into her original outfit when she has to get truly serious (i.e. use her Hidden Gear).
>>491289201>I'd rather it not try to humanize Geese, let him stay a bastard.Geese will always be a bastard of Stroheim family>>491289657>villains to have some dumb sob or tragic backstoryAnd Geese doesn't have one already?
you know what they should have that rbs hadi'll let you answer before i tell you what answer i am looking forspoilers i'm not talking about the lane moves
>>491290868Anon if you're focusing on having your killing be part of art, then pain itself is part of that.
>>491290868>then it isn't Shura.shuraly you jest
>>491291817Geese's backstory is thankfully never mentioned.
>>491291696I don't care for the new outfit or any variation of excuse for why I can't access the OG outfit at character select.
>>491292013You are stupid if you think that the two can't be separate from one another.
>>491292407You are the stupid one anon and can't understand what Shura actually is.
>>491289879>>491290025>>491290090Give them a Shredder and Krang thing. Where they're a pair and always bickering about who dad liked best.
>>491292545it's that island where kenshiro goes to meet even tougher fighters and kaioh at the end isn't it
Only one of them can attain the Rock
>>491292401If she's wearing the original outfit, what do you expect her transformation to be when she uses her Hidden Gear? Her FF3/RB1 leotard?

>>491292812hotaru wants to find her brother while jenet is terrysexual.
>>491293403I read this as trannysexual and wanted to say, "No stoopid that's Preecha"
>>491292812>>491293403Hotaru will be busy making friends with Preecha.
>>491293664Why does it look like that...
>>491293664It's just ONE cutscene. You act like that's all Hotaru gets. There's one of her over at Geese Tower too.
>>491293664Preecha also wants a piece of that griffon dick.
>>491293664>>491293963SNK needs to decide if she's a Thai ladyboy or not>>491293882lbr Hotaru is gonna get shafted cause she's just a moe girl that is surrounded by edgy boys that make her wet lmao
>>491294016>lbr Hotaru is gonna get shafted cause she's just a moe girl that is surrounded by edgy boys that make her wet lmaoAll the more reason she gets a cutscene with Rock.
>>491294016I'm pretty sure they outright said Preecha is cisgender female. There were enough Thai ladyboy "Preecha is a man's name" quips the moment she was revealed that they nipped it in the bud pretty quickly.
>>491294179>cisgenderGo back
>>491294112Yeah where he sees her getting rawdogged by her blind brother who doesn't know who he's boning>>491294179It's because nobody cares enough about SNK to raise a stink about it, but also SNK doesn't bait that shit by not having literal men designs like Marisa in their gamesPersonally it's just funny to joke about given the context of Thailand
>>491294179Also, it wouldn't be the first time they gave an opposite gender name to a character.
>>491293882>It's just ONE cutscene. You act like that's all Hotaru gets.wellit IS snk
>>491294408Angel is also exclusively a man's name in Mexico (female equivalent is Angelica/Angela).
>>491294414But this isn't KOFIt's more likely the cutscenes aren't going to be fully animated and just be portrayed as epic comic book stills with major moments getting the animation
>>491294723If Mai's trailer is any indication, that's exactly what they're doing. Cutscenes will be going full comic book.
>>491294723>and just be portrayed as epic comic book stills with major moments getting the animationif only they could get so soulfulit'd feel like mgs portable ops/peacewalker
>>491294414Doesn't mean Hotaru won't get cutscenes with other characters. Preecha might be one of her rivals though.
>>491294921If all the trailers up to this point aren't any indication already, they're definitely pairing off Hotaru and Preecha as new rivals.
>>491294921preecha will "scientifically" analyze her "chi"it all starts with a sensual shoulder rub
>>491294886It was the same style as the Terry vs Rock cutscene over in Geese Tower. So yeah. Seems CotW's cutscenes are gonna be in the comic book style.
>>491294179>cisgender femaleJust say real woman.
>>491289879
>>491295062>Hotaru gets uncomfortable Preecha's in the same changing room as her
>>491295030>>491295062Hotaru being leading lady of the MotW gen isn't a meme anymore when not only is she the first chick revealed but she's also rivals with one of the new characters.
>>491295204Just trying to be as absolute as possible to nip all the "female (male)" jokes. Heaven knows people aren't going to let SNK get away with another "Joe gets wrapped up with a trans person" joke like they did through the entire Ash Saga.
>>491295642This joke is why the Preecha shitposting made me giggle so much
>>491295207I imagine Iori would work for the villains in this like how the Street Fighter cartoon had Zangief working for Shadaloo and the Darkstalkers cartoon had Morrigan working for Pyron.
>>491295220>preecha randomly gropes hotaru while she's undressing and tries to play it off as platonic skinship
>>491295920that pretty much would be the case. shit would make me laugh.
>>491296278So, you're saying Preecha is Katsuragi.
Blue Mary being DLC hurts.
>>491296791It'll only be for the first year of the game. After that, everyone who gets the game will get the day 1 and season 1 characters automatically.
i hope they buff kain for city of the wolves
>>491293191I went old school and got it from their IRC channel. Don't know where else you could find it.
Mark your calendars
>>491299997It all began in 94...
>>491300290Kept on rolling in 95
>>491300364Pieces were placed in '96.
>>491296634except not as cute and not as rapeable by ayame
>>491299997So what will happen in the 30th? Just some new Kyo art and a Twitter post?
>>491299997for the 30th anniversary they will....have a twitter post!!! yay!!!
>>491301298Apparently a big announcement with sparkles.
>>491299997>Three more days until 30th anniversary of KOFSeason 3 confirmed.
cool
>>491301632After Vice and Mature were their """"Special"""" announcement, I wouldn't expect anything actually big.
>>491300584 And came to an end in '97,
>>491299997>>491301298>>491301348>>491301632KOF would've probably got a more special anniversary celebration if they stopped fucking it up and it actually made money. Been 15 years since XII and the franchise hasn't progressed much
>>491302190>>49130163294 rebout online edition
>>491302271Now it comes, and here we go, KOF is here again.
>>491302590Nothing's gonna stop it's nineteen ninety eight.
>>491302430>KOF would've probably got a more special anniversary celebration if they stopped fucking it up and it actually made money.i been saying that all along but you knowlikei'm just totes angry that sylvie's not in the game (?) oh waiti'm just mad that, uh, i'm a secret agent for the capcom arcsys illuminatiyeah
>>491303648Mostly cause you're an idiot about it asking for arbitrary shit. I just don't think KOF is the franchise seller it used to be because it lost its way and most of the "attempts" at grabbing people's attention is the same shit that bad gachas fall for. Trying to be its own thing was completely fucking unnecessary
>>491304045nah it's totes because i'm a secret capcom/arcsys agentyou should stop using drugs because it causes all those weird halo generations you keep seeing
>>491301632Probably a compilation re-release. Not exciting news for anyone who knows about Fightcade. But it could be a good way to funnel in casuals and newcomers who might be interested in the series past.>>491304660>i'm a secret capcom/arcsys agentIt'd be respectable if you actually were affiliated with another company, at least then you can actually say you did something with purpose in your life the moment you close out of this thread.
>>491305195instead i'm doing something much more respectablier which is being a SECRET capcom/arcsys agentshhhh
Shatter all expectations by porting the Neo Geo 64 titles and season 3 for xv
>>491305596and 2003 and xi with rollback
>>491306001do people really care about 2003 since 11 is pretty much better in every way, regardless i would love a port of kof 11 and maximum impact regulation a
>>491305596>by porting the Neo Geo 64 titlesNone of them are KoF games, but that would be awesome.>>491306001Atomiswave games collection (with added console content), as well as Code Mystics upgrading their KOF 2003 port would be awesome too.
>>491306295XI is a better game, but I might slightly prefer 2003 roster. Slightly. Especially without NGBC backports.
>>491306295>do people really care about 20032003 is in a weird spot. It is one of the worst games, but no one ever talks about it because they just hate 2001 more
>>491306001Is it true they lost the KOF XI source code? Or was that only true for the PS2 port with Mai and others?
>>491306768>2003 is in a weird spot. It is one of the worst gamesRude.
>>491301632The announcement is literally the anniversary. It's weird how you people "hype" everything
>>491306768>one of the worst gamesthat is neog coliseum
>>491295207>that Bryan
>>491301632Where's KYO??? SNK???THE KING OF FIGHTERS???
>>491306768>It is one of the worst gamesI don't know that I'd go that far. I'd say it's mostly just kind of....middling. Plus there's just kind of an overall drab tone to it that I don't think I much like. And I still refuse to believe that people actually WANTED Ash back.
>>491306768>>491310359SNK heroines is one of the worst games, unless you're one of the retards who can only think with his dick
>>491314632and it barely has anything remarkable at that, with like only a very few that have a bikini costume and shermie's not one of themwhat a dealbreaker

Prepare to be gravely disappointed like SamSho's 30th anniversary
>>491319875Can't be because I expect nothing
>>491315647https://youtube.com/watch?v=EXRng3vCyiENever forget
>>491319875>samurai shodown sen with rollback
>>491319860why kyo never caught on as much as terry? he seemed to be everywhere in the early 2000s.
>>491290709a reminder in .webm format to berate as venomously as you can the "people" that tell you that "things didn't get worse" and "it's you who got old and jaded"
>>491321312I guess the cocky school punk think wasn't as timeless as the more blue collar chill dude. Plus, Terry actually did evolve as a character. Kyo, much like K' has just been kind of a floater after his arc ended. He's there out of obligation but he's not someone who likes fighting the way Terry or Ryo does so it feels a bit more forced.
>>491321559Kyo's character basically capped completely by 2003. He had some development into a more edgy character in 99/2000, but it reverted in 01 and in the Ash Saga he literally had no reason to be there other than Ash was stealing the Sacred Treasures. Most games though have Kyo entering the tournament against his will with the only exception being XIV (since XV was Sacred Treasures duty)However Fatal Fury actually emphasizes and focuses on story so Terry got to naturally evolve into a more worldly character than Kyo. It doesn't help that Kyo has remained eternally 19 because of KOF's stupid floating timeline nonsense. If he was in his mid-20s by XV, it wouldn't make a damn difference
you people are coping, if kyo had no development then terry has had even less other than that one time they tried to kill him in 99
>>491321312Kyo is in too, so is mai and kula
>>491323079forgot to link ithttps://youtu.be/ylpqeDtxzpgcame out of left field but I'm all for it.
>>491322978Nobody's talking about KOF Terry retard, KOF doesn't advance the Fatal Fury story at all so it wouldn't advance pop characters like Terry, Mai, Ryo or Duck KingTerry's had more development between FF1-Garou than Kyo's had in 15 KOFs. The only shift in his personality and story that was any significant was 99 because his story was over and he stopped being the protagonist before he became roster filler
>>491314632>>491314962Cum game good it takes skill even with simplified controls when you are playing with one hand.
>>491322661Yeah Terry just kind of has a different vibe to him. It feels like all the fights have really wisened him up some. He's a loner but he's not anti social. He has his friends and family and he likes being around people. He's more easy going and relaxed but still dedicated to fighting completely. In a way he's almost like Ryu but more personable. There's a bit more life to him beyond just fighting. And I think a lot of it might have to do with the fact that as much as any character South Town itself is a character in Fatal Fury/AoF. You get a sense of all the locations, all the hang outs. Characters feel like they're moving in a city rather than themed stages. So FF feels more lively.
>>491323170>Gacha shitAlso that animation is horrid.
>>491323235>KOF Terry retardahhh yes, fatal fury terry, the one who hasn't had a game for more than two decades and all you people are doing is just inferring things from trailersvery smart, anonSO MUCH development
>>491323550There is no gacha involved with anything collab
>>491323418>Cum game goodIt's shit both from a gameplay aspect and a coomer aspect, retarded hipster
>>491323550Considering endings in xv weren't even animated this was a treat for me to see.I hope Garou doesn't cheap out on endings too.
>>491323449It's why I grill the fuck out of Fatal Fury 2 because it's such a mess of a "sequel" that really killed the vibe of what FF1 was going for and even if FF3 wasn't the game it should've been, I'm still glad it went back to trying to do what make FF1 worked before they actually went back to what made FF1 work. Keeping the stakes low let the story naturally flourish and not go in insane retard directions like other fighters have in the last 30 years. Maybe CotW will have some stupid shit demon God monster but it's pretty unlikely when SNK has made a unique stage for every character all be a major part of what makes South Town so special. They've really revived that Americana vibe and it feels untouched by the soulless grasp of modern culture. Necessary nostalgia that feels earned and not phoned in for the sake of shitting out new content into a dying pop culture
>>491323235>Terry's had more development between FF1-GarouAnd that would be....?Other than Terry taking Rock in, the game is even more devoid of development than KOF, don't kid yourselfPeople just "think" he has more development because the non canon OVAs existThe real answer as for why Terry is more popular than Kyo isn't character development, it's because he's charismatic and has a design that stands out more than Kyo's
>>491323956>Other than Terry taking Rock inHow is that not enough? I don't think you understand how big a deal that is development wise.
>>491323956Kyo's design stood out for the era but he was also made for the era. Dude was manufactured cool and I like him a lot but after his brooding arc in NESTS he really hasn't done anything outside of win a few KOF tournaments. The most development he's gotten since 99 is going home to YukiAnyway that's heavily undermining what Terry even fucking is. He gets his revenge, isn't satisfied with it and tries to get even with Geese instead only for Geese to an hero and completely negate Terry of his ability to ever understand Geese. Terry tries to save his arch nemesis from falling in Real Bout which is nothing Kyo's ever come close to doing since all Kyo does is snark about how easy fighting is and kill bad guys if the plot demands him toI like both for different reasons like I like both Fatal Fury and KOF for different reasons, but like both I think they represent just a change in times. Kyo, like KOF, have gotten stale from being unchanging for 2 decades and Terry makes a stronger comeback because absence makes the heart grow fonder. I'm sure people will get tired of Terry too if his face is on everything without sharing the wealth with other characters
>>491323956Terry chilled out post FF1 and started being more amicable, same for Andy who was said to be even more anti-social and violent. By FF3, we see Terry basically has friends and connections in South Town and he has enough empathy at this point to take in Rock and help the Jins recover.I'm not saying Terry got lots of development but from 1991-1995, he had more development as a character than Kyo ever had in nearly 30 years. Kyo at most had a brief phase of being sullen during NESTS and his cockiness fading away before returning by Ash Saga.
>>491324318>Dude was manufactured coolHe's better than K' in any case
>>491324041>>491324318>>491324390I think Kyo had his own development too thoughHe Saisyu "dies" in 94 (except not really) and he beats the hell out of Rugal, then he has to fight Saisyu and Rugal in 95, gets his ass kicked by Goenitz so hard that he had to learn a new movelist in 96, that's pretty cool lore, he gets dragged down by the dumb tsundere rivalry with Iori but Iori is also one to blame for all that, Chizuru helps to mitigate that, he also slowly starts to accept Shingo (He even entrusts Chizuru to him in XIII), not just that but he also gets some development and is more mature and less hot headed in 99 when he is solo and is dealing with the clones, after that then yeah he takes a back seat because of the revolving door protagonists (just like everybody else, really, like Ash isn't doing much in XV, he's just there pretending to be stupid)Terry's original design is bright and loud and starting to be very iconic, the silhouette and colors help a lot too, meanwhile Kyo is pretty dull, even after he switches costumes here and there, I think people like NESTS Kyo more because it's less boring and has the shirt with the cross and he loses the headband so it stands out more (...And they JUST had to give that back to him in XV)Maybe if SNK kept the Syo Kirishima design....
>>491324664K' is unironically closer to the same mold that the other 90s SNK protag were made from than Kyo was. His problem was that his storyline and personality were completely derailed as early as 2001 thanks to a myriad of irl factors. Even in 99-00 there is something resembling an arc from him being despondent and self-absorbed with his own issues to reuniting with Whip and pushing forward now that he knows he isn't alone.Ironically, I think Ash Crimson was the one protagonist who was the best executed out of the three, even if I don't really care for him.
what is it with third worlders demanding free vidya, like go get a job
I think it also boils down to a matter of scale. Terry is for all accounts a very straight forward simple character. But he's also in a more straight forward simple story. Fatal Fury is ultimately just an action movie plot about a karate man beating up the bad guy who killed his dad. Kyo meanwhile got a whole saga about being part of a destined bloodline meant to challenge a centuries old god and it's cult of worshipers and to his credit he does his job fine but it's a lot of back story to take in and there's more characters to juggle with it when you factor in Iori, the 8 heads, Rugal, Goenitz, Leona etc.
>>491325080>>491325135
>>491325154Fatal Fury is just a martial arts flick/manga series. Orochi saga is an urban-fantasy in the vein of YYH. Then NESTS comes and it feels like a drug trip of Akira, Matrix and Aaliyah music videos thrown into a perfectly series.And I hate it. I hate NESTS.>>491324968K' has no character beyond being "despondent" and his arc is a even lamer revenge quest.
>>491325424NESTS is more closer to gritty tokusatsu and has more popular anime references such as the whole Whip-K' subplot being a reversal of the Sayla-Char subplot in Gundam 0079. K-Dash, Maxima and McKhronen are named after characters from a VOTOMS novel.
>>491325424>K' has no character beyond being "despondent"Amen, but that was "cool" in that era (see Cloud and Squall)
>>491325424>K' has no character beyond being "despondent"Early NESTS era K' was less despondent and more withdrawn. He wouldn't be interested in anything unless it involved something he wanted/needed. He wanted to know who he was and felt that he was the only one suffering. It was only until Seirah approached him and Maxima that he shakes off all those inner doubts and becomes driven. K' is really just your average angsty teenage boy. Of course, 2001 onwards completely forget this and turn him into a generic "rude but nice inside uwu", and even later games decide to forget the "finding my missing memories" plotline. A lot of this nuance is also missing to non-japanese audiences since character-specific victory quotes were cut and other stuff like dramas etc was never translated.
>>491325080Arguably wrong.Terry and Mai have never been this popular since the 90s.Even more.
>>491324664K' should've chilled out after the NESTs arc but never did for some reason. He had every reason to be an edgelord during that arc though.If anything he should be trying to help other NEST survivors like Sylvie, oh well
>>491327339Like I'm not saying he needs to be friendly rainbow puppy dog man but you know, at least a bit more relaxed than the constant "Tch" bs.
>>491325135Regional pricing for some games is kinda fucked to where it's 3x-10x the price of a normal game
King is pure SEXO, I guess Ryo is also gay.
Ryo makes Ryu look like Lee Chaolan
>>491331452Or maybe Kasumi won.
>>491331592>>491331452If they ever decide to have Ryo canonically get married, even if it's to a minor random woman, then SNK will have to contend with an army of seething yumejos.
>>491301632>>491299997the fuck is this retarded fat faggot's problem?
>>491331704He's painfully unfunny and never got over the fact that people in Shoryuken forums used to just ignore him whenever he cracked jokes and found other posters funny.>>491331452King should be 51 here.Captcha: NTR4
Ryo is only for fighting. FIGHTING.
>>491331452Isn't the attraction to Ryo a KOF only thing? In AOF they're just on merely good terms
>>491331592I want to date Kasumi but she likes scary movies and I am very squeamish.
>Realizing the AOF cast should be pushing 70 in 2024>Takuma probably died a decade ago
>>491331985I mean Art of Fighting never really got the same time to develop stuff that Fatal Fury did. A single game after King was playable they did an almost complete roster change for AoF3 and even in her ending for 2 King was focused more on her little brother than anything else so it's not really too developed the way Rob and Yuri were.
the new art of fighting will feature a retirement home stage
>>491332249Takuma is going to be the master who lives to 100+
>>491332357Robert Garcia got arrested for financial fraud during the financial crash of 2008
>>491332314KOF98 was the first time an attraction to Ryo was ever brought up in King's characterisation. It probably might have been the AOF team's plan for the Ryuuko 3 set in Japan they wanted to make circa 1997.
>>491331704Clayton was right>>491331863It almost seems like he ragebaits as if he had a blue checkmark and profited from the engagement but he doesn't even do that
>>491331704isn't this guy too retarded to understand numpad notation?
>>491332942I still remember when he tried to grow Maxima style sideburns and got locked by his own streamers for looking like a pedophile despite insisting he was handsome.
>>491332657Yeah, it'd be nice if we got one or two more AoF games to sort of develop everyone a bit more. As it stands a lot of the personality for them does come from KoF compare to FF being a bit more established. Also AoF3 is a terrific game and it deserves more love and consideration. I will die on this hill.
what does the symbol in a blue pentagon with two white exclamation points mean?
>>491332942He pissed off that one Japanese account that analyses sprite changes across the Neo Geo era games to the point the JP account tweeted a rant about him and several other Japanese SNK fan accounts followed suit. Nobody likes him.>>491333064He's Canadian, that style of sideburns are actually common there. Difference is, Maxima is lying about being from Canada according to some info SNK released circa KOF2000 which checks out. No Canadian could ever be as cool and good looking as Maxima. >>491333159I love its aesthetics and its soundtrack but at that point, even SNK knew there wasn't much to get from AOF without completely changing things up.
>>491333382>even SNK knew there wasn't much to get from AOF without completely changing things up.I don't think I agree but I will grant that by the time it came out they already had quite a few franchises they felt were more tenable. Which I feel like is a shame.
>>491333238forgot to add in kof 15. doing yuri's trials and theres that a symbol next to light punch and medium punch
>>491333568means it's an air throw
What the fuck are they gonna do for 8 months?
>>491333565The main problem with AOF is that they failed to distinguish it from Fatal Fury from a casual/first glance viewpoint. They're both set in similar locales with similar character types. Obviously if you play the games you can tell AOF is a more dramatic series with a focus on martial arts while FF is slightly more light-hearted. I also think it didn't help that not a lot of AOF's characters were as conceptually strong as FF's, which I'll confess is more because of lack of games to develop them.I think the most damming part is that Kasumi was already set to appear in KOF96 alongside AOF3, as if they just wrote off that game. I wish we got a tell-all or something about the 1996-2000 period of SNK, because we don't know as much of the development process of those games as we do the ones before or after.
>>491333382>He pissed off that one Japanese account that analyses sprite changes across the Neo Geo era games to the point the JP account tweeted a rant about him and several other Japanese SNK fan accounts followed suit. Nobody likes him.what he do exactly?
who plays art of fighting?
>>491334036Be annoying, spout misinfo and be rude to other accounts.
>>491333873Yeah. Not to mention the Street Fighter 2 comparisons for a lot of fighting games probably did it no favors. Fatal Fury had a pseudo 3D thing going on with it's lane switching so it was a lot more distinct from Capcom's headliner and while I don't think AoF and SF are completely similar it is easy to see how the casual observer might make the assumption sprite scaling or no. >>491334315Me. I do. Hello, sir.
>>491334330sounds like a canadian alright
>>491332314>everyone waiting for Mr Karate in COTW>Oda adds adult Jan with King+Ryo moves instead
>>491331452must not be temped by french women…..
>>491334715Now I want to see Ryo go full Gomez any time she speaks French
>>491334357I think the main problem with AOF is that AOF3 flopped at a vital time for SNK when they were shifting the method with how they were handling fighting games. Fatal Fury ended its story and they were content making dream matches to ad back FFS icons, KOF hit it big with 96, they made Samsho 4 as a damage control game for 3 before deciding to retire the series from being a 2d fighting to be it's flagship face for the HNG64. I think they decided to cut their losses with AOF and realized that out of all their main 4 fighting games, its existence was the least justified.
>>491331863>51How?
>>491339037King was born in 1957. AOF1-3 takes place in 1978-1980. Garou 2 should take place in 2008. Ryo and Robert should also be 51, probably 50 if August hasn't passed yet since Rock being 19 means Garou 2 has to take place after June 2008.
>>491323956You completely missed the point of RB and MOTW if you think Terry has no development
>>491339456Shouldn't KOFXV also take place in 2007 too if they were still using years.
>>491325080>literal who tweet is with zero likes and replies from a literal whoStop posting your own garbage here.
>>491339593Nice lack of reading comprehensionYou missed the point of KOF95, 96, 97 and 99 if you think Kyo has no development
>>491339740Doesn't Ash's reset mean Ash Saga never happened so it should be 2004 now instead?
>>491332314What's ironic is I think the OVA pairs her with Robert. Then again the OVA isn't the most faithful like how they changed Ryo's hair color. Also, I think Terry and Mary being love interests is more developed in KOF than in Fatal Fury as well.
>>491340183>Other than Terry taking Rock in, the game is even more devoid of development than KOF, don't kid yourselfWhat exactly am I missing retard?Also I didn't say anything about Kyo. Believe it or not there are multiple people replying in the thread at the same time.
>>491343452SNK had very little oversight with that OVA because that worked well for them with the Obari OVAs but we know how the AOF one came out.>Also, I think Terry and Mary being love interests is more developed in KOF than in Fatal Fury as well.Funny thing about that one is that originally, that was entirely a localisation thing. Mary and Terry having some level of romantic interest was something only in the translated versions of the FF games. It's thought that this and Andy becoming in touch with his dark side was something influenced by the translator SNK had around back then.It started being something officially teased with RB2 and KOF2000 onwards though. In FF, they're just said to be "drinking buddies" with them having a lot of mutual respect for one another. FF's story ended in Real Bout, so back then Mary was just an random investigator rather than part of the in group everyone sees her as part of now.
>>491343680>What exactly am I missing retard?probably a comma, that or you're very honest
B. Tranet
>>491345925jaw sharp enough that it can be used as a can opener
>>491335759AOF3 wasn't even AOF3 in Japan. It was a sidestory.With Fatal Fury no one was content with making Dream Matches, it's just they didn't have enough dev time with RBFF2, which should be obvious as it's not a full package like RBFFS. In fact, they made a new story with Dominated Mind.
>>491325135and this is the nation that is supposedly saving snk everytime they release a new game like the 9k edition of kof
The motorcycle at the Gamescom demo is similar to Mary's but the colors seem inverted.
>>491344358Yeah, though I guess it's not looked at as fondly since I don't think I've ever seen references compared to the Fatal Fury OVAs.
>>491351469>it's just they didn't have enough dev time with RBFF2Source
>>491352621The Art of Fighting OVA is collectively acknowledged to be a trainwreck.
>>491351930
>>491351469>>491352691Seconding this. Interviews and even the tagline for the first Real Bout was all about bringing Terry and Geese's story to an end with the next major character coming to take their place after. We only know that RB2 was made in 4 months.
>>491340343Isn't KOF pretty much stuck in time because of the multiple IPs there?
>>491345925Morgan Webb
KOF2000 homepage:https://neogeo.freeplaytech.com/kof00/toppage/00_index.htm
>>491361809Really surprised SNK kept their old site (even English one) around. Great find anon.
>>491363661It's too bad they didn't keep up the page that said "NEOGEO POCKET IS SO FUN, 'SOME PEOPLE PLAY WITHOUT THE SOFTWARE GAMES'"
>>491364185Even so, I still gotta give props for SNK of all companies to archive at least some of their legacy. Especially when most videogame companies don't. Aside from SNK, only one I can think of is Nintendo:https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n02/shvc/index.html
>>491299997>4 out of 7 characters weren't even in 94
>>49130163294 RE-bout released on Steam
>>491365489it would be the most excellent way to celebrate kof's 30th by kicking people in the teeth
>>491340343I don't think there was a time reset. The KOF tournaments from 2003-XIII still happened except Ash wasn't there anymore.
>>491365489It's going to be a smartphone wallpaper
>>491361809Interesting looking Athena
>>491366587looks like she stole ring toss from sonya blade
>Ramon is 25 while Vanessa is 30Wow. I thought Ramon was older. At least more than Vanessa.
>>491368226Part of Vanessa's gimmick is being the oldest lady in KOF (at 30).
>>491361809>fanartists all the way from korea, milan and damascus>development diary giving random stuff from reproducing meds instructions to saying a "certain character" from 99 wouldn't return for bad publicity reasons (Xiangfei)>They took photos of themselves striking poses the characters would as reference material for fabrics>99 page shows they had a tailor make irl replicas of K' and Maxima's jackets>"shotacon team" is K', Kensou, Shingo and Bao>>491368520They changed her to 29 in some games, they apparently wanted her to be Seth's age at first, and the 99EVO bio for her does say she's 40. SNK kept flipflopping on Maxima's age from 26 to 29 before finally settling on 29 by KOF2002.
>>491370287They wanted them to be older but still "marketable". 29 is pretty much the oldest you can do that for a character in Japan at the time. Nowadays, they definitely could get away with 30-40+ yro "good-looking" characters for better or for worse.
>>491333565I love how this basic bread and butter combo became a rekka (renzokugeri) in KOF99.
>>491352978Haoushoukouken wo tsukawazu wo enai
>>491370287>for bad publicity reasons (Xiangfei)
>>491373037SNK forced Xiangfei hard during 1998-1999. She had RB2, 1st Contact, Wild Ambition and then beat Rick by a landslide in an internal vote to get to KOF99 plus she was on the cover of almost every Neo Geo Freak magazine in those years.Despite that, the fans didn't give a shit about and a few even despised her, Akane who was also being pushed had more success as a quirky girl mascot.
>>491317187But his one true love isn't blonde.
>>491373267bad publicity implies there was something controversial, this is a nothingburger as a lot of characters fly under the radar of interest when it comes to snk characterswas expecting something like "this character offended the chinks"
>>491370287>>491373267Is there actual proof of Xiangfei receiving backlash?
>>491373459SNK was in touch with their fans at the time, they even started promoting R-18 doujinshi by 1999. I think they realized they were promoting a character that people got sick of seeing and just made Hinako to offset both Xiangfei and 2000's gloomy atmosphere.
>>491373546that's the thing, i can't even remember anyone giving a shit about her enough to say anythinglike at least vanessa got attention when she was a bonus striker in a home port of 99 for like dc or whatever (if you could even find a copy or else you had to order online)
>>491373546I want to check the magazine since they had a monthly character popularity poll. She's such a pointless nothingburger I can believe people would get tired of her but not get vocal about it.
>>491361809>Yuri>country: JapanWRONG! She's American!
>>491373445Fixed in KOF Destiny :^)
>>491374261Maybe she was born in Japan.
>>491376243She is. They moved to the US when she was 1, unlike Ryo though, Yuri cannot speak Japanese at all beyond scant phrases and she apparently is speaking complete gibberish whenever she tries to sing Fuyumi Sakamoto (her favorite artist) songs.
If they have KOF character come over, who would you want?For me, it would be Athena A or Antonov.
>>491377084Chang, Choi or Vanessa imo. Mostly because they're tangentially related to Kim and Mary enough I think they'd be justifiable cameos at the very least. Playstyle wise probably her Fatal Fury lacks a sumo
>>491377084Nobody but if I had to choose then it'd have to be someone associated with existing Fatal Fury characters so Jhun I guess
>>491377084Probably Beni or the Ikaris, especially since Kain wants to install martial law and make Second South autonomous. I remember anons here suggesting that Kain in KOF would end up that way.
>>491377084Gang Il, Ramon or Puta
>>491377084Somebody like Kyo and K' but aged within the timeline of FF just for shits and giggles.Imagine a 32 year old Kyo or a K' in his mid 20s.
>>491378120>K' in his mid 20s.Would K' have white facial hair and pubes?
>>491378120Would Shun conversely be a shota as COTW is stuck in 2008 or so?
>>491379346Depends if we use the "KOF takes place the year the game is released" or "KOF is each successive year from 1994 with gaps for dream matches". Using the former, Shun'ei is a 8 year old, and using the latter Shun'ei is the exact same as he appeared in XIV-XV. Ash would be 21 in 2008.
>>491378421
>>491378120(even more) washed up rock star Iori
>>491377084Shingo, K', Jhun, May Lee, Adelheid, Shun, Hein, AlbaAny of those.
>>491380848Iori is a Fatal Fury character already.Unless it's a XII-XIII Iori, which might be fitting.Also remove Freeman from the game.
>>491381339>Iori is a Fatal Fury character alreadyWhut
>>491381861Gameboy version of RBS
>>491381861https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUZoCdA8cnQ
I wish they took the time to make lane system work....
>>491383098It was at its best in Real Bout 2. I'm okay with them sticking to full 2D since Garou already gave up on lanes, but I really feel like if they wanted FF to be separate from KOFXV they could've gone for a Maximum Impact spiritual successor. But that kind of 3D development is likely too much for SNK right now
I just realized it's been over a decade since Terry had Triple Geyser in KOF. Not counting Trinity Geyser in XIII.
Would it be possible for one to backport White and his stage to RB2 or Special?
They are obviously going to play it safe for release and have all the most popular characters out first. Like no way Gato, Andy or Kain are SS1. With that said:>Base:1-Rock2-Terry3-Mai4-Hotaru5-B.Jenet6-Marco7-Kevin8-Billy Kane9-Kain10-Vox Reaper11-Hokutomaru12-Andy13-Preecha14-Joe15-Gato16-Tizoc17-Either Freeman/New CharactersFrom there, they can start to add less popular characters.SS1:Since I have heard the first two DLC character release at the same time:-18: Kim Jae Hoon-19: Kim Dong HawnThen in any order.-?: Freeman if not in base game/Yamazaki-?: Sokaku/Richard/Duck King-22: Blue Mary to cap off the Season Pass

>>491389621>Sokaku or RichardNightmare Geese has a higher chance of coming back. Freeman can go either or, I feel like them not showing him off might indicate that he's getting deprioritized. The only thing you're forgetting is Gato's Father, who can either be base or DLC without question. This also assumes there's an unplayable/playable final boss that isn't Geese. There's no real room for both Yamazaki/Mary if they want to focus on the MotW gen thoughBut this is more or less exactly what I theorized though. Since there's 3 characters left for base roster it's most likely going to be Andy, Joe and another newcomer of some kind
>>491389621>SokakuI thought he had no fans?>RichardWho in their right mind would want him over Bob? That also goes against the new gen theme MOTW & COTW set up.
>>491310359Wrong. Also that's not KOF.
>>491391384Bob got BACKGROUNDED though. And Richard is handsomer (no homo)
>>491392006That was hella homo bro.
>>491392006Richard's gonna be in his late 40s by the time of CotW while Bob is Terry's age. There's less reason to expect Richard over Bob even if I also prefer RichardIt's more likely that a new Capoeira practitioner would be introduced
>>491392260I feel like if Bob is gonna have student it's gonna be in a future game, not this one.
>>491391258I thought of something too. Samurai Shodown was also a title that made a big return after a long absence, but this didn't keep them from including Shiki from 64 and Iroha.So maybe that wrestler chick from Wild Ambition got a chance, just like Rick Strowd.
>>491392483If there is a future Fatal Fury, I feel like the reason they're going all out with this one is that it's going to be a complete one-and-done>>491392554The difference there is that SamSho 2019 is a franchise prequel that takes place between 5 and 1. This is a sequel that takes place at least 10 years after Real Bout 2 and at most 17 years after FF1/Wild Ambition
>>491392827>This is a sequel that takes place at least 10 years after Real Bout 2 and at most 17 years after FF1/Wild AmbitionI am 100% positive we will get Ryo one day (as a paid DLC of course), even if he is middle aged according to the timeline. So I think its fine for Strowd and Tsugumi to get in.
>>491393236Ryo is a different case since he's the protagonist of another series and would just be around the exact same age as his father. Strowd would be around the same age as Terry, he's not an impossibility. Tsugumi is just not likely at all because nobody's really asking for Fatal Fury Asuka as much as they're asking for Mary, Alice or even XiangfeiCotW already beat RB2 for most female characters in a Fatal Fury game at 4

>>491395003Aaaand now my autocorrect just outed me as a hue.
>According to wiki, Yuri would be 47 by COTWChristmas cake Yuri.
>>491385846You'd have to make a vs mugshot and lane sprites for him, make a Neo Geo version of his theme and then debate if you'd keep in that cheap automatic OHKO attack he does when he's beaten
>>491400194Christmas cake is Mai. Yuri is granny.
The artstyle for COTW is inspired by Shinkiro, right. I have a feeling it looked familiar...
>>491401439No. Pop art. A game based off Shinkiro's RBS-KOF2000 era art would be great. Wish he stayed on to complete the NESTS games.
What is the button layout for Samsho on stick/leverless?
>>491401439Shinkiro's only ever drawn Rock and Kain, hasn't he?
Fatal Fury: The Motion Picture - The Video Game when?
>>491392827>>491395003Exactly my concern with COTW. Other than what Geese's legacy is, whether Marie Heinlein is still alive, and possible romances (Andy x Mai and Joe x Lilly Kane), I doubt the following can also be solved in one game:1. Everything with Gato, Hotaru, and their father.2. Who the "Gym Buster" that attacked the Kyokugen Dojo in Rodrigues' MOTW ending is.3. Resolving Kevin's rivalry with Freedom.
>>491402261No, just Rock for CvS2. 1999 was when they wanted to break away from having Shinkiro draw everything they made. You had Tonko, Ogura, Hiroaki coming to the forefront. >>491402784The gym buster is implied to be Yamazaki since it's said he hates disciplined martial arts and has a habit of rampaging in gyms and dojos.
>>491402784>1. Everything with Gato, Hotaru, and their father.Add his father to the roster and a conclusive ending in Episodes of South Town>2. Who the "Gym Buster" that attacked the Kyokugen Dojo in Rodrigues' MOTW ending is.This is a mystery for now>3. Resolving Kevin's rivalry with FreemanI'm unsure what to do for this one either because either you include Freeman on the roster just to kill him off or have him arrested so he can bust out of prison in-case he's popular enough to bring backThis isn't KOF, there isn't like 40 dropped plot threads due to differing writers. Not every plot needs to be in the forefront like Rock's because he's the main character, but this isn't a concern as long as there's a conclusive ending TO these characters in Episodes of South Town. Other fighters have the same issue because they keep dropping characters like flies to just bring back the popular ones, but SNK brought back all of these characters. They have no reason to not finish up these threads in CotW

>>491409560Yes. They released it in the state it was to get extra money to fund the rest of the characters needed for the Ash Saga finale, and even then the final roster was not all the characters they wanted.
>>491409997I'm surprised it even sold well enough to finance anything.
>>491410134It didn't lmao. That's why KOFXIII is barely finished either. They got the extra shit in but had to make a lot of compromises and that's how you end up with a roster that has 4 headswaps and DLC that are just EX versions of base game characters
>>491407664>shitty HUE fighting game
>>491409737Hardware problem directly ties into sprite rotoscoping, the means of doing so are likely unviable especially with what they have.
>>491407664yeah pretty sure they don't mean gameboy resolution games
>>491409737Because their sprites are meant for CRT. You can't make them look that good or detailed with today's screens and resolution unless it's something like XII and XIII, and that's was much fucking work to run in 720p, imagine 1080/4k. It would probably kill Saudi Arabia.
>>491410134At point, one wonders why they didn't hold out on the NG sprites one more time to end the saga and then use all of them+the NGBC FF+AOF+MOTW cast for a ultimate send off of a dream match
This is new and looks really cool. Also new cute Samsho girl.
DON'T OPEN
>>49141013411 was 150k sales12 sold 270k across all platforms13 sold 360k across all platformsMaximum Impact sold more than all 3 believe it or not.
>>491411218They should've done that by 2003 and not jumpstarted the Ash Saga instead of immediately diving into more KOF given they already wrapped up NESTS and JUST got the IP and company back. Neo Geo was 10 years old by that point, doing KOF2003 was unnecessary
>>491411521>Maximum Impact sold more than all 3 believe it or not.Wrong. It only sold around the same numbers as 12, but at the time that was considered a smash hit by SNK Playmore standards.>>491411623This.
>>491411512This should be Terry in the next SNK Heroines.
>>491411716Looking at it, KOF games on average did 4-8k sales prior to XII
>>491410842>You can't make them look that good or detailed with today's screens and resolution unless it's something like XII and XIIIRebout looks pretty good though.
>>491411503This one is old but just reposting since I saw on /v/. I hope they have some gameplay for this game next year
>>491411521>XIV was 370k salesAnyone know how much Samsho 2019 and XV have made so far? Seems SNK may want to build up to half a million sales with COTW.
>>491412014damn, kofxv really did outsell them with its 9k
>>491412618SamSho apparently made a profit on preorders alone so that game was an immediate success. Especially notable it's the only SNK game to have more than 2 seasons of DLC, which I think a lot of people take for granted cause every major fighter does 3-4 seasonsThey haven't said shit about XV. Been completely in the dark the whole +2 years it's been out
>>491402748Never ever faget
>>491410842>It would probably kill Saudi ArabiaNo, it won't. Not even a scratch. Besides, they can use AI to help them (and they will use it for Metal Slug for sure). There is no excuse for not making any pixel games today. Oda is just expressing himself poorly with words, again
>>491405854>Seems like they're actually not making or porting anything for KOF's 30th anniversary? Apparently they're too busy making other games and the anniversary will be handled by... the marketing people?It's over. KOF anniversary is jackshit, and KOF 15 will have no season 3 and final characters will be ones who were already in the last game.
>>491402748>"Hey, come on! come on! This isn't going to suck itself."
>>491413686>they can use AI to help themnot like it's helped that kris kringle guy with his artificial inbecilligence
>>491411521Where did you get that from?
>>491405854>When asked whether Capcom characters are guest staring into SNK games, they all laughed at his face.
>>491414565His ass
>>491414647as they say in the ol' comedy clubswhen you guest stare into the abyss, it guest stares right back at you
>>491405854>>The Samsho project is still "very far out" as they're still looking for action RPG industry professionals. They're working on a "couple of secrets" when it comes to the series itself though.>Same for AOF4So it's until 2026-2027 then.
They are definitely going with Yashamaru as the protagonist looking at the stuff we have, which is nice because I like him. Kinda curious about this new girl tho
So...what about the steam version of KoF 13?
>>491414647They probably thought it was a stupid question
>>49141553245th kof anniversary
>>491415532see you in kof 2033
Why doesn't SNK make a KoF 11UM with all the nest + ash saga characters and tag team (Maybe also assists if possible)?It shouldn't take too much from them.
>>491418376how naive, you don't understand um development, it is nonlinear and in a sine wave or something with like quadratic polynomial equations n sheeit
>>491418376You dumb do you think they can just slap in characters like it's mugen or something?
>>491418376Because nobody plays their last UM game despite people jacking it off as the best in the franchise
>>491418652I mean, they kind of already have all the characters and stages.It shouldn't take longer than 1 year, if even.
>>491418715They are about as much played as a popular game on fightcade, no?
>>49141837611 is not interesting and it wasn't even the final game of the Ash saga, plus:>all the nests + ash saga characters>assistsFuck off
>>491418880Doesn't make much sense to pay about a year of salary to a small team, for them to make a game that probably won't even make the money back. The most XI will have is a port will rollback
>>491405854>https://youtu.be/SjkGdKxecqA?si=m5BdyQ7qlKlR3WhoGood interview this. Still waiting to find out officially why Ash's flames are green and why Saiki's flames are black.
>>491418715It's an old arcade game from 2008 and you can still find matches online whenever you want to. 100 daily peak is more than fine for games like that.
>>491418880Yeah forget all the playtesting and balancing the characters around the game's systems. Just for it to get a 500 player peak
>>491419198>all the nests + ash saga charactersWhat's wrong with that? I want to play OG Tizoc in a kof game that doesn't have shitty SFX.
>>491407664That's a god awful example of modern sprites for a fighting game.
>>491419669>Yeah forget all the playtesting and balancing the characters around the game's systemsHow long do you genuinely think that would take.
>>491419683You're missing the point, the UM games are not just remakes with any bullshit added to the roster, they are meant to have every character from a whole saga, having all the nests characters in a Ash saga game is unnecesary.>B-b-but what about 02UMThat was only an exception for 2 characters (1 of them for unknown reasons), not for the whole roster.PS: Asking for a XI remake just for playing as Tizoc because your ears are shit for listening to SFX is retarded.
>>491405854>>Seems like there are no plans for anyone but Terry and Mai to have alternate costumes, it's XV all over again with this one.I'll never understand this, it seems like such easy money.
>>491420679Ok ok, what about a KoF03 port that is exactly the same but with better SFX and longer timer?Is that too much to ask?
>>491419683Then don't ask for Ash Saga UM when the SFX got shitty lmfao>>491420042These retards don't realize fighting games back then were balanced. 2D fighters were just dumped into the abyss and balance tweaks didn't happen unless revisions or sequels dropped. Nobody's going to want to play a brand new fighter without revisions if shit gets messy
>>491418376Unironically, I want SNK to do a remake of the NESTS arc, we didn't get half the wacky shit they planned for it. Tell the entire story across one game obviously, not split out into several. They could do this for the Orochi saga too I suppose.
>>491421114>These retards don't realize fighting games back then were balanced.Anon...
>>491421358I meant to say weren't
>>491421510Oh well.
>>491421083>what about a KoF03 port that is exactly the same but with better SFX and longer timer?Not profitable in the slightest.
>>491421728It also wouldn't take them any money or effort.
>>491421821It would take them more money/effort to do so than it would not to. If they were going to rerelease 2003/XI outside of roms, they're more likely going to make some sort of bundle /collection for Ash Saga slopBut truth be told, they regret the Ash Saga the most out of all of the previous KOFs because it went off the rails so hard and ended in the massive flop that is XIII. Rather than trying to salvage that mess, they're just going to keep making new games with the characters in them because it's simply not worth itEven KOFAS died before it could even adapt the Ash Saga
Regarding KOF13 character sprites, at least we got to see what they would have looked like if they made the cut.
>>491418376Just port all XI and NGBC characters to Neowave instead. You'll miss like four characters from 03 at most.
I'm starting to lose hope.
>>491418376They lost that game's source code
>>491418376>11>tag team garbage
>>49128942632 and no babylet's laugh at this woman
>>491422234
>>491422093Part of me feels like they regret 94-95 more.
Somehow.. Rugal returned
>>491422404Anon, was a tag team game.You could tag out in it.
>>491422459
>>491422516They can't regret the original games. Those get jacked off all the time. NESTS and especially Ash are the regrets
>>491422706One of them isn't a high schooler.And I'm not talking about Momoko
>>491422706
>>491422714>They can't regret the original games.96-98, the first 2 are only referenced because 98 referenced them.
>>491422093>>491422516NESTS and Tales of Ash were absolutely the regrets because they're both associated with turbulent periods in SNK's history.
>>491420679Just get the characters missing from 03 and Neowave plus the ps2 exclusive characters and it's a really strong roster
>>491422978This guy gets it.
>>491422932
>>491422927Not like Kyo ever graduated.
>>491423141
>>491422978>older Robert from NGBC over 03 RobertI will seethe about this forever.
>>491423352
>>491423332Droping out is a closure as well.
>>491422240This guy has a better chance than them.
>>491423581
>>491422240Maybe they can be generic npcs in the RPG mode? That's assuming anyone at SNK even remember they made those chars.
>>491422234>>491422459>>491422706>>491422932>>491423141>>491423352>>491423581>>491423798Theorically speaking, how much would it cost SNK to add all of these characters to XIII right now?
>>491423798
>>491331452In KoF I'd sayRyo is gay about Kasumi in AoF/FF
>>491424023
>>491424010Every individual character will cost one CotW
>>491424254
>>491405854> there are no plans for anyone but Terry and Mai to have alternate costumesthat fucking sucks
>>491424481
>>491424703Bonus fan art version.
>>491422240Why are you so obsessed with them?
>>491422978Nice Mugen dude.
>>491425384thanks bro
>>491422240dumb chinger changer
>>491422690Are you retarded, ESL or do you lack reading comprehension?
>>491419328>Still waiting to find out officially why Ash's flames are greenhe's radioactive
>>491426484No, are you?
>>491428937>person complains about game being tag>respond with HURR THERE'S TAGRetard
>>491429316There was no reason for you to green text 11 then.
>>491429491So you ARE retarded and lack reading comprehension, good to know
>>491321312I think part of that is due to King of Fighters being SNK's flagship franchise at the time, especially since there were no new Fatal Fury or Art of Fighting games at the time. In recent years, they've been trying to rectify that.
https://x.com/SNKPofficial/status/1826816637510840363>sports team makes it in before Kyo
>>49143260730th anniversary so important they just cut n paste old artworks into a single image to prep us for itit still took half a full original artwork's time to do it too
>>491432607Do people not realize it would be more effective to put him in the "1 more day" picture? Though this isn't going to amount to anything anyway so it doesn't matter.
>>491419328>Still waiting to find out officially why Ash's flames are green and why Saiki's flames are black.Because there's only so many colors.

>>491432607Due to Nabil's video we know this is purely a marketing thing and doesn't have anything to do with game content.
>>491433068Cute and strong
>>491432947By reading this thread you should have noticed that we have a lot of stupid people here. There's some actually expecting a game announcement.
>>491433215I wouldn't be too shocked to see them throw another Online Edition of an old game out there. Those probably don't cost a whole lot to run.
>>491301632>inb4 is just UM releases for PS5 and switch.
i've seen even low level gacha games throw bigger celebrations for anniversaries than snk who couldn't even at least do a cool video that has levels of culmination to it
>>491433141We didn't need that retard's video, no one even expected that to be a game announcement because they're still working on Mid and Midture along with CotW and the new SamSho and AOF
>>491433339Or you know... put fucking rollback for XIII on Steam
>>491434431>We didn't need that retard's videoWe clearly did.
>>491422964The only thing SNK regrets about NESTS is 2001, Hizoku and the fall out from bankruptcy. Other than that, they often like to give the 99 and 00 additions enough attention
>>491433209Wasn't she one of the weakest in SVC?
>>491436012CUTE! AND! STRONG!
>>491435993>HizokuI'm pretty sure that they like Duo Lon.XV balance aside, at least.
>>491436196They probably regret not putting a guy like him in 2000 instead of Lin. Not their fault, the guy who made the storyline left during 2000's development which lead to shit like "Whip is the clone of Seirah" because he didn't tell anybody what Zero told her so they had to use Ureshino's awful take on events.
>>49143613699 artstyle is one of the reasons it is my favourite game in the series (besides the fact that Evo was my first KoF)
>>491430509Oh fuck off, it's late and i'm tired.I made that post 1 minute after seeing the reply.
>>491436314>the guy who made the storyline left during 2000's developmentIs it Daraku Tenshi dev or someone else?
>>491436315Thank STYLEOS and Fujioka for 99's artstyle and designing K', Maxima, Whip and Kriz. They just straight up retooled Daraku Tenshi concepts. it was a much needed upgrade after the Orochi saga had really dated 4th gen era in-game graphics.
Dragon Saga Never
>>491436594No, Tomonori Kamio wrote the storyline for 1996-2000.
>>491436618>the Orochi saga had really dated 4th gen era in-game graphics.Why lie?
>>491433068I remember Kasumi saying she's a Buddhist in this game. I don't remember it ever being brought up in any other games.
>>49143631599 is one of my favorites too even though the gameplay kinda sucks. Aside from the artstyle, the OST is simply amazing and the game overall is just so pretty such as the stages.
>>491437112KOF97 does not look like a game released in 1997, more like a 93-95 game.
>>49143728099 is one I find "interesting." Some really nicec backgrounds.
>>491437414It's the same graphics as 96.
>>491437414>97 has the same graphical standards as Fatal Fury 2, SamSho2 and Super turbo.Cmon now.
>>491437280Park stage is max comfy. All three versions.
>>491436479You're also retarded and with no reading comprehension, take the L
>>491438072I refuse.
>>491405976Especially after capcom made Chun and Cammy's classics as free unlockables and de-censored Juri's SFV outfit.
>>491437765My favorite is the alley. Especially during late hours.
>>491438940I liked how the stages changed times over the course of the fight. I want newer games to do that.
Who will be the final boss/main villain in CotW?
>>491405854>Mai's classic is not selectable on it's own, you need to use the Hidden Gear to access it.Monumentally retarded idea
>>491440606Either>Kain again>Nightmare Geese>Devil Marie>Brand new unplayable OC Final boss (maybe made playable via DLC)
>>491441150You Mai faggots are never happy.
>>491441403I am, her ass is fat
>>491440606Rock or Possessed Marie.
>>491441150IIRC it's a callback to her old hidden super in KOF where different inputs would have her change into different outfits.
>>491441403They are just braindead coomers who like the most generic bitch
>>491445749>Be me, not a braindead coomer>Play Mai in FF2 cause cute girl>Really enjoy her moveset and become a Mai main>Like her relationship with Andy, just wish they'd forward it instead of treating her like a joke>Hope CotW makes her come across as a badass sexy assassin rather than just "omg Andy-chan sugoii!!!">CotW gives me a sexy assassin with an ass that barely fits her jeansI stay winning. Just reveal Andy Shiranui already
>>491443493I think it's more like her Real Bout one that she changes clothes during it. One anon posted a webm here before. In the end, coomers don't really care or know anything about the character
>>491436314Lin is cooler than Duo Lon.
>>491324318Kyo is my least favorite protag but to be fair to him he suffers from the most of his depth and human moments are in extra materials like drama CDs and articles and the novels that most people aren't going to see so all they get is the dickhead 2cool4school shtick instead of the full picture.

>You can see where two other Fatal Fury stages take place from hereDo any other fightans put as much love into their worlds as Fatal Fury does?
>>491458048Every game but FF2 really fleshed out South Town as a fun little place despite the crime and corruption. It's like what Gotham is supposed to be, a place you can't really escape from but warrants being homey enough to want to stay

>>491299997>>491432607At first I thought the Kyofag malding earlier in the thread was kinda funny, but then I saw these and no Kyo in sight. What with the SvC Chaos art and these two it's gotta be part of some elaborate ruse, right? I personally doubt they'll do anything too big for KoF's 30th, I mean they didn't for FF's 30th, but even if it's small I imagine it's gotta be something Kyo related. Like even if it's just art I imagine it'd be a cool piece of art of Kyo. Like they could be building people's expectations to be something like "oh ha ha, Kyo doko?" And then they bring out something Kyo related.If it turns out that they're really forgetting about him, gotta be honest, I'd kinda laugh though.
>>491440606They could do a switch and have Kain be the sub-boss with some unplayable boss version of Grant being the final boss this time
>>491470716All this art so far has just been recycled art and apparently their PR is in charge of the anniversary, so keep those expectations very low
>>491470716Gotta wait for the "1 more day" post I guess or the actual anniversary post. I feel like with the SvC Chaos art, SNK just let the artist draw who he likes and so that's what we got.
I'll learn Blender and hacking in 8 months and bring all classic costumes back and upload them into Steam game files. Don't worry

>>491425324In game set in a American city in the south, is it a sin to want cool, masculine, culturally authentic black american male characters that don't have a corny anime tier archetype like black man but karate or black man but samurai or black man but magic user. Or does every black person in a SNK game have to be corny & non FBA like Marco?
Quick question about Smart Style(aka Modern Controls). Putting the ridiculously insulting euphemisms aside, will this cringy, casual crap be filterable from rank play?... Or will it be like the crapfest that SF6 is, with actual fighting game players having to endure what are effective CPU bots in online PvP play?
>>491478887Yes.
>>491478887Preach, brother. Black-coded = boxer, simple as.

>>491405854>>>Seems like there are no plans for anyone but Terry and Mai to have alternate costumes, it's XV all over again with this one.>>Mai's classic is not selectable on it's own, you need to use the Hidden Gear to access it.What a blunder. Even Capcom got this right. Embarrassing.

>>491289426FINEI fuck her myself
>>491478887Screw you, Native boxer for the win.
>>491481634How lucky.
>>491480140Smart Style is way more truncated than Modern so it shouldn't be a problem. Like not only do you miss out on normals, you also lose access to critically important system mechanics like feints & brakes. So your combo routing is severely limited outside of the autocombo routes which eat through your REV gauge. And even though there is no damage tax on the one button specials like Modern in SF6, Smart Style only has access to light versions of specials, even supers can only use the light variant. Again, much more limited than Modern. You have to be really bad at the game to lose to Smart Style users.
>>491334537>They then add Yuri and Rob's kidNo AOF character for you! Nothing personal.
>>491411512Cute face and nice tits. Would.
so realistically, what are they gonna announce for 30th anniversary? I doubt it will be a pachinko machine with so much hype, but there is not much left to do with KOF has it?
>>491488506my hope is on a rerelease of kof 11 with all the ps2 stuff
>>491484605>Like not only do you miss out on normals, you also lose access to critically important system mechanics like feints & brakes.I'm pretty sure the main trailer showed Smart Terry using a brake.
>>491489180It was an autocombo, though I do admit if you allow breaking in the auto route you should make it accessible manually. But hey i'm not oda so what do i know.
>>491488506IRL King of Fighters tournament
>>491478887Yes, in SNK games where everyone is supposed to be stylish. The only reason the shitty characters you campaign for so much even existed to be roster filler that Terry can beat up.
>>491488506KoF XV goes the F2P/live service route and we get new characters, skins and stages every month, starting with Mature and Vice. And people who bought the game get some shitcoins to buy recolors as compensation
>>491488506It's just a countdown for the anniversary of the series anon
>>491484605You're talking in terms of the highest level of pro play, where winners are decided by minutiae mechanics and trifling char tier differences. In the real world, where 99.95% of play and for who the games are clearly primarily designed for, these button masher controls are like a pollutant to the gameplay experience. They only exist to please those who use them; while spitting in the faces of those who do not... There is no "middle ground" with these things.Moreover, the "penalties" imposed on the macro control schemes, are usually arbitrary and minor; often not addressing inherent advantages that removing all necessity for execution come with. if they do not demarcate the most fundamental aspect of the fighting game -- how it controls -- they are telling us that they no longer care about the competitive integrity of the game.

>>491524313They could have easily used a version of Terry inspired by late 90s Shinkiro.
>>491524313Both pictures are more different to each other than what you are implying.

>>491405854They better change their mind on the Mai costume. Putting Terry's old costume in the game but limiting Mai's like this is so dumb

>>491536580>Cutting Freeman for S2 over Raiden when Raiden's a bg cameo and Freeman is literally the only reason Kevin should be on the roster
I'm kinda hoping Nightmare Geese doesn't show up this time, dunno why. Normally him appearing in KOF or whatever is exciting but he feels like a mainstay now so it's lost the shock factor
>>491537180Nightmare Geese is inevitable because it's Geese and it would be a little nonsensical not to include him in Fatal Fury's comeback, Garou rules be damned. But personally I'd either want him to be unplayable or saved for after more OGs like Mary, Yamazaki and Duck get in as an ACTUAL surprise instead of jumping the gun which is a big issue the other fighters have rn
>>491537374SNK tends to have some pretty unexpected choices at least to an extent, I reckon there'll be some surprises
>>491537180Nightmare Geese should show up to essentially confirm that Geese is very much dead and will stay dead in the main timeline.
>>491502272There are jiggle physics but these nigs are using Kawaiiphysics and didn't turn up the jiggle factor on the breasts enough disappointingly.
>>491524679Terry was always suppose to have a gruff, masculine face. He was never meant to be a pretty boy.
>>491539789It would be funny if they pull out Nightmare Geese, but have him be vanquished not by Terry or Rock, but by Andy doing his job as a new Shiranui head.
>>491540724>Terry and Rock are busy having their little edge feud and Terry knocks Rock off of Geese Tower and barely manages to grab himAndy, through the power of no longer being a virgin, manages to Mafuba Nightmare Geese into a Shiranui jar and goes back home to his 10 kids and pet Hokutomaru
>>491539789>>491540724This isn't KOF, Nightmare Geese would be retarded canonically.
>>491540457No he didn't. He's always looked pretty despite having a masculine body past the early FFs.
>>491541347Retard you do realize that Nightmare Geese DEBUTED in Fatal Fury, right
>>491541683Yes, in a NON CANONICAL appearance you subhuman secondary.
>>491541756Nightmare Geese is non-canonical in concept, the point is for him to just be playable outside of being in the story. The people saying he'll be playable aren't saying he'll show up in the story and high five Rock or whatever dude.
>>491541932Non-canonical concepts don't belong in a canon game. If they want Geese, they can play KOF as he'll be there forever.
>>491542376Honestly I'm not pining for Nightmare Geese myself, but he's been in Fatal Fury games before so I wouldn't be surprised if he's here again
>>491542376You're gonna be in for a rude awakening when you realize why they call the base game CotW SPECIAL Edition
>>491537374>>491539789>>491541347Ideally, Nightmare Geese can work. He just has to use Rock as a meat puppet like what happened with the Jin Brothers.
>>491502272SNK is aiming for the western market sad to say
>>491422240I do want a boxer in the gamedoesn't have to be either of these two, can be Rick, or that Loran Cehack lookalike planned for Garou 2, or Rob Python from Buriki One, I don't mind
>>491541347Nightmare Geese originated from Fatal Fury as a non-canonical fight, I don't see why they couldn't do the same thing here.It's the best of both worlds, Geese Howard remains dead to advance the timeline, but the people that liked playing him get to still play him.
>>491543037I think I'd rather have Nightmare Geese than a Jin situation. That story was kinda whack and one of the worst aspects of FF3. It's why the Jin twins aren't really that popular and makes them a hard sell comeback outside of "muh deep cuts">>491543430Dude that guy just wants to negropost it has nothing to do with boxing
>>491524313retarded capdrone
>>491543259yeah when are they actually going to succeed lol
>>491499506>Realistically I only expect some kind of bonus for XVRetard
>>491544129When they finally stop making KOFs and make an modern Ikari Warriors twinstick shooter
>>491544263>play ikari warriors like virtual onmite b kool
>>491499506>Realistically I only expect some kind of bonus for XVlolthey can't even just make a cool kof celebratory video let alone that
>>491541347Nightmare Geese makes PERFECT sense canonically.
>>491548109Are you saying Sokaku will resurrect Geese?
>>491550616Geese killed Sokaku and stole his clothes anon
>>491550616No, I'm saying that a presense of a man that deals with evil spirits and uses them in battle implies that Geese could easily become one after his death.It's not like Geese has to be specifically resurrected (like Amakusa did). He can just be a specter or a literal nightmare. If anything, I'd be surprised that someone like Geese just died normally.
>HAHA I HECKIN LOVE TERRY HAHA R U OKAY!?!? BUSTA WOLF!!! HAHA!!
Terry and Rock will kill each other.
>>491441403Lemme tell you the secret to making us happy then my retarded friend, PUT MAI IN THE SLUTTY NINJA OUTFIT AT CHARACTER SELECT. Or make it unlockable in that RPG mode. simple, easy, somehow SNK fucked that up while capcom who was railed for years over censoring R.Mika in SFV corrected themselves in SF6.
>>491559427>Huh? Am I going to play him in his new game? You mean him being in SF6? Heck yeah I'm going to play him! I loved him in Smash Bros too! BUSTA WOLF xD!
>>491560578dont' care for coomershit like mai, you're a vocal minority
>>491562506Not him but if nobody cares about Mai, why did her trailer MOG the entire roster(so far)? Even Terry didn't come close.
>>491562695i bet you also think bridget is popular
>>491560578>not finding Mai changing clothes midbattle hotter than the fukt that she wears themYou're a disgrace among us, coomers.
>>491552549Trash and superficial storytelling, it would add nothing to the ongoing story.
>>491559427Seething Kyocuck
this other thing not popularso says peeps posting in a general for a company who couldn't get popular if taylor swift did a duet with them
Why was Kain in no games after MotW? Was he not popular?
>>491565463for a similar reason to why rock wasn't in as many games for a long while. snk didn't want to sully any vision that oda might have had for rock and kain in a ff/garou sequel.
Wow, one more day
>>491565123So, should we leave and play Street Fighter or Guilty Gear instead?
>>491569578>it's just pic related but for XIV/XVThat'd be pretty neat, but I can see a lot of people are probably gonna be pissed it's not more game news
>>491565463Yes. Most of the MotW cast wasn't popular.
>>491571038yep
>>491572327>Andy isn't gay>Yuri actually reacting to Robert's flirting>Botan, Shroom and Rimelo present>Kusanagi chilling with Yata sisters>Hinako checking out RaidenSOVL OVERLOADNo XI PS2 characters though.
>>491563740It surely would. I'm sure that there are a lot of people in the cast that could benifit from confronting Geese, even if it's not the character himself, but a remnant of sorts.It's a symbolic thing. Confronting/facing the past to pave way for the future. Surely, you wouldn't suggest that it's too campy for Fatal Fury?
>>491572665Nice cope
>>491569578>Vice and Maturefucking ruined
Her new design is really good, almost at the same level of MotW Terry for me.
>>491574656>same boring hairnope
>>491574818Hello Andy!
>>491574656andy would have to be gay not to tap her still
>>491574656It is good.
>>491500517wew If it's a collection, couldn't another dev like code mystics or M2 be handling that instead of the dev team hence why that wouldn't bother with other games?idk is SNK really retarded enough to just put "BIG ANNOUNCEMENT" on the star of a countdown and then not announce jack shit? who's market agent is getting fired for this one?
The anniversary project is Maximum Impact RegA with rollback
>>491577740honestly i would be just fine with this
https://x.com/zoulcalibur/status/1826935635959066849ANDY IS not playable
>>491331704imagine being a faggot like you Kyo's fanboys. It's clearly a joke.
>>491582353Shut the fuck up, buttmongerYou're balding
>>491576761The big announcement is literally in that same tweet, that's to inform people about the birthday, the japanese one makes it even more clear. I feel like social media makes people become more and more retarded each day.
>>491569578Kyosisters they're not trying to disappear our boy after all.
>>491523087I just want to use regular Athena's pubes as floss while she sits on my face.
>>491574656I love it. It's so nice to see new official designs for legacy characters as it makes them look fresh.
WOW!https://youtu.be/jPywyzvqOPc
I remember Samsho also having similar cutscenes than the new FF.I guess that one team is the Samsho/FF , another is KoF and a new team working on the samurai showdown action Game.The question is if the Art of Fighting Game will be by KoF team or by a team lead by a new director
Why isn't SNK smart and gets Chuubas on their games?Shit is basicalyy free BIG advertising, SF6 has been getting more and more popular because of it
>>491591221Gato is 100% in. My guess is he gets the snowy forest stage that showed up for a second in one of the trailers.
>>491577740https://x.com/danngameskof/status/1827181130623189271
Looking at the anniversary tweets, where did people get the idea some announcement was happening?The tweets literally only say the KOF anniversary is happening in a few days but nothing about an announcement or anything else, really
>>491594426Twitter/X is full of retards
>>491594426>Looking at the anniversary tweets, where did people get the idea some announcement was happening?It's a mixture of shit posting being taken as fact. We know nothing gameplay wise is coming thanks to the recent SNK interview by Nabil. Whatever is happening is from the marketing department only. No one is responsible for the fiction people put in their own heads.
>>491593497Right. Which means the 17th might be a new character. If Freeman or another returning was the last base roster character, I bet their voices would be featured.
Freeman will be replaced by Freewoman, a female copycat killer inspired by the legend of Freeman from the first game
>>491595690>Freeman will be replaced by FreewomanXeeman.
>>491595690>>491595847Freeman will be replaced by Freethey/Freeperson, a non-binary killer
>>491595195Probably either Geki or Marie for the new character.
>>491569578No kyo no kofLet the dethroned king enjoy this one. He earned it.
>>491596920king's right there dude
>>491597731yeah the king of trannies
>>491583750>goes to Japanese post>Japanese fans also wanting an announcement yeah whatever retard go on
>>491601571>retardness is universalno shit, retard
see, it's not even my fault you guys act like retarded asshats to each other, you guys are just inherently that wayi'm actually the bright part of your lives
>>491596920>Let the dethroned king enjoy this oneWouldn't that be Ryo? His cameo in FFS laid the foundation for KOF.
>>491493901Brother, you do not need to be a pro or be in the top 1% of play to stop a scrub who is mashing out unsafe, resource extensive, suboptimal combos. You just need to not be retarded.
i refuse to
>>491519364For me it's his arms. Terry muscles are often always huge but for some reason they look awkward here, or the cartoon/anime artstyle helps make it more natural than the Street fighter 6 "realism" graphics
>>491601571I think that if you have the capacity to at least be able to read you can understand it. I know I'm expecting too much from someone like you but you can do it anon!
>>491574656It's fine, good even, but:>almost at the same level of MotW Terry for me.Absolutely not.The biggest problem with Mai's new outfit is that it doesn't compliment her movement, attack and fire animations at all. Ryuuenbu is the most obvious example that can be seen in the trailer, but it permeates to almost all of her classic animations in general. So much of just how she moves relies on her garments fluttering around behind her or moving in unison with her movements, attacks and fire trails, and now that's all gone because she has a tight outfit that has nothing extended on it so it just doesn't compliment any of her moves
Starting Rise, what's with the defender weapons? Are they just a way to speed run through to master rank?
>>491612787No idea lost anon. I hope I helped
>>491612960I searched "mhg" and clicked the first thread that came up. Sorry haha
Why didn't they give Mai short hair or let her have her hair down? It barely looks like a time skip design, boring as fuckEven Terry changed from FF2 to FF3
>>491613042No worries, sorry to hear you're retarded, hope you get better
>>491613042It's alright anon. Don't know much about Rise but it has the cute twins so it should be alright
>>491613074Go back to KoFMI.Mai literally got the biggest change in thirty-something years. At least as far as her fighting outfits go.
>>491612548Absolutely this. Billy and Terry's redesigns still capture the general design elements while changing it to be a bit more muted and mature. As you said the new design loses a lot of motion which was important to her style, but it also lost a ton of the ninja and eastern style. All we really have left in the new design is some cherry blossom patterns. They shoulda just gone with a kimono.
>>491613618>Mai literally got the biggest change in thirty-something yearsLMAO nope
>>491613927>At least as far as her fighting outfits go.
>>491614210Sounds like a big cherrypicking cope and a non argument, she has worn shit like that before even if it's not in ther "playable outfits"It's weak as fuck change compared to Terry's timeskip design
>>491616071If your argument is that she has worn shit like that before then Terry's design isn't that major of a change either, in fact, it would be less of a major change than Mai's because she's only worn something like in a single picture while Terry wears shit like that all the time.
>>491616624>while Terry wears shit like that all the time.Nice proof, retard
>>491616624>terry with shorter hair and no cap is something we saw all the time before MotWwhy are mai coomers so retarded??
Time to draw more crappy art about Kensouchad.
Despite what they say, I bet they'll give Mai her Fatal Fury 3 costume as DLC or something later on. People would buy it and they know it.
>>491611870science should study how such a low intelligent form of life like yours is even capable of posting on here, rather than just getting mesmerized by everything surrounding then and then killing yourself.
Reminder: black men were made to be boxers. A black karateka is corny anime bullshit that has no place in serious fighting games. Anyone black-coded should be wearing boxing gloves.
>>491619458nice cope retard
>>491612548>>491613823So you're saying Mai's new outfit sucks because she doesn't have a tail to do her fire tail whip with?
>>491591221Is this supposed to show the character stages too? Kain at a factory, Hokutomaru at "National Park" (is this the Amusement Park stage we've seen?)
>>491591221Were Joe and Andy in this trailer?
>>491623543No, they were shown in artwork though
>>491623393No. It's long been debunked as a source of information on stages.>>491623543No, Joe and Andy did not have teaser voices in this trailer. Only Terry, Mai, and Billy were the OGs with voice teasers.
Stop being asshats to each other. Terry would never approve of this.
>>491619323I wish, but I bet retards would consider Mai's FF3 outfit to be censorship as well.
>>491620286>Anyone black-coded should be wearing boxing gloves.And they should be having sex with women that look like B. Jenet and Blue Mary.
Here's the new Freeman design.
feels good to BTFO this general in drawing.
>>491620286https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCZGbUkabd4nigga this is the real marco rodrigues
>>491569578>Kyo and his harem
Man, I am so tired of censorship fags. At the point, I don't want Mai's classic outfit as an alt anymore because of them gooners.
>>491634168The vintage kyokushin promotional videos are amazing as cringy.I never tire of reviewing them.
>Classic skin for TerryOhnono remember when garou Terry was fixing his non-existent cap in KOF XV? Now get ready for classic skin Terry in COTW to ignore his cap's existence. Well, I guess that won't look as bad.
https://x.com/Busterwolf123/status/1254036382760099843
>>491640612yeah, is like after that infamous bull fight of masutatsu oyama they have to escalate things even more to brag about, i bet that poor bear was drugged and don´t even knew where it was.
>>491594832>NOOOOO YOU'RE THE IDIOT FOR EXPECTING SOMETHING SUBSTANTIAL FOR THE 30TH ANNIVERSARY OF A FRANCHISE THAT HAS PRACTICALLY BEEN SNK'S MAIN AND ONLY ONE FOR THE PAST 20 YEARS!!
>>491642634Looks about right.
>>491646592>THAT HAS PRACTICALLY BEEN SNK'S MAIN AND ONLY ONE FOR THE PAST 20 YEARS!!This is a bad thing
>>491638942Even Ash?
>>491649156Especially Ash.>>491649156
>>491525905More like Red Hood. Which makes him pretty based.
>>491642306>garou Terry was fixing his non-existent cap in KOF XV?That's in COTW, he fixes his hat and immediately realizes it's not there. I think you can only get the animation from EX power dunk?
>>491642306>Now get ready for classic skin Terry in COTW to ignore his cap's existence.But there is an animation of Terry fixing his hat in COTW already then staring at his hand realising that he doesn't wear one
>>491574656I love the cherry blossom print.
>>491652884You don't love her more than I do! She's mai waifu, say you don't love her as much as I do! Say it!
Happy 30th anniversaryhttps://x.com/famitsu/status/1827360301412708566
>>491652856>SpoilerSauce? I need to gaze upon this animation.
>>491609673>Terry muscles are often always huge but for some reason they look awkwardthen it's just terry
>>491612787rise is the best p4 girl so you started right, that's all you need to know>>491631064yeah i know, i btfo every anon here including you>brown is black narrativeheh lol
Why did they change T.O.P. to S.P.G.?I want to T.O.P. a nigga, not S.P.G. them.
>>491648115Especially damning when Oda said in PRspeak that "we only cranked more KOFs after 2000 because that would guarantee profits, not because we loved KOF"
>>491662625Easy there, Kazushi! There are no black boxers in COTW.
There is something amusing about Krizalid being the lower tier final boss on 02UM despite being the hardest one to deal.
>>491667340How's Krizalid the hardest?
>>491669521>Good moveset>Have free cancel combos>less exploitable AIRest of NESTS bosses have some obvious pattern.
>>491331704Everywhere I see this guy it just has please sponsor me please energyJust pick up nord vpn like the rest of the losers on youtube making grift content.
>>491391170This was a fun little collab. I kinda wish amy was in a fighting game now
>>491407664What is this busted nigga doing in another game?
>>491673271I'm almost sure that BR indie studios have the rights to breakers, but i don't know how that works with the new chicago version though.
>>491673581Yeah, still rather they have it than someone like fucking dotemu
Wait, if they're adding Art of Fighting songs int CoTW, does it means that they will add AoF playable characters?
>>491676585Mr.Karate, Ryo and Yuri are a safe bet.But only one of them.
>>491677327I don't think Yuri is in because Marco's stage is Yuri's gym. If Yuri was in it then her gym would be her stage and Marco would have some other stage.
>>491664375>Oda>After KOF 2000He wasn't even there until XIV
>>491677473if she was dlc she might not need her own stage
>>49167732740+ year old Yuri?
>>491646592yes you are a retard, good to see we agree, retard
>>491679262DLC characters will have their own stage.Source: I'm hoping for it.
>>491679605He will never come back anon
>>491679605Gotta live with the fact that KOF is stuck with Shun'ei forever
>>491679879They can easily make him look good. Just make him wear his jacket and get rid of his headphones because he doesn't need them anymore
>>491679879I like Shun'ei, I'm even okay with his design now but damn they really didn't give the guy much to work with at all.
>>491679879He's going to have a third game in the saga, right?
>>491679879His design can be fixed like Sylvie was.
>>491680938I think it could go either way.
>>491679303To go. Thank you.
>>491679172He was there since ff2, had to look for work elsewhere when SNK went under and then came back for XIV.
>>491660129That's a bad example.
>>491681002Sure
>>4916k9605I'd take ALba over Shun'ei
>>491682148kofxv in general is a bad example
What if the next saga had a female protagonist?
>>491682393No thanks
>>491681965I know, I just meant that he doesn't really have to do with anything past 2000 until XIV.I guess Eolith just spammed KOF because it was their most known IP but it was clearly a mistake.
>>491682393She's coming
>>491682891Oh, right. I'll go one further for you afaik he worked mainly on the FF, AoF, Fu'un and LB games I think, so he didn't really have much to do with KoF until XIV. And yeah they basically did spam KoF under Eolith, I wonder how much it had to do with Big Boss (Eikichi Kawasaki) having to buy back most other SNK IPs from Aruze when he came back with Playmore.
>>491682393i wouldn't be a bitch about it, she'd still be measured the same way i measure anybody else in terms of dimesand that it's snk, i'd be hardpressed to assign a high dimes value just because of that
>>491682950the succubus herself
>>491682950Fuck, hide Andy and MeitenkunAnd all of your shotas
So, what did we got?
>>491683674Their biggest mistake I guess was even before Eolith. The time and money they spent trying to make a popular console would've been way better used in trying to make 3D games for the PS1 gen.Funny how they are finally starting to put effort into making one (SS ARPG) almost 25 years after the bankruptcy.
At this rate, they might as well port over everyone from XIV to XV. Maybe except Love Heart.
>>491684908woulda coulda shoulda
>>491682301KYS Falcoon
>>491682891>Eolith just spammed KOF because it was their most known IPBro, they made just 2 games, back when the series was still yearly: one to end the current storyline and another one as a dream match. What are you even talking about?
>>491684908Replace Geiten with Leona
>>491685240>cute&funnyAll of them are JK hags.
>>491682950You told me Andy was gay WTF
>>491685240the rock one made me laugh, thanks anon>>491685450With the spam I meant the entire eolith/playmore era, until they got sold to the chinese dude
>>491685994It's a ninja tactic to exterminate f*moids
>>491686152But she can even fix Ryo
>>491679879I like Shun more than I like Ash or K's try hard retardation
>>491685994Mai is 'bout to kill a bitch
Took him some time
>>491686106You mean when we got 3-4 SamSho games, SvC, NGBC, 6 Metal Slugs (of dubious quality) and a ton of dating sims? Not to mention scrapped MotW sequel.Yeah, I dunno about KoF being front and center, SNK Playmore was mostly a pachinko company at the time anyway.
>>491686467Ryo is just looking for a good woman to start a family with, like his dad did. Too bad that the only woman around him is his sister.
>>491686467Clearly he's just asking her to join the Kyokugen Karate dojo and telling all the benefits that come with that membership
>>491685887shut up /a/
>>4916870642001, 2002, 2003, Neo Wave, 2002UM, 98FE, 94 Re-bout, XI, XII, XIII, Sky Stage, MI, MI2, MIRA, EX, EX2. These are the ones I remember and I'm ignoring all the mobile ones that would probably add like 10 or 15 more to the list

>>491289426To the anon who makes threads. Your formatting is fucking cancer. Not only is it obscene in information, but I have to delete every four spacebars per line as well as the [embedded] text for every Youtube link. Seriously, sort your shit out, it is only you who I come across with this formatting problem.
>>491691571what could the R stand for i wonder>>491691618its totes me bro i make all them threads
>>491691618nta but you get used to it after a while
>>491691713>its totes me bro i make all them threadsIf you keep on doing it I will just make new threads with next to nothing in the header.>>491692219>nta but you get used to it after a whileHe will get used to me making new threads without his garbage.
>>491692359>If you keep on doing it I will just make new threads with next to nothing in the header.nooooooooo ahhhhhhh
Make the new thread so we can bitch there
>>491685994Been saying this shit for years. The problem was always Mai immediately jumping to babies and marriage and shit anytime he gave her an inch and Andy just wanting them to move at a normal pace. Andy loves taking Mai out and enjoys spending time with her, hell he even thinks some of her obvious antics are cute but when she starts up the psycho shit he understandably gets out of dodge.
>>491693476give a sec gonna add some spaces and tabs and special characters to it and a couple artificial [Embed]s
>>491693609It's almost like Andy is a normal male
>>491693713damn kensou is not a normal malehe must be a genetic freak
>>491693609Are you retarded? That dating sim Andy is not even the same Andy
NEW THREAD>>491694162>>491694162>>491694162
>making a shit thread on kof's 30th anniversaryholy shit you dumb retardsomeone make a real one
>>491693609By that logic, the problem was always Andy because Mai is happily dating an OC in the dating sim Days of Memories
>>491694193You cannot be serious
100 MEGA SHOCK>>491694809>>491694809
>>491694812low indie quality games deserve low indie quality threads
>>491688991So 6 mainline games (2 of which are dream matches), 4 anniversary updates to the past games, 3 MI games (one of which is a cut up rebalance of MI2 with 3 new characters made for arcades), 2 GBA games and a shmup that got an updated version that dropped KOF branding in favor of Neo Geo. All across 10 years.You can say that it's a lot, but I feel like that is a somewhat dishonest way to present the full picture knowing the history behind them.
>>491684896Yeah. It's a bit kinda related but it only hammers home your point, there's a Capcom dev who has a channel and has done interviews with others, in one of them he mentions that the arcade rivalry was so intense that if it wasn't for RE doing well that SNK would've pulled them under. By this point they were developing licensed games for other companies, but I imagine that those only bring in so much, so I tend to lend some credence to that statement.
