Jin brothers COTW trailer when
Are hops in fatal fury as prominent as it is kof 15? I didn't like the guessing game between jumps vs hop, if I read someone goes into air I just want to punish them with same AA option. I might even play modern in cotw so I can eliminate that whole hop or jump guessing game with one button dp.
>>492550910I don't think Athena is the kind that would ever drop out. She literally shames Kyo for not finishing high school in XIII.>>492549339I don't believe Kukri got a diploma. He was probably home-schooled by Dolores.
>>492549346Andy? The gayest.
>>492549339Geese absolutely has a college degree, how can you possibly think he’s “no school?”
>>492567187Athena has always been a hypocrite as a joke to Kyo. Especially her wanting to see Kyo in his school uniform while she is wearing her own despite both of them already left school.In Match of the Millenium when Kyo and Athena are tagged teamed they are called "The Ronin" which is dropouts. It makes sense that she would drop school to be an official idol.
>>492567683>dirt poor>as a kid dropped everything and went to find his dad in Europe to avenge his mom's death>traveled around for some time>trained under Tung>trained in other places>worked on his criminal imageHe wouldn't really have time to attend school. If he has a college degree, then it's cause he bought it.
>>492565124It's not a guessing game. If you have the read like you said, pre-emptively doing a DP beats both options. On top of that, different gaps require different jump types, so you can tell which one they'll use from that alone.
>>492565124FF:CotW will have hops, but they're not as egregious as KOF hops.
>>492565124>the guessing game between jumps vs hop>guessinggit gud
>>492549471>>492557428reminds me of that tierlist from a long long time ago, where an anon described and ranked their smell and the type of panties each female fighter would use…

New Art of Fighting when?
>>492549339I don't know if this still applies to KOF, but wasn't Yuri in college during the first AOF?
>>492578721Unclear, but they did confirm at this year's EVO Vegas that a new Art of Fighting is indeed in the works.>>492581165Yuri is listed as 17 when she was kidnapped in AOF1.

>>492616517>Implying CotW needs a mandatory boxer
>>492613995If CotW is even lucky enough for a Season 4 lol
>>492613995I kinda want to commission some porn artist on twitter to draw Blue Mary getting forcefully violated by those two at the same time. Maybe have Mary ontop of Max while Hawk pumps her from behind and Terry could be tied up right behind them so he can visible see both of Mary's holes being penetrated.
>>492617480Do it with only one of them. Threesomes are gay.
>>492613995Is there anyone else who wants them besides you?
Why are crapcucks so subhuman?
>>492621395Is that really fair though? No rationale person would seriously think they would have a chance being mentioned in a future SNK game let alone be playable so why would you expect any who is non-schizo to waste a nano second requesting them? Like does anyone at SNK even remember those chars exist.

>>492650184Who's the not-Yuki looking girl?
>>492652901Rika Kashiwazaki. Athena's best friend only in this game.
>>492599507According to that logic, that would mean Kyo has also graduated high school.
>>492638882This summer... The Bogayrds.
>>492654913So, they're lesbians?
>>492655916No. They just traveled to Thailand.
>>492653395Athena got a type, I see.
>>492664576Athena wants to fuck Yuki?
>>492664576>>492665717until she meets Kyo-san and ditches her to get closer to Yuki and get close tabs on when they ever break up so she can get that Kyo dick.
>>492665942
>>492665717Yes, pretty much.>>492666326But in KoF Kyo Athena is all about Iori?
>>492672198Nah, in the game I choose to date Athena as Kyo and it pisses Athena and Yuki off, yet Athena still blushes out of happiness. Even I start grinning, it's great..
>>492642638thanks, found it. I'm going to try it out since I miss snk all star that was almost equal but died some years ago
>>492676103It was fine, but it mostly felt like a clone of KOF '98 UM OL.
>>492676103>>492678073Yeah but this one has fancy 3D models and it has some really interesting story mode that makes good use of all the different IPsInterestingly enough, there is a trailer on their Facebook listing the multiple games they can use and KOF not only goes up to XIV, it straight up replaces vanilla 02 with 02UM
>>492673706You can date both as Kyo?
>>492683348They won't allow you to really cheat on Yuki because SNK are pussies. But you can make your choices align more to Athena and make it so you are kinda dating Athena in secret.
>>492684170Damn, what a scumbag. Terry would never do that kind of shit.

>>492613995SNK just hates Black Americans. It's the only explanation. Like Southtown is suppose to be SNK Miami and yet we zero FBA representation in the fucking game. But of course we have room for corny ass Marco and probably another Brazilian because god forbid we go a SNK game without a capoeira character.
>>492696472>But of course we have room for corny ass Marco and probably another Brazilian>SNK just hates Black Americansonly going by that just you guys consider marco blackbrazil is in SOUTH america

Athena's chubby holy tighs
>>492724028At least post a picture.
>>492727580Sorry. Here.
Friendly reminder that the latest entry in SNK's biggest and practically only franchise for the last 20 years, KOF 15, sold less than and had less DLC seasons than Samsho 2019, a game from a series that's even smaller than KOF and had its previous game over a decade ago.
>>492734283SamSho actually has integrity as a self-contained franchise. Even if the crossover DLC is probably some of the worst out of all fighting games. It's also one of the better footsy-focused fighters and isn't boring comboshit like KOF is nowCotW will probably mog both. S2 of CotW will go wild
>>492553595how was this allowed????
Terry >>> Kyohttps://youtube.com/watch?v=du9SSLBy7Jk
>>492735362It was the 90s, anon. It was a different time. No, wait! It was a completely different fucking world. Help! I want to go back!
>>492734283Samsho was the second SNK IP with most entries and the fourth more important IP after KoF, MS and Garou . And the IP seems to be handle okay with a fighting with soul and now a arpg , while SNK doesn't know what to do with KoF lore , story or even art wise

>>492741129SNK can't even get relevant guest characters in their games
>>492741129but why
>>492747914I'd take Honoka over Luke or Bridget
>>492748879Or you could just put in Jin or Cammy
>>492740162Might just be teasing a mod release.
>>492749165Yeah pretty sure it's just that. Isn't this the same guy who said the ASTs and KOF Sky Stage music were coming like 2 years ago anyways?
>>492749487no
>>492750416Yes you did
>>492740162>>492741129
>>492613995Between Max and Hawk, I wonder which one has the bigger bbc?
>>492696472You ever think it maybe because they're just not popular like other characters? Seriously, I don't get your fixation on black boxers and that the game needs them or else it will be ruined?
>>492740162Looks like female Andy.
>>492758481Well, not Max. For sure.
Hiding here from the fake fighting game champion making cope posts about Preecha and whining about Hotaru, B.Jenet and Mai
>>492762257too late i found you here
Is it true Shion is a tranny? He was originally a girl until SNK were like "WOULDN'T IT BE FUNNY IF WE MADE THEM A BOY???" and turned Ash into a trannybait femboy
>>492762462I thought Shion was just androgynous. Then again don't some people think Preecha is trans for some reason?
>>492613995Sorry, lad, there can be only one boxer in the game.
>>492762638They made up a fanfiction about her having implants and "leaving her family due to disagreements and misunderstandings"
>>492762853belongs in aew
>>492762462>>492762638Shion is just a male. Preecha was only initially speculated as trans because "Preecha is a masculine name, the feminine version she should've had is Preechaya" and general comments about her appearance.
Preecha is trans-coded, just like Manon.
>>492763210In what world is this remotely male?

>>492764013Fine
>>492764495They're talking about her. >>492741129She was one of the new characters added to Dead or Alive 5. She, along with Marie Rose, became popular in Japan that they were used in a ton of crossovers including KOF All-Star.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2v0uxIoKKtM
>>492740162>>492741129DoA is bro franchise, bro.
>>492764949Too bad we might not get a new game due to how 6 turned out.
>>492764013
>>492765403Tecmo was so fucking retarded, I'll never forgive them
>>492741129t-thanks?
The only time Ash looked feminine to me was his costume from Maximum Impact.
>>492765878He's still a tranny
>>492765403see>>4927656706 was a half baked piece of boring mess.And I have suspicions it was self boycotted.It was fun the months it was easy find matches yet you knew the game had a lazy development.
>>492764568>>492764737>>492765549>>492765878>>492766831These are not men>>492771601They turned against their coomer audience, but then got laughed out of the room when they tried to win the coomers back with sexy mtx
>>492734283Capcucks didn't manipulate potential buyers into believing the online doesn't work.
>>492762462Shion has birthing hips in the concept art.
>>492773691That makes "him" a woman
>>492774631Even if he has a dick?
>>492763373In Japan.
>>492772990What about Chris?
>>492775278>>492775884Japan had trannies in everything>>492776780He's a substandard hentai shota
One thing XIV has over XV is the stages. The stages in XV are so bland.
>>492778075I like the Esaka stage since it's a throwback to 94. But overall I agree.
>>492777310>He's a substandard hentai shotaThis isn't quite right.
>>492779652Does she know what's coming?
>>492741129I mean. SNK had put their characters in DOA 5 and 6. I wouldn't be surprised if DOA characters get added as DLC guest in CotW. My preferred choice is Kasumi and Ryu. But I guess Honoka will get in due to her popularity, might as well add Marie Rose if they're going down that route.
>>492779652>>492779773Surprised Kensou isn't there too to complete the trio.
>>492780126Is Kensou even a shota? Meitenkun is more of a shota
>>492779773Yes. All three of them.
>>492780126He's in the game, but not even KOFG succubus can overcome his dragon boner for Athena.
>>492780028The two do seem like a package deal. I don't think I've ever seen any of these collabs include one but not the other. Though, my choice for DOA guests would be Kasumi and Ayane.>>492780198No, but the three of them did get grouped together a lot in Saigado doujins for whatever reason.
Will SNK's IPs ever get another anime?
>>492780578Too bad Athena has other guys in her mind.
>>492740162Looks like it was just mod thing for XV.
>>492779652Chris is more of a twink than a shota.
>>492781207>14 yoNo, he's not. He's just barely a shota still.Hell, Momoko is older than him.And even archetypically, he's a regular smart and sadistic shota you'd find in a lot Japanese pulp romance books for women.
>>492781207you have to understand you're dealing with snkfagsthey raise the threshold to include some things higher than others
>>492762853>corny over designed chuuni anime lookin ass character that only a redditor could find appealingThere is no way any pussy getting nigga can look at Rick and not instantly laugh at how cringe he is. I mean the idea of some squaw feather head injun being a believable boxer is ridiculous on it's face alone but combine that with his 90s wcw meets T hawk ass fit and you just get something that's truly parody tier. Like when the fuck Nightwolf start boxing. Fucking sitting bull reservation indigenous lookin ass nigga. Yeah, get the fuck outta here with this savage. I want authentic traditional lookin boxing chars, the shorts, the iconic boxing gloves, and etc. Keep the cartoon character shit for the anime archetypes like karate man or samurai. Boxing is for the real niggas.
>>492784167>corny over designed chuuni anime lookin ass character that only a redditor could find appealingBut enough about Shun-ei and Isla
>>492784167You're right. After all, Michael Max and Axel Hawk are such beloved characters they'd be crazy to not include them in COTW.
This stupid obsession over boxers is making me miss the Geitenkun poster.
>>492784167What do you think about Rob Python?
>>492784167Don't worry, Michael will be featured in a cameo, trying to borrow Rick's bike to get in tournament, but getting caught and sent into prison instead.
>>492638882Anyone have that banned ad of Terry slapping the girls' butts?
>>492787087You mean this? >>492711873
>>492784167>but combine that with his 90s wcw meets T hawk ass fit and you just get something that's truly parody tierYour random characters look like early 90s wcw jobbers themselves. Get with the times buddy.
>>492785807Why do ppl itt keep making these sort of arguments like SNK games are Mortal Kombat/Street Fighter status or something? Like I heard the same nonsense about Radien not being "popular" enough to be in cotw. Like brother, SNK games don't FUCKING SALE. Like none of these chars outside of Terry is even remotely recognizable let alone beloved. You're not making a relevant point here.If anything, Michael Max would spark more awareness & attraction than majority of COTW cast right now solely off his Tyson & Balrog likeness and connection. That's how fucking niche & unknown SNK games & chars are. I know you think your 15 man active discord is reality but it isn't. No one knows who the FUCK Rick Strowd is. You can't market that nigga to no out outside of your discord, whereas atleast Michael Max you can market him as south town playable Mike Tyson. That's atleast something that normies can instantly grasp the appeal of. How tf do you market Rick? T Hawk if he boxed and dressed gayer??? No fucking shot.
>>492786727Peak black american male design. It's truly a shame we get cornballs like Marco for black reps instead of all the dope black american chars that SNK made but never did anything with.
So, should Xiangfei get brought back too to fill the Chinese girl archetype?

The upcoming release of COTW brought me back into a SNK mood.I doubt it exists but I'll ask anyway just in case: any good place to find old SNK Japanese lore material regarding mainly Fatal Fury (though Art of Fighting and King of Fighters is fine too)? Like official manuals, website bios, character materials, interviews, side material, whatever that may exist that provides canonical information. Is any of this shit archived easily?When I go down the rabbit hole of lore autism I like to read it directly from the source itself. During my previous SNK moods I got pretty damn familiar with the lore but I would like to go deeper this time, and it's apparent that the wikis are pretty poor and extremely bad at sourcing anything, even the japanese wikis I've looked at don't source their shit and it's really frustrating. Like a good example is Wolfgang Krauser, it is said that Jeff Bogard and Hanzo Shiranui battled him. But very few wikis source where this is even from so I can read it myself. I assume it's some manga or side material.
>>492829460What about Charlotte?
>>492842969archivee hentaiDo you know to read japanese?. Go.It's a feast.
>>492844658>lore>doujinsyeah go figure that snk is so lazy about the writing that they just relegate the task to third party hentai fanartists
>>492848808You might find some rare books there. exhentai has been described as the modern era's Library of Alexandria, so much so that there was a massive panic when the site momentarily shut down because there were so many rare books that couldn't be found anywhere else.
>>492848808Are you aware that the site has more than doujins?Like Neogeo freaks magazine scans and whatnot?
>>492791141How are we suppose to know? The game still has like 9 months until release. And god only knows if we get a beta or not.

First chapter of Ureshino's 'Stray Dog, Stray Wolf' a 2008 Fatal Fury novel in Englishhttps://www.tumblr.com/kof-fatalfury-daily/760185137316200448/
>>492854936holy fuck I miss those cabs
>>492842969'Krauser vs Jeff and Hanzo' is from an ancient book published by Gamest (see pic). Third party authors wrote it. Ureshino was one of them, way before he wrote novels for SNK.Check the "Assorted translations" link in this thread for more lore in English. It has sources. https://kof.eu5.org/This Fatal Fury novel is being fantranslated to English ahead of the COTW release.https://www.tumblr.com/kof-fatalfury-daily/760185137316200448/
>>492868407>>492868407>>492868407I wonder how Jeff's fighting style worked. Would he lean more into Tung's style with some additions like the wave?
>>492870484Jeff was chosen as the heir to Hakkyokuseiken, so his style must've been close enough to Tung's.
>>492870484Maybe they could also give him the Hurricane Punch from the OVA.
>>492870484>>492871184That is exactly how he fought in Destiny at leasthttps://youtu.be/YH2qwCgeYIg?si=gvIVdezvMFQsmGzd&t=858
>>492877942I've never watched this series.Should I?
>>492880010Animation is objectively bad but it surprisingly has decent fight scene choreography and is good fanservice for KOFfags and nobody elseIf you're an AOF fan avoid it completely
>>492880302I thought the music was pretty good.
Shouldn't SNK be putting out a cotw beta like right around now so they can use the months of dev time left to go over the network data and make any changes?
>>492882559but would that be a business norm? think about itwe can only do it if it's the business norm
>>492882559Maybe next reveal. They've already been doing betas at major events and if they put out a beta now we'll probably still only have 5 characters to fool around with and that defeats the purpose of going to those events to try the gameSince the game's coming with 17 characters a beta right now would only have about 5 still (compared to SF6 only having Luke and Ryu) and I'm unsure what 5 they'd end up picking this time
>>492882729SF6 came out in April had i'm pretty sure it had a close beta in Oct and then a 2nd close beta in Dec and than one more a month before release but the last one was a open beta for the ppl who didn't get into either of the closed betas rather than a stress test for the online.

Really enjoying just dicking around in SvC Chaos.
>>492923301Character?I picked kyo. First time I've mained this guy.
>>492808065Nah, I said they were afraid of possible legal trouble, but now it's just whatever.It's just so old by now that it's better to let sleeping dogs lie.
>>492931131japan hears stories of abundant litigation matters occurring in america and get paranoid that it's worse than what the reality is because japan doesn't have anything like parody law or fair use defined in their own copyright laws, so they don't really understand itthen again neither do americans 99% of the time when they conflate trademarks with copyrights all the time
>>492934996Yeah, Japan is really weird about that stuff.I got a mega talking to when I posted the "it's time to press button" meme on the samsho twitter account.They were worried I was opening them up to being sued haBetter safe than sorry I guess!
>>492926524Same! I've just been labbing and doing arcade ladder so far. Playing Kyo in a game so much like SF is really cool.
Japan has a saying about lawsuits in America, something along the lines of "if it's raining, somebody's getting sued every time a raindrop hits the ground."
>>492935896>"it's time to press button"wait whatexplain that>>492936308it's true that americans can be lawsuit happy, but at the same time, the reality is lawsuits are expensive af and hiring a lawyer, esp one that works by the hour, is crazy bank, and a lot of people end up having to settle or any other precourt litigation, and just some random offended feminist is typically not gonna have the funds to initiate a lawsuit, and getting a class of them to unite for a lawsuit is also lol because there's the chance it gets thrown out for frivolousness, lack of evident circumstances to even try it in court (which would be a civil case in these kinds of matters), and even court fees which i'm familiar with lol are pricy alonegoddammit go away pete dunne
>>492938528it's a "Sonic the Movie" meme, with Dr. Robotnik sayin, "It's time to press button." I compared it to popping rage during a match.
>>492938660lol do they think it's trademarked or some shitbecause it's not a long enough remark to be copyright
>>492938845it was a gif anon
>>492939140oh you posted the actual movie gif thenok i guess i can see why they'd be alarmed at thati never watched that movie
>>492939264yeah it's whatever, but they were spooked lolIn Japan you could get into trouble, I guess.
>>492939385kwell the original situation above was about likeness and it's probably less of a worry as these kinds of cases often fail, see dee-lite v sega https://www.gamespot.com/articles/deee-lite-singer-loses-sega-lawsuit/1100-6158913/and stuff like changing "mike bison" through three nameswaps was just a kneejerk reaction by capcom usaso i don't know what japan does, they have a weird court system esp for criminal cases, but their treatment of how usa would theoretically react in their mind is a little overreacting on their part so to speak
I forgot how novel of a feature SNK games' continue service is, because I haven't used it in years...

Trying out last blade 2 but it genuinely feels like Kaede is the only decent playable character everyone else feels stiff and slow. Akari's pretty alright but not my cup of tea. I'm hanging in there though.

Will bookmark these websites.>Third party authors wrote it.Is it even canonical then? Does SNK even care for it? This is the kind of stuff I want to parse through too, what is canon and what isn't. Again the wikis do a poor job differentiating information
>>492961828KOFAS>>492965436The only "true" canon are the games themselves and any derivative work that has direct involvement from SNK themselves (not licensed stuff)

I'm surprise that SNK hasn't released a new Metal Slug Anthology. Seems like easy money. MS 1-6 and add the GBA/DS/PSP games as well for 40 bucks. Have it ready for the Switch 2 launch. Boom easy money.
>>492882559Probably around TGS with an announcement of a close beta. Also, SNK has already gathered data/feedback whenever they had people play it and made some changes like the sound effects for Marco punches and Terry's finisher having more impact now.
What does SNK stand for?

>>492974886Shin Nihon Kikaku.Which literally translates as "Super Japanese Company". I guess it's better than "CAPsule COMputers"?
>>492973424>Seems like easy moneyI think there lies your answer, SNK doesn't want easy money, they want to blunder for a while until they finally hit the right idea, and even that's a maybe.
>>492982232K'ek
>>492883164All these events and not a single person or content creator has done a video exploring Smart Style in any depth. We need a beta because the FGC types are never going to care about that scheme and I would like to really know how it stacks up with Modern Controls from SF6 and for SNK to have time to alter it based on feedback they would potentially get from Modern Control players trying out Smart Style in a cotw beta. Also, presumably, you would want to do an online beta to see how your netcode holds up rather than to necessarily get feedback about chars & balance.
>>492982442I thought the meaning was closer to "New/Neo Japan Project"?

KOFXV is on sale atm, 80% off. I practice Muay Thai and have only played Street fighter games before but SF6 still doesn't have my man Sagat. KOFXV has both King & Joe so has peeked my interest.I've never played a KOF game before, How similar / different does KOFXV play to SF games?
>>493035643Obviously both are 2D fighting games. Differences: (super) hopsdifferent neutraldifferent anti airsdifferent flowfaster more offensive (at least until sf6)different hitboxesmatches are more strategic since every team has 3 characters and the SAME bar, resource management is vital
>>493035643KOF is commonly described as faster and with more offensive potential than Street Fighter, much of it chalked up to its multiple jumps. There's plenty of defensive options as well, so you're not entirely helpless. Of course, there's the main bit about learning three characters at minimum, but with KOF, once you learn the core mechanics and flow of the game, you can pick up most characters without issue.
>>493035643>>493038663Also, if you're willing to stick around, Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves drops in April, and that one's got a new nak muay to play with, named Preecha. Also, odds are very good Joe will be back as well.
>>493038901FF:CotW will be arguably the most Street Fighter-esque fighter produced by SNK in the modern era, so it won't be as extreme a jump to go from Street Fighter to Fatal Fury.
>>493018672do we really need more of that>>493035643too bad the dlc isn't 80% off
>>493035643Way more movement focus. Approaching is less taboo but still has RPS and answers built in for nooch. Going in, keeping people off you will probably have to be a higher priority compared to the average matchup in SF.
>>492965436>>492967085First of, Memories of Stray Wolves has Terry mentioning Geese and Krauser are brothers, so that's still canon and it came from those Gamest books. Second, while SNK didn't write stuff from the those Gamest books, I doubt they would have let Gamest invent anything on their lore without permission, so SNK must given those Gamest folk ideas to expand on their games' lore. Capcom must have did the same too with Street Fighter.

>>493051847https://arch.b4k.co/vg/thread/365751270/#q365925330
>>493046339Found thishttps://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E9%A4%93%E7%8B%BC%E4%BC%9D%E8%AA%AC%E3%82%B7%E3%83%AA%E3%83%BC%E3%82%BA%E3%81%AE%E5%B9%B4%E8%A1%A8At the bottom of the page(Google Machine Translation)>The above three books are referred to as " mystery books, " which are books that contain unofficial analysis ; however, the authors other than the Gamest editorial staff are listed as the "Kyokugenryu Strengthening Committee (SNK)" and the "Southtown Neighborhood Association (SNK Staff)," respectively, and they are supervised by SNK, as evidenced by the clear statement that "questions were sent directly to SNK and answers were received" ("Art of Fighting Mystery," page 182) and the signatures of each character are included with official SNK approval ("Fatal Fury Mystery," pages 188-189).So at least at the time of publishing that stuff is as close to canon as it can get, the question remains if new SNK will keep that stuff canon.
>>493053494The way I see it, if it doesn't contradict with established canon and was overseen by official staff, it's canon until state otherwise. Same with little details from the mobile games as it could be their way of squeezing this information into a medium that allows it.
Even more than my "tech" webms (I didn't look at the one I uploaded before, it barely qualifies) I like the ones I snag of the CPU doing something sick. It gets really input-ready towards the end, but prior to that, it isn't as cheap as people said? It's...generally just solid. Follows a gameplan, anti-airs, will punish on openings with genuine combos (!?) It's flowcharty but flowcharty in the way someone really might play.
>>493047519Wooah, thank you.If only I could understand nipponese. I gonna watch it in any case.
>>493018672>>493047519

>>493047725the one credit i give kofxiv is that they worked harder on that game than they did the lazy ass production that is kofxv
I liked both XIV and XV despite knowing there's plenty of ways they could've been better. But I still like them for what they are.
XIV is automatically shit because of that Kyo design
>>493056269The design was fine. I just think they made him too skinny and pretty. Give him his testosterone back and remove a few details from the coat and it's a solid older Kyo design.
As always Kyobro be like
>>493057007Nah, the zipper looks absolutely stupid. and the hairThey tried to emulate peak and failedI do like XIV Terry though, even ig he lost massive amounts of muscle mass
most of it is they still don't know how to model what's there on paper or make it look like such or even at least close to sucheven simple tales games can do *that* much
At least we're not Strive
>>493059032>I do like XIV Terry though, Finally, someone who understands me.>even ig he lost massive amounts of muscle massPersonally, I'd rather have it this way than roided freak Terry from KoF XII-XIII. Honestly, I think that they made Ryo too big too.

>>493064920Modern Ryo is a travesty and it's all XII/XIII's fault
>>493047725It had better stages than XV. Also, female fan Terry. Wish they brought her back for XXV.
KOF XV HAS AUTO-COMBOS WHAT THE FUCK?????????
What about music? Do you think XIV had better music than XV or vice versa?
>play xiv for a bit since thread's talking about it>try out vice and mature for the first time in a while since I never got around to beating arcade with Team Yagami>they're actually pretty funWhy do anons keep lying to me?
>>493071269Because they haven't actually played these gamesMature is the better of the two, Shermie's more fun as a grappler imo
>>492800589Shermie has an itch only Chris or other younger boys can scratch.
>>493072506And yet he's not on her list of handsome boys in KOF All-Star. Though, I guess she might consider him more cute than handsome.
>>493067398so did 14, but they suck dick in boththough i have seen people cheese out wins just by mashing a, and doing the level 3 super autocombo towards the end of a game
>>493067938XIV music is slightly better, but it might be from capitalizing on classics.
>>493073582Don't know about Korean since those devs are Korean so idk if that language's quirks may or may not affect text, but in Japanese handsome and cute are considered pretty different things. If anything, afaik, female shotacons like shotas because of that cute aspect.
>>493072506She doesn't. Officially Shermie is into BIG muscles. Unofficially Shermie is into getting beat up and asphyxiation.
>>493056269Maximum Impact 2 and XIV Kyo suffer not only from being overdesigned, but it's clear the influence of his female fandom has taken a toll on him since it feels like they were trying to make him prettier, like he's part of some band
>Dopey, smiling KulaIt really was over for her as soon as the bankruptcy happened
>>493019160No, but SNK are trying their best to look like morons when it comes to character development.
>>493080471Does Band of Fighters count?
>>493048479>>EX moves locked to MAXKOF shouldn't have EX moves anyway, leave those to Capcuck games.
>>493086119>KOF shouldn't have EX moves anywayFuck off boomer
>>493071897>Shermie's more fun as a grappler imoAgreed in terms of actually gameplay, but Vice's straightforward brutality in her moves sells me a bit more on her than Shermie's bubbly facade.
>>493088658Yeah I like the way Vice acts more. Wish they'd bring back Cannibal Corpse

Supposedly he told SNK that they made simple controls too hard to find in the demo build and because of that alot of journo types where missing out on seeing & doing cool shit. He also told SNK they should make the SPG super also be one button in that mode and in general probably have simple controls be the default scheme.

>>493111502>How did Andy Bogard get to Japan despite being so young?Probably met Hanzo at Jeff's funeral or Tung sent him there.
>>493064732I'd be surprised if ANYONE genuinely liked Strive.>>493039138I actually sometimes wonder if I'm the only person that hates Preecha's look. I could accept two-toned hair if the primary one was actually a natural color at least, and the glasses just seem entirely unnecessary.
>>493118496No one wants used goods, anon
>>493118606According to Japan, no one wants women past age of 25, even if not used. Sometimes I think Vanessa only got the mysterious husband and child to spare her the embarrassment of still being single past 30. Notice how they literally never progress past the short mention in her bio, no picture, no anything. Even Heidern's family got a picture, and they are dead.
>>493119784Maybe Vanessa is a lonely old maid who lies about having a husband and kid because she feels the alternative (being single in her 30's) would be too embarassing to admit. So she just sits at home after the day is over, in the dark, flipping between tv channels with a beer in her hand and a maudlin demeanor, until she gets to go to work the next day and pretend to be an entirely different well-adjusted person.
>>493119784I don't think we even know what gender her kid is, do we?
>>493119784just an old hasn't-been-wives taleseveral va females got married this year alone past the christmas cake age
>>493121396No, I think someone might have said somewhere it's a boy, but I can't tell if it's canon or someone's assumption based on what she says to Rock.
>>493119784>>493121753And that is all the more reason for me to still see what Bandai Namco did to Soulcalibur V as disgusting. But, I'm digressing.I'm also concerned that's why, outside that IGN interview with Oda that no one has found and provided a link, no one in their COTOW profiles has their birth years stated and that we get a vague "several years have passed" despite no one looking any older.
>>493127732Didn't they also have Nina and Anna be cryogenically frozen in Tekken 3, so they could still look young since they'd be in their forties at that time? Also, originally Sophitia was supposed to retire in Soul Calibur 2 with Cassandra being added as a replacement until they brought her back in the console version. I love that even after she got married, she still has the move where she sits on dudes' faces.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLSY8ICYiMg
>>493130469Yes, Nina and Anna were cryogenically preserved so they could get through the T2-T3 timeskip unchanged.
>>493127732>we get a vague "several years have passed" despite no one looking any older.We have it on good authority that FF:CotW takes place two years after the events of Garou:MotW.
>>493130469>I love that even after she got married, she still has the move where she sits on dudes' faces.The Soulcalibur Greeks love their hip attacks.
>>493131735Steve's a test tube baby, and Nina wants nothing to do with him, so it's a little complicated.
>>493108442She's one year younger than me.Are you older than Mai, /neog/?
>>493137353Older than Mai in the year CotW takes place or older than Mai would be in the current actual year
>>493088160He's right, EX moves are a vice and honestly they shouldn't be in fighting games because most developers just make them strict upgrades to their meterless versions or they take away attributes from the meterless version and slap them to EX for lazy balancing.EX Moves that are sidegrades like Kyo's running hitgrab becoming a command grab are sadly not the norm. If EX moves were all like this move? Then maybe they would be fine.
>>493139719Is Rock's Double Reppuken still an EX move in XV?
>>493139719>EX moves are a vice
>>493140843yes
It's over bros. You can't talk about COTW/SNK on /v/ without being called a spic shill and how it won't be as popular as SF6.
>>493139719that's the fault of people making ex moves the way they are, not the fault of the conceptex moves were a thing in darkstalkers 1 and is why they are called that in the first place>>493143138thought you all didn't care about them casuals on /v/!
>>493143906*forgot to note that ex moves were the names of supers in ds and ds1 called what we call ex moves now "es moves" but still
>>493144103and afterwards sf3 formalized the concept of ex moves in name
>>493053043Mature is more sadistic in her paizuri torture. She will start out sweetly, gently enveloping your manhood in her soft, pillowy bosom. Her hot breath will wash over the tip, as she eggs you on, begging you to come. However, once your body starts twitching, she will deny you the pleasure of cumming. Her fingers will cut off the flow of semen expertly, while she still smothers your cock in her maneating breasts. Eventually, you will nearly pass out from the overload of stimulation, and your cum will leak out in huge, flaccid spurts.Vice would be the opposite. She would make you cum FAST and HARD, but there will be no breaks or downtime between climaxes. Her huge tits will suffocate your dick, her breasts large enough to crush your balls alongside your throbbing meat, as if she were swallowing you whole with her busty chest alone. You will cum, and cum, and cum some more, until nothing is coming out anymore. And then she'll keep on squeezing you dry, never stopping in her relentless assault.
sf fag here, I'm starting to look into cotw because the drive system in 6 is driving me fucking crazy and I want to know what character in fatal fury would you say will be closest to Dhalsim/ilmb zoner, and if there isn't a character that really fits that function than just tell me who is the lamest zoner in fatal fury in general that I could play.
>>493149224probably billy? cotw doesnt really seem like the game of zoning
>>493149224snk's never had a dhalsim-like character and billy is about the closest keepout character in the series, but it only really works out on his kind of stage where you can't manually move between lanes
>>493145593VICE AND MATURE OWE ME PAIZURI TORTURE. BOTH OF THEM. AT THE SAME TIME.
>>493149224No Dhalsim function in SNK games. For zoner, Marco's fireball is fast like Akuma in SF6.
>>493149224If Billy Kane is like he was in older games... he is your man.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zoeyS1UQsohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzFdoA_LvO4
>>493149224>sf fag here, I'm starting to look into cotw because the drive system in 6 is driving me fucking crazy and I want to know what character in fatal fury would you say will be closest to Dhalsim/ilmb zonerDhalsim is sort of one of a kind, the only close comparison isn't even in Fatal Fury, it's KOF's Whip and she's not really THAT comparable. Though if you needed a poke based zoner, then Billy Kane is closer to what you're looking for, but he's more like the proto-Axl Low if anything. If you wanted to lame someone out you could also use Kain.
>>493149224Fatal Fury's de facto "big button zoner" is Billy.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLh2iAOOPnk
>>493164670Than who is the best fireball zoner? I alt JP and Guile in SF6 so I have no problem playing a projectile/alterative zoners if the series don't really have a Sim type.
Sweaty Puta
>>493169442Kain is the closest you're getting he uses charge inputs but you already play Guile so you'll be fine.

>>493047725>Did anyone else besides me like KOF XIVI like it a lot, but it's a redundant game with KOF15 refining the mechanics and the returning characters from KOF14 getting new moves. I also like how every climax is a QCB-HCF C+D meaning you don't have to learn seldom use moves for each character. The only reason you would want to go back to KOF14 is if you really want to play characters exclusive to that game.>>493048479>crouch B into MAX mode: the game>EX moves locked to MAX>Newcomers were mostly shit>Unplayable netcode>It was garbageI wouldn't say garbage, but it is definitely flawed.
>>493067398>KOF XV HAS AUTO-COMBOS WHAT THE FUCK?????????They're shit, completely normie trap.
>>493175465>completely normie trap.though the irony is normies avoided the game so it didn't trap them
>>493145593holy fuck
>>493139719>He's right,No he isn't and you're a dumbass for suggesting it. Imagine making the case for no supermoves. That's what you're doing right here.

>tfw Capcom acknowledges Kyo more than SNKhttps://x.com/CAPCOM_AWT/status/1831489927147581772
SNK is releasing a Vol 1 and Vol 2 collection of SNK games:https://www.snk-corp.co.jp/official/acaneogeoselection/Just wish they would release a collection of KOF 94-XI and Metal Slug series with online support.
>>493225821After Kyo stole the one bit of and shine Ryo had in KOF for fucking decades, I could care less about Kyo getting shafted. Ryo being the one to stop and beat berserk Shun and get him to change his worldview and start opening up was such a goodass moment. Not to mention a great way of showing respect to a legend who's been getting the short end of the stick forever and then they went and gave credit for that to Kyo in XV and worst of all did nothing with it than use it for more unnecessary Kyowank. So as far as I'm concerned fuck Kyo and fuck Kyofags.
>>493227123Ryo is boring as fuck>dude i'm a shoto clone, join my dojo lmao
>>493229032Nta, but that's kind of what happens when a character is getting shafted for years, the stuff that could actually made him more than just a cardboard cutout gets buried somewhere deep in old background stories on a website far away. I'm surprised they actually remembered his love for motorcycles in XV.
So this is why Vice and Mature didn't appear until now.https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/122065027#manga
>>493225821Eh who cares.
>>493229032>cool character sucks when he's flanderized to shit after years of being shafted and constantly made the butt of a jokeYeah no fucking shit.
>>493229970>his love for motorcyclesHonestly considering his motivations for fighting, actual fiscal issues, and aforementioned enthusiasm for biking he always struck me as highly distinct as a fighting game character from Ryu (who interestingly has more in common with Terry Bogard). His moveset isn't even comparable since the only move he has in common with Ryu is something resembling a dragon punch.
>>493229032i hate the whole oblivious shit t king's advancesthis is why every fucking aof team ending has been a joke for two decades
>>493234064>the only move he has in common with Ryu is something resembling a dragon punch.>fireball>advancing kick movenow now, let's not be fucking disingenuous
>>493234728The "fireball" originally had a limited range and covered a broader area. Still does if the interpretation of Ryo isn't trying to make him MORE Ryu-like for some reason as some versions in KoF have. The advancing kick move doesn't even look or like a tatsu or fill the same function. With those criteria you could make an argument for Chun-li, Liu Kang, and Andy Bogard being "shotos".
>>493235050>The "fireball" originally had a limited rangeOnly if your spirit was low, dumb newfagThank you for showing that you don't know what you're talking about

>>493226913>physical Gooood.
>>493234064It's why I'm not a fan of them toning back his more city boy traits to just make him a pure fight autistic like Ryu. It just doesn't fit him. He can be autistic over karate but he should still be streetwise and no his way around a conversation. For fucks sake, he RAISED Yuri on his own in fucking South Town since he was like 13. There's no way he'd be oblivious about half the shit he is.

I watch the OVAs dubbed because they have the same degree of cheesiness as old SNK translations
>>493226913>doing this instead of releasing the UM games and the latter 2 metal slugsanything to avoid tapping the gold mines they sit on.
>>493238297Yeah, at least Ryu has the excuse he grew up in the middle of nowhere with no human contact other than Gouken and Ken.
>>493248993I did too. Makes all the complaints here about COTW having an English dub hypocritical because I'm sure most of us in /snkg/ had to have went with the dubs for the OVAs.
>>493257281>kidstheres noneher eggs are expired
>>493257281Andy: "Seriously, Mai. Why are you black?"
>>493253856All the complaints about COTW having an English dub are from one person, from what I've seen. Besides, the game will probably have an option for the Japanese voices anyway. So, the complaints just come off as elitism. And yeah, back then there weren't many options to watching stuff subbed unless you had bootleg VHS tapes.
>>493259828>All the complaints about COTW having an English dub are from one personI think you're pretty retarded and don't understand you're in 4chan and not Twitter

>SNK can't make a game that's appealing to anyone and that's an actual success so they have to resort to making not Street Fighter/SF6 without slime and complete with modern controls(that are currently be advised by Max Dood, a Capdrone)>Also have to have Capcom advertise their characters, that 90% of people care more about in said company's game than theirsWhat a fucking shame. And they still won't even play it anyway because it won't have a Capcom logo on it and Street Fighter in the title.
>>493342068I'd rather see SNK go bankrupt again than waste my money on an IP as generic and forgettable as Fatal Fury.

>>493343247Calm down, Kyobro.
So, when can we expect the next character trailer?
>>493343247Nah I think Fatal Fury is a way better investment than KOF. That said, I think they should have done a new take on the lane-system again, rather than make the franchise even more not Street Fighter(more than it already was anyway). I think it's a detriment and will bring comparisons. Also because I don't want Capniggas to be attracted. I just don't.>>493344105100% Tokyo Game Show later this month.

SNK should be in that spot Arcsys took. They should be the ones hanging with Cap and Bamco when people think about Fighting Games. After all SNK has done for the genre. It's just not fair...

>>493354872>OpenBORthose games are usually brazilian trash>>493344738beat em ups are fucking dated garbage, nothing of value was lost
>>493352175As much as I would love nothing more than for Andy to have finally filled Mai up with little ninja babies, even I know SNK doesn't have the balls for it. At best they might just finally have him pop the question after all these years, if even that. Just let the little guy cope.
>>493354460Really, KOF 15 was the only real chance to date that SNK could have potentially hit it big and become more well-known. It released when covid was a still a thing and everyone was still at home so wanted games to play, SNK still had a little mindshare do to Terrance in party bros, and new Fighting Games were sparse. Unfortunately though, it was too ugly, too hard, filtered even "pro" FGC players like Punk, had jackshit for content, broken online, and more. It was all really a terrible showing for SNK when people had eyes on them the most, and when they could have capitalized on the wasteland of Fighting Games then. Even if COTW turns out to be the best playing FG in years or something, it just won't really matter at this point. It's too late. All the big boys have come out, and GG has already cemented it's place. There's nothing COTW will bring that will really turn heads. I mean it will be fun to play, but seeing what's the most popular FGs are right now, gameplay seemingly isn't what matters anymore.
>>493321251These have been available for years, worst Korea barely approved them.

According to this tweet, they are finished sharing concept art and will post posters for the games, starting with 94. Disappointingly, the concept art stopped at 03 and posted twice about 99 and 96. Assuming they don't skip a game, they will have barely enough days to post a poster for each game up to 15 but skipping the UMs.So far this "celebration" has been quite disappointing.https://x.com/KOFstudio_en/status/1831844793887957189

>>493386047Because people have been pointing out all these cameos for like a while fucking year
>>493387889In 1997 no one gave a shit for pixels. Polygons were The Thing of the Day™.Masterpieces from those years like Castlevania SOTN, Last Blade, Garou, Policenauts, SF III, Megaman X... were niche or flops. Condescending is the best the got from the media of the day."2D pixels... c'mon is 1999"Anything else is revisionism.
The HyperNeoGeo 64 was also considerably more expensive than the MVS so that's also why it flopped, arcades were used to the cheap MVS machines and games
>>493389213Definitely one of the worst aspects of the 90's videogame scene. Magazine reviewers were ruthless. Funny how nowadays you look at the selfsame polygonal games and they look shit compared to sprites, which most have come to accept as a form of art (even if many still act like a game using sprite graphics is "lesser" compared to 3D). Makes me wonder what those same reviewers think now, or if they even still care about games.
>>493381526Journo mashing lol. You can tell one of the devs came around and switched them to easy controls after seeing how lost they were.
>>493390398The MVS was with the big boys, don't be stupid.
>>493380657Just 3 years? How are they planning to compete with the likes of SF6 and T8 when they keep dropping support for their games that soon? No one will invest into this game seriously.
>>493379676He could easily come up with excuses as to why he's not ready while Mai is constantly nagging him about it, it could probably be the new running jokeI'm not saying they won't 100% have kids, but I wouldn't be surprised if they don't either.
>>493396623SNK doesn't care about your impregnation fetish anon.
>>493396091SNK was definitely as big as those globally from the early to mid 90s, it's self centered to think otherwise. Konami wasn't more popular as an arcade player either.

>>493398194>>493397774I've also been into arcades and I've never seen a Konami machine. Hence why my point that it's self centered to say stuff like that when you're only referring to your country.
>>493398574NTA but shut the fuck up, retard
>>493400421Your argument is retarded. Yes 3rd world countries used to import SNK's machine more than anyone but most of the places you're referring to didn't have official arcade boards as they mostly used bootleg cabinets for everything not just SNK games. The MVS was everywhere in places like Asia and even Euro territories, and it's not something you could've missed back then. Sorry Konamifag but your home was always nintendo consoles.
Can we get this racist retard banned? he's not even funny he's just a pathetic idiot with some dumb headcanon
>>493381526Since Marco can't use breaks in Smart Style does that mean he basically loses all his DP routes?
Why is there so many schizos in here? The mai schizo, kyo schizo, the bbc boxer schizo, and etc. Is it just an SNK thing?
>>493380657They acknowledge how stupid the FF characters act in KOF in comparison to their own home series, interesting.Also they seem keen on actually making KOF be "the All-Star festival" franchise again like that one anon was saying rather than have it be focused on story like Fatal Fury.
>>493404520Every general has its schizos.
>>493404520Schizos and ritual posting is what makes a general a general.
>>493404901>Also they seem keen on actually making KOF be "the All-Star festival" franchise againThat's what made the franchise popular in the first place so makes sense. Can't see them dropping the story for KOF characters tho.
>>493380657And KOF only got two and a quarter
>you're consider a schizo on here because you think it makes sense, if not outright warranted, that a game that's set in not-Miami to maybe feature some black american chars and maybe for said black americans to be paired with the style of martial arts that they're most famously known for innovating and popularizing rather than goofy cornball tropes for anime nerds like black man but he is a samurai/karate expert. And btw if wanting authentic looking, true to the sport boxers like Hawk & Max over reddit darlings like Reservation Rick makes me a schizo than I'll happily be that. Sorry, but you're never going to convince me that a T hawk looking nigga in gay tribal gear is a believable boxer. That shit is CORNY af.
>>493393175Yeah...
>>493410448Not dropping it but I won't be be surprised that the next entries will continue to have the same amount of story as XV. They basically said that they don't really give a shit about KOF's story.
>>493415119No one is saying your point doesn't have merit. The problem is that you don't shut the fuck up about it.
>>493415119SNK characters and games are for those same anime nerds you're crying about
>>493415119It's not just that you keep pushing Michael Max and Axel Hawk, but also you keep tearing down Rick Strowd at the same time, and that's not cool.
>>493410448But we also didn't have any FF or AOF for a long time. I've said this before, but I feel it's gotten to the point where characters like Terry, Mai, Ryo, and Athena are more well known for being in KOF more than the series they originated from. I wouldn't be surprised if the people who think this way are the ones throwing fits over Terry and Mai making guest appearances in other games and appearing in recent promotional art, but not Kyo.>>493415119By your logic, Hinako isn't a true sumo wrestler because she's not a fat guy.
>>493416317To say nothing of tearing down established already-confirmed characters like Marco.
>>493416317It's kind of funny that he calls SNK racist, while also saying Rick isn't a true boxer because he isn't black.

3 years of DLC would be what? Like 12 characters? I think it's alright.

>>493435551Because SNK tends to promise things they never deliver, remember how Kyo was supposed to have alternate costumes in XV? Or how every team was going to have story relevance and that's why they were picked?
>>493444842Yes and I also remember when every base character was supposed to appear in the Obari short.
>wake up>racist fag with the mai preggo fetish got bannedgood job mods
>>493354460it's totally the trannie xionistic arcapcomsys cabal brainwashing people and sabotaging snk mmhmm yes that is the only explanation it can't be anything like snk doesn't present themselves as big timeglobal top ten aaa publisher here we comeshutter all exemptions
>>493404901>Also they seem keen on actually making KOF be "the All-Star festival" franchise againi don't know if it was me who said it because i can't remember shit rnbut i damn well do agree with the sentiment99 irked me because it was showing movement into becoming its own beast away from that>>493399773>I've also been into arcades and I've never seen a Konami machine.you couldn't go anywhere without seeing at least one of the four player (or six player xmen) multiplayer arcade games by konami back in the very early 90s before sf2 eruptedi've even legit seen a bucky o'hare machine in a chuck e cheese when i was at some friend's bd party>all that arguing over mai with a kidlmao

the slowmo on this one was so satisfying, z0mg
Since they said they're planning on a new AoF, you guys think they'll cover the Jeff and Hanzo vs Krauser fight?
>>493460191those aren't aof characters
>>493460191>>493462207Still, it depends on when AoF4 is set. If it's after AoF2, then it's likely during that gap in time after Geese got ran out of town by Ryo but before he came back and killed Jeff. It's very possible to see an active Jeff Bogard.
>>493460191I imagine it will have a mostly new cast outside of Ryo, Robert, Yuri, King and Kasumi.
>>493466653>no Mr. Big>no Takuma/Mr. Karate>no Lee Pai Long>no Eiji>no JIN FU-HA>no Geese DLCYou imagine being wrong.Hell, I can see them give Jack and John a chance, only cutting Mickey and Temjin from the roster of the second game.AOF3 characters not named Kasumi or Jin are fucked though.
>>493469321Heh, i dunno if SNK really cares about most of the AOF cast.
>>493471183Considering most of them have yet to appear in KOF, I can definitely see it.
>>493471183I don't disagree, but I also think it's fair to think that SNK aren't making over 15 new characters for a new game.
>>493462710Jeff would be a really good character to have in AoF. I also think the new one will be some kind of reboot like the latest Samsho
>>493473709this, but mainly because 15 chances to try and come up with one player character design that actually catches the internet by storm and failing would be worthy of some kind of guinness book world record
Anyone else miss this old Ryo stance?
>>493469321SNK already dumped most of them in AoF3.
>>493481775I miss the NGBC one, kinda sad that they changed his stance the the old AoF one for the latest games. This one is cool too.
>>493482473It's basically Takuma's but that makes sense since that game had Ryo as Mr. Karate.
>>493481905Yeah, they clearly dumped characters like Yuri and King and Takuma.You're either a dumbass or a disingenuous faggot. If it's the former, educate yourself on what AOF3 is and why it's that way, if it's the latter, kys.
>>493481775>old Ryo stancePic unrelated?
>>493462710maybe they can just arrange some old ideas that never got made, like now with city of the wolves, pic related is supposed to be some sort of geese storyline with some nun and one of the guys looks like takuma
>>493486792Yeah, there was a cancelled game about young Geese and his story.
Why do you guys here hate Street Fighter and Street Fighter fans so much?
>>493487114Annoying as fuck, especially the ones who come from /fgg/.
>>493486323He hasn't used that stance in years since every game after XII uses the AOF stance, so it's definitely old.
>>493487114Like street fighter...for the most part. Hate the fans. Simple as.
>>493343272
D00DS
>>493487114Street Fighter I'm mixed on, the fanbase however has been insufferable as shit for a while because in their eyes, Street Fighter is the only fighting game series that exists. It's very easy to tell apart Street fighter-only players and people who have played a variety of fighting games.
>>492761668same shit happened today with the DBFZ patch kek
>>493492505Would you be okay with a bearded Terry?
>>493500665did he get destroyed?clip please
>>493396194nobody is expecting capcom or namco to make another fighting game which is very fucking sad but thats just how they are
>>493487114i like the games but street fighter fans are the fighting game version of the average world of warcraft fan
>>493500665>Max fraudimillion getting exposed againColor me shocked
King, Vice and Mature are dykes and Shion, Ash, Preecha and Benimaru are trannies. Change my mind
>>493500665You can't say this and not post a clip
>>493506101>but King loves RyoKing dresses like a dude. That alone screams "dyke">but Vice and MatureThey have the heads of male characters>but Shion and Ash are femboysFemboys are closet trannies, Shion is FTM like Benimaru. Ash may as well say he has "the heart of a woman" or some other tranny shit because there is no reason for him to act so womanly>but PreechaBoy's name, implants, tranny flag hair color, bio says "she" left the family due to disagreements and misunderstandings
>>493504361The game will get it's support cut off after 3 years and everyone will abandon it soon, if not completely avoid getting into it long term since they know it won't have a decent lifespan. We'll also have to deal with retards saying that it flopped again.SNK needs to focus on one fighting game.
we deserve better trollsat least they should be funny
>>493500665Liar
>>493513456anon most games only have support for about 3-4 years and most people are absolutely fine with that if a company plans to make more games and it's not like people still wont play them unless something ends up horribly wrong
>>493513456>SNK needs to focus on one fighting game.one game is all they can work on at a time
we deserve better charactersat least they shouldn't pander to fujoshits and delusional men in dresses
>>493415340>the punchline is cropped porn geddit?
>>493516542So this is how Mai will look from now on. RIP, classic kunoichi outfit
>>493415119dumb black
>>492784167I hope the only boxer they add to the game is either a white woman or a Japanese guy.
>>493506101King wore male clothing to be taken seriously as a fighter back then, but between buying cafes in London and America, and paying her brother's hospital fees, she realized she is too poor to buy new clothing. She can't even change the pink outfit that shrunk in wash and got real tight.
>>493403493I wouldn't read too much into anything regarding Smart right now because Oda & co have completely changed their mind on it. A couple months ago the devs specifically told Jwong & James Chen that their goal for Smart Style was for it to be a onboarding tool not an alternative control scheme like Modern in SF6. The expectation was that Smart users would need to transition to Arcade but now, based on their recent comments & some changes they've made in the newest build, they want Smart Style to be exactly what Modern Controls is to SF6 in terms of competitive viability.
>>493516340>we deserve better charactersSay no more
>>493503659I can see older Terry imitating Jeff.
>>493525486>because Oda & co have completely changed their mindas usual of what they say and what they ultimately do
>>493516542That's fantastic.
When is she coming back?
>>493538507That's got me thinking, could any of Kim's KOF teammates appear in City of Wolves, even if just as cameos? I think Chang and Choi do appear in one or two of his Fatal Fury endings.
>>493526671>the punchline is porn of one of the most mid characters SNK ever shat out geddit?
>>493516542Imagine If they update this Garou with this Mai...Too bad actual Snk is soulless af even with the oil money
Finally gave KoF a real chance with this XV sale and holy shit didn't realize what a chamber of suffering I'd locked myself into only really playing SF6 the last year. Forget that it doesn't have to be like that. Not gonna say SF6 is a bad game necessarily but just mechanically I didn't realize how frustrated I'd gotten with it until I got into something else.
>>493546154KOF is gonna teach you how to be honest again.
>>493538507I think SNK genuinely hates her as much as original design K9999, so she probably isn't coming back for a while.She's missed getting birthday shoutouts twice now ever since they've started, whereas more obscure characters get shoutouts.>>493516542This actually surprisingly fits with MOTW's sprite style but for some reason in 3D it just looks super plain, maybe its the hair not being altered honestly.
>>493539462Kim was once in team with Terry, so yes. But otherwise I think Chang and Choi would at best show up again as cameo. They didn't even consider them for KOFXV, can't imagine there would be much enthusiasm to make them playable in CotW. Jhun's and Gang-il's chances are even worse, one hasn't been seen in ages, the other is unpopular.Luong, I don't know. She is relatively popular, but if they do include her it would be better as agent, her teasing Kim in two series would be just boring.
>>493546154SF6 and T8 are the games that are designed to stress you out, and piss you off in multiple ways due to their volatility. KOFXV is comparatively a much MUCH more relaxing game because its less random than those 2. The question is if COTW has gameplay stability.
>>493550621>She's missed getting birthday shoutouts twice now ever since they've started, whereas more obscure characters get shoutouts.She is mentioned by name in Kim's KOFXV interview as one of his former teammates. That's as good as it gets for her right now.
>>493550992>KOFXV is comparatively a much MUCH more relaxing game because its less random than those 2.Even though it's considered significantly faster than SF?>The question is if COTW has gameplay stability.To our knowledge, COTW has no universal neutral skip. Its equivalent to Drive Impact is locked behind SPG, too.
>>493553638>To our knowledge, COTW has no universal neutral skip. Its equivalent to Drive Impact is locked behind SPG, too.Then again, every character also gets a universal overhead/low crush and high crush, and you get a sick slow-mo effect when it works.
>>493546712Yeah for the longest time when I wasn't having fun I was flip flopping between is it SF6 or is it me? Do I even like fighting games anymore? And I've realized I just don't really care for the overall philosophy of 6. The volatility doesn't feel rewarding to me. I get why it's popular though. Hoping I can find what I've been missing in XV.
>>493553638>Even though it's considered significantly faster than SF?KoF is faster but SF6 is built around twitchy mechanics and brutal RPS. The mental stack meme lingo has some real basis. It really needs longer sets.
>>493516340>we deserve better charactersAnd you got them.
>>493554048Move to Soul Calibur 6, it's fun!
>>493555086Truly the best newcomer, together with Kukri.
>>493553638>Even though it's considered significantly faster than SF?Yes actually because you don't have to worry about getting blown up by a thousand different neutral skips or getting countered by random tap perfect parries. KOF is very light on these types of mechanics for the time being. The most you have to worry about in XV are shatter strike and advanced strike, and neither are very overbearing on neutral.
>>493553638REV Blow is honestly more akin to shatter strike since neither have guard point on frame 1, it takes 3-4 frames later for the guard point to kick in for both of them. This is actually really significant since it means it can't ever have a dominating effect on neutral in the way drive impact can.
>>493540419I liked her. I found her design and moveset fun.
>>493559540Her design and personality are also cool. Oda is fucking gay, holy shit. What a waste.
>>493556997Always baffled that Drive Parry seems to cause the least vitriol. Scrubs hate DI and the community in general is frustrated by Drive Rush but tap parry seems by far the most belligerent mechanic in the game. Even post nerf it's just too rewarding for such little effort or risk.
>>493563751People argued about parries when it was the signature defensive mechanic of Street Fighter 3. Tons of people said bringing parries back for SF6 is a bad idea.
>>49356603608ers and their uninformed glazing of 3S ruined the future for all of us. Now every other game is putting parries in because le Daigo moment
>>493563751>Scrubs hate DI and the community in general is frustrated by Drive Rush but tap parry seems by far the most belligerent mechanic in the game.Tap parry is criticized a lot, but I think people deep down realize it can't leave because otherwise you would have to rework so many attacks in sf6 that were designed to justify parry.Most of SF6 is held together by an extremely fragile battle system. Recently a google doc detailed about the issues of offense being made braindead in these newer fighting games, and it said>If I were to talk about about programming design philosophies, we can consider that this Drive System is a system that is tightly coupled with cascading consequences. >If we remove throw loops, perfect parry is now too strong. If we change drive rush frame data, the combos in the game drop and the oki no longer functions. If I were to decrease a character's button startup by one, it may give them unintended links, but adding 1 frame of startup may ruin their entire combo structure.https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uc5Y-fjbSfMycUvWyjujFZA4A0KRxN5tLm-kVj7IR2k/editHere's to hoping COTW does not fall into SF6's battle system pitfalls.
>>493568154Is Just Defend any better, though?
>>493568306Just Defend doesn't cancel out all blockstun and still incurs block pushback. It is absolutely better because it's not an automatic I win counter like parry is. The most you can get from just defend are supers but that's really it.
>>493568418You can JD special cancel, but that costs Rev meter.
>>493568216https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_gW9Nox810The 2.5 hour video that goes with that script.
>>493487468Dedicated communities for older SF games are generally pretty chill. ST and A3 had some cool people. Scene for current SF though is a cancer bin.
>>493571539Alphachads are fine. Third Strike community are annoying as shit and the SFII diehards are weirdly elitist for what's borderline kusoge
>>493571798I never had much of a problem with the SF2 scene. A game of ST's popularity is bound to be a mixed bag but the ones I've met in person were cool. They're just big on you respecting whatever's in the game whether it's stupid or not, because the game doesn't care. Play around it or don't compete. And there's some cool levels of passion around some of the older entries like CE.
>>493559540>>493562124she is cool
>>493487114I fell off Street Fighter V instantly when it tried to install a rootkit on my PC and tried to call it an anti-cheat, and I've never been back to the series. The storytelling and mechanics of the series since then hasn't appeared to have gotten much better.
>>493572870Plus, I like underdogs, and Street Fighter has enough champions to sing its praises. I like variety in my scenes, and that means pushing up titles that I think deserve a shot.
>>493578574Translate it weebs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezV5JHX7O1o>SNK are aces when it comes to revitalizing their IPs, putting out AA hits constantly and keeping them in the conversation; Capcom should honestly take lessons from them on how to refresh their IPs>There is no SNK IP that isn't off the table for a revival>Except the Neo Geo 64 titles; Buriki One is staying dead>>493578574It's just a montage of thoughts about shipping the KOFG protagonist with Angel.
>>493578832See >>493579036
>>493579036Issue is Capcom wants to be a modern AAA company with the ballooning budgets and zero risks that that entails while SNK is fine being AA and just selling modestly.
>>493568306>>493568418You do realize that you can guard cancel into a breaking special then repeat it as many times as the juggle counter allows it and end it with Super right?Garou is much more degenerate than 3S and the only thing GD does over parry is filter people with weak fingers.
>>493571798>Third Strike community are annoyingYou mean people who pretend to be Third Strike fans right? The actual community is pretty chill as far as i know.
