Ganacci can be pretty funny. His clips are surreal and he does crazy shit like start his own show by booing himself out in the audience. I don't even like EDM crap and even I still heard of him. the Horse video was fucking legendary.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkRkuI0ZgX0

>>520647546Internet. Internet.
>>520648271Yesterday the thread had a fun conversation about arcade/story mode, the EOST and similar modes from other games.It's kinda easy to now when people are here just to shit post.
K N E E L
>>520648271I don't have Street Fighter 6. I can love SNK games and stories while also shitting on their marketing for being incompetent. The Salvatore character trailer is literally no fucking different than the Kevin Rian trailer. The difference is they put more effort explaining why Salvatore is in the game than Kevin Rian because they expect you to already know who Kevin Rian is, which is the same fucking shit the OP said about SalvatoreQuit being retarded because it's SNK's fault for being bad at presenting their games. I already have it preordered
>>520648271BETTER THAN A RAPIST AND A FUCKING RANDOM DJ

>>520649370fuck off
CR7 has posted again about Fatal Furyhttps://x.com/Cristiano/status/1908867553469800598
>>520649649Can't wait for him to give a fake soulless speech about how he was an active FG enjoyer.
>>520649426How about promoting more than just the fucking character roster so people have a reason to be interested in the game to begin with? The copious amount of seethe from SNK not doing guest characters right is in part due to them not showing off more of the game and what it has to offer. Even the commercial they released is complete fucking ass>>520649482You don't have to because you never wanted to in the first place. It's just an excuse not to care
What was the thing Oda said about reintroducing the characters to a new audience? What happened to that anyways? no way he lied again right?
>>520649737> You don't have to because you never wanted to in the first place. It's just an excuse not to careClassic shill response.
>>520649737They don't have anything else in the game. It's just KOFXV content with a Street Fighter Alpha 3 World Tour
>>520649873MotW characters haven't been seen in 26 years and the datamines literally have characters like Duck, Alfred, Rick and Krauser>>520649945You cry shill because you have no real argument. It's apparently this easy to mind break people so I hope Tom Holland gets added to Street Fighter 6 just to see the melt down from that
>>520650249>>520646043
Did the datamining find all minigames?
>>520650230Then show off the SFA3 world tour more in depth. They went in-depth with the system mechanics, what's wrong with reminding people they have more than just pvp shit in their full price video game?
>>520650376>"03_EOST_Home_021": "Arm Wrestling",>"03_EOST_Home_020": "Bottle Breaking",Looks like it's just these two
Snk, if you're reading this, please listen to me. If your AAA game doesn't have (webm related) then forget it. It will be another flop like COTW and the chances of becoming a AAA company by 2033 will decrease significantly. So please don't be gay like Andy. I want you guys to succeed. That's it. Thank you. Peace.
>>520650392>Then show off the SFA3 world tour more in depthShow off what? Endless CPU battles and the same 2 minigames? Even the story is minimal so if they show that off then nothing will be left.
>>520651232Stop being chinese
>>520651232They might add one later, if you support the game.
>>520651232Now post her without mods and the Chinese snow bunny sissy hypnosis>>520651283Somehow the Mai trailer is the only one that had cutscenes in it for whatever reason. It doesn't have to be the entire mode, just an in-depth overview that's a few minutes like their system mechanics trailer instead of being buried in an overview trailer and skimmed over like the color edit mode. Something I can share with friends and be like "the game also has this" so they don't just immediately shrug off potential interest with "I don't play SNK games"

Apparently 70% of the residents used to be addicted to narcotics, making it nothing if not a death trap—though the festive, musical mood that forever permeates the place (a by-product of its large population of young people, perhaps) would have you believe otherwise.

>>520658435I'm not a Fatal Fury fan, but I think all this drama is stupid. You guys should be grateful that these two characters are giving the game visibility. Outside of the FGC, no one knew about its existence until Ronaldo and Salvatore were announced. There will be room in future seasons for literal whos like Jae and Freeshit. Stop crying and enjoy being the center of attention.

>>520662348they're not giving the game visibilitythe second beta after ronaldo was revealed didn't breach 10k players. the reaction from sports gamers will be "WOO RONALDO YEAHH" and then violently ignoring every gaming franchise that isn't named FIFA like they always have. Salvatore Ganacci isn't even particularly famous in comparison. MAYBE if people like ishowspeed play (and enjoy and advocate for) fatal fury the game has a chance to get a base over 10k. BIG maybe. otherwise no it's fucked.
the 40 year old men breaking down in tears over salvatore is funny, and I have many, many more hours in fighting games and even SNK games than all of them drop videogames and pick up a book if meme picks hurt your feelings
>>520646043see i don't lie to myself like this, i just said i don't mind the guest characters, but i don't know who this guy or the soccer man are and don't care to learn, and i don't get who it's for and it's kind of desperate, him and ronald mcdonaldand i'm not going to flipflop to pretend one thing or anotherhowever they got some neat gameplay so it's like w/e i'd enjoy that partand clearly i have a lot more room to say these things without pretense because i regularly shit on snkso you can tell it comes from a genuine place instead of it coming from an snk dff nerd who'd come to the defense of stuff like kof destiny like a geek, which normalfags would take one look at and think is ugly and stupid looking and pass on it, just like the nu-kof non-sprite games
>>520649737None of your suggestions are going to sell a single copy, retard. You know Jack shit about advertising, you fucking imbecile.
>>520662348Go beg your favorite developer to add them into your game if you care so much about them
>>520667458And you're a dumb nigger posting on 4chan
>>520667475Shut your bitch ass up. The guest characters didn't take spots from your literally whos.
>>520667701Imagine defending guests you don't care about in a game you also don't care about. You're subhuman filth at it's finest.
>arcsys puts in characters from RWBS in their tag crap>sf6 has tmnt dlc, rohto Z and redbull plastered everywhere>tekken has clive and more sponsor crap everywhere>everyone has a muslim character>kof15 even has a riyadh stageI can imagine oda's pure confusion at the rage. especially because the game got funding in a large part over them.
>>520667701This thread and by extension the larger SNK fanbase at large literally do not realize that. Cut content is content that actually has, you know, precedence for being in the game in the first place. And the only content like that in the datamine is Andy, Joe and Mr. Big. These DLC characters are objectively cut content, but it's being readded at a later date for free. The guest characters only pushed back what's in the game and yet they still crunched Dong's content into base. People who cry Salvatore cut Duck King legitimately do not understand or believe maybe SNK wasn't going to add Duck King immediately to the roster. Especially since dude has always been added to revisions of games post-release like Akuma has. Because he's a popular character, but not a priority characterNone of Freeman's data implies he was even considered to begin with. He's an objective roster cut, but that wasn't because of the guests. And if people want to bitch about characters like Andy and Joe not being base roster, they have one game to blame for treating them as expendable
Game fun, and I like the music. Don't care if they added Trump. Grow up.

>>520668374Tag Battle is a crossover game. Street Fighter didn't put a playable TMNT. Clive is a guest DLC, from a video game nonetheless. No one would've cared if these two were NPCs or even had stage presence
I think Rimururu is extremely cute.Just FYI
>>520668786then don't play cotw? is that hard for you? do you want me to fill your job applications too you stupid bum?>>520668923allow me to reiterate: cotw was funded directly by the saudis, no meme picks, no game. I want cotw, I enjoy cotw, and I've bought cotw. no, ronaldo and salvatore do not dissuade me, I'm not some man child under the impression that videogames are free from goofy advertising
>>520668923>Street Fighter didn't put a playable TMNT.Which it was even worse because people expected to play as the turtles, same with Yor from SxF.
How do we know Jae has a model again?
>>520669153>I want cotw, I enjoy cotw, and I've bought cotw.Same. I'm just pointing out that your comparison doesn't make sense
>>520669153You started it and I'm responding to what you just said you fucking retarded bum
>>520668923It's goalpost moving regardless. I'm not excited for these characters but I want the rest of the game. Sure it's tiring they need to put baked in ads into their game, especially since SNK are fucking horrible at selling their own games to the point this is now where we're at. But to treat them like the end of the world or the end of SNK's integrity is fucking laughable given where they used to beTrying to say "SNK did guests wrong" also adds to the rhetoric that these fuckers can't catch a break and are just eternally cursed to play second fiddle to the rest of the industry. It's an overreaction to being presented with information that you didn't want or think was even possible to begin with and it's mindbreaking so many weak faggots who are looking for excuses to jump out of the game the first chance they get and reaffirm their beliefsI want fighting games to not be a crossover IP slopfest too but that's what makes money because fighting games are such a monumentally niche genre that any developer shitting them out needs to make money somehow. SNK puts in Saudi shill picks, Capcom developers a literal second game and attaches it to their fighting game like a leech. This is just the way shit is and there's no alternative because non-corporate fighters will never have more than like 16-character rosters tops

Finished MotW with every character and other than the bad translations, and having the same problem of the recent KOF games with the game not telling what the fuck is going on it was quite nice.There's some curious stuff too like Grant being super friendly towards Hotaru, the "Shadow" version of the bosses which was a nice touch and some rivals don't make sense like Grant vs Hokutomaru or Jenet vs Freeman.Kinda hyped to see how they will expand some of the characters stories to finish them in CotW because some of the characters doesn't seem to have much going on in MotW like Jenet, the Kim bros, Hokutomaru and Tizoc
>>520668347americans get tmnt being popular, we don't know wtf these other two guys arethe nerdier folk in america at least understand rwby being liked even if they don't necessarily like it themselves, they at least see that other people like itnone of the arab characters are really that popular from a concept point>tekken has clive and more sponsor crap everywherebut aren't people shitting on clive because it's not tifaand lately tekken in general
>>520670876Jenet and Freeman are British and Freeman was about to Jack the Ripper her. That's about it. The implication was that for specific rival battles like Kevin/Freeman or Marco was that it was a mystery for later. Shit went completely fubar when the later never happenedThing with the characters you listed though is that they're some of the more mild story entries. They didn't need cliffhangers or deep writing to be popular, they just kind of were themselves and that was their appeal. Fighting game stories will usually be about a select group of special characters (MotW's case it was Rock, Terry and Kain) and then have side stories for everyone else for the sake of roster filler. Making everyone have an arc is tough, making everyone relevant is tougherCotW looking like a game that doesn't need another game to continue and conclude story beats like MotW or even KOFXV so I think people will be able to understand "this is Fatal Fury" from this game and that's what makes me the most excited. It's one thing to get a true sequel that furthers a story along these days in an era of reboots, it's another to get actual endings
>>520669082I found her theme in SS 3 cute.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OglpGDMOd-c
>>520645568Why her face is so long?
>>520670371SamSho sure as fuck isn't mainstream. I'm making Nakoruru a teen aunt
>>520671041Clive is also not popular so he was who-ed a lot
>>520671513Joe's protegee was quite the cutie, even if she kinda looks like an amalgamation of Lynn and Pupa from Rage of the Dragons to me (not that I don't like those characters). Generally I'm not that hot on the MotW2 character designs. I suppose the the guy in the black suit is pretty cool, even if not particularly unique. Still obviously a shame they never got to finish the game considering 3/4 of it was apparently already done when SNK went under.
>>520672457It was a sign that it was a lost cause honestly. Making Neo Geo games in the 2000s was not the move and they should've moved on sooner than they did. Sticking to "what works" wasn't working like they'd hope. Also, to boast about your storytelling potential but then keep focusing on brand new characters not even bringing back any of the OGs makes you wonder why is this story set in the same universe. New generation or not, it's the decision that completely tanked Andy and Joe's reputationsBut at the same time Fatal Fury should not have taken 20 years and infinite Saudi money to get a sequel
>>520671985Took me a long whole to get the hang of SSIII. Always felt like I SHOULD like it but just didn't. Still kept going back for it until one day it clicked. It's not like I've played it that much (still prefer IV and probably II as well; I've certainly played both much more) but it's a neat game. Broken as all fuck, though. Or at least choke full of infinites and stuff.
>>520671513Stuff like older Hokutomaru and Andy possibly interacting in the game, what Joe, Billy and Mai have been doing, and why Mr. Big is there is also interesting.>it's another to get actual endingsThey probably don't do it because it will make it harder for them to do sequels and harder for them to justify some characters still being in.
Next guest character should be Shotmaker's buddy Craig Stadler.
>>520669262Don't forget the TMNT costumes were $15 each. That's $60 dollars total.
I want the undertaker and I want him to play like a pseudo rugal with a god press
>>520673931You have to aim specifically for open endings, which CotW's datamine shows they do because an actual conclusion like retiring or dying means you're writing off the character for good. It's a hard balance you need to make because when you do blatant cliffhangers like MotW, you could end up shooting yourself in the foot when you don't make a sequel like Garou did. It really hurt most of the OG Garou cast and that's why you only see Jenet, Gato and Tizoc in KOF because 2 of those characters don't have deep arcs and all 3 are disconnected from Garou's main story
>>520674485plenty of characters are popular despite being DEADcysgeese howard
>>520675876NTA but>CYSWere kept to Dream Match games until XV revived them for real.>GeeseIs implied to be a ghost or a Jin Scroll manifestation in later appearances, which actually acts as a convenient way to allow the story to take place after his death without fully retiring him or undermining his death by resurrecting him for real.
>>520675876When you revive characters you sacrifice the potential your story has for stakes which is what makes modern Dragon Ball such a fucking drag. They're done with trying to take KOF seriously as a story and just leave it be Dream Match fodder while Geese is a Nightmare Ghost so it doesn't really contradict the story, especially if you're adding him back for gameplay reasonsLet's compare with Dictator and Heihachi who respectively had>Dude this is the last game he's dead for REAL and SFIII can take place. Oopsy poopsy another body of his is back but he has no memories? Haha that's weird right, still fights the same tho>T7 didn't happen
>take fighters seriously as a story>have to handle characters aging, make 18+ characters relevant, and even kill off some characters that might be everyone's favoriteserious story and fighters don't really mix desu
>>520676639>which is what makes modern Dragon Ball such a fucking dragit is still a cultural hit that garners a lot more attention than especially kofbottom line is you can storyfag all you want, but these aforementioned characters are still going to be in demand by the playerbase even at the cost of any storytelling integritymany are saying this'fraid so
>>520677103
>>520676804Most successful fighting games are crossovers and collabs. Are people really surprised there's so much collab/crossover DLC these days? Smash and Marvel are much bigger than shit like Strive. Spinoff adaptions too, DBFZ and the new Hunter x Hunter game will get attention despite how crusty it looks>>520676983It's a hit because it doesn't require a $60 price tag minimum to get into it and actually has a story. A good one, in fact, that's why I criticize MODERN Dragon Ball for not having stakes. OG and Z (which are the same thing) has a solid, fundamental beginning, middle and end which have characters and arcs that you can easily follow without needing wiki guides to be able to gleam what the fuck is going onThe difference is night and day. SNK shit is gatekept by curiosity versus a normal fucking franchise which isn't confusing and nonsensical for no reason when experiencing it as intended or an IP slopfest like Fortnite
>>520646082>she made a funny face LOL!
>>520677898>It's a hit because it doesn't require a $60 price tag minimum to get into it and actually has a story. A good one, in fact, that's why I criticize MODERN Dragon Ball for not having stakes.bruh, they literally revived the entire earth population in the final z sagasnk is gatekept by its own incompetence and lack of ability to read the room or get anybody interested in what is going on in their games or their midcarder characters
>>520646082
>>520669153>then don't play cotw? is that hard for you? do you want me to fill your job applications too you stupid bum?I'm just amazed at this response stillI hope you fuckers don't get any new players. And fuck this thread. No way I'd be satisfied with SNK making a game you're interested in look like a joke.
>>520673985Fuck they weren't even real characters just reskins.
>>520679839>hey they did something I don't like>hmm should I not play or not play and bitch and moan to random people forever about itdo you think I'm oda? I'm not oda, I don't work for SNK, I don't care about your pissing, go rant at oda at twitter dumbfuck
>>520679103It was supposed to be the end of the series who cares at that point. Making more is just because it prints money from the good will it earned up to that point, but more so that the reboot projects they were working on were successful because GT was a tremendous flopAnyway after the last couple CotW reveals and how they've been handling PR in general it really does show whoever they hire for marketing really needs to be replaced. SNK's developers are being completely bottlenecked by higher ups who dig their own graves. But they own characters and IP I like, so unless they revamp copyright laws, I'm stuck with these dipshits if I want to see Terry Bogard in media for now>>520679839>Fighting game looks like a jokeFirst time?
>All these seething over two guest characters
>>520680442All because they didn't add a second Kim and Garou's bottom tier nobody played because he's a bottom tier character in a game nobody playsPeople really should be happy Kevin Rian is back at all if this is their rhetoric. But I guess having 11/14 characters isn't enough it NEEDED to be all 14 characters AND Duck King AND Rick Strowd AND Yamazaki AND Blue Mary etc.
>>520680620>it NEEDED to be all 14 characters AND Duck King AND Rick Strowd AND Yamazaki AND Blue Mary etc.Yeah.
>>520680724nah I've had enough of yamazaki and blue mary in KOF, they can wait for dlc desu
>>520679839it's responses like that that make me think of the whole snow white mess with rachel zeggler pissing a lot of people offand that movie didn't even recoup its humongous losses kek
>>520680620I am happy that Kevin is back, thank you.
>>520680442Guest people, actually.
>>520680724If SF6 couldn't launch with Alpha or SFIII characters what made people think SNK can make RB2+MotW the roster? Literally not coming with any content like KOFXV?Unlike XV, half of CotW's roster was made from complete scratch. There ain't no reuse assets for Hokutomaru, Kevin, Hotaru, Preecha, Vox, Ronaldo, Salvatore, Mr. Big. That's me being generous and saying characters like Marco do pull from Ryo. Now you also want Rick, Duck, Alfred, Krauser playable because you've heard of them? The only reason we're getting a new Fatal Fury specifically is because they're following up MotW's cliffhangers. Essentials are in the Season 1 roster, the cool shit comes later. If you waited 25 years for one Fatal Fury you can wait one more year for Duck King>>520681068To be fair that's also because they reshot the movie to be closer to the original and rendered unnecessary, ugly CG dwarfs to replace the cast of midgets they were planning until the one midget said it was racist and cost the job of a bunch of midget actors as a result>>520681223Good. Kevin seems actually cool in this game
What do you guys think of recent new protagonists? Not only SNK ones.I liked Yashamaru but the new Samsho didn't seem to do much with any character story wise, which is why I'm looking forward to the new Samsho with him. Shun'ei was alright but unfortunately wears those stupid clown ass clothes.The new Tekken girl looks cool and Luke looks retarded but maybe his story is alright
>people angry about kof15 reusing assets are angry about salvatore/ronaldo even though they're two characters made from scratch with unique movesetslol>>520681642reina is actually one of the most well designed tekken newcomers in a decade, it's just that she's a bit obnoxious in her actual game
>>520681462>until the one midget said it was racist and cost the job of a bunch of midget actors as a resultsounds like a guy who'd get invited to a blanket party as the main guest
>>520681642SamSho 2019 didn't really have a story to justify why Yashamaru is the protagonist. RPG better do him better because he doesn't really have many fans at the moment otherwise. I can't even say he's out of place given previous characters like Genan or Yuga, it's just he's a little too bishie like you can tell KOF infected SamSho designReina was fine but her fanbase are braindead gooners and her role in the story is now irrelevant now that Heihachi is alive. She's going to suffer the Juri curse where her developers misinterpret her popularity and make her into the most obnoxious character possibleLuke sucks, SF6 was supposed to be his game that sold us on who Luke is but SF6 treats its "new generation" as masters on the same level as the World Warriors so we don't see these characters in their prime, we see them reflecting on shit that happened off screen. Every single character is written this way in SF6, there's NO appeal in the new characters at allAnd Shun'ei feels like roster filler. Inoffensive, but not charismatic enough to be a protagonistIt's kind of incredible no modern legacy fighting game has a good new protagonist. We're still focusing on characters from the 90s because the 2000s/2010s haven't established any new faces to be justified as mainstays. We're still stuck on Juri and she's from 2010
>>520682963
>>520683447budding
>>520682613>SamSho 2019 didn't really have a story to justify why Yashamaru is the protagonistI think Samsho's story didn't do nothing for anyone, maybe Mina. It felt just like a reintroduction of the characters + a few new ones.I like Yashamaru's design and moveset so I think they can do something interesting in the new game, the weird evil mode was too much though.
>>520681642I like Shun. He got an interesting backstory and good place in KOF world, even without the manga which added quite a bit on top of that. Unlike many, I don't exactly care about his fashion crimes, I guess I'm used for characters in asian media to look like that. He also was the most interesting newcomer to play as in XIV with unusually extensive move list, so there's that.Yasha is fine, but I'm not sure that we really needed the tradition of making a new protagonist every SamSho to continue. Maybe his game will make me like him more though.Reina is ???, I'm not even sure if she will be the new protagonist, or antagonist, or that's the same thing with how Kazuya and Heihachi are. Like, she looks good, but everything about T8 is a mess.Luke feels weird as fuck. He makes me remember how Capcom shilled SF in the West with Guile as the main character in the movie and cartoon, but also like a western and less hardcore version of what Ryu is. All that while trying to appeal to modern audiences and actually being more of a support character to your avatar rather than the actual protagonist.
>>520677898HxH has no motion, I don't think that'll do well.
>>520687038I think some salty Capcom Marvelfags might try to do something with it and depending on the game support it might do surprisingly well.
>>520670876>There's some curious stuff too like Grant being super friendly towards Hotaru,Why wouldn't he be
HOLY SHIT CHECK TWITTER
Interesting change from MotW (to OBT1 build): The 7 direction no longer takes up the air JD window, so you can just hold 7 for a long time before going to 4 to JD. Also, IAJD is still a thing, but no longer "instant". Because you must do a full jump by pressing up until the the 1st airborne frame, you can only air JD starting at the 2nd airborne frame.
Good line up

>>520690339how many people played the FREE beta after ronaldo was announced, again?
>>520690339I know Ronaldo is super popular but nobody should take the views on twitter seriously.
Realistically, when should we expect Andy (DLC1) and Ken (DLC2) to drop? They're both listed as "Summer" characters. How long after XV's launch did it take Team Garou (first DLC) to drop, wasn't it like a month and a week or so? Early/Mid June seems like a good guess for Andy.

Mr. PresidentA second celebrity character has hit the towers
Cute!
Loli Nako...they should play their cards right tbqhfs, Nako is such a bomb for a potential second wave of endless popularity; she was their literal princess across the brand for so many years.some ideas:- make her a vtuber (and her sister)- give her a unique game as a protagonist; a metroidvania ala lodoss war one from ladybug- a soulslike with her as one of the extremely rare action games with a female protagonist; depending on how you decide to play you may schizo her into Rera- a princess maker like set in "x" era; maybe even actual to clash old and modern sensitivities; idoru ways as goals- make a SNK kart game (it's about goddamn time) with her on the center cover. The huge ribbons steal everyone's eyes. - bringback days of memories already gdi
>>520693845Salvatore would never do this. He would've stopped 9/11 if he was there
>Nako was their literal princess>give her a unique game as a protagonistShe does deserve more. I mean, I prefer Rimu, but I like little sisters and all that.>a princess maker like set in "x" eraNow we're talking!
are you still angry we got ganocci instead of duck baron? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jBvl0shJU0
>>520695510>make her a vtuberFor the short amount of time they tried with Athena it was really well received, I don't get why they stopped. And it was before all this shit became popular.They could even use Nako's KOF lore for it and hire a girl with a cute voice to play games on their channel.>give her a unique game as a protagonistA lot of their characters would fit well in a 3d platformer or adventure game
>>520697071If we're asking for 3D platformer/adventure games give me her back. Asamiya can get fucked
>>520697449god I love fat chicks
>>520697071aight then:- a low poly 3D platformer (that is NOT a collect-aton, but more action oriented) with her eagle and wolf as mobility options for diverse traversal scenarios and combat combos. You can switch to Rimu in certain stages for ice fun shenanigans. Control both tagging in and out at later stages; maybe even 2 players fun!
>>520691848>they should waste moneybut i thought the saudi overlords provided snk with based infinite money and that's why they won?
Why are Street Fighter players seeting over Ganacchi so hard?
>>520697449I still need to play her game>>520697657>with her eagle and wolf as mobility options for diverse traversal scenarios and combat combosAkari would also work well in a game like this with her shikigamis

>>520696034the Saudis backed the group that hijacked the planes to begin with so no.
>>520700515Thinking about getting that collection with a bunch of these games since it's on sale on gog and try it mostly because of Crystalis that I never played. Is Psycho Soldier there too?
>>520701915Yep. It's how I played. Actually a pretty good collection

>>520705027It was pretty hilarious how multikulti his 1990s Swedish school in the trailer was.
We should be expecting the Obari animation soon right? I'm not expecting anything more than a 2:30 to 3:00 animation that's basically a recap of FF1 up to the MoTW ending with Rock leaving. It may be voice acted and not a music video like XV's.
>>520714762Can't wait to see Jenet and Shotamaru

>>520736843A lack of perspective is what makes people upset. Having a couple cuts doesn't even COMPARE to your game becoming actually, unironically unplayable
kofxvbros how the fuck does the throw work in this game? i get that it beats in range meaties and shit but it working even against landing checks or non invul/armored command grabs feels stupid wtf does it catch the hurtbox instead of the collision box or something??
>>520738257yes, proximity throws are 0f. you can only OS tech with pressing forward and cl.C at the same time. these are how older games with proximity throws work, CoTW is new style with manual grab throws.
>>520736843Thread has been quite shill on the last two days for some reason with anons actually talking about games>>520738257wasn't it always faster than command throws?
The Fatal Fury and Art of Fighting characters look so out of place next to the KOF originals.
gonna be dating bjenet and you losers cant stop me
>>520742654KOF OCs after Orochi Saga look out of place next to older KOF OCs. It's because the developers were a revolving door that would switch between different people creating different stories and tones that don't congregate well at all. Also why so many plot threads got dropped

Maybe it's suffering from being one of the first ones developed, but it bothers me how ugly Rock's power geyser hidden gear is compared to others. I can't even pinpoint why but it doesn't feel powerful
>>520749494Because you don't see the opponent actually eat the Geyser. It just cuts to the Geyser itself and shows the opponent taking damage.
>>520748031>>520748932I genuinely think the semi-realistic comic art style is due to the irl guests. Tonko's art style is still stylized. You can see it in how she draws Hokutomaru similarly to the old art despite being older, but in-game he looks completely different

Meaningless pick for me.>Ganacci.Never heard of the dude, if his movelist didn't look funny I wouldn't care. I would rather have Fatal Fury characters in this game instead of advertising. I don't invest into companies, I don't care about marketing or awareness - SNK doesn't pay me to care. Still, these picks don't really stop me from wanting to buy the game. Just kind of annoying.
>>520680442Its because there is two of them!
>>520787171Four.Ken and Chun-li are still coming in free updates.
>jinrai feint>ex dragonlash into another ex to keep it safecurious about how they're adapting ken
>>520667701>>520668374>The guest characters didn't take-Already objectively incorrect. Time, money and resources are not unlimited. Planning and development prioritization not spent in one area will be instead be spent on another. Time spent planning, pre-production, and starting development on Chun-Li, Ken, Ronaldo and Salvatore absolutely took away from either other characters, modes, online polishing time, etc. Saying otherwise is just wrong of the highest order.
>>520789570Yeah this is actually true. The time it takes to make characters is finite and I sincerely, truly doubt that these characters were on the page at the moment the game was greenlit.
Do you guys see the Tekken players unironically using the "this is the first time a Tekken title didn't have an arcade release, so this explains why our legacy title of 30 years is balanced like shit right now" defense? I'm glad I'm safe over here.
>>520791913>is balanced like shit right nowIt's important to note that balance is not the problem. No one knows if current t8 is balanced or not, it might be the case that the whole cast is broken enough to be viable. The problem is with the game's direction
>>520789570>>520790427There's nothing in the actual game's datamine itself to indicate the game's roster had planned to include anything beyond Season 1 to begin with. Even with all the planned later DLC, the most content filled is Andy, Joe and Mr. Big. We have MORE content of them than we did Salvatore, who had more data than Ronaldo. Yes time is finite, but you weren't going to get Fatal Fury's niche picks initially on a launch roster. No earlier Fatal Fury game EVER prioritized characters like Duck King or Tung or even Kim, except MotW, which cut him for a function equivalent to begin withThe game was clearly prioritized to focus on the MotW roster and the important legacy characters like Andy, Joe, Mai and Billy so you wouldn't have to wait over a year for them to be in a Fatal Fury game. The story was written around these plans and the only objective full on cut that they clearly intended was FreemanWe're getting more characters than these initial plans due to the funding. Because a MotW sequel is focusing on the MotW roster more than the classic roster. I've said it before, if you have issues with this roster, the foundation for its problems was set back in 1999 when they cut everyone but Terry to begin with. You're still getting more OG picks with this game despite the guest shit than you would have gotten back in 2000. This is also objective truth
to the datamining anons, is there something about the dlc characters having stuff on EOST?
I wanna get into CVS2. How similar is it to KOF? Is it just 6 button KOF?
>>520793731We haven't really seen anything outside of base roster data for EOST. Even Ronaldo and Salvatore are missing. The one thing we can gleam from the datamine was Dong was added so last minute he's often listed after the bosses in terms of content. They wanted to get him in in spite of the fact they likely initially didn't even plan to include him. It also explains why his rival dialogue is missing, bro just doesn't have one yetAnd I get the feeling if they really did have the time they could've added Jae too but he just barely didn't make the cut and is guaranteed Season 2 now. If this decision killed any character I couldn't tell you who it was because it sure wasn't Freeman or Duck King
>>520793731andy, joe and big all have dialogue for the EOST menu alongside multiple characters like rick strowd, jae, ryo and kasumi having interactions recorded
>>520680442People wanted Blue Mary, Yamazaki, Rick, Duck King or Alfred first. Now they have to wait 1 year for this.
>>520794215CVS2 is more like Street Fighter Alpha than KOF even using the SNK modes.
>>520794352>South Town+Depending on how leveling/skills/buffs work it would be fun for it to be a more difficult version of the normal one but with different fights>>520794925That's nice. I hope this mode is actually fun that they keep updating it with more stuff each season
>>520795000>Blue Mary, Yamazaki, Rick, Duck King or Alfred>Thinking these characters were getting in early when the MotW-shaped elephant was in the roomUnless you want the game out by 2026 with like a roster of 27 characters instead of 17 AND you're still getting Ronaldo and Salvatore on top of that. Kevin alone is the main reason Mary is getting cucked, not Siuuu or Horse man
>>520736843What happen8 to Tekken 8?
>>520795669If those characters aren't in the game because of MOTW, then why is Ronaldo and Salvatore in when they have nothing to do with Fatal Fury nor SNK at all? What story-precense do these real-humans that they shoved in the game have in MOTW? Pretending to care about lore/story doesn't work anymore when they showed that they'll happily break all that just to shove in immersion-breaking advertisements.
>>520795913They revealed Reina is futa.
>>520795913https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EA7WOJXYg3wyou can just watch the Kazuya section for a tl;dr
>>520796453Because the game wouldn't exist without the guy who wanted them in fronting the bill? It's pretty obvious. SNK didn't even prioritize them, the reason they're the last reveals isn't to drum up hype it's because they're the last characters made for the damn launch roster alongside Dong, who they crunched in to try and please greedy faggots like you
>>520795913Players hated the game for being a 50/50 casino mashfest. Devs promised the season 2 patch would focus more on defense. Instead, the patch basically triples down on the original motif and supercharges all the characters with new moves and features. The roster is so high-powered now that the game is toxic to deal with.
>>520795913>>520797971Tekken 8 season 2 is proof positive that>If everyone is overpowered, no one isisn't exactly true.
>>520779870I love Alice. Why do these faggots had to talk shit about her non stop just because Blue Mary wasn't on launch roster for XIV...?
>>520801598Because Alice was a pachislot character, a reminder of the dark ages between KOFXIII and XIV.
>>520721375LOL!
>>520794215almost nothing like real KOF. K groove plays fairly close to Garou though. hops in this game are limited compared to the real thing.
>>520801598Muh pachislot ptsd
>>520802240You say this as if SNK weren't doing pachinko as their main buisness WAY before KOFXIII.Muimui had her 20th anniversary like half a year ago.

>>520805634I want to do sexual things to Muimui
>>520793505Assuming they were doing similar plot threads 20+ years ago, I wonder if this guy was supposed to have Mr. Big's current role.
>>520810924That's what I've been lead to believe. And I like the outcome of using an older character to fill in the necessary niche than just making up new shit for the sake of new shit. I'm just curious what he's been doing with Marie all these years

>>520817809Ya Mr. Big is still kicking it with his gang, I think I saw John Crawley in an older thread too
>>520746156Now its only Hotaru's face that looks the worst here, it's too wide.
>>520813237Can you please just link all the story images in like a mega folder or something
>>520813237Most of the people whining about Ronaldo and the dj won't even appreciate the amount of deep cuts in the story lol.
I wish I didn't see the datamines even though I asked for them because of muh roster... Some really cool stuff that would have blown my mind if I went in blind in the story mode
you guys should at least put the pics in spoiler, I don't want to leave my /neog/bros until I beat it, but it's kinda hard to dodge it
>>520805634Konami was doing pachislot too before they went full retard. I guess it becomes a problem when it's the ONLY thing the company focuses on.
>>520826081https://files.catbox.moe/f7cyz0.rarHere you go, got them from this thread during OBT1 Datamines>>520826471Of course not. They have no appreciation for actual hard work because they're seals that exist to clap when they see thing they recognize. Then they get upset when it's not thing they recognize. And ironically they actually don't recognize half the shit that's actually in the game to begin with>>520826761The datamines made me appreciate the end result we got even more. I sure would've been more confused but this is genuinely the game I wanted even if it's not perfect. Oda and KOF Team made the right amount of compromises this time around to make a really amazing game>>520826968I figured everyone in here already saw these. With how close to release the game is, it's kind of foolish to want to go into a game blind but also use 4chan or any social media honestly. That's why I don't care about spoilers, personally
What exactly is so big about this mister?
>>520827990his charisma
>>520827301Yeah with regards to spoilers, I can only blame myself. Kinda feel bad for SNK, because I've seen some Japanese boomers who would actually go nuts over the story react very negatively to the Ronaldo and Salvatore (somewhat hilariously). Hopefully, they come around after seeing all the heart SNK has put in the game
in other newshttps://snk-corp.co.jp/us/games/fatalfury-cotw/command/has been shorted to two spots from threehokutomaru and geese?
>>520829116>Hopefully, they come around after seeing all the heart SNK has put in the gameI hope already knowing dark rock exists won't make it less interesting to me
>>520830331this isnt indicative of the roster because the layout is completely different on mobile
I can't believe cristiano ronaldo is the inheritor of geese's legacy
>>520830331Hokutomaru and maybe Geese, if not Andy being released super early like maybe May. SNK have a good track record with having content ready fast (when they actually plan for it)>>520830351The way they pull it off is actually pretty cool and completely justified. It actually doesn't make Geese into some evil demon lord too
>>520830908It's funny when you think that he has been in more video games than even Terry
>>520830908Fallen Ronaldo is the hardest boss in the franchise.Unbeatable as Hotaru, Jenet and Mai.

>>520846469The gachaslop gave him in a scenario straight of of rezero too to the point he just wanted to be killed then the game and went TOS without the story ever getting resolved. Poor guy can't get a fucking break.
>>520849053*Out of**EOS
Since Tekken is dead now SNK should make Maximum impact 3, or maybe just give license to competent devs
>>520830331On the trailers page there's still 3 slots left, they were there before the Cristiano "interview" too.
>>520852893I'd rather SNK just give back Falcoon his characters so he can collaborate with some other developer like Arika to reboot Maximum Impact
>>520846469Haoumaru and Ukyo's endings in SS 2 are sad too.
>>520852893Maximum Impact has no value.
>>520852893thiswith the 3d fighters crisis and the shitton of blood money the prince can give us this could lead to a real snk reigning era>>520856234stfu
The Maximum Impact games were and played like complete slop
Apparently CotW review copies are going out, keep your eyes peeled for new stuff
Maximum Impact > Tekken 8

i love the narrative of "we can't do this thing because this one game that i consider slop did it so it is offlimits because it cannot be done in a nonslop context"
>>520867670Since your post is legitimately too vague for me to even parse exactly what you're talking about, I can suggest that maybe the reason something is slop is the context of what people don't want the game to do. So a nonslop context is impossible because it's the reason for something else being slop
>>520868539you can take it however you want because you're going to do that anyway like what's been done for the past few years
>>520857829I'll make sure to throw it into the dumpster
>>520870036review copies of CoTW not SF6 dumbass
>>520662348If I was retarded enough to buy the game all I would get is shitty roster that I have to help keep alive because everyone will fuck off in a month.I'll play discord fighters and support online, but I have to fucking like the game and roster
>>520870270ok that's nice, now go back to the slime mines
>>520871134>I hope no one is dumb enough to save SNK if they ever go bankrupt againYou say this like the guy who saved them isn't the reason for the collabs. He's got his own personal mugen now, don't be jealous
>>520871134>Enjoy ball washing celebrities you fucking shitskin.see this is why I'm starting to like salvatore, it makes total man children like you shit yourself in a senseless fury. return to the slime mines or tekken 8 or whatever shitty game you play, nobody knows and nobody cares
>>520871254China bought them dipshit and then Saudi Arabia >>520871360Yes being pushed aside for retarded niggers who never supported the damn company makes people angry
>I want them to make games shittier because it makes people madFanboys would rather get raped in the ass rather than not buy something or say something bad about the company or franchise they worship
>>520871529I purchased kof14 and kof15, been mashing in garou and kof with fightcade spics off and on for almost 20 years, I don't care but you shitting yourself like it's sacrilege is very amusing to me. you're probably in your 30's and 40's, if you want art go read a book
>>520871529China put NO effort into saving SNK. They gave them no money and expected profit and then Saudi bought them out. You think a project like KOF Destiny had money behind it? SNK were still trying to salvage their asses with shit like KOFXIV and KOFXV and it clearly wasn't working like it usually never works for them because KOF never fucking sellsIf China gave them money it sure didn't fucking show in KOFXV
maybe you guys really should campaign for that id thing in /vg/ that you wanted so much for me because i can't tell who is arguing for what kek
>>520872187I don't care anymore as far as I'm concerned they are dead.I'm not part of their new audience
>>520873094Doesn't sound like you were part of their old audience either
yeah I'm confident SNK has more resources to flex under Saudis than Chinese, even if we gotta hold the L on these dogshit picks every once in a while(and even if 2/3 of the people at the company hate KOF)
>>520873638>you won't gargle their balls and worship everything they do so you aren't a real fan Celebrity worship is fucking retarded and I don't owe them permanent access to my wallet
>>520874351Niggers who eat trash because you can't handle a world where they fail a single time to actually course correct is why all franchises and industries go to shit
>>520874616>>520874426>accept ronaldo and goofy dj man as guest picks to fund garou 2, new AoF, and sam sho action game with real funding>NOOOOOOO THEY SHOULD HAVE SAID NOOOO THE FUNNY DJ MAN RAPES ME
>>520874351>20 years of poor games salesIt's unsurprising why they hate KOF. SNK made their scraped together game dev team produce KOFs despite legitimately not wanting to in the vein of, "it makes them money" so the franchise gets what it deserves at this point. Especially since cheaply produced fighting games don't sell if they're being treated as full AAA releasesHonestly I think SNK would be in a better place if they just made Fatal Fury back in 2016 instead of KOF. There was no reason to revive the franchise in the first place after XIII bombed and the results showed
Real life guests won't save your game from being a discord fighter at arrival
>>520875041nah, in retrospect taking advantage of SFV's shit launch makes sense, but they couldn't have known capcom would have shat the bed like that in 2013/14
>>520875162if it's a discord fighter why are you so scared?
>>520875041They already said themselves that every game did fine. The problem with SNK is that they have a hard time grabbing new people, mostly because of their old school ways to do things and being a fighter only company.Kinda reminds me of Inti and their 2D games
>>520875373I'm not the one pissing and screaming myself over people not liking the terrible guests, maybe you should ask yourself why are you scared of others expressing their opinions.
>>520875510and accepting the silly dj man and ronaldo gave them the funding for an AoF and sam-sho action game. i'm sorry, but it was the right call.
>>520875227That's why you take advantage with a brand new Fatal Fury that's incredibly accessible to newcomers but doesn't sacrifice being a fighting game like CotW is doing. And you wouldn't need to crunch visuals like these if you were working on a smaller ~20 character roster versus the retardedly mediocre 50 character roster XIV was. And lore wise you just had to worry about MotW's cliffhangers rather than needing to set up plot threads for shit like Orochi, NESTS and Ash coming back like XIV did as well as whatever gay ass Verse lore they were cookingBut no KOF sells apparently. Needed to bring THAT back after XIII basically "ended" the series in a convoluted way that completely devalued their own brand going forward. If they were going to make a new KOF they should have just skipped XIV and made XV in the first place.a KOF with CYS, K9999, Ash and Rock Howard would've sold much better than whatever shit KOFXIV was cooking. At the height of SNK's China era when they got Terry in Smash, the end result was KOFXV. Clearly KOF was NOT the way to go>>520875510Inti are basically doujin developers so I don't blame them for the lack of appeal. They also are a good reference point that sprites can't sell games in the modern age
>>520875683*aaa fundings
>>520875913doing a fatal fury into SFV directly after SF4 is suicidal, oda would have been kicked off before he could sign off on it
i think it's kind of funny seeing everyone who complains about salvatore get upset when they talk about how he shouldn't be in the game to people who know about him
>>520857829source?
>>520876094Doing KOFXII after SFIV was already suicide. What the fuck damage was a new Fatal Fury going to do? SFV was already a dogshit launch and KOFXIV is an objectively better game than launch SFV, but SFV pre-Luke mogs the fuck out of KOFXIV thanks to all the content updates and game additionsIf Fatal Fury launched with a 20+ character roster, had a great story and enough single player content to outshine SFV, it would've done wonders for SNK. Instead they did a mediocre KOF with a big roster. Because SNK would've thought KOF would "save" them. Maybe it saved them thinking they could get away with KOF being a budget title again like in the old days cause KOFXII/XIII proves KOF can't be AAA
>>520876531>What the fuck damage was a new Fatal Fury going to do?nobody was going to pick up a new fatal fury going into SFV, and the FGC did truck along in SFV for a good year or two. kof14 was ultimately hampered by delay netcode and trying to start over into 3d
>>520876857>nobody was going to pick up a new fatal fury going into SFVYou say this like KOFXIV came out before SFV. The shining aspect of KOFXIV was that it launched immediately afterwards which is what helped BlazBlue's initial success launching immediately after SFIV. Except KOFXIV looked like shit so only KOF fans bought it anyway
>>520875654>>520875162why is the slime tranny seething this badly?We are not at fault that Slime6 is so fucking DOGSHIT you prefer to post on 4chan instead of playing the game tranny
>>520875683I'm not the anon complaining and I rather not have these characters, but it's not like they change anything about the game for me. The gameplay is good, online works, I'm interested in the story, I like how the game looks and and excited about the future characters, that's better than I expected when they announced it.The "backslash" will probably make they think more before doing these things though
anyone wanna play some KOFXV
>>520877210>the backlash will make think moreno, they would have accepted it either way. again, you give the saudi two picks in CoTW and he funds CoTW, AoF, and sam-sho action game. that's a ridiculously good fucking deal, if Oda had even said no I think they would have fired him or something.
>>520877302sure i can play a match or two not real good though
>>520877202It's genuinely amazing how fucking bad SF6 and T8 have becomehttps://streamable.com/025yhf
>>520877715no worries, ill run a ft5 or two408663
>>520877801ok give me a minute
>>520877703I think Oda didn't mind because he probably thought people really liked guests because of the KOFAS collabs, that was when they started pushing more guests.
>>520870270>all I would get is shitty roster Most of the MotW cast plus Mai, Billy Kane and Preecha is a bad roster?
>>520875041I sometimes wonder if SNK wouldn't have done better releasing KoF as a f2p game or at least substantially cheaper, considering most of their audience plays on fightcade due to poverty. I think releasing a game with kof14 or 15 graphics at full price is a hard sell for most people and they could build an audience to then pay full price for cotw now that they know and like Terry, Mai or whatever
You guys should play SNK games
>>520878576>not that it matters to you because screeching and dilatingnta but isn't that what you do here every day instead of playing your game? People here seem happy with CotW even with the guest shit that the majority didn't want
>>520878576>doesn't even deny its a capcuck tranny grim legit grim
>>520879010why is one bitch a pretty cartoonis she a vtuber
>>520879010Suzi is cute, I wish she was in CotW
>>520878968>>520879010>resorts to samefagginglmao pathetic display, no wonder you cucks are the public toilets of FGC
>>520879209he is a confused young man
All things considered I always felt like I was pressured to like KOF because it was the one thing SNK was doing for so long and after being convinced with XV I was able to go back and enjoy the old games too. But I got into SNK cause of Fatal Fury and I generally prefer Fatal Fury's stories and characters over KOF OCs. So the fact that now there's a Fatal Fury game coming out I don't have to really put up with KOF's shortcomings anymore. I still love a handful of the games. KOF95, 98, XI and XV are genuinely lovely and wonderful games, but I absolutely cannot say I'm a huge fan of the rest at allHope KOFXVI is good. If it's XV but with a bigger roster then I'll probably enjoy that too
>>520879617thats linetrap, uglynot cute like suzi
>>520877302are you american
>>520880243midwest USA, yes
>>520879775>All things considered I always felt like I was pressured to like KOF becauseyou could have just followed this with "I'm a sudaca"ain't noone in america pressured to like kof
>>520879775its more like for like 20 years SNK only produced KOF there was nothing more to play I am glad they are getting out their IP slowly but surely We maybe getting a new Athena who knows
>>520880520doesnt make his point less valid
Fighting games shouldn't kill characters desu.Just make a cutscene of the bad guy all beaten up and in chains and if he happens to be popular then you can just show him breaking out of prison in the next game. The fate of the world shouldn't be a thing that is treated seriously in this genre.Killing characters and then reviving them in the very next game is dumb and even SNK realized that with XV>>520878542Not him, but looking at the MotW guys I realize I much prefer the classic Fatal Fury "whos" over the new gen.They are slick and shit but mechanically they don't interest me like say Sokaku or Laurence does. I'm at the moment more interested in Ronaldo and Salvatore as they are brand new functions to this game. If I don't vibe with them then I guess I'll just default to a very casual Tizoc or BillyAt least Alfred is apparently in this game in the future so that's cool
>>520881527Sokaku would have been cool. I only played the first 2 FFs but I remember looking into his moveset and thinking he feels like a prototype for sf6's JP
>no mai buffsit's over
>>520881776It's a lot of caltrop throwing
>>520877882I gotta hit the hay man, ggs
>>520882393thanks for the matches
>>520882434same, always up to play people
who are the last two characters according to leaks again? is freeman in?
>>520883156Hokutomaru is guaranteed, and Kim Jae Hoon is in there somewhere. Freeman is practically guaranteed cut, demoted to NPC.
I really want to keep learning and playing KOF98. Any other KOF I'll pick up is mostly to help me get better at KOF98.
>>520883156only one more, its Hokutomarutwo unplayable bosses, Geese and RockJae Hoon had a lot of work done but will probably get pushed back to Season 2Freeman doesn't even seem to have been started
>>520883156Freeman straight up is the only actual planned cut altogether. Grant's function is Vox and Jae has data so he's likely S2 but KOF Team just didn't want to attempt to salvage Freeman since he was completely bottom tier in MotW and didn't have the last two KOF to polish his moveset like RockAfter Jae it's gonna be a bunch of OGs going forward. We saw Duck, Krauser, Alfred, Rick and Ryo as the most significant names
>>520883156only Hokutomaru as far as we know. there is an albeit low chance that Jae Hoon and/or Geese is a surprise addition (Geese has a very good chance of being at least a later update a la Rugal) but that's generally cope for the most part. or both Geese and Fallen Rock are playable boss characters at launch. still cope though.
buy your tickets
>tekken is literally imploding>dix is literally left to rot>soive is so dead they made an anime and no on watched itthere will never be a better time to launch this gamesnk will announce jae hokuto geese as a surprise 20 people roster and it'll be a huge success
>>520890689Don't get your hopes up. A roster that ties with launch SF6 and beats launch Strive is already good enough. They'll probably have Andy finished in May
>>520890689will they annouce preechas actual gender tho

>>520899814Oda is a pervert he's 100% getting Lili in, Nina or a male are likely the second option
>>520895163Yes.
they should add mais original costume.the biker aesthetic is lame and mixed with the fan theme its just retarded. I want characters to look like martial artists.
>>520902727>the biker aesthetic is lameterrible taste
>>520902894t.lamer
>>520902727if you're going to complain about mai not looking like a martial artist then theres probably more characters you could complain about including terry and rock but your argument is retarded enough already
>>520905427rock is absolutely a terrible design.
>>520905772said no one.
>>520907165how south american are you? be honest
>>520651232Man, that's fucking gay.
>>520793505Character rosters are usually decided on pretty early on. Nowdays this is true even for DLC. So if they never decided to have those 4 guest characters than early on those 4 could have absolutely been other avenues of focus. Not finding some niche character in a datamine doesn't mean much when it comes to what is prioritized, any half competent development cycle would know who is or isn't getting in fairly early, especially as game development get's more expensive things need to be planned properly or else time and money is wasted.The idea of that these 4 guest characters are "extra" characters is just false. They were resources spent over potentially other avenues. It is not wrong for someone to look at this and go "yeah these 4 could have gone to other content (which includes characters)"
do they want me to think kain is right or what
>>520907391Go back to your training, Andy.
>>520908094Kain's observations aren't wrong, but Terry's ending suggests his solution is wrong. Kain wants everyone to truly live, which is wrong because it can't be forced. The desire has to come from within, like with Terry, who lives a happy, fulfilling life as a result.
Where is the Mai scat link?
>>520651232All of SNKs games have ass and titties, stop making retarded posts.
>Duck, Kasumi, Rick, Krauser, Alfred, Ryo, Mary, probably Jae, and Gao make for a very good roster.
>>520913479You're right
>>520913479Unironically, yes. That would excellent DLC.
>>520907240They are sleeping.
>>520907438Retard, you're missing the point. That's like saying they could have put resources into putting Kyo in the game over Terry. The guest characters were always planned early on in development, therefore they didn't take any roster spots from fucking Jae Hoon or Freeman (lmao)
>>520913479well not on their own, but added to the existing chars, sure.
why are people so obsessed with kim clones herefuck that shitter and his offspringif you want any taekwondo exponent add luong or make a new coomable female character ffs
>>520908094>>520910429Social Darwinists are rarely portrayed as (entirely) in the right. He's another one of those "I want to turn this place into an anarchist utopia where everyone gets what they want through strength alone" types. It didn't work for Senator Armstrong in Metal Gear Rising, and it won't work for Kain.
>>520915271>Downplaying the patron saint of video game Koreans in his native IPYou can fuck right off.
>>520913201Fuck you, Oda. We want to see ass and titties in actual ultra realistic graphics with high-tech jiggle physics featuring sweat and veins, not pixel shit or outdated PS3 graphics. Fuck you again.

>>520915551Both Kim juniors are wasted slots. Chae lim would be much better.
>>520899814I love Samus
I give KoF 98 a go, this Heavy D nigga looks cool but some of the stuff I am reading says he is on the harder side of the roster, is that being a bit exaggerated?
>>520913479This + Tsugumi, Alice and Franco Bash would make this roster the best in the series ignoring the guests>>520916801He doesn't have a really unique moveset like Lucky Glauber and Brian so he should be that bad to learn.
>>520918116he shouldn't*
>>520915649Nothing about ZZZ is high tech lol, you don't know shit about graphics
finna wake up in 2 days and see jae and geese next to hokutomaru
>>520924540they will drip feed those announcements, geese will be announced on the 20th so people rush to buy the game
never mentioned this but geese has a trophy/achievement for beating him meaning that the boss variant will be in the game day one in case there were any doubts
>>520925814After the first leaks from the first beta, Boss Nightmare Geese was never in doubt. The only question is whether or not Geese is secretly playable.
>>520925814I doubt it but I hope he's more difficult than Wild Ambition Geese
Pretending to care about Freeman is corny. Jae Hoon will be in the game
>>520915752>little boyI know the translations that SNK posted for this were a little jank at times, but it makes ya wonder.
>>520933778Yeah...
>>520933778>>520934887If only Saigado still caring about SNK...
>>520935403gachashit is also eating up all the other doujin artists sadly. i remember the days when stuff was more evenly spread out, and a sexpot like Luong would have a decent amount of doujins but now it's just the same shitty rat race to make materal for the current waifu of the month from gachaslop. shit's sad. sad times we live in man.
>>520932058Freeman is a weird case. He does literaly nothing on MotW's story, gets shot and disappears
>>520932058I don't care about Freeman but it rubs me the wrong way when a newcomer just gets shafted so hard. Not to mention the sheer lack of any actual villains in the roster.
On that note, in this game of leaving the darkness of south town behind, it feels weird not to have some actual confrontation with someone who basically is the pure condensed form of the kind of monsters south town can create. I don't got my panties in a twist over it but it does feel like kind of a waste
>>520936552>Not to mention the sheer lack of any actual villains in the roster.not needed to tell a story. what are you, twelve?
>>520936897The whole point of this story is to exorcise the ghost of Geese Howard from South Town once and for all.
>>520936897This dudes bio reads like Coldsteel the Hedgehog except it's not being ironic
why are people saying there aren't any villains in the roster if kain is right there and he's corrupting rock to embody social darwinism? even if marie is alive, that still sounds like a villain to me. the idea would be that he's creating rock to be the villain carrying all the ill will of geese right
>>520937407I think this is what wrong with XIV and XV. It didn't need the alien shit
>>520937407Not him but in a fighting game the story is an excuse to justify the gameplay. Why are these people power dunking and raging storming each other in the middle of the streets? Well, either they hate each other or there is a martial arts tournament going on. With no villains it only leaves open the second option.
>>520936897the character isn't popular and actually doesn't have a connection to the main storyline at all.
>>520937429Many of the story threads seem to congeal into the central point that Geese was genuinely the worst thing to ever happen to South Town, and that everyone - even Billy - is better off without him. It's like how Harley Quinn almost always becomes a good guy any time she escapes the Joker's influence.>>520937793Kain is not a villain this time around. Yes, he still dreams of his "South Town for only the strong" Darwinist utopia, but his more immediate concern this time around is rescuing his sister Marie.
>>520937857they are martial artists and a tournament is being held. how these characters relate to each other is deeper than fighting.
>>520938050At least for me he didn't feel like a villain in MotW.
>>520938410Kain was the sponsor of the first KOF Maximum Mayhem tournament in Garou:MotW, so he had more weight to him.
before bane...there was grant...funny to me how "masked body builder guy who wants to rebuild society" was done in motw first
>>520938050>Geese was genuinely the worst thing to ever happen to South TownWasn't it even worse before he grew to power though? There's a whole thing with Terry wondering if he did the right thing killing Geese because of everything he was keeping under control just by running shit, adding onto the fact that killing Geese didn't get rid of the massive class divine and kids were still going hungry and tons of other shit. Having it all just be the fault one guy who part of the way he is is because of the conditions in the city making him become that way feels like a copout.

>>520937678it's almost kind of endearing how straightforwardly edgy it is. takes me back to the 90's.
>>520932058Pretending to care about Jae Hoon is corny. Imagine actually giving a shit about Kim Jr with Twitter hair
>>520939174I care. Jae Hoon was unironically my first main in Garou:MotW.

Anon, please upload
>>520898016It's what happens when you cut your new generation just to bring back the OGs. Street Fighter did it, Mortal Kombat did it, Soul Calibur did it, even KOF has done it a couple timesCity of the Wolves is unironically one of the first sequels to bring back a majority of their old generation as the main cast. The only comparable roster are the post-Tekken 3 games, even then they cut Forrest for Martial which is like cutting Jae for Kaphwan
>>520942889*old new generationRegardless this game really should not have cut Andy and Joe. At least not Andy
Anon, Obari got an offer from SNK and ArcSys to add one guest character from Gowcaizer and he's asking you whom to pick.What do you say to him?
>>520942889>even then they cut Forrest for MartialI never understood that one. They're literally the same character. They look the same, the moveset isn't identical but could be if they wanted in a sequel, neither character is relevant to the plot, so why bring back the old one? They now have 2 Bruce Lee clones running around and for some reason the youngest doesn't participate in tournaments anymore?
Will we be able to enable lanes in multiplayer lobbies?
>>520913479they are the perfect roster the rest of fatal fury is fucking filler tier. Maybe add the toreador guy
>>520945687are lanes actually playable in the game other than that small video from the datamining?
>>520945687>>520947012It's a stage exclusive gimmick>>520946053Fatal Fury being filler tier is because the games were designed with the idea you only care about the main story. Terry, Andy and Joe were the main constants and you were following their journey and the friends and enemies they meet along the way. MotW was the first time they made an entire roster that was supposed to have a relevant story to tell, but even then characters like Jenet and Tizoc were clearly supposed to be fillerIn terms of hierarchy the only other characters who ended up becoming true mainstays were Mai (first girl), Billy (through Geese), Mary, Kim (because of KOF) and Yamazaki (also because of KOF). Duck King should've been a mainstay but I think him getting cucked by Mary in 97 resulted in him being thrown to the wayside along with the rest
>>520945687>"05_02_RoomMatch_173": "Two-Lane Party Only">"05_02_RoomMatch_174": "Two-Lane Shuffle"
>>520947124>It's a stage exclusive gimmickIt's the park one right? Sound fun
>>520946053idk why but I never thought of Alfred as a twink. I always saw him as a cool dude that likes flying.
>>520949091It's based on the funny description of the in-game body type models. Girl is basically the slimmer equivalent of Woman to Man getting Twink
>>520943101>Regardless this game really should not have cut Andy and Joe. At least not AndyWasn't an issue at the time lol. No one went nuts and half the roster became popular enough to make it into other SNK games.
>>520949657Back then games came out more frequently but if it was a massive complaint for SFIII to cut the all of the World Warriors, then it makes sense that people would be upset Andy and Joe were cut. The "they were supposed to be contemporary releases" rhetoric is complete modern revisionist cope. Nobody would play SFIII if their mains were locked to II and Alpha. Same here, a whole new generation from scratch is a gamble and people could just play KOF which has Andy, Joe, Mai, Kim and shitThat's why modern fighters cannibalize each other because unless you're a separate franchise like Darkstalkers, Soul Calibur, Blazblue there's no reason not to play your publisher's "main IP" and even they're too fucking lazy to keep these IPs alive because making a video game that's just a video game and not a content pipeline is apparently impossible
there's only one bad thing about cotw, roster is 80% male
>>520955134>the only female dlc are kasumi and blue mary yeah there is no female variety thats a good thing
>>520955134>>520955480Maybe if we ask nicely we can get Shermie
>>520955134The best FF characters are dudes, nothing much they can do other than add some of the other 4 girls the franchise has later.
>>520950542>if it was a massive complaint for SFIII to cut the all of the World Warriorsbecause third strike newcomers sucked ass. and your whole reasoning is skewed to the point thinking they should have every old ff character. when they already got rid of them in the fucking previous game with NO blowback.
>>520959992People have a hard time just saying it's something that they want personally, so they have to make it an "issue".
>>520955134XV had a great variety of females and it was still heavily criticized.
>>520955134Thank god, the only female character I ever enjoyed playing was Noel
finally found the webm, looks fun and sovl
>>520963214Looks like a pointless and stupid gimmick. Like the people who complain about teammates not standing in the background of KOF matches anymore.
>>520964064Teammates standing and reacting in background is pure sovl
>>520963214already a better 3D fighter than tekken 8
Mai poop folder? Hello??
WOOSH

>>520955134Coomers can buy for season 2.
Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says, "Treatment is simple. Great DJ Ganacci is in South Town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up." Man bursts into tears. Says, "But doctor...I am Ganacci.”
>>520966691Ryo bottoms for me
>>520967193That doctor was Cristiano Ronaldo
>>520967540Robert...
>>520967540Yuri...
>>520967540Mr. Big...
>>520967540Takuma...
>>520955134Unironically a big problem for casual appeal, you think Mai is number 1 most played in sf6 because of her riveting gameplay? Needs more female reps for more attention>But Fatal Fury doesn't have that manyThen they should have accounted for that. Include all that exist in the base. Make new characters, why is Vox a guy? Just makes him redundant when Grant is still around. We got celebs for marketing but they can't account for the basics in a roster.
>>520967704>>520967887>>520968147>>520969613Wow, Ryo is such a slut.King probably is the only one who doesn't get any action.
>>520969747>you think Mai is number 1 most played in sf6 because of her riveting gameplay?In this case it actually is because they made her intentionally cracked. Otherwise most people are still playing Akuma. SF6 right now is throw loop central so as long as you have a throw loop you can take advantage of the specific character is completely unnecessaryAlso SF6's roster is complete dogshit too despite the excessive amount of female characters so resorting to picking out Mai just kind of undermines your point
>>520967887She sure at least has initiative, she intentionally puts her brother's hand on her chest.
>>520969747>Make new charactersPreecha!
>>520970328I think sf6 roster is bad too I just used Mai as a standout when talking about casuals having eyes on the game, alongside Cammy and Juri, they actually have to look good to work>>520971928We need more than just one, especially when that one has a complete eyesore of a design.
>>520972556Preecha is cute. The color editor will fix her retarded palette
Literally everyone loves the SF2 roster, it's what made the series popular in the first place. SF6 roster is just that minus 2 bosses and fei-long, how is it a bad roster?
>sf6 roster is so good over literally 50% of the player base is akuma/mai from SNK, the rest are shotoslol
>>520973000That is what is gonna happen here too. I predict Terry, Rock and Ken being in the majority of online matches.
>>520973229didn't see that many rocks in beta 2, lotta terries tho
>>520972829It's a bad roster because they decided to implement E.Honda and Dhalsim instead of the aforementioned Fei Long, Vega and Balrog who are the 3 best characters that debuted in SF2 after Ryu,Chun and Guile
>>520877302if this anons still here id be down
>>520973574Terry is the Ken of Fatal Fury. Here's hoping SNK is like Capcom and just leaves him as top 3 for the entire lifespan of the game.
>>520972556Dude fucking you're listing characters from like 30 years ago at this point. Juri's been around for 15 years and if she's the game's best sell then Mai, Jenet and Hotaru are more than enough for Fatal Fury. It's all still a bare minimum compared to the rest of the roster right now because SF6's "new girls" all look like abominations and completely disprove your coomer pointBy the way none of Guilty Gear's popular girls right now are newcomers either. The only female newcomer was Giovanna. They're also working with characters that were made like 10 years ago too>>520972829SF6 is a direct sequel to SFII ignoring almost 30 years of additions that weren't in SFII. Nobody from Alpha/Final Fight, nobody from III, only Juri, only Rashid and Ed. They fucking prioritized ED over literally anyone else>>520974213Fei Long's never coming back they surgically removed him from the New Gen by also gutting T. Hawk for a shitty Daz3D pseudo-loli. Also you forgot Sagat, who should've been Season 2 over literally any of the current DLC in SF6 right now
>>520974818>nobody from IIIWrong. Kenjamin, Koomer, and Chumly are all here.
>>520975101Nobody considers franchise mainstays "from a game" anymore. That's why people treat Mai and Billy as being from Fatal Fury and not from Fatal Fury 2 specifically, especially since Billy wasn't playable in FF1 or 2. Same with Sagat, he's not really treated as coming from SF or SFII
>>520877302sauce?
>>520972719Based Preechan enjoyer!
>>520974818I didn't forget Sagat, I intentionally left him out as he's in the same position as Dhalsim right now. He's a character the modern SF devs don't know how to handle properly mechanically especially in a game with a catch-all parry button. He is deserving of a spot over Nu-Bison(character that has been ruined since SFV), Terry and Mai. Not Elena though because it will be interesting to see the animation team work on her if given the proper budget. I'm an 09er so I loathe Sagat personally too.
>>520976253Generally it's quite incredible how disrespectful the SF team is to the very history of SF. Everything about 6 feels embarrassed about where the series was but then it alludes to the idea of "new and better" while not putting in the effort. I don't know how a person like Nakayama can say Real Bout 2 is one of his favorite games and then produce a game like SF6. It can't be Capcom corporate meddling right?Is it THAT intense that we can't even see Street Fighter's history be represented in a positive way? We have to wait +3 years just to see characters like Sagat, Sakura, Sean, Ibuki, Dudley, Makoto, Q and especially Alex in a new game? Let alone anyone fucking else from SFV other than "the protagonist" and a character who has no direction now since he's obviously not supposed to be Balrog 2 nor is his story even going anywhere since Bison is just back on the roster no questions asked?And the worst part are these 4 character a year seasons. We aren't going to GET much progress done on characters people want because only half of them will be coming back at best per year and a lot LESS than that at worst. Less said about the fact the graphics clearly aged like milk the better
who will be the canon fighter to defeat/kill fallen rock?
>>520975349>since Billy wasn't playable in FF1 He was in the home releases
>>520978927Datamine confirms it to be Terry who kills him
>>520955995>shermie why? her gameplay is mediocre and offers nothing better if they make a new character instead
>>520979007Only the SNES version, Genesis version cut him entirely. And that's more of a retroactive thing since they were trying to sell Fatal Fury like Street Fighter II back then. He didn't truly become playable as we know Billy until Fatal Fury Special
>>520979814Bro she's like one of the only good KOF grapplers and we aren't getting Clark lmao. You want characters that offer nothing they already cut Freeman. "Just make new character" is a tired meme look at SF6. Nobody wants new characters they want legacy and collabs
>>520979442no more geese legacy....
>>520971593She's been touching Ryo's wiener without consent hasn't she?
>>520977280It's still just so hilarious to me that Capcom spent literal DECADES being too scared to advance the timeline past Street Fighter 3, and then when they finally do, not a SINGLE SF3 character can even make it onto the roster for the first year. That'd be like if COTW cut literally everyone besides Terry and then just gave us the Fatal Fury 2 cast with Geese, Yamazaki, and Blue Mary as DLC.
>>520977280> It can't be Capcom corporate meddling right?It is partially that as CPD2 who developed SF6 will always prioritize Monhun over Street Fighter because it simply makes them more money. Even now, they had to pull developers all over Capcom to finish Wilds in time for the quarterly. The other issue is Nakayama having to recreate the game and fix SFV due to Ono's prototype SF6 being full blown anime game instead of SF. I'm willing to give Nakayama some grace until I see if he rights the ship on S3 with some gameplay revisions or if he's just content with how the game is right now. I wouldn't be surprised if he was, as SF6 currently has 70% market share in Japan and just flat out eclipses all other fighters in other countries right now.Although do you really want your favorite characters in SF6? They turned Akuma who was already easy to play neutral with into an auto-footsies character in SF6.
>>520981087this is the reason why s3 will be more of the same and why i am leaving SF6 aka dogshit for COTWThis right here , that gameplay casual loop works for them
>>520979886>baiting with pits>if lick pits get killed by knife>but also get to lick pitsQuite the conundrum.
>>520942889>It's what happens when you cut your new generation just to bring back the OGsthey didn't do that in cotwwhere's big bearwhere's chenglawrencemichaelaxelhonfuthe kwap'o error guysetc
>>520981087I'm just curious about what Street Fighter is to this company at this point. If it's going to just be an ad for Capcom, even that's worth a laugh now>>520981852Why did you repeat what I said?
>>520964064well too bad, it's therego cry about some character they could have totally made instead of implementing it bitchbitch
>>520955134I don't see any problem, anon.
>>520981989>Why did you repeat what I said?oh my bad then, i'm rushing through posts
RIP, Keksou.
>>520982864China probably asked for SNK to cut Kensou in XV
>>520983341I like the cut of China's jib, then.
>>520980096>"Just make new character" is a tired meme look at SF6https://www.streetfighter.com/6/buckler/stats/usagerateCharacters like Manon, Marisa, Luke and Jamie are more popular than Guile or Chun-Li.>>520955995Give me Angel instead.
>>520980437They sure touch their parts accidentally when they play strongly each other.
>>520984297>Give me Angel insteadHere
>>520984297Anon those stats are because Guile and Chun-Li don't have exploitable throw loops. Chun-Li is one of the unintentional worst characters IN SF6 at the moment, worse than Mai in the OBTs. They legitimately don't work in SF6's systems. Manon, Marisa and Jamie are rarely played over Luke, the SNK characters or the ShotosIf anything it just makes the decision to cut legacy characters for new shit more unnecessary because none of them fit in SF6's balance
>>520985072The numbers weren't that different back in season 1 when Chun was considered high or top tier for most people. Guile is widely considered to be top tier too or at least high tier. Marisa is widely considered to be the worst character in the game or bottom 3. You overvalue throw loops.
andy when?
>>520990016If we had another guest character I'd prefer his sister.
>>520990016probably june, then ken around evo in august
Mai brap folder when??
Sir my CotW leaks?
>>520992120there were none, surprisingly. just stuff datamined from the beta.
its over jaebros
>>520992481no geese then?
>>520992687unlockable secret boss...believe it!
>>520992481he's dlc.
>>520992481>>520992687>>520992970I told you guys to temper your expectations to just Hokutomaru. if we're lucky, just hope SNK drops a playable boss update like KOFXV otherwise it's just going to be S1. Jae is S2 now
We hit Ranked with hacked in Boss Geese
Any Jae news Hooners?
no goose no buy
>>520992481Fucking Hokutomaru is the final reveal, is XV all over again
>>520994831grown man posting like this.
I love Hokutomaru
I don't play Jennet and yet I have a folder with almost a hundred and half pics of her.
>>520994831Are you that anon that gets mad about the trailers order? kek
>>520998340well happens that i do play her and dont have that folder so please share it with me ;)
>>520998558>"Dudes, you should save the most hype characters for last!">They show off two of the biggest collabs the game has to offer and have garnered the most attention the game has gotten all year back-to-back>"Oh thank God Hokutomaru is last"And none of the prior trailers would have been "more hype" after the shit we've been through
>>521000853>after the shit we've been throughgrow up
>>521000853Geese would've been hype enough
>>521003075geese could still be last second hype reveal, he's literally referenced in the training stage and we know he's in as a boss
Remember the narrative change that's going to happen tomorrow after the reveal. I warned you.
>>521002873I'm not complaining about the game I'm complaining about you faggots who won't shut the fuck up that Freeman was cut>>521003075Was he hype for KOFXV? He was hype for KOFXIV until we found out he didn't do anything. You can't just keep overrelying on Geese to sell your game because then he loses luster. He becomes M. Bison where seeing him is exhausting and boring if you keep trying to shove him into everything. And after the celebs I genuinely don't think people are going to go "wow SNK listened! Based game of all time"Hokutomaru shouldn't have been saved for last but I don't think there was anything else they could have showed outside of Dong or Mr. Big
>>521003270hes probably cut to be free dlc later
>>521003270Sounds like he will be released after the game launch if ever.>>521003896I mean, yeah, the usual petty types are going use this for content.
>>521003896It's going to be a LOT of cope from people going "O-okay SNK now add Jae and Freeman and Duck King and Rick Strowd" with zero apology for their tardrage. Just like nobody praised OBT2 for having good online>>521004652This is what I believe is most likely. it's weird that Geese has so much player data but still isn't playable
What do you guys think the versions of Big Shot and Diet found in the datamines will be used for?I didn't get to play the betas.
>>521005691I figure Episodes of South Town NPC fights. Real question is if there's more music like that available
>>521005691I didn't listen to the datamine tracks, but I assume they're either alternate themes or boss variations (Terry was a boss in Wild Amibition and had "Big Shot XL" as his theme in that situation).
>>521005691When I grabbed them there was no context/sorting so idk>>521006105I'd have to go back and double check but I don't remember any others being that notable. Most of the other tracks similar in that length appeared to be story ending themes.
>>521003896pretty much>we "fans" hate these guest irl characters, we want characters from the franchise!>shows hokutomaru, jae or freeman(rip)>no one wants these boring characters! you should've given us "?" instead!
>>521008738To elaborate on this there are two different partial track lists: One present in OBT1's Jukebox and one in the localization files. They both appear to be incomplete. The one in the OBT1 jukebox is missing Onions Sauce Flavor, the second Kain theme, and CPU Scene: Geese 2, so I'd venture to guess those are part of the playable Geese update coming later
>>521009754the ? character seems to be duck king, everyone knows him because of his goofy theme songs, and not a single one have ever played him in their lives
>>521011382we're getting ksi before we get rick
>Final character revealed tomorrow>Floputomaru who will have 0 hype is who they inexplicably saved for the final revealAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA OH MAN AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>521009754>>521010343A lot of people, especially Americans, are still confused about the whole KoF/FF/AoF thing. The ? character is gonna be Kyo, Iori or any other character they know. If it's an obscure character even better, because there is a higher chance they know Kyo is KoF only, and then they end up saying they want Duo Lon or Shen or something like that. Like Sajam or some other influencer saying something like "Why are they adding Ronaldo? don't they already have sports characters? add Ronaldo as a skin to one of them"
they really should order the trailers better, but then again, there's nobody on the roster back to front aside from the guests that would have really garnered any meaningful attentionhokutomaru only garners some loser "shota" (lmao) fags' attention and he's not even the cute kind that gets ms sunohara's attention
>>521013059They should have had Preecha as the only newcomer and left Vox as a surprise final reveal.
>>521012623Nobody else on the base roster was going to be a worthy last character. Kain in particular is egregious because he was one of the first characters revealed. Their only other plausible options would've been Billy, Dong or Mr. Big and none of those are "hype SNK characters" like you drooling retards want>>521013059They should've dropped trailers at a better pace than they did. When we started getting content droughts after Gato this game's hype was cooked. This is why you should've had more trailers for other game content for Episodes of South Town or had the character breakdowns follow each trailer instead of backloading them during the game's release. Show off the Jukebox's music selection. Do comic/manga tie-ins like SF6. Do SOMETHINGThis is why we got the fucking IRL guests because SNK are so bad at marketing they were forced to bake it into the fucking character roster
>>521013597a surprise that would get the kind of pop michin gets on wwe tv kek
>>521013667>and none of those are "hype SNK characters" like you drooling retards wantSo put Blue Mary in...?
There isn't nearly enough art of a strong adult male(self-insert for me)pounding Hokutoshota's tight boypussy while he begs for moreThe ninja boywife fantasy remains unrealized, why is SNK self-sabotaging like this
imagine if they hadn't wasted 2 dlc slots on slop fighter 6
>>521013887mary isn't gonna get a big pop eitherthe biggest one was for an outfit change for mai, followed by complaints of censorship or "i love this new 'sexier' outfit" or whatever discussion of her new outfit, and that was thatit wasn't even for it being mai specificallysome snk nerd is legit thinking that hokuto is gonna draw dimes when all he does is draw limes and people will go back to talking about real stars like ronaldo and i guess that salvatore guy (?) or wait for real big fg characters like ken and chun (boring predictable picks tho)
>>521014320>mary isn't gonna get a big pop eitherThen why are they selling her as DLC
>>521013887>Put in the character who was in the last two KOFs!If KOF didn't waste her potential, maybe. But prioritizing Kevin was what got Mary cut. She's also not as big of a character as you think she is when Mai's in the game>>521014110Andy is straight now Anon you don't have to pretend anymore>>521014320Honestly I think after the irl guests the boring, predictable picks is kind of nice. I don't think this game needs too many crossovers (even if we're getting two minimum going forward) so I'd rather characters people don't shit themselves over>>521014476We don't even have confirmation of her as DLC. She's in the NPC group. Jae has more playable content than she does
If you look at literally every modern fighting game their post-launch player counts spike highest when they release female characters as DLC, far higher than when they release male DLCCity of the Wolves is gonna flop
>>521014613Anon those players just show up to fap they aren't going to keep player counts up
>>521014554>She's also not as big of a character as you think she is when Mai's in the gameshe is when the game is City of the Sausagefest and not KOF Especially in a game where Hotaru is censored and Preecha is so ugly 2/3 of the prospective fans for the game thought she was a fucking tranny>>521014720They bought the game and the DLC
>>521013667>They should've dropped trailers at a better pace than they did.it's the same argument i was making for xv, but my main argument was just to make character specific trailers ONLY for the new characters or characters that weren't in xiv already, dlc or not, space it out longer so the eagerness can build rather than diminish from too frequent of trailer output, and have a sort of escalation of interest be on which character would get people to care more, which is why cys should obviously have been last in a single trailer together>>521014476because it's snk
>>521014720by this logic CR7 is an even more pointless addition because soccer favelafags are not going to keep the player count up either
>>520836525>>520831894I really really like this image.
>>521014110UHhhhhhhh erotic feet
>>521014765Damn you really unironically posted all that shit. Go commit autoerotic asphyxiation because you're clearly not here to play video games>>521014805The fact the only double reveal we got was Jenet/Vox really makes me wonder if they thought they had more to show off than they did. One or the other would've been fine enough. Probably Vox so they could polish Jenet more than that reveal trailer. But the fact we had to find out about the dual lane stage through datamine is absolutely batshit. If they were afraid of leaks for Ken and Chun-Li (only for them to get leaked anyway) they should've been less secretive of the game content. That'd get the heat off of people's incessant bitching these last couple weeks>>521015023I don't disagree, but at the same time I think SNK wants normies more than they want coomers
>>521015557really dude
>>521015749>The fact the only double reveal we got was Jenet/Vox really makes me wonder if they thought they had more to show off than they did.or, more realistically SNK is just an unserious incompetent company run by retards which is why they've bankrupted themselves multiple times
>>521015818They started the shitpost.
if they didn't buff Mai I'm unironically just passing on this game until Andy comes out
>sylvie schizo, a 40 year old mentally ill man starts ranting incoherently about kof15get a life loser
>>521015938fair enough
what fighting game nerds seem to not understand is that there really is sort of a science to all that trailerismlike let's take abigail in sfv for instanceit's a cool character and quite deep cut to revealjust not a cool character worthy of an evo revealthere are levels to this and it's easy to observe through just watching wwe slop this kind of science, so to speak, play outlet's use another more recent example, ingridclearly she has her haters but it's not something that won't get talked about because hate is still a strong emotion for being vested interest in its own way>>521014554>Honestly I think after the irl guests the boring, predictable picks is kind of nice.reveal orders aren't necessarily for those deep inside the fanbase, you're considered a smark when you're already part of the crowd>>521015749>But the fact we had to find out about the dual lane stage through datamine is absolutely batshit.it's as i said in a way earlier, that feature would have gotten a strong reaction if it was revealed through a trailer, but now it's gonna be like "ok cool they actually confirmed it" and it'll be a little scaled as a consequenceballdrops by snk, not surprisingat least it isn't laces out finkle
>>521016147get better spacingspeaking of life, what isn't alive is kofxv kek
>>521016446you don't play anything so you wouldn't know anyway. you'll be ranting about kof15 when everyone is talking about cotw won't you
>>521015849Also reasonable. Since this is the only game I ever really wanted from SNK, I'm fine with finally checking out from here and if the other games are good I might check them out but I'm definitely not going to pick up a KOFXVI at this rate>>521016202SFV also suffered from being a legacy-focused game so revealing shit like aforementioned Abigail before any of the Season 3 characters for instance. People would've been infinitely more hyped for something like Sagat or even the blonde cop I don't remember the name of. But SFV's newcomers in general had been derided for being mid as shit and part of the issue with that game's entire lifeThey used their EVO reveal for Kevin instead of Billy because they thought Kevin's meta was actually part of his popularity. Rearranging the trailers won't help as much as they think, but they still made really questionable decisions this entire release cycle. But the most questionable is being revealing ANYTHING but the character roster when this game has content. KOFXV at least has the excuse of being the most barebones fighter released in the 2020s, here it's just infinitely more bafflingLike genuine question, why was Mai the only character to have her CPU intro in her trailer?>>521016446>Every single fighting game dropped in players for JP Evo and everyone just migrated to StreetsCurrent gen of fighters is cooked af
>Sausage fest base roster>The only female character in the DLC isn't even an SNK characterwhat are they doing, legitimately
>>521016686i'll be telling the truth about kofxv while all the kofxv diehards, instead of livehards (because it's ridiculous to put live and kofxv in the same breath) get mad that their game isn't being coddled and that's just wrong in their sad clingy stages of grief stricken minds
>>521016983you're the thread lolcow, you will always pick the most deranged option
>>521016928>People would've been infinitely more hyped for something like Sagatsagat was an evo reveal wasn't hewasn't *that* bigbut yeah, the newcomers generally were blehthey really can't seem to top juri>>521017120turn on your monitor
>>521017289monitors aren't mirrors dumb schizo
>>521017501turn on your monitor still
they should've revealed Billy last Or Mai, would've been a good surprise to reveal her after Hokutomaru and with Andy already revealed as DLC
>>521017607They couldn't reveal Mai last because her new costume would end up being revealed in sf6 first
>>521017289Because Capcom character design and writing are shit. They made a character like this and she was a massive flop. People were pretending that the SF6 new gen are "popular" earlier in this thread because they have high player rates when the top of the top is still the same Akuma, Juri, Ryu, Ken and Luke is only up there because he's among the highest tier in viability. Juri was lightning in a bottle that they didn't know how they caught but has such a diehard fanbase that they can do anything with her and people will keep flocking to because they're brainwashed into doing so. One character since 1999 isn't really a WAlso if Sagat of all characters is met by a "meh" then that would be because by Season 3 your game has already completely lost luster. They were still getting in popular characters like Blanka, Sagat and Sakura and by that point people were already burnt out of SFV. 2019 was the only time ever where SFV wasn't the most played game at EVO, it was DBFZBut most fighting games that come out aren't trying to topple Street Fighter they're trying to be Street Fighter. They don't have something that truly makes them stand out. Tekken was coming close, but then Bamco Bamcoed and now they're at genuine threat to losing to CotW this year. If people like the retarded coomer in this thread asking for Blue Mary think CotW isn't going to succeed because of arbitrary factors like "not enough waifus" then I don't think CotW stands a chance at being anything more than #2. But all I would want is for people to actually appreciate Fatal Fury first and foremost rather than pretending a legacy game that barely has earned its legacy like KOF can be the biggest fighting game of all time. If SNK wants KOF to succeed they're going to need make people want KOF and just pushing more KOF was never going to cut itAnd judging by how other fighters are handling too, they aren't in CotW's fortuitous position right now
this nigga pretending like snk is some bastion of good writing and character design the last time this company designed a good character was 1999
>>521018217Okay one mistake. 2018 was DBFZ's debut. Been so long I keep getting the details blurred>>521018421They haven't really proven themselves with KOF because KOF wasn't supposed to a story driven franchise yet KOF was the only fuckin franchise that they made for 20+ yearsMain reason for CotW's quality is they got all the oldheads back from MotW. Same designer, same artist, same writer. Creators are the ones who make shit, not the "owners" and for the most part the "owners" didn't have quality talent from like 2003-2010. Meanwhile when SNK rehired Oda they had him make KOFs when he wanted to work on Fatal Fury. It's on SNK for trying to produce shit to get rich quick instead of actually working. Now that they are allegedly rich, they're letting the creators (and their owner) make what they want
can't think of a character i would reveal last in cotw aside from the guests, but snk's own characters? not enough deep cuts or big enough stars, and a good portion of the characters are ones we *just* saw in kofxv, i would be too tempted to not make character specific trailers>>521018217>Because Capcom character design and writing are shit.so are nu-snk's, snk is just not big enough to matter>Juri was lightning in a bottle that they didn't know how they caughtso many anime and vidya characters are just like that, the author accidentally has a popular character or relationship that the author probably didn't expect and is confused as to why he or she is popularthere was that one game i can't remember that had an ad/trailer for an oc that doesn't even appear in the game and she got so much attention that she overshadowed the fucking gamecan't remember what game so i can't figure out how to search for her pic
>>521018217>because he's among the highest tier in viabilityDo you even follow sf6? Luke is weak as hell this season. Noah is the only pro still playing the character. He is popular. The newcomers in general are popular. I know you have a narrative in your head that needs them to be failures for it to make sense but fact of the matter is that Luke, Jamie, Marisa and Manon are popular characters. JP and AKI are whatever. Kimberly and Lily they need to go back to the drawing board. That is if we're talking SF6 newbies. Ed was a big success with a high playrate in SF5 that is being maintained in SF6 despite the completely different moveset.
>>521019005That's why my only hypothetical would've been Mr. Big. He's a character that they clearly wanted to be one of the game's main antagonists and would've made up for Freeman's cut. He's an actually good deep cut and would've changed the perspective of CotW going forward making people go "holy shit what else is possible??"But then they revealed him as the end of the DLC Pass and yet crunched Dong Hwan into base? I get not wanting to have the Kims as Season 2 since that would be fucked up, but now Jae is so they completely lost that momentumAs for the OC I think it was an EA game>>521019418How long is that going to last for? Sure doesn't seem like Capcom care about anybody but the OGs when even popular characters from Alpha or III can just miss a game for 3 years just because SNK crossovers are somehow more exciting and profitable. It's not even like they're writing or putting effort into why the roster is the way it is, it's just them trying to shill as hard as they possibly could. After time's dulled the game's appeal, will they even be back in a SF7? Then again I guess SF7 won't be happening in 10 years because the 4 character DLC seasons are going to keep the game stagnated
>>521018421nah i like vox, I think he looks like edge kino that fits the 2007/2008 period
>>521019005gato or geese would be good last picks, and I still think geese might turn out to be 18th unlockable >>521019418lilly, marisa, and manon are not popular gtfo LOL. only decent new character is JP, sadly his moveset is just horrendous for a SF
>>521020402Gato was already in KOFXV as was Geese. That's why I say Mr. Big is the only reasonable choice because he's a from scratch lore crossover main antagonist. Plus his redesign is slick as fuck. If I were going to sacrifice Dong Hwan to get him on base roster I 100% would have
>>521020127>That's why my only hypothetical would've been Mr. Bigi would agree with you, but they don't seem to be doing dlc reveals outside of jpegs, and they already kinda spoiled it by doing that jpeg reveal so it'd be less of a surprise
>>521020402>lillyI said for her and Kimberly they should go back to the drawing board. But you're mistaking popular for "thing I like". I remember this disconnect when Ed was announced, when people here and influencers were questioning why were they bringing back this lame character no one liked as if he wasn't the most successful newcomer from SF5. I like JP and don't particularly like Manon but I remember at launch in particular Manon was one of the characters getting the most fanart and cosplay attention, I know my opinion isn't the majority.
Ok, now that XIIIGM is fixed, should I get it?
>>521020889I'm not saying as a jpeg DLC reveal I'm saying as a base roster character. He should've been prioritized over Dong. Can't even say "to sell copies" as an excuse since it's free DLC. If they revealed Hokutomaru in January and then Mr. Big tomorrow and Dong could be saved for the end of the DLC Pass along with Jae (only hypothetically giving SNK more time to finish Jae since 6 characters is more than 5) this would've been great momentum. But Dong is in now, so this is only the best outcome we could've gotten with how they prioritized the roster. Maybe you could've swapped him for Hokutomaru, but I think people would be asking "where the fuck is Jae?" regardless
>>521018217>They made a character like this and she was a massive flop.How do you fuck up the sex bomb?
>>521018421>the last time this company designed a good character was 1999Going by design alone IMO: Luong, Bandeiras, Antonov, KoD(ignore the Tizoc conspiracy he is a new character), Isla, Dolores and Kukri
>>521021415>I'm not saying as a jpeg DLC reveal I'm saying as a base roster character.oh ok i get you thenyeah, he'd def be a big (kek) last base roster rev

>>520913937>The guest characters were always planned early on in developmentYes, meaning they took resources from other areas of development, which includes other characters. So the idea they didn't take any roster spots from ANYBODY is objectively wrong, since early on those rosters spots could have been planned for other people. How do you NOT understand something so painstakingly simple?
