Lol.....
>>538820141You could balance a plate on that forehead Chizuru's got
>>538823016This but Blue Mary
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFN8nxtAlEM&t=2665sAny good SNK music
>>538823752Blue Mary ain't that popular
>>538823596thats iincho from rival schools
>>538823016If Mai were this popular, then CoTW wouldn't be a flop. If another hot SNK girl had been in SF6 instead of her, it would have had a bigger impact. The problem with SNK is that they don't know how to use their girls other than Mai. They're lazy and always take the safe option. Besides, let's face it, Mai is too dumb, basic, and shallow to be the protagonist of a game. Her role will always be that of the pretty poster girl of any game, but unimportant in the lore.
>>538838340You could put goku as a protagonist and it still wouldn't matter if it looks like ass
>>538817936oh it's not hurting anybody
>>538839569>and it still wouldn't matter if it looks like assthis anon gets itjust because the few of you think "it looks fine" doesn't mean the average person doesand you can complain about sf6's aesthetics but it does you no good when cotw neither looks pretty nor anywhere close to the current level of technology so snk double loses
>>538838340Mai was doomed to just be a pretty but shallow girl in the moment SNK decided she had to lust over bland ass Andy instead of Terry, you know, the actual FF protagonist. It ruined any chances she ever had of being someone important the South Town universe.
>>538823016It is surprising Mai never got an incredibly small budget pixel 2D platformer or something way back in the day.>>538846573Mai is pretty much a joke character and supposed to be obnoxious, i think her being a love interest to the main protag would actually get really annoying really quickly. I think it only works since it's not that important and it's not focused on the MC.
Is it better to colect these when it hits 11 hours or wait the full 12 hours?
Bruh...Look at what they turned my girl into
>>538851487I see nothing wrong. Mai was always a slut, at least now in SF6 she's also strong, have better graphics and her classic costume is available to use
I want get into playing classic Neo Geo games. Question, which button layout on a standard controller is better? Or is just a personal preference? And no, I'm not buying or building an arcade stick.Layout 1 is used in all modern SNK fighters, and ports of older fighters, and in the official new edition NGCD controller. Layout 2 is used in most ports of older Neo Geo games, default config in most emulators, and in the old NGCD controller.
Is there anyone who likes Mai for her personality?
>>538858357As long as her tits are bouncing and her ass is bare, I don't think 99% of her fans will care that she's a basic whore with an annoying personality.
>>538858357Aaaaandyyyy
Andy is the wrong answer
>>538858357What personality?
wmaf is my favorite personality
>>538874932We know, brown people love racemixing
SNK is doing well enough to have an office expansion. Maybe we doom too heavy
>>538868043>Thinking about Andy>Acting like a bitch towards other female fighters.Granted, that could just be KOF simplifying her like Kim being obsessed with justice or Ryo being obsessed with training or Yuri acting like a teenager when she's 20.
bump
Uuuuh Terrybros? Are we okay?
>>538858149>Or is just a personal preference?Definitely. I use 1 because it makes the most sense to me.
>>538888657>Terry finally just got an English VA and is already going to lose itGrim
>>538883975>wellthey have a private investor with loads of doshthat is the only way they are "doing well"they don't have to profit at all
>>538883975I'm saudi and want to contact PIF to tell them to fire odahow can i do it
>>538888657LOL
>>538888657snk is dei now so they'll be like "yay, on the RI-, er, CORRECT side of history"
>>538894691btw I almost had a job in PIF. Hating myself for not going for it since I'd be able to connect with a guy who handles that shit and tip him off
>>538888657>Pithy racist quip>When the guy didn't even said the color of the gangAmerican liberals are such retarded hypocrites kek
>>538888657based and left-pilled
>>538897990Left-pilled is the total opposite of based
>>538847378I mean in a ideal world Mai would actually develop as a character while getting more involved in the plot. But it seems SNK is allergic to this, that's why they keep holding back their characters for 30 years and counting (see Kyo x Iori rivalry, Kensou simping for Athena or Kula becoming even more retarded now compared to when she first showed up).
>>538888657SNK doesn't give a fuck about any of this
>>538900409Are we sure about that? In the previous administration SNK bent the knee to the left mob just because of horny Iroha jokes on twitter
>>538902007thisi stand by my previous comments that snk has been infiltrated by the dei left
>>538893242Didn't something like this happen to Ken/Dante's previous English actor?
>>538888657This scummy faggot is so irrelevant that he's going underradar.But he should be fired.Man, vidya is industry is beyond woke, they are simply human garbage.
it's exactly the future this place wantedwhen i tried to fight against it
>>538902007I'm still salty about that
>>538929165ruru's body count?
>>5389298650
>>538902007Anon, that person was literally joking. The anon who brought that up literally confessed he just made it up. It's just so stupid that everyone believed it was something SNK would do.
>>538936727>that person was literally jokingjokes usually are funnymuch like the definition of "female" i guess the meaning of "joke" has also changed

>>538943120how hard is it to do these combos?
>>538902007With Saudi's having a stake, does SNK bend the knee to how much sex appeal they can put on their games?
>>538937086Anon are you okay? What does that even have to do with this?
>>538947186>are you okay?
>>538838340Yeah, I like Mai, but she has no goal or cause. There's no revenge, enlightenment, betrayal in her lore. She's just there. Love the character, but that's why (hate to bring up Capcom) Chun Li is better, why even Blue Mary is better suited. Still, I'd rather have Mai over Mary in FF if I had to choose.
>>538951808it's okay to have that type of character who doesn't have any real personal stake outside just winning or even mirth of the fight, even in things in mma and boxing the only time they get personal normally is during the prebout setup itself but mostly it's just competition and moneyon the other hand, it's just that cotw reduced nearly everyone to having no real stakes as well and the story setup isn't even logical
>>538858357Yes, unironically. She's an incredibly fun character and I love how vain she is. Also I'm a sucker for the Ojou-sama laugh.>>538900329KOF's popularity superseding every other series definitely locked a ton of characters into a status quo, perhaps they would evolve more if KOF wasn't so formulaic.
>>538933905Well it's about to be 1 soon
>>538936727You're a newfag retard. It happened back in 2019
>>538969069i was confused as to what statement he was saying someone admitted to being a joke, because i don't see anyone in the thread saying anything about joking within the vicinity of that post
>>538965623I remember reading somewhere that in the Maximum Impact games Athena was apparently in a relationship with Kensou but kept it a secret. Though, maybe they had more freedom since Maximum Impact was its own thing and not connected to the main series. Like the GBA games having 10 sacred treasures rather than just 3.
UFA top 8 is about to start.
Losing to Angel right now
Thank god they got onsite commentators. I was confused as hell earlier why SF6 pools commentators were operating from a room watching live footage.
Oh nice, another chink company is making KOF figures.This one has done so far figures of DC films and they are pretty damn good at an excellent price.
>>539002003Haven't tried buying FondJoy's figs. Is the quality good?I hope it's not just figs based on the 98UM roster. Though I'm happy with Orochi Yashiro and Goenitz from Storm, I want more from the latter games like Elisabeth, Krizalid, Oswald, and Shen from the other fig brands.
>>539006989Cute!
>>539006516It is pretty high quality, around the same as an SH Figuarts although the articulation is not as good as a Mafex. Still, the sculpting is beautiful and they've nailed the extra faces with the actors' likeness. The best thing about them is still the price, going from $30 to $50, although they seem to give different priorities to their figures, a lot of people has had problems with articulations snapping off on figures like Battinson or Gunn's Supes but all the Batflecks they've released haven't had problems
>>539008973>It is pretty high quality, around the same as an SH Figuarts although the articulation is not as good as a MafexThough I own an SHF fig, I don't have a Mafex. But I get that it got better poseability based on your description.>although they seem to give different priorities to their figures, a lot of people has had problems with articulations snapping off on figures like Battinson or Gunn's Supes but all the Batflecks they've released haven't had problemsThat's what I'm afraid of. Hard to determine if I'm gonna get a lemon or not, since I'm gonna try out a lot of poses before I settle on one.Thanks for the short review!

>>538888657i got banned on /v/ because this was "offtopic"
>only 60 viewers on twitch on saturday night, and 50 of them are just for one channel streaming an event.at this point just recycle blue mary, yamazaki and kim from kof xv, add Krauser for season 2 and just end the support for this game, focus on KOF XVI, COTW doesn't have any salvation
Saw this post about Rivals 2, but it applies to CotW...> It's a game designed by sweaty try-hards for sweaty try-hards to enjoy. > It's very well-done, but by its very nature, a game like this can only ever be niche.> I think the problem is that they aren't actually getting the sweaty try-hards either.
>>539039175Rivals 2 has more players and viewers than COTW and is a franchise even more unknown than Fatal Fury with a smaller budget and promotionEven sys:celes has more playersCOTW has one of the most famous persons in the world and one of the most famous fighting game characters and is still a failure
>>539039894I don't know why you're offended that I likened CotW to Rivals 2 LMAO. It's just a Matryoshka doll of niches within niches. CotW's a game with easy "combozzz"... that after doing too many becomes too restrictive after going into Overheat. a game with powerful "parryslop"... that's too hard to do without practice (especially during unstable netplay)a game with boring and simple defense... that's too tedious to deal with for both attacking and defending players You can see how it only appeals to a small subset of players.
>>539026251The game is pretty boring. I only installed it to see the character art. At this point, that's the only thing worthwhile.
Happy (unofficial) birthday to Iroha!
>>539037540COTW's performance just has to make the people at SNK reevaluate how their products are, especially compared to the competition. If all the marketing in the world from being shilled at big televised-events, famous e-celebs, shoving a famous Football star in your game, having a crossover with Capcom, and Capcom even literally advertising the game in their own can net them nothing but potentially the lowest-selling modern SNK game yet, PC base hitting double-digits routinely now only a few months after release, barely being more populated than niche Anime-Fighters and decade-old games, almost no relevance/community outside the very tiny SNK-bubble, and no relevant content-creators that makes videos about it besides like Max Dood once in a blue-moon, that has to tell you that there's just something fundamentally unappealing about your game/products.Can't even use no-marketing as an excuse this time. COTW had the most, and biggest marketing possible rivaling the Big 3, more than the rest of the genre ever gets, and all it amounted to was maybe the worst performance of a Fighting Game in years. If AOF 4 is a thing that's still happening, how are they going to go about it? Like they can't just go about it the same way they have been with their games since 2016. A product with a little fun/ok gameplay, and severely low-effort everything else. Does SNK even really care? It doesn't seem like they do. Because with all the mistakes and floundering they've been having with everything they've been putting out, nothing about their games and the way they make them seems to ever evolve. Maybe they're somehow still profitable despite it all. I mean Samsho 2019 was apparently despite SNK doing everything they can to sodomize it. Maybe COTW is somehow still a success despite the lower-sales, lower player-retention, and the CEO mysteriously leaving a month after release.
>>539057153>If AOF 4 is a thing that's still happening, how are they going to go about it?they're instead going to think "we didntu do enoughu, we needu to putu arr logou in super bowlu fieldu!!!" while commentators or somebody begrudgingly try out the game during halftime because they're by then most likely owned by sowdeys with infinite monies, if that's not already the caseseriously, your post can bring up how they should self-reflect, but snk just seems to fail at even that and go in the complete headass opposite direction>Does SNK even really care?when someone gets guaranteed money, are they really incentivized to? it's like pro rasslers with guaranteed contractsthere's no way they're profitable given the bottom line aspect, that even that supposed 2.5 mil figure that someone theorizes they could have made from the game could pay down any of their several years of bills, including payroll and operations of not just one, but now three office building leases, at least not with the inhouse games alonewhich would lead to licensing things out for stuff like statues, that's where the real money comes from and that's clearly mainly on mai shiranuiand do you see a statue of her current costume in the works?
>>539058761if prorasslin was too MARKish of a topic, let me bring up a more ~real~ fight subjectmike tyson got paid 10 mil to job to jake paul and while we all knew that on the inside, and i even said that if you slowed down the video of the fight at key points, you could see tyson literally pull one of his knockout punches that would have nailed jake clean in the chin and that just shows how tyson even at his current age is fuckin scary that i'd run if he tried to box me even for "fun"but the point is, it only got officially revealed by tyson himself when jake paul decided to run his mouth a little too much, and it goes to show that people are willing to lose if the money is right there, which is a bit of a dignity and integrity cut
>>539057153Not who you replied to but this whole thing is fascinating. CotW seems to be offputting to everyone. Whether it's the 2nd beta that lost half the players from the 1st beta, the release where it launched with less players than the second beta, the character releases that lift player count for barely a week if that, the recent sale that has had no effect on long term player count, ~1/3 of EVO registrations straight up DQing, or the new all time lows for player count. People straight up don't like the game.I'm fairly new to the FGC. The conversation around CotW has opened my eyes to how much people in the community, and videogames as a whole, are in denial or straight up lying online.
>>539059772>People straight up don't like the game.it's not even like the game itself is TERRIBLE, it's just overwhelmingly mediocre and has nothing standing out for it and visually it's a piece of crap so it can't even pull at least the grafics fags, and lorewise it did absolutely nothing but cheaply "resolve" things in the most underwhelming, anticlimatic fashionand to a lot of people, it's like temu sf6 and whether you agree or not with that is beside the pointno characters people really care about, noone they can feel invested in, noone they can even care to fap to, it's like a game made by old ED-sufferers/women/nu-males trying to remodel a franchise without straying TOO far from the original fanbase at their cheap skill level and downplaying the grit and real conflict because everyone's gotta be friends in the endand in the end, what they came up with appeals to NOBODY in the end as a consequence of their design philosophies coupled with their subpar talentkk, by god, i know you ain't got no lev in your company, but holy shit, if they somehow don't understand any of what's being said here
I downloaded that first beta and that Menu screen looked so fucking boring. I was shocked. Enough to turn you off the game.
>>539061010>noone they can even care to fap todo allow me to call you mr. wrong

https://www.mobygames.com/game/240924/fatal-fury-city-of-the-wolves-special-edition/credits/windows/Not sure who the "battle director" was. Was it Hayato Konya? I think Koichi was just giving player feedback. And LMAO at the guy naming himself "Franco Bash" and not wanting his name on this game. I will always maintain that the best part of CotW is it's battle design. There is the polarizing, uncompromising vision of how all the system mechanics should work together. Something this "tightly" designed isn't just slapping extra mechanics onto MotW haphazardly, as some want to believe. It's a thoughtful expansion of MotW's system.

>>539091006It's better than the other generals. Obviously not active but you get better discussion/tekgen/ and /sfg/ barely have any discussion.
>>538855290good morning saar!
>>539091006Waifus and shit posting
>>539037540>at this point just recycleThat's one of the things that got them into this trouble in the first place. The games just aren't good enough. Point blank. I like and have bought them, but they are nothing special.
>>539043086Nu SNK games are too much about fishing for a far hit that leads to EX combos. In KoF 14-15, it was>standing far C or D/crouching LK > Max Mode > EX combosIn COTW, it's>standing/crouching far C or D > EX combosNever liked the idea of special canceling off far normals. Seems cheap. Hated Isla and a few others having it in XV. Now you can EX off them, but I that's the way COTW is programmed, so I guess they can't take it out.
>>539061285The title screen is not terrible, but it's faaaaaar behind modern games. Anyone who plays games with actual big budgets will notice how cheap it looks. Now I don't mind the menus, but I'm also not in a bubble. and know what modern presentation is. They could've had different menus taking the camera panning and flying through different pages of a COTW pop art style comic with different characters in full 3D. But whatever.
>>539117634>but I that's the way COTW is programmed, so I guess they can't take it out.it's not like they can't program it out, it's just flags and state machines and the likeat least i hope that's how they're making it because if they're not then they dumbed themselvesbut it's more like it's too late in the game to do it without possibly upsetting combo labbers and the likemaybe if there was a champion edition
>>539091006If you dislike it so much, you can leave here and never come back.
Ah, imagine what could've been... a Hyper Drive headlined with Samsho7, KOFXV, and COTWI think this was the last (maybe the first?) independent SNK-only tournament in NA -- and the pandemic was the biggest factor in killing it off.

pretty sure I am the only person on /v/ that remembers a java blackberry SNK girls beach game.
I thought Fatal Fury was really fun to play and spectate when it initially came out, because it had strong defensive mechanics, flashy combos and a really diverse roster, but after the first few weeks or so, it became painfully obvious that 4 characters were way better than everybody else, and of course I'm talking about: Kain, Hotaru, Billy and Hokutomaru. I wasn't too worried about it at the beginning because the game was still new and I was convinced that it would get better over time, but it's been almost 6 months later and literally nothing has changed. Every single tournament is still being dominated by the same 4 characters, and of the 22 players that have qualified for the SNK World Championship, only Diaphone (Ronaldo) and Dark Angel (Terry) are not using someone in the top 4, which is really sad to see, because I really think the game has some interesting characters, but you won't see the vast majority of them on screen because there's just no reason to play anyone outside of the top tiers. I hope SNK does something soon because I can't think of any good reason to have your 2.5 million dollar tournament filled with mostly mirror matches from start to finish.
>>539225167Competitive players are still tier-whoring extra hard, despite the nerfs to the top tiers and the buffs for the rest in patch 1.3.1. * no reason to switch characters you've already invested in.* less players means that it's harder to train new characters. * why put time into an unpopular game? A chance at all that prize money is not worth jeopardizing your current life.

Oda seemed to think the game would sell solely on it's reputation of being the sequel to MOTW.

>>539242321NTA but I just copypasted the post to google and it's the first result.
>>539308050It's over beyond what we can even classify within the realm of being over
>game so shit not even a million dollars prize pool could save itgrim
>>539319245grumble grumble th-three years of support
>>539319361Well, 3 years of being obligated to show up at EWC does not necessarily mean 3 years of consistent support. But as SNK's main game, I expect the bare minimum of DLC dumping, occasional balance changes, and 1 new mechanic (just like what happened with KOF15, LOL)
>>539321183rev expectation shatterer
My HEROES.
i love how masami transformed krauser from a mulleted stalin looking guy to a no mustached vampire looking guy who loves to play his pipe organ
>>539308050>>539313486>>539319245>>539319361The Kyoshizo warned you all, yet you would not listen, and in your arrogance you mocked him; thus shall the weight of his words fall upon you.
>>539336518legendary kyoschizo, i am sorry, how could i have doubted you so
>>539308050Surely it won't ever drop below 100 in 24 hours? Right? Wolf pack?
surely joe will boost things back up!
>>539283179Who cares? Kyo is a has-been.
The steamcharts have reached Guilty Gear Xrd levels lmao
HOW HAS KOF GAINED PLAYERS FOR THE PAST TWO MONTHS
>>539036974You deserved it, /pol/fag
I wonder if SNK lost the source code for this game too... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQnJ7L35Ioo
Clearly they should've made more commercials where Terry and Rock get their shit beaten by real life saudi adjacent boxers.
>>539348380KOF is the best fighting game series ever made, that's how.
>>539362117The weak should fear the strong
>>539326759Why didn't Krauser have his mustache?
>>539378240Obari hates mustaches
>>539348380The worst KOFs are still miles ahead COTW
Kofafkno1200 summon code coupon
My sides
I understand it in KOF, but why on Earth can't you link light specials from cr.LK in COTW? It limits combo potential. eg: >playing as Ken>OK, he's SF.>can't do: cr.LP > cr.LK > light Hurricane.>It HAS TO BE cr.LP > HURRICANESame with Terry, Mai, Vox, and everyone else.
>>539348380SNK bros are poor, and there's a whole generation now who weren't in the arcade era. SNK and its imposters have only been making KOF for 25 years now. Why would 23yos, even 29yos, know about Fatal Fury? Most people who knew about the series have moved on with their lives.
>>539308050Where are all the fags who screamed adding Ronaldo and dumbing down the inputs would boost sales? Where's Max, who confronted the devs to change the Hidden Gauge inputs for casuals, simply cause ppl couldn't do them at the FIRST play test? Where are the people insisting modern mode would bring people in? We fucking told you so.
>>539259119He thought internet FGC hype was real. They should've never let regular people have the internet. They are too naive for it.
>>539225167Even messing around with all the characters, you can see who has better hitboxes. Billy's cane goes through people and doesn't hit. Vox's sweep goes through feet, and on and on. It's just sloppy. And it's the same in every 3D kof so far. So easily to fix as well, which means if SNK aren't fixing it, they must not see the problem and be bad at their jobs. It's the only conclusion.
>>539230776>* no reason to switch characters you've already invested inBullshit. The reason is a million dollars. These pro FGC players are whores to the extreme. They would sell their own sphincters, their own families, for 10 grand. "they're too invested in the character!" LMAO. Drop the cope. The game is still badly balanced.
>>539065249>>539074231>THE ACTUAL GAME IS GOOD BUT ISSA NOT POPULAR SO I'M MAD GRRRRRplease just enjoy snk, old new whatever. There is no point in acting like you guys know a damn thing about game development, business, or marketing.
>>539419140>Billy's cane goes through people and doesn't hit. Vox's sweep goes through feet, and on and on. It's just sloppy.This applies to literally every fucking fighting game, where did you retards even come from.
>>539358082You can still buy and purchase this game digitally
>>539321183>The game is going to get balance changes and the three seasons of DLC like promised hahahahahaYou sound ass blasted.
Evo France numbers
>>539420234>This applies to literally every fucking fighting game,Not like that it don't. Every fighting game has DLC, too. Didn't mean XV's wasn't dogshit. Sit down, stop talking, and for god's sake, take your fucking pills.
>>539426674Shut your dumbass up.In other news.
>>539419735you don't know a thing about enjoy development
>>539419735The actual game is fine. Not great or even good, just fine. That's the problem with newer SNK games
>>539430462"Fine" is better than all the other trash out right now. :) but I actually don't expect a well measured response from you.
>>539429335amazing i can't wait for a 3 player count boost
Should SNK just give up on competitive fighting games and focus on single player games like metal slug?
>>539430664As a package? Not really. It plays a little bit better but it's worse in every other aspect, rev blow is also still as bad as other slop mechanics
>>539431160they should just give up
Why are they already calling it Season Pass 1?People here told me they would drop the game after Mr. Big.
>>539431434I think the issue of SNK is to hyperfocus on a genre that zoomers don't play and the /fgc/ doesn't care about SNK fighters.I would focus on single player games using kof characters like beatem ups and JRPGs.Make a rebranding like how DOA devs realized they could just skip making a fighter and just make waifu pantsu pantie volleyball fun adventure.
>>539431638they should do as i said and have multiple teams build smaller games if they're not preoccupied with anything else to get them trained up and better acquainted with their tools and get more immediate finer tuned feedbackthey have so many people on staff, that's a large payroll figure for no reason
>>539431252Yeah, you're a retard. The package of SF6 comes with premium paid battle passes, premium currency, and non-functional jukebox and less colors options than any sf game than proceeded it. If you're gonna mention the single player mode, most players haven't even touched it.And rev blow isn't as bad as anybody the mechanics in SF6. Rev blows are blockable in the corner, don't combo without counter hit, and do not force counter hit on recovery of moves. And you don't need meter at all to deal with it
>>539431897clearly SNK issue is not realizing that arcades have been dead for 30 years.they're still making games for an audience that doesn't exist.they seriously need to do market analisis instead of making another 2D team fighter or another fighting game from some irrelevant dead IP from a console nobody gives a shit.It's like if Atari started to push Atari classics as some big newer system seller, and pretend zoomers give a shit about centipede or missile commando.
>>539431946SF6 also has good UIs, good online system, more customization, more costumes, better stages, better lobbies, better tutorials, better Terry and Mai (lol) and yes good offline content that you're trying to discredit.Rev blow can be done in the air, comes out fast compared to DI and can't be stopped with normal attacks.I don't know how you're so good at deluding yourself like this, I almost respect it.
>>539433001>and can't be stopped with normal attacks.lol, the shitposters here literally just make shit up at times and it's funny to see. They have Max level knowledge of the game.
>>539433001>can't be stopped with normal attacks.Yes, it can, you lying bitch. and Terry is better in COTW, and Mai is dumbed down in SF6 and missing moves.>Better anything.They mailed this character. At every turn I will prove you wrong, because you don't play the games at a level to be able to speak on them, and I do.
>>539433125>>539433402You can't stop it by normals (ex mashing lights in sf6) How is that wrong?>>539433402>and Terry is better in COTWhe's more fun to play in 6 and has more moves, devs gave him more love there in general.6 looks ugly sure but be careful about throwing stones while in a glass house when you have Kevin and Ronaldo in the game
>>539433910>You can't stop it by normalsThere is literally a universal normal that is literally coded to counter revs blows.
>SamSho twitter owner does horny posting over Iroha, a character that is literally designed for it by her existence and lore.>Multiple people in the FGC run a sexism and anti-women campaign against the account and bullies the entire social media presence into getting gutted>SF6 media accounts does feet posting, horny Mai posting, Juri posting, etc>"The marketing team is on fire!!!. Slay gurl slay!"How does it make sense?
>>539433910>You can't stop it by normals (ex mashing lights in sf6) How is that wrong?Yes, you can, retard. And as mentioned you can also stop it using meterless universal low crush or high crush moves. Not to mention you only have access to it while in SPG. you fucking suck at SF6 and COTW, so please stop speaking on these games you know jack shit about.
Starting next year SNK games are going to have guaranteed spots at all Evo tournaments on top of EWC support until 2027 for COTW. :)
>>539434035Both me and you know that's not reliable most of the time, especially when you're against characters like Kain and Rock. You've apparently played the game enough to know right?
>>539434824>Yes, you can, retardNo. You cannot. You might want to open the game sometimes.Your tantrum won't change the fact that rev blow is a worse offense in this game than DI.
>>539435106>Both me and you know that's not reliable most of the timeSo you can stop it with normals and you were just lying and/or shit?
>>539435472You're a disingenuous moron. I hope the payroll's good enough at least, assuming you have one.
>>539435575There are just as many ways to counter Rev Blow as Drive Impact in SF6. It's not our fault you're still getting blown up by Week 1 gimmicks. There's not even checkmate meaty Rev Blow scenarios you have to worry about either and it doesn't do that retarded guard break shit if you're near a wall. You're not even forced to react to Rev Blows either and you can just block them with no risk of getting wall slumped or losing screen position.
>>539435935Yeah let me just keep blocking them while you keep mashing them like a gorilla because some genius at SNK thought some of them should be plus on block. Oh and don't forget the screen traveling Kain and 2 hits Rev blow Hokuto. Oh shit I'm in the air now and he pressed the unga bunga button, time to eat shit. Such good game design. I wonder why we have 145 players.
NOOOOOOOO WHY AREN'T ALLL REV BLOWS THE EXACT SAME!!!They should have the same hitboxes, same started, same recovery, same evasion properties, same damage, etc.Why do things have to be different? Why do I have to learn specific punishes for certain rev blows? WHY!?!?!? I should be able to do the same universal reaction check everytime, this should be Simon Says.Why isn't everything the SAAAAAAAMMMMEEE??
>>539436414>and 2 hits Rev blow HokutoI like how most people here out themselves as such shitters at the game. And then most of their complaints about the game are about how it doesn't baby them as well.
>>539437080Rev blow is peak baby mechanic if you're so against the so-called simplification of the genre you wouldn't want it anywhere near the game.
>>539437357If it's a baby mechanic, then why is every characters rev blow unique? With different hurt/hitboxes, screen movement, frame data, evasion properties, damage/knockdown, etc.Current fighting game modernization logic would dictate that they would all be the same with just minor animation differences, so that it's fair for everyone and beginners. So why are they all different, with pros and benefits?
>>539435014And that's a good thing!
they should bring back sprites hehe yeah but like real bout 2's yeah heh
>>539440569Yes? Other companies do it and their game is a success
>>539441412like?
>>539441861All of them
>>539397212Even XII?
>>539442482Lol
>>539440569Legitimately the RB2 style probably would've worked better than the insane workload they did for KOF13 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-r4Gs6ESV4
I fucking love this figure
>>539453238Was Super Yan who started it?.lolWhat a power trip it should have been for someone who is only known for having fat boobs.
> "We don't actually hate CotW, we just want more KOF." I'm sure you want more KOF, but a lot of you here definitely hate CotW.
>>539457740yeah, it was super yan who was the catalyst for itshe claimed that "horny" was, i forget the exact wording she used but it was said in a way that suggested that men use it to objectify women and that she felt oppressed or discomforted by it because of suchlook at her twitter pfp too, she a white ass looking bitch who looks ready to discuss what she's ick'd by on tiktok
>>539429335I thought they'd release Joe at the beginning of October (in line with 2 months after the EVO Ken release shift at the beginning of August). Now it seems like they're going back to the old schedule with a release after SWC.
>>539464184all dat every two months excitementthese are your professional grade game developers
>>539308050>People need to realize that the reason COTW wasn't mega hit billion dollar sf6 killer, is cuz on release people didn't know wtf a fatal fury was. Give it time, it's building a player base, and the skill ceiling is just gonna bring those #s higher and hig-ACK!
>>539464184What about any of that implies that Joe won't be released until after SWC? Did you really just completely make up some shit to be upset about?
>>539419279? My argument was actually the opposite: the game is better balanced after the 1.3.1 patch, but the the top tiers are still on top, so the tier-whores have no reason to do extra work for themselves and switch characters.
>>539467843Is it _that_ out-of-pocket to assume that after releasing Ken at the beginning of August that Joe would be released 2 months later at the beginning of October?!
>>539470940SWC isn't until November, which is when you were implying Joe would be released.
>>539440569Yup, Hollow Knight proves anon is right
>>539407562Whoops meant kofafk200
>>539479067a more appropriate comparison would be other games like the genre like UNI and Melty Blood, despite having great spritework nobody gives a shit about them. Most of the people who would buy Hollow Knight or Silksong don't give a shit about fighting games
>>539458913What a disgusting attention-seeking creature profiting from the politics of the day. Lose weight if you want to be looked at by someone who isn't a fatty fetishist.Anyway, yes, it feels like Capcom will always do whatever it wants because it'll have a parade of bots who will applaud no matter what.It's also true that this is achieved with years of work, both in the games themselves and with hired guns on social media.
Ded
alive......
>>538783130Is it worth it?
>>539513048The fuck is that
>>539524870I didn't know it was published in spanish
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79RN_fZAC7s&t=1s
>>539513048Nope, looks like chinese crap
>>539434528Maybe in truth, SNK fans are leftists? Even here they post resetera posts
>>539479067Sprites do have a future in gaming but Hollow Knight is not a good example, that game sells for $15, they practically give the game away. A $50 - $70 price tag would have been a MUCH harder sell
>>539525330It was published in brazil
>>539479653Melty Blood probably sold better than COTW lmao
I never asked you to forgive me.
^sad creature
Oh so now you guys like the re-use of assets from over a decade ago
>>539525302Yuri deserved better
Preecha and Dong are under the radar
>>5394345281. Slight culture shift. Post-2022 SJWs had to cut back hard on bitching about fictional sexism due to the rampant porn on social media, rise of fanservice is areas like vtubers and gacha games, and the rise of the Anti-Woke so they have to pretend to all of sudden be okay with sexualization2. Popularity and brand reputation. With Capcom games being more popular than ever and garnering a good reputation again they can get away with anything and their fandom will defend it, so Capcom is popular enough to get away with blatant pandering marketing without too much controversy.
Do you guys not realize they can't just allocate big budgets to these games because they probably sell like 500k max? If you want them to get big budgets then support and make them million sellers.
>Take a month off because the game is just SF6 lite>Play a few ranked matches (which took almost 5 solid minutes to get, each)>"rookie" C-I player with input macros and optimized combos>SS-I ranked player that does wake up super 100% of the time no matter how often it's blocked or what approach I useSo it's still dogshit, huh? They didn't bother to finish the game with the Ken patch and they still expect anyone to give a shit about a Joe demo?
You faggots were all coping that cotw is actually a good game, but now none kf you are playing it.
>>539555329They should first make a good product for people to support them. And budget is not an issue, you can do a lot with art style. Dark Souls 1 and Bloodborne aren’t good graphics wise, but they look stunning and blow games like god of shit ragnarok out of the water for example
sauce on this birb?
>Marvel vs Capcom fighting collection has reached 1 million salesKek what about cotw
>>539555690OK, the ranked match wait-time (due to lower player population) is a valid criticism.But complaining about the type of players you'll still see in all other fighters is just a reach.
Are there any games with 3D characters, aside from SF6 and SNK Heroines, where Mai's feet are partially exposed in at least one skin?
>>539525302It's ironic that the best looking 3d Yuri is the first one (Maximum Impact).
>>539565398Gonna disagreeWith XV, her eyes are better
>>539570427>her eyes are betterToo big
>>539557528Those still had more money put into them than any new snk game. They're from companies who usually sell millions. The only reason snk's product aren't up to date is because fans have never supported them
Been playing a lot of Samsho 3 lately. Feel like SNK began to hit their stride with graphics starting then
>>539577649>Won't put in the effort to make sales>Complain when sales don't increaseIt's not the consumers job to make the games worth buying, if SNK can't put in the effort then they won't get the results.
>>539584545No they don't sell because snk fans are poorfags who only wants to play 2002 hacks and shifty mugens
>>539586910Then they need to price their games cheaper. Do more with less, but they're comfortable letting Saudi's bail them out when they fail so they don't even try within their means anymore.

>retards want multiple single player modes and more characters>but want the games to also be cheaper.Stop being a dumbass.
>>539577015More in line with KoF’s style than XII and beyond.
>>539589903>Don't do anything to make the game more appealing Well then don't expect anyone but die hards to give a shit about your mediocre games. Either make them cheap so poors can afford them, or make them good so people actually think they're worth standard retail price.
>>539591112retard. your points are meaningless and you know nothing. here's what's gonna happen. cotw will get 3 seasons of suppoer, at least 3 years of ewc support and headline EVO every year until the AOF fighting game releases. SNK holds all the cards.
>>539591360SNK is spending someone else's money with the promise they will make it back, when they clearly can't. We're going to see a bunch of SNK managers get Khashoggi'd in 2026 when the "season 2" pass ends up selling less than 100 units.
>>539592276no, they're not. you don't understand what sport washing is.
>cotw will get 3 seasons of suppoerLMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>539588497Spics don't even buy the UMs which go for 5 bones all the time what makes you think they'll ever buy any of their new games?
>>539593064sport washing is done to attract attention to the country in a positive way. cotw is a failure and didn't do much in that regard
Deceptytard on double duty these past few days huh
oh yeah, stage knockouts are probably coming in the next update too along with the new master rating.
>>539594504And they'll be relegated to the casual lobby only 2 lane stage instead of being main game.
>>539594741which is fine.

Hot take: REV Arts are distinct enough from specials and REV Accel offers plenty of sauce. Yeah, we got air blocking and hopping, but if you want real anime shit, just play anime games.
>>539601060>EX moves that are just the normal move but plus and a 10% discount on EX meter + drive impact counts as sauceyou niggas must be dying of thirst because this shit is bone dry
https://youtu.be/7fHxORrSOJ8?si=UsE6i42pEssGVtBc
Hot take: Kyo won

>>539123203Oh, I guess Hyper Drive still lives on in its successor...
>>539577649I doubt Dark Souls 1 had a bigger budget than cotw. Atleast if we take the marketing into account too.
https://x.com/G1_BARI/status/1968669473742668284Based Obari
SNK are fucking retards
>>539577649>The only reason snk's product aren't up to date is because fans have never supported themNo it's because SNK are stuck in the past. They're stuck in the arcade-era
>>539577649>the fans develop the gamesThe fans bought the slop until they were burned too many times. Good products = better rep = more sales.>>539589903>pretending the budget went into the game, not the millions spent on Wrestlemania ads, KSI, and iShowSpeedkek. The game was barely complete at launch. All those trial and training options the patched in should've been in day 1. Dong should've had a stage. Andy and Joe should've been in at launch. Andy should've had a stage. The game, just like SamSho, was not finished and had no budget.
>>539525302All bad. These zoomer modelers watch too much moe anime. It's everywhere now.
>>539555690>They didn't bother to finish the gameI still play the game, but you summed it up right here. The DLC characters are all 9/10 so far, in looks (except Ken's classic model) and playstyle. It's just too dumbed down in the meta to be a classic. Rev Block needs to go. Rev Blow needs to either changed to Hold-to-execute or make two in a row take you into Overheat. Air Rev Blow should not exist. There's no risk in the meta at all.
>>539644179Meanwhile, every character does not have their own stage in any modern fighting game but SNK should be held to this standard.
>>539635251>SNK are stuck in the past.Problem is they're stuck in the past in the wrong ways, like boring powerpoint presentation, yet modern in all the bad ways, like dumbing down, catering to scrubs, and inflexible online infrastructure.
>>539645192>and inflexible online infrastructure.nah, that's literally capcom with sfv. shut your dumbass up.
>>539644830>b-but every other modern game is poopin' their pants, too!Don't care. Those are shit and I don't play them. It's lazy. Salvatore has a stage, yet they couldn't be bothered to do it for og Fatal Fury characters like Dong and Andy. Inexcusable, though Salvatore's stage is based.
>>539645604>pick 1 character and 1 stage>locked into those for every matchJust say you like slop and be done with. "But SFV!" See. Bet you bought that piece of shit game as well. kek.
>random stage select schizoYou know when they fix that in the next update, he's going to move on to something else.
>>539646113Yeah they're definitely going to fix something that is also not present in KOFXV bro!!! In Oda we trust!
Bit of a longshot, but does anybdoy have a screencap of or link to the tweet from a few years back where somebody was like, "you could totally put Mai Shiranui in Smash, just have her wear a black bodysuit under her dress" and posted an edit he'd done of Mai wearing a black bodysuit under her dress that made her significantly sexier?
>>539654241fuck off back to /sfg/
>>539657725I don't play fighting games, I want that tweet to prove a point in a different discussion. And I'm like 80% sure Mai Shiranui isn't in Street Fighter.
>>539657852... if you don't know anything about fighting games perhaps don't use Mai as an example in your little argument.
>>539654241..... wtf Just go ask in /sfg/
These are the type of retards SF6 brings in lol
>>539658114that's irrelevant to the argument>>539658181ok genuinely why are you sending me to the Street Fighter thread with a Mai Shiranui question? Isn't she not from those games?
>>539658730There's 500x the people in the SF sphere thank SNK at any given moment. This is a dying general for a dying company.

>>539666476OUTRUNNING A DECENT PLAYERBASEUNDECIDEDSTEAMCHARTS ARE IRRELEVANT YEAH
KOF 98 will always be a man's game over 02 because there are too many female characters in the top tier for 02
I genuinely can't believe that SNK niggas unironically think the only problems with COTW are the shitty guests, and people being "haters". There's so much about COTW(and the previous stuff SNK has put out for that matter) that's so mediocre, low-effort, and low-budget. From the non-existent QOL, boring-ass low-effort 2012 tier Fighting Game presentation, visuals STILL mediocre and inferior visuals compared to the rest which is like one of the Top 3 things that matter most for a Fighting Game, still having the most barebones training mode, a boring-roster where 90% of characters play the same, having absolutely horrid balance since release to the point where the same 4 characters have ever been seen and dominate everything, and much more. Yeah, I'm sure the reason COTW is so low in population, likely has not very good sales, and no-one new is attracted to it is because others say not nice things about it often, and not because said new person takes one look at its dated visuals, hear how unintuitive it is compared to SF6/Strive, and goes to just play them instead. I can't tell if it's just massive cope, or modern SNK fans actually just has the lowest standards of any fanbase ever. You'd think with all the massive duds and continuous failing with everything SNK puts out, that it would clue SNK fans in on that what they consider acceptable or good isn't shared by the vast majority, but apparently not.
>>539675773You forgot to mention that alternate costumes are programmed as entirely separate characters so their frame data can (and has) been different from the main version of the character. Alt Terry STILL doesn't show frame data correctly in training mode.
>>539675773:)
I'm having fun COTW, and the fact that it's getting 3 seasons of support is great. The fact that it makes some of you so furious is the cherry on top.
>>539675773>a boring-roster where 90% of characters play the sameIf you want to play all the characters the same way, that's on you. I'm glad the game lets you do that. >or modern SNK fans actually just has the lowest standards of any fanbase ever. Yes, I think this is true, LOL. Especially those coming from barebones Fightcade and Steam ports of old SNK games.
I came here to post steamcharts and laugh at you but someone just did it so I will refrain
COTW still has the best color edit mode amongst modern fighting games that seem to HATE giving out colors unless you pay them. Also, the best jukebox mode. But those don't matter.... because uhhhh... uhhhh
>>539675773you forgot the balance is legitimately the most dogshit of any game trying to be a competitive product of anything released since the last SNK game lmfao
Get a job Decepty.
>>539680840Don't forget the largest prize pool in fighting games with the best fighting game players competing for it (go1 and xiaohai).
>>539680840I'll give you color edit it's the one and only thing it has over other games. Jukebox is worse than KOFXV.
Fucking 10 year old kids in here caring about some fucking color edit.You never played with crayons in kindergarten?
>>539681593Well, the game is also better mechanically than other modern games, too. But you don't play, so why would I bring that up?
>>53968159340 and bald. Yep. For sure.
Kain is proof that there is 0 competitive integrity to this game.
>>539682554It's functionally identical to other shitty modern games. All it changed was making the 1 skill based guard option a coinflip if the game takes the super input
>>539685790Yeah, you don't play.
>>539687420No one does
>>539687420You could ONLY play this turd if you think it's does anything novel or unique. It's literally slime faggot dicks for contrarians.
KOFXV has EX move bs and doesn't have NESTS era aesthetics.
>>539692814they are both "discord fighters" lil bro. :)
Her breath probably stinks
>>539689360>You could ONLY play this turd if you think it's does anything novel or unique. It's literally slime faggot dicks for contrarians.It actually the uniqueness that makes the game controversial. So many naysayers advocate removing most of the system mechanics -- SPG, feint cancels, JD/HD, Rev Accel, REV Guard, REV Blow... They just want a different game. It's worse than that, it's just KOF players or Street Fighter players (or even Fatal Fury Special players) wanting the same game over and over.
>>539699549>JD/HDJust Turd Strike parry but less useful>Rev AccelDrive Rush on special moves>Rev GuardStrive's faultless defense combined with the MK block button for extra dumb babies>Rev BlowDrive Impact for people who think drive impact shouldn't be reactableThe ONLY thing unique in COTW is feinting, SPG is just a lazy stopgap to keep Rev Blow from being as mickey mouse random as DI has been.

>>539708903Hey is that Mai Shiranui from Street Fighter 6?
>>539711340No, it's Mai Shiranui from Dead or Alive 5 and 6.
>>538783130People are not playing cotw anymore, what's so appealing about 2xko?
>>539717804Couldn't tell you. No one is playing that either.
>>539717804For that matter 2XKO is flopping too, just not on the same level of COTW
>>539721590>just not on the same level of COTWhow do you know that?
>>5397215902XKO is flopping for a free to play game with an actual recognizable brand behind it. Nobody actually LIKES tagslop, and this game finally proves it. Marvel and DBFZ are carried entirely by nostalgia and anime love respectively.
I see more kofxv clips than cotw lmao
>>539225167Please God make SNK balance COTW before SWC. I don't want to see Kain vs Hakuto, Kain vs Hatoru, Hatoru vs Hakuto, Hakuto vs Hakuto x4, Kain vs Kain x5, Hakuto vs Billy, Billy vs Billy, and Kain vs Billy all fucking day in a tourney that's supposed to be exciting and special/big. Though seeing how long it took them to make KOF 15 watchable, I'm not holding out hope.
>>539724236So what did we learn? Never bet against Kyo
>>539723946>2XKO is flopping for a free to play game with an actual recognizable brand behind it.So, it's like Multiversus in that regard.
>This game is gonna become one of the big 3 YOU GUYS! RIGHT WOLF PACK? AWOOOOO! >Trust the nip devs, everybody wants to drop dix and play COTW YOU GUYS! RIGHT WOLF PACK?

Cute.
>>539734437It's just not the same without the Terryschizo. Kyoschizo may have taken away COTW players, but Terryschizo took /neog/'s soul

So the youtube channel that uploaded all the classic arranged snk tracks was seemingly deleted. 15+ plus year old videos with millions of views are gone. Don't know if snk themselves were responsible but that sucks ass. Those vids were good exposure to the series and now there's nothing.
>>539803767Seems like SNK is going on a copyright claim rush, a spic channel that had uploaded the FF OVAs a decade ago also got hit yesterday.
It's a weekend, I repeat, a fucking WEEKENDFatal Fury COTW (3 years of support, EWC, Capcom collab, WWE, billboards, saudi money yadda yadda)>Current Players: 94KOF 15 (game killed by SNK to focus on COTW, dead support)>Current Players: 182KOF 2002 UM ("spics only play vamilla 2002 on fightcade" they said)>Current Players: 142This is a disaster, not even SNK FANS care about this slop

>>539822532So who's playing it then? Because I'm sure it's not americans and europeans. Just because the game isn't as popular as vanilla 2002, it doesn't mean no one plays itAnyway, the real news here is that no matter how niche KOF might be, there's still 2 games carrying that name doing better at the same time compared to the new shiny SNK productNever forget that SNK killed KOFXV support to bet it all on City of the Cucks
>>539822532Is easier to play 02 plus
Why the FUCK does high dodge work against Terry's close C?
>>539843242Good game design according to that one dickrider here
You can see the monumental skill gap between people who latched on to day 1 top tiers vs honest mid tier character specialists at TNS tonight. Dudes in SSS rank who can't JD or HD to save their life because they live and die by their character playing themself.
Hello Hooners, I have returned... any news on our glorious king?
This is just undue resentment for CotW, which may not even get through its 2nd year. Yet KOFXV just had a solid 2+ years of support -- more than any recent SNK game (unless you count SamSho's rollback update). Why is it so hard to accept that KOFXV ran its course?
>>539847005Samsho had 4 seasons. All characters were made from scratch as well.
>>539822532not only we are but there is also a dedicated community to bring new people into it across multiple countries and strong local scenes. LATAM and Asia are the only places that actually care and buy SNK stuff
>>539850075huehuehuehue
>>539848284you motherfuckers are so dumb, and the game did not have 4 seasons.
>>539847005COTW is guaranteed to have three seasons. Please stop spreading misinformation.
>>5398510473 who gives a shit you dicksucking faggot
>>539847005COTW is fine due to infinite saudi money glitch and being oda's pet projectpeople simply don't like the game and that is it. to be fair people never liked FF to begin with. FGC just alucinated that FF was this giant ass franchise which it never was.
>>539851478COTW is not a good, soulful FF game
>>539851537FF never had soul it was just a mash up of 80s B movies mixed in a bag
>>539852369You're a giant faggot
I don't even like the DLC practices these fighting games do nowadays. So i don't particularly care that muchStill think single player content is dogshit which is why casuals don't play fighting games.
So you can say KOF needed more years of support but with a roster of many characters and the FGC saying the game was too hard because of this. What is the point?
>>539851537>>539852369DON'T YOU DARE SPEAK ABOUT FF THAT WAY!GET HIM WOLF PACK! AWROOO!
>>539847005>Broken matchmaking for a entire year>Season 1 dlc was literally made up of reused assets from KOF14, Samsho and the Orochi trio again>No alternate costumes aside from Garou Terry and Classic Leona despite the community begging for it>Months of silence until they just dump Vice and Mature and call it a day>Support literally cut when the game was finally finding its footinglmao, kill yourself saudi shill>>539848284Exactly, you can bet your ass the development team planned at least another full Season for KOFXV but they had to cancel it to focus on Oda's pet project, and look how that turned out for them lol
looks like bulmy-chan wasn't the only simp for soup yawner if i had to take a vacation for it>>539743661that's rich coming from a general for a company with a nobody-only playerbase of their games
>>539848284>Samsho had 4 seasons.If you could even call them that. 'Seasons'. kek. There was barely anything in them. Though I will say Amakusa's model is one of the best nu SNK models I've ever seen. It's amazing.
>>539848284>All characters were made from scratch as well.that's the funny partwe can argue that one base roster character was derived from kofxiv resources (nak, even has the same move that was her climax in it) and they gave her the rest of her kit too, but for the most part, samsho was done from the groundup on an engine they were just learning, and seemed like snk was going in the right direction toward improvementonly to be soured by stupid decisions from up top, followed by bad decisions with kofxvand even cotw ends up with edited handmedowns even as fucking dlc, to which the ones after this year are supposedly to be paid for by the consumer unless they somehow miraculously decide to give them out for freejust more material for the snk dffs to defend thobeit
>>539815613>not even SNK FANS care about this slopThat's the biggest take away for me. I play COTW all the time, but even the fanboys aren't playing it. That's how you know they're full of shit.
a well produced last blade could be goty material, so why arent we getting somethink like that instead of.........................art of fighting...
>>539880498nu-aof w-will be a much more soulful and gooder game than that s-street shitter shitx, y-you'll see
Looking forward to KOF XVI
and the models will still look just as off
XV models look cool to me, they just need to improve upon it. I don't want COTW models.
There we go. sAvED
from what, fortnite
whatever were they thinking with kofxv, among the other problems being that they were on the verge of removing terry's chin to give a more seamless transition to his neck as if he was gonna have a turkey neck and need a neck lift procedurenot to mention his pectoral/pit/general upper arm muscle definition on his default outfit could use a good amount of loomis-chan memes from /ic/they at least had the courtesy to smooth some of that out in cotw which i'll show in the next pic
I'm not having this argument with you people on COTW vs KOF XV models. I'll just fuck off. Cya, have a great day
>>539890001not even to defend cotw here because jenet looks horrible in it even compared to kofxv for which i judge harshly on xv's visuals as wellit's just that terry was one of the few to come out on the better end
>>539779015yes>>539803767>>539805278Companies, especially Japs, yet again show how out of touch they are when it comes to music uploads. A tragedy. I don't think there's one Jap company that isn't retarded about this.>>539857091>but they had to cancel it to focus on Oda's pet projectit's more likely they had to cancel since KOFXV sold less than KOFXIV and it's first week sales were less than SNK Heroines. I don't think KOFXV tapering off had anything to do with COTW.
Producer Yasuyuki Oda believes that the players' response to the game was overwhelmingly positive, which allowed them to properly work on early issues such as the online play.[80]Sales and other responseThe PlayStation 4 version of KoF XV was the 8th bestselling retail game during its first week of release in Japan, with 9,062 physical copies being sold. The PlayStation 5 version sold 2,414 physical copies in Japan throughout the same week, making it the 22nd bestselling retail game of the week in the country.[81]During the 26th Annual D.I.C.E. Awards, the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences nominated The King of Fighters XV for Fighting Game of the Year.[82] The characters also had a crossover appearance in Another Eden.[83] ONE37pm listed it as the 20th best SNK game of all time, praising its faithfulness to the franchise and improvement to the gameplay.[84] PCMag regarded it as one of the best fighting games from 2024.[85] GameSpot also regarded the game as one of the best fighting games from 2024
>>539891661>with 9,062 physical copies being soldlook at that, they were so proud of 9k copiesunlike the reactionaries here in this gen who didn't like 9k copies being mentioned
>>539880498Because they can't make a well produced last blade
>>539893931temu big e and temu maddox at the helm
Samurai Shodown 2019 best game Just came to say that.
>>539898569it certainly stands out amongst nu-snk's library that's for sureone reason being it isn't so full to the brim of combozzz
>>539898569I like XIV better
>>539911427XIV had better menus and UI than both XV and COTW>>539901794It also helps that Samsho has an actual cohesive artstyle that matches the atmosphere they were going for and the character models aren't a collection of lazily reused assets from other games
KOF 15: 277 current playersCOTW: 76 current playersNice fucking job Oda
thanks oda-ma!
>>539675773>>539915074Why do SNK fans pretend COTW isn't an objective failure and isn't dead? There's no way to pretend COTW isn't anything but a failed product with no community. You don't spend that much on marketing just for you to be okay with your game selling less than your previous one(that was already lower than the one before it), having an even lower player-count/base only a few months after release, and having no content-creators making any videos about it unless you yourself pay them to do so.It's like SNK fans are scared to insinuate that SNK is failing at anything. Like they think if they dare have a problem or admit SNK has a problem, SNK is in danger of going bankrupt again or something.
why won't snk use ai???? surely ai is da wey
>>539803767Incredibly homosexual news. I guess that's more motivation to just pirate the tracks I like now, though.
>>539915074SNK get fucked from all angles. On the FGC side:>Capcucked FGC with vested interest in keeping Capcom #1 and seeing other similar franchises fail.>Paid influencers ready to spread word all other fighters not Namco, Cap, or NRS will die in a month. This makes fencesitters stick to big brands only.On the SNK side:>25 years, ie: 2 whole generations of neurotic fanboys raised only on Eolith and Playmore's Temu KOF games.>All of their requests are unpopular Temu shit.>All of their standards are Eolith-tier.>This Eolith/Playmore generation are not SNK fans, cause they never knew the real SNK. They are Temu KOF fans and they hate Fatal Fury.
>>539898569Potential classic if they didn't fuck up the gameplay in patches. Get rid of Issen, guard breaks, and the dumbed down weapon-flips, then the gameplay is great. Add more stages, fix the camera, and fix the online, then it's a classic.
>>539891661>9,062 physical copies being soldJust.
>>539927993Oh, the horror! Who will help poor SNK from all the haters and "fake" Eolith fans!? Surely COTW is not a failure because of their own incompetent management!!!
>>539852369Pretty much every fighting game from the outset has been a transparent mishmash of ripped-off ideas from manga and American movies.
>>539928347all of those are in some way gameplay features from previous samsho so i don't understand this wanton to remove them
>>539929604?
>>539929742use the other def, genius
>>539890001Terry on the left looks exactly like an SFIV character
>>539930192What other definition.
but now with an snk logo
>>539925562You're side-stepping the broader picture: COTW is a failed product _despite_ being SNK's best launched product in the past 10-15 years. This is not just a COTW problem, it's a downward trend across multiple games. https://x.com/Khriz___/status/1968352362009121150
Enjoy some of Poongko's Gato: https://youtu.be/e1SvMSQxSy8?t=4185
>>539945245>COTW is a failed product _despite_ being SNK's best launched product in the past 10-15 years.How is it any better than Samsho or KOFXV?
cotw is getting three seasons of support and three years of ewc, and you can die mad about it. :)
>>539947710Well, it is a low bar, but it's all the cumulative features of those previous games, all available at launch -- especially netcode and matchmaking.
cotw is snk's most content rich product in terms of single player modes in a fighting game, ever.
>>539945245It's almost like there's more to success than having a minimum viable product on launch for the first time in the past decade. The marketing was terrible on basically every level (not just the ronaldo/dj stuff) and overshadowed actual positive things about the game, such as season 1 being free and the color editor. FF also has next to zero brand recognition, which is further obfuscated by it being a sequel to MOTW. I think a new samsho would have had a much better chance at success on account of being much more established and having a clear niche in the genre, both of which COTW is lacking. Lastly, selling the game for more than $40 was a big mistake, especially if you're being bankrolled by someone with access to infinite money and who probably doesn't care all that much about making an (immediate) profit.
Why the fuck was Hokutomaru the last reveal anyway? No one was hyped for him, specially after the DJ fiasco. Btw they pulled this same stunt with Elizabeth being the final reveal in KOF15
>>539950919I prefer MI2 with its unlimited costumes unlocks
>>539954368they weren't unlimited. if we're comparing games, let's be precise.
>"It's a textbook example of an overly complicated system, requiring tons of memorization, yet offering little freedom.>>If you want to make it popular in Japan, the system can be simple, but the gameplay has to be deep and engaging.>Well, maybe expecting that from SNK was asking too much."
WE LOST TO 2XKO, BUT THAT IS OKAY, SINCE WE ARE STILL A PACK, RIGHT WOLF PACK!? AWROOO!
Im a big SNK fan since way backBut I'm too tired of people dissing SNK. They should dissing Mortal Kombat and Street fighter 4 and V.Maybe the general public don't deserve to play their games

>>539948070will it cure your mental illness though?
pretending mi2 is good fighting game 20 years later is quite something.
it is thoe
>>539961296At least it had good graphics for the PS2 era standards unlike COTW that looks 2 generations behind

>>539956720>But I'm too tired of people dissing SNKGet off this general and go use discord or reddit then
>>539945245The answer to this tweet is for SNK to move away from fighting games and do something else.
That's neat.
is the GOAT gonna make it tho
none of SNK's old fighting game ips are popular (as fighting games). this includes KOF. the obvious answer is to make a new (mainline, meaning they don't really focus on their old IPs anymore) fighting game IP that is big departure from all of their old fighting game IPs.Of course, I like COTW and their old IPs, but if you're just worried about "making money" and being "popular' that's the way to go.
last blade is cool and will be popular
>>539976159even less popular than AOF.
>>539975947They need to make a new anime airdasher fighter, that's not connected to any of their old IPs in anyway. A new game where you don't have to make old bitchy fans happy while also trying to attract new players at the same time. Time to completely focus on a new audience.
>>539975947>A brand new SNK fighting game with original characters like Shun-ei, Preecha and VoxThis will do worse numbers than fucking Fantasy Strike lmao
How does Last Blade play like?
>>539976638which is about as well as KOF and COTW are doing. people don't care about the IPs anymore, time to accept it. And they flat out stopped being anywhere near popular during the early 2000s.
>Time to completely focus on a new audienceTo focus on a new audience you actually need young people in charge, otherwise you get cringe boomer ass Oda and Ogura thinking Shun-ei is gonna catch the zoomers>>539977206>people don't care about the IPs anymoreThe fact XV is doing better than COTW right now already proves your point wrong, also the idea that a fighting full of original characters is gonna save SNK when they can't even create good new characters for existing ips is extremely retarded
they nailed it with isla tho
>>538783130https://youtu.be/0ThL-JlX5q4?si=f60pVvvEvSBA06jmHas this ever been properly translated or do I have to pay someone a commission to do that?
>>539978236>young people in chargeThey have plenty of young people at SNK. In fact, young people have filled some important roles. And cut it out with the revisionist history with regards to KOFXV, it was called a dead game throughout its entire lifespan. It being moderately more popular than COTW doesn't mean anything.
>>539978630Isla isn't that popular
>>539978236A young staff member at SNK designed Shun-ei. You guys gotta stop making shit up.
>>539978236>The fact XV is doing better than COTW right nowYou say that as if that's supposed to be notable or impressive. KOF is completely irrelevant and no-one cares about it but the same 500 Mexicans and Chinese people for the last 20 years. Being more alive than an absolute failure is nothing to harp-on about.
Time to face reality: it's either try a new IP or keep making games for their now irrelevant IPs until the Saudis sell them off or shut them down.I'm fine with either as I like SNK games, but yeah none of SNK's IPs will ever be popular again after 20+ years if being dormant or on life support.
Just Strivefy KOF
>>539981668Strivers will just keep playing Strive.
iori is a virgin tho
>>539977117oh, this was a good thread about LB2 while back: https://www.reddit.com/r/Fighters/comments/1cbq16k/okay_what_makes_last_blade_2_unique_is_it_good/
They seem to do a good job with the weapon based games lol
>>539080537yeah he should have said the opposite! that'd be smart!
>>539981668Already happening. And this:>>539981781
>>539981576Fatal fury was dormant for so long, it may as well have been a new IP, and it flopped. SNK ruined their own reputation outside of the fanboys. And the fanboys were raised on too much Playmore and Eolith slop to care for anything different.
>>539980275This lmao. "They need young people!". All of their kof designs have been trash.
>>539956720>"They should dissing Mortal Kombat and Street fighter 4 and V.">you if critique A it means you love B.MAGA brain logic.
>>539953592Because SNK are online obsessed, and believed all the posers in the FGC. They bought all the memes about MOTW being their favorite after 3rd Strike, and how Hok and Rock were their favorite characters and all this horseshit. If they were smart, they would've looked at the data. But no, they listened to people like Max, who, after SNK buffed Rock specifically to please him, turned around and called COTW's Rock the worst version of him, simply because of the win quotes.I reiterate, SNK heard Max complain about Rock being low tier in all the previous games, so they made him better, gave Max all this access. Then Max turned around, called this version of Rock the worst, then boycotted sponsorship of the game. SNK are suckers.
>>539950919For all my criticism, you are correct. Besides little options here and there, I'm not even bothered about the content. I love the game, it could just be way better.
>>539929604SS should not have 1-button Issens. Weapon losses were not dumbed down to always land near you. SNK patched that in after people whined online.
>>539928789>oh the horrorStopped reading there. Eolith and Playmore weren't the real SNK. End of story. The brown slop in your diaper doesn't change those facts.
>>539995943Nonsense. You're just a retard who thinks SNK can make a game that's successful. don't respond to my posts with unrelated "snk bad hurr durr" crap again
>>539996398No one online was asking for Hokutomaru to be revealed last, he was revealed last to because Ronaldo and Salvatore had to go first as they were a major part of the marketing for the game. Stop creating schizo theories in your head and thinking they reflect reality.
I like his kid dumb design with the big forehead
Imagine if Oda used twitter kek
>>539997592What kind of weird ass logic is that? Why do any of these 3 characters should've been the last reveal? It would've made way more sense to have it been Kain or Vox. Revealing Hoku after the guest shitshow only killed even more the hype for the game.
>>539975947The obvious answer is NOT a new IP, but a LICENSED fighting game based on a popular IP. Dragon Ball FighterZ is what put ArcSys on the map for the casuals before Strive was a thing and it only helped them in the long run. I've already mentioned this before, but SNK should try making a deal with Namco to work on an famous anime like Naruto or the most recent ones like Jujutsu Kaisen.
THIS IS WHAT YOU SNK FANS LOOK LIKE. BUNCH OF OLD BOOMERS HAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAASNK IS FINISHED

>>540013445The worst redesign in the game, without a doubt. It makes no sense for Billy Kane to have a totally different look and leave Joe the same but with glasses that look terrible on him.
………………………………..joe
i'm pretty sure they are adding another crossover character for season 2, no hype for other fatal fury character aside watching blue mary's redesign
>>540011772>Theme has been watered down and lost all it's charmGuess I'm sticking with the RB2 theme
>>539972263>>539996146>responding to a retard that is just copying twitter postsuse your brain for a second>>539995943To the average person visually Fatal Fury COTW looks like just diet KOF with less characters. Obviously there are major gameplay differences but the average social media retard is not going to know that upon first glance. So no it doesn't look like a new IP, it just looks like KOF, but why buy that when they already have a KOF on the market with similar characters.
>>540013445They don't even show his projectiles, at least they can't look worse thant they look in xv
>>540006065Unironically /soul/
Seeing lots of comments on his glasses. Doesn't look like a big deal to me
>>540025870they are pointless, plues they don't fit him when he is fighting, same as Gohan
CotW has fewer players than UNI2 and VF5
>>540028075I am literally the only person at my locals who has played COTW longer than the first week. UNI2 meanwhile is like 90% of the people there. Kinda wild.
End of the year "Thank you guys, there will be no season 2 as we'll focusing on the next King of Fighters project"
>>540011772>Both wear glassesReally?
LMAO SNK niggas really look at shit like this, then unironically ponder why no-one cares about SNK, and never wants to buy their products.Actually I think SF6 looks like ass and disgusting, but 98% of others don't think so. Especially compared to what SNK puts out.
imagine being one of the devs who are in charge of making dlc characters, knowing maybe a dozen people will actually bother playing them for a week tops

Anyone wanna play some KOFXV(NA) in a bit?
>Play 2 matches>Shut it off alreadyIt's just not fun. Fighting games shoveling in more and more scrub buttons to create coinflips has made the entire genre unplayable outside of being party games, and anyone who wants to play a retard friendly party fighter already owns Smash. People who play this shit for money already end up losing to complete randoms in open tournaments enough to prove that no amount of raw skill can make up for the core design of everything being as easy to do as possible with 0 risk attached to it. I can't wait to see KOF16 have Super Duper Shatter Strike that's an unreactable fully armored throw immune meterless juggle button that crumples on counter hit and introduces a new Brain Shatter state on block that's just a Street Fighter dizzy but all the damage in the follow up combo is doubled because heckin big combos with big damage are the only thing the dipshit zoomers and millenials playing these slopfests actually care about.
The whole fighting gaming genre is garbage.

>>540037719>Getting dabbed on by fucking Faaast PenguinHumiliation ritual, no fucking way this shit is getting 3 seasons
>The playerbase is so low that simply playing COTW once makes you a top 100 player
>>540011772>>540013445Huh, so it looks like his gameplan will probably center pretty strongly on finding a heavy to feint cancel into another heavy, then doing a combo sequence with 2-3 EX moves and a brake DP juggle. I wonder how his DP will work? Maybe the light version will be full invul and the heavy version will be a head invul launcher anti-air, idk hard to figure given what we have to go on for now. Do you guys figure his EX fireball will be able to be used to win zoning wars? This is just supposition, but maybe his EX distance closer special could be used to cancel into a juggle starter on hit and a plus on block move on block---crazy, looks like there's lots of new potential ok the table here! I'm psyched to see how this brand new character will transform the meta!
>>540049794>What is the point.joe is using the glasses to seal in the power of geese and orochi in either eyeball as it will be revealed after the tourney that they impaired his vision and he has to wear glasses so that he can say "e=mc^2" but he will be cured through the power of friendship with billy kane who finally gives his blessing to him and lily kane, up until he says something stupid after he is cured (because no more need for glasses to make him look smart) and he runs away off into the sunset lily, with billy comically chasing him going "WHY, YOU...!"
>>540062680I can't tell if you're intentionally describing 95% of the cast as a joke or not.
>>540063343he sounds like a nintendo rep trying to talk up a new smash game's mechanics with disingenuous excitement to a bunch of melee tourneyfagsi half expect him to come out with a comment like "if you pause the game on one of joe's moves you can see the image of [some animal] in it"
>>540063343That's exactly what I was doing. For all the talk of how old-school the game is, it really embodies the new-school tendency of universal mechanics taking the forefront and homogenizing the cast more than anything else on the market. It sucks, I had been really looking forward to getting to play my favorite character 100% of the time instead of 1/3 and him not being a half-functioning piece of shit, and I did my time blaming posers and fake fans for its failure, but the game just really isn't that good and there's not much that can be done to fix it without basically starting all over.
>>540064860Are you me? This is how I've felt about the game since a month in, once the honeymoon period was over I realized all the game has is revslop into plusframes.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5KVRlQEzOM>JD/HD cancels are so irrelevant that one of the only commentators for SNK doesn't know what they look like
in terms of gameplayall the new mechanics just make it seem more like a variation of kof instead of the old classic fatal fury stuff, and even deviating more from the classic (or even real bout era) fatal fury formula than motw already wasand the fact that only one stage has lanes (even though they said that they'd add more) kinda is sad enough, but even lane gameplay just compounds to the combozzz which by itself was kinda fine, but you're slapping rev stuff onto itcoupled with how the game looks overall, it's not an attractive productat least have a classic and/or rbs mode of gameplay to use without rev stuff in it, it's kind of the stuff i'm not so big on

This will no doubt change Joe's moveset in the next KOF, and in MUGEN, but all in all, it's pretty boring.
>>540073845lmao
>>540064860>For all the talk of how old-school the game is, it really embodies the new-school tendency of universal mechanics taking the forefront and homogenizing the cast more than anything else on the market.What makes MotW really great is how characters apply the universal mechanics differently. That and many other design factors (accidental and intentional) allow for a diversity of interactions.
>>540082101Nobody actually played MOTW so there's no way to know if this is sarcastic or not
>>540083652Well, it's still being played by people right now on Fightcade. I recommend playing MotW to see what was lost (and gained?) in the "modern FG" transition to CotW.
>>540066256>JD/HD cancels are so irrelevant that one of the only commentators for SNK doesn't know what they look likeYou don't play the game. Why would they highlight a universal mechanic in a CHARACTER trailer. you fucking idiot.
>>540066256you're a retard, that's a guard point not jd/hd. he DOES know what he's talking about, you have no idea what the fuck you're talking about.
>Intentionally bait out a rev blow from a Billy by doing a plus close normal then high dodging>His entire body shifts backwards during the rev blow and it misses causing the high dodge to be punishedThis game is 100% pure grade A dog shit and I'm glad it failed.
>>540088523>>540088659Retards watch the video and learn to read, ROME calls it a guard cancel because he doesn't know what that looks like. Because he's never seen them enough to know what they look like vs a parry/guard point a la Jenet.

>>540100092Basadísimo.
>>540050293I think people would have been okay with the glasses if they radically changed the rest of his design to match them. But since he looks the same as he always does it just looks out of place.
it's really amazing how snk impresses me with how lazy they can belike when i express how lazy i think they are, they go even further with it
>>540128894He is supposed to be a famed Muay Thai celebrity now that there is a documentary in the works. The glasses should have been combined with a slick suit with a tiger pattern or SOMETHING tiger related like pic related, or taken inspiration from the absolutely beastly suits the Yakuza series has. A colorful business suit would reflect how much Joe's fighting career has advanced, and how much he has matured, yet in spite all that he's still same ol' reckless brainless JoeAh but that would require actual modelling instead of reusing assets. That would require taking a risk with a new design. That would require an actual company with actual thinking heads instead of ol coots and nostalgic execs, still thinking it's the 90s.
>>540099527>>540107954It’s a bit strange that characters don’t change or age unless they’re playable, except Raiden for some reason.
>Kain is tier 0 and is functionally unpunishable on whiff still>Billy still doesn't have to engage at all to win with autopiloted revslopThis game will never be good. This is the kind of trash balance I would expect from some F2P gacha where Kain and Billy are SSR+ Alpha EX draws.
>>540142149Crappy design yes but Joe's model is clearly not his KOF one
JD and HD should bring back reduced blockstun instead of making you guess AND spend meter to hopefully interrupt something to only get a soft knockdown

The falling apart flower effects for Yoshitora in SS19 are one of the most coolest looking and animated things I've ever seen.On a less related note, it's a fucking crime that there's zero porn of SS19 girls (ok, except that one birb paizuri one), even though 3d models are right here.
>>540178286I know, right? Nobody actually plays any of these games, it's like 3 people pining for the 90s, a paid schizo who starts having meltys when people laugh at Shitty of the Wolves, and a dozen /sfg/ posters pointing and laughing to remind themselves that it could be worse.

>C.Viper's gameplay trailer already overshadowed Joe's in an instant by just looking cool and featuring a woman with big breastsSad. Also see how every single base SF6 character, including all DLC up to C Viper has had alternate costumes, while Joe and Andy have none. Elena and Sagat recently have had 2 costumes AND their own stages, meanwhile Joe and Andy has neither. See how inferior SNK is? They gave more to the crossover-characters than their own. Just amazing how low-effort they are in everything they do, and how little passion there seems to be.

sub 50 playerscheckmate
>>540278539SNK realised they don't know how to program costumes without turning them into seperate characters so they don't bother with it anymore
>>540283453i meanhoooooowc++ literally gives all the tools to figure that outgranted it looks ugly as sin depending on your coding style but it gets the job done
you couldn't pay me to play slop like sf6.
>>540284573They can barely pay people to play slop like COTW either
>>540282505A command throw? His legend continues..
>>540283886It's a schizo anon spreading misinformation. It was never "costumes coded as different characters". It's just that Terry's costumes in XV/COTW had different animations on his special moves to account for him not having the hat. When they did a balance patch they forgot to update the raw numbers for recovery and such on those animations to match the standard. This somehow got spun into "costumes coded as different characters" because people have a doomposting mental illness.
>>540288435that's something that programming data structures properly would have solved as wellthey hardwired a linkage between animations like that and move props that should be on its own modularity
>>540288435Don't forget that they still haven't fixed several of the alt costumes frame data entries in training mode, either. All 5 Power Wave variations, all 5 supers, and all 3 Power Dunks have no startup frame information.
so lively
>>540290927it's all the capdrones lluminaters faults
>>540278539>C.Viper's gameplay trailer already overshadowed Joe's in an instant This implies people were hyped with Joe for a moment in the first place, when in truth he's just a bland gag character in a unpopular game of a boomer ass franchise that was dead during 30 years for a reasonThe Joe trailer was posted 2 days ago by SNK and yet it hasn't even crossed 100.000 views yet, let that fucking sink inhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vg77fN1dPKw
>>540290927the fgc shills don't deserve this game
SNK wanted to make a simple and dense game in CotW. They succeeded in making a simple game. But instead of _just_ making it "dense", they made it "complicated". That's why when you ask a bunch of people what they don't like about CotW, you won't consistently get the same answer from them.
>>540295151Go back to your general captranny
>>540295151They pushed advanced defense too far into mechanically difficult to perform for the downsides. Hyper Defense Zero Frame supers are about where they should be, but Just Defense Guard Cancels are just as difficult to perform while also being nowhere near as safe, cost meter, and of dubious value depending on the move chosen. It disincentivizes learning defense cancels by making experimentation a death sentence, you can't have the average stray hit into combo take 35% of a lifebar without super and expect people to feel comfortable trying to perform a half circle forward into DP within 5 frames.
