How does Terry have the most worthless C and 2C in the entire game? Both of these pieces of shit will go completely through someone's model but still manage to miss, while simultaneously making his own hurtbox twice the size of his body.

Really, the game should be dropped to about 30$ permanently. COTW is in no-way a 60$ product, and as we can see by the severely low-sales, population, and community, that the vast majority also agrees. GG Strive costs less, and it attracts tons more people than COTW just by how it looks alone. Base SF6 is a 1000x more attractive product for casuals in visuals, content, and presentation, and it costs 20$ less like Strive(also currently on sale for 20$ for TGS). The edition with the season-passes also costs the same as COTW. COTW is not close to these products, and is not even worth what it costs by itself.

You're right about the visuals, but are totally wrong about the price.

You think dropping to $33 dollars is going to get people to get the game?
The game had its biggest drop in player numbers during the 1st online beta test -- when it was FREE.
People are !@#$ing lying when they say the price is the reason why they won't play the game.

>>540310119

Joe Higashi doesn't really need a new look, some stuff you just don't touch. Every other returning character has a new look, so it's not out of laziness.

>>540371176
They aren't going to cancel anything because they would have 3d character modellers, animators, riggers, mocap people doing nothing for at least two years. Their next project (AOF) is at least three years away and most likely in the concept stages. You guys have no idea how businesses are run... they aren't going to pay employees not to do anything.

It's over. Not even Reddit respects SNK anymore. The Saudi stuff and COTW being another mediocre, low-effort product from them was the final straw. Now pretty much everyone dunks on them and treats them as a punching-bag. SNK's reputation is 6ft under.

>>540384413
"Do your best, SNK!" should be the attitude for us.

REV Counter, REV Strike, REV Burst, etc. I don't think adding to the crowded field of mechanics is necessary, but I do think the combo system should be adjusted for more "freedom".

Maybe a modest
(1) letting Heavy Special and REV Art have different priority/level as opposed to the same; or more a extreme
(2) freeing of REV Accel by cancel into the same REV Art or even just specials.
>>
>>540401305
>(2) freeing of REV Accel by cancel into the same REV Art or even just specials.
Almost every character's optimal starting Rev special would just endlessly cancel into itself. The game already puts people to sleep with every hit confirm being the same path of cancels, this would just make it so every combo is Hit into BURNING BURNING BURNING BURNING BURNING for optimal damage
>>
>>540399484
I hate this manufactured feud between MotW and CotW.

Yes, MotW is the better game; but a lot of the CotW haters hate MotW for the same reasons too.

They need to be promoted together.

And SNK needs to put stuff back from MotW to CotW: exciting "trades" and more specials doing overheads (although this will be more difficult to JD/HD/GC).
>>
>>540401816
of course, there should be a limit. so instead of a limit of only zero repeats it would be one repeat.
>>
I find the failure of this game a bit odd, would this game be even more dead without the Saudis?
>>
>>540403760
Without the Saudi's there would have been no soccer rapist or weird dirtfarm DJ, which means less immediate pushback on the game from interested parties. It probably would have had a higher initial sales rate, but the game itself just isn't anything special and would inevitably hit this point regardless.
>>
>>540403760
I don't think it would've changed anything. Which is more impressive than anything considering they dumped millions into this.
>>
>>540403760
If I had to bet, it would be marginally less dead, but you probably wouldn't have players like go1 seriously picking it up to go after the milly.

Come play COTW, we have:

- Monotonous combo cancel slop
- Lag switching
- Hacked clients playing with live paying customers
- 10 minute wait times between experiencing all of this
And so much less!
>>
>>540402746
Agreed, the feud between KOFXV and COTW is way more interesting. In this situation KOF players actually have a reason to feel wronged since SNK did kill off KOFXV's support early to focus solely on COTW as their main game, and in the end the game sold worse than SNK Heroines despite all the manufactured hype lol

On a serious note, I am concerned that people using pirated copies have a higher likelihood of using cheats. So legitimate owners of the game, however few there are, could be losing rank points because of blatant cheaters that will never get banned because they technically don't exist in the system.

The issue has been acknowledged by SNK in the patch notes too. If the game was more popular this would be a bigger deal I imagine but since no one plays it isn't talked about.

The problem is that nowadays the majority of long combos require very little execution, making them glorified cutscenes for both players. 2-touch games aren't an issue in a vacuum, imo. They become an issue when you take into account the general decrease in execution on top of making every combo a 30 second cutscene + epic 30 second cinematic super. I think the drive/rev gauges are a way to introduce more decision-making on the attacker's side, but that sort of meter system has it's own drawbacks (namely, giving full resources at the start of every round), and it doesn't make it any more interesting when you're the guy getting hit.

>>540420248
cotw died for a lot more than that. It just also failed to avoid the pitfalls that most modern fgs have fallen into while also being presented as being targeted at fans of older fighters. Ironically, it seems to me like strive actually avoids this issue by having shorter combos that do a million damage, but I don't play that game.

Strive does less damage than you think, too. It's been toned down so the game isn't as random. I miss doing 1/4 of a healthbar was a feat or exclusively a massive punish.

I don't think this will happen but Nippon Ichi Software once did some "corporate restructuring" where many of their veteran employees became treated as "new employees" due to being shifted around as a scummy loophole to cut their salaries to that of "new employees". But this got them all to ragequit and go to Idea Factory. Don't think this will happen with SNK, but corporate are always coming up with ways to lose less money while still trudging along.

This collaboration did fucking nothing for SNK. No-one gives a shit that Ken is in COTW, and likely won't give a shit when Chun is too. No significant amount of people are buying the game because of them, nor even just watching. But tons cared that Terry and Mai were in SF6 even though they're less popular than both. Capcom got 10000x more out of this. Mai is/has been making them tons of money. Especially when she gets her swimsuit.

>There is very little incentive for the players to stay. That's the problem with Cotw.

All FGs have the same incentive: to learn about the game, the characters, and to better yourself as a person and player.

Sticking to one game or the other is a matter of preference with the system mechanics and overall feel of the game.

And as much as people complain about REV Guard and REV Blow, JD/HD/GC is even less liked.

People complain about all of those mechanics all the time because they're poorly designed. Rev guard just makes the game even scrubbier by making crossups irrelevant, guard cancelling is a high risk low reward, and both the special blocks are either massively toned down from MOTW to being worthless on their own (JD) or only ever worth doing against specific attacks because the execution requirement makes it a guess.

More playing the game and less theory crafting. Crossups are not "irrelevant" at any level of the game.

Why the fuck would I pick up COTW when I've got Chun, Ken, Mai and Terry all in one game.

>>540510480
Unless in overheat then any player can immediately negate them my simply tapping the block button for a half second if they aren't 1000% sure where the jump in is going to hit. It happens constantly if you actually just play the game.

>>540510132
Not sure I'd consider JD/GC that "high risk".

To sum it up: while some people really like labbing out JD/HD/GC in training mode, a vocal part hate having to deal with situational defensive mechanics.
And while a lot of us will dismiss failed HDs with an "oh well" and a shrug, I feel that most would rather swear off the mechanic -- and swear at it, LMAO.
>>
>>540517440
GC is higher risk than it needs to be because you have to bet the farm on a complete read, there's not enough time to input the cancel on reaction to getting the JD. It also costs you a non insignificant amount of meter even for a non rev cancel, and has a massive scaling penalty applied to it. Outside of attacks like Billy's cane spin or Hotaru's windmill the ability to perform these is more akin to coin flipping than an actual demonstrable skill.
>>
Do you think a porn game where the kof girls are brutally impregnated by kensou raping them would have more players than GMOW?
>>
>>540518507
No doubt if your pre-emptive single-hit JD/GC gets stuffed, or if your 2 JDs into GC gets stuffed so you should've done 3 JDs instead, just mistiming it, or even getting punished afterwards, etc. you'd feel bad about it.

I guess some people feel worse about it than others.

I just don't like dismissing the "situational" nature of the game to just chance or a coin flip.

Yeah, like 99.99% of the people actively playing fighting games. Most of the time popularity bias is far from indicative of quality, but in COTWs case it's far too much of a failure for the game to simply be "better but less popular". It is actively driving away what little audience it was able to muster, and poorly designed defensive is one of sources of the frustration keeping it dead.

CotW actually has well-designed defensive mechanics, but it's niche and has limited appeal.
That's why all iterations of SF3 weren't popular at release, and why its parry system hasn't been reused in latter SFs.

Since this is a Neo-geo general as well, I think it should be important to give a notice to you all, that with the latest version of MAME 281, the sound for HNG64 was finally mostly fixed. Counting the 2023 fixes as well, the HNG64 is now mostly emulatable and games playable.
It's still far from perfection, like with the lack of changing the internal 3d resolution to higher ones. But for a rare, obscure, unpopular and undocumented arcade, this is pretty big progress news.

It did worse marketing for SNK since Mai just looked so much better in SF6 and people naturally love to compare. It just shows how SNK are SF wannabes and look up to it.

Don't worry guys. COTW's massive failure despite all the marketing, collabs, and stupid shit like putting celebs no-one wanted nor asked for has woke them up, and made them reevaluate themselves. The next game they're making is where SNK is going to put out all the stops. Reminder that COTW was still not really a game made after they got Saudi money. It also was a game made before they just had their biggest failure yet.

why is hotaru still a top tier? thought they hyper nerfed her...

The nerfs were nothing. All it did was reduce an optimal combo's damage by like 10. She's still the ultra shoto until Chumly comes out.

Daily reminder that pirated copies of CotW are still able to play online ranked against legitimate owners of the game.

Anyone considering buying the game on sale should pirate it instead.

Tell your friends!

>"A game with only 40 concurrent players offering over 200 million yen in prizes is insane.
>They'd be better off giving the game away for free with that money—existing players would be thrilled to have more opponents to battle."

In the latest 1.3.1 patch notes, they removed any mention of "Playing the game illegally" or "Using external tools to engage in misconduct" as they have in previous patch notes.

I think it really is a combination of giving up AND letting pirated copies go as free versions.

And honestly, I don't see the tool-assisted cheaters play unpopular fighting games...

Go to cs.rin.ru and search for the CotW thread. Most recent version (v1.3.1) files should be on page 18.

Requires the Epic files and an online fix file.

>>540571310
My guess is the game has the most minimum of staff and it's too time intensive to fix. Or they just suck at their job and can't fix it no matter the resources they dedicate.

Cope. These guys are shitters to the extreme. Imagine wanting these guys to keep raping these IPs/franchises into the ground. Modern SNK is an awful dev. They're like the GameFreak of Fighting Games, but without the world-popular franchise. They do nothing but make the most retarded decisions, while putting in the least effort possible. Have gone through 3 different franchises in a row, stifling the potential of all 3, Fatal Fury being the worst. This company possesses no-one with an actual brain, and with talent anymore. All the people that were still there that had talent since the bankruptcy went over to other companies, most notably Capcom since they went to the pachinko-mines.
>>
>>540619709
this, and i'm pretty forgiving and cut some slack if you're fresh to the job and it's just growing pains to make mistakes and be slow until you get better
but when you're consistently shitty or mediocre at your job over a long period of time without any real growth into a higher level of skill and it's NOT because you reached a peak performance level suitable for the skill level required for the job, you need to go out the door, cuz it's not a make-a-wish for retards who can't do their jobs right and apparently they get paid decent money, so they should have some saved for when they need to find a job more appropriate for them

and imagine coming here and telling people to kys themselves because they had some criticism against snk or its products and then whining about people demanding for snk staff to lose their jobs

sounds like a familiar story
>>
>>540585549
Re-did training is being generous as hell to describe the minor changes. And by new MR system are you talking about character specific ranks that's taken around 6 months to implement and should've been in the game on launch?

I get it. You have poor taste and wasted money on a very mid fighting game and now you want to defend it, but just know that you don't have to. It makes you look silly.
>>
>>540619709
100%

It was literally greenlit after the acquisition.
>>
>>540621685
I think a little bit is changed in training mode each patch so we don't think big changes have been done. But it's a big difference from first release.
>>
>>540624923
Like what? Because one dude is lying saying they "re-did" training and you're saying it's a big difference yet when I fire up training mode is almost the same it was at launch.

For reference, these example are being brought up after I said CotW most likely has the bare minimum of dev team possible now and that they maybe aren't good at what they do. Then I get people exaggerating about the most minimal of changes as if that negates anything I said.

It's taken almost 6 months for them to implement character ranks which should've been in the game on launch. IDK how it couldn't be more obvious that SNK doesn't have the manpower or the skills.
>>
>>540626780
Oh, I wasn't on that guy's side discounting what you were saying here >>540580802

But I had to push back on what you think are minimal changes. Look at the patch notes and read all the effort being done. It's there listed out for us.

Just like you don't get credit for fixing the messes you caused, SNK doesn't get credit for putting in things that already should've been there at launch. I get that.

With the game's failure, unless there's some broader strategy with the game and the IP, I think it's too late to hope for some SFV --> SFVAE transition.
>>
>>540564306
So Ken is not only the same moveset wise as in sf6, but he's not even good like in that game.
