dosukoi
Intense sex with Ryo
after seeing this and last year tournament I really fucking hate how poorly treated XV got
First for Terrychads, Kyoschizo can neck himself
>>545043504>thread is for SNK games>OP claims Chun-Li is the queen of fighting games instead of, oh maybe fucking MAII guess that's it then. Capchads, we surrender. We kneel. Street Fighter 6 is the true King of Fighters. Now please, I beg you. Save us. I'll buy Capcom's overpriced DLC packs, I'll fucking buy the ugly cosmetics for the custom mode, just- just PLEASE, please play our game.
>>545044105XV has been absolutely wild at the high level comp events. With COTW already looking at end of life we might get 16 sooner.
>>545044185>of, oh maybe fucking MAISecondaries maybe.the real queen.
>>545044348>we might get 16 soonerwould rather they hold off until they get the right people
that chizuru is doing nothing
DOSUKOI!
Why do people call Xiaohai the "GOAT"? He just uses and abuses the Top-Tiers in all games. in KOF, SF6, and now COTW.
>>545045764because he has won multiple stacked majors in a bunch of different 2d games of different eras. he just needs to win a 3D fighter major
https://youtu.be/Fqk7m82RxQ4?si=GnIQs2oNycE2WHGW&t=446Geese used to be cool
>>545045764I mean he wants to win anon. He can definitely play well with every single character in any KOF
>>545045764Check his all random matches in KOF98. Dude can legit pick any character and win
>>545045764because for 30 years he can literally pick any char and rape you and 95% of the pros
>>545045764He has lightning fast reflexes and mind games, but I can't all him the GOAT, because the modern games are dumbed down. Same with SonicFox playing 6. He got destroyed in the dumbed down SFV (L 35 - W 1 in a set), let alone SFIV. Xiaohai is better than SonicFox and top tier. He's better than Daigo and Infiltration, but he's not Tokido level.
Not so fast...
>>545044185I guess for casuals Chun-Li is probably more recognizable while some might only recognize Mai from porn.
>
Kyo really be a college-aged high school dropout hitting on 17-year-olds
drop the Brazilian character in 16 after this SNK
>>545044387This is my queen or should I say goddess.
>>545047351Mai is the kind of character everyone who's into games has seen by now
>>545047568milk.....
>>545047630and most of them have no idea where she's really from and at best may have thought street fighter, cvs, or doacoincidentally, doa (dead on arrival) tends to be the nickname of snk new vidya releases
>>545047734For me it's the thighs.
Player 2 wastes no time to even the score!
>>545047465Wait, how old was Shiki? And I assume goddess Athena's physical age is the same as regular Athena (18).https://youtu.be/ZZyhfjprUJw?si=L3rM1NujRojtQ18i&t=83
lol!
No sale on SNK fighting games baka
Remember when Terry slapped Kula's ass?
Is Xiaohai washed? Has he gotten too complacent playing slop like COTW and can no longer win without an objectively broken character?
When's AOF3?
>>545048620He's a fraud
Do any characters in KOF 15 have a reliable normal button for anti-airs? Standing or crouching
>>545049369Right after KOF
Are they keeping the lights off to hide how little people are in that crowd? kek
i hope benimaru is nerfed to the ground in 16 and never recovers. that character has been the meta pick on any team for 10 fucking years
>>545049796yeah and next they're not making Kyo and Iori good too
>>545049796He's arguably been that way since 2000.
>>54504979616 isn't happening
cute sumo
HYPE
you didn't expect this grand finals, didn't you?
don't choke please
¡hermanos do brazil!
good grand finals
I'm tearing up. I'm actually tearing up. What a fucking amazing set. KOF is the fucking best.
the gawd didn't choke
I don't like Brazil but I don't want Xiaohai to win too much after winning EWC so many times. Let other people have some Saudi money.
>>545044165CHADmaru Nikaido>Won the most KOF titles>Carried Kyo, K', Liz and Shun to victory>helped Shun tame his powers>Took the initiative and spent two years search for Kyo because he's that much of a good friend>stylish>has the best theme songs>Got connections with everyone>Could get attract any woman if he wanted to but is more concerned with his fighting>Faced the likes of Rugal, Ron, Kriz and Otama Raga>has a wide range of hobbies and interests from range shooting to cooking>treats Shingo more kindly than KyoKneel to the true King of Fighters
>>545051216he played the cuter team so im glad he won
COTW Top 6/GF will be less hype just for the fact that 98% of the characters that will be on-screen will be the same 4 bullshit characters since forever.
>>545051159Retard
>>545050120he is not as busted on old ones as he has been on 14 and 15. he has become fucking disgusting. every fucking team for the best 10 year has become X/beni/X
>to win against xiaohai also need a wifethe wife boost is too realalso brazil fucked china two times this year. one in table tennis and now in kof
Xiaohai isn't even mad because he's still going to go home with 1.5 million when he sweeps COTW
>>545051293>Took the initiative and spent two years search for Kyo because he's that much of a good friendCome to think of it, I'm surprised Chizuru never tried to look for him. At least that we know of. Considering she's usually the most dedicated when it comes to stopping Orochi, you would think Kyo's disappearance would be a huge problem for her.
>>545051925please stop, i'm masturbating too much lately...
>>545051924it's crazy how he can adapt to the wake up "system" from both games on the get go
>>545052290godlike art
>>545051159based
now hotaru needs to win cotw
>>545051932She was too busy attending to her business #girlboss
>>545051932The manhua being kino as always actually has her start the search and even intervenes in 2000 when Kyo and Iori are having a car race across the motorway. She tells them both to cut out their bullshit and head to Southtown to find NESTS.
So they made a 100 000 dollars tournament for Ao3 but they forgot to give us a LEGAL way to play it.
>not even the staff noticed AOF3 started LMAOI'm still pumped up by the KOF. best tournament I saw this year.SWC and CC have become so much better than EVO and the random majors
>>545051370It's only been 6 months
AOF 3 is so kusoge that makes it kinda fun to watch>>545054071I think the biggest problem the competitive of COTW has is the balancing. Even though XV's top tiers are kinda broken, the mid ones can still compete unlike in COTW, and that's why this XV tourney was so good.COTW has been fun as well but it can't be as good when there's like 4 characters
do you guys play cotw in here?I'm kinda debating on moving from sf6Gato looks and plays pretty fun
Congrats SOU!
>>545055767when chun comes out, yeah
>>545055767COTW is a dead game
>>545052363Never read KOF A New Beginning?
>>545055767It's a very demanding game and forces you to master the REV system. Also, most of the players are veterans, so it's going to be difficult to keep up. Or at least that's how it seems to me.
>>545054808KOF team took to heart the disastrous shitshow that XIV was. and how stupid team composition bacame for XV at the start. they made sure to properly balance the game when the krohnen patch arrived. and as the game went on too. like how they didn't wanted ralf to be a xiv nakoruru situation 2.0which makes the COTW situation really fucking weird
>>545055767The game is pretty good but right now the balancing is kinda shit. You shouldn't move from sf6 since that's the most popular fighter nowadays, but give it a try I guess.
Also...no annoucement?
>>545055767the game caters solely to pro players. the game demands way too much of the players due to the amount of different system required to master to be semi-decent at itthe steam player count is low because those are pros grinding. I wish I was joking
>>545055767I'm hardstuck Bronze in this game. Granted, I'm using Mai with Smart Style, but this game is punishing. I get bodied by sweats and then they taunt me. Great netcode, love the color edit, I hope they fix the balance.
>>545055767It's basically a better version of SF6. If you don't like UNI2, GBVS, or 2XKO because they're too different from SF6, then it's your best bet.Don't listen to people saying that it's hard, you don't need to need to know all the advanced shit to start out. It's like telling people that KOF is hard when you can just memorize your specials and have a good time.
>>545056514Took a long time for them to kill Krohnen though so I guess it makes sense why they aren't nerfing the broken ones in COTW yet. Also maybe they aren't doing because of the SWC which is what I hope.It's just sad how good they are in making games with fun gameplay but how retarded they are with simple stuff. This goes for multiple games, Samsho netcode + lobby, XV matchmaking, COTW balancing and the online ranking. They pretty much nerf themselves all the time.
>>545056514It was over a solid year of Krohnen, Jenet, Kula/Kyo. Then Isla, Geese, Ryo/Beni after that, THEN the last patch balanced things out. Its why I'm so asshurt they didn't continue. Imagine if they kept supporting the game in how good of a state it's in right now.
I hate that CotW didn't sell well
I don't.
if goichi is winning majors, the game is a kusoge. things has always been like this. he is the japanese sonicfox
it's the only modern snk game that deserved to fail in every aspect
>>545058685Truths spoken to power
>>545054005https://www.gog.com/en/game/art_of_fighting_3the_path_of_the_warrior
Amazing how the community went from "Gotta support SNK" to "I hope SNK burns to the ground" in the span of 10 years
>>545059328Releasing really bad games and ignoring feedback until it's too late to salvage a game will do that
>announce you are working on a new AOF>announce a big prize AOF3 tourney>Tease Mr Karate and Robert in anime before the tourney>The tourney ends>Nothing announcedWhat's the fucking point lmao
They should make a new Chrysalis
>KoF got 2k viewers on the main stream>CotW down to 1k viewers>your brand new game with the 1.5 million dollar grand prize has fewer players AND fewer viewers than the previous gameThis is unbelievably pathetic
>>545059617They never actually announced a new AOF, they started hiring for a project. For all we know it's just a fucking gacha game.
>>545059930The game is just ass. The meta hasn’t changed since day 1. Very simple and boring, only 5 characters over and over, it’s no surprise that no one cares.
>>545059930kof xv has soul
>>545059930there was 8k on english stream on yt during KOF
>>545059980Motherfucker why would they post an Obari teaser for a gacha
>>545060191Because SNK is run by people who are so wildly out of touch that they tried reviving Fatal Fury
>>545059930I know you are a schizo but rounding 1999 to "1k" when the other had like 10 more is a new low lmao
>>545059930I watch tournaments in youtube if i have the chance.More comfy, convenient and I can shitpost since I don't have to give my telephone number to Twitch....also XIAOHAI SHOOK
it's actually insane when you repeat it, if they gave the IP to some indie 2D shovelware company and released the game with 8 chars total because it's 2D it would be less embarrassing
You should not be able to rev blow guard cancel for so little meter
>unreactable halfscreen combo starter that's safe on block, low crushes, and can be braked so you can just DP out of the crackback for freeThis game legit sucks because this kind of shit is so sparsely handed out to characters, either give this kind of stupid bullshit to everyone or actually balance your fucking characters
Another good match, this game is great. I think only AOF tourney wasn't that good because it's pretty kusoge
I love how the thread went from mostly positivity to the usual doomerism the moment this piece of shit excuse of a game appeared on screen
>>545060820>either give this kind of stupid bullshit to everyone orthis also doesn't work, see Tekken 7 and 8
>>545060459the game was designed for players to gain a ton of meter and abuse the fuck all of it. it is an innate issue with modern fighting game philosophy. basic shit that was possible to do for no meter on old games are now required to have meter or be tied to a mechanic that will have its own meter.COTW takes it to the next level and just becomes a 2000s anime fighter without burst
>>545060820Marco's EX kicks don't start a combo. You can't DP "for free" when it gets blocked unless you want to risk half your life
>>545060882saying random sumo phrases, wanting to be fucked by ryo or shitting on kyo isn't exactly positive
*2008 obongo election
>>545061135Marco downplayers should be forcefully deported to Brazil
Perfunctory
>So far all Hotaru and Marco. Did the other top tiers get nerfed or something? Haven't been focusing too much of COTW lately.
>>545051159Average nu-snkuck
>KOF finals>Character specialist with offbeat characters wins a huge sum of money>Every FGC talking head gassing it up>COTW finals>Total snoozefest>Every player plays 1 of the 3 playable characters in mirror matches, everyone plays exactly the sameIt's so over bros, KOFXV finna get another patch when SNK realizes their time is better spent backing the winning horse
>>545061781but we have ronaldo... the kids love ronaldo...
>>545061502Hotaru and Marco are both perfect shotos, they have nearly unpunishable fireballs, invincible DPs, ez-bake combo starters, etc. so they dominate generic play. Kain and Hokutomaru have broken gimmicks instead of being impossibly good cardboard cutouts.
>>545061502Kain, Hotaru, Marco, Billy and Hokutomaru are the strong characters you will see on these finals
>>545061914why does hotaru have a command grab
>>545062142She needs it, she's too honest and can't open people up
Laggia winning SWC on both big games would be cool
Koopa is the only player left that deserves to win
When's this snoozefest ending? I just want to see if there's an announcement
>>545062534>gay tendie name>playing the ugly reddit bitchim thinkin no, actually.
>>5450626503 sets left including grand finals, so less than an hour
>>545061930the moneymaker
Stupid bullshit COTW needs to get rid of:>safe on block rev blow>safe on block DP brakes>plus on block rev specials that also let you hit confirm into combos>tiny fireball recovery windowsThis game is stuck being a pressure mashfest because the defensive mechanics are rarely worth the risk, while being a fucking ape is both safe AND rewards you with massive damage. Shit is SF6 tier levels of scrubby.
>whore out to falcons>turn into absolute shit>can't even block an ohthis is the payback for becoming a dixxie
every fucking time something is exploding in the screen during COTW this shit looks just as bad Tekken 8. it is only missing the nuclear bomb being set off as pre-fight cutescene
you schizos said Kain was the best character in the game, where is he?
....in 3 days
>>545064192Kain frauds switched to make sure he wouldn't get nerfed
SNK, I beg of you, you need to work on your announcement timings. You already revealed Chun. You revealed the animation. You can't set up a shadow drop and think that carries the same weight as you think it is.
>>545064192>hag-li in 3 daysthey delivering>>545064192in gawd1's pocket
>>545063559They were definitely afraid of making Guard Cancels too strong. They gotta decrease the damage scaling or decrease the REV Gauge cost.
>>545064192kain, marco, hotaru and hokutomaru are the best characters. pro players drop the one who has been figured out and is not working during that specific tournamentsomeone found an good out for kain? drop his ass and pick one of the 3 left
>>545061296>There were 44 dicksuckers who approved his frustrated gooner tweets in the last 6 months disguised as a "valid critics against COTW"
>>545064480>One hit from death>90% rev meter>bet the whole game>successfully JD into a GC>Immediately go into overheat and now your combo can't do enough damage to kill because it's scaled to max and you only get 2 hits tops
>>545064424shit feels like they are being sabotaged internally at this point LMAO
>>545064752Ono got hired under a pseudonym, he was Capcoms secret weapon all along.
>>545064878we need to form a specops team to solve this situationOda (Ono) has to go
Jesus, there is nothing left in ZJZ's tank. He's playing like online now.
>>545065429?
>>545065429Well, shit, color me the fool. That was the right play.
God, I'd be happy at 300K. I could do so much at just 300K.
$1.5 MILLION on the line and the game has barely 7k viewers between twitch and youtube. People genuinely hate watching COTW.
>>545065957Their loss. They'll bitch about whatever they're watching because spectators are cunts. I'm having fun.
this dude is kinda cool
I've heard louder cheers at a childrens karate tournament in smalltown Canada
this announcer is so funny haha they should hire him to do somo "wolf pack" promotions
>>545064424If they announced the release date to be the middle or the end of November instead you'd be here complaining about how the hype for Chun-Li will have died down by the time she comes out and berate them for their business practices. How can you shitpost about Chun li coming out next week as a bad thing you cretin?
>>545063479Oh yeah. Isn't her family rich or something?
COTW is not bad, just mid. It took too much inspiration from Shit Fighter 6 because it desired their audience. It should have been it's own crazy thing.
>both players missing giant punishes and just stand thereI fucking know there's input errors with this game and this is proof, shit just doesn't get parsed during some moments
>>545066423You're misunderstanding me. They should have revealed Chun for the first time and then did it as a shadow drop, too. Personally I'm excited but I know how people react to this.
Would you let Hinako grab you like this?
>>545066553SF6 is good, though. According to the same metrics people use against COTW, SF6 might as well be the best Street Fighter of all time.
xiaohai, aka BIG CHOKE>>545051924how did it go, did he win the milly? what happened?
Will the BBC humble Hotaru?
I think GO1 is winning that million
Marco feels like a rare example of a replacement character that's way cooler than the original he's (spiritually) replacing
I wish our guy laggia turned things around but it's already over
It's OVER
>>545044185>OP claims Chun-Li is the queen of fighting gamesBut she is.
go1 will win the milly and get all the chadmaxxing surgeries
Rooting for GO1 as a DBFZ fag
KOFXV was way more hype than this
GO1 laughing at what a kusoge this is
Marco is a mental bazooka in big tournaments
>>545067402Rooting for GO1 as an Arcana hearts fag
Rooting for GO1 so Marco gets nerfed into oblivion
I wish I understood why you would watch a game you don't like but I hope you guys are having fun.
Holy shit, this might be the biggest upset
>>545067705Are you the same dude crying in chat?
laggia remembered it's fake oki
It's Goichi's time. He sees the frames. He's coming.
I like CotW.
>>545067962I don't type in chat. I watch the game. You're a chat fag? Makes sense.
Go1 choked and started playing like an iron pup
>>545068092Yeah unlike kofxv I don't like watching this game. I'm just here for the announcement
>>545068138I think Laggia just isn't going to let him get away with the overheads anymore
boomers begone
Our guy won. All is good
Bro's entire life has changed
Lmfao $1,500,000 for such a small and dead game. That could have been me...
>lose 1.5 million dollars because you can't hitconfirm the difference between a grounded and aerial hitabsolutekusogemu
money over fame. thats snk baby
>>545068632then why weren't you up there faggot?
That was a great grand finals. Can the tourists leave now?
>goi1 and xiaohai lostbased
>>545068746I wasn't trying but I could have tried if I wanted to
GO1's 1-hit "confirms" exposed. Based backdasher Laggia.
>>545068746Why weren't you? You could've put the energy you spend on defending the game into actually participating in it
>>545068902NTA but wow, you're 12 years old, huh?
>>545068637losing for not looking at his oh bar in the first round lmao
Wrap it up holy shit
>>545068637Hotaru backdash put her in midair. it was a good try from GO1 tho.
I think the only bad thing of this tourney is this fucking translator
Are people seriously bitching that a backdash can have consequences for being caught by the offense? What, you want backdashes to completely suck or be more like Granblue where NO MATTER WHAT STATE you got hit in, all combos work?
lau wonmarco lostperfectly balanced
>>545069017Says while throwing tantrums at people not playing his game lmao
>>545069096Yes, I understand the mechanic and why it did this. My criticism is there is no reactionable way to know if your hit is grounded or on a backdash which turns those confirms into a coinflip
Should've had a sale for sure
>>545069217Getting hit should be a punishment, not a reward
>>545069264Yes, that's the weakness in hit confirming, anon. Congratulations. Its not the perfect skill. You understand. Older fighting games have this, too.
>>545068632All the new SNK games aren't popular. Even the ones on Fightcade got more numbers. We're so fortunate for crossplay. This is just weird tribalism for games in the same community.
>>545069546I, too, like downplaying Diaphone.
They should pay the shills to attend these tourneys. At least they wouldn't have to hide the crowd anymore
>>545069468Old fighting games have 4 way full screen unreactable mixups, and those are fucking shit too. Shit mechanics are still shit even if they're from every game prior.
I feel good for Laggia.It's a legit SNK fighter.
What's the song playing right now?
>>545069728I really don't understand what the fuck you want in a fighting game, man. Go play Granblue. It does what you want. Its fun.
>>545069984I do, and I want good ideas from other games to be present in more games. Why are you so adamant on COTW changing nothing and remaining the lower-mediocre slopfest it currently is?
>>545069728>Old fighting games have 4 way full screen unreactable mixupsname 14 examples.
>>545070174Oh God, its another guy pretending to play fighting games. I'm not going to sit here and waste time talking about why hit state matters. You don't care. Have fun shitposting.
the schizo arch nemesis is there...
>Oda coming outAlright pussies start those Kyo chants
>Games should never be good, I want everything SNK squirts out to be dog shit so I can spend all day bitching about it on 4chan instead of actually playing the game
say it, like you would to G Lucas
How based would it be if Oda was to get on the mic and directly call out Victor Zhu in broken English?
>>545069728those things happened in old fighting games because players learned to use the engine to its limits and were unintentional.that kind of stuff today is planned before hand.modern games in general have a lot of malicious bias of the devs both for characters and mechanics
on youtube i believe there were more views when KOF XV was airing than COTW?
kaiser666 might be the most third world country name to exist
>satanic tryhard loser>christian chadwinner, beats xiaohaireally makes you think
>>545070816and he looks like young Mads Mikkelsen
>>545070664Turns out Zhu was sitting in the crowd the entire time. They finally lift him to the arena with a forklift for one more battle, one more showdown: Victor_Zhu vs DecepySwag
>>545070806Pretty similar during both grand finals. KOF is just more popular though.
>>545070897kaiser666 is also christian
Will he really take that big ass check to the bank
kaisahhhhhhhh wave
>>545071172that's just for show anon
No one wants to fucking play for that toy belt lmao
Okay I will reinstall samsho
>>545071342That might be the cheapest, flimsiest looking wrestling belt I've ever seen. Legit like some shit you'd buy at a walmart.
why is aroo jerking it on screen
??????????? nigga im going to sleep
Wtf are they doing lmao. Did the winners know about this
this is actually cool as fuck
ALL GROUND SNK CHAMPIONSHIP
what the fuck is this lmao, you do something like this before the show, they guy that won AOF3 probably don't have any idea to play the other titles.
>>545071546Honestly, what a fun stress reliever. Nothing to stress about. Just pure fun.
>>545071546sure but maybe announce it before
Did WWE sponsor this or something.
This is cool, I am into it
>>545071629There is literally nothing to lose. Its just good fun.
>>545071546This will be fun, SNK has my full attention now.
>>545071683This is all going to lead a COTW S2 teaser with a wrestler in it
>>545071546The cowards should chose Fatal Fury 3, SvC Chaos or Aggressors of Dark Kombat.
>>545056652>No announcementsI told you guys SNK is saving AoF for TGA
yeah cool stuff but the announcements?
Why is he replying multiple times now
Laggia is reading this wiki as we speak.https://wiki.gbl.gg/w/Art_of_Fighting_3
>>545066696Absolutely
This is how bronze ranks play probably
this is a decent idea but it takes way too long to map every button choose the game etc
>>545070806I think all-together KOF 15 was about 11K, while COTW was 10K.
>>545072094Can japs stop putting that ai logo? Stupid shit. It won’t stop ai.
>>545072635it would make more sense if all the games were on one collection like those retro re-releases
Based SNK having fun this guantlet, laggia will probably win though
This tournament is handmade for Score.Shame he didn't qualify.
This would be the perfect opportunity to announce KOF XVI because the are playing all the games that made KOF happen, even if it's just the logo. But I guess they probably didn't even start working on it yet I guess...
>>545073391with AOF on the horizon? nah
>>545073391this fits more for a Neo Geo Battle Coliseum
>>545073391Give it a rest already.
>>545073391do a last kof 15 update and let kof rest for 5 years at least
I think this is a really good idea. Would be more fair and fun with games that weren't in the tourney though>>545073545This also would be nice.>>545073480That's also the reason I think it won't happen
I don't understand this. Is it just these two playing these games? Where are the other players?
>>5450746012 pairs running all the games, the winner of each face off in the end
Aroo losing his mind about Hellpockets saying Samsho's potential was squandered LOL
The only problem with this is that it's taking too long for them to change games
This isn't a bad idea but is executed poorly, It's taking too long, nobody wants to watch mapping buttons
>>545073930>Do a last kof 15 update and let kof rest for 5 years at leastNo way this happens. Oda cut off the team working on KOF XV Season 3 to make SNK focus solely on Fatal Fury as their flagship game and franchise. Going back to KOF XV now would be like admitting to the audience that *COTW* flopped hard and that Kyo won the popularity war. Oda won’t stomach that humiliation.
>>545075360yeah, what's the point of mapping buttons for this? unless they are receiving something at the end, nobody cares if they win or lose
>>545075514you don't think they want the championship belt?
Oh my fucking god this isn't important enough for 20 minute button checks just let these fucking guys leave, the crowd is completely disinterested and so are the players
>this is taking longer than the AOF3 segmentlmao
>all the SNK Champions were Japanese except KOFNo wonder Oda hates it, it just has that Latinx and Chinese dna.
>>545075614no, lmao, it's like if a soccer player wins against a basketball player in a baseball match, totally wortless.
Sloppy shop. SNK never does anything right.
>>545075614No they just want to go home and rest
>Staff doesn't even know how to fix the problemFucking hell
was it really hard to just hire justin and daigo playing chunli and ken in COTW instead of this?, viewers are dropping like flies.
>it took more time the arcade stick problem than the matchlol
By the time that AOF trailer gets shown we'd have 500 viewers
This just became boring it took too long
This would have never happened if they had actually put up the effort of making an SNK Fighting Collection like the ones Capcom makes instead of just dropping standalone ports on steam
>>545077253How would that fix the problem? Are you suggesting they should just put these 4 games in a collection for some reason?
It should have been a KOF98 tournament, since most of them have probably played it enough.
>>545077479That coulda been cool.
Even the commentators lost excitement
>>545077152>AOF trailerif you are expecting that, turn off the stream now
Its a fun idea. A very fun idea even. But it was very clearly not tested.
>>545077804he's waiting so he can have his regular melty here
>>545077895Take your medicine.
>>545078127there's no need to quote me while talking to yourself anon
There’s no trailer don’t expect it
>>545078361Tend to your mental issues. You are fighting ghosts.
haven't kept up with fighting games in a while, did the milly tournament happen yet?
It's like the debacle with the first kof xv trailer. SNK's marketing team has erectile dysfunction.
>>545078559It's done. They're playing for a toy belt now
Finished like an hour ago, Gaggia won against GO1. Now each champion is playing against each other on the 4 games for the SNK belt.
Hey,I think Masaton could be a legit KOF player.
>>545071546Very cool idea, though. This is why I keep forgiving them. Two based moves, two shitty moves.
>>545078892They could definitely improve on this if we have another SWC next year.
Xiaohai wouldve bodied this format
Does Capcock cup take place every year? If so then there's no reason why SWC shouldn't either
>>545079201well the reason for no SWC next year is nobody cares about this
Why did they give Masaton the AoF point when lost?
>>54507928410k views isn't all that bad for a bunch of half assed games and a neogeo title desu
>>545079284I mean, more people cared about SWC this year than the last 2. Maybe it will come back next year with a smaller prize pool.
>>545079201>>545079563It would be embarrassing if the prize dropped from 1 million to like 100k or even 50k.
Another cotw is just cheating
Hey,I think Laggia could be a legit Samsho player.
Laggia is a BEAST
josh is there so they will definitely show something
Both Oda and his goon are on stage. Announcement coming
aof4COTW eos
Oh my God the belt fell off
4 POINT ONE MILLIONWHAT
MORE MONEYANDSUPPORThappy now?
>>545077392I think overall the idea is good but the games should've been different. Like imagine if the selection was made trough the SNK Collection and some of the titles available were along the lines of>Art of Fighting 3>Real Bout 2>KOF 2000>Kizuna Encounter
Well. I'm going to shoot my shot at COTW and KOF. I probably won't make a single dollar but why the fuck not.
Come back next year for the announcements, bro
There is no way for the FGC to ignore this kind of money, right? This has to at least revive SamSho and KOF overnight, right? Please?
>>545080931More like Samurai Shodown 4 or some other game that came out in 96.
You gotta be retarded if you’re running the same games for next year too
sad because of no aof4 but happy because they will keep supporting the games
Doomposrers actually thought the 1.5mil would be a 1-time thing and that SNK would suddenly cancel all post-launch supports. lmao
>>545081135If it means a probable chance for a KOFXV patch, that's fucking cool. Glad COTW isn't dead. I would lose my fucking shit to see new DLC for SamSho.
Why would they put up a teaser, knowing full-well that people would think that they would be showing something at their big tourney, and then proceed to not show anything? Did they do it on-purpose to get people to watch?
>>545081092no point in competing, chinks always win. imagine grinding for a year with nothing to show for it. at least that's what i tell myself to cope
>>545081339>Did they do it on-purpose to get people to watch?Otherwise what’s the point of that AoF tease?https://youtu.be/7WKsUvkBLG4
No body would watch a tournament with the same games again.
>no announcements>more soulless blood money majors that only the 10 same chinks care aboutim not expecting anything from them ever again
Reminder that he said new announcements will be next year so don’t expect anything in TGA.
>>545081920you will be here every single day next year as well schizo-kun
>>545082041Why did they post that AoF teaser so close to SWC? Surely they know most people would expect an announcement there
>>545081092Does the FGC ban of Infiltration affect this tourney? If the answer is no I think he could return from retirement to play SamSho again
so not even a sale? what were they thinking?
>>545082480I don't think SNK cares. LTG could sign up and they'll probably let him in
so did fatal fury finally allow you to play with the og costume of mai or?
>>545082382Bait. Nothing else. They admit nobody cares about SWC organically, so they must pump crazy prize money and bait new game announcements
>>545082708lol
>>545081135Now is the chance to port the 120fps XSX version of SamSho to PS5/PC and bring the game to Switch 2 as well. It could genuinely do good numbers if SNK plays their cards right.
>>545082726I promise if you ask nine out of ten players, they would not be able to tell you the last five CPT winners.Shut up.
>the event surely helped the gamelmao
>>545081825Can you explain why? Im confused on how you got to this conclusion.
They could've at least announced that AOF3 steam port but okay
>more dlc for cotwWould be funny when this game hits 50 concurrent players.
>>545082924It will be lower when there's no more 1.5 millions on the map lol
>>545082924So what fighting game do you play
new figure
>>545082891SWC has double the prize pool of CPT but with fraction of the revenue from the games. So it’s SNK who looks like retards here
>>545083219They have literal infinite money and the next CPT is PPV. Shut up.
>>545082929People were already disinterested in cotw this tourney, AoF3 was for the novelty and expectations for AoF4, but now that’s done. Only KoF and slightly SamShow has actual fans who cares.
>>545082929Why are you even humoring something as retarded as that statement? Of course tournaments repeat games until a new entry comes out.
>SF6 sells 5 million copies>Capcom announces a tournament with 2 million dollars>CoTW sells less than 100k>SNK announces a tournament with 4.1 million dollarsGeez I wonder why they’re a laughing stock
>>545083525It’s fine when it’s a game people like and play not flops like cotw. Or a neogeo game.
awrooooooooo
>>545070806They were actually quite close with KOF having a bit more edge over COTW.
>>545082480Infiltration should've just stuck with SamSho. He's moved on now, though. Wants to be some kind of political activist or something.
>>545082382I never fall for FGC bait anymore, especially from SNK and the 6 year build to XV.
>>545082041I mean, at least you can expect Mr. Big trailer.
the event was alright. i don't care about annoucements. KOF was hype as fuck and Samsho was fun. AOF3 felt like a shitpost, didn't care about COTW
>>545082708Just download the mod.
>>545086705alright, i just wanted to know i been under a rock for awhile thanks
>>545086705>multimillionaire company can't even make shitty costumes for their dead gamethey should put their money up their ass
Lauyagami was carried by Angel, Xiaohai just watched everytime where she knocks off two of his characters
>>545087792ciaogay is an isla/faggotmaru whore he deserves nothing
Instead of paying Laggia 1.5 million dollars to never play COTW again they could have used that money to hire devs to make the game good
>>545088094We got a lot of twitch/youtube views thoughbeit
Angel the queen of SPH!
>>545088270>10k views>a lot
>>545087668its bizarre FAGcom has her almost naked but not the saudi company
>>545088094Jealous, huh
>>545087792This better be a piss take, anon. We haven't seen an Angel with that kind of success at that level of play in a very long time.
glad all the professional bums that thought they could get easy wins got filtered.glad there is a pro tour with the same amount of money next year. looking forward to trying out chun li.
>>545089464>glad all the professional bums that thought they could get easy wins got filtered. Schizo here kept telling us how Capcom and anime invaders would come in and win COTW and SamSho with under a year of experience for easy money.
>>545089464Diaphone quit his high paying management job in the medical industry to focus on COTW and you're happy that he lost?Fuck you, heartless bastard. He has a wife for gods sake.
>>545089725Not for long, now that he's a brokie
What's the trend with these "high" level players quitting secured jobs at Google and shit to bank on beating Asians in a 50/50 competition? Do Nephew and Diaphone really think they're that special?
>>545089464The best part about all of this is that they're salty about it.
>>545090875Diaphone unironically thinks he's some kind of savant, despite being better than average on his best day.
>>545085769He became a right wing grifter. Inceldom in South Korea is extremely strong atm, whatnot with declining birth rates and half of the country being composed of completely lonely dudes. He was in a protest the other day showing support for Karlie Chirk, with signs and chants and all that stuff.What no pussy no love does to a motherfucker. Former SF4 champ and one of the best Akumas in the world btw. God, he was entertaining and a really fun personality, but so was Gootecks...
>>545090875internet clout destroying cognitive capabilities."i'm better than the retards who watch me. so 'im a pro tournament winning level player"they don't comprehend how bad the average person is at anything they do
>>545091182well to be fair even before the marriage fallout a lot of his friends ditched him because he was a bad person that liked to scam people.infiltration only looked like a good person outside korea and in the internet. he was always involved in some retarded drama shit of the korean fgc
>>545043504>playing final fantasy, "oh woaw, SNK just posted a new trailer, Chun Li reveal, for KOFXV- I mean, City of the COTW">"holy SHIIIIIIT LET'S GOOOOOOO TIT CLASH- THE MADMEN">"HYPE">"woaw it's that....one....move, YEAH LETS GOOOOO so hyped">"woawaw cant wait to try her in COTW, i swear i'll do it SNK">continues playing final fantasy for the next 3 months
>>545091624Didn't he scam a shitload of people in a stream or something, or was that someone else?>a lot of his friends ditched him because he was a bad person that liked to scam peoplesame happened to Gootecks LMAO dude was into crypto and other shady shit before making the jump into right nutjob conspiracies. Mike wont even talk nor mention the guy these days
so why was dragonfaggot playing iori of all things lmaoo
>>545090875Nah, Diaphone knows he's a streamer and content creator. But as an FG streamer he has to keep appearances and drive up interest by going to tournaments sometimes.
>gets last place in Group Stage play in the Capcom Cup you only qualified for due to one of the 50 online brackets
Who is that one player that is still making IRS payments a decade later because he didn't know how taxes would work on his Capcom Cup winnings?
The Mai x Chun Li boob clash is actually going semi-viral on twitter. Seeing posts with millions of views, 20k+ likes with people asking what game it’s from. (lol) Can SNK ride this momentum to a playerbase above sub-200 concurrent on Steam?
>>545092447best timeline: they balance the game out, break hotaru's and kain's legs, hyper buff mai and make chunli a top tieractual timeline: they probably will just post another zoomer to be deleted video and call it a day
>>545091650But how is he compared to this man?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIvoEgnEJJo
Why won't they add Mai's classic costume
Thoughts?
wish they add more snk games to the pool for the random game thingy.. was expecting them to play heroines or something fun
>>545095912Mature and Vice should have been a lot better for how much better they look than the rest of the cast
>>545098303Well, they were the last characters added if that might be why.
>>545095912Maxima's portrait looks so fucking weird, dude looks downright simian
>>545091852that and got caught trying to collude multiple tournaments tournament
>>545099463shit. posted without finishing.he caught trying to collude multiple tournament and sabotaging players he didn't like.he was lucky and it got overshadowed by the shitshow that was happening in the korean tekken scene with the match fixing and people forming groups to fuck with knee
>>545091182Caring about Kirk while living in SK is absolutely retarded, but being anti-feminist in SK is really not a bad thing when it’s literally a religious cult there that even hijacked the government once. But this only happens because the males of said nation are weak.
>>545090875Why do you even care?
>>545097675Oh man, that would be fun. Heroines is honestly a legit game, too. I wonder if they are willing to try out different KOFs or they think it'd take attention away from XV? Could you imagine XIV getting some love again?
>>545108959very cutedeserves the main role in the upcoming samsho AAA rpg
>I hate CotW. >Then why don't you play KOF15?>No, I don't want to play KOF15. I want to hate CotW. If KOF15 SWC 2025 hype isn't enough to get you guys playing the game, I don't know what to tell you.
Why is Chun-li seducing Hotaru?
>>545110132This is kinda cringe but I appreciate it still, reminds me when fan service was wholesome.
prollly switching to hag-li when she dropsim not satisfied with bjenet's range and 5d being useless to whiff punish
Say Thank You to the MVP
>>545110132Isn't Hotaru closer to Chun personality wise than Mai?
thank you hinako, will never call you honda for coomers ever again
>>545100748I dont wanna get into politics but you cant let politics become your whole ass personality. Infiltration burned every fucking bridge he could find in order to become an outrage farmer. Could have apologized, could have done or said something, could have shut the fuck up and continued playing Samsho, could have whored out to twitch or something and live off games like Wong or all those other old fucks do, but no, his big ass ego wouldn't let him. He HAD to make an announcement about his new retarded "phase" in life and everybody that gave a shit about him jumped ship
KoF fibals made me realise one thing againI want to fuck Chizuru
>>545112101i just want her heel over my dick, am i asking too much?
>>545112273Imagine if all her clones heel over a dick at the same time, haha...
Nice, they brought Azuma back
do we have more players on ps than steam?
Finally, they made an official replica of Kyo's NESTS jacket
KWAB!
>>545111792I kneel.
>>545112393She can also clone other people, so Chizuru can give you the night of your life.
>>545092447Same way they rode the Ronaldo reveal getting thousands of views or the Shermie trailer getting a million.
>>545055767Former Capcom fanboy who played both companies games here. COTW is better than every SF game since 4. It has flaws, but has much more freedom, satisfaction, and skill. It also isn't rushdown heavy, despite the EX combos. Even at high level, there're a few different playstyles. You can play patient, you can zone, you can rushdown, etc. A lot of modern games don't have that anymore. Plus, color edit, free dlc, singleplayer modes...
>>545057449>Don't listen to people saying that it's hard,This. WTF lol. The game is easy as fuck. Buncha scrubs in here.
>>545119783nice try but the game is hella hardand this comes from a sf6 master, a xv immortal and an overall goated anime fighter enjoyer
>>545058685XV deserved to fail, too. And it did. Part of cotw's failure is on XV being so shit. Nobody trusted them after>broken matchmaking for an entire year>snk denying the problem existed>lie baiting about things like Kyo's extra costumes>almost no costumes whatsoever>fewer modes than the previous game, after 6 years development>fewer characters after 6 years development, despite ->recycling most of the returning roster and adding no new moves for most of them>no effort for team dlc (no stages)>decreasing even that lack of effort, by resorting to single character dlc>half assed boss mode with less than 3 bosses>weak sfx>pretty much disappearing and abandoning the game, just like SamShoThey killed all trust in their abilities with XV
>>545059328The ones who defended the previous problems are the ones who helped SNK fail.
>>545120278I was just thinking about this, too. I thought it was weird everyone was pinning all the blame for CoTW's flop on CoTW itself and suddenly it's like XV did no wrong whatsoever even though it was blatantly the game that overpromised and underdelivered when SNK had more eyes on them for the first time in the long time and after churning out such a lackluster pack of course it'd kill interest for whatever they had planned next. Now there's no denying CoTW's fuckass advertising and celeb shilling as well as it's own flaws as a game added to it's failure, but it's like everyone forgot that XV was the one that started the fucking fire.
>>545059930COTW is the better game. Problem is the wider tribalist FGC fanboys prefer Street Fighter, and the KOF have no neutral and only like Eolith style KOF games. Not their fault. That's what they grew up on and what Nu SNK fostered with 14 and 15. On top of that, it's too expensive for most SNKfags who are poor as fuck, so there's a little sour grapes, too.The game got fucked from all angles, really. SNK fucking up the launch and not having the presentation. The shill infested FGC. The pricing. The Eolith fanboys.
>>545120827can we look at pros for a moment? punk tried to get into cotw and failed and he got dem neutchon the other hand we have different hopxicans reaching top 8 every major which means the game may be less mexihopper than kof but still rewards monkey interactions and movement too muchair just defend killing antiairs doesn't help either
>>545060459The asinine choices like those are one of many flaws. There should be no Rev Guard period.>>545061123I like the game, but this. They are still sucking Capcock and copying every terrible thing they do, thinking stuff like Slime is why people bought SF6, instead of brand history, presentation, and actually putting out at least one classic every 15 years.SNK seem to never understand the only devs that can only get away with dumb decisions are ones with clout. And that clout takes yeeeeears to build. You can't just be bottom tier and start cutting corners and dumbing your games down. Won't work.
>>545089464THIS. LMAOing at Diaphone thinking he could bag an easy 100k+ while barely practicing the games only to get BTFO by GO1 and a literal who Mexican.
>>545060820Too many things are safe. Rev Blow being safe is hilarious. Doing EX > EX > EX on block being safe is even funnier. There's a based game underneath all the crap and it's annoying as fuck. By the time they fix it, it will be too late. Just like Samurai Shodown, XV... All these JP companies releasing unfinished games makes me think maybe 80s, 90s, 2000s JP crunch culture was a good thing. Bring back crunch.
>>545120278Another day of making shit up? The only thing you got right was the 1 year broken matchmaking.
>>545065957>People genuinely hate watching COTW.Game's launch left a sour taste in people's mouths. Everyone was hype until the 1st beta and the guest characters. Let's not act like 100s of people loved watching kof, either. SNK fucked up over a series of years and it all lead to their most polished game flopping.
>>545066835>SF6 is good, thoughOnly good things are the animation, dlc, and lighting. Gameplay sucks, roster sucks, meta sucks, skill level is drooling retard tier, even more braindead than cotw. SNK needed to beat or match SF6's animation, downloadable content, and presentation level. That was all they needed to do, and they didn't. Point blank.
>>545121876Prove them wrong or shut up. You still have cum on your chin, btw. Zero tolerance for your emo fanboy bullshit.
>>545121195It's still kof deep at its core when you get to higher levels. You can play it like a normal FF lower down, cause on the surface, it's honest. But as soon as it hits tourney level, the game is exposed, because there's too much cheap BS fishing for ex combos like in XV.
>>545121876kek the snk dff energy is strong with this one
>>545120734They are Eolith fanboys, who either can't afford COTW or are those younger millennials/zoomers who feel left out about things that existed before they were born, so they hate Golden Age SNK, including Fatal Fury. We all saw how shoddily SNK handled KOF XV.It's like when Disney fucked up Star Wars when they still had customer faith, then were surprised when the next Star Wars movie flopped. If everyone is hype for a product, and you repeatedly fumble, people will eventually stop caring. They won't believe or trust you anymore. That's what happened. The beta and the launch was SNK;s last shot after a decade of bullshit, and they fumbled.
>>545123252>who either can't afford COTW>this defense
>>545123437well dem poorfags now have unlimited blood money so what is their excuse now???
>>545043504>>545067342Fist bump?Chest bumphttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGENK4fggHE
>>545110132There was a bit of a joke during the Epipalaeolithic about how SF3 had a horny ninja girl with big tits and MotW a kung-fu girl.
>>545124061capcom sabotaged them by trade reversing them and hacking their employees to do a bad job on purpose, it wasn't snk's fault in the end
Whu do you guys hate Xiaohai?
>>545127887>unlimiten pesos chinos>cutiepie wife>doesn't need to work>most likely has a bigger dong than most of us>friend of E. fucking T.i wish that was me
>>545127887i don'tif he wins he winsit's just not an underdog tale to make the matches more than one-sided 99% of the time that it's more exciting when someone can not only take him on but also take him down
Go1 placed higherHe plapped Xiaohai all night yesterday.
>>545128402>friend of E. fucking T.Shouldn't he get into troubles for that?
>>545131643This is a 40 year old sallaryman in a mocap suit btw.
>>545133192thiswhy is she moving in such an animated fashion that's not practical and it comes off as very theatricin fact that's like every character
>>545133192proof?
>>545114570>do not wear a jacket over a tank tophuh? why not
>>545131643Pure Gigastacy energy
Not posting anymore till new game announcement see ya
>>545131643Do you have Sylvie's intro?
>>545136946Nope, sorry amigo
>>545113467Why don't they just give her the classic costume
>>545138559noooo u mustu appleshietu maiu safehornyu!!
>>545138559Hey buddy, why don't you PUT A FORK IN YOUR LEFT EYEBALL? Swear to GOD, costumes this, costumes that, battle pass this, season that- Ah but 20 years ago people used to bitch about on-disk DLC and bloated shit but the FGC, like the good beaten wife it is, actively DEMANDS to continue being fucked in the arse. I guess I gave the Wolf Pack too much credit
>>545141354Oda-san, that's no way to treat a paying customer. Remember, they're gonna take your toes if you don't get the sales up by next year.
After yesterday's tourney, I have a question.Is Chizuru difficult to pilot?
>>545147214treat her like a shoto with a teleport and ninja log
>>545119783Anon, you have to come to terms with the reality that fighting games across the board are extremely toned down. Despite SNK trying to make their games easier they are still the most difficult on pure execution.>>545060396>>545070806I mean that and KOF has always been the bigger brand than Fatal Fury so it should be more popular frankly.>>545120278"SHATTER ALL EXPECTATIONS" also fucked them over a bit for the hardcore fandom. Many people were salivating that character teams were going to get extremely swapped around in this game... only for it all to still be a bit standard. I saw the hype drop a bit in real time.
>>545147214Everytime I play against her, I either get real close and mate-press her, or she downloads me and theres fuck all I can do
Realistic expectation of when the hell we're going to see Mr. Big and/or the Season 2 lineup reveals?VGAs would be way too early for a reveal (maybe?) and waiting ALL the way until Frosty Faustings, the next worthwhile FG major, doesn't work with the 1 character per 2 month schedule.

>>545151762Isn't Shingo 16?
