Are there any SNK characters only (You) care about? Tell me.

>>555092859Max debuted the same year as Boxer, so it's worse than a ripoff. It's unintentionally creating the exact same character at the exact same time but worse
Orochi by Netflix
As someone new to snk, terry is the only iconic looking character to me. Everyone else is kinda... lame
>>555099895All of SNK's iconic characters are in KOF. Fatal Fury was always about Terry vs. NPCs (it was supposed to be Terry, Andy and Joe but MotW ruined that and Andy and Joe became joke characters)
>>555095062Too attractive for Netflix, bring her down another 3 cups sizes and slim those legs. Bloat that stomach.

SNK is like when a good amateur musician is managed an incompetent family relative who thinks they 'know the business'.

Kazuya is coming.
>>555114592I mean...
Arcane was some animation that made LoL ip soar into new highs of popularity especially among normalfags, and so was Edge Runners, maybe SNK can put this saudi money into good use, and contract a studio to make an animation for their ips, you know actually good marketing. But please not FF or AoF. Of course if it happens oda will give it obari just to add another flop to his cv.
>>555119439They have their own studio now run by some yankee get ready for the AI generated orochi saga
>>555119439Sega announced a Virtua fighter anime and SNK slapped their fatal fury logo on a boxing and wrestling ring...

So is Hotaru like Top 1 instead of Top One?

I can't believe maximillian chud is simply not gonna play the game, he's just gonna say he likes the game and never play it

>>555228081because it got youtube ratio'd
>>555228865Has anyone seen an ad?
I mean why would you play COTW. It has no real graphics like SF, Tekken, or MK and it has no SOVL like UNI or KOF. And the MOTW roster killed the IP for 20 years yet they brought 90% of them back.
"real graphics" why are fgctards so fucking stupid
Saudi has cancelled the line city project because they can’t afford it anymore.Your days are numbered snk lol
>>555243394Nooooooooooooooooooo we need to pay GO1 2.5 million dollars a year to play............................... Kain
>>555243529Lol
Saudis probably won’t even sell snk ips they will just move them to their own domestic gaming companies that will sit on them forever.
>>555243394It was a stupid project from the start because of its size. If only they had reduced the original size to 20% to see if it worked, they could have expanded it later. or not. anyway. Rip, Snk.
>SNK is going to lose the infinite money card>We won't see any games with good graphics from SNK in this timeline>Last Blade 3 will be canceledWhat suffering...
>>555250668but hey, at least that one anon can still get matches in seconds so as long as it works on his machine everything is a-ok
>you don't get matcheslooooooool snk is dead>you get matcheslooooooool snk is dead

>page 10PUTA SAVES NEOG
havent played cotw in months, did my boy dong hwan at least get buffed?
>>555275806yes
>>555276967
Hey, Ronaldo!
>>555243394yes, because SNK that costs like $10 million/year is comparable to his gigantic city in the desert
maximilian chud quite literally didn't play cotw, he sabotaged the game completely, the saudis should khashoggi him
>>555278840the point is that they're slashing on all their investments, that no longer make any returns. Is SNK profitable? no.
>>555284092They had a big capital reduction in the last few months. Blind shills will always try to cope about every red flag that doesn't conform to their hugbox until it's too late.
>>555090453My personal potentialman, but at this point I don't really care that much if he doesn't make it in COTW at some point
dont google how much bin salman is worth, morons>>555285015he's never getting in, maybe if we get season 4 and 5
>>555088767It's been a while now since the patch hit for CotW; could anyone please tell me how impactful this last balance patch was? Biggest winners and losers? How much the game has changed after it?I'm planning to get into the game, but sadly the game isn't on sale at the moment, otherwise I would have gotten it today...
>>555288112patch nerfed kain and hotaru and made everyone a bit stronger, don't trust any tierlists yet, ken is strong tho and hokutomarugame is far cheaper now but yeah, wait for the discount then
>>555287643There's a reason Anon called him Potentialman. Even thought CotW actually ties into FF3's story better than MotW does, the Jins are nowhere to be seen or even referencedWhat makes it more frustrating really is just the collabshit has such a massive stranglehold on the roster still. We're 5/28 characters not SNK characters at all and 2 more characters that aren't Fatal Fury, which at least ARE from the same continuity so I would be generous and count them. For an epic comeback, it sure feels like the game doesn't really care about the integrity of its setting
>>555288660the game needs collab characters to try and attract normies, very few people care about deep lore fatal fury characters, again if we get season 4 and 5 we'll have enough slots for everyone
>>555288629wait, how hard was the Hotaru hit? I liked her the most from all the cast.
>>555289181she's slower and more predictable, kain got hit the hardest
>>555289025Welcome:>Ohtani>Messi>Max Verstappen>Olivia Rodrigo>Goku>Waldo>3/4 Beatles>Donald Fucking Trump
>every character that wasn’t introduced in the Garou subseries has already been in KOF>and even including season 2, literally all of those characters were in KOF15 except for Big and Krausershould’ve just made KOF16 and dripfed the Garou cast as DLC
>>555289025Yeah that sure fucking worked, huh?
>>555289025Did Strive collab with Messi to attract players? snk is incompetent and is cutting corners with collab shit but it won't help them. collab works with games people already like and play like Fortnite, but they don't get it, they just copy thing without understanding.
>>555279427Everything just went downhill for SNK when the DOOD dropped SNK sponsorship/shilling because of Rapenaldo. Many other FGC shills like Sajam avoiding COTW and SNK in-general because of virtue-signaling over the Saudis also fucked things for SNK. They have NO-ONE prominent in their corner to shill them now, and the constant bad-press around them as done nothing but destroy their goodwill. SNK's products don't have the looks, nor now even Casual-darlings content-creators like Max to get HOIYPE and all that shit over their stuff anymore. How the FUCK are they supposed to grow now?
>>555295675Saudis now own EA, the "boycott saudi games" will fall on deaf ears just like how it happened for chinese games. it's entirely snk responsibility to make a comeback after cotw. But no, oda will make aof4 another lame fighter with a boring recycled cast and ps3 graphics, and it will be the fault of everyone but snk
>>555279427snk sabotaged themselves, they should get that punishment too
How much did Tizoc get buffed?
BOOOOOOOOORING
please go jerk off
it's prayer time, not rn.
Just beat Art of Fighting 1 for the first time with no save states.Pretty fun, though I wish companies would like port their old games (not emulate it) with widescreen and less cheaty CPUs for cazzies like me.I've always been more interested in fighting games as a casual arcade mode thing, maybe play with some friends.
https://youtu.be/_RHjB6MtcXQAoF on SNES is something else
>>555307501AOF1 deserves a remake that still focuses on the story and not just being pvp because it's such a unique experience that's held back by being a quarter muncher. Fatal Fury 1 too, both were really trying to be something really interesting and different before SFII turned every fighting game going forward into compslopSNK really settled for just being a bootleg Capcom afterwards
>>555312780>. Fatal Fury 1 too, both were really trying to be something really interesting and different before SFII turned every fighting game going forward into compslopPersonally I think FF3 is still the most ambitious game
>>555316220It is but it's held back by its dev hell fucking over the balance and being the first Fatal Fury with a bad roster
>>555312780I don't really want a remake so much as I want a port, or if it is a remake, like a remake that is 1:1 in all the ways that matter, but then touching it up a la the modern versions of the classic Sonic the Hedgehog games where It's the same sprites, general gameplay, and music, but the frame rate is more stable, It's in widescreen, slightly higher resolution -- both of which should be easier to do with Art of Fighting than other fighters, due to the sprite scaling in those games would lend themselves a bit more to expanding the aspect ratio and slightly upping resolution -- and better CPUs.A full on 3D remake wouldn't be great IMO.It could be made to work, but not with SNK as it currently is.Even my idea I wouldn't want to be a "definitive release" since even just fixing the framerate in a fighting game will have spillover effects, so an emulated version included would be nice.
>>555316637I wouldn't really want a 3D remake either because the current staff at SNK are retarded and think it should be the next EVO on stage embarrassment. We can't have single player fighters in this day and age because "that's not right"I wouldn't mind a 3D remake if it was focused on these concepts though. Stuff like cinematic storytelling, retaining the battle damage, limited roster. But that's not a game you can sell for $60 but neither was CotW
>>555316220Fatal Fury 3 is still my favorite 90's fighting game as far as arcade modes go just because I love the presentation.You can tell they really wanted to make something more story-focused.Unfortunately it apparently being a commercial flop scared them away from that, so we got the Real Bout games instead which are more Street Fighter esque in how they give almost zero shits about story.Thankfully Mark of the Wolves I feel like was the series coming back to It's senses.
>>555306876Done. What now?
>>555293117guilty gear has a good cast of character, fatal fury has 3 or 4 decent characters and 20 soulless npcs, you can't even compare btoh ips in any way>>555291863it needs far more collab characters to remove the staunch of having billy, vox, kevin, dong, hokutomaru, andy, preecha and other soulless npc characters off of the game that I don't remember right now>>555295675the fgc is just a bunch of 40 years old boomers that live in poverty and depend on capcom/sf to pay the next rent, trying to appease to those irl losers is a waste of time and money, people who spent 20 years playing fighting games, never won anything, barely make enough money to survive, they smell like failure and snk being stupid trying to get on their good side instead of investing in game play and trying to build a grassroots community was a far bigger mistake than the dj or cr7snk focus should be cool and distinct characters that add more gameplay options and improving said gameplay by listening to the current players, this is the only way to build a community, not paying shills
>>555322526>it needs far more collab characters to remove the staunch of having billy, vox, kevin, dong, hokutomaru, andy, preecha and other soulless npc characters off of the game that I don't remember right nowSure fuckin worked
>>555322526>fatal fury has 3 or 4 decent characters and 20 soulless npcsThe entire cast of Fatal Fury Special and Real Bout 2 disagreeExcept for Sokaku, fuck that generic jabroni
>>555324023real bout 2 has a better cast than motw, but they had to add the stupid soulless motw characters in otherwise people would whine even more than they already do
half of the roster is lame, no wonder snk went bankrupt, this is the problem with making 1 new fighting game every year and trying to follow a storyline, you're forced to kill cool characters and come up with slop to replace them, kim kaphwan is better than both his sons and occupies only 1 slot, joe higashi is enough with the muai thai archetype but now we have preecha, etc etcsnk can't think of making a live service game that lasts 10 years, which is the industry standard for online competitive multiplayer, because the way they work is mass producing games and selling 1 new game every 2 years

>>555330274usually kof yowey doujins do that
>>555330274photorealistic akari shall fix you
>>555325107>Freeman and Hokutomaru>Lame Yeah. Fuck you too. You has don't even born when this game came out, faggit.
>liking hokutomaru unironicallyyou have no taste and freeman was lame, clearly a rushed half-cooked characternot gonna reply because you'll delete it with bcuz of bad english
>>555330516>You has don't even born
>>555330274Nice try, Andy.
>>555330435photorealistic fbi shall fix you
>>555330516The porn addicts (I don’t like this word but it’s true in this case) only want gacha designs with muh big tiddy anime girls, they’re brainless npcs with zero originality.
yeah like freeman and hokutomaru are such inspired characters, that to not like them means you only go to the opposite extreme for waifu characters, instead of just realizing they are shit characters in a shit rosterthe agenda of the snk mark
>>555335330I like Vox. Favorite newcomer SNK's made in years but he's held back in this baby ass mickey mouse game. I don't mind him being a chill guy to Kain, Marie, and Grant but a dude who's been a street assassin since childhood and is actively helping Kain try to take over the city should not be some dude the rest of the cast can hang out and eat burgers with.
>>555335960Shit that was meant for >>555322526
They're playing 2xko instead of cotw...
Honestly a lot of my problems with the characters in CoTW boils down to them not really being given much to do that carries any meaningful weight. They're fine characters, likeable even. Good designs overall. But nothing in CoTW gives them any real opportunity to really feel memorable. EOST stuff is fine for just a look at a day in the lives of these characters but it's just not enough. Where's the conflict? The stakes? Consequences? Where's that grit that MoTW had?
>>555335960you can like characters, just don't expect others to care that they even exist just because some of you anons are upset that people like things like cool characters that some of you say are "slop" or waifu characters that some here have pejoratively referred to as gacha charactersjust to say this in general to everyone, you can't decry what's popular and then whine that what you like isn't popular and make up some stupid reaching reason, at least not without getting called out for such ostentatious attitudesnothing about snk is glamorous, cool, or posh, or trendy, or even remarkable, they were there in the yesteryears but they squandered themselves and got too full of themselves with bullshit like theme parks, that is how headass they was na'mean jellybean
>>555336675it's p much like talking about booking rasslineven if you had star characters which there aren't a lot of in the fatal fury franchise, if there's none of what you mentioned, there's no engagement factor to get people to give a shitit boils down to people wanting to see people have issues with other people and wanting two people to want to kick each other's asses, or at least one wants to kick the other's ass and the the guy he wants to kick the ass of is a weasly asshole who tries to slither his way out of it only to get his comeuppance eventuallyit's that simple, and you can build upon those kinds of simple concepts to extrapolate them and make people interested>>555336835

https://youtube.com/post/UgkxHGTAc6mtAs2dBm79h65VipNbWQcX8h7pHey guys COTW just won another best fighting game award! Yeah! We just can't stop winning!
One day this will be SNK..........one day.....
>>555341387Why would one of them even be evil?
>>555346239Because... why not, you stupid bastard?
>normie friend ask me if cotw is even worth playing cause every time pat and woolie bring it up, it's always overly negative
the same people who made even geese a good guy, can make anyone evil too.
>>555351838They're eternally buttmud at Matt being more successful than the 2 of them combined so they lash out at the things he likes.
>>555354527i dont know anything about that but it's annoying to see people ignore anything good this game might do just because the fgc cares more about "optics" than anything else now
>>555354919good thing that's really only some people since most people don't even know those guys exist and don't even care to know that snk or its games exist either
>>555351838A good friend would never recommend a boring shitty game like CoTW.
>>555355847get out of here
>>555316220>>555316624>>555316924Is there any ROM hack that takes Fatal Fury 3 but replaces the mechanics and characters with their Real Bout 1 versions? Real curious to see how that would function
>>555354919Their crappy little podcast barely gets 1/3 of the attention Matt's endless low effort fighting game videos make, and when they broke up the group you could tell Woolie and Pat were expecting they would be more successful for it. Pat's family makes more in Canadian welfare for his "chronically ill" wife than he makes streaming, and Woolie is just stuck being mad at everything because he's a miserable person and people don't find that appealing anymore.
Imagine being so soulless to care this much about random e-celeb drama.
>>555365598they need someone/something to blame for cotw's failures EXCEPT snk themselves
Personally I can think COTW sucks but seeing miserable washed-up ecelebs is also funny
>>555369673i don't even think cotw *sucks*, i just think it's aggressively underwhelming, it's like it went out of its way to underdeliver and that's just bizarre of a gesture
>>555362435Little too ambitious for what most people are capable of, fighting game romhacks are a rarity outside of balance tweaks or shitpost hacks like Rainbow Edition. Even then that doesn't really fix the issue that outside of Terry, Geese, Franco and Mary the cast of FF3 just don't really HAVE a worthwhile story. You'd be writing fanfiction to salvage some of the charactersYou might as well objectively replace Hon-Fu with Kim
I don't like playing against tizok.And any other grappler btw.
Always on page 9. Thank you oda.
>>555321831Please tell me where I can this brother
>>555388158I don't even remember the threads being THIS dead during the KOFXV hype cycle. Things were a lot more optimistic back then
>>555388158You're welcome (raughs)
>>555374532Grapplers are supposed to have bad normals to make up for their throw damage. No such consideration was made for Tizoc.
>>555390407>Things were a lot more optimistic back theneven with me around? that's bizarrelike a jojob adventure
>>555351838I know someone who's played fighting games for 2 decades, loves the difficulty, the skill, dislikes handholding all that stuff. He was gonna buy CoTW, but watched SNK's vid about all the mechanics, and told me it looks too convoluted and complicated. This guy would love the game, but SNK's vids made it look like you need to use all the mechanics to enjoy it (to some people). I told him, you don't need all that.
Is he?Is he /ourguy/?

>>555322526>SNK's trying to appeal to boomersWrong.>SNK's trying to appeal to the FGCCorrect. Dumbing down inputs, Rev Blocking, Rev Blows, dumbing down Oki isn't for boomer players. It's for the Nu FGC, not to be confused with the old FGC, People like Sajam and Max are Nu FGC. They shilled SFV, 2XKO, and SF6 - all of those would've bombed and been flat out rejected by the old FGC. And they were, as a ton of the players, ie: boomers, from the MVC3 and SFIV era left and never came back.
>>555394553>and told me it looks too convoluted and complicatedit's weird because blazblue appealed to a lot of people and it had a lot of convolutions, even moreso in bbcf and it still gets players, so i don't think it's so much the quantity but of the nature

>>555393883Back then it was just your fuck ass, now it's the whole thread because CotW is even more fucking unappealing of a product. KOF never had high standards to begin with, so people are disappointed with SNK's first real revival that wasn't just the same safe shit they'd been doing for +20 years made for a very fucking bitter fanbase. They chose ALL the wrong options on reviving Fatal Fury, the main one being killing KOFXV as their main fighter and deciding an even fucking dumber product should be their focus for the next 3 years and from the looks of things there's no goddamn way this thing is pushing more than 2
^this is the salty faggot who thought cotw was going to replace kof lmaoooooo
>>555325107>Gato is lame>generic wrestler birdman is good
>>555403505cotw could have been at least somewhat bigger than it was, but it relied more on nostalgia and trying to repackage the nostalgia factor rather than refreshing the property with some actual new shit that would actually get an audience, and that audience isn't looking specifically at muh "solid gameplay", they are looking for fun with characters that look appealing, and they failed to nail at least the latter, and frankly, i don't think the combozzz are fun, it just turns it into more modern kof shit but without even the draw that kof has of just being kofyou can't draw a new crowd to an old product that wasn't drawing in people as much back then either, and knockoff brands of those old characters like preecha and vox don't draw eithercharacter designer fail
>>555406941Vox and Preecha's main failures are just not leaning into their concepts better, Preecha doesn't have any sauce to her nerdshit Velma Muay Thai fighter and Vox isn't a 2000s edgelord he's a 2000s edgelord with a baby boy personality. They aren't doomed concepts, just the result of SNK not knowing how to refine concepts anymore which has been proven time and time again since KOFXIV, even in SamSho given how sauceless its newcomers are. Isla and Dolores were fine, but heavily downplayed like how KOFXV in general was heavily downplayed as a bump in the road to CotW. Makes CotW's failure more embarrassingAnd let's be real, the newcomers in Strive weren't particularly exciting either. Nagoriyuki and Giovanna didn't move needles. Goldlewis, Happy Chaos and Unika have but not as much as reinvented old characters like Bridget, Elphelt and Slayer. We don't really NEED that many newcomers, we just need more justification to give a shit about older characters. Capcom has effectively given up on its newcomers and focuses exclusively on pandering now. Alex is the most popular he's ever looked and all it took was turning him Heel and giving him actual respect for onceCotW was just doomed because SNK wanted compslop wearing the skin of Fatal Fury, not a new Fatal Fury GAME. This shit barely qualifies as a video game, and doesn't have roster numbers to back up its anemic content
ARMAGEDDON BUSTERRR
>>555408321I forgot to mention Unika's popularity comes from ripping off Reina and making her Bridget's girlfriend despite the fact she's supposed to be GG's new main character. Her backstory and writing are fucking awful and her moveset is more rushdown slop. They basically just blended all the most boring, safe FGC traits into a character and called it a newcomer. It's the pinnacle of everything wrong with current fighting gamesBut SNK couldn't do better with Rock. This supposedly supremely popular and beloved character who has a rich backstory and lore couldn't make a dent in this current era because SNK just doesn't have an idea who they should be gunning for. They go for fickle retards who exist to make money and not a strong, wider spread fanbase of people who'll appreciate their concepts more. Insane ass developers deserve a failure of a game by not understanding the pulse of the community as a whole. Wasted concepts end up causing people to hate them more than if they pull them off badly like ArcSys
>>555408321>doesn't have any saucetrue dat, something i said before, no sauce, no drip, no popa better character designer would have helped a lot on that, but it's not something you can easily measure, just someone with an incredibly good eye as a recruiter would be able to tell who has thatusually a visionary director has that knack>And let's be real, the newcomers in Strive weren't particularly exciting either. Nagoriyuki and Giovanna didn't move needles.also true, but gg had characters people really liked, such as sol, slayer, ino, axl, of course bridget, millia, dizzy like that one guy who got his computer checked out because all he had were dizzy pictures on his computerfatal fury has...terry, and rock, and mai, so there's a difference here between gg and ff in that gg already had something to work with, and ff had characters who may have been okay in the 90s, but...and that's why appealing new characters would have been better, as long as they weren't treated like poochie or having everything revolve around themsomething like juri, in terms of being a lightning in a bottle as someone put it, that's the kind of pop of a character the series really neededgameplay, eh, i just wanted cool lane gameplay but with more variety in character specific gameplay
>>555409272SNK really tried to strike a Faustian bargain with DOOD and his Rock self-insert boner and even managed to fumble that
and this is gonna be a hard pill to swallow for the nerds, but they keep talking about how players don't like the scrubby slime tactics of sfdix, but guess what, most people actually don't want honest gameplay no matter what they say to either themselves or to other peoplethe real truth is, people like a little dishonesty in their gameplay, even if to kid themselves if not just other people, because honesty means they could expose even themselves to a truth, and that's a dirty little shadow of a secret that they have tucked away in their minds that they don't want to acknowledge, kind of like something right out of carl jung analysesit's like believing in santa claus even when you know he's not a real person, or jesus, or religion in general, or suspension of disbelief when watching movies or pro rasslin, people want to believe something even if it's a lie, and a little dishonesty can go a long wayso when you think to yourself that cotw should be drawing in people for being more honest compared to sfdix, you really should think about the psychological aspects like that
>>555409308Unless they went for an even more casually orientated game, lane gameplay was never coming back. And that was my issue from day one with how CotW was handled. It should've been an actual casual game instead of being a hardcore game with casual mechanics. You have KOF, that's a perfectly comprehensive and well beloved hardcore game. There was potential to branch out but they choose to remain in their dying circleAnd let's be real most GG characters were suffering the same fucking fate as SNK characters. Only Dizzy and I-No would get merch. That's no real different than being subjected to a million Mai and Athena figures. The difference now is that GG had shed its cultivated identity for a gentrified dadrock take that's more generally beloved. It's not the way to go about things, but it's A way to become successful in this current climate. People don't seem to talk about how niche Accent Core and Xrd were as games, Strive retroactively brought what was effectively a doujin fighter into the spotlightSNK could have done that but they decided to advertise their game at wrestling events or just showing off a single character trailer every other month was enough advertising. In general the advertising hurt this game more than the game itself, because they would focus on all this retarded shit instead of the game itself. And system mechanics videos hardly qualify as advertising. It would be like reading the Super Mario Sunshine manual and saying tech is the reason you should buy this game in commercialsIt's fundamentally not a game for the average person, so it doesn't even get an average playerbase. Picrel, what ArcSys was doing before success
>>555410198>lane gameplay was never coming backbut it's right there in the game
>>555410254Wow, one stage after a whole Season of DLC! Especially when they promised more than one and it's gimmick shit that literally nobody plays!I'm not the disingenuous one, SNK is
>>555410198oh please, the merch thing is one thing, but we're talking about charisma and recognizability, and sol stands out far more as a character than hat ken, despite the fact that sol bad guy is like some kind of moveset derivative of hat ken, and unfortunately, hat ken and his fatal fury squad are not only products of their times, most of the roster in those games are mostly subject to being the less popular answer in a family feud final>>555410381and they said that there'd be more, and ringoutsand it's not like i haven't been like, "where da lane stages at" with a will smith pose
>>555410536Sol really isn't that much more recognizable than Terry because of charisma or innate design cool concepts. It's solely due to Strive breaking the ice. Prior to Strive, it would've been purely opinion whether or not Terry or Sol was cooler. Now people will innately say Sol because Strive is the more popular and well known game than SNK's work because SNK just haven't made anything that breaks the ice like Strive does. And I genuinely don't know, because I don't want SNK to become what Strive has become the way it has become. Neither SF6. But they aren't even close to finding their niche because they settle like Bamco does, except Bamco is #2. But my point remains the same, GG was weaboo nerd anime shit until Strive made it cool. BlazBlue was the more popular and beloved franchise until it died and GG replaced it. Would you consider Ragna cooler than Hat Ken's retarded gorilla knock off?Anyway I have no idea why there hasn't been an update or anything. It should be a fucking game mode toggle, not a goddamn stage. That's some next level incompetence
After Mary and Geese, are Yamazaki and Kim the last popular-ish characters (i.e. KOF mainstays) before SNK is actually forced to commit to deeper cuts?
>>555411028Duck King doesn't count as popular-ish?
>>555411028Yes but both of those were in KOF too so they wouldn't be exciting inclusionsDuck King should've been back already, needing to wait until the second half of the year for him is too fucking late. Rick should've been S2, not the rest of the fucking Fatal Fury roster we're getting
we are starving for CUTE girls, soooo it's about damn time we get Lily Cane in the roster already. Make her idk, a vtuber or something.
monkey’s paw curls: Chonshu gets in but is now trans *raughs*
>>555410968i was seeing smash fags request sol badguy during the smash 4 days and terry didn't even enter their minds, and when terry appeared, a lot of them went "literally who???"
>>555406941it's not even good at the nostalgia outside of the obari shit
>>555411927it was a combination of not being good at it and the original stuff just having a hard time catching peoples' interest to begin with, and it's not like i hate the characters either and i'm even one of those peeps who would have liked characters like cheng or jubei in there, even though jubei would probably be dead or in a wheel chair
I detect a paradox where people will call SNK characters lame if looking at them standalone but if you say “CvS3” those same people are like “DOOOOOOD THAT WOULD BE HYPE LET’S GOOOOOOOO”
>>555411557I was a smashfag back then and i haven't seen a single human request fighting game characters back then outside of heihachi
>>555412510Guy who's lying award
>>555413209Guy who made it up award
Any new leaks since season 2 began?Also, any way to mod the skin color edit back in?
>>555411557Here's the fun part, I was a Smashfag back then and I didn't know who the fuck Terry or Sol Badguy were so I know you're full of shit. I didn't even know who Kazuya was when added to Ultimate. That was my actual gateway into fighting games because the SNK DLC didn't interest me at the time. The ONLY reason I'm an SNKfag now is because of Tekken making me finally take the plungeAnd I'll be real, if I were playing modern games instead of 90s arcade games as my entry point to fighting games, I wouldn't give a shit about any of these franchises to begin with. They ALL are coasting on being legacy franchises>>555412510This is more accurate because fighting games are a B movie genre that the larger gamer space doesn't give a fuck about. It was Street Fighter, Tekken and Mortal Kombat back then. The only difference now is MK has completely throttled their franchise and Strive took over the #3 spot
>>555412369Well that's simply because CapGAWD has people in their grasp, and lots love the way they do things. In-fact, they've made the best versions of SNK characters, Terry and Mai, for most people with SF6. Most especially Mai, who's 50x more popular than she's ever been, solely because of SF6. Helps that she's also good in-game. There's probably more people that play Mai in SF6 daily than there are people who play COTW and KOF 15 combined daily.
>>555406941>you can't draw a new crowd to an old product that wasn't drawing in people as much back then eitherAgreed. When you make good graphics the characters naturally change appearance no need for a redesign, GG was an old product that wasn't drawing in people as much back then too, but the way Strive looked was like a rebirth for the characters, it proved they weren’t outdated design wise. Now come cotw, it failed in both, the game looked ugly and characters stayed relatively unchanged. Motw’s cast might not be bad in hindsight but the game’s look and style doesn’t suit them. So basically the secret is finding the style that suits your characters or change them accordingly.
>>555427031Fucking lord this, people were shitting on the Xrd redesigns for the GG characters for ages and then Strive came around and made all the characters infinitely more appealing to casuals. It legitimately takes making a game that ACTUALLY looks good to make your characters look good. Coping that it's the roster that sucks and it needs collabslop is giving up entirelyHas anybody in here fucking seen how Millia looked in Xrd? Shit, Ky NEVER looked cool until Strive. I hear so many retarded takes of "Ky lost his sauce" as if anybody even talked about Ky being cool once in their lives
>>555409272>But SNK couldn't do better with RockWhat I didn’t understand is why make him a perfect good boy when Terry is already present? What’s the point? And also what’s the point of him carrying evil blood if he’s just going to be like any random terry picked up and raised? It’s why they ultimately made Geese secretly a good guy all along, to justify Rock’s casteration.Rock should’ve not been evil obviously, but should’ve been complex anti-social like Vegeta or Iori which reflects their rough past and blood. Or even someone like Giorno cool calm collected because their fathers were both genius crime lords, but they don’t want to be evil like them.
ArcSys having a sophisticated business sense to realize Strive is only popular for its characters not gameplay and making Strive 2 will have the same fate as Overwatch 2 is really praiseworthy, makes you wonder why snk is so retarded when they’re a bigger company with a legacy.
>>555431790That's not what they're doing, they're updating Strive to be "Version 2" whenever the fuck that is. The way Blizzard handled Overwatch 2 was only something you can do as a fully evil company with disinterest in your consumer base as anything other than a dollar or statistic. The most evil thing they're doing right now is killing OG Granblue, and that's just because nobody plays it when Rising existsIf anything, SNK is more likely to pull an Overwatch 2. The problem is they haven't earned the attention and respect Overwatch 1 had
>>555419085i was in the threads bruh so noi wouldn't say all smash fags knew who sol was, but plenty more knew who sol was to give his name into the pot and not a single mention of terrybut even metal slug would get brought up>>555412510>heihachilolgonna have to go to the archives on this onealso weird because ryu was the first one to come along and they definitely knew who *he* was and all of a sudden you'd see more chunli wishlisting
>>555432596>they're updating Strive to be "Version 2"that's exactly what am saying, they can't make a new game, because they know it will never follow up on Strive's success, so they're just updating the current game until they figure out what to do.
>>555432682There's a difference between wanting fighting game characters and knowing what's possible now. When Ryu got added to 4, people figured "oh, now Street Fighter characters can get in"Nobody was thinking that means add Terry, Sol, etc. Heihachi was on the list because Bandai Namco made the game. It says a lot Smashies thought he was more likely than Kazuya because that was the extent of their knowledgeAnd yeah, Metal Slug was brought up a lot more than KOF. That's because Smash is mostly an American fanbase. SNK had failed for 20 years to be relevant in America with Metal Slug mostly being a charming exception
>>555432875Monumental difference than the failure of trying to make a sequel that can play the same matches as the original game and eventually deciding they couldn't do that before outright killing the old game outright. If anything it's closer to what happened to DBFZ. We don't know how detrimental Version 2 could be to Strive, or maybe it makes the game somehow even more accessibleBut that also requires actually having a solid foundation of a game to build upon. Not like SNK had that, right?
>>555432932i can assure you sol was mentioned and in them dumb wishlist picsi wouldn't say he had heavy prevalance but he was def thereand why? because of animeterry didn't have that kind of cut, it was a temu sf seriesyou might not have liked anime, and a lot of you still don't or just like anime that's not as popular as them mainstream ones because a lot of you just straight spit on popular, but there are anime fan subsets in the smashfag fanbase as well and they were definitely there
you can hate street fighter 6 and call it slop as much as you want and I don't disagree, but everybody treated the fighting genre as dead niche, until capcom unlocked it's aaa potentioal. You're talking about a game that currently has half the playerbase of Battlefield 6 an online FPS game.
>>555433142That's nice and all, but it's not me that doesn't like anime, it's Smashfags don't like anime, they're scrimblo addicts. One or two nerds asking for Sol is a drop in the pan compared to K. Rool, Ridley, Simon, Banjo, Geno, etc. And if any fighting game nerd was asking for an SNK character they were asking for Kyo and Iori, Terry was irrelevant because his series had been dead for 15 fucking years, let alone the fact SNK gave up on game dev after KOFXIII was a massive flop. Meanwhile Sol got a new fucking game the same year 4 came out. You remember that?You're trying to play retroactive continuity without remembering what shit was like in 2015. They weren't on the radar because they weren't even playing the same game anymore
>>555433574>it's Smashfags don't like animethat is definitely not true, i've met plenty even in person who watched at least the popular stuffand i can't even say terry wasn't ever mentioned, i wasn't *everywhere*but his name was most likely hardly dropped in the bucket in the overall scheme of things except for people who either were diehard snk thanks to a nerd or liked the engrish memesi can tell you 10 years ago that i've seen sol mentioned on several occasions or in several of those meme wishlist pics before strive was even a thing, just in the overall picturebeing an anime fan is less rare than being an snk nerdand as for scrimblos, for which someone here didn't even know what scrimblo was when they decided to refer to some kof characters as one, since they moreso generally refer to cereal box like vidya mascot characters like banjo and the like of which a character like simon is not, there were definitely haters and backlash of the annoying scrimblos like banjofags, and they're the reason why we got that scrimblo bimblo meme in the first place, because of banjofags, and kroolfags by extension, because they genuinely were that fucking annoyingbut anyway, going back to this>One or two nerds asking for Sol is a drop in the panof course, that's just inherent of being into nintendo
Furthermore if you all wanna keep seething about ArcSys stealing SNK's thunder and attention, back to the KOFXIII topic, ArcSys never quit making video games for 5 years only to scrape up whatever funds and manpower they could to put out the shittiest looking fucking game imaginable like KOFXIV. ArcSys never left. They'd been working and putting out content ALL of the 2010s since the success of BlazBlue kicked them into full gear. BlazBlue dropping the same year as SFIV was a different time than now where Tekken 8 devoured Uni 2 for debuting the same WEEK. There was actual comradery in the FGC back then, and 2D fighting games were back after they had been killed off for 3D fighting games for almost a decade. BlazBlue outsold every single Guilty Gear release altogether. It was the lightning in a bottle that would lead to another captured lightning with Strive. But ArcSys never stopped or rested on their laurels, they produced fighting games all through out the 2010s. You had>BlazBlue>The return of Guilty Gear after GG2 killed the IP>Persona 4 ArenaAll culminating into the perfect "take that" to Capcom with Dragon Ball FighterZ utterly raping Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite. Meanwhile SNK cried like a bitch when KOFXII flopped, causing KOFXIII to flop because they released a "sequel" instead of the finished KOFXII. And when their epic comeback was KOFXIV, nobody was going to give them the time of day when ArcSys, Bamco and Netherrealms were putting out the best looking fighting games you've ever seen. SNK's last chance was SamSho, and they completely butchered that game the same way they butchered CotW. There's no hope for this company to be ArcSys tier, let alone Capcom or Bamco. They just can't. Shit, if Tokon and Strive V2 aren't successes, ARCSYS is screwed. This is their golden ageIf SNK wants a golden age they need to do better, no ands, ifs or buts. This abysmal focusing on a single fucking fighting game for 3 years is not it
>>555434387Refer to the previous point: SNK already left the picture by Smash 4. They weren't a video game company anymore, they were TRYING to shit out KOFXIV but had already damned their reputation to no longer being a player in the gameYou're comparing what was effectively not a video game company to a character who had a video game released the same year as Smash 4 and saying "it's because it's anime"No, it's because SNK itself was not in discussion. Konami stopped being in the discussion for the exact same shit. People were asking for Snake and Simon because Konami IPs are inherently more valuable, but also because Konami was leaving video games after Smash 4 had already been out. SNK had even less reputation in 2015 than they do nowIt's not about the zing factor or the anime or coolness. It's about the company politics that have always damned SNK itself. They do it to themselves. Always have and somehow always will, apparently
kys ArcTRANNYSys drone. snk can fuck up all they want atleast they're not woke unironically. I will take a thousand cotws over one strive.
>>555435024Nigger I hate Strive, I'm just saying the sad, sorry truth that SNK are just fuck ups that don't know how to take advantage of their situations like ArcSysThe girls are hotter too. SNK hasn't made a single good female newcomer worth a damn since the early 2000s
>>555434789>Refer to the previous point: SNK already left the picture by Smash 4practicality sake yes, technically no, kofxiii was released in 2010, steam version 2013, smash 4 2014, and they were announcing recruitment for 3d jobs at the time which led to us nerds speculating about kofxiv, all while snk was doing phone games, but the thing you'd be right about is that they didn't have the presence to matter during then other than three years at evo, which is more than xiv got at least>It's about the company politicswill give you that one, as a company who has an inflated sense of worth to act almost like the time they headass built a dimeless theme park, they need to realize where they actually stand and ain't no two vidya awards for a game that flopped gonna change that, it's definitely at least partially the fault of their attitudes the other part is employee talent and vision>>555435024your company bent the knee to a girl complaining about the word "horny" lmao

whats with the schizo making 100 posts overnight? just kill yourself already, you waste of oxygen
>>555472772Good to know I'm not missing anything not playing this game. Might as well for KOFXVI where they hypertune Mai to be top tier after completely tanking Fatal Fury's reputation permanently like this

>>555471606all me btweven your post is actually me
>>555427018It genuinely makes me butthurt how popular Mai is now because of Capcom/SF6. The vast majority of fan-art, porn, and other shit now is because of it. And not because of her own fucking games from her own damn franchises/company. To make things worse, SNK torpedoed the reputation of her home-franchise. Christ do I hate modern SNK, man. Actually just 80% malice for them at this point.
>>555411028>>555411085>>555411131>Kim>Yamazaki>Rick>Duck>Xiangfei(?)Those are probably the top 5 most popular characters not officially in yet, after that I think all bets are off because the remaining potential characters that just aren’t the leading AOF characters are all equally as irrelevant as each other
all these characters and kenshiro will be the one carrying all of them
>>555484051That's why I said that when Mai appeared in SF6, Oda should have stopped everything and told everyone that SNK needed to do the same thing (graphics and presentation) or surpass it in the next game, regardless of the cost. Because seeing another company do a much better job than yours (especially now that you have the budget for it) is an insane humiliation for the director. If Oda didn't feel anything, then he's a real piece of shit who doesn't deserve the position he holds at SNK.
....Algeria awards.
....Kim Jae Hooh
>>555485893crazy part is they likely really will put in a 3rd Kim because they’re trying to pad out the roster with as many safe picks as possible
>>555490159The ONLY way Snk could rise to the mainstream now is if Kenshiro was a predecessor to them making an entire Shounen jump fighting game. Bad graphics wouldn't even be much of a handicap given how people still bought Jump force by the millions.
>>555491013Dude they made Mai have close to zero sexual appeal in CotW. Of course he feels nothing.Current SNK doesn't "get it". Some people get it, and some people don't, SNK does not currently get it at the moment.
>>555495031I still think it's funny how they haven't addressed her costume at all. It would have been a great gesture to give it as a free gift for season 2. They just literally don't give a fuck.
>>555495031>>555495204Yeah. Anyone who worked at SNK in the 90s would take this personally and kick Oda out of SNK if they could.
>>555485893>Tung's last game is fucking KOFXIV instead of this shit because "muh Chinese protagonist"Fuck my chud life man
>>555495031The redesign was done by a woman so that really comes to no surprise. It's not bad, but not having the OG costume just makes SNK look more incompetent than a bad redesign could. Maybe they think they're ArcSys and that they can redesign characters to be "more appealing" to a general audience. Capcom knew they couldn't, all their redesigns are controversial so they include the OGs as alts
>>555497237The re-design isn't bad, we see how well it works in Street Fighter 6, and in the official artwork it looks sexy as hell.It's the actual character model that leaves much to be desired.
>>555497641The game's art style leaves much to be desired. It only hides its imperfections with cel shading instead of leaning into it. The character models can look good, but aren't presented well, or are a bit more malleable and mashed than some of the other characters. All in all it's a very haphazardly put together game even compared to KOFXV, which was gunning for the same stylized figures as KOFXIII but 3D instead. Didn't pull that off perfectly, but there was potential there. SNK struggles the most with texture and lighting, which is 90% of the work when it comes to making any 3D game look goodDespite this, Mai is clearly the best looking character in the game, so that says more about how the rest of the game looks
>>555497641>The re-design isn't badFor alt costume, yes.
>>555497641>>555498001SNK should return to sprites
>>555502440Yes
Real Bout Special/2 sprite style is still the best btw
Next Cotw guest
>>555502440>>555503071what is even making them not do it at this point? it could be a whole vision about bringing good sprite work to modern times and finally with some good direction revitalizing the company.
>>555512771Most of their remaining sprite artists haven't used it in a long time so they're probably washed
>>555512893Dark times...
I just suck conecting specials. I suck, simple as.
>>555410968Sol used to be cooler than Terry because he actually had an edge unlike Terry who's a charisma vacuum, no Sol is a boring nothing character just like pretty much everyone else in post-XX Guilty Gear.
>>555491013She has weird bug eyes in Suto 6.
>>555522957Terry lost his edge thanks to KOF sanding him down to being the funny American English Buster Wolf man. When SNK died in the 2000s, it killed Fatal Fury for good and what we have now is a skinwalker pretending to be a conclusion. But honestly, MotW is that too. The real Fatal Fury ended with Real BoutI'll admit Sol did have charisma in the first couple games, but XX is when that stopped with the shit ass I-No time travel plot thread. When GG stopped looking like a doujin fighter, it stopped being genuinely cool and only became commercially cool. Like how Dragon Ball Super doesn't even animate blood in its fight scenes anymore. These franchises just weren't meant to continue on for 30 years
>>555526756Look at the soul with the background snd different poses compared to the static boring cotw’s select screen. They weren’t taking inspiration obviously, they were just lazy with a shit taste
>>555526756>Terry lost his edge thanks to KOF sanding him down to being the funny American English Buster Wolf man.

What you guys don’t understand is that Japan as a whole lost its edge. Edge comes with your teenage years, but everyone there is a tired boomer who keep losing braincells with every year:
>>555529920That doesn't explain why modern shonen manga is cringe as fuck. It's not just youth, it's the people in charge forcing the youth to abide by dogshit rules that don't allow them to express themselves. We have such dogshit branding limitations holding back franchises because it might piss off Timmy or Shouta's moms. It's not "think of the children" it's "think of the parents who might get upset and not buy their children the $19 Fortnite Giftcard" and for what? Insular franchises from 30 years ago being puppeted like they're still alive when they're clearly corpses? We wouldn't have to put up with dogshit releases like this if copyright wasn't a thing in the current way that it is. A company can Ship of Theseus its dev team and still call works canon when none of the original creators working on that project aren't even there anymore. Treats shit like commodity, which leads to empty, soulless games like CotW

>>555088767Cathy from Top Hunter
>>555530391>That doesn't explain why modern shonen manga is cringe as fuckThey're bad because their sources of influence are other shonen manga like Naruto or HxH and not external sources, like how DBZ was mainly influenced by Sun Wukong, they're derivative works of other derivative works.
>>555543140Boomer mangaka were inspired by a plethora of things, the trickle down inspiration wouldn't be a big deal if the newer generation of mangaka actually experienced real lives, which in the last 20 years has been really fucking difficult to do due to the current systems in place only rewarding seniority over talent or potential, something REALLY common in JapanYou can take inspiration from bad shonen manga but also outside influences and concepts that would make it more unique than just doing inferior copies. But the newer generation is brainwashed on boomer media so they don't have the talent to make something actually unique. But it also goes back to my initial point after what you quoted: Old men in charge kicking the kids around and telling them what to do ALSO hurts creativityFor reference: JJK was only made into a school setting because the editor said they needed one. That wouldn't change the mangaka's innate lack of talent, but that also hurts any unique potential the manga could have had all for something "profitable"
>>555543536I disagree that it's mainly boomers telling zoomers what to do, zoomers themselves are low iq and close minded, it's not a Japan only thing, it's worldwide because the systems in place encourage being ignorant with the amount of slop and distractions they pump daily. You mentioned JJK, but JJK main problems weren't the school setting at all, it was entirely the author's choice in how things ended up post shibuya arc. KNY and JJK were selling millions of copies worldwide, unprecedented success for jump after the Big Three, yet they all ended prematurely not even reaching 300 chapters. The boomers are hand off mostly now, back in the 90s they used to slave mangaka, Toriyama only made the Majin Buu arc because he was forced to.

>>555549584Heh

Why is Hinako suddenly making me horny?
Even Highflop has a cute girl with good graphics and animation.What the hell is Oda doing with the oil money, bros?
>>555560534part of it is the people they hired to do a job they couldn't do expertlygranted, it's possible those are the only kinds of people that showed up to apply and interview, maybe that's all they could get as people want to work for reputable companies like nintendo, japanese have statistically said they would want to work for nintendo if anything so it's not just me saying shitsnk is just one of those super low tier companies and apparently they don't have any standards, and when you hire petz devs who have made barely any improvement whatsoever in the 10 years they've been working there, it would make sense to cut them loose, but who knows how desperate they are to have any employees at allat the same time they don't need all 400 of the people they have on staff, so it should be time to cut the dead weight and focus on developing the talents of those who actually not just have potential but want to improve themselves, as the potential for a horse to drink water being high the closer they are around water doesn't mean they're gonna drink it, which makes it pointless to have them around the water

What happened to "It will gain more players" anon from last thread? Hiding away like the rest of the cocksuckers everytime they're proven wrong?
>>555569296i'd hate to have him proven wrong by yours truly, afterall, i'm the resident schizo that posts 100s of posts overnight doomposting snk and all posts are all me btw
>>555447921How the fuck is it boring ? Maybe im spoiled by Cotw coming from sf6, but this game is hella fun. Is kof even more fun? Have I been living in capcoms prison keeping me from actually playing fun fighting games?
>>555568437
>>555567771You don't need a dishonest old post, the game already falling to prepatch numbers in less than a week is already a massive embarrassment. This probably means less than 1000 people among all platforms bought the season pass, I hope SNK considers that slopfest trailer to be worth it.
>>555572493The game is bad, so bad that most SNK fans aren't even interested in it.
You guys always pin the blame on some external shit like the trailer now, nobody was going to buy it even without the ai trailer.
>>555581651I was going to buy the pass until the trailer came out. It genuinely killed any hype I had for the patch and DLC.
>>555498001Mai, Andy, and Chun are the best models in the game by a significant margin. The others are okay to kind of off looking in little ways.
>snk should've done this and that for marketing>it's all because [insert company] and [insert eceleb name] fucked us over>it's never snk should've made a good game
>>555581817yeah just like how you niggas were all going to buy it if ganacci and ronaldo weren't in. you're a twitter a fag who's on a woke crusade you're not fooling anybody.
>>555581808It's just not exciting. Every trailer is structured the exact same - it looks cheap and lazy as hell. There's no cinematics or scenes to garner intrigue or anything. It just gameplay, EOST leveling, and then the finisher. You see one trailer you see them all. The AI trailer is the least of their worries. It just kind of makes you notice how hard they avoid doing any sort of actual cutscenes and instead just do slideshows. Definitely not something that says AAA product to broader audiences.
>>555582157Even cheap ass Chinese gachas can pump out some sick cinematics. What's SNK's excuse?
>>555581821Yeah it's kind of wild this is the first time they ever put any fucking effort into Andy. The best he's ever looked and it's a game nobody plays. Actual monkey's paw shit>>555582001Fighting games are innately not good and are fighting an uphill battle for attention. SNK wanted to cut the corners of making a real game by focusing on hype compslop and look where it got them, a dead revival in a sea of flourishing ones>>555582157Fucking lord THIS I've been bitching about the trailers not having ANYTHING worthwhile to show for over a year. After the CR7 announcement they completely stopped advertising the fucking game and all they do when they do advertise it is say that the game exists
>>555582146You dumb fucking 2 peso per post piece of shit, I had this shit preordered day 1. I didn't need to be paid by some desperate SNK marketing team to fake engagement on 4chan because I actually play this game, I'm the fucking perfect mark for SNK because I've been waiting for a new Fatal Fury for 20 goddamn years and all they had to do was not be the single grossest, most incompetent company on the planet for 1 fucking week.
doot dee doot dee doo who could have made these kinds of observations years ago doot dee doot dee doo i swear somebody was saying these exact same things doot dee doot dee doo~
E33 wasn't only financed by NetEase a party committee to CCP but was also exposed for using ai, yet nobody boycotted, because the product was just too good to miss on. Tell snk to do the same.
>>555582370>a dead revivalit's not a revival, that game in unrecognizable to any ff fan, it's a half motw sequel, and the other half is a kofxv comboslop playstyle.
>>555582565A broken clock is right twice a day. It's not "predicting" to be doomer, it's just crab behavior where you don't want other people to be happy. Problem is, SNK wasting their final opportunity to actually show the world what they're made of. It means that they no longer have any good will to rely on. CotW was the final burned bridge for anybody with standardsThe AI trailer and dogshit S2 is icing on the cake for all the shortcuts they tried to take to make Fatal Fury a big name again>>555582996Ergo a dead revival. They basically made sure the franchise remains in its grave for all time now
>>555582157>actual cutscenes and instead just do slideshowsYeah, aren't all the story cutscenes in the game just that too? not only this, but after 1 whole year, they learned nothing and resorted to ai. there's no drive to improve at all, will their next games also be slideshows and ai trailers?? it's fucking baffling how incompetent oda is.
>>555582157It's not just the trailers. The characters, the story, the presentation, everything is fucking disappointing. What idiot thought Jae Hoon was a good candidate for DLC?
>>555582326nigga, even ONE blender artist on patreon can pump sick sexy photorealistic models and cinematics
>>555583458What a waste of Tonko forcing her to draw these pseudo comic pictures. She had such fucking style in MotW
>>555583090>A broken clock is right twice a day. It's not "predicting" to be doomer, it's just crab behavior where you don't want other people to be happy.that's not my prerogative, that's your own assumption based on sourness from a company's failure and trying to externalize, just like when people blame capcom this or arctrannie that, you just saw me as a scapegoati only aim to make people unhappy if they decide they want to go to verbal war with me, and if you made that decision, i don't feel sorry for the unhappiness i wrought
>>555583458It's like taking something like Cowboy Bebop and turning it into some persona 4 social link bullshit.
>>555583458LMFAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAO is that an actual cutscene? wtf is wrong with them? You can tell that even the staff themselves don't particularly like it but feel obligated to do it because that's what the market demands a wholesome meme... the result is nobody is happy. Have they not realized that the most popular game this gen is Elden Ring, with all the fucked up and twisted shit you can think of.
>>555583859Said the person who thought CotW was a curiosity with its "extra game modes" that didn't amount to anything because the effort was somehow still less than their previous outings>>555584274tbf that's no different than how SF6 and Strive handles their cutscenes half the time. Fighting games just don't have serious stories anymore, it's been coffee shop AUs since 2020
>>555584387>tbf that's no different than how SF6 and Strive handles their cutscenesDifference is, those look good atleast. cotw doesn't look good nor interesting.
>>555584387>Said the person who thought CotW was a curiosity with its "extra game modes" that didn't amount to anything because the effort was somehow still less than their previous outingsif i ever said something like that, curiosity doesn't really mean anything in the positive or negative direction and if it didn't amount to anything, that's not really my fault? i'm not even sure how this is a response to me saying what i just said
be positive mates, all these fuck ups will work into making kof16 the best game they ever made

>>555604498there's almost nothing fresh to even look at, except like kenshiro, and i hate that kenshiro is gonna be tied to this because he is genuinely a cool choice that it almost makes me mad at the potential that people will pan him just because it's in a low effort or low talent produced game, whichever moreso applies

>>555611686No he doesn't don't lie, CotW isn't a looker but Andy is one of the bottom 5 models in the fucking game
i would argue that rock is one of the best models of the game, that i think whoever was working on him clearly had a bias for him and at least most of the rest they just winged it save for a couple othersand didn't really care for jenet and figured she'd get by with just her body alone like some queens of the stone age statue

>KOFHard, competitive, for pro players>SamshoMedium, competitive but also for fun, casual and pro players>HeroinesEasy, just for fun, casual playersIt was the perfect flow. 3 distinct fighting games that work perfectly together. They should have simply separated one team to continue updating the games with characters, stages, and balance patches, while the other focused on new IPs/different genres. SWC Prize? 1 million is enough. The rest goes to updates and new games. It would work like clockwork. But then Oda came and simply destroyed that flow, making the worst possible decision by creating COTW, throwing millions into a bottomless pit. Now we have a fighting game with horrible performance and zero (0) new games. Bravo. Just bravo.
>>555603563>>555614658Imagine bragging about spending your time sitting in the threads of, and constantly seething at something you don't like, as if it makes you look good/sane. Also, you're going to have to type in a different way if you want to samefag, ESL. You type in a very identifiable way.

I just hope the samsho rpg is real and they actually deliver, otherwise all my interest in this company will forever be gone.
>>555617860The SamSho RPG is about the fucking tengu prick from 2019, it's likely not going to achieve anything you can't get from other Nihongo culture inspired RPGs

>>555618514unfortunately, Nioh 3 will be like the forecast to tell us how this game will perform. if Nioh 3 flopped or sold mediocrely, it will tell us interest in Samurai RPG has dwindled due to market saturation, if it succeeds and sell millions it will either spark new interest in the genre, or atleast assure us that there's room for one more.

>>555622986Tf kinda autistic dance is that
awrooooo
5 ps3 games in one generation, amazing output
Page 10 again? Let me help.
only samsho doesnt look like a ps3 gameit should be rereleased asap
Personally I don't think games ever should have looked better than the PS3 era. So much budget gets wasted on photorealistic bullshit and everything ends up looking boring as shit. SNK should just focus on making shit look stylistic cool and appealing instead of following the photorealistic sludge.
maybe if snk was making something stylistic that'd mean something
>>555669329I don't know what you're talking about, it's just coated in actual textures and lighting, the models are no better than KOFXV or CotW if you pull them out of the game. That's part of why SNK's games get shit on because they only managed to hide their incompetence for one game out of five>>555670059They need to actually lean into stylization for that. Just halfassing cel-shading does not a comic book style makes. CotW improves on KOFXV's model quality but fails basic checks just as badly. That's how you get idiots in this thread saying All-Star "looked better" while posting jaggies. Nobody has a fucking sense of art style. Strive's dull color pallet sucks but it nails basically everything you faggots want or ask forI'd like if SNK strays from trying to chase realism too, Capcom's games are genuinely less exciting when everything is RE Engine slop. It's starting to snuff their Golden Goose, MonHun
>>555622986>>555665610Holy Leona's Lesbo Lickings
>>555626030>>555655928I think we need to be a little fair and start counting the games after the deal with the Saudi prince (2023). We're in 2026 and they've only delivered one game (another fighting game). They said there are two more in development: Aof (another fighting game) and Samurai RPG (supposedly AAA title). Neither of them will be released this year. This means we'll be stuck with Cotw all year, maybe to get Aof in Q3/4 2027 and Samurai RPG in 2028. After that, there will only be 5 years left until 2033 (the deadline for SNK to be AAA). So, in my view, if Samsho RPG fails, then it's over.
>>555670971Damn, AI is getting scary.
>>555671185>if Samsho RPG fails, then it's overoda is 100% making a last blade, if that one fails then it will be truly over
>>555671379With no lolis? Say goodbye then.
Schizo was right. SNK already had enough fighting games. They don't need to create more. They need new IPs, new blood.
>>555671379>oda is 100% making a last blade>oda doing to Last Blade what he's done to MoTWNOOOOOO PLEASE GOD NO I DONT WANT THIS PLEASE I'D RATHER IT STAY DEAD DONT LET THAT FAGGOT PUT HIS HANDS ON MY KAEDA'S STORY
Get ready for.... Nightmare Geese next month....
yay for having disc locked content sold to you, what a steal!
>>555671985sorry shogun. get ready for last blade's masterful atmosphere and effective storytelling to get watered down into coffee shop au fanfic bullshit.
I really don't understand Oda's mindset. KoF15 was doing well. All the characters from Cotw could have been added to KoF15 without any problems. So why create a new Fatal Fury if it's not going to add ring outs and a lane system to justify a new fighting game? Does Oda really need to kill KoF15 and spend millions to finish the story in fucking PowerPoint(?), Jesus...There's no way to defend this.
>>555672772FUCK YOU ODA FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU
>>555672248The price of technology + capitalism
>>555673620all this recycling just to flex invalid numbers of dlc characters compared to the top mainstream fg like that's going to raise the real important numbers
Likely Oda will actually go through on what he said about rebooting the last blade. the melancholy and tragedy is too deeply ingrained into the series soul and we can see he avoids touching on that sort of stuff like the plague. So yeah reboot will probably be the way for him to go so he can do what he wants with the story and characters.https://x.com/okm181/status/2016709180812620001

Why is it so difficult for SNK to outsource their games? Even RE3 remake was done by another company, not Capcom. They have the money now. There are no excuses for soulless PS2 graphics.
>>555677967they need the money to advertise dlc season 2 at this year's wrestlemania
>>555678049And pay 5 million to GO1
>>5556789833 years of support!...for go1's lifestyle!
>>555673058Is KOF15 still being updated? Or did KOF15 end and CotW was to replace it?!?
to be frank I don't think there's anything that makes TLB more special than SamSho, unless you guys can convince me otherwise. it's what aof is to ff.
>>555681974CotW fucking replaced it cause it's the same dev team. S2 was intended to be the "fanservice" season and they killed support immediately after Hinako. People demanding more content for KOFXV got a skeleton crew of KOF Studio to shit out the Mature/Vice DLC while the main guys were working on CotW. Don't know how Mature/Vice still look better than CotW as a whole but whatever
>>555678983*laggia
>COTW so irrelevant FFXVIII isn't even bothering to stream poolsgrim
>>555705512Nothing of value has been lost.
>>555705512What does Final Fantasy have to do with Cotw?
kek frosty fuckshit so irrelevant nobody cares to remember its existence except x fgg nerdsthe x meaning something else besides cross
What stream for Kof15?
>>555706468Relevant enough that SNK is running ads on it.
>>555707582nvm just found it
>>555707582lowkickesports, top 8 only in just under 3 hours
>>555707719Oh kek it's not frosty
>>555707869Thanks. I was watching one called Shodown League.
>>555707672>Relevant enough that SNKlook at what you're saying here
>>555708229Lol
seriously though snk is not any benchmark of relevanceyou could slap an snk logo on taylor swift in the middle of a concert and people would start wondering who the fuck that bitch singing on stage is
>>555710820anon-san you haveu given Oda a truly sugoi idea for a season suree promo
>>555711107but wait there's morecheck this shitimagine superman here was tossing not his superman logo but an snk logo at the guyand then when it makes contact it traps the guy up in a shrinkwrap vortex up irrelevance
>>555711271vortex of*
>>555674720I mean, they did give season 1 for free
>page 10Holy shit, Snk. If the maximum were page 20, we would reach that as well.
>>555718256>They gave away characters that should have been base game and Street Fighter characters for free>Now they expect you to pay $20 for Kenshiro and more characters that should have been base gameAbsolute fucking state of this game

set oda on fire, actually
*ahem*This is how you save your pathetic company from irrelevance and complete oblivion. Take fucking notes, SNK. and thanks me later, Oda. You piece of shit.
KoF15 top8 in lowkickesports right now.
My God. It's the first match and it's already miles better than watching Cotw. Oda and anyone else responsible for the decision to end KoF and focus on Cotw should be fired immediately.
So this Frosty Fausting gives point to the world cup i guess. Pretty good top 8.
oh no no no no no cotwbros.....
How to save SNK:>Fire Oda>Kill Cotw after Kenshiro>Release KoF15 Ultimate as F2P>New interface, menus, costumes and everything else>Add smart style and extra modes>Complete the boss Challenger with all the bosses (duh)>Team USA, Last Blade and Maximum Impact >Add all the characters and stages from Cotw to KoF15 (imagine Oda's face lol)>Keep updating the game until it reaches 100 characters because fuck you, I want Shion, May Lee and Momoko>?????>PROFIT!
>>555725851I love her
>>555731779Mars People? You sick fuck!
So Ryo started as anchor 4 years ago and now he is a battery.Funny how the meta changes with the years.
>>555732705Do you know what hasn't changed in 4 years? Our resident schizo.
Nice match. Top 8 so far so good.
you know something that hasn't changed in 4 gamessnk employee skills
Is it just me, or did COTW make people appreciate KOFXV more and hate it less?
>>555734160Same thing will happen when AOF4 comes out. It's dire.
>>555734051Hi, schizo.
>>555734542welcome back discordgroomer
>>555734798Yeah. I love this shit hole.
>>555734160It really goes to show people really don't know what they have until it's gone
>samefag goes mentalOk. Back to top8
>Michael Max
all me btw
Nice perfect
Hey, not sure if this is the best place to ask a question like this but I've been playing real bout special and I keep messing up power geyser when I'm facing right but I can get it down perfectly when facing right. Any ideas as to why?
Holy shit this last match. KoF15 so hypeKyo won
Power gayser
MOK worst enemy is himself.:(
>>555736510You typed "facing right" twice. But whichever side you have difficulty with, you should practice in training mode, bro. Or, try moving to whichever side is easier for you during the match. That's all I can tell you.
>this general is now AI slop
>kevin nash style
>>555731883Tentacles are cool af
>>555736510Search for "shortcuts" for the move. or just buy a cheatbox lol
>>555738554Puta....
>spending 3 bars when you can kill with 2
>>555731676>>555734160Why can't SNK have two games out at the same time? Put B-team on KOFXV and A-team on Cotw.
>>555741525they need the 380 other employees to go do police calls outside the buildingpickin up all them cigarette butts and gum wrappers
magic pixel
Meximutt got rekt love to see it
I’m genuinely surprised how cotw is more of a comboslop than kofxv, how did they think two games playing the same way and not looking much different was a good idea. You can call that a schizo, but it seems to oda kof’s gameplay was perfect and what held it back was the ip and the 3 characters, so he said yes lets replace it with ff.
Looks like another easy money for ET
ET a beast.
>KoF15 is over. Next is Cotw Time to sleep. GN guys.
Is the sax part of the music playing on the stream different from the in game one? It sounds completely different.
Lokof has beaten MOK in 2 different games in less than an hour.I thought the jappas would train among themselves, that MOK would be better prepared against Marco because of Go1.
>>555677967>They have the money nowI think they don't. Saudi money isn't an infinite pit
>le saudi bad when the entire west is now confirmed to be run by pedophiles LOOOOOOOOOOOL
we don't care rajeesh go back to your dunes
>>555744530Are those pants?
>>555741525SNK, please be better.
>>555760502>4 millions in prizes for SWC>x2 SWC = 8 millions Now tell me how the hell they're going to keep this going every year releasing only PS2 flops every 2 years? The math just won't add up. If SNK/Oda feels comfortable giving that amount in prizes, then they have at least 10 times more for game development. I mean, anyone who spends 4 million on prizes, logically, must have at least 40 million available for development. There's no way someone could do that (4 million plus the cost of the entire event) x2 and have less than 20 million in total. They can't keep SWC going every year with less. Only if the person is completely retarded and delusional enough to think their PS2 games will cover the prize costs. Oh, no...
max played the game did anyone care to watch?
