Can we talk about how SNK are such LIARS? This is in-reference to the "listening to the fans" comment made in a recent interview. Like how they finally made Geese playable and acting like that's such a big thing. As if he wasn't already 90% complete, and that people weren't wanting him to be playable since launch. And if SNK were actually listening to the fans like they pretend they do, COTW(and previously KOF 15) would have a lot of alternate costumes, instead of the few 4/5 they have now with 99% of them being only happening in the first place because of a collab. Mai still doesn't even have her classic outfit, and you know that's like in the top 3 things fans have wanted. She has it in Street Fighter, but not her own damn game. Even has a 3rd costume there at that. Rev Blow which is something no-one actually likes, cares for, and is also 99% in the top 3 of things people want a change for, hasn't been touched once. Not even a Rev Gauge increase for usage. This company is just full of robotic, soulless, lying psychopaths.

>>559102342They only listen to Maximilian, ET, and Xiaohai.First guy's responsible for homogenized inputas and general dumbing down (then claiming he isn't). Other guys are responsible for the games all leaning toward rushdown slop at higher levels, and probably for SS7 having guard breaks and nerfed weapon flips later on.
>>559123031AI made them paranoid. Don't blame the person for being extra paranoid about something directly affecting them. Blame lazy low IQ retards and the use of AI. But yeah, that wasn't AI.
What's the most "brawler"-like character or the character that needs the least amount of thinking?I suck at remembering long combos. So far I'm playing Chun Li but coming from old school Street Fighter, I'm mainly playing her like it's 3rd Strike. (mostly normals, spacing and hit confirms)

https://snk-corp.co.jp/official/fatalfury-cotw/usagerate/group_total/usage-t.phpCan't think of a worse addition to a Fighting Game than these guys. Absolutely no-one likes nor plays Ball-Kick Man, and DJ Literally Who. Angered the fans and snubbed characters people actually wanted for nothing.
>>559265310all killer no filler!
>>559265310>Ronaldo is actually good, guys!He's not a rushdown comboslop character in the system mechanics game. No amount of "getting good" with Ronaldo is actually going to show results because not enough people play the game to take advantage of its roster beyond what's easyWonderful fucking game, advertise it as "hard" and yet people pick the characters you barely put any effort into
>>559265310I suck at Geese but absolutely mow people with Ronaldo, so ill stick with Ball man
>>559268145ronaldo is one of the more mechanically interesting characters from a company that barely every makes any mechanically interesting characters, they're all straightforward for the most part and the only changeup is in frame data effecting your neutral and setups
>>559269516As if this game cares about mechanics
>>559276910well it has all them references to gears and revving like vehiclesso i guess it hates mechanics because it doesn't want to be maintained or repaired

>>559279741don't give them bad ideas
>>559265310I like Ganucci's stage and music the most, but that's it. In 10 months, I don't think I've picked him or Ronaldo even once.

>>559368704nobody cares about freiren tranny. maomao clears this hag.
>>559370836Finally a fucking good take in this thread and it's not even on-topic
>>559370836that's rich, talking about what people don't care about in an snk thread
Look at how hard ArcSys is MOGGING SNK with 3 different games. Two that's been out for years, and one that's not even out yet. Like no-one can even cope and pretend they haven't surpassed SNK immensely this past decade. SNK should be the next one to commission ArcSys to make a game for them. Like a new Samsho. It'll be the first SNK Fighting Game in forever to actually be a big success.
you have to explain why we should care
is there a way to explain why anyone should care (about snk games) lmao
>>559377558ArcSys actually practiced making games during the 2010s while SNK shat out slop like KOFXIII and KOFXIV. SNK still in their Cross Tag Battle phase at best and their Xrd Sign phase at worst. They honestly aren't even fucking trying to put themselves out there. Their marketing has just failed on every conceivable level
im having problems against geese...
mai's og outfit probably coming in the next update.
>>559381172>create your ultimate fighterwhat? you don't even have a cac
>>559377558SNK shouldn't have let KOFXV die; at least have on maintenance mode with waaaaaaaaay less updates. FF:CotW isn't good enuff to be the only game in SNK's town.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcRTaewQLqo
>>559381172Is Terry classic outfit available as regular dlc?
>>559378761And yet nothing of that age stands today.Arcsys success history is 100% related to dragon ball and dumbing down Strive with anime artstyle for normies.
>>559377558>Like a new SamshoA new The Last Blade is an instabuy for me
>>559402996and five other people
>>559369247built for kaeda cock.
>>559378761Oda is so grateful for Capcom allowing him Ken and Chun, that he's purposefully fucking up, to show Capcom he's no threat. I'm assuming Oda looks up to and worships Capcom. Why else would he add stuff from SF6.
>>559369413It's the best fighting game out by default, because everything else is so shit. I do like it, but they're never gonna fix the Rev scrubbery until the final season. And even then, they might make it even scrubbier, like they did with Sam Sho.
snk's "success" is 100% related to piracy and going bankrupt and getting bought out by various countries
Why did they give ken and chun 50 command normals instead of making like half of them proximity normals?

Nice clipping
Why is a Street Fighter collab stage part of season 2 dlc? Just make a spin off street fighter game at this point if you can’t sell your products on your own. Probably the next kof will have all the characters in a Street Fighter cosplay skins. I’ve never seen devs with no dignity like that.
>>559437263I like the stage. Problem comes from putting more effort into the crossovers and guests than the base.
>>559423053Short answer: SF6 has no proximity normals.Long answer: retards in the FGC said they were too confusing, so Capcom removed them from SFV. And now, because the FGC shills defended V, SF6 is the same. And SNK wanted to make possible SF6 players comfortable.
They should go back to having Leona's giant boobies locked behind her top
>>559439739Imagine the smell of these pixels
>>559402996The Last Blade is MotW, except the characters are good.
>>559439739the GAYmen industry is too GAY to make Leona into a thick latina with bunda and bouncy ippai.
>>559439308And there’s already a SF game available…. It’s no longer stupidly but borderline mental illness.
>>559439613I feel like having f and df command normals on every button is more annoying for casuals/intermediates than proximity normals are. It just seems like SNK overthought it. SF losing proximity normals isn't as big of a deal since it has two extra buttons.
>No SNK stuff for SF6 announced today>Yet SNK is shoving Street Fighter shit in COTW with more effort than they've been putting in for their own stuffSad. Just confirmation that the collab is mostly just for SNK to get a boost. It looks pathetic that SNK has to leech off of Capcom/Street Fighter.
>>559429861the whole game has clipping. hokutomaru's arm and scarf clip on his win screen. kain's hair clips in supers. terry, despite being the main character, has hair that clips into his oversized jacket collar constantly. the game is atrocious to look at
>>559440259Cute autists
>>559440259What a cute autistic couple
>>559448010cotw chads get blue mary and new stage this month. :)
>>559439739Only if she gets her bubble butt back to compensate
SNK needs to make this picture into a game.
>sakura
>>559448010>Yet SNK is shoving Street Fighter shit in COTW with more effort than they've been putting in for their own stuffthey're really just catching up with the effort that capcom had already given from the start
>>559473429Putting effort into shit you don't own and making the shit you do own look worse in comparison is just going to make the game as a whole look worse. Capcom put nearly zero effort into the SNK DLC which only looks better than what SNK is doing because their zero effort is infinitely higher than anything CotW has gotten
Mai looks better than every female in SF6 for a reason, retard.
Capcom just released RE9 the best game of this generation and this nigga calls alternative skins and a stage "catching up to capcom" lmfao
>>559474368>Capcom put nearly zero effort into the SNK DLCahahahaha ok>>559474491except i wasn't talking about catching up to capcom in whole, i was talking about between the fighting games in terms of conteyou know what you do you
>>559474717If you think Capcom made SNK look good with the SF6 DLC, then you actually don't like SNK characters to begin with. Especially reinventing Mai to be a "top tier threat" by gentrifying her kit into Drive Rush comboslop. This isn't to put up SNK, it's to put down the fact Capcom doesn't give a shit about SF6 as anything other than a brand that exists solely to be their fighting game division and nothing else. I can't wait for Alex's honeymoon phase to be over and for him to settle as midtier because lord forbid a grappler ever be good
>>559474368>Capcom put nearly zero effort into the SNKActually, that's wrong. Terry and Mai got a ton of love. World Tour cutscenes, costumes, there's Fatal Fury stickers, etcetera. The other anon is right in that SNK has about equaled what Capcom already did at the start.
>>559475240>If you think Capcom made SNK look good with the SF6 DLCthat's not a matter of effort, that's a matter of design choices made, and whatever choices they made, they worked with it, but it is not zero efforteffort is not synonymous with whether or not you think it put snk over, and on that same token, high effort does not beget how much credit i should give it, especially if they put in more effort than the result should have really required, which is as the ol' southern saying goes, going around one's ass to get to their elbowand i mean real southern like 'bama 'n 'ginia, not sudacas
>>559475745Anon that's LITERALLY what World Tour is, except none of that shit actually adds anything to its roster. If "love" is having the actual bare minimum of what the rest your roster is presented as, then it's no wonder SF6 is shitting all over the competition
>>559476794>is having the actual bare minimumoh you mean like snk's games rnor are you gonna try and convince us that snk actually puts real effort here in some turn of events
>>559476892No retard, because SNK putting less effort is part of why fighting games as a whole are so fucking dogshit in the first place. Most games don't want to BEAT Street Fighter they want to BE Street Fighter. They model themselves so heavily off of it with zero reason to want to play and that's how we get into a position where Street Fighter is heavily carrying tournaments
i thought these shortbread pecan cookies would be more soft and chewable>>559477234>because SNK putting less effort is part of why fighting games as a whole are so fucking dogshit in the first placeuh huh, i mean yeah, duh, it's a part, but i mean, there's many parts to that that aren't snk if you want to phrase it like that, it almost seems kinda meaningless to even express it in the endproblem is the core argument started when i said that snk was really just catching up to capcom in terms of content between cotw and snk crossover dlcs, albthoeit someone taking it as being about snk wholesale vs capcom wholesale, which it's not, snk's clearly dwarved therebut the response of "Capcom put nearly zero effort into the SNK DLC" is what i'm really attacking, that's wrong no matter how you try to frame it, to which a statement about bare minimum was made, it's kind of hypocritical because now like, when capcom does something outside the fighting game mode parts, it's "bare minimum" but when snk does it, it's so bonusifieddouble standards are not just a stream in paraguay
this is gonna be my analogy for the day since effort is the prime topic of discussionsnk is that guy who uses a regular wrench to tight a nut at a corner and has to constantly move the wrench into the starting position to rotate the nut some more, and they don't know any better and think it's the only way to do accomplish the taskother companies have found out you can use a socket wrench with an adapter
>>559477751I'm not even arguing about SNK at this point because I'm sick of their shit, I'm just arguing that the standards are still extremely low in general because Capcom being the gold standard with something like SF6 is completely ridiculous to me. No other genre is as poorly managed as fighting games are. You see it with devs or suits funding these games absolutely fucking baffled at how low player counts. Other live service genres can produce over thousands, if not 10 thousands of players per game and Capcom is the ONLY developer that's managing success? ArcSys is close but they're running like 3 games with half the success of SF6 which is pitifulI'm only here to see if SNK shit gets leaked at this point because that's a better way to get news than following official Twitters or anything. I stopped playing this fucking game months ago because literally no one I know is interested in it, so I have zero reason to play a game that can't even meet the bare minimum I'm complaining about with Capcom, which was my point in the first place. Grass isn't greener, it's dying everywhere and this dev just hasn't had grass in decades
>>559478543>I'm just arguing that the standards are still extremely low in general because Capcom being the gold standard with something like SF6 is completely ridiculous to mesee, when i see statements like this, it just tells me that you're trying to blame capcom here for snk's failuressnk fails because snk fails, capcom really doesn't factor into the equation in snk failingsnk failed when blazblue came, because snk failed to have a more attractive product, and it's always gonna be that way until snk gets better talent and sense of aesthetics and can pump out a generally more attractive product, that's always gonna be snk, and seeing who works there, especially the whities, i don't feel like i can trust anyone at snk to do betterbut that's not on capcom to enforce or reinforce that

>>559479157I'm not blaming Capcom for SNK's failures, I'm blaming everyone for thinking Capcom is what they should be emulating in the first place. But you're reading my words as that I'm deflecting SNK's failures to Capcom because I have a vendetta against them. I don't, I'm upset that there is no variety in the fighting game space because every other company just wants to be Capcom with half the effort, and it makes them all look like embarrassing retards. SNK especially is prone to this because they think they can do what Capcom is doing. Capcom has a lot more money to burn because they make real video games people actually want to buy and play so SF can relish in that and have this AAA production. SNK is trying to treat CotW as SF6 but also believes that's where the money is coming from in the first place. It's bonkersArcSys may be a success right now, but they're a fraction of Capcom simply because fighting games, in the way developers are "supposed" to make them, are just an unprofitable and unpopular genre. The player counts for even the fighting games people ACTUALLY play reflect this fact
>>559478543You not having friends to play with isn't completely SNK's fault. It's partially theirs for not making a better game, but also on your friends for not really liking fgs as much as you do. I'll agree that standards plummeted all over, but that's another topic I can't be bothered to discuss for the 378796867th time online.
>>559495234Yep lol. You can see Capcom succeeding DESPITE making bad decisions, the FGC shilling it, then SNK copying all the dumb parts, due to those shills, and Capcom coasting on the brand. Crazy what confusion and layers of bullshit social media helped create when you think about it.Back before all that, devs lived or died on quality. Now, there are too many leeches, liars, bad actors, and plain parasocial schizos to sift through. Still, it's all down to SNK not knowing how to make a classic, despite the genre supposedly being their main thing. That's like a clothes maker constantly fumbling basic clothes designs, seeing some huge rich big brand across the street get success with bad clothes, then thinking the secret to success is making terrible clothes, not the appearance and brand behind it.

It's amazing how COTW only came out 10 and a half months ago, yet it feels like it's already been 4 years with the amount of stuff that happened. It makes me really wonder what the next 2/3 years for the game and SNK is gonna be like.
>>559525524>It makes me really wonder what the next 2/3 years for the game and SNK is gonna be like.the same as it was for the past several years
>>559519164guess what will be the next shit topic
>>559525524Welp, you won't have to wait long. They made it sound like Season 3 (and the final updates) is starting in July.
>>559540750Cute puta
>>559540759There were about 50 characters originally planned, including the base roster in that. You can tell if you go to color edit and count the exact spaces. Whether or not it happens is another subject.
>>559563326Slots aren't really planned to be filled, they're just implemented so that they don't run out of space and would need to implement more slots within a certain time frame. Up to Season 3, if it's also another 6 character slot season, would only put CotW up to 34 characters, which is barely like 3/5s of that slot limit. Maybe if the game was a roaring success like they thought it would be we'd see them needing to update the game by 2028, but them rushing DLC in 2026 really doesn't come across like this game will manage to reach its 3 years of support goal. A Season 4 would only be 40 characters tops and that's IF they can manage to fill out with older Fatal Fury characters or grab more collabs pretending that'll help them at this point. It would take until a Season 6 to max out 50 slots, so there's reason to believe they'll be done by the end of this year and maybe, MAYBE a smaller Season 4 if they still feel like burning money like how they just slapped Mature and Vice into KOFXV

>>559602508The problem is that $44 million is a big number, snk is only getting away with the swc bullshit because the Saudis have a separate funding program for Esports. Meaning they will have to fund it out of their own pockets, otherwise a meeting with your owners after a flop to ask for more money will just get the eyes on you potentially leading to shut down.I still think it’s worth it but the issue games like this can’t be carried by nostalgia or famous devs even an 8/10 game won’t convince normalfags, just like Ninja Gaiden 4 it flopped. Gang of Dragon must be a 9.5/10 masterpiece to sell millions otherwise it’s a negative investment.

Mai Shiranui fucks boys half her age.
>>559609243You get long combos with special cancels how is that like 98
What happened to Geese hype?
>>559595197Deductive reasoning>SNK says "3 years of content!">3 seasons of DLC clearly planned in dataminesSNK seems confident that they will finish all the currently worked on characters (so stuff like Mary, Krauser, Rick, Alfred, Duck, Kasumi, etc.). Which given Season 2 this year is half of the year and not the full year, I'm willing to believe now, but unless either SNK got smarter about not letting their shit get datamined (doubt) or they drop support of the game after this year (likely, but not a given) we won't have any proof of them either reaching 50 characters or not. At a pace of a character every month, that would leave us starting after Krauser, this game's 1 year anniversary:>Kenshiro and Ryo for the rest of S2 by Summer (28)>Being generous and letting them pump out 1 DLC per month for S3 leads us up to December (34)>2027 S4 DLC (40)>2027 S5 DLC (46)Then 4 more characters for the third year anniversary to hit 50. The real question is, do you trust SNK of all developers to reach this number on this game? This is giving them the benefit of the doubt and managing 1 character per month like they're doing right now, if they cut this number down by half and go back to 2 month DLC development, then the game's DLC number drops significantly and we only get 11 characters instead of the 22 needed to fill the slots we were talking aboutFurthermore, KOFXV still has empty slots because they ceased development of that game, which was my initial point that not every index slot will be used because it's simply for future proofing, not necessarily filling out. This is so they don't run out of space unnecessarily by setting the number high enough that you won't reasonably run out of room when developing a game
>>559613127>Gang of Dragon must be a 9.5/10 masterpiece to sell millions otherwise it’s a negative investment.In other words, it needs to have the Capcom logo and the name Resident Evil on it. Forget it.
SNK has the best women (and Shion) in fighting games. Some of the best men too.It's a shame people who aren't already SNK fans only know Terry from Smash and Mai from SF6.
How would YOU do the NESTS Saga?I, for one, would at least include Chizuru in it.
>>559634858Ryo is gay
>>559470730
>>559636612He canonically has fucked 3 women.
>>559583101Nah he had it right the first time.
the first time shermie ever said "i-it's too big!" was when she was with kaedAand that night she screamed so loud nearby kungfu masters thought someone was a master of the lions roar technique in kung fu hustle
>>559629349Capcom makes good games though that’s why it earned the brand reputation. You niggas forgot about the RE6 days and how they were on the verge of bankruptcy.
SHADOW X lost pressing against Mai.
>Geese sometimes says "Come on yellow belly" when you select him in COTWWhatever you say about the developers of the game, you can't say they weren't fans of the old games
>>559660001yeah but it's just geese, i want to see something more of a deeper cut
>>559657845
>>559661198>doesn't know the lions roar techniquesounds like you need a trip to the kung fu hustle factory! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iT8xt6XDs_U
>>559623775People gave the game a chance, they still didn’t like it. It’s simple.
>>559663441this, what makes anyone think that a character from snk, one that we've already seen a million times in the past decade no less, even recently in kofxv, is going to be meaningful enough of an addition, especially since his assets were already in the game to begin withwhere are these people forming their logic from, clown school? lol
>>559623775>>559663441With a peak of less than 10K during the betas, and a peak of less than 5K at launch, there's still an untapped audience out there to give the game a chance. The monthly character release is oddly feeding the playerbase with consistent numbers.
>>559665082people LOOKED at the game all over and didn't want to give it a chanceyou really think they're gonna come around and enjoy it lol reaching for straws here
World tour got cancelled. I guess its over. Can't imagine it'll end there.
>>559673163t-three years, c-chud
>>559625361>SNK saysThat's your first mistake. lmfao.
>>559540759Krauser's head's too small. He's got XV Ryo syndrome. Other than that, he looks based.
>>559679548I can prove you didn't even read my post because it was genuinely disregarding SNK's abilities based on what they said rather than whatever the fuck you assumed I said
came around your ass to get to your elbow
>>559625361>The real question is, do you trust SNK of all developers to reach this number on this game? For those who saw the boss challenge screen in KOF15, this is no longer a question.
>>559602508why would they fund a useless bitch who couldn't finish his game in 5 years and still asking for 44 million dollars?
>>559659015Good games, yes. But also incredibly overrated today. RE6 sold millions despite all the hate and RE Requiem is, at best, 8.5 not 9.5
What new IPs can SNK create to capture the new zoomer market?
What are your opinions on this character?
>>559713448Better than Temu Tetsuo (K9999), though, they could have picked a better name than Krohnen McDouglas.
Invest in creating new indie-style IPs? We'll see how well that works soon enough...
SNK should try to get that TV audience to make a name for themselves once more. I'm sure a Last Blade or Psycho Soldier anime will be popular if they strike the right chords.
>>559717218What? This is from Snk?
My indie game will save SNK
>>559723696Nah, it's the newest game from ArcSys.
>>559724278kek what tf
>>559692598I agree but it could still be good, it’s why internal reviews matter. He probably wasted the budget on licenses and technical know hows since they’re a new studio. It’s what prompted konami to kick kojima after mgsv.Anyway if the game is good they could have an upcoming new studio that rivals other aaa studios even if nagoshi ends up leaving just like rgg.
>>559692598Because that's a retarded thing to do. And /neog/ loves calling Oda retarded, so it's the perfect time.
When's the next SNK update?
Remake soon, bros. Trust the plan.
Rare Mian fanart
>>559665082>there's still an untapped audience out there to give the game a chanceI think they should've started with the 2 mystery guest characters first.
>>559665082It's pretty clear that the people who wanted to try out the game while it's being supported have done so by now. COTW will never recover PR wise during it's entire lifespan.
>>559717218Everyone made fun of this when it got revealed months ago. It looks like an early 2010s mobile game
plenty say the same of snk's modern games
Dykes will save SNK
Yessirski.
>>559765492As if they know what the fuck is a SNK. Tons of fine girls of all kinds and flavors across the years, and the only one people know outside of the FGC bubble is Mai from SF6.
>>559751954Noice Mian. It was a good team with great potential. Too bad Oda is the director.
>>559767180Nice. He should have started last year thought, for the cashprices but it's not too late
>>559767180>a "please like this game" post
>>559780352eehh, it just doesn't hit the same without xiv andy
>>559779989Yes but what is he supposed to say? He likes the game and he says why
>>559780352Nah Kof14 Andy is the best version.edit: What the fuck. I couldn't find the version that only had Andy in it.
>>559783053cuz you didn't look hard enough
>>559784121
>>559602508The days of the Unassuming "he's just like us!" Shills are under more scrutiny than ever. Though mostly still retarded, even the faggots in the FGC have slowly started to turn on people like Sajam and Max. Paying an influencer to shill an obviously non-AAA game with controversy already surrounding it, makes its rep worse. Look at the iShowSpeed and KSI stuff SNK tried. Doesn't work.If you don't have brand worship, you gotta have the right shills at the right time with an actual good looking, fun game. You essentially have to be close to perfect while the top brand pumps out mediocrity, to get half the sales and attention. I don't make the rules, that's just how people are. Having a huge brand is like being hot. The ugly kid has to be twice as talented to get praise. The hot girl gets in on easy mode.
who could have made an analogy about other companies being 6-7 figure-earning office workers while snk is working two wagie jobs i wonder..........hmmmMMMmmmm.....
>>559783053>>559784121>>559784239https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7742ylgcGgandy in a tekken game would actually go hard, give him a mix of his theme from wild ambition and he fits right in.
>>559786631he already fits right into that image
>>559780492That's true, but you can't deny that Chizuru's model is pretty ugly too.
>>559780660Anyone can like anything when their bank account goes up #FatalFury #ad
PS2-era 3D graphics were always in a sweet spot for me. While the animations always felt lacking to me, the actual graphics/rendering for the Maximum Impact games still hold up. (Didn't realize so many characters had alt costumes in MI2. Why don't you do this now, SNK? LMAO)
>>559806993The alt costumes in MI2 were nice
>>559806993Cute ass, Ash.
>page 10
I want to draw kof girls but conjoined.
>>559784239>>559784121Funny, Tekken 2 doesn't even look that good. That's the CG. And that Tekken 2 CG looks better than Tekken 3's graphics, which are worse than KOF XIV's, yet Tekken 3 is better than KOF XIV, and most fgs, to be fair.
>>559834408Just use AI at this point.I know it seems AI slop but I made it in 2 minutes. Try that "drawing".
sloppa time?
Still waiting for SNK news...
SNK should make a new futuristic fighting game IP. Featuring Rebecca and Lucy as guests.
will last blade 3 or remake or whatever oda's planning have guest characters?
it should be another female brat to combi with photorealistic akari
>>559849910Yes, it'll have SNK's #1 fans Max Dood and Sajam as guests.
you guys should do some papercraft models of kof girls for fun.
lets not and say i didnt
>>559849386I don't think Mary will change anything in this game. At most she'll be an useful grappler in this game. Or she'll just be another combosloppa rushdown character.
>>559862542>I don't think Mary will change anything in this gamep much won'tmaybe at best have her spark install but that's not like some kind of insane in the membrane change that'll stand out so much that it'll turn heads any

he's clearly upset that capcom is getting away with ai while snk can't get away with ai because of double standardsoh waitthat's double standards of snk marks who are okay with complaining about the same shit over and over again while complaining about things being said over and over again against snk
I'm just upset about no classic Mai costume
snk is like angel reesegiven the ball several times during the game, people in the crowd secretly begging for her to finally make that playconstantly throwing bricksconstantly getting all these me-boundscan't even make a shot even when they're literally right under the netnoone buyin their shoesget put on cereal boxes as if it means somethingput on a pedestal by copetists who believe she's devalued by systemic failures in attitudes toward her kindand get all green eyed that a white bitch is the one drawing the crowdand her own fans are trying to act like there's something else to blame besides her own failuresoh wait my bad, i should have used a rasslin analogy instead>>559911730they could have at least given her one of the variations like from ff3 or even her mi alt where she looks like maiyonetta 2

But anyway all companies now train AI prompters, and snk did it for an official promo not fun gag video that less people will see or care about.>is it hypocrisy?Yes if they were arguing from an ethical standpoint. but nevertheless snk was still stupid for not reading the room
Consider this.
>>559959765Color edit for her during the super?

>>559784809>you gotta have the right shills at the right time with an actual good looking, fun gameyou don't even need the "right shills", just start with a good looking fun game and it'll spill over decently from there, and it helps if the said good looking fun game has the kind of appeal in content among other things that'll actually attract people instead of johnny interchangeable content that they won't gaf about like kevin or preecha or vox
>>560000697oh, and i probably should have added this, but it's not just content but also in the way it carries itself as you can have a sexy 10/10 chick but if she's got the charisma of cardboard then she's just another playboy mag centerfold you can download off the internet that they'll ignore, and you'll keep wondering why she didn't attract customers to the lemonade stand like you thought, because you were thinking too much in terms of simple equations of this -> gives you that, we're humans, not robots, so don't be a nerd
bump...
>>560010115you should probably work on your drawing skills
>>559932426"Revive themselves" with someone with a dinosaur mind as director who chooses Kenshiro instead of Baki? Yeah. Good luck with that.
>>559890038Amazing how much better she looks in COTW than SF6.
>>560013441If you prefer Baki to HNK there's something wrong with you.
>>560015850I'm talking about the choice that would bring the most publicity to the game in an efficient way.Younger audiences know more about Baki than about HNK because of Netflix.Kenshiro fits better in Mortal Kombat, not Fatal Fury (for obvious reasons). Why place a character in the game in such a restrictive way?Gai Tendo is based on Baki. They could use that to foster the idea of a new Buriki One.In the end, Oda is making the game for him and oldfags like him. contradicting himself when he said he wanted to target a younger audience.
Why are the input buffers for KoF so wishy-washy?There are way too many inputs that overlap and result in things you don't want (usually wasted meter and unsafe moves).
>>560018139that's not going to work either you focus group mind
>>560028652>THE RATINGS JUST KEEP GETTING HIGHER!lol i had no idea they made a comedy manga for xiv
>>560018139In Japan HNK has an intergenerational appeal. Prety much as Dragon Ball outside the nihonese islands.
>>560042180what i don't like is he's doing exactly what i get on snk's case about doing with characters like shunei"uhHh iTs fOr thE YouNGer GenErATiOn"seriously, stop
>>560043839I think Shunei is overhated but I agree he didn't have a chance, worse if he was designed for young players. And yet it could be worse.
>>560018591Because scrubs complained the inputs were too strict. So now you get misread inputs, and you ironically have to either trick it or being even more strict. tl;dr: the FGC are retards. XIV wasn't as loose as XV, but still loose.
>>560018139>Oda is making the game for him and oldfags like him.Every time a shit decision or game is made, the people the devs listened to like saying it wasn't made for them. Marvel Scrubs are doing the exact same thing you are now, with 2XKO. "It was made for the hardcore crowd" no, it wasn't. Same with COTW. The game has unga bunga inputs, SF6 slime, pussified characters, homogenized inputs, and modern mode. It wasn't made for "oldfags". On top of all that you wrote, every single franchise you mentioned is 30-40 years old. >"stop catering to old fags and make a new Buriki One!"^You're one confused motherfucker.
>>560000697You just repeated what I just fucking said, but put a No, in front.
>>560051720>If you don't have brand worship, you gotta have the right shills at the right time with an actual good looking, fun game.not really, i was insisting on removing shills out of the equation alltogether
>>560051518And yet it's the toughest game of the latest batch. A demanding game that goes against the trend followed by other companies of making fighting games much stupider and easier.
>>560063483Almost like part of the problem is how difficult defense is relative to the remedial resourceslop offense.
SNK Girls who'd agree to a threesome?
It's uphttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNgsBn7r6Vg
>>559784809>You essentially have to be close to perfectThat’s exactly what I said here >>559613127this game has to be PERFECT to break even at most.The issue is that even perfect is subjective. E33 was mediocre garbage but normalfags worshipped it. What’s not subjective in all cases is good graphics and good music the rest you can cut corners.
If even Nioh 3 kinda flopped how would SamSho RPG make it? It’s over for SNK they were too late people got bored of samurai simulators I was right.If I was them I would wait until Onimusha or Sekiro 2 start that train again to ride off their hype.
>>560092904>5K players>flop???
It's hilarious to see Snk arriving late to the halloween party in a Temu costume that used to be trendy, but now people get tired just looking at it.
Kage Wolf is corny Mugen OC and I love it.
>>560092904Isn't the new Onimusha still being released this year? I thought the problem with Nioh 3 was being too similar to Nioh 2 so people don't to pay U$70 for that. At least that's what I felt like after playing the demo. Pretty fun but I'll wait for a sale. But to be honest, I hardly pay full price for single player games. I don't even remember the last time I did that, maybe for Uncharted 3 or Dead Space 2?
30 years of Art of Fighting 3.
>>5601060575 million people paid $70 for RE9, which is practically the same as RE2R with a different look (Capcom did the same orphanage segment in the exact same scenario). So, I don't think it's a problem of being similar; it's more about the game's popularity level.
When will SNK make games so good-looking that it's listed as a main-feature?
>>560092904Decades of the big publishers fleecing people + most financially uncertain times in recent history = people spending less on uncertain hype. A lot of people still don't even have a PS5, and it's now MORE expensive to buy one or build a PC now than it was in 2020. All has an effect. It even hits fighting games. Devs/pubs milked people for years with the GAAS model, so now people are way more hesitant to leave the comfort zone they've already sometimes poured 100s of dollars into (DLC, passes). Now, most people only wanna buy/invest in 1 online genre game per gen. And the gens now last 10 years or more.
Look at this ugly dude. Seriously who wanted this? Why not just give us Ryo if you want karate man so much.
>when the consoomers are telling you they'll pay extra for recycled assets
I mean I personally would've not complained if instead of "new" characters like Cringe Ronald and Saliva Gucci, we got some recycled FF characters instead. Or hell, I wouldn't even mind Hein or Alice from XIV.
>>560108226Cool. Any post from SNK about?
Speaking of Ronaldo, I'd like to do another reminder that anyone that defended his inclusion is a fucking retard, and are one of the reasons why modern SNK will always be a shitty company who'll always be a laughing-stock. Company can't improve if even their fans are low-IQ, shit-eating retards also who will chow down on anything. Ronaldo looks like shit, his animations look like shit and are the worse in the game, and much more. There are "humans" now who somehow defend him to this very day, even after we've seen how his forced inclusion did nothing for COTW at all but make people mad, and others turned off.
>>560133702Counterpoint, he is the most fun character to use
>>560125005Yes, what you are watching. Also you can win tshirt if you give a like to their post or something.
>>560092904>If even Nioh 3 kinda flopped how would SamSho RPG make it?I fucking hate how you used Nioh 3 as the example. Still sold 1 million sales btw
>>560133808So fun that he's the least played character in the game
>>560137290Not my fault, most people still playing are tier whores
>>560138020Almost like the game actually isn't fun
>>560137290Actually the DJ is the least played character in the game. Ronaldo is the 2nd least.
>>560139497Main difference there is DJ legitimately is unplayable
>>560136857I think anon is the only one who thinks Nioh 3 flopped.
>>560151165New collab?

Retarded take but Samsho and KOFXV should've still been supported if you're injecting higher cash prizes for these games.Samsho should've gotten crossplay and KOFXV should've gotten more updates.In KOF's case, 3 years of support for a game that comes out every 6 years isn't good enough.
>>560196436Hi, me from the last 2 years.
>>560196436>>560196436>Samsho and KOFXV should've still been supportedThey should've just launched as better games. Then more people would've bought them. Then they would've had more support. Then snk would have a better rep. They're making another samsho and kof anyway, with much better graphics. So I don't know why you keep going on about them being abandoned. They were rushed, lazy (fun) games.
I don't think they were rushed. Specially XV.
>>560198356>They're making another samsho and kof anyway, with much better graphics.They're not and if they were they wouldn't have better graphics as they've proven with COTW
>>560198356>with much better graphicseven if they did improve in that realm, the models themselves are also a problem and they've been doing relatively the same modeling style for the past 5 gamesit's apparent when you look at models like kevin and dongtheir art direction and quality checking need drastic help and that's not an issue they would know how to easily fix on their own end, it needs a third party agency to come in and evaluate them
>>560207683>I don't think they were rushed. Specially XV.lol

Winkawakws is the only linux emulator that works with kof 2002.>But mameMame is a piece of shit where you need to download 50 GB of roms in a .zip before trying to test if the rom magically has the same exact autistically same version as the emulator.Because mame doesnt' work with 99.9999999999999% of roms unless you magically find the exact version compiled with the same setup and astrological position.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDzVkUeUj4obros, wtf.I was able to emulate kof 2002 in nim amd SDÑ.lol
>>560239681I just use the one listed on Fightcade.
>>560196436Also add that AOF3 should have been the first or second game of their NeoGeo Premium if they wanted people to compete for it officially. Not fucking Kizuna Encounter. Coop tag is fun but why before AOF3?
>>560275863But Aof3 was already in gog
>>559889046Washizuka is already straight up Saito, just with Kenshin's scar.Hell, a lot of the Last Blade cast can be considered fusions of RK characters.
>>560279126It's that crappy ACA version that you need to set up everytime. The tourney they held last year was a disaster.
