Dead general.
Whenever I see Japanese talk about SNK they mention Art of Fighting. Was it really popular there? More than FF?
Man, we really are dead now
The KOF98 "2 frame" requirement for the 3-direction in QCFs in supers is one of the more annoying execution restrictions I've come across.
JWong posted his CvS3 theorycraft video. Is he spitting?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUKUROhe2jk
>>562188889I can't believe 4 years of progress killed lovable /neog/...
I hate to say it but SNK might need to drop a gacha again. Preferably something like KOF All Stars but with all their properties. They were onto something with brawl but no one wants to play some lame auto bullshit.
>>562232565But it won't be fighter/brawler/beat-up type because they'd be afraid of losing more Cotw players. So, my bet is it will be the king of gems (raughs)
>tfw SNK has become a complete joke company
>>562215809Not really but it made an impact for those who played in its heyday. And somehow its part of the game culture even if you didn't play it.
>>562210668Means one of two and a half things>incoming Samurai Shodown>incoming action RPG>incoming SNK copying Capcom (who copied NRS) by making using mo cap in their fighting games.
>>562223624Button hold trick. Those old fighting games with strict motions were better. One of the reason modern fighters get boring is because every player can do everything 100% of the time from the start.
>>562232565Shoulda just made All Star a cheap beat em up. I would've bought it. The animation was based as fuck.
>>562242808genuinely this. how fucking hard is it to make a beat-em up with some of the coolest fighting game characters ever made?
Which is exactly what Aof4 is going to be.
>>562242808I miss KOFAS
it's too easy to see that an aof4 is not gonna be a hit or even mid, but hey they have money to burn, just like tony clown
>>562257081I miss PRANKS
>>562257802pretty zero and big are the only ones i really liked
>photorealistic akari body typeits fucking happening
>>>/v/736203302why does nobody reply to your thread lmaothat's how you crossboard link
>>562257979Goenitz was nice
>>562273781>Lady GoenitzGenuinely should've been canon or at least had her design repurposed to be some sort of follower like the Mugen bitch instead of being wasted.
>>562265595COTW is so boring and forgettable that it has to settle with that dimeless cuck making forced shitposts on /v/ instead of having genuine shitposters kek
>>562265595There's nothing to really talk about. Everything just feels like a wrap up to the characters, there's no real interesting plot threads or anything. Most interesting shit going on that points to future conflicts is from the fucking street fighter collab than the character's own fucking stories. What the fuck happened to mark of the wolves, man. I almost rather it had stayed dead but there is a bit of stuff I like in it but fuck...
>>562275361>I almost rather it had stayed dead but there is a bit of stuff I like in it but fuck...this summarizes my entire issue with snk's current state
>>562275208>>562275361>>562275669Imagine how funny it would be to go back to 1996 and tell the former SNK employees what the company will become 30 years later...They'll all be like: >"Wait, wait... what do you mean by... ONE GAME??"
>>562279147kek
K' looking blacker than usual
>>562282583Nah, this is his usual skin tone. It's the chink moba games and shit that bleached him.

So what's stopping them from making some relatively non-gacha small projects for mobile or switch or some shit? Athena's pretty popular. Boom, new psycho soldier game or a remake that implements some of the shit she and Kensou learned during KOF. Or a princess Athena game that's like a suped up version of Kirby Nightmare in Dreamland. Make a punch-out style game for Buriki 1 with Mr.Karate being the Mike Tyson of that game. Just shit like that. Nothing super high budget. Not everything has to be a AAA product aiming to sell millions and millions. The goal should be building up brand and character recognition with as minimal a cost as possible while still making a profit. They could use a smaller team to handle that sort of shit too while getting their more experienced staff working on bigger projects.
>>562284538You know, it's funny because back then they kind of tried to do those things (Beast Burster, King of Rhythm, KoF for girls). So, after they got the oil money and a mission (to bring SNK back to the >>glory days<<), it's easy to expect more smaller games like those. It's the most normal thought: let's make/pay for more games. Right? (The best route would be to emulate what Revolver Digital does in my opinion). But then someone (probably Oda) decided to focus the company on a new mentality. So, after receiving the oil money, they decided to "clean up" things (Kof15, Kofas) and "start from scratch," with Fatal Fury as the starting point. At the same time, they decided to focus on the mainstream/tournaments. This means following the stupid "core values" rules. So, any character that could be strange/controversial was removed/modified. Bye bye Freeman, Mary's boobs, Shota Hokutomaru. Even Mai's sexy appeal disappeared. Basically, trying to imitate big companies, especially Capcom. I bet Oda probably begged Capcom for a collaboration thinking, "If I walk near him at recess, the other kids will think I'm cool too." So, love or hate, their focus is on "big games". Not small/phone/indie games. The big problem. They're still focusing on fighting games and delivering graphics that are nothing more than late PS2 games with HD filter mod. Losing respect (they had more respect when they were making HD sprites). In the end, they're giving the impression that they're just trying hard to be as big as the other big companies. Like, "think and do like the big guys so you can become one of them faster". Again, a huge mistake.
>>562260118It's Nakoruru. Akari wields a big ass gohei.
>>562277902Sexy idol
>>562283062He was actually going to be in this game, wasn't he?This and a 3D CvS3 would have been something
Psycho Soldiers by 2029.
>>562305320Kek
>>562210668If SamSho RPG is a hit, we might get the Last Blade 3.
>>562325504SamSho RPG must sell this first.
>>562325504keep dreaming, bro.
>>562289805>focusing on fighting games and delivering graphics that are nothing more than late PS2 games with HD filter modThis wouldn't be too much of an issue, it's that on top of the pants-on-head retarded decisions (overpromising and underdelivering, Ronaldo, Ganacci, AI trailer, giving more love effort and respect to SF guest characters than actual legacy characters, mickey mouse ass plot shit, etc etc) that costs them respect.
>>562257802Pretty Big should be an actual character for AoF like really, it will be a nice addition to their saucless cast. Dunno if snk team did the oc or the chinese, but they own any variation of their characters I think.
>>562326721Crimson Desert is an example of graphics and quantity over quality sells first. New ip from a gook company that was only known for Black Desert that wasn’t favorably received, but Crimson Desert was marketed as a gorgeous good looking open world RPG where you can do everything, so people just fell for it.
>>562328921In theory, SNK should own all the characters that are derivative of their own, so all the themed versions, the BS and the pranks.I would love if they used BS Nameless the next time he shows up
>>562330631wow, he has so much edge and yet he's totally kino! If only there were some way to combine those two adjectives.
Andy is...
>>562334741Cute! CUTE!!!
>>562334741
>>562337447He's so fucking molestable it's unreal. fucking slut. acting all innocent.
*saves snk*
>>562340685looks like one of those mob bitches from Streets of Rage.
Who the hell is that
>>562346116LA CREATURA
>>562346116>real people want Kula to look like this
>>562346116Kawaii. Snk character designers could never compete.
>>562346116EL GOBLINA
>>562330110and snk is an example of neither quantity nor quality
His month
>>562364005get ready for him to take rock on uncle-nephew adventures on his personal boat telling him stories about his grandfather and completely softening the animosity between him and Geese
>>562210319wife
>>562346116they made SF6 look like this to appeal to Americans
>>562364486To be fair, Krauser was never evil.
what a weird variant
