Terry is cool on a visual level, but I don't think his fighting style is that exciting as a fighting game character.
Like basically every KoF MC is more interesting than Terry as a fighter imo

I'd say he is better than Ryo overall, but whenever Ryo had his big punch super as something he could throw in neutral for big rewards even Ryo was more interesting than Terry imo

I'll reserve my full judgement. If you look at the FF2 version, there are fire torches and candles burning, and a moving orchestra. Feels alive. If the new one is just a completely still audience in hall with nothing else, it looks grand, but hollow. Glad he has his own stage, though, so I'll wait and see.

How is it possible for these devs to be THIS soulless? The 1992 stage looks and feels more alive than this. Jeez man why is it seemingly impossible for these guys to make anything cool/appealing.

Krauser's story for COTW (Link: https://www.snk-corp.co.jp/us/games/fatalfury-cotw/characters/krauser.php):

>Ruled the sinister underbelly of society as the Emperor of Darkness, until he fell in battle to the resilient fang of the Hungry Wolf—or so the rumors, spread by his own offspring, would have the public believe. Now, years later, the son of the sovereign has a fighting tournament of his own; for Krauser, whose ruthlessness has only grown with time, it is the perfect chance to strike. The stage is set—not a requiem for the fallen, but an overture to revenge.

In short, seems like him killing himself is now easy to be seen as an in-universe rumor and that both Krauser men (Rudolf and his son Franz, the host of the tournament) do not see eye to eye. Here's a thought: was this really how Oda and the production team (not wanting Franz to be the real antagonist despite him being mentioned to be the tournament's host)? No leaks on Franz to be a new playable character down the road?

Until City of the Wolves, there wasn't any real indication. Even in COTW, Franz is only mentioned in passing (despite being the host and presumably holding Geese's Legacy), I don't think we've even seen him yet.

Genuinely retarded company. This would be if Adelheid and Rose were characters that never showed up on-screen at any point. Even XIII gave them a half-assed cutscene ending. They NEVER alluded to the idea he had a son at any point, otherwise we would've been talking about this shit by now. How is the supposed finale of Fatal Fury that put effort into its writing this bad at showing us the story?

Gonna have to agree. Very happy that one of my favorites is in, and has a stage (should be standard, really). But it could have been way more 'epic'. Even something simple, like the roof being glass and lightning, thunder flashing in the sky. I will say, at least the people fidget and move.
>>
>>563861189
Bro the fucking wiki didn't have an Heir of Stroheim page until today. This shit was NEVER brought up at any point in-game or out. Oda never even alluded to the fact Krauser had a son. This is a massive lack of information in a game that wastes its time on complete fucking nonsense

It's somehow worse than all prior KOF stories since at least those knew never to take its roster filler seriously. Here we don't even know the host of a Fatal Fury tournament despite literally being the son of the man who ruined Geese's life and effectively kickstarted the entire franchise. Like what's the actual fucking point of this game
>>
>>563855919

>so he'll actually be a dick and not some misunderstood tran

He may preach about fighting honorably (if brutally), but he is a crime lord too (and a better one if he's called "Emperor of Darkness" and his reach my be all of Europe) and he's the one man Geese feared (owing to how Wolfgang interfered in Geese trying to murder their father Rudolf). You can also see his suicide (before it was retconned) as proof Krauser can still have an ego and his defeat at Terry's hands as proof that you really shouldn't take anything out of an individual's mouth as proof of his or her mouth, and in Wolfgang's case, he failed to really accept that he can be beaten.

In short, Wolfgang was not really a nice guy in the first place.
>>
>>563861575

>>563850178
This could've been a clever reversal of perspective, a reversal of theme, etc. But they're not skilled enough to pull it off :(

>>563861761

Meant "you really shouldn't take anything out of an individual's mouth as proof of his or her character".
>>
>>563861575
Said it before. The people who created these IPs and loved the characters aren't there anymore. The people in charge of current SNK weren't there at the company's peak, and do not have the same eye for detail.
>>
>>563862645
Yeah but you'd think those type of people would be pushing for new slop entirely. Instead SNK is weirdly cursed with this geriatric interest in 80s/90s culture controlling a bunch of millennial/zoomer puppets to shit out their supposed dream game, like a boomer obsessed with AI making him besties with Jesus and Rambo

So the soullessness of the game is interesting on every other level than the game itself, which is a net negative for interesting

Of course Wolfgang fucks, just look at him.

lol
>>
>>563866620
I can't remember where or if it's flat out said - maybe it was on the site or something - but Kain's rival cutscene with Billy has him ask if he stole the legacy from Franz (specifically namedropping him), and the host of the tournament claims that the legacy was in his possession. Billy's story also has it as a plot point that Geese's legacy was stolen by a "mysterious man", but it's not actually touched on in his story, the legacy is just there by the rival fight.
Franz was also claimed to be part of Season 3 back when those leaks happened.
>>
>>563861761
He's a brutal crime boss like you said, but the fact that he would value fighting honorably at least gives him more virtue as a character than Geese or Mr. Big. So the idea that he's the one to remain an unrepentant villain over those two is odd to me, but I guess I'll wait to see.
>>
>>563863541
>Yeah but you'd think those type of people would be pushing for new slop entirely.
They're not confident in their own ideas yet, because even using classic nostalgia IPs - the surefire way to make money - have barely been profitable due to their fumbles. Add that fumbling tendency to a IP and it is a disaster waiting to happen. Trust me, if SNK games were doing 2 milly each, the probability that they'd be making all sorts of new IPs goes up. They don't wanna take the risk, cause they ain't confident enough yet.

and going by this resume, it's clear he hasn't gone through those growing pains yet, it's why i said snk should train their naive ass talent on small titles they can release as shovelware on like steam or w/e

Interestiiiiing. Looking forward to see what they've done, and if they've changed both the Arcade select screen, and the online menus. From that little screen shot, they might have streamlined things. Shame they couldn't see the flaws in the launch UI to begin with. That gives the impression they're bad judges of Good vs Bad design, unless someone outside SNK tells them. Good menu design is a STANDARD for a professional company. We've had nice, flashy menus in all genres since at least the PS4 gen

I'm hesitant to remove the defensive aspect of REV Blow, because both defensive and offensive aspects enhance the other.

I'd rather introduce increased hitstop, giving you more time to hitconfirm into super or feint cancel into high dodge attack. And maybe even allow you to special cancel into Air Rev Blow from an air normal.

No, the other guy is right. Just Defense, Hyper Defense, Guard Cancels, and Rev Guard annihilate any need for any extra defensive armor, let alone RB, the way it is. In fact, all those make having Rev Guard retarded as well. Rev Guard shouldn't even be in the game.

No its just best to take out the armor outright. Its stupid to have a move that:

>is the easiest thing to Guard Cancel since its just two buttons to do
>has armor on frame 2 so it can mashed out through most every blockstring
>can't be JD'ed so its a piss easy way to push you into Overheat or guard crush you
>has infinite armor allowing it to outright shut down projectiles outright for some characters
>beat DPs outright while being safe on block itself
>can airstall when you do air Rev Blow that can make the High Dodge Attack, the most thats supposed to beat it, straight up miss and get hit
>does a different move/animation for every character which makes reacting and punishing it inconsistent even when you are trying to look for it
>has different frame data and hitboxes for every character so some are actually better than others (B.Jenet)
>can only be countered best with your own Rev Blow, which you dont always have on you cause the S.P.Gs dont line up

Rev Blow has so much bullshit on its side condensed into one move that does so much that it turns the game into this random factor that can steal the game from you on top of all the bullshit all these characters can do already. People at all levels of play will spam this dumb move and steal momentum or shut down the opponents offense outright. No one would throw out a 20+ frame move out when the opponent is right in their face but because of infinite armor and braindead easy guard cancel. God I am just so sick of fighting games being undermined by stupid as hell gameplay mechanics that dominate or effect the game more individual character strengths.

Hindsight problem, really. Krauser was only made as a bullshit Bison knockoff for their bullshit SFII knockoff and Obari was the one that gave Krauser an actually fun, intimidating character where he was the younger half-brother of Geese that not only made Geese shit himself but mogged Terry without even trying. If it wasn't for that change, SNK wouldn't have kept Krauser around at all

Meanwhile Andy just never got shit to do in the classic Fatal Fury series that wasn't just an alternative Terry path. So eventually he sort of devolved into being Mai's boyfriend. MotW REALLY shouldn't have cut him

Hold up can we talk about this? Because Krauser/ Andy rivalry has been one of my biggest hear me outs:

>Krauser is an aristocrat born into a esteemed bloodline, viewing his god-like strength and genius as proof of his innate superiority over all men. Andy was an orphan on the streets born frail and small and timid. He went from a small, unconfident kid who hid behind his brother and father to one of the strongest men in the world through sheer effort.

>Krauser solidified his power by murdering his own father as a stepping stone(and likely vengeance for his mother) while Andy’s entire life is a monument to Jeff's teaching and his love for the man who raised him and Terry and fought to avenge his death.

>They're both younger brothers but Krauser has nothing but disdain for his brother and planned to kill Geese and take everything he had built before he leaned Terry had defeated Geese already, whereas Andy admires and cherishes his older brother, seeing his naturally talented brother as the benchmark he has to surpass one day, and would die for his brother if it came down to it.

>Krauser's whole aesthetic is built on his deep appreciation for his European royalty, Andy became entrenched in Japan and fully embraced another country and culture.

>Krauser is a fast, strong, tanky monster who dominates space and overwhelms his opponents, Andy specifically learned koppo to compensate for his frailer, small body so he could dismantle larger opponents(which makes him the perfect counter to Krauser).

>Krauser fights to prove he is a god among men that he stands at the apex. Andy fights and trains to protect his loved ones and self-improvement.

>Krauser kills himself after suffering his first defeat, Andy sees every defeat as a lesson and opportunity to improve.

>Andy is the son and student of Jeff Bogard and the disciple of Hanzo. In him, Krauser fights not just one but BOTH of the men who were the first people to ever wound him.
>>
You forgot about:

>Andy is gay and a cuck at best.

>Krauser fucks women and makes babies.
>>
>>564037227
Nah, Andy should fight some rival bad ninja
>>
>>564016105
I mean, you can still have him target Terry first, interested in the man who beat Geese. Actually it works even better, makes Andy seek out the man who nearly killed his brother like he was going to in the OVA.

You could probably have him beat up on Jubei if you don't want to sideline Terry. Krauser goes on a world tour to wail on masters and gets one up on Andy's master. Terry and Joe agree to help out but Andy has the personal motivation. Hell might even give Mai some drama too.

>>
>>564038883
Krauser is kind of a weird villain after Geese's more personal connection. Like he's brutal and evil and stuff but just in that BIG STRONG GUY WITH NO MERCY kind of way. Even the OVA had to sort of invent a reason for Terry to be scared of him which was... eh.

Because they aren't enemies, they are merely rivals. Krauser only fought Terry because he wanted to see if he could give him a fun fight since he beat his brother.

You guys keep going bout Krauser being evil but he has never been shown doing anything evil or bad. He just fucking loves fighting and goes all in on every fight. The guy even has honor and shows respect for his fallen enemies and is a better loser than most SNK bosses.

I don't applaud any of it. That money could've gone toward a smaller budget digital game in a diff genre. Why is it that one of the first things nu snk does when they get guaranteed money, is re-release the console that helped them go bankrupt the first time? LMAO. It's like it's one big troll. No new KOF Collection, no new FF collection, no new Metal Slug, let's re-release the NeoGeo AES with actual cartridges. I'd blame Saudi, but they did this with the mini arcade thing before then.

How did XV (and to a less extent XIV) become the only KOF games where the competitive meta at the highest level doesn't dissolve into mirror match after mirror match even 4+ years after launch (when most other KOFs got solved and reduced to that point in a year or so of competitive play)?

The thing is, a lot of things worked out for Metal Slug in the 90s, which helped immortalize it in gaming culture, but SNK has to remember that today's gamers aren't the same as the old ones. You'll have to start over.

One thing to consider is that KoF has become more international than previously.
like in brazil one of the top players was playing like Seth & Ralf in 2002 and Ralf is known to be like pretty mediocre in 2002 but he still made do with him in multiple money matches.
But besides the occasional fightcade with other latinos you'd never see him go against the chinese guys.
Now in XV you get brazilians, mexicans and USA going against chinese and japanese and competing at a pretty high level so that allows for more variety between the players

As long as the SNK World Tour is a thing which fair enough no one knows how long it will take at least KoF XV is getting highlighted every year and it's in a good place meta-wise

COTW's color editor used to also be able to change skin color in beta, but that was later removed in the final version, still curious as to why SNK did that. Did some characters look too jank with a darker skin tone?

By making the game more focused on combos and rushdown. Homogenization makes it easier to balance (just look at SF6) and even then, vanilla XV was ass. '98 might be a 6 character game but at least they have different playstyles.
Honestly, XIII deserved more balance patches. It's a better "combo-slop" KOF than the two games that were released aftewards.
>>
>>564225979
>It's a better "combo-slop" KOF than the two games that were released aftewards.

XIII combos are worse than XIV or XV, it's practically the blueprint for CotW's shit except being frame perfect. The game also cut so many moves due to the HD sprites so the combos are even more "just spam the exact same move over and over in a corner" than any of SNK's modern output. The only thing it has over CotW is lack of SPG/Rev Blow

To be fair, SNK seems to be aware that AoF4 won't sell if they just copied AoF1 and 2, and will probably get heavily revamped to appeal to new gens. So expect more female characters and some kind of supernatural plot.
They'll probably keep Ryo, Robert, Yuri and King, but they are definitely not bringing back John and Mickey for instance. Gimmick could be anything, it needs to be different from COTW or SF6, but not too complex to filter casuals, westerners already don't want to play SNK games.

The issue is not the effort put into marketing, but how to distinguish it from their other 1v1 fighters. You have COTW and SAMSHO and now this? 3 ips competing with each other in a dying market is insanity. Only way for it to make sense is either to be 3d fighter which will give it a boost after Tekken 8 fuck ups, or an entirely different genre.

AoF4 won't sell regardless of what they do. At least with CotW you can rationalize that they were gaslit by the max dood types + Terry being an ebin guest in other games, but AoF has literally zero appeal that sets it apart from SF to anyone aside from old hardcore fg players who probably buy every new fg anyways. Doing any fighters other than KoF and Samsho (already established IPs that have unique niches in the genre) makes zero sense to me if they're actually serious about trying to grow as a company.

AoF is so unknown to the general public that it could work in its favor. It might seem like a fresh series, and they should promote it as such. If there's one thing we've seen, it's that the return of "the old, mythical IP from the '90s" isn't something that draws people in.
And I'm referring to Marathon.

The only thing that truly holds AoF back is that it's being a fighting game.

It would probably have more of a chance to stand out than another FF/AoF I guess, especially if they manage to translate its reversed control scheme to modern controllers decently. Since the UFC is owned by the saudis too, you might even be able to get Jon Jones in. Then the controversial irl guest is at least relevant to the genre.

The smarter decision would've been to release CotW now + the DLC, no collabs and these modes while having been producing KOFXV DLC this whole time. Especially would've built a stronger reputation than killing KOFXV in its third year entirely just to shit this game out as anemic as it is

It wouldn't, but making content rich games that aren't just "who cares you're going to go online and totes play anyway" would get more people to play your game than what CotW actually released as. The core problem is these mechanics are just gimmicks and not shit they're actually invested in, so there's no desire to want to even try them out because it's genuinely not something the devs care about promoting or focusing on. In this instance, they could have cut as many corners as KOFXV and just launched like SFV did with a working online and got the exact same results as what they did due to their dogshit marketing and misguided development

if it were available in say EOST, that would help it a lot in terms of actual single player fun, but since they're shitty gimmick slop wasted on a single stage most likely, nobody's going to play them and it's wasted dev time nonetheless

Cause as of right now, is anybody in this general actually going to play with Ring Outs? No? You probably would've at least tried them if they were in at launch

it's not as simple as that
it's not just about quantity, even if i agree that snk games are so fucking bare minimum that ea would be making fun of them for shortchanging the consumer on base content
it's also heavily about the kind of content that people care about and that's been demonstrated so many times and that's all i'll say about that

my other suspicion is still the lack of talent and either effort or efficiency of the staff
either they're dispassionate and half-ass things just to fulfill a task for the day or they go out of their way to mix cement in a bucket to stick some small things together when the gluestick is right there
>>
>>564354841
It's obviously not, because you ignored the point of
>The core problem is these mechanics are just gimmicks and not shit they're actually invested in, so there's no desire to want to even try them out because it's genuinely not something the devs care about promoting or focusing on.

Ring Outs won't save the game because Ring Outs aren't adding anything genuine to the game other than a little distraction. Content doesn't matter if it's boring as shit, has no effort and is just something for the devs to do instead of being a big part of why Fatal Fury coming back is a big deal. This is why these fuckers need to move on, because half-assed fighting games are more of a money sink than half-assed anything else, because the latter isn't expected to last +3 years

>The core problem is these mechanics are just gimmicks and not shit they're actually invested in, so there's no desire to want to even try them out because it's genuinely not something the devs care about promoting or focusing on.
i ignored that part on purpose because it didn't serve my point any to begin with, which i don't even know why you're preaching at me those points if my points are just concurring with yours apparently as far as "Content doesn't matter if it's boring as shit (etc)", though half-assed anything else makes me question where you're driving your point toward and makes me think you're on that OTHER genre thing again

and i'm like, yeah, another genre would be nice, but let's not believe that such a change alone would add to the market value of an snk game

Franz is only the "fifth" character if they shadow drop him before Mr. Karate. But I suppose that could happen. They did it before with Rugal in KOFXV

It's great. We've been slowly getting the game we deserve after every big update. But sadly nothing I see here dissuades me from thinking that after cramming all of Season 3 into the 2nd half of 2026, that'll be the end of big updates/changes for the game.

I hope I'm wrong...

The game is confirmed to be part EWC 2027, sonit probably balao be sort of SNK's world tour next year. Personally, I don't need fighting games to get more than three years of support especially when we know they have intentions of working on other fighting games. Devs moving on to a new project after years of support is healthy.

Right, time to wrap shit up after three years or so. Fighting games don't need 6 and 7 years of support just to end up ass and worse than previous versions of the game. See: usf4, sfv, Tekken 7, and strive at the moment

>>564365206
Gamers have been trained now to believe if a fg doesn't have multiple seasons = DEAD. On top of all that, it's got worse, to exclude anything not the Big 3 as dead, also. Then on top of that, devs are releasing games half-baked, and spend half of the first season getting it to where it should've been at launch.

Look, if fgs released polished, full of content, and not buggy pieces of shit at launch, it would solve half the problem.

Yet another problem is the DLC and seasons themselves. It costs 100s, if not 1000s of dollars in some cases to buy all the DLC over 7 years of support. That's per game. And now because seasons are the standard, and gamers think no seasons = dead, they are gonna pick one, and only one, franchise and stick with it for a whole console cycle. They will rarely, if ever spend 100s and 100s of dollars on 2 or 3 games with 7 years of DLC each. It's just not gonna happen. That's another reason playerbases have shriveled to almost nothing, and why nobody wants to switch and try a new game. They are locked in and have bought the seasons in advance. That's not even getting into the influencer corruption steering it one way or the other. Short support won't work if the IP isn't mega famous like MK

The only notable things that were shown in the trailer were the new Kain costume and the ring out stage. That's fucking it. They didn't show any other costumes, that Franz guy, or anything else of interest. And btw the ring out animation looks stiff as hell, just like everything else in this game.

ex mai, take parts from kofxv because cotw mai is not necessarily the same kit, give her crimson explosion as a secondary dm

they are discounting the game but not the season pass, so us veterans that own the game are not getting anything
it's not like I buy season passes when they have less than 75% discount, but anyway, they have to discount it too

If SNK outsources a Counter-Strike clone, but it's a Metal Slug (using all the created material) and releases it on Steam with skins and collectible items, then the world will know that "SNK" is not just about Attack on Titan. That's how you gain more global recognition imo

>the heavy version of special moves can be use in Smart

They are fixing smart.

Not.


THEY FIXED SMART.


And I say this as the only guy who still used smart from time to time. This is big.

Nobody will play a counter strike clone just because it has the Metal Slug name. The best evolution for Metal Slug is doing it similar to HADES Rogulike, where you try different builds against hordes of enemies and every time you die you experiment with something else. It’s perfectly suitable for a game about trying different gears.

Or doing it like COD zombies, where you have perks and try to do puzzles and collecting gun parts to build op weapons like the Thundergun

shooters, hero shooters, extraction shooters... etc are an oversaturated market.

metal slug needs to be... a metal slug, just make it cooperative online

He said in a random reply that some execs of the old SNK wanted him gone, if the saudi guy is smart he would get him back to Metal Slug and also help him finish his game.
>>564478368
I don't remember any company putting their season pass on sale before they finish releasing it. Having the base game cheap and the season pass full price has been the fighting game model for a few years.
It should go on sale when they announce season 3.

Can you finally taunt in Smart mode?

I don't expect a season pass to be on sale before the next one is released. I still didn't buy season 2 and waiting for them to actually reveal the whole content instead of these mystery boxes.

New mode will get more content later. Maybe they will add stuff for each new important character?

bet they called him metalslugschizo because he was trying to challenge snk's status quo and they were marks

On paper it would be Legendary. But the actual level of players, I think Platinum or lower.

It's ResetERA you lazy fuck. Max only boycotted because ad revenue from his channel is more important.

The update looks good to me. Very good, even, apart from the predicted possible fuck ups. EX moves meter. Input changes. UI updates everywhere, no sign of Arcade char select update.

SNK is literally doing that right now with the Legend Edition. They're just also shitting on people who already own the game at the same time.
>>
Are you really not allowed to purchase characters seperately? Gonna scoop the game tomorrow when the $20 edition comes out but I only want Chun and Geese for DLCs. Am I really going to have to buy both passes for them?
>>
>>564515682
Since you "bought it anyway" they're only being nice to potential newcomers (lol) that need convincing to get the game to artificially inflate the sales before the newcomers realize the game isn't that interesting and drop it. SNK is doing all in their power to try and force you to mentally break so that you buy their DLC Pass when there's literally no reason to do so unless CotW is your fucking job
>>
Furthermore, to the faggot that said "don't run a business" when I said CotW should have been delayed to this year to actually have worthwhile content to launch and not look like some kind of anemic cow whose milk is dust

I think you can get fucked after this announcement
