Man, COTW was done dirty. It's the best modern fighting game out there.
It fixed every problem it had since beta within a year (well, except for muh PS3 graphics, can't do much about that) and it always produces something fresh every month.
But even then, streamers their tranny audiences have already labeled SNK as le evil Saudi company that used AI and won't give it a chance.
Said streamers were banking on 2XKO becoming a mega-hit, and when it giga-flopped, they've gone real quiet on the SNK case, but the damage has already been done.

Their’s no stigma around snk, because they’re utterly irrelevant and no normal people will waste 1 mb of his memory on them. Don’t fool yourself.
COTW flopped because as you said it took them 1 year to fix all of its issues, it should’ve been delayed and released in its current state. First impressions are everything and they destroyed that.

>>569354415
CotW might be the best modern fighting game out there, but I don't like modern fighting games and would've prefered either something more classic (like KoFXV was) or something experimental.
At least it is nice to see the old characters again and the plot to move. Obari doing animated trailers is insane.

>>569354980
You're kinda right, no one cares about SNK but I know casual fighting game players who call CotW "that saudi game" and won't touch it

>>569354980
>COTW flopped because as you said it took them 1 year to fix all of its issues
don't kid yourself, the game even as it is now wouldn't have done much better

I look at CotW's release and I kinda understand it. They knew that Fatal Fury isn't a widely recognized series, but Terry was in Smash and was being pushed heavy even before also being in Street Fighter. They put in a ton of advertising all over the place that young males would be watching. They paid streamers to play the game, they had a commercial with Kai Cenat and ishowspeed, they put in Ronaldo as fan service to the south american SNK fan base(though oddly El Grande Americano would be a better choice now). You'd think all of these choices would open non-fighting game fans and casuals to at least check the game out

Do you think these things were detrimental or the game was gonna be this dead regardless of what they did? Was there anything they could have done to save the game?

>>569358513
>Do you think these things were detrimental or the game was gonna be this dead regardless of what they did?
Yes and yes. Things would be slightly better, but not by much. Especially with them chasing the mythical new audience instead of going full fanservice in their main markets, especially Japan, but also China, LatAm, Worst Korea and MENA. In that order.
>Was there anything they could have done to save the game?
The game? Nothing, but that shouldn't matter to SNK, as their ideal strategy is to shill their characters to sell the merch and stuff instead. Too bad that they larp as a serious game company first and foremost nowadays, now that Saudis give them free money.

>>569358513
The answer to these questions is always simple. Did SNK make an AAA game? Because when your IP isn't mainstream, that's what it takes to be even a moderate success.

>>569355031
>>569354980
It's both.

>>569354415

They are Saudi and DID use a shitty AI trailer. That's not labeling, it's what SNK actually did. And yeah, I know, the FGC are hypocrites. You're right, though. Best fighting game in a long time.

>>569363752

No, CotW wasn't quite THAT soulless.

>>569358513
I think SNK in general are kind of irrelevant from a modern gaming zeitgeist perspective. On a surface level, there isn't much going for them.
Graphics? On one hand, you have games like SF6 or MK that go for realism. On the other, you have Arcsys who have stylized anime locked down. SNK are just in an odd middle spot unlike, say, Tekken which hits the middle ground in a better way.
Story? MK popularized the trend of full-fledged cinematic modes and Arcsys usually has a visual novel-esque story mode too. SNK still largely relies on Arcade mode runs, though CotW kinda tries with EOST. This is without mentioning that CotW's base story is weak (Franz, the host of the tourney who stole Geese's legacy, doesn't even show up) and that SNK didn't do that much to bring attention to the earlier games (side note, but I just looked at SNK's official "story of Fatal Fury" and it seems like the video is focused on Terry and Rock and skates over the Jin scrolls, which is funny considering that CotW brought them back up as a plot point).
Plus characters like Terry, Geese and Mai, if they are popular... can be played in other games. This extends to MotW's cast as well as B. Jenet and Gato also made KOF appearances. I don't see many reactions beyond, so I dunno how popular/unpopular the characters are, but as is the roster is only just recently leaving "FF mainstays that were already in KOF + MotW cast" territory.
TL;DR: There were things they could have done better with marketing, but overall it was always an uphill battle, especially in the modern day.

aesthetically ugly and fidelity issues are not the same thing

SamSho RPG will be the game that will make or break them, they should realize this and pour everything into it, but the fact that they didn’t have a mocap studio until recently and only because people shat on cotw, means that game will also not live up to modern expectations. But they’re lucky it didn’t release nor was even shown to the public. They better make sure it looks good with smooth animations.

>>569389073
Bloodborne a PS4 release title still looks better than most modern games because of the aesthetics, but snk is just too behind technologically that even good aesthetics won’t make up for it, Bloodborne has better graphics than cotw. You need a certain balance.

It's an uphill battle they didn't even really try to rectify. Lots of the marketing and advertising for Fatal Fury pretended it was still a big name people know about. Even then, the older games weren't massive hits outside of Japan at best to begin with. Once KOF hit the scene, Fatal Fury basically got replaced globally since KOF was just FF highlights + AOF highlights + old SNK rep + cooler, newer characters that outdated FF completely. That's why they tried to have MotW have cooler, younger characters like Rock, Jenet, Hotaru, Gato and the Super Kim Bros. while still retaining some FF DNA with older, muscular dudes like Marco, Kevin and Tizoc

They simply failed to market the game as a brand new thing and thought the comeback itself would interest people. This extends to the game itself where the bare minimum "new" it offers significantly relies on you knowing anything about Fatal Fury to begin with. Which in the last thread I pointed out 99% of the population doesn't know the difference between Fatal Fury or KOF and keep calling it KOF. It doesn't matter if KOF has origins in Fatal Fury because you can't just market Fatal Fury as its own thing while not explaining to audiences why it is its own thing to begin with. Instead of those cooler KOF characters people know and love like Kyo, Iori, Leona, Shermie, Angel we get Ronaldo and Salvatore, instead of a real story we get Franz hosting KOF, instead of unique gameplay separate from the rest of the competition, we get Temu SF6, so on

Sigh, Cham Cham has to work overtime to save SNK.

>>569389837
>instead of a real story we get Franz hosting KOF
That's the weird thing though. On one hand, I can see the logic of "every other Fatal Fury sans 3 had the villain host KOF" and it even uses the "Maximum Mayhem" name that Kain added in MotW.
But between Franz not even being in the game and only some characters fighting Fallen Rock while others fight another character on the roster, it really makes the tournament feel like it's there for the sake of being there and they could've found some way to rework the story to remove it. At least in MotW, all the characters end up fighting Grant and Kain.

>>569391453 (me)
Although now that I think about it, Fallen Rock himself may contribute to the "off-brand KOF" vibes, even if it's technically an extension of the Jins. It doesn't help that Re-Verse in XV was a possessed (?) Isla.

>>569391150
I wonder how they will deal with samsho characters, I doubt the story will center around everyone lest it’s l avengers trash, will they be guest npcs? Appear for some scenes? Haohmaru and Nakoruru will probably be the central characters alongside Yahamaru.

>>569391453
>>569391736
The short of it is that it's legitimately lazy and they use it as an excuse to have "all of the characters in the same space" again despite the fact the MotW cast all have motivation in South Town to be there still. More than half the characters are there not because they wanna prove themselves the strongest, MotW introduced a lot more varied motivations to justify why the spunky new generation would even consider being in a tournament to begin with, but CotW wasn't following the Maximum Mayhem tournament story it's following everyone's cliffhangers that had nothing to do with the tournament. So the story feels unnecessarily extra lazy

World Warrior Tournaments were SF's consistency up until SFV and 6's was lame because it focuses on OCs instead of the characters you actually give a shit about. If Fatal Fury wanted to be the "story focused" franchise, it should've actually focused on telling a story

Oversimplification. KOF wasn't their main fg until 96, which was also SNK's best year for everything else. It wasn't the defacto main game until 2000. 6 years after KOF 94.
>KOF was cooler...That's why they tried to have MotW have cooler, younger characters like Rock
Wrong again. They did the generational leap, because SF3 and Tekken 3 did it 2 years earlier. SF3 to a flop, and Tekken 3 to overtaking VF and SF to become becoming the biggest fg at the time.
>It doesn't matter if KOF has origins in Fatal Fury because you can't just market Fatal Fury as its own thing while not explaining to audiences why it is its own thing to begin with
They could've if they didn't
1. repeatedly overpopulate recent KOF games with MOTW characters as base and DLC
2. Blur the lines between COTW and modern KOF, to make KOF-onlys more comfortable.
3. Different, yet very similar art styles for both.
4. raise a gen of gamers to think SNK = KOF.

Are we really going to pretend that Fatal Fury 3 onwards, SamSho 3-4 and AoF3 weren't relatively unpopular and King of Fighters wasn't a huge hit prompting SNK to actually develop the KoF's plot beyond it being just a dream match crossover?
It's been a steady Fatal Fury Special -> Art of Fighting 2 -> KoF road in their main market (Japan).

That is true. They needed to do more with the story. I don't think what they did was bad exactly, the story itself was decent and I don't fault them for not including Franz right away (hell, his reveal was kind of a highlight of Krauser DLC for me, which I don't think would be if he was a final boss).
Personally, I don't think that arcade mode runs as individual character story lines are a bad idea, but it really did miss a one big main story line mode that they kind of brought in with Wolves' Destiny.
I feel like if they would make WD the core and tie in the arcade side stories and EOST progression around it somehow it would be the exemplar version of how fighting games stories should be structured (minus the ones that go full cinematic of course).

You don't, only to shit on it. I remember when you fags used to complain about the top characters all being Hotaru, Hoktu, Kain, and when they fixed that, you never brought it up again or praised their efforts, because you don't actually play the games, you watch the tourneys.
There's nothing to balance anymore, except impossible demands like remove rev that they will never do, but you will keep using it as an excuse.

I never did that, personally, but I'm sorry for not finding the addition of Billy, Rock, Preecha, Gato, Marco, Terry and Andy to the meta that exciting, even if I dabble in Preecha and Andy. Also, balanced doesn't mean fun. I'd love to see Tizoc, Kevin, Ronaldo, Salvatore, Joe and Jae Hoon buffed. Especially Tizoc.
At least Krauser and Mr. Karate seem like a breath of fresh air. Especially the latter.

This frankly won't change anything for the gameplay, you will hardly get any chance to pull it off. But anyway there's Kasumi and Ryu, but if three characters can do it instead of being a special for one only, why not just make it an ability for everyone? That's how I feel.

I recently found a copy of Fatal Fury 3 (and Samsho 1 or 2, can't remember offhand) for PC. I didn't even know it had a PC version.
Haven't tried installing it yet.

>>569503357

...Art of Fighting....4.

The Last Blade... 3?!

>>569503357

Seems about identical to the Neo-Geo CD version, but yes, a company called Gamebank released Fatal Fury 3 and the original Samsho (though the latter is harder to find info on) on Windows '95.

>>569503753

Correction. The Samsho port was actually Samsho 2.

>>569559456
oh hey, it's those characters who are totally veterans from old sf games, i can't believe they brought these VETERANS, AND TOTALLY NOT NEW FIGHTERS, back from the dead to make a comeback in sf6, as they are new, and not veterans or anything, including a female VETERAN and not NEW CHARACTER, because there can't be NEW characters that are female ever

>>569559897
Just like people started to stay "We always wanted Terry and Mai in SF, dude"?
I mean, honestly, those originals for the most part look more interesting than base game newcomers, but this speaks more about the general quality of SF6. I'd easily take Bosch over Luke and Jaime.

Just read the article, they’re making a movie adaptation of Fatal Fury with Geese as a villain, with influences from The Godfather and the Joker.
An animation about Terry and Andy as children lost and training to be published on YouTube.
A Webtoon about Art of Fighting.

It makes sense to adapt geese’s story since he’s the only popular snk character really, but straight adaptations of games have never worked. Should’ve done an original story in south town.

>>569625059
They're only doing this because Capcom is doing it. Just like Nintendo made the Mario movie because of the Sonic movie. The problem is that nobody cares about SNK, and fighting game movies are terrible by default. It's like a recipe for disaster.
